conditions are based upon our review of information provided to us to date and
are subject to change if further information provided to Bank of America, N.A.

The following will be sought with respect to the amendment to the Facility:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Acquisition Consent for Rainforest Cafe, Inc.: A one-time consent under
   ---------------------------------------------
   Section 7.11 (a) (Acquisitions) to permit the Borrower's acquisition of 100%
   -------------------------------
   of the stock of Rainforest Cafe, Inc. (the "Target") in an amount not to
   exceed $86 million. Such amount is before $15 million of cash held by the
   Target that is to be used by the Borrower upon closing of the acquisition.
   Further, such amount includes near term severance costs, cash payouts for
   options and other transaction costs, but excludes reserves for store closures
   and future severance costs (as further described below).

   For clarification, the Borrower will establish in connection with the
   purchase accounting for the acquisition an additional store closure reserve
   in the amount of up to $18 million and a severance reserve of up to $7
   million. Expenses or charges related to the Target, if any, which exceed
   these amounts would be deducted from Consolidated EBITDA for covenant
   calculation purposes.
