4.1 Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser will take all appropriate action and execute (or cause to be executed) all documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out any of the provisions hereof.

4.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Elections, Amendments and Refunds. (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not make, revoke or change any tax elections with regard to the Company which may impact any indemnity agreement of the Seller herein or the Company’s Taxes with respect to tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, a change in the Company’s method of accounting, without the express written consent of the Seller.

(ii) The Purchaser shall not, and shall not cause the Company to amend any Tax Return for any tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date without the express written consent of the Seller. (iii) Any Tax refunds that are received by the Purchaser or the Company and any amounts credited against Taxes to which the Purchaser or the Company become entitled, that relate to tax periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Seller, and the Purchaser shall pay over to the Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within ten (10) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. (iv) Purchaser shall not, and shall cause Company not to, take any action with respect to Taxes, which would increase, directly or indirectly, the amount of Taxes for which the Seller would have an obligation to indemnify the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2, or which would increase the Seller’s Tax liability with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

(b) Subject to Section 5.2(b), Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser Indemnitees harmless from and against and shall reimburse each Purchaser Indemnitee for, any and all federal income Taxes of Company for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (excluding any Taxes attributable to any action taken by the Purchaser at any time after the Closing, including without limitation, on the Closing Date) but only to the extent that the amount of such Taxes exceeds the reserve for Taxes shown on the Company’s Most Recent Financial Statements.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor the Company shall make any election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) To the extent relevant, for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall cause the Company to join in Seller's consolidated federal income Tax Returns. Seller shall be responsible for all federal income Taxes of the Company shown in such returns. The income of the Company shall be apportioned to the period up to and including the Closing Date, and the period after the Closing Date by closing the books of the Company as of the end of the Closing Date. In this regard, the parties hereto will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect with the relevant taxing authorities to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of Company.

(e) In the case of income Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to file Tax Returns for all periods other than periods ending on or before the Closing Date. As described in subparagraph (d) immediately above, the income of the Company shall be apportioned to the period up to and including the Closing Date, and the period after the Closing Date by closing the books of the Company as of the end of the Closing Date. If any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns are indemnifiable by the Seller in accordance with Section 4.2(b) hereof, (A) such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable laws; (B) the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with copies of each such Tax Return at least 45 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return; and (C) the Seller shall have the right to review and comment on each such Tax Return for 30 days following the receipt thereof and the Purchaser shall accept any changes reasonably requested by the Seller.

(f) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and any other such taxes and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the responsibility of Purchaser and be paid when due. Purchaser will, at its own expense, file all necessary returns and other documentation as may be required with respect to all such taxes, fees and charges.

(g) The Parties hereto agree to treat any indemnity payment as an adjustment to the Purchase Price or as a capital contribution, except as otherwise required by Regulation.

(h) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes; provided, however, that to the extent that such audit, litigation or other proceeding relates to periods ending on or before the Closing Date or could result in an indemnification obligation of the Seller, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Seller shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such audit, litigation or proceeding. Such cooperation shall include (without limitation) signing any Tax Return, amended Tax Returns, Claims or other documents necessary to settle any Tax controversy, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and the Seller agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Company and the Affiliated Group relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser or the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(i) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any tax sharing agreement between Seller and the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and shall have no further force and effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year).

(j) The Purchaser and the Seller further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(k) Indemnification Limitations: (i) If the amount with respect to which any claim for indemnity is made under this Agreement (an “Indemnity Claim”) gives rise to a Tax Benefit to the party making the claim (or would give rise to such a benefit if the party making the claim were a taxable entity), the indemnity payment shall be reduced by the amount of the Tax Benefit available to the party making the claim. To the extent such Indemnity Claim does not give rise to a currently realizable Tax Benefit, if the amount with respect to which any Indemnity Claim is made gives rise to a subsequently realized Tax Benefit to the party that made the claim, such party shall refund to the indemnifying party the amount of such Tax Benefit when, as and if realized. For the purposes of this Agreement, any subsequently realized Tax Benefit shall be treated as though it were a reduction in the amount of the initial Indemnity Claim, and the liabilities of the parties shall be redetermined as though both occurred at or prior to the time of the indemnity payment. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Tax Benefit” means an amount by which the Tax liability of the party (or group of corporations including the party) is reduced (including, without limitation, by deduction, reduction of income by virtue of increased tax basis or otherwise, entitlement to refund, credit or otherwise) plus any related interest received from the relevant taxing authority.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Purchaser agrees to include on its tax returns and to indemnify Seller for any additional Taxes owed by Seller (including Taxes owed by Seller due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any transactions engaged in by the Company not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Purchaser’s purchase of the Company’s stock. Purchaser and the Seller agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Purchaser’s purchase of the Company’s stock on the Purchaser’s federal income Tax return to the extent permitted by Reg. Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).

4.3 Use of Name. Seller agrees that from and after the Closing they will not use the name “Kenny Rogers Roasters” or any derivations thereof or any name deceptively similar to such names in any business enterprise or in any commercial relationship, other than in connection with the operation of the KRR Co-Branded Locations (as defined herein).

4.4 Co-Branding. Schedule 4.4 sets forth the Existing Co-Branded Locations and any new “Nathan’s Famous” or “Miami Subs” restaurant locations under development as of the Closing Date which are intended to contain “Kenny Rogers Roasters” co-branded menu-line extensions and intended to commence operations within 120 days after the Closing Date (such locations set forth on Schedule 4.4 are referred to as the “KRR Co-Branded Locations”). Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Parties will enter into a license agreement (the “KRR Co-Brand License Agreement”) containing the following terms:

The KRR Co-Branded Locations will not be permitted to make any substantial changes to the Existing Standards without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). However, no KRR Co-Branded Locations shall have any obligation to comply with any changes to the Existing Standards proposed or suggested by Purchaser;

(d) The NF Licensee shall be solely responsible for all franchise support owed to the operators of the KRR Co-Branded Locations, and Purchaser shall have no liability in connection therewith.

(e) The rights granted back to the NF Licensee shall be perpetual; provided that nothing shall obligate any particular KRR Co-Branded Location to continue to use the “Kenny Rogers Roasters” intellectual property.

(f) No franchise fees, royalties, product rebates or any other monies shall be due from the NF Licensee (or its operators and suppliers) to Purchaser in connection with the continued operation of the Existing KRR Co-Branded Locations.

4.5 Contract Ratification. Purchaser acknowledges that Company is a party to a beverage supply agreement with Coca Cola USA Fountain (“Coke”) dated February 25, 2000 (the “Coke Agreement”). Purchaser and Company (i) hereby ratify the Coke Agreement and assume obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 13(i) of the Coke Agreement, (ii) agree that they will pay and be solely responsible for any sums required to be paid or re-paid to Coke pursuant to the Coke Agreement and (iii) shall indemnify Seller, in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof, for any liability arising as a result of Company failing to perform under the Coke Agreement.

4.6 Post-Closing Checks Received by Seller; Post-Closing Payments Under the Existing Domestic Franchise Agreement. Seller shall promptly forward to Purchaser any checks made payable to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries received by Seller after the Closing Date; provided, that Seller shall be entitled to retain the royalty payment made by Host International Inc. under the Existing Domestic Franchise Agreement for the period ended April 18, 2008. With respect to the royalty payment to be made by Host International Inc. under the Existing Domestic Franchise Agreement for the period ending May 16, 2008, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that (i) in the event that Seller receives such payment, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, Purchaser’s pro rata portion of such payment and (ii) in the event that Purchaser receives such payment, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to Seller’s pro rata portion thereof.

4.7 Post-Closing Rebates. Any rebates received by the Seller after the Closing Date which are derived from the purchase of “Kenny Rogers Roasters” products by the Existing Domestic Franchise Location shall be paid to Company. It is expressly understood that Company and Purchaser shall have no right to any rebates derived from the purchase of any “Kenny Rogers Roasters” products by restaurants in the “Nathan's Famous” and/or “Miami Subs” restaurant systems, and that to the extent that Company and/or Purchaser shall receive the same, Company and/or Purchaser shall promptly pay such amounts to Seller.

4.8 Contract Termination. The parties agree that simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to TFI a notice of termination of the TFI Agreement, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “TFI Termination Notice”). Purchaser hereby releases Seller from, and agrees not to assert, any claim against Seller arising out of or relating to the TFI Agreement and delivery of the TFI Termination Notice.

5.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Except as provided in subsection (e) below, any Person making a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.3 above (each, an “Indemnified Party”) must give the Party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim promptly after the Indemnified Party receives any written notice of any Claim against or involving the Indemnified Party by any Person or otherwise discovers the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to notify or delay in notifying an Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.3 above, as applicable, except where such failure actually and materially harms the Indemnifying Party.

(b) With respect to the defense of any Claim against or involving an Indemnified Party in which any Person in question seeks only the recovery of a sum of money for which indemnification is provided in Section 5.2 or 5.3 above and subject to Section 4.2(h) hereof (that shall apply with respect to claims for Taxes), at its option an Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel of such defense any nationally recognized and reputable legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party), and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if: (i) the claim does not only seek the recovery of a sum of money; (ii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; (iii) the claim involves environmental matters in which case the Indemnified Party shall have sole control and management authority over the resolution of such claim (including hiring legal counsel and environmental consultants, conducting environmental investigations and cleanups, negotiating with governmental agencies and third parties and defending or settling claims and actions); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised of any major developments relating to any environmental claim; or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has not promptly acknowledged and admitted in writing to the Indemnified Party that all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, charges, suits, penalties, costs and expenses relating to such Claim are Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is solely liable pursuant hereto.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if: (i) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the hiring of such separate counsel by the Indemnified Party; or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party).

(d) The Indemnifying Party must obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which the Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold) prior to entering into any settlement of such Claim or ceasing to defend such Claim, provided, however, that any such settlement shall provide for the full and final release of all claims against each Indemnified Party.

5.5 Payment. Upon the determination of liability under Article V or otherwise between the Parties or by final judicial proceeding, the appropriate Party shall pay to the other, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder. Any such indemnification payments shall include interest at the Applicable Rate calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 360, from the date any such Loss is suffered or sustained to the date of payment. In the event that the Indemnified Party is not paid in full for any such claim pursuant to the foregoing provisions promptly after the other Party’s obligation to indemnify has been determined in accordance herewith, it shall have the right, notwithstanding any other rights that it may have against any other Person, to setoff the unpaid amount of any such claim against any amounts owed by it under any instrument or agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise or, if Seller is the Indemnifying Party, by setoff against amounts owed with respect to the Shares owned by Seller. Upon the payment in full of any claim, either by setoff or otherwise, the entity making payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

5.6 Indemnity Calculations.

The amount of indemnity payable under Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 shall be treated by Purchaser and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and shall be calculated giving effect to any proceeds actually received from insurance policies covering the Loss that is the subject of the claim for indemnity, net of any increase in premium as a result of such claim.

Re:

Kenny Rogers Roasters Master Development Agreement for the

United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, Qatar and Yemen

Gentlepersons:

Reference is made to the Master Development Agreement between NF Roasters Corporation (“we”, “us” and the like) and Toronto Foods International (“TFI”) dated March 2003 concerning the development, operation and franchising by TFI of “Kenny Rogers Roasters” restaurants in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, Qatar and Yemen (the “Master Franchise Agreement”).

In the normal course of reviewing our files, it has come to our attention that, despite TFI’s cessation of business activities under the Master Franchise Agreement, the Master Franchise Agreement has never been formally terminated.

Accordingly, so that we may close our files, this letter shall serve as formal notice of TFI’s default under Section 15.2.1 of the Master Franchise Agreement, as well as our election to terminate the Master Franchise Agreement effective upon your receipt hereof.

This letter is written without prejudice, waiver or limitation of any of our rights or remedies, at law or in equity, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.

Sincerely,

NF Roasters Corporation
