("Land") on which each Property is located, together with all rights and
interests appurtenant thereto, including Seller's right, title, and interest in

other technical descriptions ("Plans and Specifications"), (ii) warranties

consideration for this Agreement and the Inspection Period, as hereinafter
defined. The Title Company shall immediately deliver the Non-Refundable Earnest
Money to Seller and the Non-Refundable Earnest Money shall be retained by Seller
in all events. In addition, the Buyer shall deposit $100,000.00 with Title

earned thereon) to the extent delivered to Seller and shall be adjusted as
described in this Agreement.

Property (the "Environmental Reports");

Property and Improvements.
5. Right of Entry, Inspection, Termination.
(a) From the date hereof to the Closing Date, Seller shall
afford Buyer and its representatives a continuing right to inspect, at
reasonable hours, the Properties, Documents, and all other documents or data
pertaining to the Properties. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless
from and against any loss, claim or liability arising or resulting from the
inspections made by Buyer. If for any reason Buyer is not satisfied with any
matter in the Documents or any matter in the information available to Buyer
concerning the Properties, Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion may
terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of its Earnest Money by delivering
written notice to Seller by the date twenty (20) days following the later of (i)
the date of this Agreement or (ii) receipt by Buyer of the Documents set forth
on 4(a) through 4(e) (hereafter the "Inspection Period").
(b) Buyer's failure to terminate this Agreement by delivering
the notice by the time called for in Section 5(a) shall terminate Buyer's right
to terminate this Agreement under that Section.
6. Title. Buyer shall have the right, at any time during the Inspection
Period, to object in writing to any matters reflected by the Survey or the Title
Commitment. All matters to which Buyer objects, or which are listed as
requirements by the Title Company to issue the title insurance policy, are
"Non-Permitted Encumbrances". All matters to which such objection is not made
are "Permitted Encumbrances". Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to cure or remove all Non-Permitted
Encumbrances prior to Closing. If Seller does not cause all of the Non-Permitted
Encumbrances to be removed or cured prior to Closing, then this Agreement shall
automatically terminate on the date scheduled for Closing unless Buyer delivers
notice to Seller of its election to purchase the Properties subject to the
uncured Non-Permitted Encumbrances without any reduction in the Purchase Price.
7. Representations and Warranties. Seller hereby represents and
warrants to, and covenants with Buyer that:
(a) Seller has the full right, power, and authority to
execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement, and this Agreement, when executed
and delivered by Seller and Buyer, shall constitute the valid and binding
agreement of Seller, and shall be enforceable against Seller in accordance with
its terms.
(b) All requisite action on the part of Seller has been taken
by Seller in connection with making and entering into this Agreement and the
consummation of the purchase and sale provided for herein, and no consents or
approvals are required from any party which is not a party to this Agreement in
order to consummate such purchase and sale.
3
<PAGE>
(c) No attachments, execution proceedings, assignments for the
benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other
proceedings are pending or, to the best of Seller's knowledge, threatened
against Seller, which would materially adversely affect the ability of Seller to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Seller has not received any written notice from
appropriate governmental authorities that any Property is in violation of any
applicable laws.
(e) Seller has not received any written notices from any
insurance company, board of fire underwriters or similar organization regarding
any defects in any Property.
(f) The Improvements and their use with respect to each
Property shall be in material compliance with all applicable zoning, building,
environmental, subdivision and other laws, rules, and regulations applicable
thereto, as well as any private restrictive covenants affecting each Property,
and shall be ready for use and occupancy, and all necessary certificates of
approval and occupancy shall have been issued and furnished by all authorities
having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the construction, use or occupancy
of the Improvements.
(g) Except for the Permitted Encumbrances, on the Closing
Date, Seller will convey to Buyer fee simple title to each Property free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances. Seller will convey
to Buyer good and marketable title to the Personal Property free and clear of
all liens, restrictions and encumbrances other than those set forth on Schedule
7(g). From the date hereof, and until the Closing or earlier termination of this
Agreement, Seller shall not sell, assign or create any right, title or interest
whatsoever in or to any Property or associated Personal Property or create any
liens, encumbrances or charge thereon without discharging the same at or prior
to the Closing Date.
(h) The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and will not
omit to state any fact or condition, the omission of which makes such statements
misleading.
(i) Except as disclosed on Schedule 7(i), Seller has no
knowledge of any litigation, or possible litigation, or of claims of any kind,
or of any facts or circumstances which may in any way adversely affect Seller or
any Property, including regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency and
any state regulatory body concerning the disposal of grease, hazardous waste,
petroleum, any underground storage tanks or any other hazardous materials.
(j) Seller has received no written notice of taking,
condemnation, betterment or assessment, actual or proposed, with respect to any
Property, except as may be disclosed on the Title Commitment.

<PAGE>
All representations and warranties made in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be made on the date hereof and again on the Closing Date. It
shall be a condition of Buyer's obligation to close that all warranties and
representations made hereunder are true in all material respects on the Closing
Date. All such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and
shall not be deemed to have merged into and be governed by the Closing Documents
for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date. If Buyer discovers
prior to Closing, that any representation or warranty made in this Agreement is
not true in all material respects, then Buyer shall have the right, as its sole
and exclusive remedies, to either (i) terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Section 13 by delivering notice to Seller prior to the Closing Date, or
(ii) elect to purchase the Properties subject to such untrue warranty or
representation without any reduction in the Purchase Price. If Buyer discovers
after Closing that any representation or warranty made in this Agreement is not
true in all material respects, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all
rights and remedies available at law or in equity as a result of any breach of
any of such representations or warranties, provided as a condition to Buyer's
right to do so, Buyer must exercise such remedies including the filing of any
suit or other action within two (2) years after the Closing Date.

Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by notifying Buyer thereof, in which case the Title Company shall
deliver the Earnest Money to Seller, whereupon neither party shall have any
further rights or obligations hereunder. Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and
agree they have included the provision for payment of liquidated damages
because, in the event of a breach by Buyer, the actual damages incurred by
Seller can reasonably be expected to approximate the amount of liquidated
damages called for, and because the actual amount of such damages would be
difficult if not impossible accurately to measure.
(b) If Seller fails to consummate the sale of the Properties
pursuant to this Agreement for any reason other than (i) termination hereof by
Buyer pursuant to Sections 5, 6, 7, or 12 or (ii) Buyer's failure to perform its
obligations hereunder, Buyer shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive
remedies, to either (x) terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller thereof, in
which case the Title Company shall deliver the Earnest Money to Buyer, whereupon
neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, or
(y) enforce specific performance of Seller's obligation hereunder.
(c) If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right
granted Buyer in Sections 5, 6, 7, 12, or 16 then the Title Company shall
deliver the Earnest Money to Buyer whereupon neither Buyer or Seller shall have
any further rights or obligations hereunder.
8
<PAGE>
14. Miscellaneous. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees with the other that
it has no present intention to make any public announcement of the purchase and
sale transaction contemplated hereby or of any of the terms thereof, and shall
obtain the written consent of the other party prior to making any public
announcement; provided, however, each party shall be entitled, without the
consent of the other party, to make any disclosure required by law. Both Seller
and Buyer shall cooperate with one another and in a timely manner execute all
documents reasonably required to give effect to the purchase and sale provided
for herein. To the extent available, Seller shall provide all documentation
reasonably requested by Buyer after Closing in order to comply with Buyer's
disclosure and filing requirements under applicable securities laws and shall
execute all reasonable consents in connection therewith. If any provision of
this Agreement is adjudicated by a court having jurisdiction over a dispute
arising herefrom to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions hereof.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of California. This Agreement is the entire agreement between Seller
and Buyer concerning the sale of the Properties and no modification hereof or
subsequent agreement relative to the subject matter hereof shall be binding on
either party unless reduced to writing and signed by the party to be bound. The
provisions of Sections 3, 7 (for the time period specified), 8, 10 and 14 shall
survive Closing. Exhibits A-G attached hereto are incorporated herein by this
reference for all purposes. Time is of the essence in the performance of each
and every provision of this Agreement. In the event that the last day for taking
any action or serving notice under this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, the time period shall be extended until the following business
day.
15. Bulk Sale Compliance. Buyer and Seller hereby waive compliance with
the notice provisions of any bulk sale statute in effect in the state in which
any Property is located.
16. Condition Precedent. Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this
Agreement and receive a refund of its Earnest Money if, on or before the Closing
Date, CS First Boston ("Lender"), the current holder of a first lien mortgage
against the Properties, does not extend financing to Buyer (i) in a principal
amount of not less than $17,000,000.00, (ii) at a 10.39% interest rate, (iii)
for a term of at least two (2) years, (iv) which provides for a partial release
of the mortgage lien against the Properties upon a loan prepayment equal to 125%
of the allocated value of the Property to be released from the mortgage lien,
(v) which caps the Lender's legal fees for which Buyer is responsible at
$50,000.00 and (vi) the documentation of such mortgage loan is reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer.
17. Date of Agreement. All references in this Agreement to "the date
hereof" or similar references shall be deemed to refer to the last date, in
point of time, on which all parties hereto have executed and received a fully
executed copy of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes an offer by Buyer to
purchase the Properties on the terms and conditions and for the Purchase Price
specified herein. Unless sooner terminated or withdrawn by notice in writing to
Seller, this offer shall lapse and terminate at the close of Buyer's business
day ten (10) days following execution of this Agreement by Buyer, unless, prior
to such time, Seller has returned to Buyer one (1) fully executed copy of this
Agreement.

INC., a Wisconsin corporation (collectively "Assignor") and HS REALTY PARTNERS,
LP, a ("Assignee")
RECITALS
A. Assignor and Assignee have entered into nineteen (19) Lease
Agreements dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated,
consolidated or supplemented from time to time) (collectively, the "Lease
Agreements"), pursuant to which Assignor has agreed to make an assignment of a
royalty-free license to use certain intellectual and intangible property to
Assignee.
B. Pursuant to the Lease Agreements, Assignee is leasing certain real

Agreements that Assignor execute and deliver this Assignment.

terms of each of which are specifically incorporated by reference herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which
by the parties hereto is hereby acknowledged, Assignor hereby assigns,
transfers, conveys and sets over unto Assignee an irrevocable royalty-free
license to use the Property (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the
operating standards required of Assignor's franchisees or licensees.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same unto Assignee, and its successors and
assigns forever, upon the terms and conditions and for the uses hereinafter set

As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

<PAGE>
(a) "Property" shall mean the trade names, trademarks, or
similar or related intellectual property owned by Assignor and necessary for
Assignee to continue to operate a restaurant under any of the Marks at any
Terminated Leased Property for the remaining term of the lease applicable to
each such Terminated Leased Property. Property also includes Tenant's liquor
license to the extent permitted by law.

Section 2. Certain Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

has not performed, and will not perform, any acts, and has not executed, and
will not execute, any instrument that would prevent Assignee from exercising its
rights under this Assignment.
Section 3. Deferred Exercise of Rights.
As part of the consideration for lease evidenced by the Lease
Agreement, Assignor does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to
Assignee a perpetual, royalty-free non-exclusive license in the Property, and
this Assignment constitutes a present and absolute assignment and is intended to
be unconditional and not as an assignment for additional security only. It is
further intended that it not be necessary for Assignee to institute legal
proceedings, absent any requirements of law or regulation to the contrary, to
enforce the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon notice from
Assignee to Assignor of an election by Assignee of the remedy under subparagraph
(b) of Section 17.2 the Lease Agreement, Assignee shall have a royalty-free
license, limited as provided in this Assignment and the Lease Agreement (i) to
use any of the Marks, or similar or related intellectual property owned by
Assignor and necessary for Assignee to continue to operate a restaurant using
such Mark at each of the Terminated Leased Properties for the remaining term of
the lease applicable to each such Terminated Leased Property, whether Assignor
or its affiliates are tenants under the Lease Agreements, or the Lease Agreement
has been assigned in accordance with the provisions thereof; and (ii) to use
Tenant's liquor license to the extent permitted by law.
Section 4. Effect on Rights Under Other Documents.
Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by
Assignee pursuant to the powers and rights granted it hereunder shall be deemed
to be a waiver by Assignee of its rights and remedies under the Lease Agreement,
and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights
and remedies possessed by Assignee under the terms of the Lease Agreement.
Section 5. Attorney-in-Fact.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an election by
Assignee of the remedy under subparagraph (b) of Section 17.2 the Lease
Agreement, Assignor hereby appoints Assignee the attorney-in-fact of Assignor to
take any action and execute any instruments that Assignor is obligated, or has
covenanted and agreed under the Lease Agreement to take or execute, which
appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
26
<PAGE>
Section 6. Termination.
Assignee, by the acceptance of this Assignment, agrees that unless an
election by Assignee of the remedy under subparagraph (b) of Section 17.2 the
Lease Agreement has occurred, upon termination of the Lease Agreement this
Assignment shall terminate, and Assignee shall execute and deliver to Assignor,
upon such termination such instruments of release, re-assignment and Uniform
Commercial Code termination statements, all without recourse and without any
representation or warranty whatsoever, as shall be reasonably requested by
Assignor.
Section 7. Expenses.
Assignor agrees to pay to Assignee all out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable expenses for attorneys' fees and costs of every kind) of,
or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Assignment or
performance by Assignee of any obligation of Assignor hereunder which Assignor
has failed or refused to perform.
Section 8. Further Assurances.
Assignor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of
Assignee, it will give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing
statements, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers and do such
other acts and things that may be necessary and desirable (in the reasonable
judgment of Assignee) to create, preserve, perfect or validate this Assignment,
to enable Assignee to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to
this Assignment or to otherwise carry out the purposes and intent of this
Assignment.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
(a) No failure on the part of Assignee or any of its agents to
exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising,
any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise by Assignee or any of its agents of any
right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(b) WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS RELATING TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION AND
PROCEDURES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT, THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN
WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF

and resort to every other right or remedy available at law or in equity, without
first exhausting and without affecting or impairing the security of any right or
remedy afforded hereby; and no such right or remedy set forth in this Assignment
