                  2. Waiver of Lease Extension.  Seller shall not be required to
obtain an extension  of the terms of the  respective  leases for the  Additional
Restaurants.

                  3. Closing Date. Section 13 of the Asset Purchase Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

                           The  closing  (the  "Closing")  under this  Agreement
                  shall take place at the offices of the  Buyer's  lender in New

                  4. Real Estate  Leases.  Notwithstanding  any provision of the
Asset Purchase  Agreement to the contrary,  the parties hereto  acknowledge  and
agree that the  execution and delivery of the Asset  Purchase  Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement do
not result in the assignment of all of the Leases and that Seller's right to use
and  possession  of the  Premises  subject to the  Leases,  save and except with
respect to eleven Restaurants, will be subleased to the Buyer in accordance with
the terms of the Master Sublease Agreement.

                  5.  Transition  Services  Agreement.  The parties hereby agree
that the Buyer and Seller will not enter into the Transition  Services Agreement
and that all  references  to the  Transition  Services  Agreement  in the  Asset
Purchase Agreement are hereby deleted.

                  6. Stock Pledge Agreement.  The parties hereby agree that they
shall not enter into the Stock Pledge  Agreement and that all  references to the
Stock Pledge Agreement in the Asset Purchase Agreement are hereby deleted.

                  7. Definitions.  Unless defined herein,  all capitalized terms
shall have the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

                  8. Effect of Amendment.  Except as expressly  amended pursuant
to this First Amendment, the Asset Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.

                  9. Waiver. The restriction on the sale, pledge,  transfer,  or
assignment  of  Restaurants  set forth in  Section  19.10 of the Asset  Purchase
Agreement is hereby waived.

Amendment as of the date first above written.
