                      TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT RESTAURANT CORP.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        Total Entertainment  Restaurant Corp. (the "Company") was organized as a
Delaware  corporation  on  February  7,  1997,  for the  purpose  of  developing
entertainment  restaurant  locations.  Effective  February 20, 1997, the Company
entered into simultaneous securities exchange transactions pursuant to which the
Company issued an aggregate 8,000,000 shares of its common stock, $.01 par value
per share (the "Common  Stock"),  in exchange for all of the outstanding  common
stock of each of Bailey's  Sports  Grille,  Inc., F&H  Restaurant  Corp.,  Fox &
Hound,  Inc. and Fox & Hound II, Inc. and the remaining 25% minority interest in
each of 505 Entertainment,  Ltd., F&H Dallas, L.P., Midway  Entertainment,  Ltd.
and N. Collins  Entertainment,  Ltd. (the "Exchange").  For further  information
regarding  the Exchange,  reference is made to the  Company's  Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended  December  30,  1997.  The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated
statements  of income for the  thirty-six  weeks  ended  September  9, 1997 give
effect to the Exchange as if such transactions occurred on January 1, 1997.

        The unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have been
prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission.   The  information   furnished  herein  reflects  all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management,  necessary to fairly present the operating results
for  the  respective  periods.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures
normally  presented in annual financial  statements  prepared in accordance with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been omitted  pursuant to such
rules and regulations.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited  consolidated  financial  statements in its 1997 Form
10-K.  The  results of the  thirty-six  weeks  ended  September  8, 1998 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full year ending
December 29, 1998.

2.      STOCK OPTIONS

        During the thirty-six  week period ended  September 8, 1998, the Company
granted to certain key  employees  stock  options  for 118,579  shares of Common
Stock at exercise  prices  ranging from $3.00 to $7.00 per share pursuant to its
1997 Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.

3.       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        As of December 31, 1997, the Company  adopted  Statement 130,  Reporting
Comprehensive Income.  Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and
display of  comprehensive  income and its components;  however,  the adoption of
this  Statement  had no  impact on the  Company's  net  income or  stockholders'
equity.  The  Company has no items of other  comprehensive  income in any period
presented.

        The Accounting  Standards  Executive Committee recently issued Statement
of Position 98-5, Reporting on Costs of Start-Up Activities,  which will require
the Company to expense  preopening  costs,  including  organizational  costs, as
incurred and to report the initial  adoption as a cumulative  effect of a change
in accounting principle as described in APBO No. 20, Accounting Changes,  during
the first quarter of its fiscal year 1999. The  cumulative  effect upon adoption
would  result in a one-time  charge to income in an amount equal to the net book
value of the Company's  preopening  costs. A resulting benefit of this change is
the discontinuance of amortization expense in subsequent periods.

                      TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT RESTAURANT CORP.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

        The Company  began  operations  February 20, 1997 with three Fox & Hound
and eight Bailey's entertainment  restaurant locations. The Company opened three
Fox & Hound and two Bailey's  locations during the period from February 20, 1997
to December 29, 1997 and seven Fox & Hound locations during the thirty-six weeks
ended September 8, 1998, and currently  operates ten Bailey's units and 13 Fox &
Hound units located in Alabama,  Arkansas,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa, Missouri,
Nebraska,  North Carolina,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  South Carolina,  Tennessee and
Texas.

        The  components of the  Company's  net sales are food and  non-alcoholic
beverages,  alcoholic beverages, and entertainment and other. For the thirty-six
weeks ended  September 8, 1998, food and  non-alcoholic  beverages were 30.5% of
total sales, alcoholic beverages were 55.4% of total sales and entertainment and
other were 14.1% of total sales.

        Components of restaurant  operating  expenses include  operating payroll
and fringe  benefits,  occupancy,  advertising  and  promotion.  These costs are
generally  variable  and will  fluctuate  with changes in sales volume and sales
mix. All but one of the Company's locations are leased and provide for a minimum
annual rent,  with some leases calling for additional rent based on sales volume
at the particular location of specified minimum levels.

        Pre-opening  costs  include  labor  costs,  costs of hiring and training
personnel and certain other costs relating to opening new  restaurants,  and are
capitalized  and amortized  over a twelve month period,  beginning in the period
the restaurants open.

        General  and   administrative   expenses   include  all   corporate  and
administrative  functions  that  support  existing  operations  and  provide  an
infrastructure  to support  future  growth.  In  addition,  certain  expenses of
recruiting and training unit management personnel are also included. Management,
supervisory and staff salaries,  employee benefits, travel, information systems,
training, rent and office supplies as well as accounting services fees are major
items of costs in this category.

TWELVE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 8, 1998 COMPARED TO TWELVE WEEKS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 9, 1997

        Net sales  increased  $3,243,000  (88.2%)  for the  twelve  weeks  ended
September  8, 1998 to  $6,922,000  from  $3,679,000  for the twelve  weeks ended
September 9, 1997,  which is principally  attributable to sales from the ten new
locations  opened since  September  1997. Same store sales increased 1.4% in the
twelve  weeks  ended  September  8, 1998  compared  to the  twelve  weeks  ended
September 9, 1997.

        Costs of sales,  primarily food and beverages increased $955,000 (98.7%)
for the twelve weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to $1,922,000 from $967,000 in the
twelve weeks ended  September 9, 1997,  and  increased as a percentage  of sales
from 26.3% to 27.8%.  This increase is  attributable  to an increase in the food
sales  mix,  which  has a  higher  cost  of  sales  compared  to  beverages  and
entertainment.

        Restaurant  operating  expenses  increased  $1,767,000  (107.2%) for the
twelve weeks ended September 8, 1998 to $3,415,000 from $1,648,000 in the twelve
weeks ended  September 9, 1997,  and increased as a percentage of net sales from
44.8% to 49.3%.  Most of this  increase is  attributable  to higher  labor costs
resulting  from the  increase in food sales mix,  which has a higher  labor cost
compared  to  beverages  and  entertainment,  incremental  labor in the five new
locations opened during the twelve weeks ended September 8, 1998, increased cost
of live entertainment, higher utility costs due to the unseasonably warm weather
and higher maintenance costs.

        Depreciation and amortization increased $365,000 (150.2%) for the twelve
weeks ended  September  8, 1998 to $608,000  from  $243,000 in the twelve  weeks
ended  September 9, 1997,  and  increased as a percentage  of sales from 6.6% to
8.8%.  This increase is due  principally to the  depreciation  and  amortization
relating to the opening of ten new restaurants since September 1997.

        General and  administrative  expenses increased $149,000 (36.2%) for the
twelve  weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to $560,000  from  $411,000 in the twelve
weeks ended September 9, 1997, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 11.2%
to 8.1%. This increase reflects the additional corporate infrastructure added to
enable the Company to rapidly develop  additional  units and operate as a public
company.  Certain  accounting and  administrative  services are contracted  from
Coulter Enterprises, Inc., a restaurant management services company owned by the
Company's  Chairman of the Board. The service  agreement  provides for specified
accounting  and  administrative  services to be provided on a cost  pass-through
basis.  For  fiscal  1998,  the fixed  annual  charge is  $194,500,  plus and an
additional fee of $466 per restaurant per 28-day accounting period.

        On October 19, 1998, Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon,  Inc. ("Lone Star"),
a restaurant company of which Mr. Coulter is chairman and CEO, purchased certain
assets and assumed certain  liabilities of CEI,  including the current  services
agreement with the Company.  Subsequent to October 19, 1998,  such services will
be provided by Lone Star.

        Other income,  principally  interest,  decreased $36,000 (86.9%) for the
twelve weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to $5,000 from $41,000 in the twelve weeks
ended  September 9, 1997. The interest was earned from the investment of the net
proceeds of the initial public offering of the Company,  which commenced on July
17, 1997 (the  "Initial  Public  Offering").  The  decrease  in interest  earned
resulted from the utilization of the proceeds to develop additional locations.

                                      - 9 -

        Interest  expense  decreased  $83,000 (89.9%) for the twelve weeks ended
September 8, 1998 to $9,000 from $92,000 in the twelve weeks ended  September 9,
1997. This decrease  reflects the repayment of all debt outstanding  immediately
following the Initial Public Offering.

        The  effective  income tax rate for the twelve weeks ended  September 8,
1998 was 37.0% and the  effective  income  tax rate for the twelve  weeks  ended
September 9, 1997 was 37.5%.  This  decrease was  primarily due to the impact of
tax exempt  interest  income earned  during the twelve weeks ended  September 8,
1998.


THIRTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 8, 1998 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA  INFORMATION FOR
THE THIRTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1997

        Net sales increased  $7,644,000  (65.0%) for the thirty-six  weeks ended
September 8, 1998 to $19,400,000 from $11,756,000 for the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 1997,  which is principally  attributable to sales from the ten new
locations  opened since  September  1997. Same store sales decreased 0.2% in the
thirty-six  weeks ended September 8, 1998 compared to the thirty-six weeks ended
September 9, 1997.

        Costs of  sales,  primarily  food  and  beverages  increased  $2,134,000
(68.9%) for the  thirty-six  weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to  $5,232,000  from
$3,098,000 in the thirty-six  weeks ended  September 9, 1997, and increased as a
percentage  of sales from 26.4% to 27.0%.  This increase is  attributable  to an
increase  in the food sales mix,  which has a higher  cost of sales  compared to
beverages and entertainment.

        Restaurant  operating  expenses  increased  $3,560,000  (67.1%)  for the
thirty-six  weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to $8,865,000  from $5,305,000 in the
thirty-six  weeks ended  September 9, 1997, and increased as a percentage of net
sales from 45.1% to 45.6%. Most of this increase is attributable to higher labor
costs  resulting  from the increase in food sales mix,  which has a higher labor
cost  compared to beverages  and  entertainment,  and  incremental  labor in the
initial weeks of the new locations.

        Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  $855,000  (120.8%)  for  the
thirty-six  weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to  $1,562,000  from  $707,000 in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 1997, and increased as a percentage of sales
from 6.0% to 8.1%.  This increase is due  principally  to the  depreciation  and
amortization  relating to the  opening of ten new  restaurants  since  September
1997.

        General and  administrative  expenses increased $334,000 (24.8%) for the
thirty-six  weeks ended  September 8, 1998 to $1,680,000  from $1,346,000 in the
thirty-six weeks ended September 9, 1997, and decreased as a percentage of sales
from  11.5%  to  8.7%.   This  increase   reflects  the   additional   corporate
infrastructure  added to enable the Company to rapidly develop  additional units
and operate as a public company.  

        Other income,  principally  interest,  increased $30,000 (72.0%) for the
thirty-six  weeks  ended  September  8,  1998 to  $71,000  from  $41,000  in the
thirty-six  weeks ended  September  9, 1997.  The  interest  was earned from the
investment of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering.

        Interest  expense  decreased  $490,000  (98.1%) for the thirty-six weeks
ended  September 8, 1998 to $9,000 from $499,000 in the  thirty-six  weeks ended
September 9, 1997. This decrease  reflects the repayment of all debt outstanding
immediately following the Initial Public Offering.

        The effective  income tax rate for the thirty-six  weeks ended September
8, 1998 was 37.0% and the  effective  income tax rate for the  thirty-six  weeks
ended September 9, 1997 was 37.5%. This decrease was primarily due to the impact
of tax exempt interest income earned during the thirty-six weeks ended September
8, 1998.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

        The primary  inflationary  factors  affecting the  Company's  operations
include food,  liquor and labor costs.  Although a large number of the Company's
restaurant personnel are paid at the federal minimum wage level, the majority of
personnel are tipped employees, and therefore,  recent as well as future minimum
wage changes will have very little  effect on labor costs.  As costs of food and
labor have  increased,  the Company has  historically  been able to offset these
increases through economies of scale and improved operating procedures. To date,
inflation has not had a material impact on operating margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Cash flows from operations were $2,324,000 and purchases of property and
equipment were  $9,214,000 for the  thirty-six  week period ending  September 8,
1998.
        At  September  8,  1998,  the  Company  had  $101,000  in cash  and cash
equivalents.  The Company intends to open fifteen to seventeen locations in 1998
(seven of which were opened during the thirty-six  week period ending  September
8, 1998 and two of which have been opened since September 8, 1998).  Eight units
are currently under construction, and leases have been signed on four additional
sites. The Company  anticipates opening units on four to six leased sites in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company's development plans beyond these units
will be contingent  upon  maintaining  certain debt to equity levels approved by
the Company's  Board of Directors and no  commitments  for  additional  units in
fiscal 1999 have been made. The Company  expects to expend  approximately  $10.0
million to open the eight new units  through the  remainder of fiscal  1998.  In
order to fund new unit  development,  the Company has entered into a $20 million
line of credit with Intrust Bank, N.A. (the "Intrust Line").

        The Company  believes its cash flow from  operations and funds available
from the Intrust  Line will be  sufficient  to satisfy  its working  capital and
capital expenditure  requirements for at least the next twelve months. There can
be no assurance,  however,  that changes in the Company's  operating  plans, the
acceleration or modification of the Company's expansion plans as outlined above,
lower than anticipated revenues,  increased expenses,  potential acquisitions or
other events will not cause the Company to seek additional financing sooner than
anticipated. There can be no assurance additional financing will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This  report  contains  certain  forward-looking  statements  within the
meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and Section

cautioned that all  forward-looking  statements  involve risks and  uncertainty,
including  without   limitation,   the  ability  of  the  Company  to  open  new
restaurants,  general market conditions,  competition and pricing.  Although the
Company  believes the  assumptions  underlying  the  forward-looking  statements
contained  herein are reasonable,  any of the  assumptions  could be inaccurate,
and,  therefore,  there  can  be no  assurance  the  forward-looking  statements
contained in the report will prove to be accurate.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131  "Disclosures  about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related  Information." SFAS No. 131 requires disclosures of
certain  information  about operating  segments and about products and services,
geographic areas in which the Company operates, and their major customers.  This
Statement is effective  for Financial  Statements  for periods  beginning  after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application,  comparative  information
for earlier  years is to be  presented.  This  Statement  need not be applied to
interim  periods  in the  initial  year  of  its  application,  but  comparative
information  for interim  periods in the initial  year of  application  is to be
reported  in  Financial  Statements  for  interim  periods in the second year of
application.

        In June 1998,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 133  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 defines derivative instruments
and requires  that these items be  recognized  as assets or  liabilities  in the
statement of financial  position.  This  Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. As of September 8, 1998 the Company does not have
any derivative instruments.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

        Many software  applications and operational programs written in the past
were not designed to recognize  calendar  dates  beginning in the Year 2000. The
failure  of such  applications  or  systems  to  properly  recognize  the  dates
beginning in the Year 2000 could result in  miscalculations  or system  failures
which could result in an adverse effect on the Company's operations.

        The Company has  instituted  a Year 2000 project to prepare its computer
systems  and  communication  systems  for the Year 2000.  The  project  includes
identification and assessment of all software, hardware and equipment that could
potentially  be affected by the Year 2000 issue and remedial  action and further
testing,  if  necessary.  The Company  believes  that the  majority of its major
systems are Year 2000 compliant and costs to transition the remaining systems to
Year  2000  compliance  are not  anticipated  to have a  material  effect on the
Company's  financial  position  or results of  operations.  

        The  Company is also  contacting  critical  suppliers  of  products  and
services to determine  the extent to which the Company may be vulnerable to such
parties failure to resolve their own Year 2000 issues.  Where  practicable,  the
Company  will  assess and  attempt  to  mitigate  its risks with  respect to the
failure of these  entities  to be Year 2000 ready.  The  effect,  if any, on the
Company's results of operations from the failure of such parties to be Year 2000
ready is not reasonably estimable.

Indebtedness to Bank,  Borrower and Guarantor hereby pledge,  assign and grant a
first  security  interest in favor of Bank in the  Collateral  of  Borrower  and
Guarantor.  It is  acknowledged  that  Borrower  may  from  time  to  time  form
additional Subsidiaries for the purpose of operating additional locations.  From
the date of  formation  of such new  Subsidiary,  it shall be deemed a Guarantor
hereunder, subject to the terms and condition of this Agreement. Borrower agrees
to promptly notify Bank of the formation of any new Subsidiary and to cause such
Subsidiary  to deliver to Bank an  unlimited  guaranty of the  Indebtedness  and
other Loan Documents reasonably requested by Bank to grant and perfect in Bank a
first and prior security interest in the Collateral held by such new Subsidiary.

the first day of each month to  National  Prime Rate as of such date less %. The
Renewal Note shall  provide for equal  installments  of  principal  and interest
commencing on November 1, 2001 and continuing each month thereafter as necessary
to fully  amortize the  Indebtedness  plus future  interest  over the term. As a
precondition  of such  renewal,  Borrower  and  Guarantor  agree to execute  and
deliver to Bank such  additional  documents as may be required by Bank to grant,
continue or perfect Bank's  interest in the  Collateral,  as it may exist at the
time of such renewal.

pursuant to the terms of such note, or any other indebtedness which Borrower may
have with Bank in the future,  shall be subject to the terms of this  Agreement.
Except as expressly set forth  herein,  Bank is

                             Borrower  and   Guarantor   hereby   represent  and

outstanding, continuously represents and warrants as follows:

                             Section   3.1.   LEGAL   STATUS.   Borrower   is  a

jurisdictions in which it conducts its business.

                             Section   3.2.   NO   VIOLATION.   The  making  and
performance  by Borrower and  Guarantor of this  Agreement  does not violate any
provision  of law,  or result in a breach  of, or  constitute  a default  under,
Borrower's or  Guarantor's  articles of  incorporation  and bylaws,  or any Loan
Documents,  agreement,  indenture  or  other  instrument  to which  Borrower  or
Guarantor may be a party or by which it may be bound.

                             Section  3.3.  LITIGATION.  There are no pending or
threatened  actions or  proceedings  before any court or  administrative  agency
against  Borrower or any Guarantor  which would have a material  adverse  effect
upon the  financial  condition  or  results of  operations  of  Borrower  or any
Guarantor other than those heretofore disclosed to Bank in writing.

                             Section 3.4.  CORRECTNESS OF FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS.
The financial statements  heretofore and hereafter delivered by Borrower to Bank
present fairly the financial condition of Borrower, consolidated with Guarantor,
and  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  consistently  applied.  As  of  the  date  of  each  such  financial
statement, and since such date, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial  condition or results of operations of Borrower or Guarantor,  nor has
Borrower or Guarantor  mortgaged,  pledged or granted a security interest in, or
encumbered, any assets or properties since such date.

                             Section 3.5. AUTHORIZATION. The Loan Documents have
been duly  authorized,  executed and delivered by Borrower and Guarantor and are
the legal, valid and binding  obligations of Borrower and Guarantor  enforceable
in  accordance  with their  respective  terms except as rights to indemnity  and
contribution  contained in the Loan  Documents may be limited by applicable  law
and  except  as  enforceability  may  be  limited  by  bankruptcy,   insolvency,
moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors' rights.

                             Section 3.6. NO  SUBORDINATION.  The obligations of
Borrower and  Guarantor  under this  Agreement and the Loan  Documents,  are not
subordinated  in right of  payment  or in lien  priority  to any  obligation  of
Borrower or Guarantor.

                             Section 3.7. PERMITS,  FRANCHISES.  The Borrower or
Guarantor,  as  applicable,  now  possesses,  and will  hereafter  possess,  all
Licenses and Permits and Trademark Licenses, except where the failure to possess
such  Licenses  and Permits  and  Trademark  Licenses  would not have a material
adverse  effect upon the  financial  condition or results of  operations  of the
Borrower or any Guarantor.

                             Section 3.8. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT. Borrower and each
Guarantor has:

                             (a) Undertaken a detailed  inventory,  review,  and
assessment  of all areas  within  its  business  and  operations  that  could be
materially adversely affected by the failure of Borrower or Guarantor to be Year
2000 Compliant on a timely basis;

                             (b) Developed a plan and timeline for becoming Year
2000 Compliant on a timely basis; and

                             (c) To date,  implemented in all material  respects
that plan in accordance with that timetable, except to the extent that a failure
to do so could not  reasonably be expected to have a material  adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of Borrower or any Guarantor.

Borrower  and  Guarantor  reasonably  anticipate  that  they  will be Year  2000
Compliant on a timely basis.  Borrower and Guarantor plan to make timely written
inquiry of each of their key  suppliers,  vendors,  and  customers as to whether
such persons  will, on a timely  basis,  be Year 2000  Compliant in all material
respects and on the basis of such inquiry  believe that all such persons will be
so compliant.  For the purposes hereof, "Year 2000 Compliant" means, with regard
to any entity,  that all software,  embedded  microchips,  and other  processing
capabilities  utilized by, and material to the business  operations or financial
condition  of,  such entity are able to  interpret  and  manipulate  data on and
involving all calendar dates  correctly and without  causing any abnormal ending
scenario,  including  in  relation  to dates in and  after  the Year  2000.  For
purposes  hereof,  "key  suppliers,  vendors  and  customers"  refers  to  those
suppliers, vendors and customers of Borrower or Guarantor whose business failure
would, with reasonable  probability,  result in a material adverse change in the
business,  properties,  condition  (financial  or  otherwise),  or  prospects of
Borrower or Guarantor.

rights under Section 7.3 herein; or

                             (e)  The  failure  of  Borrower  or   Guarantor  to

of the following shall constitute an additional Event of Default:

                             (a)  If  Bank   receives  its  first  notice  of  a
hazardous discharge or environmental complaint from a source other than Borrower

provided  same is  followed  with all due  dispatch by written  notice  given by
Certified  Mail,  Return  Receipt  Requested)  of such  hazardous  discharge  or
environmental  complaint from Borrower or Guarantor within seven (7) days of the
time Bank first  receives  said  notice  from a source  other than  Borrower  or

occurrence of a hazardous discharge or environmental complaint; or

                             (c) If any federal, state or local agency asserts a
claim  against  Borrower or Guarantor  and/or its assets,  equipment,  property,
leaseholds or other facilities for damages or 

                                       12
<PAGE>

cleanup  costs in  excess  of  $50,000  relating  to a  hazardous  discharge  or
environmental complaint;  provided,  however, such claim shall not constitute an
Event of Default if, within ten (10) business days of the occurrence giving rise
to the claim;

                             (i) Borrower or Guarantor can demonstrate to Bank's
satisfaction that Borrower or Guarantor has commenced and is diligently pursuing
either:  (1) a cure or correction of the event which  constitutes  the basis for
the  claim,  and  continues  diligently  to pursue  such cure or  correction  to
completion or (2)  proceedings for an injunction,  a restraining  order or other
appropriate  emergent  relief  preventing such agency or agencies from asserting
such  claim,  which  relief is  granted  within  ten (10)  business  days of the
occurrence  giving  rise to the claim  and the  injunction,  order or  emergency
relief is not thereafter resolved or reversed on appeal; and

                             (ii) In either of the foregoing events, Borrower or
Guarantor has posted a bond, letter of credit or other security  satisfactory in
form,  substance and amount to both Bank and the agency or entity  asserting the
claim to secure the correction of the event which  constitutes the basis for the
claim.

                             Section 7.3.  ACCELERATION.  If an Event of Default
shall occur,  any indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement or any Note, any
term of such Note to the contrary  notwithstanding,  shall, at Bank's option and
without notice become immediately due and payable without presentment, notice or
demand, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and Guarantor;  and
the obligation, if any, of the Bank to permit further borrowings hereunder shall
immediately cease and terminate.

BORROWER:   TENT FINANCE, INC. &       LENDER:      INTRUST Bank, N.A
            TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT                     P.O. Box One
            RESTAURANT CORP.                        105 N. Main

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $20,000,000.00 INITIAL RATE: 8.000% DATE OF NOTE: September 1,
1998

PROMISE TO PAY.  TENT Finance,  Inc. and Total  Entertainment  Restaurant  Corp.
("Borrower")  promises to pay to INTRUST Bank,  N.A.  ("Lender"),  or order,  in
lawful money of the United  States of America,  the  principal  amount of Twenty
Million  & 00/100  Dollars  ($20,000,000.00)  or so much as may be  outstanding,
together  with  interest  on the unpaid  outstanding  principal  balance of each
advance.  Interest  shall be  calculated  from the  date of each  advance  until
repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal
plus all accrued unpaid interest on October 1, 2001. In addition,  Borrower will
pay regular  monthly  payments of accrued unpaid interest  beginning  October 1,
1998, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of each month
after  that.  The annual  interest  rate for this Note is  computed on a 365/360
basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of
360 days,  multiplied by the outstanding  principal  balance,  multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal  balance is  outstanding.  Borrower will pay
Lender at  Lender's  address  shown  above or at such other  place as Lender may
designate in writing.  Unless  otherwise  agreed or required by applicable  law,
payments will be applied first to accrued  unpaid  interest,  then to principal,
and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal  Southwestern  Edition (the  "Index").  The
Index is not  necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the
Index becomes  unavailable  during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a
substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current
Index rate upon Borrower's  request.  Borrower  understands that Lender may make
loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will not occur more
often than each month on the first day of the month  following the change of the
index.  The Index  currently  is a 8.500% per  annum.  The  interest  rate to be
applied to the unpaid principal  balance of this Note will be at a rate of 0.500
percentage  points  under the Index,  resulting in an initial rate of 8.000% per
annum.  NOTICE:  Under no  circumstances  will the interest rate on this Note be
more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed
earlier than it is due. Early  payments will not,  unless agreed to by Lender in
writing,  relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments
of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due.

LATE  CHARGE.  If a payment  is 10 days or more late,  Borrower  will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid  portion of the  regularly  scheduled  payment or  $100.00,
whichever is less.

DEFAULT.  Borrower  will be in  default  if any of the  following  happens:  (a)
Borrower  fails to make any payment when due.  (b)  Borrower  breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when
due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Note or
any agreement  related to this Note, or in any other  agreement or loan Borrower
has with Lender. (c) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender
by Borrower  or on  Borrower's  behalf is false or  misleading  in any  material
respect  either  now or at the time  made or  furnished.  (d)  Borrower  becomes
insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part


<PAGE>


of  Borrower's  property,  Borrower  makes  an  assignment  for the  benefit  of
creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower
under any  bankruptcy or insolvency  laws. (e) Any creditor tries to take any of
Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest.  This
includes a  garnishment  of any of  Borrower's  accounts  with  Lender.  (f) Any
guarantor  dies or any of the other events  described  in this  default  section
occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note. (g) A material adverse change
occurs in Borrower's  financial  condition,  or Lender  believes the prospect of
payment or performance of the indebtedness is impaired. (h) Lender in good faith
deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS.  Upon default,  Lender may declare the entire unpaid balance of
this Note and all accrued unpaid interest  immediately due, without notice,  and
then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon default,  including failure to pay upon
final maturity,  Lender, at its option,  may also, if permitted under applicable
law, increase the variable  interest rate of this Note 5.000 percentage  points.
The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable  law.
Lender may hire or pay someone else who is not a salaried  employee of Lender to
help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will be liable for all
reasonable  costs  incurred in the  collection  of this Note,  including but not
limited to, court costs,  attorneys'  fees, and collection  agency fees,  except
that such costs of collection  shall not include the recovery of both attorneys'
fees and  collection  agency  fees.  This Note has been  delivered to Lender and
accepted  by Lender  in the State of  Kansas.  If there is a  lawsuit,  Borrower
agrees upon Lender's  request to submit to the  jurisdiction of Sedgwick County,
the State of Kansas.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Kansas.

DISHONORED  ITEM FEE.  Borrower  will pay a fee to Lender of $20.00 if  Borrower
makes a payment on Borrower's  loan and the check or  preauthorized  charge with
which Borrower pays is later dishonored.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  Borrower grants to Lender a contractual  security interest in,
and hereby  assigns,  conveys,  delivers,  pledges,  and transfers to Lender all
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's  accounts with Lender
(whether checking, savings, or some other account), including without limitation
all accounts  held jointly with someone else and all accounts  Borrower may open
in the  future,  excluding  however  all IRA and Keogh  accounts,  and all trust
accounts for which the grant of a security  interest would be prohibited by law.
Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge
or setoff all sums owing on this Note against any and all such accounts.

COLLATERAL.  This Note is secured by Security  Agreement  dated 9/1/98  covering
accounts,  inventory,  equipment  contract  rights & general  intangibles  (TENT
Finance,  Inc.) Security  Agreement dated 9/1/98 covering  accounts,  inventory,
equipment,  contract rights & general  intangibles  (Total  Entertainment)  Loan
Agreement  dated 9/1/98;  Security  Agreement  dated 9/1/98  covering  accounts,
inventory,  general  intangibles,   furniture,  fixtures,  equipment,  leasehold
improvements and contract rights,  including, but not limited to, rights arising
under leases, licenses & permits and trademark licenses (in the names of various
Grantors).

LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.  Advances under
this Note, as well as directions for payment from  Borrower's  accounts,  may be
requested  orally or in writing by Borrower or by an authorized  person.  Lender
may, but need not,  require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing.  The
following party or parties are authorized to request  advances under the line of
credit until  Lender  receives  from  Borrower at Lender's  address  shown above
written   notice   of   revocation   of   their   authority:   Gary   M.   Judd,
CEO/President/COO; and James Zielke, Secretary. Borrower agrees to be liable for
all  sums  either:  (a)  advanced  in  accordance  with the  instructions  of an
authorized person or (b) credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. The
unpaid  principal  balance  owing on this Note at any time may be  evidenced  by
endorsements  on this Note or by  Lender's  internal  records,  including  daily
computer print-outs.  Lender will have no obligation to advance funds under this
Note if: (a)  Borrower or any  guarantor  is in default  under the terms of this
Note or any agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with Lender,  including
any agreement made in connection  with the signing of this Note; (b) Borrower or
any guarantor  ceases doing business or is insolvent;  (c) any guarantor  seeks,
claims or  otherwise  attempts  to limit,  modify  or  revoke  such  guarantor's
guarantee of this Note or any other loan with Lender; (d) Borrower has applied

funds provided pursuant to this Note for purposes other than those authorized by
Lender; or (e) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure under this Note or any
other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

PRIOR NOTE.  Promissory Note #418082-33345 to renew.

GENERAL  PROVISIONS.  Lender may delay or forgo  enforcing  any of its rights or
remedies under this Note without losing them.  Borrower and any other person who
signs,  guarantees or endorses this Note,  to the extent  allowed by law,  waive
presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor. Upon any change
in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise  expressly stated in writing, no
party show signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor,  accommodation maker or
endorser,  shall be released from liability.  All such parties agree that Lender
may renew or  extend  (repeatedly  and for any  length of time)  this  loan,  or
release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or
perfect Lender's security interest in the collateral;  and take any other action
