                     NATHAN'S FAMOUS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 25, 2000


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Nathan's Famous, Inc. and
subsidiaries (collectively "Nathan's") for the thirteen week periods ended June
25, 2000 and June 27, 1999 have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion
of management, were necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows for such periods presented. However, these
results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period
or the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management believes that the disclosures included in the accompanying interim
financial statements and footnotes are adequate to make the information not
misleading, but should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in Nathan's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 26, 2000.


NOTE B - NF ROASTERS CORP. ACQUISITION

On February 19, 1999, the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of
North Carolina, Durham Division, confirmed the Joint Plan of Reorganization of
the Official Committee of Franchisees of Roasters Corp. and Roasters Franchise
Corp., operators of Kenny Rogers Roasters Restaurants. Under the joint plan of
reorganization, on April 1, 1999, Nathan's acquired the intellectual property
rights, including trademarks, recipes and franchise agreements of Roasters Corp.
and Roasters Franchise Corp. for $1,250,000 in cash plus related expenses of
approximately $340,000. NF Roasters Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, was
created for the purpose of acquiring these assets. The acquired assets are
recorded as intangibles in the accompanying balance sheet and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 - 20 years. These estimates of fair
value are preliminary and subject to adjustment for a period of up to one year
from the date of acquisition. Results of operations are included in these
consolidated financial statements as of April 1, 1999. No company-owned
restaurants were acquired in this transaction. On November 17, 1999, NF Roasters
Corp. acquired two restaurants from a franchisee for approximately $400,000,
which opened in March and April 2000.


NOTE C - MIAMI SUBS CORP. MERGER

On September 30, 1999, Nathan's completed the acquisition of Miami Subs and
acquired the remaining outstanding common stock of Miami Subs in exchange for
2,317,980 shares of Nathan's common stock, 579,040 warrants to purchase Nathan's
common stock, and the assumption of existing employee options and warrants to
purchase 542,284 shares of Miami Subs' common stock in connection with the
merger. The total purchase price was approximately $13,000,000 including
acquisition costs. In addition, Nathan's also assumed $5,340,000 of existing
Miami Subs debt. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase under
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Accounting for Business
Combinations". In accordance with APB No. 16, Nathan's allocated the purchase
price of Miami Subs based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. Portions of the purchase price allocations were determined
by professional appraisers utilizing recognized valuation procedures and
techniques. Goodwill of $2,087,000 resulted from the acquisition of Miami Subs
and is being amortized over 20 years.


                                      -7-

NOTE D - ACQUISITION RESERVE

In connection with the acquisition of Miami Subs, Nathan's is implementing its
plans to permanently close up to 18 underperforming company-owned restaurants.
Nathan's expects to sell such related assets at amounts below the historical
carrying amounts recorded by Miami Subs. In accordance with APB 16 "Business
Combinations" the write down of these assets are reflected as part of the
preliminary purchase price allocations and are included in assets held for sale
in the accompanying balance sheet. As of March 26, 2000, Nathan's has accrued
approximately $660,000 for lease termination costs, as part of the acquisition.
Nathan's also expects to further accrue, as part of the acquisition, the
estimated future cash payments, consisting primarily of future lease payments
including costs and expenses associated with terminating such leases when it can
be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, excess purchase price associated with this
acquisition will increase based upon the reserve for the closing of acquired
company-owned restaurants. As of August 1, 2000, Nathan's has terminated 6 of
these leases at a total cost of $266,000. As of March 26, 2000, minimum annual
lease payments for the remaining stores was approximately $992,000, with
remaining lease terms ranging from 2 years up to approximately 18 years.

NOTE E - UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INFORMATION

Summarized below are the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the
thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1999 of Nathan's as though the Miami Subs
acquisition had occurred at the beginning of that period presented. Adjustments
have been made for amortization of goodwill based upon a preliminary allocation
of the purchase price, reversal of Miami Subs merger costs and elimination of
Nathan's 30% equity earnings.

NOTE G - CONTINGENCIES

On January 5, 1999, Miami Subs was served with a class action lawsuit entitled
Robert J. Feeney, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated vs.
Miami Subs Corporation, et al., in Circuit Court, in Broward County, Florida,
which was filed against Miami Subs, its directors and Nathan's in a Florida
state court by a shareholder of Miami Subs. Since that time, Nathan's and its
designees to the Miami Subs board have also been served. The suit alleges that
the proposed merger between Miami Subs and Nathan's, as contemplated by the
companies' non-binding letter of intent, is unfair to Miami Subs' shareholders
based on the price that Nathan's is paying to the Miami Subs' shareholders for
their shares and constitutes a breach by the defendants of their fiduciary
duties to the shareholders of Miami Subs. The plaintiff seeks among other
things:

         1.             class action status;

         2.             preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against
                        consummation of the proposed merger; and

         3.             unspecified damages to be awarded to the shareholders of
                        Miami Subs.

         On March 19, 1999, the court granted the plaintiff leave to amend his
complaint. The plaintiff then filed an amended complaint. Miami Subs moved to
dismiss the complaint on April 13, 1999. Nathan's and its designees on the Miami
Subs' board moved to dismiss the complaint on April 29, 1999. The court denied
the motions. On February 4, 2000, the court held an evidentiary hearing. As a
result of the hearing, the court struck the class action allegations from the
plaintiff's complaint. On April 7, 2000, the plaintiff filed his dismissal
without prejudice of the action, effectively ending the case against all
defendants.

NOTE - I - MIAMI SUBS TAX AUDIT

As of the date of acquisition, Miami Subs' tax returns reflected net operating
loss carry-forwards of approximately $5.7 million which are available to reduce
future taxable income through 2019 (subject to limitations imposed under the
Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership which limits utilization of
$2.8 million of the carry-forwards on an annual basis to approximately
$340,000). Miami Subs also has general business credit carry-forwards of
approximately $274,000 which can be used to offset tax liabilities through 2010.
Miami Subs' federal income tax returns for fiscal years 1991 through 1996,
inclusive, have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service. The reports of
the examining agent issued in connection with these examinations indicate that
additional taxes and penalties totaling approximately $2.4 million are due for
such years. The Company is appealing substantially all of the proposed
adjustments. Due to net operating losses anticipated to be lost in connection
with the examination, Nathan's has accrued $345,000 for this matter in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Due to the uncertain outcome of the IRS
examination and Section 382 limitation, Nathan's has recorded a valuation
allowance for the deferred tax asset related to Miami Subs carry-forwards.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", any future reduction in
the acquired Miami Subs valuation allowance will reduce goodwill.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

INTRODUCTION

During the prior fiscal year, Nathan's completed the acquisition of two highly
recognized brands. On April 1, 1999, Nathan's became the franchisor of the Kenny
Rogers Roasters restaurant system by acquiring the intellectual property rights,
including trademarks, recipes and franchise agreements of Roasters Corp. and
Roasters Franchise Corp. On September 30, 1999, Nathan's acquired the remaining
70% of the outstanding common stock of Miami Subs Corporation it did not already
own. Revenues of the combined company are generated primarily from operating
company-owned restaurants, restaurant franchising under the Nathan's, Kenny
Rogers and Miami Subs brands, licensing agreements for the sale of Nathan's
products within supermarkets and sales under Nathan's Branded Product Program.
The branded product program enables foodservice operators to offer Nathans' hot
dogs and certain other proprietary items for sale within their facilities. In
conjunction with this program, foodservice operators are granted a limited use
of the Nathans' trademark with respect to the sale of hot dogs and certain other
proprietary food items and paper goods.

At June 25, 2000, Nathan's combined systems consisted of thirty company-owned
units, four hundred twelve franchised or licensed units in addition to over one
thousand Branded Product points of sale that feature Nathan's world famous
all-beef hot dogs, located in forty-four states, the District of Columbia and
sixteen foreign countries. At June 25, 2000, Nathan's company-owned restaurant
system included eighteen Nathan's units, ten Miami Subs units and 2 Kenny Rogers
Roasters units as compared to twenty-five Nathan's units at June 27, 1999

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 25, 2000 COMPARED TO JUNE 27, 1999

Revenues

Total sales increased by 49.8% or $3,293,000 to $9,901,000 for the thirteen
weeks ended June 25, 2000 ("first quarter fiscal 2001") as compared to
$6,608,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 1999 ("first quarter fiscal
2000"). Of the total increase, sales increased by $3,205,000 as a result of the
Miami Subs acquisition made last year. Company-owned restaurant sales of the
Nathan's brand decreased 15.2% or $875,000 to $4,869,000 from $5,744,000. This
restaurant sales decline is primarily due to the impact of franchising three
company-owned restaurants during the prior fiscal year, the closing of three
unprofitable company-owned units in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year,
the closing of one unit in the first quarter fiscal 2001 due to its lease
expiration and the temporary closing of one additional unit for renovation
during the first quarter fiscal 2001. The impact of these actions lowered
restaurant sales and restaurant operating profits by $800,000 and $2,000,
respectively, versus the first quarter fiscal 2000. Comparable restaurant sales
of the Nathan's brand also declined by 1.4% versus the first quarter fiscal
2000, due principally to weakness experienced at Coney Island due to the
unfavorable weather conditions experienced this year. Nathan's continues to
emphasize local store marketing activities, new product introductions and value
pricing strategies. Pursuant to Miami Subs' exclusive co-branding agreement with
Arthur Treachers, Nathan's introduced Arthur Treachers signature products in
seven company-owned restaurants which has helped fuel sales increases in those
units. During the first quarter fiscal 2001, sales from the two recently opened
Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurants were $643,000. Sales from the Branded Product
Program increased by 37.0% to $1,184,000 for the first quarter fiscal 2001 as
compared to sales of $864,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2000.

Franchise fees and royalties increased by 137.7% or $1,326,000 to $2,289,000 in
the first quarter fiscal 2001 compared to $963,000 in the first quarter fiscal
2000. Increases in franchise fees and royalties resulting from the Miami Subs
acquisition made last year was $1,238,000, which includes a royalty
reconciliation of approximately $54,000. Franchise royalties of the Nathan's and
Kenny Rogers Roasters brands increased by $156,000 or 19.8% to $942,000 in the
first quarter fiscal 2001 as compared to $786,000 in the first quarter fiscal
2000. Franchise restaurant sales of our brands increased by 142.1% to
$54,806,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001 as compared to $22,635,000 in the
first quarter fiscal 2000. Franchise fee income derived from openings excluding
the impact of Miami Subs was $109,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001 as
compared to $177,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2000. This decrease was
primarily attributable to the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
difference between expired franchise fees recognized into income and number of
franchised units open between the two periods. During the first quarter fiscal
2001, four new franchised or licensed units opened.

License royalties were $577,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001 as compared to
$406,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2000. The majority of this increase is
attributable to sales by SMG, Inc., Nathans' licensee for the sale of Nathan's
frankfurters within supermarkets and club stores.

Investment and other income increased by $240,000 to $337,000 in the first
quarter fiscal 2001 versus $97,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2000. Increases
in other income as a result of the Miami Subs acquisition made last year was
$126,000. The majority of the total increase is attributable to a benefit
derived in connection with the introduction of a single master distributor for
Nathans' three brands. During the first quarter fiscal 2001 Nathans' investment
income was approximately $107,000 lower than in the first quarter fiscal 2000
due to the difference in performance of the financial markets between the two
periods.


Costs and Expenses

Cost of sales increased by $2,334,000 from $4,080,000 in the first quarter
fiscal 2000 to $6,414,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001. Of the total
increase, cost of sales increased by $2,032,000 as a result of the Miami Subs
acquisition made last year. During the first quarter fiscal 2001, restaurant
cost of sales, excluding Miami Subs, were higher than the first quarter fiscal
2000 by approximately $107,000. Cost of sales attributable to the two new Kenny
Rogers Roasters restaurants along with higher food and labor costs in the
Nathan's brand more than offset lower costs of operating fewer company-owned
restaurants versus the first quarter fiscal 2000. The cost of restaurant sales
at Nathans' comparable units was 59.3% as a percentage of restaurant sales in
the first quarter fiscal 2001 as compared to 57.5% as a percentage of restaurant
sales in the first quarter fiscal 2000 due primarily to higher food and labor
costs. Higher costs of approximately $195,000 were incurred in connection with
the growth of the Branded Product Program.

Restaurant operating expenses increased by $928,000 from $1,529,000 in the first
quarter fiscal 2000 to $2,457,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001. Of the total
increase, restaurant operating expenses increased by $933,000 as a result of the
Miami Subs acquisition made last year. Restaurant operating expenses, excluding
Miami Subs, were $1,524,000 during the first quarter fiscal 2001 versus
$1,529,000 during the first quarter fiscal 2000. Costs attributable the two new
Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurants offset the lower costs of operating fewer
company-owned restaurants versus the first quarter fiscal 2000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $209,000 from $259,000 in the first
quarter fiscal 2000 to $468,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001. Depreciation
expense increased by $203,000 as a result of the Miami Subs acquisition made
last year. Depreciation expense attributable the two new Kenny Rogers Roasters
restaurants more than offset the lower depreciation expense of operating fewer
company-owned restaurants versus the first quarter fiscal 2000.

Amortization of intangibles increased by $88,000 from $113,000 in the first
quarter fiscal 2000 to $201,000 in the first quarter fiscal 2001. Amortization
of intangibles increased by $85,000 as a result of the Miami Subs acquisition
made last year which is attributable to intangible assets acquired and the
amortization of the excess purchase price.

General and administrative expenses increased by $958,000 to $2,241,000 in the
first quarter fiscal 2001 as compared to $1,283,000 in the first quarter fiscal
2000. Of the total increase, general and administrative expenses increased by
$791,000 as a result of the Miami Subs acquisition made last year. General and
administrative expenses, excluding the impact of Miami Subs, increased by
$167,000 or 13.0% primarily due to higher spending in connection with Kenny
Rogers administrative costs of $68,000 and personnel and incentive compensation
expense of approximately $136,000.

Interest expense of $72,000 relates to the Miami Subs indebtedness as of the
date of the acquisition.

Income Tax Expense

In the first quarter fiscal 2001, the income tax provision was $506,000 or 40.4%
of income before income taxes as compared to $341,000 or 42.1% of income before
income taxes in the first quarter fiscal 2000. A significant portion of Nathans'
income before

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12
income taxes has been earned by Miami Subs which is a Florida corporation and is
generally subject to lower state taxes, thereby lowering the effective tax rate
of the consolidated entity.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents at June 25, 2000 aggregated $7,047,000, increasing by
$4,650,000 during the fiscal 2001 period. At June 25, 2000, marketable
securities and investment in limited partnership totalled $2,269,000 and net
working capital increased to $2,174,000 from a deficit of $322,000 at March 26,
2000. Cash and cash equivalents at June 25, 2000 included $3,659,000 held on
behalf of the Miami Subs Advertising Funds. A corresponding accrual has been
recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Cash provided by operations of $5,313,000 in the fiscal 2001 period is primarily
attributable to net income of $745,000, non-cash charges of $690,000, including
depreciation and amortization of $669,000 and allowance for doubtful accounts of
$21,000, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3,648,000, an
increase in other non current liabilities of $1,714,000, decreases in marketable
securities and investment in limited partnership of $728,000, a decrease in
other assets of $43,000, an increase in franchise and other receivables of
$2,042,000, an increase in inventories of $55,000 and a decrease in deferred
franchise and area development fees of $134,000. During fiscal 2001 we also
received a marketing advance from our beverage supplier in connection with
executing a newly executed marketing agreement.

Cash used in investing activities of $593,000 is comprised primarily of $672,000
relating to capital improvements of the company-owned restaurants and other
fixed asset additions and cash received on notes receivable of $79,000.

Cash used in financing activities of $70,000 represents repayments of notes
payable and obligations under capital leases.

In connection with the acquisition of Miami Subs, Nathan's is implementing its
plans to permanently close up to 18 underperforming company-owned restaurants.
Accordingly, Nathan's expects to incur estimated future cash payments,
consisting primarily of future lease payments including costs and expenses
associated with terminating such leases. At present Nathan's is unable to
reasonably estimate these total costs, however, as of August 1, 2000, Nathan's
has terminated 6 of these leases at a total cost of $266,000. As of March 26,
2000, minimum annual lease payments for the remaining stores was approximately
$992,000, with remaining lease terms ranging from 2 years up to approximately 18
years.

Management believes that available cash, marketable investment securities, and
internally generated funds should provide sufficient capital to finance Nathan's
operations through fiscal 2001. Nathan's maintains a $5,000,000 uncommitted bank
line of credit and it has not borrowed any funds to date under this line of
credit.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

Certain statements contained in this report are forward-looking statements which
are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could
cause Nathan's actual results and performance to differ materially from those
described or implied in the forward looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties, many of which are not within Nathan's control, include, but are
not limited to economic, weather, legislative and business conditions; the

purchase our primary food and paper products at reasonable prices; no material
increases in the minimum wage; and Nathan's ability to attract competent
restaurant, and managerial personnel.

May 25, 2000

Mr. Donald L. Perlyn
President
Miami Subs Corporation
6300 NW 31st Avenue
Ft. Lauderdale, FL  33309

Dear Mr. Perlyn:

This letter will confirm the agreement ("AGREEMENT") between Coca-Cola North
America Fountain, an operating unit of The Coca-Cola Company ("COMPANY"), and
Miami Subs Corporation, ("MSC") concerning the availability and promotion of
Company's Fountain Beverages within the fifty United States. As used in this
Agreement, the term "CORPORATE OUTLETS" means all outlets in which Fountain
Beverages are sold that are owned or operated by MSC; restaurants operated
under the Miami Subs Grill and Mr. Submarine trademarks and outlets operated
under another concept name are included in the definition. The parties
acknowledge that there are currently eleven Corporate Outlets. The term
"FRANCHISED OUTLETS" means all Miami Subs Grill and all Mr. Submarine outlets
owned or operated by authorized franchisees and/or licensees of MSC
(collectively, the "FRANCHISEES"), as well as any other type of outlet in which
Fountain Beverages are served that is owned or operated by a Franchisee. The
terms "MSC SYSTEM" and the "SYSTEM OUTLETS" refer to Corporate and Franchised
Outlets in the aggregate, including any Corporate Outlets that MSC opens or
acquires, or any additional Franchised Outlets that MSC authorizes after this
Agreement is signed. Outlets acquired by MSC that are governed by another
agreement with Company that is validly assigned to MSC as part of the
acquisition will not be considered Corporate Outlets and will not be covered by
this Agreement until the prior agreement with Company expires or is terminated
by mutual agreement of the parties. The term "PARTICIPATING FRANCHISEES" refers
to those Franchisees that elect to participate in Company's program and the
term "PARTICIPATING FRANCHISED OUTLETS" refers to the outlets owned by
Participating Franchisees.

When used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set
forth below:

- -    "BEVERAGES" means all soft drinks and other non-alcoholic beverages,
     including sports drinks, frozen beverages, juices, juice-containing
     drinks, punches, ades, bar mixers and iced teas, whether carbonated or
     non-carbonated, but "Beverages" does not include (i) non-flavored bottled
     water, iced tea, lemonade, and flavored waters that are proprietary to MSC
     and/or its affiliates; and (ii) hot chocolate, tea or coffee brewed on the
     premises, other hot beverages, smoothies, and/or any dairy products.

- -    "FOUNTAIN BEVERAGES" means all Beverages that are (i) prepared from syrup,
     powder or concentrate, and (ii) dispensed on the premises from post-mix or
     frozen Beverage dispensers, bubblers, bar guns and similar equipment.

<PAGE>   2

- -    "BOTTLE/CAN BEVERAGES" means all Beverages packaged in bottles, cans or
     other containers, excluding only those Beverages defined as "Fountain
     Beverages."

- -    "FOUNTAIN SYRUP(s)" means the post-mix syrup required to produce finished
     Fountain Beverages, but does not include other forms of concentrate or
     syrup for frozen beverages that is not purchased from Company but from a
     full service supplier of frozen beverages.

The program described in this Agreement represents the entire program to be
provided to MSC by Company during the Term, and is in lieu of any other
generally available program(s). When executed by both parties hereto, this
Agreement will supersede all prior oral and written agreements between the
parties governing the subject matter of this Agreement, including specifically,
that certain letter of agreement between Company and MSC dated August 14, 1992
(the "1992 Agreement"). The parties specifically agree that the 1992 Agreement
will be terminated upon execution of this Agreement and each party is released
by the other from any and all claims, causes of action, demands, or other
liability under the 1992 Agreement.

1.        TERM.

          The term of this Agreement (the "TERM") will begin on the first day
          of the month in which it is signed and will continue for a period of
          six (6) years (as defined in Section 2(g) below) or until the
          Participating MSC System (as defined below) has purchased 6,811,470
          gallons of Company's Fountain Syrups, whichever occurs later;
          provided, however, that MSC may "buy-out" the remaining Term of this
          Agreement at any time after the fifth (5th) anniversary of this
          Agreement by payment of those sums listed as Damages in Section 12.b
          below; provided, however, funds paid under the Customer Development
          Program Fund shall not be included in the buyout calculation.

2.        AVAILABILITY AND PROMOTION OF COMPANY'S FOUNTAIN BEVERAGES.

          a.   The mutual objective of the parties is to unify the MSC System
               so that Company's brands are served and promoted at all outlets
               throughout the MSC System.  Accordingly, subject to the
               exceptions noted below, on a continuous basis during the Term,
               MSC will serve to consumers in the Corporate Outlets a Fountain
               Beverages brand set consisting solely of Company's Fountain
               Beverages and will vigorously promote the sale and/or use of
               Company's Fountain Beverages throughout the MSC System.  A core
               brand set of Fountain Beverages consisting of Coca-Cola(R)
               classic (or Coke(R)), diet Coke(R) and Sprite(R) must be served
               in all Corporate Outlets and MSC will make Company its Beverage
               consultant in selecting from Company's available Fountain
               Beverages those additional Fountain Beverages needed to complete
               the brand set for individual Corporate Outlets.

               For the Term of this Agreement, MSC's list of approved Fountain
               Beverage Suppliers for the MSC System shall list only Company's
               brands (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement);
               however, MSC shall have the sole

                                       2

<PAGE>   3

               and exclusive right to determine when and whether to enforce or
               waive such requirement as to a particular Franchisee. MSC agrees
               to take reasonable steps, in its sole discretion, to convince
               the Franchisees to comply. Company further agrees that it is
               not, and shall not be deemed, a third party beneficiary or other
               interested party in the relationship between MSC and its
               franchisees.

          b.   When used in this Agreement, the terms "COMPETITIVE BEVERAGES,"
               "COMPETITIVE BOTTLE/CAN BEVERAGES" and "COMPETITIVE FOUNTAIN
               BEVERAGES" mean, respectively, any Beverage, Bottle/Can Beverage
               or Fountain Beverage that is not marketed under a brand name or
               trademark owned by or licensed for use to The Coca-Cola Company.
               MSC acknowledges that the sale of Competitive Bottle/Can
               Beverages would diminish the Fountain Beverages availability
               rights granted to Company, and therefore agrees to provide
               Company with a right of first refusal as to all Bottle/Can or
               pre-mix Beverages for which Company has a product in the
               category. For purposes of this Agreement, the "RIGHT OF FIRST
               REFUSAL" means that MSC shall not accept an offer from a
               Beverage supplier other than Company or its authorized bottlers
               with respect to the provision of such Beverages unless it has
               first offered Company the right to supply such Bottle/Can or
               pre-mix Beverages and allowed Company to meet the competitive
               offer.  In no event shall MSC enter into a contract with another
               Beverage supplier for any Competitive Bottle/Can or pre-mix
               Beverage availability, merchandising, promotional and/or
               advertising rights that are more favorable to the Competitive
               Beverage supplier than those previously offered to Company.  Any
               sale by a Corporate Outlet of Competitive Fountain, Bottle/Can
               or pre-mix Beverages not specifically permitted by this
               Agreement constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

          c.   In the event that compliance with the Beverage availability
               requirements set forth in this Agreement would constitute a
               breach of a binding, pre-existing contract with another Fountain
               Beverage supplier, or if MSC in its capacity as a franchisee of
               another food service company is not permitted to serve Company's
               Fountain Beverages by the terms of its franchise agreement with
               such other franchisor, such occurrence will not be considered a
               default of this Agreement. This Agreement does, however,
               obligate MSC to make Company's Fountain Beverages available once
               it is contractually able to do so.

          d.   In addition, MSC will strongly endorse Company's Fountain
               Beverages for sale in the Franchised Outlets, and will use
               reasonable efforts, with due regard for franchisees' rights
               under their franchise agreement and consistent with the
               requirements of federal and state antitrust law, to strongly
               encourage the Franchised Outlets to make available Company's
               Fountain Beverages in their outlets. Franchisees will not be
               deemed to have elected to participate in Company's program until
               they have executed a written agreement with Company. In this
               Agreement, the terms "PARTICIPATING MSC SYSTEM" and

                                       3

<PAGE>   4


               "PARTICIPATING SYSTEM" shall refer to all Corporate Outlets and
               all Participating Franchised Outlets.

          e.   While this Agreement does not require that Company's products be
               served in any Co-branded Outlet, MSC agrees to strongly
               encourage the use of Company's products in both the "Miami Subs
               Grill" and "Mr. Submarine," and other portions of a Co-branded
               Outlet. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "CO-BRANDED
               OUTLET" means any outlet which houses more than one foodservice
               concept but dispenses Fountain Beverages by means of a common
               dispenser or dispensers. Outlets that do not share dispensers
               will not be considered "Co-branded" for purposes of this
               Agreement. The program available for Co-branded Outlets will be
               determined in the following manner:

               (1)  For those System Outlets that are co-branded with an outlet
                    that is owned or franchised by any subsidiary of Nathan's
                    Famous, Inc. ("NFI") (an "AFFILIATED CONCEPT"), the program
                    available for the entire Co-branded Outlet will be the
                    program available to the predominant concept located in the
                    Co-branded Outlet.  However, if no concept is predominant,
                    the parties will mutually agree on which of the programs
                    that are available to the applicable Affiliated Concepts
                    will be applied to the Co-branded Outlet, taking into
                    consideration the nature of the combined entity. If the
                    parties are unable to agree on a program for such outlet,
                    MSC will advise as to which Affiliated Concept will apply.

               (2)  Should NFI develop a standard co-branded concept that
                    combines two or more Affiliated Concepts, the provisions
                    set forth in part (1) above will not apply. Instead, MSC,
                    NFI and the applicable affiliated entity will develop a new
                    program that is appropriate to the needs and commercial
                    circumstances of the new co-branded concept.

                    For those System Outlets that are co-branded with a
                    non-Affiliated Concept that is eligible to receive a
                    marketing program from Company, the program available for
                    the entire Co-branded Outlet will be the program available
                    to the predominant concept located in the Co-branded
                    Outlet, unless prohibited by Company's agreement with the
                    non-Affiliated Concept. If so prohibited, or if there is no
                    dominant concept, the program set forth in this Agreement
                    will be available to the Co-branded Outlet.

               (3)  For those System Outlets that are co-branded with a
                    non-Affiliated Concept that is not eligible to receive a
                    marketing program from Company, the program set forth in
                    this Agreement will be available to the Co-branded Outlet.

          f.   The Participating System must purchase from Company or any
               authorized wholesaler of Company's Fountain Syrups during the
               Term a minimum of 6,811,470 gallons of Company's Fountain Syrups
               (the "VOLUME COMMITMENT"). The parties currently anticipate that
               the Volume Commitment will be purchased according to the
               following schedule:
<TABLE>
<S>                          <C>
               Year One             589,485 gallons

               Year Two             716,437 gallons

               Year Three           924,008 gallons

               Year Four          1,195,628 gallons

               Year Five          1,511,036 gallons

               Year Six           1,874,876 gallons
                                  -----------------
               Total:             6,811,470 gallons
</TABLE>
          g.   When used in this Agreement, the term "YEAR" means each of the
               consecutive twelve (12) month periods during the Term, which
               begin on the first day of the month in which this Agreement is
               signed.

          h.   Company will make available to MSC Company's Fountain Syrups at
               prices that are no higher than the lowest price for the same
               package and flavors offered to other Quick Serve Restaurant
               ("QSR") customers using the same method of purchasing and
               distribution as MSC. MSC may also elect to purchase Company's
               Fountain Syrups from Company's authorized bottlers or from other
               authorized distributors of Company's Fountain Syrups at prices
               established by such bottlers or distributors.

3.        QUALIFICATION FOR AND CALCULATION OF FUNDING; PAYMENT OF SYSTEM
FUNDING.

          a.   To qualify for funding under this Agreement, MSC and the
               Franchised Outlets must provide proof of performance of the
               activities required under the specific programs set forth
               herein. Funding paid on a per gallon basis will be paid only on
               the volume of those outlets that have performed the qualifying
               activities. If for any reason Company elects to pay funding
               before the MSC System has purchased syrup volume sufficient to
               earn such sums or before the required proof of performance has
               been provided, that payment represents a prepayment of funding
               which must be refunded in the event of early termination or at
               the end of the Term if any portion of the prepaid sum remains
               unearned.

          b.   For purposes of calculating funding, Fountain Syrup purchased
               from Company under its direct bill or agent bill programs will
               be automatically counted, without the submission of any
               additional documentation by MSC or the Franchised Outlets. If,
               however, MSC or the Franchised Outlets purchase syrup not from
               Company but directly from authorized distributors of

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

               Company's Fountain Syrup, they will be required to submit
               documentation of such purchases in order to qualify for funding.

          c.   Fountain Syrup will not be considered to have been "purchased"
               until it has been paid for in full. Accordingly, any funding
               based on the purchase of Fountain Syrup will be due and payable
               only to the extent that MSC and the Franchised Outlets have paid
               for such syrup.

          d.   Company shall not be obligated to pay to MSC any of the funding
               that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement to
               the extent that MSC is in default under Company's credit terms
               or on any financial obligation to Company, and Company may
               offset any arrearage against funding that would otherwise be
               payable to MSC under this Agreement; provided however, that
               Company shall not set off any amount due to MSC without
               providing MSC written notice of default and thirty (30) days to
               cure same and MSC has failed to cure the default.  In the event
               that the funding earned pursuant to this Agreement is
               insufficient to pay any charges for which this Agreement
               provides for a deduction from earned funding, MSC agrees to pay
               any such charges at the end of the Term or upon any earlier
               termination.

          e.   Brand Funds, Philanthropic Funds, Marketing Allowances and
               Promotional Support Funds will be paid directly to the Miami
               Subs Advertising Fund on behalf of the Participating System. All
               other funding, specifically, the Consumer Communication Fund,
               the Customer Development Fund and the Multi-Brand Fund, will be
               paid under this Agreement to MSC to develop and implement
               activities designed to benefit the entire Participating System,
               including specifically Participating Franchisees, and to
               increase the sale of Company's Fountain Beverages throughout the
               System.

          f.   MSC agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless from any and
               all claims or other liabilities arising out of Company's payment
               of System funds, per this Agreement, to MSC and/or the Miami
               Subs Advertising Fund (instead of to one or more particular
               franchisees).

4.       MARKETING ALLOWANCES.

         a.    Company's Marketing and Cooperative Media Advertising Program
               will pay to the Miami Subs Advertising Fund an amount equal to
               seventy cents ($0.70) in Marketing Allowances for each gallon of
               Fountain Syrup the Participating System Outlets purchase during
               the Term.  To qualify for funding under this program, MSC agrees
               to prominently display in all Corporate Outlets, and to strongly
               advise and use commercially reasonable efforts to require
               franchisees operating Participating System Outlets that they
               also must display approved renditions of Company's trademarks on
               all menus, menu boards and point-of-sale materials where
               Beverages are featured.  Company recognizes that MSC cannot
               ensure 100% compliance within the MSC System and Company will
               work with MSC to bring a non-

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

               compliant Participating System Outlet into compliance.  If MSC's
               and Company's commercially reasonable efforts are not successful
               and the Participating System Outlet still does not perform the
               required activities, then that Outlet will not be deemed a
               "Participating" System Outlet and MSC will not earn Marketing
               Allowances on that Outlet's volume.

          b.   Marketing Allowances will be advanced to the Miami Subs
               Advertising Fund upon execution of this Agreement and on an
               annual basis thereafter.  The amount of each such advance will
               be the amount that Company then estimates will be earned by the
               Participating System during the twelve-month period for which
               the advance is made.  At the end of each advance period, the
               Participating System's actual earnings under this program will
               be reconciled against the amount advanced.  If the
               reconciliation indicates that additional Marketing Allowances
               are due to MSC, such additional sum will be paid to the Miami
               Subs Advertising Fund within thirty (30) days after the
               reconciliation is complete.  If, however, the reconciliation
               indicates that an overpayment has been made, the overpayment
               will be deducted from Company's payment of Marketing Allowances
               or other funding earned by the Participating MSC System in the
               next Year and, if necessary, in subsequent Years.

5.        PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT FUNDS.

          a.   Company will pay to the Miami Subs Advertising Fund, on behalf
               of the Participating MSC System, funding at the per gallon rate
               of forty-four cents ($0.44) based on purchases of Company's
               Fountain Syrups by the Participating MSC System.  Funding is
               provided to support the development and execution of promotional
               activities featuring Company's Fountain Beverages and utilizing
               approved renditions of Company's trademarks in a prominent
               fashion.  To qualify for funding, the Participating System
               Outlet must participate in a minimum of three (3) mutually
               agreed upon activities each Year.  The specific activities to be
               funded by this program will be mutually agreed upon and set
               forth in writing on an annual basis and shall include combo
               meals and in-store signage featuring Company's Fountain
               Beverages, crew incentive programs, and other
               Coca-Cola(R) merchandising programs.

          b.   Payment will be advanced to the Miami Subs Advertising Fund upon
               execution of this Agreement and at the beginning of each Year
               thereafter. The amount of each such advance will be the amount
               that Company then estimates will be earned by the Participating
               System during the Year for which the advance is made, and will
               be reconciled in accordance with the procedure set forth in
               Section 4.b. above for Marketing Allowances.

6.        CONSUMER COMMUNICATION FUND.

          Consumer Communication Funds in the total amount of One Million One
          Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($1,190,000) will be advanced to MSC
          upon execution of this Agreement. To qualify for Consumer
          Communication Funds MSC must (i) recommend a mutually-agreed upon cup
          set to all Participating System Outlets that includes no cup smaller
          than a 16 oz. size, with the exception of a smaller kid's cup; and
          (ii) redesign for and install in all Participating System Outlets
          drive-thru, on-premise, and drive-thru pre-sell menu boards. Consumer
          Communication Funds will be deemed fully earned over the course of
          the Agreement and not subject to refund if this Agreement is
          terminated after the end of Year Two.

7.        PHILANTHROPIC FUND.

          a.   During each of Years One through Six of the Term, Company will
               provide to the Miami Subs Advertising Fund an annual
               Philanthropic Fund of Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($55,000) per
               year. Funding is provided to support the development and
               execution of promotional activities designed to benefit mutually
               agreed upon charitable organizations such as the Boys and Girls
               Clubs of America. Any charitable activities funded hereby must
               feature Company's Fountain Beverages and use approved renditions
               of Company's trademarks in a prominent fashion.

          b.   The Philanthropic Fund will be advanced to the Miami Subs
               Advertising Fund upon execution of this Agreement and at the
               beginning of each Year thereafter.

8.        BRAND FUNDS.

          Upon execution of this Agreement, Company shall advance One Million
          Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,800,000) to the Miami Subs
          Advertising Fund as advance payment of Brand Funds, which shall be
          considered earned when the Participating System purchases 1,714,286
          gallons of Company's Fountain Syrups. After the amount of earned
          Brand Funds exceed Company's initial $1,800,000 advance, Company will
          pay additional amounts at the per gallon rate of One Dollar and five
          cents ($1.05), in advance, at the beginning of each Year to MSC's
          Advertising Fund based on the amount that Company then estimates will
          be earned by the Participating System during the Year for which the
          advance is made. Payment will be reconciled in accordance with the
          procedure set forth above for Marketing Allowances. To qualify for
          this fund, MSC agrees to (i) conduct research to determine the most
          appropriate brand set based on consumer trends, geography and
          strategy; and (ii) implement in all Participating System Outlets the
          recommended brand set after the research has been completed; and
          (iii) strongly endorse implementation of the recommended brand set in
          all Franchised Outlets.

9.        CUSTOMER DEVELOPMENT FUND.

          Company will provide to MSC a Customer Development Fund in the total
          amount of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) upon execution of
          this Agreement. Such funding is provided on a one time basis, in
          consideration of MSC's commitment to develop a marketing campaign to
          link CCF's Fountain Beverages with the "Miami Subs Grill" and "Mr.
          Submarine" names and to activate such campaign throughout the Term of
          this Agreement. This amount will be fully earned over the course of
          the Agreement and not subject to refund upon termination or
          expiration of this Agreement.

          Multi-Brand Funds in the total amount of Five Hundred Thousand
          Dollars ($500,000) will be advanced to MSC upon execution of this
          Agreement. Funding is provided to offset the cost of developing joint
          programs with the franchisors of the "Nathan's Famous" and "Kenny
          Rogers Roasters" brands.

11.       EQUIPMENT AND SERVICE PROGRAMS.

          The following programs relating to post-mix dispensing equipment for
          Fountain Beverages will be provided to MSC for the Corporate Outlets
          and Participating Franchisees during the Term. The programs described
          below are not applicable to frozen Beverage dispensers, ice makers or
          water filters.

          a.   Equipment.

               Company will provide for all Participating System Outlets' use
               without charge during the Term the post-mix dispensing equipment
               owned by Company that is currently installed in the
               Participating System Outlets. The dispensing equipment provided
               by Company (including any Bag-in-Box pumps and racks) will at
               all times remain the property of Company and is subject to the
               terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement attached as Exhibit
               A, but no lease payment will be charged. To the extent that any
               of the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease Agreement are
               in conflict with the terms and conditions set forth in this
               Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

          b.   Service Program.

               Each Participating System Outlet may use Company's Service
               Network without charge for up to seven (7) regular mechanical
               repair calls for post-mix dispensers each Year. These calls are
               calculated on a per outlet basis and may not be aggregated. MSC
               or the Participating Franchisee, as applicable, will be invoiced
               at Company's actual cost for other types of service calls or for
               regular mechanical repair calls in excess of those available
               under this program.

12.       TERMINATION AND DAMAGES.

          a.   Termination.

               When fully executed, this Agreement will constitute a binding
               obligation of both parties which may be canceled or terminated
               only as set forth herein.

               i.   Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a
                    material breach of the terms of this Agreement by the other
                    party.  For purposes of this provision, the term "material
                    breach" shall include, but not be limited to, any action
                    taken by or on behalf of a party that substantially impairs
                    either party's ability to perform its obligations under
                    this Agreement.  The breaching party shall be given written
                    notice of breach and allowed ninety (90) days from its
                    receipt of notice (the "Grace Period") to remedy such
                    breach.  Should the breaching party fail to remedy the
                    breach within the Grace Period, the non-breaching party may
                    elect to terminate the Agreement by providing thirty (30)
                    days' prior written notice of termination.  Such notice
                    period shall commence no earlier than the end of the Grace
                    Period.

               ii.  Company, at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement
                    if there is any transfer or conveyance of a substantial
                    portion of the stock or assets of MSC that (a) is not in
                    the ordinary course of business, and (b) is to a transferee
                    that is a competitor to Company. Should Company elect to
                    exercise its rights under this Section 12.a.ii, MSC will
                    not be obligated to pay to Company the damages specified in
                    subpart "ii" of Subsection 12.b. below, but must return all
                    equipment owned by Company.

          b.   DAMAGES.

               In the event of any termination or cancellation of this
               Agreement, all Corporate Outlets shall surrender to Company all
               equipment owned by Company. Further, in the event of any
               cancellation or termination of this Agreement other than a
               termination as provided in Subsection 12.a.ii., MSC shall pay
               (or, in the case of the Miami Subs Advertising Fund, cause said
               Advertising Fund to pay) to Company all of the following
               damages, which the parties agree do not constitute a penalty:

               i.   The following:

                    (1)  Any prepaid but unearned Marketing Allowances,
                         Promotional Support Funds, Brand Funds, Multi-Brand
                         Funds and Philanthropic Funds; plus

                                       10

<PAGE>   11

                    (2)  A pro rata refund of the Consumer Communication Funds
                         earned at the rate of $49,583.33 per month if MSC
                         terminates the Agreement before the end of Year Two.

               ii.  Interest on all sums due to Company under this Subsection
                    12.b, at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or such
                    lesser percentage as is required by law, accrued from the
                    date funds were paid or costs were incurred, through the
                    date of repayment.

               If this Agreement is terminated by either party for breach under
               Section 12.a.i., the list of damages above shall not affect the
               right of either party to pursue any other remedies or damages to
               which it may be entitled.

13.       ADDITIONAL TERMS.

          a.   AUTHORIZATION.

               Company and MSC each represent and warrant to the other that it
               has the unrestricted right and is authorized to enter into and
               perform the obligations under this Agreement.

          b.   WAIVER.

               No delay, waiver, omission, or forbearance on the part of either
               party to exercise any right, option, duty or power arising out
               of any breach or default by the other party under any of the
               terms, provisions, covenants or conditions hereof, shall
               constitute a waiver by the non-defaulting party to enforce any
               such right, option, duty or power as against the other party, or
               as to subsequent breach or default by the non-defaulting party.
               Subsequent acceptance by the non-defaulting party of any
               payments due to it hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver
               by the non-defaulting party of any preceding breach by the other
               party of any terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this
               Agreement.

          c.   CONFIDENTIALITY.

               Neither party shall disclose to any third party without the
               prior written consent of the other party, any information
               concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
               hereby, except for disclosure to any employees, attorneys,
               accountants and consultants involved in assisting with the
               negotiation and closing of the contemplated transactions, or
               unless such disclosure is required by law. A party that makes a
               permitted disclosure must obtain assurances from the party to
               whom disclosure is made that such party will keep confidential
               the information disclosed.

          d.   FRANCHISEES.

               Company understands and acknowledges that MSC cannot and does
               not guarantee the obligations (financial and otherwise) of its
               Franchisees, and Company shall not look to MSC, MSC's affiliates
               (excluding Franchisees that are affiliates of MSC), the Miami
               Subs Advertising Fund, or their respective officers, directors,
               agents, employees, and/or shareholders for payment of any sums
               due from the Franchisees.

         e.    DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

               If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or the
               breach thereof, and if said dispute cannot be settled through
               direct discussions, the parties agree to attempt to settle the
               dispute in an amicable manner by mediation administered by the
               American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation
               Rules. Thereafter, any unresolved controversy or claim arising
               out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof,
               shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American
               Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial
               Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the
               arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
               thereof. Any arbitration brought under the terms of this
               agreement shall be conducted in the following manner: Company
               shall appoint one person as an arbitrator and MSC shall appoint
               one person as an arbitrator. The two arbitrators so chosen shall
               select a third impartial arbitrator within ten (10) days of the
               date on which the second arbitrator is selected. If the
               arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree
               upon the third arbitrator, such arbitrator shall be selected by
               the American Arbitration Association. The three arbitrators
               shall determine all questions presented to them by majority
               vote. The decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be
               final and conclusive on the parties hereto.

          f.   NOTICES.

               Any notice required by this Agreement shall be directed to the
               addresses used herein unless otherwise specified in writing and
               shall be given by personal delivery, certified or registered
               mail, or facsimile (with confirmation of receipt) or by other
               means which affords the sender evidence of delivery or of

               services, to the respective parties at the addresses designated
               on the signature page of this Agreement unless and until a
               different address has been designated by written notice to the
               other party. Any notice by a means that affords the sender
               evidence of delivery or rejected delivery shall be deemed to
               have been given at the date and time of receipt or attempted
               delivery. Notice given by facsimile will be deemed received on
               the first business day following the day on which the facsimile

          g.   FORCE MAJEURE.

               Either party is excused from performance hereunder to the extent
               such nonperformance results from any acts of God, strikes, war,
               riots, acts of governmental authorities, shortage of raw
               materials or any other cause outside the reasonable control of
               the nonperforming party.

          h.   REDISTRIBUTION.

               MSC agrees not to resell Company's Fountain Syrups or act as a
               wholesaler or distributor of Company's Fountain Syrups, unless
               expressly authorized by Company in writing.

          i.   ACQUISITION OF OR DIVESTITURE BY MSC.

               In the event that a third party merges with, acquires a
               controlling interest in the stock of, or all or substantially
               all of the assets of MSC or is successor to MSC, and Company
               does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
               12 above, MSC shall elect either to (i) cause the acquiring
               party to ratify this Agreement and assume all of the obligations
               of MSC hereunder, or (I) pay to Company all of the sums
               specified in Section 12, "Termination and Damages." This
               Agreement shall not be otherwise assignable without the express
               written consent of Company, which shall not be unreasonably
               withheld. Further, if at any time during the Term MSC divests
               one or more Corporate Outlets or terminates any of its franchise
               agreements, MSC agrees

                                       13

<PAGE>   14

               to provide Company with timely notice of such event. If MSC
               fails to provide timely notice subsequent to termination, it
               will pay for any of Company's dispensing equipment located in
               the divested or closed outlet that Company is unsuccessful in
               recovering.

         j.    TRADEMARKS.

               Neither MSC nor Company shall make use of any of the other
               party's trademarks or logos without the prior written consent of
               that party, and all use of the other party's trademarks shall
               inure to the benefit of that party.

                                  EXHIBIT "A"
                  COCA-COLA FOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT LEASE AGREEMENT


1.   LEASE AGREEMENT AND TERM. The Coca-Cola Company, through its Coca-Cola USA
Fountain division, ("Company") hereby leases to the account identified on the
reverse side ("Lessee") all fountain beverage dispensing equipment described on
the reverse side (the "Equipment"), subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Lease Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the
Equipment shall include all permanent merchandising, menu boards, lines,
fittings, carbonators, regulators, valves, refrigeration units, and bag-in-box
pumps and racks installed by Company on Lessee's premises. All Equipment is
leased for an initial period of one (1) year, commencing on the scheduled
installation date set forth on the reverse side (the "Commencement Date"), and
will continue on a year to year basis thereafter without further notice. This
Lease Agreement may be terminated by either party on any annual anniversary of
the Commencement Date by sending the other party notice of termination not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current year of the term. If
this Lease is terminated for any reason prior to 60 months from the
Commencement Date, other than a termination by Company pursuant to this
section, upon termination Lessee shall reimburse Company for the actual costs
of installation and removal and the standard costs for refurbishing such
Equipment incurred by Company. Following notice of termination, the terms of
this Lease will continue in effect until the Equipment has been removed from
Lessee's premises.

2.   RENT FOR THE EQUIPMENT. Lessee shall pay to Company the amount set forth
on the reverse side plus all applicable sales and use taxes, if any, as rent
for the Equipment. Rent will be due monthly. At Company's discretion, Company
may utilize funds due Lessee to offset amounts due Company under this
Agreement. If Lessee fails to pay, within 10 days of its due date, rent or any
other amount required by this Lease to be paid to Company, Lessee shall pay to
Company a late charge equal to five percent (5%) per month of such overdue
payment, or such lesser amount that Company is entitled to receive under any
applicable law.

3.   TITLE TO THE EQUIPMENT. Title to the Equipment is, and will at all times
remain, vested in Company. Lessee will have no right, title, or interest in or
to the Equipment, except the right to quiet use of the Equipment in the
ordinary course of its business as provided in this Lease. Lessee shall execute
such title documents, financing statements, fixture filings, certificates and
such other instruments and documents as Company shall reasonably request to
ensure to Company's satisfaction the protection of Company's title to the
Equipment and Company's interests and benefits under this Lease. Lessee shall
not transfer, pledge, lease, sell, hypothecate, mortgage, assign or in any
other way encumber or dispose of any of the Equipment. THE PARTIES AGREE, AND
LESSEE WARRANTS, THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS, AND WILL AT ALL TIMES REMAIN, PERSONAL
PROPERTY OF COMPANY NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE EQUIPMENT OR ANY PART THEREOF MAY
NOW BE, OR HEREAFTER BECOME, IN ANY MANNER AFFIXED OR ATTACHED TO, OR EMBEDDED
IN, OR PERMANENTLY RESTING UPON, REAL PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS ON REAL
PROPERTY. Lessee may perform ordinary maintenance and repairs to the Equipment
as required by this Lease, but shall not make any alterations, additions, or
improvements to the Equipment without the prior written consent of Company. All
parts added to the Equipment through alterations, repairs, additions or
improvements will constitute accessions to, and will be considered an item of,
the Equipment and title to such will immediately vest in Company. Lessee agrees
that Company may transfer or assign all or any part of Company's right, title
and interest in or to any Equipment (in whole or in part) and this Lease, and
any amounts due or to become due, to any third party ("Assignee") for any
reason. Upon receipt of written notice from Company of such assignment, Lessee
shall perform all its obligations with respect to any such Equipment for the
benefit of the applicable Assignee, and, if so directed, shall pay all amounts
due or to become due hereunder directly to the applicable Assignee or to any
other party designated by such Assignee.

4.   USE OF EQUIPMENT. Lessee acknowledges that the rent set forth herein does
not fully compensate Company for its expenses concerning its research and
development efforts designed to improve fountain equipment or in providing the
Equipment to Lessee, and that Company provides the Equipment to Lessee for the
purpose of dispensing Company products. Therefore, Lessee agrees that if the
Equipment is a fountain beverage dispenser, then the Equipment will be used for
the purpose of dispensing fountain beverage products of Company, such as
Coca-Cola(R) classic (or Coke(R)), diet Coke(R) and Sprite(R), with the
understanding that, if the dispenser has four (4) or more valves, one (1) valve
may be used at Lessee's option for dispensing a non-Company, non-cola fountain
beverage product; provided, that no product of PepsiCo, Inc. or of an affiliate
thereof may be dispensed. In accordance with Company's Fair Share Policy,
Company will have the right to additional rent if any valve is used for a
non-Company beverage (including water), at a rate of not less than $40 per
year. If the Equipment is a pump for bag-in-box or similar container, such pump
may be used only to dispense Company products. If the Equipment is other than a
fountain beverage dispenser or a pump, then it will be used only in a location
where fountain beverage products of Company are served and where no fountain
beverage products of PepsiCo, Inc. or an affiliate of PepsiCo, Inc. are served.
This Section 4 shall not apply within the State of Wisconsin.

5.   INSPECTION AND NOTIFICATION. Company shall have the right during Lessee's
regular business hours to inspect the Equipment at Lessee's premises or
wherever the Equipment may be located and to review all records that relate to
the Equipment. Lessee shall promptly notify Company of all details arising out
of any change in location of the Equipment, any alleged encumbrances thereon or
any accident allegedly resulting from the use or operation thereof.

6.   WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT COMPANY IS NOT A
MANUFACTURER OF THE EQUIPMENT AND THAT COMPANY HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OF
ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER PERTAINING TO THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS PERFORMANCE, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES
RELATING TO THE DESIGN, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY, MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP
OF THE EQUIPMENT OR ITS PERFORMANCE, OR ANY WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE OR
INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO PATENT RIGHTS, IF ANY, PERTAINING
TO THE EQUIPMENT. COMPANY SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, ANY
DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES, OR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM THE DELIVERY, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONS,
SERVICE OR USE OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR OTHERWISE.

7.   TAXES. Lessee shall pay all assessments, license fees, taxes (including
sales, use, excise, personal property, ad valorem, stamp, documentary and other
taxes) and all other governmental charges, fees, dines or penalties whatsoever,
whether payable by Company or Lessee, on or relating to the Equipment or the
use, registration, rental, shipment, transportation, delivery, or operation
thereof, and on or relating to this Lease.

8.   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. If Lessee elects to use one valve to dispense a
non-Company beverage pursuant to Section 4, Company may charge for its costs of
servicing such valve in accordance with Company's Fair Share Policy at a rate
of not less than $25 per year. Lessee shall, at its expense, keep the Equipment
in good condition, repair, and working order. Lessee shall pay all costs
incurred in connection with the shipment, use, operation, ownership, or
possession of the Equipment during the term of this Lease. Lessee's sole
recourse against Company with respect to service provided by Company or its
agents to the Equipment is that Company will correct any defective workmanship
at no additional charge to Lessee, provided that Company is given prompt
notification of any defective workmanship. Company shall not be otherwise
liable for negligent acts or omissions committed in regard to maintenance or
repair of the Equipment and assumes no responsibility for incidental,
consequential or special damages occasioned by such negligent acts or
omissions.

9.   RISK OF LOSS. All risk of loss, including damage, theft or destruction, to
each item of Equipment will be borne by Lessee. No such loss, damage, theft or
destruction of Equipment, in whole or in part, will impair the obligations of
Lessee under this Lease, all of which will continue in full force and effect.

10.  INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify Company and Company's officers, agents,
employees, directors, shareholders, affiliates, successors, and assigns
(hereinafter the "Indemnified Parties") against, and hold Indemnified Parties
wholly harmless from, any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands,
damages, and liabilities of whatever nature, and all costs and expenses,
including without limitation Company's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
relating to or in any way arising out of (a) the ordering, delivery, rejection,
installation, purchase, leasing, maintenance, possession, use, operation,
control or disposition of the Equipment or any portion thereof; (b) any act or
omission of Lessee, including but not limited to any loss or damage to or
sustained by Company arising out of Lessee's failure to comply with all the
terms and conditions of this Lease; (c) any claims for liability in tort with
respect to the Equipment, excepting only to the degree such claims are the
result of Company's negligent or willful acts. The provisions of this Section
10 will survive termination and expiration of this Lease.

11.  DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following will constitute a
"Default" by Lessee: (a) nonpayment by Lessee when due of any amount due and
payable under this Lease; (b) failure of Lessee to comply with any provision of
this Lease, and failure of Lessee to remedy, cure, or remove such failure
within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof from Company; (c)
any statement, representation, or warrant of Lessee to Company, at any time,
that is untrue as of the date made; (d) Lessee's becoming insolvent or unable
to pay its debts as they mature, or Lessee making an assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or any proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, being
instituted by or against Lessee alleging that Lessee is insolvent or unable to
pay its debts as they mature; (e) appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for any of the Equipment or for
any property in which Lessee has an interest; (f) seizure of any of the
Equipment; (g) default by Lessee under the terms of any note, document,
agreement or instrument evidencing an obligation of Lessee to Company or to any
affiliate of Company, whether now existing or hereafter arising; (h) Lessee
taking any action with respect to the liquidation, dissolution, winding up or
otherwise discontinuing the conduct of its business; (i) Lessee transferring
all or substantially all of its assets to a third party; or (j) the transfer,
conveyance, assignment or pledge of a controlling interest or ownership of
Lessee to a third party without Company's prior written consent.

12.  OPTION TO ACCELERATE AT WILL. If at any time Company in good faith
believes that the prospect for Lessee's payment or other performance under this
Lease is impaired, Company may demand immediate payment of all rents due and
scheduled to come due during the remainder of the Lease term. All future rent
accelerated under this or any other provision of this Agreement will be
discounted to present value, which will be computed at a discount rate of five
(5) percent. Failure of Lessee to make full payment within thirty (30) days of
its receipt of the demand for accelerated rent will constitute a "Default" by
Lessee as defined in Section 11.

13.  REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Default or at any time thereafter,
Company may terminate this Lease as to any or all items of Equipment, may enter
Lessee's premises and retake possession of the Equipment at Lessee's expense,
and will have all other remedies at law or in equity for breach of the Lease.
Lessee acknowledges that in the event of a breach of Sections 4 or 5 or a
failure or refusal of Lessee to relinquish possession of the Equipment in
breach of this section following termination or Default, Company's damages
would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and Lessee therefore agrees that
Company will have the right to an injunction in any court of competent
jurisdiction restraining said breach and granting Company the right to
immediate possession of the Equipment.

14.  LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. If Lessee acts in violation of the prohibitions
described in Section 3 of this Agreement, or is unable or unwilling to return
the Equipment to Company in good working order, normal usage wear and tear
excepted, at the expiration or termination of the Lease, Lessee shall pay as
liquidated damages the total of: (i) the amount of past-due lease payments,
discounted accelerated future lease payments, and the value of Company's
residual interest in the Equipment, plus (ii) all tax indemnities associated
with the Equipment to which Company would have been entitled if Lessee had
fully performed this Lease, plus (iii) costs, interest, and attorneys' fees
incurred by Company due to Lessee's violation of Section 3 or its failure to
return the Equipment to Company, minus (iv) any proceeds or offset from the
release or sale of the Equipment by Company.

15.  OTHER TERMS. No failure by Company to exercise and no delay in exercising
any of Company's rights hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or of any other rights. This Lease constitutes the
entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior oral and written
agreements between the parties governing the subject matter of this Lease;
provided, however, that if Company and Lessee have entered into a Marketing
Agreement into which this Lease is incorporated, to the extent that any of the
terms in this Lease conflict with the terms set forth in the Marketing
Agreement, the terms of the Marketing Agreement will control. No agreement will
be effective to amend this Lease unless such agreement is in writing and signed
by the party to be charged thereby. Any notices permitted or required by this
Lease will be in writing and mailed by certified mail or hand delivered,
addressed to the respective addresses of the parties on the reverse side of
this Lease. THIS LEASE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
Time is of the essence to each and all of the provisions of this Lease.
