Subs Corporation ("MSC") in a private purchase transaction from Gus Boulis in

Consideration). The Transaction Consideration for each share of Common Stock of
MSC shall consist of (a) a fraction of a share of common stock of Nathan's
having a market price of $.517 per share at closing; provided that Nathan's
shall not be required to issue more than one share of its common stock for each
eight shares of common stock of MSC; and (b) warrants to acquire Nathan's common
stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share at the rate of one warrant for
