FACILITY USAGE
- --------------  

   The companies are not obliged to sign any documentation, fulfil any condition
   precedent or use the facilities. However Westpac is not obliged to provide
   the facilities until the Securities (defined in the section titled "SECURITY"
   below) have been executed and conditions precedent 

 
   (described in the section titled "CONDITIONS PRECEDENT") discharged in
   accordance with the terms of this letter.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
- -------------------

   This offer and the continued availability of facilities are subject to the
   following conditions:

   EXPIRY
   ------

       This offer is open for acceptance until it expires upon close of business
       on 31 August 1997 or such later date as Westpac may agree in writing and
       is subject to there not occurring between the date of this offer and the
       signing of documentation any event which, in the opinion of Westpac,
       might affect the value or acceptability of security offered to or held by
       Westpac or the ability of the Group to repay its facilities.

   REVIEW
   ------

       The continuation of facilities (and the terms and conditions of each
       facility), other than the Bill Facility and Revolving Lease Facility,  is
       subject to review at such times as Westpac shall consider appropriate.
       To determine whether facilities will continue to be extended Westpac must
       be supplied with:

       --     the Group's (on an individual and consolidated basis), audited
              balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the financial year
              ending 30 April 1997 (by 31 October 1997).

       --     Such other information on the financial condition and operations
              of the Group as Westpac may reasonably request from time to time.

       If Westpac does not receive this material by the date specified, Westpac
       may, after giving 30 days notice of its intention to do so, notify the
       Group that the facilities have been cancelled and require immediate
       repayment of all monies owing (actually or contingently) to it. The Group
       may  rectify any failure to provide Westpac with information during the
       30 day period.

   INCREASED COSTS
   ---------------

       If there is any change in, any making of, or any change in the
       interpretation or application of any law or any control, request or
       directive of the Reserve Bank of Australia or any other authority
       (including, without limitation, with respect to taxation, reserve,
       liquidity, capital adequacy, special deposit or similar requirements)
       Westpac reserves the right to vary any of the terms of the Group's
       facilities.

   WITHHOLDING TAX
   ---------------

       All payments made to Westpac are to be made net of any withholding tax
       payable thereon. The Group shall provide such evidence of the payment of
       this tax as may be reasonably requested by Westpac.

   CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
   -------------------

       The continuation of facilities will be subject to review if any one or
       more of the Group becomes the subsidiary of another company which is not
       a guarantor of the facilities, or there is otherwise a change of
       ownership or control of the Group, or any company giving security or
       comfort for the facilities extended.  Upon the occurrence of such an
       event, Westpac shall have the right to terminate the Group's facilities
       or vary any of the terms of those facilities.

 
   EXTERNAL ADMINISTRATION
   -----------------------

       The Group's facilities shall become immediately due and payable if:

       --     The Board of Directors of the Group resolves to appoint an
              Administrator or an Administrator is appointed to the Group
              pursuant to the provisions of the Corporations Law; or

       --     Any person becomes a Controller of any of the property of the
              Group for the purposes of the Corporations Law; or

       --     Any company within the Group resolves that it be wound up (except
              where Westpac otherwise consents for the purposes of solvent
              reconstruction); or

       --     A Liquidator or Provisional Liquidator is appointed to any company
              within the Group (except where Westpac otherwise consents for the
              purposes of solvent reconstruction); or

       --     An event which is analogous to any of the events described in the
              preceding paragraphs or which has a substantially similar effect
              occurs under any other law applicable to the Group.

   SHARE BUY BACK
   --------------

       The Group will not directly or indirectly acquire, or support the
       acquisition or proposed acquisition of either its/their own shares or
       shares in any other company which has a direct or indirect shareholding
       in it without Westpac's written consent.

       Breach of this undertaking will, at the option of Westpac, render all
       facilities payable in full forthwith.

   FACILITY REPAYABLE ON DEMAND
   ----------------------------

       Except for the Bill Facility and the Revolving Lease facility, these
       facilities are available at the discretion of Westpac.  Westpac may at
       any time (before the facilities mature) require the immediate payment by
       the Group of:

       --     All monies owing under the facilities.

       --     An amount equal to the face amount of all outstanding
              accommodation bills discounted accepted or endorsed by Westpac
              (notwithstanding that those bills have not yet matured).

       --     All monies which Westpac may become liable to pay to any other
              person under the facilities, including (without limiting the
              generality) monies which may become payable by Westpac under any
              guarantees, undertakings, letters of credit and/or forward
              exchange contracts which Westpac may have entered into at the
              request (express or implied) of the company.

       The Bill Facility agreement and the Revolving Floating Rate Master Lease
       Agreement (to be agreed between the Group and Westpac) will contain
       events of default applying to those facilities.

   PROPERTY VALUATIONS
   -------------------

       The continuation of facilities will be subject to revaluation of the
       freehold security property(ies) on a vacant possession basis and on a
       going concern basis by 30 April 2000 or before that date if in Westpac's
       opinion the value has diminished by not less than 10%.  Valuation is to
       be for mortgage security purposes and be attended to by a registered
       valuer acceptable to Westpac.

 
       Westpac reserves its rights to vary the terms and conditions of the
       facility(ies) if the valuation report discloses matters materially
       adverse to Westpac's security over the properties.

       All costs associated with the obtaining of valuation reports are for the
       account of the company.

JOINT FACILITIES:
- -----------------

   Where a facility is made available to more than one company on a joint basis
   (eg. the Bill Facility), each company shall be primarily liable for the
   amount drawn by it (whether jointly or severally).

   Subject to the terms of any guarantee given by it, it shall not be liable for
   amounts drawn by another company or interest and fees thereon unless those
   amounts are drawn jointly by that company and another company or companies.
   All such companies shall be jointly and severally liable for all other
   amounts owing under the relevant facility.

UTILISATION:
- ------------

   The facilities will be made available (upon completion of securities to
   Westpac's satisfaction and where appropriate, formal letters noting limit and
   agreements) as follows:

   BILL FACILITY
   -------------

       by individual bills for a fixed period ranging between 30 and 180 days
       (inclusive) each for a sum of:

       $100,000,
       $500,000, or
       $1,000,000 (or such other amount as the Group and Westpac may agree)

       Where Westpac is to discount the bills itself and is authorised by the
       Group to prepare those bills on the Group's behalf, Westpac may prepare
       one bill having a face amount equal to the aggregate amount of the bills
       referred to in the relevant drawdown notice.

       DRAWDOWN NOTICES MUST BE GIVEN

       Drawdown notices must be given at least 1 clear day (or such lesser time
       as Westpac may agree) before drawdown. That notice shall specify (among
       other things) the face value of the bills being discounted, the term for
       which they are to be discounted, which company is to issue them and the
       drawdown date for those bills. The Group may also request Westpac to
       prepare and sign those bills on its behalf.

       ONLY ONE COMPANY MAY HAVE BILLS OUTSTANDING AT ANY ONE TIME

       Westpac shall not be obliged to accept a drawdown notice from CFM or CFI
       if at any time during which the bills referred to in that notice are
       outstanding, bills drawn by the other company would be outstanding.

       The first bills drawn under the Bill Facility must be drawn pursuant to a
       drawdown notice issued by CFI. Subject to the following condition (marked
       "Switching") subsequent drawdown notices may be issued by either CFI or
       CFM.

 
       SWITCHING

       A "SWITCH" occurs when (subject to the foregoing restrictions) CFI ceases
       to draw bills and CFM commences drawing bills under the Bill Facility, or
       vice versa.

       The Group may not Switch if the last Switch was less than 12 months
       earlier.

   RISK MANAGEMENT LINE
   --------------------

       as required by the Group, but only for hedging discount amounts payable
       to Westpac under the Bill Facility. The expiry date for each "hedge" is
       to correspond to the day on which the relevant bills mature. Having
       regard to the repayment schedule, a "hedge" may be taken out in
       anticipation of bills being drawn some time in the future.

   REVOLVING LEASE FACILITY
   ------------------------

       by individual leases negotiated between the Group and Westpac.

       Each lease shall only be granted to one of the companies on whose account
       the facility has been extended. The aggregate amount outstanding under
       all leases granted to CFI, CFM and Sizzler must not exceed the Revolving
       Lease Facility Limit

       Each lease shall be subject to the terms of a master lease agreement and
       be for a term of not more than 5 years.

   BANK GUARANTEE FACILITY
   -----------------------

       by individual undertakings issued by Westpac, negotiated between the
       Group and Westpac. The Group is to give  Westpac an indemnity for each
       undertaking issued by it.

   TNA
   ---

       as required by the Group.

   CHEQUE CASHING AUTHORITIES

   REDUCTIONS
   ----------

   The Bill Facility Limit shall be reduced by:

       (i)   $1,500,000 on 31 December 1997;
       (ii)  $1,500,000 on 30 March 1998;
       (iii) $2,000,000 on the last business day of each quarter thereafter,
             commencing 30 June 1998;

       PROVIDED that Westpac shall give CFI and CFM 60 days to remedy a failure
       to pay an amount due on the date of a Scheduled Reduction if the
       following conditions exist:
       (1)   Westpac is satisfied that on the date of a Scheduled Reduction CFI
             does not have credit working funds available to it of more than
             $4,000,000 after making the deductions set out in sub-paragraphs
             (b)(i) a) to d) below; and
       (2)   The total amount of Scheduled Reductions and Asset Based Reductions
             paid by CFI and CFM are not less than an amount being 125% of the
             Scheduled Reductions due in accordance with the following formulae:

 
             a) During the first year of the Bill Facility in relation to the
                third and fourth Scheduled Reductions only, where the total
                amount paid in reductions by CFI and CFM to Westpac is not less
                than 125% of the sum of the previous Scheduled Reductions; and
             b) During each subsequent year where the total amount paid in
                reductions by CFI and CFM to Westpac over the previous 365 days
                (not counting the Scheduled Reduction due on the corresponding
                day of the previous calendar year and reductions whose due date
                for payment fell more than 365 days ago) is not less than 125%
                of the sum of the first three Scheduled Reductions falling due
                in that period

       AND PROVIDED that:
       (1)   CFI or CFM shall make payment of such part of the relevant
             Scheduled Reduction as is equal to the "excess" referred to in sub-
             paragraph (b)(i) below after adding back the reduction referred to
             in sub-paragraph (b)(i)a) on the due date of that Scheduled
             Reduction; and
       (2)   the unpaid amount or part of any Scheduled Reduction shall attract
             the same rate of interest as any amount due and owing but unpaid to
             Westpac under the terms of the Bill Facility agreement.

   (b) (ASSET BASED REDUCTIONS):
       (i)    an amount agreed between CFI and Westpac equal to credit funds
              held in excess of $4,000,000 after making the following
              deductions:
              a) a reduction, referred to in paragraph (a) above, which falls
                 due on the same day as this reduction;
              b) anticipated tax payments during the following quarter;
              c) capital expenditure due in the following quarter and consented
                 to by Westpac; and
              d) unpresented cheques forwarded to external trade creditors
                 (including KFC Australia Pty Ltd) during that quarter

              on the last business day of the relevant quarter on the business
              day following that quarter and commencing 31 December 1997. (The
              procedure for determining this amount is described below.)

       (ii)   an amount equal to:
              a) 50% of the proceeds from the sale (other than a sale for the
                 purpose of a sale and leaseback) of unprofitable Sizzler stores
                 received before 30 April 1998; and
              b) 75% of the proceeds of any other asset sales
              on the day the settlement proceeds are received by the Group.

              However if the day upon which settlement proceeds are received by
              the Group does not coincide with a bill rollover date the Bill
              Facility Limit reduction shall take place on the first bill
              rollover date occurring after that provided that the proceeds of
              sale have been deposited with Westpac in a specially nominated
              account over which Westpac has an immediate right of set-off and
              appropriation.

   CANCELLATION
   ------------

       frequently advertised in major news publications.

       Interest on overdrawn accounts and loan accounts is calculated on daily
       balances and is payable on the full amount from time to time owing by you
       in such accounts.  Interest may be debited by Westpac to those accounts

       time determine and on the basis that interest so debited shall itself
       carry interest from date of debiting.

   time in accordance with the terms set out herein.
