THIS AMENDMENT is made and entered into by and among Buffalo Wild Wings International, Inc.,
an Ohio corporation (“we,” “us” or “Franchisor”), and AMC Wings, LLC, a Michigan limited liability

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Franchisor and Developer are parties to an Area Development Agreement dated July 18,
2003 (the “ADA), pursuant to which Developer (as successor/transferee to MCA Enterprises, LLC) was
granted the right to develop and operate ten (10) Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants;
WHEREAS, as of the Effective Date, Developer has executed five (5) Buffalo Wild Wings
franchise agreements for individual restaurants, and has developed and currently operates three (3)
Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants;
WHEREAS, Developer requested the right to develop eight (8) additional Buffalo Wild
Wings restaurants under the ADA in the Development Territory as further specified in Section 4
below, for a total of eighteen (18) Restaurants; and
WHEREAS, Franchisor has agreed to this request, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree that the ADA
is amended as follows:
1. Section 2.A of the ADA is deleted and replaced with the following:
“We grant to you, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the right to

Territory”).”
2. Section 3.A of the ADA is amended to include the following language:
