incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained herein or in a document all or part of which is incorporated or

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

               (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
          the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
          after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
          recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
          the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
          set forth in the Registration Statement;

               (iii)     To include any material information with respect to
          the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
          Registration Statement or any material change to such information
          in the Registration Statement;

                                         -3-
<PAGE>


     provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not
     apply if the information required to be included in a post-
     effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
     reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or
     section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
     incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
     deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
     be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
     the termination of the offering.

     (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                 FOODMAKER, INC.
                   NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN
                     ORIGINALLY ADOPTED FEBRUARY 17, 1995
                    AMENDED AND RESTATED NOVEMBER 12, 1998


    1.  Purpose of the Plan.  Under this Non-Employee Director Stock Option
Plan (the "Director Plan") of Foodmaker, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), options may be granted to eligible persons, as set forth in
Section 4, to purchase shares of the Company's common stock
("Common Stock").  This Director Plan is designed to promote the long-term
growth and financial success of the Company by enabling the Company to
attract, retain and motivate such persons by providing for or increasing
their proprietary interest in the Company.

    2.  Effective Date.  This Director Plan shall be in effect commencing on
February 17, 1995, subject to approval by the Company's stockholders.
Options may not be granted more than ten years after the date of stock
holder approval of this Director Plan or termination of this Director Plan
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), whichever is earlier.

    3.  Plan Operation.  This Director Plan is intended to meet the requirements
of Rule 16b-3(c)(2)(ii) adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(or
its successor) and accordingly is intended to be self-governing.  To this end,
this Director Plan requires no discretionary action by any administrative body
with regard to any transaction under this Director Plan.   To the extent, if
any, that any questions of interpretation arise, these shall be resolved by the
Board.

    4.  Eligible Persons.  The persons eligible to receive a grant of
non-qualified stock options hereunder are any Director of the Board who on the
date of said grant is not an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company.  For purposes of this Section 4, a person shall not be considered an
employee solely by reason of serving as Chairman of the Board.

    5.  Stock Subject to Director Plan.  The maximum number of shares that my
be subject to options granted hereunder shall be 650,000 shares of Common
Stock, subject to adjustments under Section 6.  Shares of Common Stock
subject to the unexercised portions of any options granted under this
Director Plan which expire, terminate or are canceled may again be subject
to options under this Director Plan.

    6.  Adjustments.  If the outstanding shares of stock of the class then
subject to this Director Plan are increased or decreased, or are changed
into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities,
as a result of one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock
splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs and the like,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and/or type of
shares or securities for which options may thereafter be granted under
this Director Plan and for which options then outstanding under this
Director Plan may thereafter be exercised.  Any such adjustments in
outstanding options shall be made without changing the aggregated
exercise price applicable to the unexercised portions of such options.

    7.  Stock Options.  Commencing February 17, 1995 and on the date of each
annual stockholder meeting thereafter at which such non-employee director has
been re-elected to the Board, such non-employee director will be automatically
granted a non-qualified  stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common
Stock.  The per share exercise price of each option will be equal to the
current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

   The current market price per share of Common Stock on the date of grant
shall be not less than the higher of (a) the Quoted Price per share for
such stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant
or (b) the average of the Quoted Prices of the Common Stock for 30
consecutive trading days commencing 45 trading days before the date of
grant.  The "Quoted Price" of the Common Stock shall be the last
reported sales price of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ, National
Market System, or if the Common Stock is listed on a securities exchange,
the last reported sales price of the Common Stock on such exchange which
shall be for consolidated trading if applicable to such exchange, or if


<PAGE>

neither so reported or listed, the last reported bid price of the Common
Stock.  In the absence of one or more such quotations, the Board shall
determine the current market price on the basis of such information as it
in good faith considers appropriate.

    Each option will have a term of ten years and shall become exercisable in
full six months after the date of grant.  If on any date upon which options
are to be granted under this Director Plan the number of shares of Common
Stock remaining available under the Director Plan are less than the number
of shares required for all grants to be made on such date, then options to
purchase a proportionate amount of such available number of shares of Common
Stock shall be granted to each eligible non-employee director.

    8.  Documentation of Grants.  Awards made under this Director Plan shall be
evidenced by written agreements or such other appropriate documentation as
the Board shall prescribe.  The Board need not require the execution of any
instrument or acknowledgment of notice of an award under this Director Plan,
in which case acceptance of such award by the respective optionee will
constitute agreement to the terms of the award.

     9.   Nontransferability.  Any option granted under this Director Plan
shall be its terms be nontransferable by the optionee otherwise than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable, during the
optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee.

    10.   Amendment and Termination.  The Board  may alter, amend, suspend,
or terminate this Director Plan, provided that no such action shall deprive
any optionee, without his or her consent, of any option granted to the
optionee pursuant to this Director Plan or of any of his or her rights under
such option and provided further that the provisions of this Director Plan
designating persons eligible to participate in the Director Plan and
specifying the amount, exercise price and timing of grants under the Director
Plan shall not be amended more than once every six months other than to
comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder.

    11.   Termination of Directorship.   Notwithstanding Section 7 above,
all options granted hereunder and held by non-employee directors as of the
date of cessation of service as a director may be exercised by the non-
employee director or his or her heirs or legal representatives until the
earlier of the tenth anniversary of the date of grant or the expiration of
ninety days after the date of cessation of such service.

    12.   Manner of Exercise.  All or a portion of an exercisable option
shall be deemed exercised upon delivery to the Secretary of the Company at
the Company's principal office all of the following: (i) a written notice of
exercise specifying the number of shares to be purchased signed by the non-
employee director or other person then entitled to exercise the option, (ii)

     Re:  Foodmaker, Inc. --
          Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Foodmaker, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the registration under
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 650,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"), of the Company, issuable pursuant to
awards granted and to be granted pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

     We are familiar with the corporate actions taken and to be taken by the
Company in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares
and have made such other legal and factual inquiries as we deem necessary for
the purpose of rendering this opinion.  We have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents
of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals
of such copied documents.

     Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is our opinion that the
Shares, when issued and paid for pursuant to awards granted, and, if applicable,
exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and related agreements,
will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
