BASIC LOAN TERMS

Note:		See Schedule I below for certain definitions of terms used in these Basic Loan Terms.

Line of Credit Commitment:		$2,000,000 (the “Commitment”).

Use of Proceeds:		The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds or cause such proceeds to be used) solely for (i) the Borrower’s working capital purposes and (ii) closing costs incurred in connection herewith. No proceeds of any Advance will be used to purchase or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.

Repayment:		The Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding.

Interest:		The Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the LIBO Rate in effect from time to time plus (ii) 3.0% per annum, payable in arrears monthly on the last day of each month and on the date such Advance shall be paid in full. For purposes hereof, “LIBO Rate” means, for any day, an interest rate per annum equal to the interest rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal (New York City edition) as the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) (or an equivalent rate) for such day (or, if The Wall Street Journal shall not be published on any Business Day, any other publication selected in good faith by the Lender that sets forth the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate), or, if such interest rate shall not be so set forth for such day, for the then most recent day for which such interest rate is so set forth.

Mandatory and Optional Prepayments:		The Borrower may, at any time, prepay all or any part of the Advances without premium or penalty. If at any time the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances exceeds the Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Advances in an amount sufficient to reduce such aggregate unpaid principal amount to an amount that is not greater than the Commitment. Such payment shall be applied by the Lender to repayment of Advances in such order as the Lender in its sole discretion shall select. Upon such prepayment by the Borrower, the Lender shall advise the Borrower of, and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest at the interest rate set forth herein on the amount of such prepayment of each Advance to the date of such prepayment.

Payments and Computations:		The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Morgan Stanley DW from time to time to pay or prepay to the Lender on behalf of the Borrower any amount due and payable hereunder or under the Note, by application of funds from any Free Credit Balance existing at such time or from redemption or other disposition of any MS BusinesScape Funds in the Borrower’s MS BusinesScape Account (and

		the Borrower hereby authorizes Morgan Stanley DW from time to time to redeem or otherwise dispose of such MS BusinesScape Funds for the purpose of obtaining funds to make such payment or prepayment). The Borrower agrees to deposit or otherwise make available to the Borrower’s MS BusinesScape Account for the account of the Lender on the day when due and payable, the amount necessary for the purpose of making payment of any amount due hereunder or under the Note. To the extent that such Free Credit Balance and the value of such MS BusinesScape Funds are insufficient for Morgan Stanley DW to so pay to the Lender on behalf of the Borrower any such amount due hereunder, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance pursuant to (and to the extent permitted under) Section 2.02(a)(iii) in such amount.

		The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder or under the Note in respect of interest on, principal of, or other amount related to the Advances, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due and payable in United States Dollars in same day funds, with payments being so received by the Lender after such time being deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.

		All computations of interest hereunder or under the Note shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate hereunder or under the Note shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

Late Charge:		If the Borrower fails to make any payment within 15 days after any such payment shall become due, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a late charge equal to 5% of the amount of any such overdue payment.

Default Rate:		Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the interest on the unpaid principal amount of all Advances shall be increased, at the option of the Lender, to a rate equal to the lesser of two (2%) percent per annum above the rate of interest provided herein or the Maximum Rate.

Facility Fee:		The Borrower has or will pay to the Lender, on or before the date hereof, a facility fee in the amount of $20,000.00. An application fee of $10,000.00 (previously paid by the Borrower) shall be credited against such $20,000.00 facility fee.

Unused Availability Fee:		The Borrower will pay to the Lender an unused availability fee equal to 1.75% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Commitment, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears.

Notices, Etc.:		All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including fax communication and any other method of communication authorized by the Lender) and mailed, faxed, or otherwise sent or delivered, if to the Borrower or the Guarantor, at its address at c/o The Smith & Wollensky

Restaurant Group, Inc., 1114 First Avenue, New York, New York 10021, or fax number ###-###-####, Attention: Alan M. Mandel, CFO; if to the Lender, at its address at 825 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022, or fax number ###-###-####, Attention: Director of Credit; or, as to the Borrower, the Guarantor or the Lender at such other address or fax number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, faxed, or otherwise sent or delivered, be effective when deposited in the mails, faxed, or otherwise sent or delivered, respectively, except that notices and communications to the Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until received by the Lender. Delivery by fax of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any schedule or exhibit hereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

The foregoing Basic Loan Terms are incorporated into and made a part of this Line of Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

THE ADVANCES

Section 2.01 The Advances. The Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (“Advances”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date hereof until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount outstanding not to exceed at any time the Commitment. Within the limits of the Commitment, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.02 Making the Advances.

(a) An Advance under this Agreement may be made by the Lender to the Borrower in any of the ways set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below:

(i) The Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Lender to make an Advance hereunder on the date of, and in the amount of, each Uncovered Debit resulting from each use of any Card or any Check, whether or not such use by any person is authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower will not be liable hereunder (x) for more than $50.00 of principal (plus interest on such principal) in respect of any Advance made as a result of any unauthorized use of

any Card by any person other than a person authorized by the Borrower as a Cardholder (including, without limitation, as such authorized person any person to whom such Cardholder has permitted to use such Card) and (y) for any amount in respect of any Advance made as a result of any unauthorized use of any Card after the Lender or Morgan Stanley DW shall have been notified of a loss, theft or unauthorized use of such Card (and, for purposes of this Agreement, no Advance referred to in clause (x) shall be outstanding in a principal amount more than $50.00, and no Advance referred to in clause (y) shall be outstanding in any amount). The Lender shall make available to the Borrower, by means of a credit to the Borrower’s MS BusinesScape Account in United States Dollars and in same day funds, the amount of such Advance. The Borrower hereby authorizes Morgan Stanley DW to apply the proceeds of such Advance to pay itself in reimbursement for the amount paid by it to Bank One Indiana or Bank One Ohio relating to such use of such Card or such Check.

(ii) The Borrower may request the Lender, and the Lender or its Affiliates may make, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender, an Advance by wire transfer (or other means agreed to by the Lender) hereunder on written notice, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Advance, by the Borrower to the Lender. Each such notice of an Advance shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or fax or other method then authorized by the Lender, and shall specify therein the requested (x) date of such Advance, (y) amount of such Advance and (z) the deposit account to which the wire transfer of such Advance is to be sent. If the Lender consents to make a wire transfer, the Lender or its Affiliates shall, on such date, (A) make available to the Borrower, by means of a credit to the Borrower’s MS BusinesScape Account, in United States Dollars and in same day funds, the amount of such Advance, and (B) cause the proceeds of such Advance to be sent by wire transfer to the deposit account at a bank in the United States as the Borrower may specify in the notice of such Advance.

(iii) If any accrued interest on any Advances, or any fee or other amount due and payable under Loan Documents (other than principal on any Advance) payable hereunder shall not be paid by or on behalf of the Borrower as contemplated by the Section entitled “Payments and Computations”, as set forth in the Basic Loan Terms when such interest, fee or other amount becomes due and payable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Lender to make, and shall be deemed to agree to, an Advance hereunder on the due date of, and in the amount of, such interest, fee or other amount. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Lender may, in its sole discretion on such date, (A) make available to the Borrower, by means of a credit to the Borrower’s MS BusinesScape Account in United States Dollars and in same day funds, the amount of such Advance and (B) cause the proceeds of such Advance to be applied to the payment of such interest, fee or other amount. If, however, on such date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances shall be $250,000 or less, the Borrower may, on or before the 20th day of the month next following such date, notify the Lender that the Borrower does not so request or agree to such Advance made pursuant to this clause (iii) and that the Borrower has paid or will pay such interest, fee or other amount by other means. If the Borrower shall so notify the Lender, such Advance and such application of proceeds pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be cancelled and the Lender shall be deemed not to have so made such Advance or applied the proceeds thereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, such Advance shall not be outstanding). If, however, the Borrower shall not so notify the Lender on or before such 20th day, the Borrower shall be deemed to have confirmed its agreement to such Advance.

(b) The obligation of the Lender to make the Advances is subject to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Article III hereof.

Section 2.03 Terms of Advances and Repayment. The Advances shall bear interest and be repaid in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Basic Loan Terms.

Section 2.04 Taxes. The Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration or recording of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document.

Section 2.05 Evidence of Debt. The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from the Advances from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time hereunder or under the Note. Entries made in good faith by the Lender in such account or accounts shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement, absent manifest error, provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 2.06. NRS 106.300-400. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Lender shall receive a notice of termination contemplated under NRS 106.300-400 (referred to in Paragraph 55 of the Deed of Trust), the Commitment shall immediately and automatically terminate and the Borrower shall cease to be entitled to any Advance hereunder. Moreover, the Lender shall not be required to pay any Check or to fund any use of the Card after receipt of such notice. The Borrower and the Guarantor agree that no inference of a Commitment larger than $2,000,000 shall be drawn from the $3,000,000 figure set forth in the said Paragraph 55.
