OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

     Under the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan of Eateries, Inc., the Board of
Directors may grant stock options, restricted stock or other derivative
securities to Eateries, Inc. employees. Currently, Eateries, Inc. has issued
non-qualified stock options to key employees to acquire a total of 1,606,000
shares of common stock. Options to acquire 951,500 shares of employee stock
options have been exercised and options to acquire 517,500 shares remain
outstanding. The Omnibus Plan also includes an employee stock purchase plan.

     At the time of his or her initial election, Eateries, Inc. issues each
director (including both outside and employee directors) options for 50,000
shares of common stock. Once a director serves for more than five years,
Eateries, Inc. grants the director annual stock options of 10,000 shares upon
re-election. Under the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, Eateries, Inc. may not
grant options at an exercise price which is less than 85% of the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. Eateries, Inc. grants all
director options at fair market value on the date of grant.

     Currently, 387,417 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under
currently outstanding director options. Directors may exercise their initial
options at the rate of 20% per year beginning on the first anniversary of a
director's initial election to the Board of Directors (or, as to directors
elected before 1988, beginning in 1989). Directors may exercise their
re-election options one full year from the date of grant. All director options
have a term of five years from the start of the exercise period, subject to a
one year extension to the estate of a deceased director. Directors may not
transfer their options except by will or the laws of descent.

     Under the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, if there is a change in control
of Eateries, Inc., all unvested stock options will vest and all outstanding
stock options or other plan awards will be cashed out unless the Compensation
Committee determines otherwise.

(1)  "Beneficial ownership" is a technical term broadly defined by the
     Securities Exchange Commission to mean more than ownership in the usual
     sense. So, for example, you "beneficially" own Eateries, Inc. common stock
     not only if you hold it directly, but also if you indirectly (through a
     relationship, a position as a director or trustee, or a contract or
     understanding) have (or share) the power to vote the stock, or to sell it,
     or if you have the right to acquire it within 60 days.
(2)  This column excludes shares which the shareholder has the right to acquire
     by exercising stock options.
(3)  This column shows the number shares the shareholder may acquire though the
     exercise of presently exercisable stock options or stock options which will
     become exercisable within 60 days of April 15, 2000.
(4)  This column includes shares directly owned and shares subject to presently
     exercisable stock options as described in footnotes (1), (2) and (3) above.
