2. Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights
Agreement is amended by deleting each reference to "Red Xxxxx International,
Inc." and inserting "Red Xxxxx Gourmet Burgers, Inc." in its place, and by
deleting each reference to "the Company" and inserting "the Holding Company" in
its place.
3. Ratification of Registration Rights Agreement.
(a) Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Registration
Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the Shareholders
hereby reaffirm all of the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as
amended by this Amendment.

Rights Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof", "herein", or words
of similar import referring to the Registration Rights Agreement, and each
reference in any other document to the Registration Rights Agreement,
"thereunder", "thereof", or words of similar import referring to the
Registration Rights Agreement, will mean and be a reference to the Registration
Rights Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado applicable to
