AGREEMENT

1.
DEFINITIONS
All capitalized terms used in this First Amendment which are not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Lease.

2.
ADDITIONAL USE
Landlord grants Tenant an expansion of use to include the sale of hamburgers and hot dogs for on and off-site consumption, so long as the sale of hamburgers does not exceed 20% of the overall sales generated from this location. This expanded use shall not preclude Landlord from entering into a lease agreement with another restaurant or fast food operator primarily engaged in the sale of hamburgers and/or hot dogs, or any other use beyond what is already restricted in the Lease. All signage and building changes are subject to all other terms of the Lease.

Landlord shall also have the right throughout the term of the Lease, and options, to approve any trade name change.

3.
ALTERATIONS TO PREMISES
Tenant shall be allowed to alter its interior decor and exterior signage to reflect the additional use as defined above, all subject to Landlord's review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall also be allowed to add any necessary cooking equipment to accommodate the expansion of use. Any alterations and additions to the Premises are subject to all provisions of the Lease.



4.
CHICKEN EXLCUSIVE
Should the sale of chicken, or chicken related menu items, drop below 20% of the overall sales generated from this location for a period of three consecutive months, then Tenant's existing chicken exclusive will terminate.

5.
WAIVER AND RELEASE
Tenant hereby expressly waives, and releases Landlord any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, acts, omissions, causes of action, damages, costs, losses and expenses, whether now existing or hereafter arising, known or unknown, which arise out of, or are connected with or relate to, any acts, omissions, events, or circumstances arising prior to the date of execution of this Amendment.

Tenant hereby agrees, represents and warrants that the matters released herein are not limited to matters that are known or disclosed, and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights and benefits that it now has, or in the future may have, conferred upon it by virtue of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Tenant hereby agrees, represents and warrants that it realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses, that are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and it further agrees, represents and warrants that the Release set forth above has been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that it nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit the parties set forth herein above from any such unknown causes of action, claims, damages, costs, losses and expenses that are in any way related to the matters referred to herein above.

6.
CONSTRUCTION: REAFFIRMATION
In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Lease, and subsequent amendments, and the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall govern and prevail. The Lease, as amended by this Amendment, is hereby reaffirmed.

7.
GOVERNING LAW
This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California.
