ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
         --------

The Company

     Foodmaker, Inc. (the "Company") owns, operates and franchises JACK IN THE
BOX restaurants, a fast food chain located principally in the western and
southwestern United States.  Until January 27, 1994, the Company also owned
Chi-Chi's, Inc. ("Chi-Chi's"), a chain of full-service, casual Mexican
restaurants located primarily in the midwestern and midatlantic United
States.

     On January 27, 1994, Foodmaker, Apollo FRI Partners, L.P. ("Apollo") and
Green Equity Investors, L.P., whose general partner is Leonard Green &
Partners, acquired Restaurant Enterprises Group, Inc. ("REGI"), a company
that owned, operated and franchised various restaurant chains including El
Torito, Carrows and Coco's.  Contemporaneously, REGI changed its name to
Family Restaurants, Inc. ("FRI").  Concurrently, Foodmaker contributed its
entire Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant chain to FRI in exchange for a 39% equity
interest in FRI and other consideration.  Pursuant to an agreement dated
November 20, 1995, Foodmaker transferred its entire equity interest in FRI to
Apollo and entered into a mutual release with the other principal
shareholders of FRI, as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements.

JACK IN THE BOX

     Overview.  JACK IN THE BOX is a leading regional competitor in the
fast-food segment of the restaurant industry with system-wide sales of
$1,229.0 million in 1996.  At September 29, 1996, there were 1,270
JACK IN THE BOX restaurants, of which 879 were operated by the Company
and 391 were franchised.

     Menu and marketing strategies for JACK IN THE BOX restaurants are
principally directed toward adult fast-food customers.  JACK IN THE BOX
offers a wider menu selection than most of its major competitors
featuring foods that are not commonly offered in the fast-food hamburger
segment (such as the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl and Philly Cheesesteak), as well
as more traditional fast-food products (such as hamburgers and french fries).
The Company believes that a key competitive strength of JACK IN THE BOX is
its ability to introduce new and distinctive, high quality menu items that
appeal to the changing preferences of its adult guests.

     JACK IN THE BOX was the first restaurant chain to develop and expand the
concept of drive-thru only restaurants, and drive-thru sales currently
account for more than 60% of the sales at Company-operated restaurants.  Over
the years the JACK IN THE BOX concept has evolved to include more inside
seating in its restaurants.  Most restaurants are located in freestanding
buildings with seating capacities ranging from 24 to 85 persons and are open
approximately 18 hours a day.

     History.  The first JACK IN THE BOX restaurant, which offered only
drive-thru service, opened in 1950, and the JACK IN THE BOX chain expanded its
operations to approximately 300 restaurants in 1968.  After Ralston Purina
Company purchased the Company in 1968, JACK IN THE BOX underwent a major
expansion program in an effort to penetrate the eastern and midwestern
markets, and the business grew to over 1,000 units by 1979.  In 1979, the
Company's management decided to concentrate its efforts and resources in the
western and southwestern markets, which it believed offered the greatest
growth and profit potential.  Accordingly, the Company sold 232 restaurants
in the eastern and midwestern markets and redeployed the sale proceeds in its
western and southwestern markets where the Company had a well-established
market position and better growth prospects.

     Operating Strategy.  JACK IN THE BOX's operating strategy is to:
(i) increase per store average sales through the introduction and promotion of
distinctive, high quality menu items; (ii) focus on improving sales and
margins through increased emphasis on guest service, food quality and safety,
and cost management; and (iii) increase the number of JACK IN THE BOX
restaurants through the addition of Company-operated and franchise-developed
restaurants in JACK IN THE BOX's existing and contiguous markets.

                                    -1-

<PAGE>
     Food Strategy.  JACK IN THE BOX's menu strategy is to provide a variety
of distinctive, high quality products that represent good value and appeal to
the changing preferences of its customers.  The JACK IN THE BOX menu
features a wide variety of approximately 45-50 fast-food menu items,
including hamburgers, specialty sandwiches, salads, Mexican foods, finger
foods, breakfast foods, side items and desserts.

     Management believes that JACK IN THE BOX's ability to develop new and
unique menu items has been a traditional strength of the Company.  JACK IN
THE BOX continuously develops and tests new items for its menu and seeks to
improve existing products.  New products are developed in a corporate test
kitchen and then introduced in one or more of Foodmaker's test restaurants
to ensure that product consistency, high quality standards and profitability
can be maintained and to determine preliminary guest response.  Operating and
training systems have been developed that enable JACK IN THE BOX to respond
quickly to implement menu changes while achieving quality and profit
objectives.  If a new item proves successful at the research and development
level, it is generally tested in selected markets, both with and without
marketing support, and if it proves successful, the item is incorporated into
the standard JACK IN THE BOX menu.  JACK IN THE BOX has introduced over 50 new
products in the last ten years.  In addition, JACK IN THE BOX pursues menu
strategies involving product reintroductions, limited-time only product
promotions and products which target the value segment of the business.

     Hamburgers represent the largest segment of the fast-food industry;
accordingly, JACK IN THE BOX continues to offer hamburgers as principal menu
items.  Hamburgers, including the Grilled Sourdough Burger and the Ultimate
Cheeseburger, accounted for approximately one quarter of JACK IN THE BOX's
fiscal 1996 sales.  However, management believes that, as a result of its
diverse menu, JACK IN THE BOX restaurants are less dependent on the commercial
success of one or a few products than other fast-food chains, and that JACK
IN THE BOX's menu appeals to a broad range of food preferences.

     Growth Strategy.  The Company's goal is to achieve targeted levels of
media pressure in JACK IN THE BOX's existing major markets through the
construction of new restaurants primarily by the Company and, to a lesser
extent, by franchisees.  The Company's current plan calls for opening
approximately 400-450 new Company-operated restaurants (approximately one-third
of the new development is expected to be on non-traditional sites) as well as
approximately 20 new franchise-operated restaurants over the next five years.
The Company has historically acquired and will continue to consider the
acquisition of existing restaurants for conversion to JACK IN THE BOX
restaurants.

     The following table sets forth the growth in Company-operated and
franchised JACK IN THE BOX restaurants since the beginning of fiscal year 1992:

     Site selections for all new JACK IN THE BOX restaurants are made after an
extensive review of demographic data and other information relating to
population density, restaurant visibility and access, available parking,
surrounding businesses and opportunities for market concentration.  JACK IN
THE BOX restaurants developed by franchisees are built to Company
specifications on sites which have been approved by the Company.

     The Company currently uses several configurations in building new JACK IN
THE BOX restaurants.  The largest restaurants seat 90 customers and
require a larger customer base to justify the required investment of
approximately $1.3 million, including land.  The smallest restaurants seat
44 customers, require less land, and cost approximately $35,000 less to build
and equip than do the larger restaurants.  Management believes that the
flexibility provided by the alternative configurations enables the Company to
match the restaurant configuration with specific demographic, economic and
geographic characteristics of the site.

     Restaurant Operations.  Significant resources are devoted to ensure that
all JACK IN THE BOX restaurants offer the highest quality food and
service.  Emphasis is placed on ensuring that quality ingredients are
delivered to the restaurants, restaurant food production systems are
continuously developed and improved, and all employees are dedicated to
delivering consistently high quality food and service.  Through its network
of corporate quality assurance, facilities services and restaurant management
personnel, including regional vice presidents, area managers and restaurant
managers, the Company standardizes specifications for the preparation and
service of its food, the maintenance and repair of its premises and the
appearance and conduct of its employees.  Operating specifications and
procedures are documented in a series of manuals and video presentations.
Most restaurants, including franchised units, receive approximately 6 full
inspections and 26 limited reviews each year.

     Each JACK IN THE BOX restaurant is operated by a Company-employed manager
or franchisee who normally receives a minimum of eight weeks of management
training.  Foodmaker's management training program involves a combination of
classroom instruction and on-the-job training in specially designated
training restaurants.  Restaurant managers and supervisory personnel train
other restaurant employees in accordance with detailed procedures and
guidelines prescribed by Foodmaker, utilizing training aids including video
equipment available at each location.  The restaurant managers are directly
responsible for the operation of the restaurants, including product quality,
food handling safety, cleanliness, service, inventory, cash control and the
appearance and conduct of employees.

     Restaurant managers are supervised by approximately 45 area managers, each
of whom is responsible for an average of 20 restaurants.  The area managers are
under the supervision of 7 regional vice presidents who are supervised in
turn by a vice president of operations.  Under the Company's performance
system, area and restaurant managers are eligible for quarterly bonuses based
on a percentage of location operating profit and regional vice presidents are
eligible for bonuses based on profit improvement and achievement of
established goals and objectives.

                                    -3-

<PAGE>
     JACK IN THE BOX's quality assurance program is designed to maintain high
standards for the food and materials and food preparation procedures used by
Company-operated and franchised restaurants.  Foodmaker maintains product
specifications and approves sources for obtaining such products.  The Company
has developed a comprehensive, restaurant-based Hazard Analysis & Critical
Control Points ("HACCP") system for managing food safety and quality.  HACCP
combines employee training, testing by suppliers, and detailed attention
to product quality at every stage of the food preparation cycle.  Products
are randomly inspected by the Company's quality assurance personnel as they
arrive at Foodmaker's distribution centers to ensure that they conform to
Foodmaker standards.  These items then are distributed to individual
restaurants through a network of Company-operated delivery trucks.

     Foodmaker provides purchasing, warehouse and distribution services for
both Company-operated and some franchised restaurants.  In prior years,
most JACK IN THE BOX franchisees utilized these services to the full extent
available even though they were permitted to purchase products directly
from any approved source.  Recently, JACK IN THE BOX franchisees formed a
purchasing cooperative and contracted with another supplier for distribution
services.  This transition occurred during fiscal 1996 and has resulted in a
substantial decline in sales to franchisees.  Some products, primarily dairy
and bakery items, are delivered to both Company-operated and franchised
restaurants directly by approved suppliers.

     The primary commodities purchased by JACK IN THE BOX restaurants are beef,
poultry and produce.  The Company monitors the current and future
prices and availability of the primary commodities purchased by the Company
in order to minimize the impact of fluctuations in price and availability,
and makes advance purchases of commodities when considered to be
advantageous.  However, the Company remains subject to price fluctuations in
certain commodities.  All essential food and beverage products are available,
or upon short notice can be made available, from alternative qualified
suppliers.

     Foodmaker maintains centralized financial and accounting controls for
Company-operated JACK IN THE BOX restaurants which it believes are important
in analyzing profit margins.  JACK IN THE BOX utilizes a specially designed
computerized reporting and cash register system on a Company-wide basis which
provides point-of-sale transaction data and accumulation of pertinent
marketing information.  Sales data are collected and analyzed on a weekly
basis by management.

     Franchising Program.  JACK IN THE BOX's franchising strategy is directed
toward franchisee development of restaurants in existing non-primary markets
and selected primary markets.  The Company offers development agreements for
construction of one or more new restaurants over a defined period of time and
in a defined geographic area.  Multi-unit developers are required to prepay
one-half of the franchise fees for restaurants to be opened in the future and
may forfeit such fees and lose their rights to future developments if they do
not maintain the required schedule of openings.  At present, most franchisees
operate no more than three restaurants.  The Company's strategy is to grant
franchises in a smaller metropolitan area to a single franchisee in order to
achieve operating efficiencies and to grant franchises for a larger
metropolitan area to several franchisees in order to maximize development of
the area.

     Another aspect of the franchising program has been the conversion of
existing Company-operated restaurants to franchised restaurants.  Although
franchised units totaled 391 of JACK IN THE BOX's 1,270 restaurants at
September 29, 1996, the ratio of franchised to Company-operated restaurants
is still low relative to JACK IN THE BOX's major competitors.  The Company
views its non-franchised JACK IN THE BOX units as a potential resource which,
on a selected basis, can be sold to a franchisee to generate additional
immediate cash flow and earnings while still maintaining future cash flows
and earnings through franchise rents and royalties.

     JACK IN THE BOX's current franchise agreement provides for an initial
franchise fee of $50,000 (formerly $25,000) per restaurant.  This agreement
generally provides for royalties of 5% (formerly 4%) of gross sales, a marketing
fee of 5% of gross sales (although some existing agreements provide for a 4%
rate) and a 20-year term.  In connection with the conversion of a
Company-operated restaurant, the restaurant equipment and the right to do
business at that location, known as "Trading Area Rights," are sold to the
franchisee, in most cases for cash.  The aggregate price is equal
to the negotiated fair market value of the restaurant as a going concern,
which depends on
                                    -4-

<PAGE>
various factors including the history of the facility, its location and its cash
flow potential.  In addition, the land and building are leased or subleased to
the franchisee at a negotiated rent, generally equal to the greater of a
minimum base rent or a percentage of gross sales (typically 8 1/2%).  The
franchisee is required to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.

     Advertising and Promotion.  JACK IN THE BOX engages in substantial
marketing programs and activities.  Advertising costs are paid from a fund
created by the marketing fees paid by franchisees together with an amount
contributed each year by the Company equal to at least 5% of the gross sales of
its Company-operated restaurants.  JACK IN THE BOX's use of advertising media
is limited to regional and local campaigns both on spot television and radio
and in print media.  JACK IN THE BOX does not advertise nationally.
JACK IN THE BOX spent approximately $60 million on advertising and promotions
in fiscal 1996, including franchisee contributions.  JACK IN THE BOX's current
advertising campaign promotes new and established JACK IN THE BOX products on
an individual basis in a series of creative 30 second television and radio
spot advertisements.  The Company also allocated $1.7 million in 1996 for
local marketing purposes.  Franchisees are encouraged to, and generally do,
spend funds in addition to those expended by the Company for local marketing
programs.

     Employees.  At September 29, 1996, JACK IN THE BOX had approximately 24,800
employees, of whom 23,130 were restaurant employees, 420 were corporate
personnel, 300 were distribution employees and 950 were field management and
administrative personnel.  Employees are paid on an hourly basis, except
restaurant managers, corporate and field management, and administrative
personnel.  A majority of JACK IN THE BOX's restaurant employees are employed
on a part-time, hourly basis to provide services necessary during peak
periods of restaurant operations.  JACK IN THE BOX has not experienced any
significant work stoppages and believes its labor relations are good.

     JACK IN THE BOX competes in the job market for qualified employees and
believes its wage rates are comparable to those of its competitors.

Trademarks and Service Marks

     The JACK IN THE BOX name is of material importance to the Company and is a
registered trademark and service mark in the United States and in certain
foreign countries.  In addition, the Company has registered numerous service
marks and trademarks for use in its business, including the JACK IN THE BOX
logo, Breakfast Jack and Jumbo Jack names and Crescent Breakfast name and
design.

Competition and Markets

     In general, the restaurant business is highly competitive and is affected
by competitive changes in a geographic area, changes in the public's eating
habits and preferences and local and national economic conditions affecting
consumer spending habits, population trends and traffic patterns.  Key
competitive factors in the industry are the quality and value of the food
products offered, quality and speed of service, advertising, name
identification, restaurant location and attractiveness of facilities.

     Each JACK IN THE BOX restaurant competes directly and indirectly with a
large number of national and regional chain operators as well as with
locally-owned fast-food restaurants and coffee shops.  In selling franchises,
JACK IN THE BOX competes with many other restaurant franchisors, and some of
its competitors have substantially greater financial resources and higher total
sales volume.

                                    -5-

<PAGE>
Regulation

     Each Company-operated and franchised restaurant is subject to regulation by
federal agencies and to licensing and regulation by state and local health,
sanitation, safety, fire and other departments.  Difficulties or failures in
obtaining any required licensing or approval could result in delays or
cancellations in the opening of new restaurants.

     The Company is also subject to federal and a substantial number of state
laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises.  Such laws impose registration
and disclosure requirements on franchisors in the offer and sale of
franchises and may also apply substantive standards, including limitations on
the ability of franchisors to terminate franchisees and alter franchise
arrangements, to the relationship between franchisor and franchisee.  The
Company believes it is operating in substantial compliance with applicable
laws and regulations governing its operations.

     The Company is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and various state
laws governing such matters as minimum wages, overtime and other working
conditions.  A significant number of the Company's food service personnel are
paid at rates related to the federal and state minimum wage, and accordingly,
increases in the minimum wage increase the Company's labor costs.

     In addition, various proposals which would require employers to provide
health insurance for all of their employees are being considered from
time-to-time in Congress and various states.  The imposition of any
requirement that the Company provide health insurance to all employees would
have a material adverse impact on the consolidated operations and financial
condition of the Company and the restaurant industry.

The Company is subject to certain guidelines under the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 and various state codes and regulations which
require restaurants to provide full and equal access to persons with physical
disabilities.  To comply with such laws and regulations, the cost of
remodeling and developing restaurants has increased, principally due to the
need to provide certain older restaurants with ramps, wider doors, enlarged
restrooms and other conveniences.

     The Company is also subject to various federal, state and local laws
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment.  The cost of
developing restaurants has increased as a result of the Company's compliance
with such laws.  Such costs relate primarily to the necessity of obtaining
more land, landscaping and below surface storm drainage and the cost of more
expensive equipment necessary to decrease the amount of effluent emitted into
the air and ground.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     The Company wishes to caution readers that the forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Company. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is filing the following
cautionary statements identifying important factors that in some cases have
affected, and in the future could cause, the Company's actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking
statements.

     In addition to factors discussed in this Form 10-K, among the other factors
that could cause the Company's results to differ materially are:  the
effectiveness and cost of advertising and promotional efforts; the degree of
success of the Company's new and unique product offerings; weather
conditions; difficulties in obtaining ingredients and variations in
ingredient costs; the Company's ability to control operating,
general and administrative costs and to raise prices sufficiently to offset
cost increases; the Company's ability to recognize value from any current or
future co-branding efforts; competitive products and pricing and promotions;
the impact of any wide-spread negative publicity; the impact on consumer eating
habits of new scientific information regarding diet, nutrition and health;
competition for labor; general economic conditions; changes in consumer tastes
and in travel and dining-out habits; the impact on operations and the costs to
comply with laws and regulations and other activities of governing entities;


                                    -6-

<PAGE>
the costs and other effects of legal claims by franchisees, customers, vendors
and others, including settlement of those claims; and the effectiveness of
management strategies and decisions.

     There can be no assurance that the Company or its franchisees, domestic and
international, will achieve growth objectives or that new restaurants will be
profitable.  The opening and profitability of restaurants are subject to
various risk factors including the identification, availability and lease or
purchase terms of suitable sites, both traditional and non-traditional; the
ability of the Company and its franchisees to finance new restaurant
development;the ability to meet construction schedules, permitting and
regulatory compliance; and the sales and cost performance of the individual
new restaurants.

     The growth of JACK IN THE BOX restaurants outside the United States is
subject to a number of additional factors.  The Company has limited
experience with international franchise development.  The growth and
profitability of international restaurants are subject to the financial,
development and operational capabilities of franchisees, the franchisees'
ability to develop a support structure and adequately support subfranchisees,
the franchisees' adherence to the Company's operational standards, as well as
currency regulations and fluctuations.

     Because the Company's business is regional, with approximately 75% of its
company-operated and franchised restaurants located in the states of
California and Texas, the economic conditions and weather conditions
affecting those states may have a material impact upon the Company's results.
The Company has a substantial number of minimum wage employees and employees
who are paid at wage rates slightly above the minimum wage.  As
federal and/or state minimum wage rates increase, the Company may need
to increase not only the wages of its minimum wage employees but also the
wages paid to the employees at wage rates which are above minimum wage. If
competitive pressures or other factors prevent the Company from offsetting
the increased costs by increases in prices, the Company's profitability may
decline.

     The Company has been required under SFAS 109, because of operating losses
incurred over the past several years, to establish valuation allowances
against deferred tax assets recorded for net operating losses, tax credit
carryforwards and various other items.  Until there is sufficient available
evidence that the Company will be able to realize such deferred tax assets
through future taxable earnings, the Company's tax provision will be highly
sensitive to the expected annual level of earnings, the impact of the
alternative minimum tax under the Internal Revenue Code and the limited
current recognition of the deferred tax assets.  As a result of changing
expectations, the relationship of the Company's income tax provision to
pre-tax earnings will vary more significantly from quarter to quarter and
year to year than companies that have been continuously profitable.  However,
the Company's effective tax rates are likely to increase in the future.

     The Company is highly leveraged.  Its substantial indebtedness may limit
the Company's ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions.
The contracts under which the Company acquired its debt impose significant
operating and financial restrictions which limit the Company's ability to
borrow money, sell assets or make capital expenditures or investments without
the approval of certain lenders.  In addition to cash flows generated by
operations, other financing alternatives may be required in order to repay
the Company's substantial debt as it comes due.  There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to refinance its debt or obtain additional financing
or that any such financing will be on terms favorable to the Company.

     The Company's leases generally provide for the payment of fixed rentals
(with cost-of-living index adjustments) plus real estate taxes, insurance and
other expenses; in addition, many of the leases provide for contingent rentals
of between 2% and 10% of the restaurant's gross sales.  The Company has
generally been able to renew its restaurant leases as they expire at then
current market rates.  At September 29, 1996, the leases had initial terms
expiring as follows:

     In addition, the Company owns its principal executive offices in San Diego,
California, consisting of approximately 150,000 square feet.

     The Company owns one warehouse and leases an additional seven with
remaining terms ranging from one year to 21 years, including renewal option
periods.

     Substantially all the Company's real and personal property are pledged as
collateral for various components of the Company's long-term debt.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -----------------
     Various claims and legal proceedings are pending against the Company in a
federal court and in state courts in the state of Washington, seeking
monetary damages for personal injuries relating to the outbreak of food-borne
illness (the "Outbreak") attributed to hamburgers served at JACK IN THE BOX
restaurants.  The Company, in consultation with its insurance carriers and
attorneys, does not anticipate that the total liability on all such lawsuits
and claims will exceed the coverage available under its applicable insurance
policies.

     The Company is engaged in litigation with the Vons Companies, Inc. ("Vons")
and other suppliers seeking reimbursement for all damages, costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the Outbreak.  The initial litigation was filed
by the Company on February 4, 1993.  Vons has filed cross-complaints against
the Company and others alleging certain contractual, indemnification and tort
liabilities; seeking damages in unspecified amounts and a declaration of the
rights and obligations of the parties.  The claims of the parties arise out
of two separate lawsuits which have been consolidated and are now set for
trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Los Angeles, California in July
1997.

     On April 6, 1996 an action was filed by one of the Company's international
franchisees, Wolsey, Ltd., in the United States District Court in San Diego,
California against the Company and its directors, its international
franchising subsidiary, and certain officers of the Company and others.  The
complaint alleges certain contractual, tort and law violations related to the
franchisees' development rights in the Far East and seeks damages in excess
of $25 million, injunctive relief, attorneys fees and costs.  The Company has
successfully dismissed portions of the complaint, including the single claim
alleging wrongdoing by the Company's outside directors.  Management believes
the remaining allegations are without foundation and intends to vigorously
defend the action.

     On November 5, 1996 an action was filed by the "National JIB Franchisee
Association, Inc." (the "Association") and several of the Company's
franchisees in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego in San
Diego, California, against the Company and others.  The lawsuit alleges that
certain Company policies are unfair business practices and violate sections
of the California Corporations Code regarding material modifications of
franchise agreements and interfere with franchisees' right of association.
It seeks injunctive relief, a declaration of the rights and duties of the
parties, unspecified damages and recission of alleged material modifications
of plaintiffs' franchise agreements.  The complaint also alleges fraud,
breach of a fiduciary duty and breach of a third party beneficiary contract
in connection with certain payments that the Company received from suppliers
and seeks unspecified damages, interest, punitive damages and an accounting.
Management believes that its policies are lawful and that it has satisfied
any obligation to its franchisees in regard to such supplier payments.

     On December 10, 1996, a suit was filed by the Company's Mexican licensee,
Foodmex, Inc., in the United States District Court in San Diego, California
against the Company and its international franchising subsidiary.  Foodmex
formerly operated several JACK IN THE BOX franchise restaurants in Mexico, but
its licenses were terminated by the Company for, among other reasons, chronic
insolvency and failure to meet operational standards.  Foodmex's suit alleges
wrongful termination of its master license, breach of contract and unfair
competition and seeks an injunction to prohibit termination of its license as
well as unspecified monetary damages.  The Company believes its termination of
the Foodmex license was proper, and that there is no merit to the Foodmex
claims.  The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.

     On February 2, 1995, an action by Christina Jorgensen was filed against the
Company in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, California alleging that
restrooms at a JACK IN THE BOX restaurant failed to comply with laws
regarding disabled persons and seeking damages in unspecified amounts,
punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys fees and prejudment interest. 
In an amended complaint damages are also sought on behalf of all physically
disabled persons who have been denied access to restrooms at the restaurant. 
A motion has been filed, but has not been heard, to permit the lawsuit to
proceed as a class action and to include all Company-operated restaurants.

     The amount of liability from the claims and actions described above cannot
be determined with certainty, but in the opinion of management, based in part
upon advice from legal counsel, the ultimate liability from all pending

                                    -9-

legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which
are probable of assertion should not materially affect the consolidated
financial position of the Company.

     Foodmaker has not paid any cash or other dividends (other than the
issuance of the Rights) during its last two fiscal years and does not anticipate
paying dividends in the foreseeable future.  The Company's credit agreements
prohibit and its public debt instruments restrict the Company's right to
declare or pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to shares of
its capital stock.

     As of September 29, 1996, there were approximately 800 holders of record.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
         OF OPERATIONS
         -------------

Results of Operations

     All comparisons under this heading between 1996, 1995 and 1994 refer to
the 52-week periods ended September 29, 1996, October 1, 1995 and October 2,
1994, respectively, unless otherwise indicated.  On January 27, 1994, the
Company contributed its entire Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant chain to FRI in
exchange for a 39% equity interest in FRI and other consideration, including
cash, debt assumption and a warrant to acquire additional shares as described
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  The 1996 and 1995
consolidated statements of operations, therefore, do not include Chi-Chi's
results of operations and 1994 only includes Chi-Chi's for the first fiscal
quarter, while it was a subsidiary of the Company.

Revenues

     JACK IN THE BOX Company-operated restaurant sales were $892.0 million,
$804.1 million and $719.8 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
sales improvements from the prior year of $87.9 million, or 10.9%, in 1996
and $84.3 million, or 11.7%, in 1995 reflect increases in both per store
average sales and in the average number of restaurants.  Per store average
("PSA") sales for comparable restaurants increased compared to the prior year
7.2% in 1996 and 3.5% in 1995.  Sales improved under the Company's two-tier
marketing strategy offering customers premium sandwiches and hamburgers as well
as value-priced product alternatives and which features a compelling
advertising campaign.  The average number of Company-operated restaurants were
868, 839 and 761 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Chi-Chi's restaurant
sales were $123.2 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     Distribution sales of food and supplies were $132.4 million, $179.7
million and $171.7 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Distribution sales to franchise-operated restaurants decreased $31.3 million
to $67.3 million in 1996 from $98.6 million in 1995 as JACK IN THE BOX
franchisees transitioned to their recently-formed purchasing cooperative
which contracts with another supplier for distribution services.  Most
franchisees have elected to participate in the cooperative, which has and
will result in a substantial decline in distribution sales.  The loss of
these extremely low profit margin sales is not expected to have a material
effect on the profits of the Company.  Distribution sales to FRI and others
have also declined $16.0 million to $65.1 million in 1996 from $81.1 million
in 1995.  The $8.0 million sales improvement in 1995 as compared to 1994 is
primarily due to recording sales to Chi-Chi's restaurants in the first
quarter of 1995 and excluding them as intercompany sales in the same quarter
of 1994 since Chi-Chi's was a subsidiary of the Company at that time.

     JACK IN THE BOX franchise rents and royalties were $34.0 million, $32.5
million and $33.6 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, at just
slightly more than 10% of sales of franchise-operated restaurants in each of
those years.  Franchise restaurant sales increased approximately 5% to $337.0
million in 1996 from $319.6 million in 1995, principally due to PSA sales
increases at domestic franchise-operated restaurants, which were also helped
by the marketing initiatives that contributed to sales improvements at
Company-operated restaurants.  Franchise restaurant sales declined
approximately 3% in 1995 from $330.1 million in 1994, as PSA sales increases
in 1995 were insufficient to offset a 6.5% decrease in the average number of
franchise-operated restaurants due to the Company's acquisition from
franchisees of 42 restaurants in 1995 and 44 restaurants in 1994.  Chi-Chi's
franchise rents and royalties were $.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     JACK IN THE BOX other revenues, which include interest income on
investments and notes, as well as franchise development fees, were $4.3
million, $2.4 million and $4.3 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Other revenues were greater in 1996 and 1994 principally due to interest
earned on higher levels of invested cash in those years.  Chi-Chi's other
revenues were $.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.

Costs and Expenses

     JACK IN THE BOX restaurant costs of sales, which include food and
packaging costs, were $291.0 million, $258.6 million and $234.3 million in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  As a percent of restaurant sales, cost of
sales were
                                    -12-

<PAGE>
32.6% in 1996, 32.2% in 1995 and 32.6% in 1994.  Restaurant costs
of sales percentages increased in 1996 compared to 1995 principally due to
higher packaging costs and declined in 1995 compared to 1994 principally due
to favorable ingredient costs.  Chi-Chi's restaurant costs of sales were
$32.7 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     JACK IN THE BOX restaurant operating costs were $478.0 million, $447.2
million and $414.6 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  As a
percent of restaurant sales, operating costs were 53.6% in 1996, 55.6% in
1995 and 57.6% in 1994, declining each year principally due to labor
efficiencies and lower percentages of occupancy and other operating expenses.
While occupancy and other operating expenses increase with the addition of
each new restaurant, such expenses for existing restaurants have increased at
a slower rate than the increase in PSA restaurant sales.  Chi-Chi's
restaurant operating costs were $80.7 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     Costs of distribution sales were $130.2 million in 1996, $175.7 million
in 1995 and $165.8 million in 1994, reflecting the changes in distribution
sales.  Costs of distribution sales have increased as a percent of
distribution sales to 98.4% in 1996 from 97.8% in 1995 and 96.6% in 1994.
Decreases in distribution margins are due primarily to the effect of the loss
of franchise business and declining sales to Chi-Chi's.

     JACK IN THE BOX franchised restaurant costs, which consist principally
of rents and depreciation on properties leased to franchisees and other
miscellaneous costs, were $20.0 million, $21.9 million and $22.7 million in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decline in such costs reflects a
decrease in the average number of franchise-operated restaurants to 388 in
1996 from 395 in 1995 and 423 in 1994.  Chi-Chi's franchised restaurant costs
were $.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     JACK IN THE BOX selling, general and administrative expenses were $72.1
million, $78.0 million and $69.2 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Advertising and promotion costs have declined progressively as
a percent of restaurant sales to 5.3% in 1996 from 5.6% in 1995 and 6.0% in
1994, as the Company reduced its extra contributions to the marketing fund and
its use of local promotions. In 1996 the Company received from suppliers
cooperative advertising funds of $4.8 million, or 0.5% of revenues, which
formerly had been contributed directly to the marketing fund.  In 1995
general, administrative and other costs include an $8.0 million litigation
settlement with stockholders and a $1.9 million gain on the curtailment of
postretirement benefits, a net increase to such expenses of $6.1 million, or
0.6% of revenues.  Excluding the above items, general, administrative and
other costs as a percent of revenues were approximately 2.8% of revenues in
each year.  Chi-Chi's selling, general and administrative expenses were
$9.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     Interest expense was $46.1 million, $48.5 million and $55.2 million in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Interest expense decreased from the prior
year by $2.4 million in 1996 and $6.7 million in 1995, principally due to a
reduction in total debt outstanding and lower other financing costs.  Total
debt at September 29, 1996 was $398.2 million compared to $533.6 million at
the beginning of fiscal year 1994.  Interest expense in 1996 reflects
interest savings associated with the early retirement of $42.8
million of the Company's 14 1/4% senior subordinated notes, due in May 1998.
With the sale of Chi-Chi's in 1994, the Company eliminated Chi-Chi's debt and
used proceeds from the sale to repay the bank credit line, the 13 1/2% senior
notes and the 12 3/4% senior notes.

     The 1996 tax provision reflects the effective annual tax rate of 21% of
pretax earnings.  The low effective annual income tax rate results from the
Company's ability to realize previously unrecognized tax benefits.  Although
the Company incurred a loss in 1995, income taxes of $.5 million were
provided due to required minimum taxes and the Company's inability to
recognize the benefit from the carryover of losses to future years under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes.  Considering the sale of Chi-Chi's combined with the Company's
losses, the rules under SFAS 109 required the Company to provide in 1994 a
non-cash valuation allowance of approximately $14.0 million for previously
recognized tax benefits, resulting in income tax expense of $3.0 million in
1994, rather than a tax benefit related to the pretax loss.

     In 1994 the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $5.1 million, less
income tax benefits of $1.8 million, on the early extinguishment of senior
notes and the debt outstanding under its then existing bank credit facility,
which was then terminated.

                                    -13-

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.1 million to $42.0 million at
September 29, 1996 from $35.9 million at the beginning of the fiscal year.
The cash increase reflects cash flow from operations of $84.1 million in
1996, principal payments on debt of $44.7 million and capital expenditures of
$33.2 million.

     The Company's working capital deficit increased $16.5 million to $50.6
million at September 29, 1996 from $34.1 million at the end of 1995,
principally due to increases in insurance, advertising and payroll
liabilities and a decline in accounts receivable as franchisees transitioned
to another distributor and repaid other obligations to the Company.  The
Company, and the restaurant industry in general, maintain relatively low
levels of receivables and inventories and vendors grant trade credit for
purchases such as food and supplies.  The Company also continually invests in
its business through the addition of new units and refurbishment of existing
units, which are reflected as long-term assets and not as part of working
capital.

     Total debt outstanding declined $43.9 million to $398.2 million at
September 29, 1996 from $442.1 million at October 1, 1995.  On May 15, 1996,
the Company used $43.5 million of available cash to prepay the 14 q% senior
subordinated notes due in May 1998.

     The Company's revolving bank credit agreement, which was amended and
restated March 15, 1996, expires December 31, 1998 and provides for a credit
facility of up to $60 million, including letters of credit of up to $25
million.  At September 29, 1996, the Company had no borrowings and
approximately $50.9 million of unused credit under the agreement.  The
Company is subject to a number of covenants under its various credit
agreements including limitations on additional borrowings, capital
expenditures, lease commitments and dividend payments, and requirements to
maintain certain financial ratios, cash flows and net worth.  Substantially
all of the Company's real estate and machinery and equipment is pledged to
its lenders under the credit agreement and other secured notes.

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flows
from operations, the revolving bank credit facility, and the sale and
leaseback of restaurant properties.  An additional potential source of
liquidity is the conversion of Company-operated restaurants to franchised
restaurants.  The Company requires capital principally to grow the business
through new restaurant construction, as well as to maintain, improve and
refurbish existing restaurants, and for general operating purposes.

     Based upon current levels of operations and anticipated growth, the
Company expects that sufficient cash flows will be generated from operations
so that, combined with other financing alternatives available, including
utilization of cash on hand, the bank credit facility and the sale and
leaseback of restaurants, the Company will be able to meet all of its debt
service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements.

     On August 7, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
purchase of up to 2 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock
in the open market, for an aggregate amount not to exceed $20 million.  At
September 29, 1996, the Company had acquired 1,412,654 shares for an
aggregate cost of $14.5 million, none of which were acquired in 1996.

Seasonality

     The Company's restaurant sales and profitability are subject to seasonal
fluctuations and are traditionally higher during the spring and summer months
because of factors such as increased travel and improved weather conditions
which affect the public's dining habits.

                                    -14-

New Accounting Standards

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995.  SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the assets' carrying amount.  SFAS 121 also addresses the accounting for
long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of.  The Company does not
believe, based on current circumstances, the effect of adoption of SFAS 121
will be material.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995.  SFAS 123 establishes the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, under which
compensation cost is determined using the fair value of the stock option at
the grant date and the number of options vested, and is recognized over the
periods in which the related services are rendered.  The Company plans to
retain its current intrinsic value based method, as allowed by SFAS 123, and
will be required to disclose the pro forma effect of adopting the fair value
based method.

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




The Board of Directors
Foodmaker, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Foodmaker,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders'
equity for the fifty-two weeks ended September 29, 1996, October 1, 1995 and
October 2, 1994.  These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Foodmaker, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 29, 1996 and October 1,
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fifty-
two weeks ended September 29, 1996, October 1, 1995 and October 2, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Nature of operations - Foodmaker, Inc. (the "Company" or "Foodmaker")
     operates and franchises JACK IN THE BOX quick-serve restaurants with
     operations principally in the western and southwestern United States.
     Until January 27, 1994, the Company also owned Chi-Chi's, Inc. ("Chi-
     Chi's"), a chain of full-service, casual Mexican restaurants located
     primarily in the midwestern and midatlantic United States.

     Basis of presentation and fiscal year - The consolidated financial
     statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
     subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.
     Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have
     been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.  The Company's
     fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks ending the Sunday closest to September 30.

     Fair value of financial instruments - The Company invests cash in excess
     of operating requirements in short term, highly liquid investments with
     original maturities of three months or less, which are considered as cash
     equivalents.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximate
     the carrying amounts due to their short duration.  The fair values of each
     of the Company's long-term debt instruments are based on quoted market
     values, where available, or on the amount of future cash flows associated
     with each instrument discounted using the Company's current borrowing rate
     for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity.  The fair values of
     the Company's long-term debt approximate carrying values.

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
     or market.

     Preopening costs are those typically associated with the opening of a new
     restaurant and consist primarily of employee training and food costs
     incurred before a restaurant opens.  Preopening costs, included in prepaid
     expenses, are amortized over a one-year period commencing on the date a
     restaurant opens.

     Property at cost - Expenditures for new facilities and those that
     substantially increase the useful lives of the property are capitalized.
     Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred.  When
     properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and
     accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and gains or losses
     on the dispositions are reflected in results of operations.

     Facilities leased under capital leases are stated at the present value of
     minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term, not to exceed
     fair value.

     Buildings, equipment and leasehold improvements are depreciated using the
     straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets or
     over the lease term for certain capital leases (buildings 15 to 33 years
     and equipment 3 to 30 years).

     Investments - The Company accounted for its 39% investment in Family
     Restaurants, Inc. ("FRI") using the equity method of accounting.  In 1995
     the Company completely wrote off its investment in FRI as described in
     Note 2.

     Trading area rights represent the amount allocated under purchase
     accounting to reflect the value of operating existing restaurants within
     their specific trading area.  These rights are amortized on a straight-
     line basis over the period of control of the property, not exceeding 40
     years, and are retired when a restaurant is franchised or sold.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

     Lease acquisition costs represent the acquired values of existing lease
     contracts having lower contractual rents than fair market rents and are
     amortized over the remaining lease term.

     Other assets primarily include deferred franchise contract costs, deferred
     finance costs and goodwill.  Deferred franchise contract costs represent
     the acquired value of franchise contracts and are amortized over the term
     of the franchise agreement, usually 20 years.  Deferred finance costs are
     amortized on the interest method over the terms of the respective loan
     agreements, from 4 to 10 years.  Goodwill represents the cost of business
     in excess of net assets at acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line
     basis over 40 years.  The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill
     by determining whether the amortization of the balance over its remaining
     life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows.
     Based on these calculations, the Company has determined that this
     intangible asset was not impaired and no reduction in the related
     estimated useful life is warranted.

     Franchise operations - Franchise arrangements generally provide for
     initial license fees of approximately $50 (formerly $25) per restaurant
     and continuing payments to the Company based on a percentage of sales.
     Among other things, the franchisee may be provided the use of land and
     building, generally for a period of 20 years, and is required to pay
     negotiated rent, property taxes, insurance and maintenance.  Franchise
     fees are recorded as revenue when the Company has substantially performed
     all of its contractual obligations.  Expenses associated with the issuance
     of the franchise are expensed as incurred.  Franchise rents and royalties
     are recorded as income on an accrual basis.  Gains on sales of restaurant
     businesses to franchisees, which have not been material, are recorded as
     other revenues when the sales are consummated and certain other criteria
     are met.

     Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
     future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
     statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
     respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
     expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
     differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

     Net earnings (loss) per share for each year is computed based on the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
     outstanding.  When dilutive, stock options and warrants are included as
     share equivalents using the treasury stock method.  For all years
     presented, primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share are not
     materially different.

     Stock options - The Company accounts for stock options under the intrinsic
     value based method whereby compensation expense is recognized for the
     excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company stock at the
     date of grant over the option price.  The Company's policy is to grant
     stock options at fair value at the date of grant.

     Advertising costs - The Company maintains a marketing fund consisting of
     funds contributed by the Company equal to at least 5% of gross sales of
     all Company-operated JACK IN THE BOX restaurants and contractual marketing
     fees paid monthly by franchisees for restaurants operated in the United
     States.  Production costs of commercials, programming and other marketing
     activities are expensed to the marketing fund.

     Estimations - Management is required to make certain assumptions and
     estimates in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that
     affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure of
     contingencies, revenues and expenses.  Actual amounts could differ from
     these estimates.

2.   FAMILY RESTAURANTS, INC.

     On January 27, 1994, Foodmaker, Apollo FRI Partners, L.P. ("Apollo") and
     Green Equity Investors, L.P. ("GEI"), whose general partner is Leonard
     Green & Partners, acquired Restaurant Enterprises Group, Inc. ("REGI"), a
     company that owned, operated and franchised various restaurant chains
     including El Torito, Carrows and Coco's.  Contemporaneously, REGI changed
     its name to Family Restaurants, Inc. ("FRI").  Concurrently, Foodmaker
     contributed its entire Chi-Chi's Mexican restaurant chain to FRI in
     exchange for a 39% equity interest in FRI, valued at $62 million, a five-
     year warrant to acquire 111,111 additional shares at $240 per share, which
     would increase its equity interest to 45% and approximately $173 million
     in cash ($208 million less the face amount of Chi-Chi's debt assumed, of
     approximately $35 million).  Apollo and GEI, respectively, contributed $62
     million and $29 million in cash and held approximate 39% and 18% equity
     positions in FRI.  Management of FRI invested $2.5 million in cash and
     notes and held an approximate 4% equity position.  The net cash received
     was used by Foodmaker to repay all of the debt outstanding under its then
     existing bank credit facility, which has been terminated, and to reduce
     other debt, to the extent permitted by the Company's financing agreements,
     and to provide funds for capital expenditures and general corporate
     purposes.

     As a result of substantial sales declines, FRI wrote off the goodwill
     attributable to Chi-Chi's in its quarter ended December 25, 1994.  The
     Company then wrote off its 39% investment in FRI in its first quarter of
     fiscal year 1995.

     Because of FRI's continuing substantial losses and resulting increased
     borrowing requirements, the major FRI stockholders were required to
     purchase a participation in any additional advances by the banks to FRI.
     Rather than become liable for these advances, the Company, by an agreement
     dated November 20, 1995, transferred all of its stock and warrants to
     Apollo.  Since the Company's investment in FRI was previously written off
     in fiscal 1995, the consummation of this agreement had no effect on the
     consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company
     in fiscal 1996.

</TABLE>

     The Company's revolving bank credit agreement which was restated March 15,
     1996, expires December 31, 1998, and provides for a credit facility of up
     to $60 million, including letters of credit of up to $25 million.  The
     credit agreement requires the payment of an annual commitment fee of
     either 1/2% or 3/8% of the unused credit line depending on the Company's
     leverage ratio.  The Company had no borrowings under the agreement at the
     end of fiscal years 1996 or 1995.

     The Company is subject to a number of covenants under its various credit
     agreements including limitations on additional borrowings, capital
     expenditures, lease commitments and dividend payments, and requirements to
     maintain certain financial ratios, cash flows and net worth.  The secured
     notes and bank loans are secured by substantially all the Company's real
     and personal property.

3.   LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

     In early January 1994, the Company entered into financing lease
     arrangements with two limited partnerships (the "Partnerships"), in which
     estates for years relating to 76 restaurants were sold.  The acquisition
     of the properties, including costs and expenses, was funded through the
     issuance by a special purpose corporation acting as agent for the
     Partnerships of $70 million senior secured notes.  On January 1, 2003 and
     November 1, 2003, the Company must make offers to reacquire 50% of the
     properties at each date at a price which is sufficient, in conjunction
     with previous sinking fund deposits, to retire the notes.  If the
     Partnerships reject the offers, the Company may purchase the properties at
     less than fair market value or cause the Partnerships to fund the
     remaining principal payments on the notes and, at the Company's option,
     cause the Partnerships to acquire the Company's residual interest in the
     properties.  If the Partnerships are allowed to retain the estates for
     years, the Company has available options to extend the leases for total
     terms of up to 35 years, at which time the ownership of the property will
     revert to the Company.  The transactions are reflected as financings with
     the properties remaining in the Company's consolidated financial
     statements.

     Aggregate maturities and sinking fund requirements on all long-term debt
     are $2,948, $178,069, $3,229 and $3,410 for the years 1998 through 2001,
     respectively.

     Interest capitalized during the construction period of restaurants was
     $200, $161 and $727 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

4.   LEASES

     As Lessee - The Company leases restaurant and other facilities under
     leases having terms expiring at various dates through 2046.  The leases
     generally have renewal clauses of 5 to 20 years exercisable at the option
     of the Company and in some instances have provisions for contingent
     rentals based upon a percentage of defined revenues.  Total rent expense
     for all operating leases was $81,006, $75,680 and $77,296, including
     contingent rentals of $3,903, $2,843 and $3,486 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.

     Future minimum lease payments under capital and operating leases are as
     follows:

4.   LEASES (continued)

     Building assets recorded under capital leases were $13,281 and $10,248,
     net of accumulated depreciation of $3,639 and $3,033, as of September 29,
     1996 and October 1, 1995, respectively.

     As Lessor - The Company leases or subleases restaurants to certain
     franchisees and others under agreements which generally provide for the
     payment of percentage rentals in excess of stipulated minimum rentals,
     usually for a period of 20 years.  Total rental revenue was $21,497,
     $21,309 and $21,911, including contingent rentals of $5,469, $4,763 and
     $4,979 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

5.   INCOME TAXES (continued)

     The valuation allowance of $45,212 as of September 29, 1996 represents
     deferred tax assets that may not be realized by the reversal of future
     taxable temporary differences.  In fiscal 1996, the Company recognized a
     decrease in the valuation allowance of $4,295 related to the expected use
     of tax credit carryforwards.

     At September 29, 1996, the Company had federal tax net operating loss
     carryforwards of approximately $16,101 which expire in 2008 through 2010,
     general business credit carryforwards of approximately $10,777 which
     expire in 2000 through 2010 and captial loss carryforwards of approximately
     $65,000 which expire in 2001.  The Company has alternative minimum tax
     credit carryforwards of approximately $13,856.  The alternative minimum
     tax credit carryforwards have no expiration date; however, they may only
     be utilized to reduce any regular tax liability the Company may have in the
     future.

6.   RETIREMENT, SAVINGS AND BONUS PLANS

     The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering
     substantially all salaried and hourly employees meeting certain
     eligibility requirements.  These plans are subject to modification at any
     time.  The plans provide retirement benefits based on years of service and
     compensation.  It is the Company's practice to fund retirement costs as
     necessary.

     The components of the fiscal year net defined benefit pension expense are
     as follows:
                                                   1996       1995       1994

6.   RETIREMENT, SAVINGS AND BONUS PLANS (continued)

     In determining the present values of benefit obligations at each year end,
     a 7.75% discount rate and a 5% rate of increase in compensation levels
     were assumed.  The long-term rate of return on assets was 8.5% in both
     years.  Assets of the qualified plans consist primarily of listed stocks
     and bonds.

     The Company maintains a savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the
     Internal Revenue Code, which allows administrative and clerical employees
     who have satisfied the service requirements and reached age 21 to defer
     from 2% to 12% of their pay on a pre-tax basis.  The Company contributes
     an amount equal to 50% of the first 4% of compensation that is deferred by
     the participant.  The Company's contributions under this plan were $1,067,
     $498 and $1,081 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company also
     maintains an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which was
     created in 1990 for key executives and other members of management who
     were then excluded from participation in the qualified savings plan.  This
     plan allows participants to defer up to 15% of their salary on a pre-tax
     basis.  The Company contributes an amount equal to 100% of the first 3%
     contributed by the employee.  The Company's contributions under the non-
     qualified deferred compensation plan were $233, $212 and $285 in 1996,
     1995 and 1994, respectively.  In each plan, a participant's right to
     Company contributions vests at a rate of 25% per year of service.

     The Company maintains a bonus plan that allows certain officers and
     employees of the Company to earn annual cash bonuses based upon
     achievement of certain financial and performance goals approved by the
     compensation committee of the Company's Board of Directors.  Under this
     plan, $3,195 and $710 was expensed in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     The Company adopted a deferred compensation plan for non-management
     directors in the second quarter of 1995.  Under the plan's equity option,
     those who are eligible to receive directors' fees or retainers may choose
     to defer receipt of their compensation.  The amounts deferred are
     converted into stock equivalents at the then current market price of the
     Company's common stock.  The Company provides a credit equal to 25% of the
     compensation initially deferred.  Under this plan, a total of $186 and
     $116 was expensed in 1996 and 1995, respectively, for both the deferment
     credit and the stock appreciation on the deferred compensation.

7.   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN

     The Company sponsors a health care plan that provides postretirement
     medical benefits for employees who meet minimum age and service
     requirements.  The plan is contributory, with retiree contributions
     adjusted annually, and contains other cost-sharing features such as
     deductibles and coinsurance.  The Company's policy is to fund the cost of
     medical benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management.

     The normal net periodic postretirement benefit cost was $1,201, $1,440 and
     $1,533 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The plan was amended to
     eliminate retiree medical benefits coverage for those under age 45 at
     September 30, 1995, resulting in a curtailment gain of $1,900.

                                                            ========   ========

     In determining the above information, the Company's actuaries assumed a
     discount rate of 7.75% as of September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995.

     For measurement purposes, a 9.5% annual rate of increase in the per capita
     cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) was assumed
     for 1996 for plan participants under age 65; the rate was assumed to
     decrease 1/2% per year to 5% by the year 2005 and remain at that level
     thereafter.  For plan participants age 65 years or older, a 7.5% annual
     health care cost trend rate was assumed for 1996; the rate was assumed to
     decrease 1/2% per year to 4% by the year 2003.  The health care cost trend
     rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported.  For
     example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one
     percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
     postretirement benefit obligation as of September 29, 1996 by $2,466, or
     21%, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net
     periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended September 29, 1996
     by $336 or 25%.

8.   STOCK OPTIONS

     The Company offers stock option plans to attract, retain and motivate key
     officers, non-employee directors and employees by providing for or
     increasing the proprietary interests of such persons to work toward the
     future financial success of the Company.

8.   STOCK OPTIONS (continued)

     In January 1992, the Company adopted the 1992 Employee Stock Incentive
     Plan (the "1992 Plan") and, as part of a merger, assumed outstanding
     options to employees under its predecessor's 1990 Stock Option Plan and
     assumed contractually the options to purchase 42,750 shares of common
     stock granted to two non-employee directors of the Company.  Under the
     1992 Plan, employees are eligible to receive stock options, restricted
     stock and other various stock-based awards.  Subject to certain
     adjustments, up to a maximum of 1,875,000 shares of common stock may be
     sold or issued under the 1992 Plan.  No awards shall be granted after
     January 16, 2002, although stock may be issued thereafter, pursuant to
     awards granted prior to such date.

     In August 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993
     Plan").  Under the 1993 Plan, employees who do not participate in the 1992
     Plan are eligible to receive annually stock options with an aggregate
     exercise price equivalent to a maximum of 10% of their eligible
     earnings.  Subject to certain adjustments, up to a maximum of 3,000,000
     shares of common stock may be sold or issued under the 1993 Plan.  No
     awards shall be granted after December 11, 2003, although common stock may
     be issued thereafter, pursuant to awards granted prior to such date.

     In February 1995, the Company adopted the Non-Employee Director Stock
     Option Plan (the "Director Plan").  Under the Director Plan, any eligible
     director of the Company who is not an employee of the Company or a
     subsidiary of the Company is granted annually an option to purchase 10,000
     shares of common stock at fair market value.  Subject to certain
     adjustments, up to a maximum of 250,000 shares of common stock may be sold
     or issued under the Director Plan.  Unless sooner terminated, no awards
     shall be granted after February 17, 2005, although common stock may be
     issued thereafter, pursuant to awards granted prior to such date.

     The terms and conditions of the stock-based awards under the plans are
     determined by a committee of the Board of Directors on each award date and
     may include provisions for the exercise price, expirations, vesting,
     restriction on sales and forfeiture, as applicable.  Options granted under
     the plans have terms not exceeding 11 years and provide for an option
     exercise price no less than 100% of the fair market value of the common
     stock.

     The following is a summary of stock option activity for the three fiscal
     years ended September 29, 1996:

     exercisable at September 29, 1996.

9.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized for
     issuance at a par value of $.01 per share.  No shares have been issued.

     On July 26, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one
     preferred stock purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of
     the Company's common stock, which Rights expire on July 26, 2006.  Each
     Right entitles a stockholder to purchase for an exercise price of $40,
     subject to adjustment, one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior
     Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company, or, under certain
     circumstances, shares of common stock of the Company or a successor
     company with a market value equal to two times the exercise price.  The
     Rights would only become exercisable for all other persons when any person
     has acquired or commences to acquire a beneficial interest of at least 20%
     of the Company's outstanding common stock.  The Rights have no voting
     privileges and may be redeemed by the Board of Directors at a price of
     $.001 per Right at any time prior to the acquisition of a beneficial
     ownership of 20% of the outstanding common shares.  There are 388,405
     shares of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock
     reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Rights.

     In conjunction with the December 1988 acquisition of the Company, warrants
     for the purchase of 1,584,573 shares of common stock were issued and are
     exercisable at $.93 per share, as adjusted.  As of September 29, 1996,
     warrants for 1,478,076 shares had been exercised.

     At September 29, 1996, the Company had 4,893,647 shares of common stock
     reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and 106,497
     shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of warrants.

11.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company provides distribution services to a portion of FRI's Mexican
     restaurants, principally those operated under the Chi-Chi's name.
     Distribution sales to those restaurants subsequent to FRI's acquisition of
     Chi-Chi's aggregated $65,106, $78,195 and $63,702 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.  In relation to the distribution sales, the Company had
     accounts receivable of $2,924 and $3,839 due from Chi-Chi's at
     September 29, 1996 and October 1, 1995, respectively.  Distribution
     services continue to be provided by the Company even though FRI is no
     longer a related party.

     Gibbons, Goodwin, van Amerongen ("GGvA"), successor to Gibbons, Green, van
     Amerongen, general partners in the limited partnerships which owned
     approximately 45% of the Company's outstanding common stock until such
     stock was distributed to the limited partners in November 1995, were paid
     fees of $150 and $900 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, under an agreement
     which expired December 1994, whereby GGvA provided certain management
     services to the Company.

12.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     Various claims and legal proceedings are pending against the Company in a
     federal court and in state courts in the state of Washington, seeking
     monetary damages for personal injuries relating to the outbreak of
     food-borne illness (the "Outbreak") attributed to hamburgers served at
     JACK IN THE BOX restaurants.  The Company, in consultation with its
     insurance carriers and attorneys, does not anticipate that the total
     liability on all such lawsuits and claims will exceed the coverage
     available under its applicable insurance policies.

     The Company is engaged in litigation with the Vons Companies, Inc.
     ("Vons") and other suppliers seeking reimbursement for all damages, costs
     and expenses incurred in connection with the Outbreak.  The initial
     litigation was filed by the Company on February 4, 1993.  Vons has filed
     cross-complaints against the Company and others alleging certain
     contractual, indemnification and tort liabilities; seeking damages in
     unspecified amounts and a declaration of the rights and obligations of the
     parties.  The claims of the parties arise out of two separate lawsuits
     which have been consolidated and are now set for trial in the Los Angeles
     Superior Court, Los Angeles, California in July 1997.

     On April 6, 1996 an action was filed by one of the Company's international
     franchisees, Wolsey, Ltd., in the United States District Court in San
     Diego, California against the Company and its directors, its international
     franchising subsidiary, and certain officers of the Company and others.
     The complaint alleges certain contractual, tort and law violations related
     to the franchisees' development rights in the Far East and seeks damages
     in excess of $25 million, injunctive relief, attorney fees and costs.
     The Company has successfully dismissed portions of the complaint,
     including the single claim alleging wrongdoing by the Company's outside
     directors.  Management believes the remaining allegations are without
     foundation and intends to vigorously defend the action.

12.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued)

     On November 5, 1996 an action was filed by the "National JIB Franchisee
     Association, Inc." (the "Association") and several of the Company's
     franchisees in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego in
     San Diego, California, against the Company and others.  The lawsuit
     alleges that certain Company policies are unfair business practices and
     violate sections of the California Corporations Code regarding material
     modifications of franchise agreements and interfere with franchisees'
     right of association.  It seeks injunctive relief, a declaration of the
     rights and duties of the parties, unspecified damages and recission of
     alleged material modifications of plaintiffs' franchise agreements.  The
     complaint also alleges fraud, breach of a fiduciary duty and breach of a
     third party beneficiary contract in connection with certain payments that
     the Company received from suppliers and seeks unspecified damages,
     interest, punitive damages and an accounting.  Management believes that
     its policies are lawful and that it has satisfied any obligation to its
     franchisees in regard to such supplier payments.

     On December 10, 1996, a suit was filed by the Company's Mexican licensee,
     Foodmex, Inc., in the United States District Court in San Diego, California
     against the Company and its international franchising subsidiary.  Foodmex
     formerly operated several JACK IN THE BOX franchise restaurants in Mexico,
     but its licenses were terminated by the Company for, among other reasons,
     chronic insolvency and failure to meet operational standards.  Foodmex's
     suit alleges wrongful termination of its master license, breach of contract
     and unfair competition and seeks an injunction to prohibit termination of
     its license as well as unspecified monetary damages.  The Company believes
     its termination of the Foodmex license was proper, and that there is no
     merit to the Foodmex claims.  The Company intends to vigorously defend the
     action.

     On February 2, 1995, an action by Christina Jorgensen was filed against
     the Company in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, California
     alleging that restrooms at a JACK IN THE BOX restaurant failed to comply
     with laws regarding disabled persons and seeking damages in unspecified
     amounts, punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorney fees and
     prejudgment interest.  In an amended complaint damages are also sought on
     behalf of all physically disabled persons who have been denied access to
     restrooms at the restaurant.  A motion has been filed, but has not been
     heard, to permit the lawsuit to proceed as a class action and to include
     all Company-operated restaurants.

     The amount of liability from the claims and actions described above cannot
     be determined with certainty, but in the opinion of management, based in
     part upon advice from legal counsel, the ultimate liability from all
     pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal
     claims which are probable of assertion should not materially affect the
     consolidated financial position of the Company.

                                  FOODMAKER, INC.

         Foodmaker, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware hereby certifies as follows:

         1.  The name of the Corporation is Foodmaker, Inc. Foodmaker, Inc. was

         2.  Pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, this Restated Certificate of incorporation restates and
integrates and further amends the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation of this Corporation.

         3.  The text of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation as heretofore
amended or supplemented is hereby restated and further amended to read in its
entirety as follows:

                                 ARTICLE I

<PAGE>
                              ARTICLE III

                                 PURPOSE

         The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation
Law of Delaware (the "GCL").

                              ARTICLE IV

                       AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

         A.  The total number of shares which the Corporation shall have
authority to issue is ninety million (90,000,000) shares, consisting of
seventy-five million (75,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value of $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), and fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock").

         B.  The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to issue the Preferred
Stock in one or more series, to fix the number of shares of any such series of
Preferred Stock, to determine the designation of any such series, and to fix
the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of the Preferred Stock to the full extent permitted under the
GCL.

         C.  The authority of the Board of Directors shall include, without
limitation, the power to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rate,
conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions, if any), the redemption price or prices, and the
liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and
the number of shares constituting any such unissued series and the designation
thereof, or any of them; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any
series subsequent to the issue of that series, but not below the number of
shares of such series then outstanding.  In case the number of shares of any
series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall
resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution
originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

         The designation and the powers, preferences and rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof of the initial series of
Preferred Stock are the following:

                                    2

<PAGE>
         (1) Designation and Number of Shares.  The distinctive designation of
such series of Preferred Stock is "Junior Preferred Stock" (the "Junior
Preferred Stock").  The number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be
5,000,000.

         (2) Dividends.  The holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, from and after the filing of this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
out of the funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, dividends at the
rate of nine dollars ($9) per year, payable only in the form of additional
shares of Junior Preferred Stock (valued at $100 per share) and not in cash.
Dividends shall be paid on a quarterly basis in arrears and will be cumulative
from the date of issue.

         Fractional shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be issued to the
extent necessary to make such dividend payments.  Each fractional share of
Junior Preferred Stock outstanding shall be entitled to a ratably proportionate
amount of all dividends accruing with respect to each outstanding share of
the Junior Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph (2), and all of such
dividends with respect to such outstanding fractional shares shall be fully
cumulative and shall accrue (whether or not declared), and shall be payable
in the same manner and at such times as provided for in this paragraph (2)
with respect to dividends on each outstanding share of the Junior Preferred
Stock.

         (3) Priority With Respect to Dividends.  Shares of Junior Preferred
Stock shall have priority as to the payment of dividends with respect to the
Common Stock of the Corporation and other future series of Preferred Stock
ranking junior to the Junior Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends.
No dividends may be paid on any junior series of Preferred Stock or on the
Common Stock (other than dividends payable in the Corporation's capital stock)
unless full cumulative dividends have been paid (or declared and shares
sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment) on the Junior
Preferred Stock for all quarterly dividend periods terminating on or prior to
the date of payment in full of such dividends on the Common Stock and Junior
Preferred Stock.

         The Corporation may not redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
value shares of Common Stock or any other class of stock or series of Preferred
Stock thereof ranking junior to or a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock
as to dividends or upon liquidation (other than

                                    3

<PAGE>
redemptions pursuant to employee stock subscription agreements between the
Corporation and certain officers and key employees of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries) unless, at the time of making such redemption, purchase or other
acquisition, the Corporation is not in default with respect to any dividends
payable on, or any obligation to redeem or retire, shares of the Junior
Preferred Stock.

         (4) Voting Rights.  The holders of the Junior Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to vote, except as hereinafter provided in this paragraph (4)
or as otherwise provided by law.  On matters subject to a vote by holders of
the Junior Preferred Stock, the holders shall be entitled to one vote per share.

         (a) So long as shares of Junior Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
Corporation shall not directly or indirectly or through merger or
consolidation with any other Corporation, without the affirmative vote at a
meeting (or the written consent with or without a meeting) of the holders of
at least a majority in number of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock then
outstanding, (i) create any class or classes of stock ranking equal or prior
to the Junior Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, or
increase the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock
ranking equal or prior to the Junior Preferred Stock either as to dividends
or upon liquidation, (ii) amend, alter or repeal (whether by merger,
consolidation or otherwise and whether or not the Corporation is the
surviving corporation) any of the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely the preferences,
special rights or powers of the Junior Preferred Stock (iii) authorize any
reclassification of the Junior Preferred Stock.

         (b) In the event that six (6) or more quarterly dividends (whether or
not consecutive) payable on the Junior Preferred Stock are in arrears, the
number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by one
and the holders of all outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, voting as
a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one director of the Corporation.
Such voting right shall remain vested until such time as all dividends in
arrears are paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
set aside for payment).

         (i) Whenever such voting right shall have vested, such right may be
exercised initially either at a

                                    4

<PAGE>
special meeting of the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock, called as
hereinafter provided, or at any annual meeting of stockholders held for the
purpose of electing directors, and thereafter at such annual meetings or by
the written consent of the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock pursuant to
Section 228 of the GCL.  Such voting right shall continue until such time
as (x) all cumulative dividends accumulated on the Junior Preferred
Stock, together with additional dividends accrued thereon, if any, shall have
been paid in full, and (y) all mandatory redemption obligations with respect
to the Junior Preferred Stock which have matured have been met, at which time
such voting right of the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock shall
terminate, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent
event of default of the character indicated above.

         (ii) At any time when such voting right shall have vested in the
holders of the Junior Preferred Stock, and if such right shall not already have
been initially exercised, a proper officer of the Corporation shall, upon the
written request of the holders of record of ten percent (10%) of the shares
of Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding, addressed to the Secretary of the
Corporation, call a special meeting of the holders of the Junior Preferred
Stock and of any other class or classes of stock having voting power with
respect thereto for the purpose of electing directors.  Such meeting shall be
held at the earliest practicable date upon the notice required for annual
meetings of stockholders at the place for holding annual meetings of
stockholders of the Corporation or, if none, at a place designated by the
Secretary of the Corporation.  If such meeting shall not be called by the
proper officers of the corporation within 30 days after the personal service
of such written request upon the Secretary of the Corporation, or within 30
days after mailing the same within the United States, by registered mail,
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office (such
mailing to be evidenced by the registry receipt issued by the postal
authorities), the holders of record of ten percent (10%) of the shares of the
Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding may designate in writing a holder of
Junior Preferred Stock to call such meeting at the expense of the
Corporation and such meeting may be called by such person so designated upon
the notice required for annual meetings of stockholders and shall be held at
the same place as is elsewhere provided in this sub-paragraph (ii).  Any
holder of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall have
access to the stock books of the Corporation for the purpose of causing a
meeting of stockholders to be called pursuant to the provisions of this
sub-paragraph (ii).

                                    5

<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the provisions of this sub-paragraph (ii), however, no such
special meeting shall be called during a period within ninety (90) days
immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of
stockholders.

         (iii) At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors at
which the holders of Junior Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect a
director as provided herein, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders
of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be
required and be sufficient to constitute a quorum of such class for the
election of directors by such class.  At any such meeting or adjournment
thereof (x) the absence of a quorum of the holders of the Junior Preferred
Stock having such right shall not prevent the election of directors other
than those to be elected by the holders of Junior Preferred Stock and the
absence of a quorum or quorums of the holders of capital stock entitled to
elect such other directors shall not prevent the election of directors to be
elected by the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock entitled to elect such
directors and (y) in the absence of a quorum of the holders of any class of
stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, a majority of the
holders of such class present in person or by proxy shall have the power to
adjourn the meeting for the election of directors which the holders of such
class are entitled to elect, from time to time, without notice (except as
required by law) other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall
be present.

         (iv) Any director elected by the holders of Junior Preferred Stock
pursuant to sub-paragraph (b) shall serve until the earlier of payment in full
of the dividend arrearage or the next annual meeting of stockholders, and may
be otherwise removed, with or without cause, only by the holders of at least a
majority of the shares of Junior Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of
such removal.

         (5) Liquidation Preference.  In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the
holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock (including shares issued as
dividends) will be entitled to receive $100 per share (or pro rata portion
thereof with respect to fractional shares) plus an amount equal to the cash
value of accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for distribution before
any distribution of assets may be made to holders of Common Stock or of any
other class of stock of the corporation or series of Preferred Stock ranking
junior to the Junior Preferred Stock with respect to the

                                    6

<PAGE>
distribution of assets.  If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, the amounts payable with respect to the Junior Preferred
Stock and any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking as to
any such distribution on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock are not
paid in full, the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock and of such other
shares will share ratably in any such distribution of assets of the
Corporation in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to
which they are entitled.  After payment of the full amount of the liquidating
distribution to which they are entitled, the holders of shares of Junior
Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any
distribution of assets by the Corporation.  Such liquidation rights are not
triggered by any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any
other corporation or by the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially
all of the Corporation's assets, provided that the Corporation shall not
effect such transaction unless provision is made in the certificate of
incorporation of the resulting and surviving corporation or otherwise
for the protection of the rights of the holders of Junior Preferred Stock.

         (6) Optional Redemption.  The Junior Preferred Stock may be redeemed
at any time at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, upon not
less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days' prior notice at a
redemption price of $100 per share plus an amount equal to the cash value of
all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.  On and after the
redemption date, dividends shall cease to accumulate on shares of Junior
Preferred Stock called for redemption.

         (7) Mandatory Redemption.  The Corporation shall redeem all outstanding
shares of Junior Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $100 per share plus an
amount equal to the cash value of all accrued and unpaid dividends to the
redemption date upon or immediately prior to the occurrence of any of the
following: (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's
assets to any person other than an affiliate of the Corporation; (ii) the
merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation
or of another corporation with or into the Corporation with the effect that
the common stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such
transaction hold less than 50% of the total voting power entitled to vote
in election of directors, managers or trustees of the surviving corporation
of such merger; (iii) the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation; or
(iv) the completion by the Corporation of one or more

                                    7

<PAGE>
public offerings of Common Stock for aggregate net proceeds of at least $75
million; provided, however, that no such redemption may be effected until the
earlier of May 15, 1998 and the date on which no 14-1/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 1998 of the Corporation remain outstanding.

         If, for any reason, the Corporation shall fail to discharge its
mandatory obligations pursuant to this paragraph (7), such mandatory redemption
obligations shall be discharged as soon as the Corporation is able to
discharge such obligations, but the redemption price shall be determined as
of the date such redemption should have occurred except with respect to the
calculation of the amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, which
calculation shall include all such dividends to the date of payment.  If and
so long as any mandatory redemption obligations with respect to the Junior
Preferred Stock shall not be fully discharged, the Corporation shall not
declare or pay any cash dividend or make any distributions in cash upon, or,
directly or indirectly, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, any capital
stock (including any warrants, rights or options exercisable for or
convertible into any capital stock of the Corporation, but not including the
Junior Preferred Stock) or permit any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to,
directly or indirectly, purchase or acquire any such capital stock.  Dividends
shall continue to accrue on a compounding basis on any mandatory redemption
obligation that has not been discharged by the Corporation pursuant to this
paragraph (7).

         (8) Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.  In the event that fewer
than all of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock are to be redeemed
at any time, number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by Board of
Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall determined as follows: first,
all fractional shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be redeemed, then the
Corporation shall select the remaining shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be
redeemed pro rata or by lot as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

         (9) Procedure for Redemption.

         (a) In the event the Corporation shall redeem shares of Junior
Preferred Stock at any time, notice of such redemption shall be given by first
class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
prior to the redemption date, to each

                                    8

<PAGE>
holder of record of the shares to be redeemed at such holder's address as the
same appears on the stock register of the Corporation; provided, however,
that no failure to mail such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the
validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any shares of Junior
Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to the holder to whom the
Corporation has failed to mail said notice or except as to the holder whose
notice was defective.  Each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date;
(ii) the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if
fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed from such
holder, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the
redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares
are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, and (v) that
dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such
redemption date unless the Corporation defaults in making such payment.

         (b) Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the
redemption date (unless the Corporation shall fail to provide money for the
payment of the redemption price of the shares called for redemption) dividends
on the shares of Junior Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to
accrue, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all
rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation (except the
right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price including an
amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends) shall cease.  Upon surrender
in accordance with said notice of the certificates for any shares so redeemed
(properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors of the
Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares
shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the redemption price aforesaid.  In
case fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate are
redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed
shares without cost to the holder thereof.

                                 ARTICLE V

                                 DIRECTORS

         The number of directors may hereafter be fixed from time to time
pursuant to procedures set forth in the Corporation's bylaws.

                               ARTICLE VI

                       BOARD POWER REGARDING BYLAWS

         In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter,
amend and rescind the bylaws of the Corporation.

                               ARTICLE VII

                          ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         Elections of directors at annual or special meetings need not be by
written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

                               ARTICLE VIII

                      LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY

         To the fullest extent permitted by the GCL as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to
the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director.  If the GCL is amended after the date of the
filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors,
then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so amended from time
to time.  No repeal or modification of this Article VIII by the stockholders
shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the
Corporation existing by virtue of this Article VIII at the time of such
repeal or modification.

                              ARTICLE IX

                      INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

         The Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the full extent
permitted by law, any person (or the estate of any person) who was or is a
party to, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of
the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative
or otherwise, by

                                    10

reason of the fact that such person is or was a director officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The
Corporation may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be
asserted against him.  To the full extent permitted by law, the
indemnification provided herein shall include expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and, in the manner
provided by law, any such expenses may be paid by the Corporation in advance
of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the person seeking indemnification to repay
such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified.  The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit
the right of the Corporation to indemnify any other person for any such
expenses to the full extent permitted by law, nor shall it be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification from
the Corporation may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

                  CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

                              OF

                 SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING

                  CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK



                        $.01 Par Value

                              of

                        FOODMAKER, INC.



                Pursuant to Section 151 of the

                      General Corporation

                 Law of the State of Delaware

          


          We, Charles W. Duddles, Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, and William E. Rulon, Senior Vice
President and Secretary, of Foodmaker, Inc., a corporation
organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 103 thereof, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

          That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the
Board of Directors by the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors on
July 26, 1996, adopted the following resolution creating a
series of 750,000 (seven hundred and fifty thousand) shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, designated as
Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock:

          RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in
the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with
the provisions of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a
series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation be, and it hereby
is, created, and that the designation and amount thereof and
the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights of the shares of such
series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, are as follows:

          Section 1.  Designation and Amount.  The shares of
such series shall be designated as Series A Junior


<PAGE>
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and the number of
shares constituting such series shall be 750,000 (seven
hundred and fifty thousand).

          Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.

          (a)  The holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common
Stock") and of any other junior stock of the Corporation that
may be outstanding, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash
on the tenth day of January, April, July and October in each
year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or
fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount
per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater
of (i) $.25 per share ($1.00 per annum), or (ii) subject to
the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times
the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100
times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all
non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or a subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the
immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with
respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since
the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of
Series A Preferred Stock.  In the event that the Corporation
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater
or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then and in each
such event, the amount to which the holder of each share of
Series A Preferred Stock was entitled immediately prior to
such event under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall
be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          (b)  The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in
paragraph (a) of this Section 2 immediately after it declares
a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided,
however, that in the event no dividend or distribution shall

                              2

<PAGE>
have been declared on the Common Stock during the period
between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next
subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $.25
per share ($1.00 per annum) on the Series A Preferred Stock
shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date.

          (c)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be
cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the
date of issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record
date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which
case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the
date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record
date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and
before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of
which cases such dividends shall begin to accrue and be
cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.  Accrued
but unpaid dividends shall cumulate but shall not bear
interest.  Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall
be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such
shares at the time outstanding.  The Board of Directors may
fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a
dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date
shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the
payment thereof.

          Section 3.  Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting
rights:

          (a)  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall
entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes (and each one one-
hundredth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle
the holder thereof to one vote) on all matters submitted to a
vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.  In the event
that the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any
dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or
effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then and in each such event, the number of votes per
share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the

                              3
<PAGE>
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          (b)  Except as otherwise provided in the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or herein or
by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as
one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders
of the Corporation.

          (c)  In addition, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the following special voting
rights:

                 (i)  In the event that at any time dividends
     on Series A Preferred Stock, whenever accrued and whether
     or not consecutive, shall not have been paid or declared
     and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside,
     in an amount equivalent to six quarterly dividends on all
     shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time
     outstanding, then and in each such event, the holders of
     shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each other series
     of preferred stock now or hereafter issued that shall be
     accorded such class voting right by the Board of
     Directors and that shall have the right to elect one
     director (or, in the event any such other series is
     entitled to a greater number of directors, such number of
     directors, which shall be cumulative with and not in
     addition to the director provided for herein, such
     director or directors being hereinafter referred to as
     "Special Directors") as the result of a prior or
     subsequent default in payment of dividends on such series
     (each such other series being hereinafter called "Other
     Series of Preferred Stock"), voting separately as a class
     without regard to series, shall be entitled to elect the
     Special Director at the next annual meeting of
     stockholders of the Corporation, in addition to the
     directors to be elected by the holders of all shares of
     the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of
     directors, and the holders of all shares (including the
     Series A Preferred Stock) otherwise entitled to vote for
     directors, voting separately as a class, shall be
     entitled to elect the remaining members of the Board of
     Directors, provided that the Series A Preferred Stock and
     each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class,
     shall not have the right to elect more than one Special
     Director (in addition to any Special Director to which
     the holders of any Other Series of Preferred Stock are
     then entitled).  Such special voting right of the holders
     of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be exercised

                              4
<PAGE>
     until all dividends in default on the Series A Preferred
     Stock shall have been paid in full or declared and funds
     sufficient therefor set aside, and when so paid or
     provided for, such special voting right of the holders of
     shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease, but
     subject always to the same provisions for the vesting of
     such special voting rights in the event of any such
     future dividend default or defaults.

                (ii)  At any time after such special voting
     rights shall have so vested in the holders of shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock, the Secretary of the
     Corporation may, and upon the written request of the
     holders of record of 10% or more in number of the shares
     of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of
     Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to the
     Secretary at the principal executive office of the
     Corporation shall, call a special meeting of the holders
     of shares of Preferred Stock so entitled to vote, for the
     election of the Special Directors to be elected by them
     as herein provided, to be held within 60 days after such
     call and at the place and upon the notice provided by law
     and in the By laws for the holding of meetings of
     stockholders; provided, however, that the Secretary shall
     not be required to call such special meeting in the case
     of any such request received less than 90 days before the
     date fixed for any annual meeting of stockholders, and if
     in such case such special meeting is not called or held,
     the holders of shares of Preferred Stock so entitled to
     vote shall be entitled to exercise the special voting
     rights provided in this paragraph at such annual meeting.
     If any such special meeting required to be called as
     above provided shall not be called by the Secretary
     within 30 days after receipt of any such request, then
     the holders of record of 10% or more in number of the
     shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series
     of Preferred Stock then outstanding may designate in
     writing one of their number to call such meeting, and the
     person so designated may, at the expense of the
     Corporation, call such meeting to be held at the place
     and upon the notice given by such person, and for that
     sole purpose shall have access to the stock books of the
     Corporation.  No such special meeting and no adjournment
     thereof shall be held on a date later than 60 days before
     the annual meeting of stockholders.  If, at any meeting
     so called or at any annual meeting held while the holders
     of shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the special
     voting rights provided for in this paragraph, the holders
     of not less than 40% of the aggregate voting power of
     Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of
     Preferred Stock then outstanding are present in person or
     by proxy, which percentage shall be sufficient to

                              5

<PAGE>
     constitute a quorum for the election of additional
     directors as herein provided, the then authorized number
     of directors of the Corporation shall be increased by the
     number of Special Directors to be elected, as of the time
     of such special meeting or the time of the first such
     annual meeting held while such holders have special
     voting rights and such quorum is present, and the holders
     of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other
     Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall be
     entitled to elect the Special Director or Directors so
     provided for.  If the directors of the Corporation are
     then divided into classes under provisions of the
     Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
     or the Bylaws, the Special Director or Directors shall
     belong to each class of directors in which a vacancy is
     created as a result of such increase in the authorized
     number of directors.  If the foregoing expansion of the
     size of the Board of Directors shall not be valid under
     applicable law, then the holders of shares of Series A
     Preferred Stock and of each Other Series of Preferred
     Stock, voting as a class, shall be entitled, at the
     meeting of stockholders at which they would otherwise
     have voted, to elect a Special Director or Directors to
     fill any then existing vacancies on the Board of
     Directors, and shall additionally be entitled, at such
     meeting and each subsequent meeting of stockholders at
     which directors are elected, to elect all of the
     directors then being elected until by such class vote the
     appropriate number of Special Directors has been so
     elected.

               (iii)  Upon the election at such meeting by the
     holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each
     Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, of
     the Special Director or Directors they are entitled so to
     elect, the persons so elected, together with such persons
     as may be directors or as may have been elected as
     directors by the holders of all shares (including
     Series A Preferred Stock) otherwise entitled to vote for
     directors, shall constitute the duly elected directors of
     the Corporation.  Each Special Director so elected by
     holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each
     Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a class, shall
     serve until the next annual meeting or until their
     respective successors shall be elected and qualified, or
     if any such Special Director is a member of a class of
     directors under provisions dividing the directors into
     classes, each such Special Director shall serve until the
     annual meeting at which the term of office of such
     Special Director's class shall expire or until such
     Special Director's successor shall be elected and shall
     qualify, and at each subsequent meeting of stockholders

                              6
<PAGE>
     at which the directorship of any Special Director is up
     for election, said special class voting rights shall
     apply in the reelection of such Special Director or in
     the election of such Special Director's successor;
     provided, however, that whenever the holders of shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of
     Preferred Stock shall be divested of the special rights
     to elect one or more Special Directors as above provided,
     the terms of office of all persons elected as Special
     Directors, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting
     from the death, resignation, or removal of Special
     Directors shall forthwith terminate (and the number of
     directors shall be reduced accordingly).

                (iv)  If, at any time after a special meeting
     of stockholders or an annual meeting of stockholders at
     which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
     and each Other Series of Preferred Stock, voting as a
     class, have elected one or more Special Directors as
     provided above, and while the holders of shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of
     Preferred Stock shall be entitled so to elect one or more
     Special Directors, the number of Special Directors who
     have been so elected (or who by reason of one or more
     resignations, deaths or removals have succeeded any
     Special Directors so elected) shall by reason of
     resignation, death or removal be reduced the vacancy in
     the Special Directors may be filled by any one or more
     remaining Special Director or Special Directors.  In the
     event that such election shall not occur within 30 days
     after such vacancy arises, or in the event that there
     shall not be incumbent at least one Special Director, the
     Secretary of the Corporation may, and upon the written
     request of the holders of record of 10% or more in number
     of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Other
     Series of Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to
     the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation
     shall, call a special meeting of the holders of shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock and each Other Series of
     Preferred Stock so entitled to vote, for an election to
     fill such vacancy or vacancies, to be held within 60 days
     after such call and at the place and upon the notice
     provided by law and in the Bylaws for the holding of
     meetings of stockholders; provided, however, that the
     Secretary shall not be required to call such special
     meeting in the case of any such request received less
     than 90 days before the date fixed for any annual meeting
     of stockholders, and if in such case such special meeting
     is not called, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock
     so entitled to vote shall be entitled to fill such
     vacancy or vacancies at such annual meeting.  If any such
     special meeting required to be called as above provided

                              7

<PAGE>
     shall not be called by the Secretary within 30 days after
     receipt of any such request, then the holders of record
     of 10% or more in number of the shares of Series A
     Preferred Stock and each Other Series of Preferred Stock
     then outstanding may designate in writing one of their
     number to call such meeting, and the person so designated
     may, at the expense of the Corporation, call such meeting
     to be held at the place and upon the notice above
     provided, and for that purpose shall have access to the
     stock books of the Corporation; no such special meeting
     and no adjournment thereof shall be held on a date later
     than 60 days before the annual meeting of stockholders.

          (d)  Nothing herein shall prevent the directors or
stockholders from taking any action to increase the number of
authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or increasing
the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the same
class as the Series A Preferred Stock or the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock, or changing the par value
of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or issuing options,
warrants or rights to any class of stock of the Corporation as
authorized by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation, as it may hereafter be amended.

          (e)  Except as set forth herein, holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting
rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the
extent they are entitled to vote as set forth in the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or herein or
by law) for taking any corporate action.

          Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.

          (a)  Whenever any dividends or other distributions
payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 2 hereof are in arrears, thereafter and until all
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not
declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding
shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not,
directly or indirectly:

                 (i)  declare or pay dividends on, or make any
     other distributions with respect to, any shares of stock
     ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A
     Preferred Stock;

                (ii)  declare or pay dividends on, or make any
     other distributions with respect to, any shares of stock
     ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
     liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A
     Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on shares

                              8

<PAGE>
     of the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock
     on which dividends are payable or in arrears in
     proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of
     all such shares are then entitled;

               (iii)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire
     for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior
     (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
     or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock,
     provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem,
     purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior
     stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the
     Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or
     upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the
     Series A Preferred Stock; or

                (iv)  purchase or otherwise acquire for
     consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or
     any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A
     Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase
     offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by
     the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares
     upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after
     consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and
     other relative rights and preferences of the respective
     series and classes, shall determine in good faith will
     result in fair and equitable treatment among the
     respective series or classes.

          (b)  The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary
of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration, directly or indirectly, any shares of stock of
the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under
paragraph (a) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire
such shares at such time and in such manner.

          Section 5.  Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by
the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and
cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.  All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but
unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to
series, and may be reissued as part of any series of preferred
stock created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of
Directors (including Series A Preferred Stock), subject to the
conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

          Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

                              9

<PAGE>
          (a)  the holders of shares of stock ranking junior
(either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior
thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have received the greater of (i) $1.00 per share ($.001
per one one-hundredth of a share), plus an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon,
whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, or
(ii) an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision
for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the
aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of
shares of Common Stock; or

          (b)  the holders of shares of stock ranking on a
parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock,
except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred
Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the
total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are
entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

          In the event that the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number
of shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, the
aggregate amount to which the holder of each share of Series A
Preferred Stock was entitled immediately prior to such event
under the proviso in clause (a) of the preceding sentence
shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In the
event that the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation,
merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares
of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock
or securities, cash and/or any other property, or otherwise
changed, then and in each such event, the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged
or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision
for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the
aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other
property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or
for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.
In the event that the Corporation shall at any time declare or
pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification

                              10

<PAGE>
or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of
Common Stock, then and in each such event, the amount set
forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange
or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          Section 8.  No Redemption.  The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Corporation may acquire shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in any other manner permitted by law, the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or
herein.

          Section 9.  Rank.  Unless otherwise provided in the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or a
Certificate of Designations relating to a subsequent series of
preferred stock of the Corporation, the Series A Preferred
Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the
Corporation's preferred stock as to the payment of dividends
and the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, and senior to the Common Stock of the Corporation.

          Section 10.  Amendment.  The Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any
manner that would materially and adversely alter or change the
powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, voting together as a single series.

          Section 11.  Fractional Shares.  Series A Preferred
Stock may be issued in fractions of a share (in one one-
hundredths (1/100) of a share and integral multiples thereof)
that shall entitle the holder thereof, in proportion to such
holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive
dividends, participate in distributions and have the benefit
of all other rights of holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock.

Compensation and Benefits Assurance Agreement

     This COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ASSURANCE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is
made, entered into, and is effective as of this _____ day of ________________
(the "Effective Date") by and between Foodmaker, Inc. (hereinafter referred
to as the "Company") and ______________________ (hereinafter referred to
as the "Executive").

     WHEREAS, the Executive is presently employed by the Company in a key
management capacity; and

     WHEREAS, the Executive possesses considerable experience and knowledge
of the business and affairs of the Company concerning its policies, methods,
personnel, and operations; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires assuring the continued employment of the
Executive in a key management capacity, and the Executive is desirous of
having such assurances.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement, and of
other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows:

Section 1. Term of Agreement

         This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue
in effect for two full calendar years (through ______________________) (the
"Initial Term").

         The Initial Term of this Agreement automatically shall be extended
for two additional years at the end of the Initial Term, and then again after
each successive two-year period thereafter (each such two-year period
following the Initial Term a "Successive Period"). However, either party may
terminate this Agreement at the end of the Initial Term, or at the end of any
Successive Period thereafter, by giving the other party written notice of
intent not to renew, delivered at least six (6) months prior to the end of
such Initial Term or Successive Period. If such notice is properly delivered
by either party, this Agreement, along with all corresponding rights, duties,
and covenants shall automatically expire at the end of the Initial Term or
Successive Period then in progress.

                                    1

<PAGE>
         In the event that a "Change in Control" of the Company occurs (as
such term is hereinafter defined) during the Initial Term or any Successive
Period, upon the effective date of such Change in Control, the term of this
Agreement shall automatically and irrevocably be renewed for a period of
twenty-four (24) full calendar months from the effective date of such Change
in Control. This Agreement shall thereafter automatically terminate following
the twenty-four (24) month Change in Control renewal period. Further, this
Agreement shall be assigned to, and shall be assumed by the purchaser in such
Change in Control, as further provided in Section 4 herein.

Section 2. Severance Benefits

         2.1. Right to Severance Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to
receive from the Company Severance Benefits as described in Paragraph 2.3
herein, if during the term of this Agreement there has been a Change in
Control of the Company (as defined in Paragraph 2.4 herein) and if, within
twenty-four (24) calendar months immediately thereafter, the Executive's
employment with the Company shall end for any reason specified in Paragraph
2.2 herein as being a Qualifying Termination. The Severance Benefits
described in Paragraphs 2.3(a), 2.3(b), 2.3(c), and 2.3(d) herein shall be
paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable
following the Qualifying Termination, but in no event later than thirty (30)
calendar days from such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Severance
Benefits which become due pursuant to Paragraphs 2.2(c) and 4.1 shall be paid
immediately.

         The Severance Benefits described in Paragraphs 2.3(a), 2.3(b),
2.3(c), and 2.3(d) herein shall be paid out of the general assets of the
Company.

         2.2. Qualifying Termination. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events (i.e., a "Qualifying Termination") within twenty-four (24)
calendar months immediately following a Change in Control of the Company
shall trigger the payment of Severance Benefits to the Executive, as such
benefits are described under Paragraph 2.3 herein:

     (a) The Company's involuntary termination of the Executive's employment
         without Cause (as such term is defined in Paragraph 2.6 herein);

     (b) The Executive's voluntary termination of employment for Good Reason
         (as such term is defined in Paragraph 2.5 herein); and

     (c) The Company, or any successor company, commits a material breach of
         any of the provisions of this Agreement.

         A Qualifying Termination shall not include a termination of the
Executive's employment within twenty-four (24) calendar months after a Change
in Control by reason of death, disability (as such term is defined under the
Company's governing disability plan, or any successor plan thereto), the

                                    2

<PAGE>
Executive's voluntary termination without Good Reason, or the Company's
involuntary termination of the Executive's employment for Cause.

         2.3. Description of Severance Benefits. In the event that the Executive
becomes entitled to receive Severance Benefits, as provided in Paragraphs 2.1
and 2.2 herein, the Company shall pay to the Executive and provide the
Executive with the following:

     (a) A lump-sum cash amount equal to the Executive's unpaid Base Salary
         (as such term is defined in Paragraph 2.7 herein), accrued vacation
         pay, unreimbursed business expenses, and all other items earned by
         and owed to the Executive through and including the date of the
         Qualifying Termination. Such payment shall constitute full
         satisfaction for these amounts owed to the Executive.

     (b) A lump-sum cash amount equal to ___ multiplied by the Executive's
         annual rate of Base Salary in effect upon the date of the Qualifying
         Termination or, if greater, by the Executive's annual rate of Base
         Salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in
         Control.

     (c) A lump-sum cash amount equal to ___ multiplied by the greater of: (i)
         the bonus percentage used to determine the executive's bonus in the
         prior fiscal year, times the executive's annualized Base Salary
         determined in (b) above or (ii) the bonus amount paid for the fiscal
         year immediately prior to the fiscal year of the occurrence of the
         Change in Control. Such payment shall constitute full satisfaction
         for these amounts owed to the Executive.

     (d) A lump-sum cash amount equal to ___ multiplied by the maximum
         possible estimated annual Company match of the Executive's
         contributions to the Company's Capital Accumulation Plan for
         Executives for the year in which the Executive's Qualifying
         Termination occurs (this amount shall not be less than the Company
         match of the Executive's contribution to the Company's Capital
         Accumulation Plan for the calendar year prior to the date of the
         qualifying termination). Provided, however, that the source of
         payment of this sum shall be the general assets of the Company unless
         the payment of such amounts is otherwise permissible from the
         corresponding qualified plan trust without violating any governmental
         regulations or statutes. Such payment shall constitute full
         satisfaction for these amounts owed to the Executive.

                                    3

<PAGE>
     (e) At the exact same cost to the Executive, and at the same coverage
         level as in effect as of the Executive's date of the Qualifying
         Termination (subject to changes in coverage levels applicable to all
         employees generally), a continuation of the Executive's (and the
         Executive's eligible dependents') health insurance coverage for
         eighteen (18) months from the date of the Qualifying Termination.
         This will run concurrently with any coverage provided as required by
         the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). If this requires
         a monthly payment to the Plan, the Company will pay the required
         amount, adjusted to a pre-tax basis. For this purpose, the executive
         shall be deemed to be at the highest marginal rate of federal and
         state taxes.

         The providing of these health insurance benefits by the Company
         shall be discontinued prior to the end of the eighteen (18) month
         continuation period to the extent that the Executive becomes
         covered under the health insurance coverage of a subsequent
         employer which does not contain any exclusion or limitation with
         respect to any preexisting condition of the Executive or the
         Executive's eligible dependents. For purposes of enforcing this
         offset provision, the Executive shall have a duty to inform the
         Company as to the terms and conditions of any subsequent
         employment and the corresponding benefits earned from such
         employment. The Executive shall provide, or cause to provide, to
         the Company in writing correct, complete, and timely information
         concerning the same.

     (f) The Executive shall be entitled, at the expense of the Company, to
         receive standard outplacement services from a nationally recognized
         outplacement firm of the Executive's selection, for a period of up to
         two (2) years from the Executive's date of Qualifying Termination.
         However, such services shall be at the Company's expense to a maximum
         amount not to exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the Executive's
         annual rate of Base Salary as of the date of the Qualifying
         Termination.

         2.4. Definition of "Change in Control." "Change in Control" of the
Company means, and shall be deemed to have occurred upon, the first to occur
of any of the following events:

     (a) Any Person (other than those Persons in control of the Company as of
         the Effective Date, or other than a trustee or other fiduciary
         holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or
         a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the
         Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
         stock of the Company) becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
         indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five
         percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's
         then outstanding securities; or

                                    4

<PAGE>
     (b) During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any
         period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning
         of such period constitute the Board (and any new Director, whose
         election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of a
         least two-thirds (2/3) of the Directors then still in office who
         either were Directors at the beginning of the period or whose
         election or nomination for election was so approved), cease for any
         reason to constitute a majority thereof; or

     (c) The stockholders of the Company approve: (i) a plan of complete
         liquidation of the Company; or (ii) an agreement for the sale or
         disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; or
         (iii) a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with
         or involving any other corporation, other than a merger,
         consolidation, or reorganization that would result in the voting
         securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
         continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
         converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least
         fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting
         securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding
         immediately after such merger, consolidation, or reorganization.

         However, in no event shall a "Change in Control" be deemed to have
         occurred, with respect to the Executive, if the Executive is part
         of a purchasing group which consummates the Change in Control
         transaction. The Executive shall be deemed "part of a purchasing
         group" for purposes of the preceding sentence if the Executive is
         an equity participant in the purchasing company or group (except
         for: (i) passive ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the
         stock of the purchasing company; or (ii) ownership of equity
         participation in the purchasing company or group which is
         otherwise not significant, as determined prior to the Change in
         Control by a majority of the nonemployee continuing Directors).

         2.5. Definition of "Good Reason." "Good Reason" shall be determined
by the Executive, in the exercise of good faith and reasonable judgment, and
shall mean, without the Executive's express written consent, the occurrence
of any one or more of the following within two (2) years immediately
following a Change in Control:

     (i) The assignment of the Executive to duties inconsistent with the
         Executive's authorities, duties, responsibilities, and status as an
         executive of the Company, or a reduction or alteration in the nature
         or status of the Executive's authorities, duties, or
         responsibilities, from those in effect as of ninety (90) calendar
         days prior to the Change in Control, other than an insubstantial and
         inadvertent act that is remedied by the Company promptly after
         receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;

                                    5

<PAGE>
    (ii) The Company's requiring the Executive to be based at a location in
         excess of fifty (50) miles from the location of the Executive's
         principal job location or office immediately prior to the Change in
         Control; except for required travel on the Company's business to an
         extent consistent with the Executive's then present business travel
         obligations;

  (iii)  A reduction by the Company of the Executive's Base Salary in effect
         on the Effective Date, or as the same shall be increased from time to
         time;

    (iv) The failure of the Company to keep in effect any of the Company's
         compensation, health and welfare benefits, retirement benefits, or
         perquisite programs under which the Executive receives value, as such
         program exists immediately prior to the Change in Control. However,
         the replacement of an existing program with a new program will be
         permissible (and not grounds for a Good Reason termination) if the
         value to be delivered to the Executive under the new program is at
         least as great as the value delivered to the Executive under the
         existing programs; or

         Any breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 4 of this
         Agreement or any failure of a successor company to assume and agree
         to perform the Company's entire obligations under this Agreement, as
         required by Section 4 herein.

         The Executive's right to terminate employment for Good Reason
         shall not be affected by the Executive's incapacity due to
         physical or mental illness. The Executive's continued employment
         shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with
         respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason herein.

         2.6. Definition of "Cause." "Cause" shall be determined by the
Administrative Committee, in the exercise of good faith and reasonable
judgment, and shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

     (a) A demonstrably willful and deliberate act or failure to act by the
         Executive (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or
         mental illness) which is committed in bad faith, without reasonable
         belief that such action or inaction is in the best interests of the
         Company, which causes actual material financial injury to the Company
         and which act or inaction is not remedied within fifteen (15)
         business days of written notice from the Company; or

     (b) The Executive's conviction for committing an act of fraud,
         embezzlement, theft, or any other act constituting a felony involving
         moral turpitude or causing material harm, financial or otherwise, to
         the Company.

                                    6

<PAGE>
         2.7. Other Defined Terms. The following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below:

     (a) "Base Salary" means, at any time, the then-regular annualized rate of
         pay which the Executive is receiving as a salary, excluding amounts
         (i) designated by the Company as payment toward reimbursement of
         expenses; or (ii) received under incentive or other bonus plans,
         regardless of whether or not the amounts are deferred.

     (b) "Beneficial Owner" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in
         Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange
         Act (as such term is defined below).

     (c) "Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
         from time to time, or any successor act thereto.

     (d) "Person" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section
         3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)
         thereof, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d) thereof.


Section 3. Excise Tax Avoidance

         3.1. Reduction in Award to Avoid Excise Tax Liability. If any portion
of the Severance Benefits or any other payment under this Agreement, or under
any other agreement with, or plan of the Company, including but not limited
to stock options and other long-term incentives (in the aggregate "Total
Payments") would constitute an "excess parachute payment," such that an
excise tax is due as a result of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code,
then the payments to be made to the Executive under this Agreement shall be
reduced such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the
Executive is entitled to receive shall be One Dollar ($1) less than the
maximum amount which the Executive may receive without becoming subject to
the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or which the Company may pay
without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code.

However, the payments to be made to the Executive under this Agreement shall
be reduced if and only if so reducing the payments results in the Executive
receiving a greater net benefit than he would have received had a reduction
not occurred and an excise tax been paid.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term "excess parachute payment" shall
have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), and the term "excise tax" shall mean
the tax imposed on such excess parachute payment pursuant to Sections 280G
and 4999 of the Code.

                                    7

<PAGE>
Section 4. Successors and Assignments

         4.1. Successors. The Company will require any successor (whether via a
Change in Control, direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise) of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the
obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent
that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had
taken place.

         Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior
to the effectiveness of any such succession shall, as of the date immediately
preceding the date of a Change in Control, automatically give the Executive
Good Reason to collect, immediately, full benefits hereunder as a Qualifying
Termination.

         4.2. Assignment by Executive. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal
representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees, and legatees. If an Executive should die while any amount is still
payable to the Executive hereunder had the Executive continued to live, all
such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or
other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

         An Executive's rights hereunder shall not otherwise be assignable.

Section 5. Miscellaneous

         5.1. Administration. This Agreement shall be administered by the
Board of Directors of the Company, or by a Committee of the Board designated
by the Board (the "Administrative Committee").  The Administrative Committee
(with the approval of the Board, if the Board is not the Administrative
Committee) is authorized to interpret this Agreement, to prescribe and rescind
rules and regulations, and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the administration of this Agreement.

         In fulfilling its administrative duties hereunder, the
Administrative Committee may rely on outside counsel, independent
accountants, or other consultants to render advice or assistance.

         5.2. Notices. Any notice required to be delivered to the Company or
the Administrative Committee by the Executive hereunder shall be properly
delivered to the Company when personally delivered to (including by a
reputable overnight courier), or actually received through the U.S. mail,
postage prepaid, by:

         Foodmaker, Inc.
         9330 Balboa Avenue
         San Diego, CA 92123

         Attn: General Counsel

                                    8

<PAGE>
         Any notice required to be delivered to the Executive by the Company
or the Administrative Committee hereunder shall be properly delivered to the
Executive when personally delivered to (including by a reputable overnight
courier), or actually received through the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by,
the Executive at his last known address as reflected on the books and records
of the Company.

Section 6. Contractual Rights and Legal Remedies

         6.1. Contractual Rights to Benefits. This Agreement establishes in
the Executive a right to the benefits to which the Executive is entitled
hereunder. However, except as expressly stated herein, nothing herein
contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to
prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds
or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be
made or required hereunder.

         6.2. Legal Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay all legal fees,
costs of litigation, prejudgment interest, and other expenses which are
incurred in good faith by the Executive as a result of the Company's refusal
to provide the Severance Benefits to which the Executive becomes entitled
under this Agreement, or as a result of the Company's (or any third party's)
contesting the validity, enforceability, or interpretation of the Agreement,
or as a result of any conflict between the parties pertaining to this
Agreement.

         6.3. Arbitration. The Executive shall have the right and option to
elect (in lieu of litigation) to have any dispute or controversy arising
under or in connection with this Agreement settled by arbitration, conducted
before a panel of three (3) arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the
Executive within fifty (50) miles from the location of his or her job with
the Company, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. The Executive's election to arbitrate, as herein
provided, and the decision of the arbitrators in that proceeding, shall be
binding on the Company and the Executive.

         Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in any court
having jurisdiction. All expenses of such arbitration, including the fees and
expenses of the counsel for the Executive, shall be borne by the Company.

         6.4. Unfunded Agreement. This Agreement is intended to be an
unfunded general asset promise for a select, highly compensated member of the
Company's management and, therefore, is intended to be exempt from the
substantive provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
as amended.

                                    9

<PAGE>
         6.5. Exclusivity of Benefits. Unless specifically provided herein,
neither the provisions of this Agreement nor the benefits provided hereunder
shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the
Executive's rights as an employee of the Company, whether existing now or
hereafter, under any compensation and/or benefit plans, programs, policies,
or practices provided by the Company, for which the Executive may qualify.

         Vested benefits or other amounts which the Executive is otherwise
entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice, or program of the
Company (i.e., including, but not limited to, vested benefits under the
Company's 401(k) plan), at or subsequent to the Executive's date of
Qualifying Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy,
practice, or program except as expressly modified by this Agreement.

         6.6. Includable Compensation. Severance Benefits provided hereunder
shall not be considered "includable compensation" for purposes of determining
the Executive's benefits under any other plan or program of the Company.

         6.7. Employment Status. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
create an employment agreement between the Company and the Executive,
providing for the employment of the Executive by the Company for any fixed
period of time. The Executive's employment with the Company is terminable at
will by the Company or the Executive and each shall have the right to
terminate the Executive's employment with the Company at any time, with or
without Cause, subject to the Company's obligation to provide Severance
Benefits as required hereunder.

         In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts
payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor
shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation
earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer, other
than as provided in Paragraph 2.3(e) herein.

         6.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, and agreements concerning the
subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any prior severance
agreement made between the Executive and the Company.

         6.9. Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold from any amounts
payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as
legally required to be withheld.

                                    10

<PAGE>
         6.10. Waiver of Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Executive's acceptance of Severance Benefits, the Gross-Up Payment (if
applicable), and any other payments required hereunder shall be deemed to be
a waiver of all rights and claims of the Executive against the Company
pertaining to any matters arising under this Agreement.

         6.11. Severability. In the event any provision of the Agreement
shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity
shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement
shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had
not been included.

         6.12. Applicable Law. To the extent not preempted by the laws of the
United States, the laws of the State of Delaware shall be the controlling law
in all matters relating to this Agreement.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Agreement, to be
effective as of the day and year first written above.
