Agreement;
WHEREAS, Seller
desires to transfer and assign to Buyer the right to receive one-half of the

THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises, which are not mere recitals hereto, but by this
reference are incorporated into this Agreement as a part hereof and of the
mutual
promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by
each of the Parties respectively, the Parties agree as follows:
A. Seller

right to receive fifty percent (50%) of all payments of the Royalty pursuant to
Section 3.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement commencing on and after March 1,
2004.
B. Sections
3.1 and 3.2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement are hereby amended by deleting in
their entirety the original language of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and substituting in
place thereof the language of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 as set forth below:
3. ROYALTY
3.1 Royalty. The
parties acknowledge that an Affiliate of Buyer employs Xxxxx pursuant to a
separate Employment Agreement dated October 5, 2001. During the employment of
Xxxxx with Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, each “OSS Restaurant”
shall
pay: (i)
to Seller a royalty from each “OSS Restaurant” in an amount equal to one-half of
one percent (.5%) of Adjusted Gross Sales (“Seller Royalty”) and (ii) to Buyer a
royalty from each “OSS Restaurant” in an amount equal to one-half of one percent
(.5%) of Adjusted Gross Sales (“Buyer Royalty”). For purposes of this Agreement
an “OSS Restaurant” shall mean any Bonefish Grill restaurant in which none of
(i) Seller, BGH, or any BG Principal; or (ii) any entity in which Seller, BGH or
any BG Principal or any immediate family member of a BG Principal owns an
ownership or beneficial interest, directly or indirectly through one or more
subsidiary entities; own, directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiary
entities, any equity interest (other than ownership of capital stock of Outback
Steakhouse, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Affiliate of Buyer). For purposes
of this Agreement “Adjusted Gross Sales” shall mean gross sales reduced by (i)
discounts and complimentary food and beverages, (ii) sales and other taxes and
surcharges collected for transmittal to taxing authorities, (iii) revenues
received from the sale of gift certificates until redeemed, and (iv) revenue
from catering activities done for charitable, marketing or community involvement
purposes. The Seller Royalty and Buyer Royalty shall be payable no less
frequently than quarterly.
3.2 Acquisition
of Seller Royalty. Upon
termination of Xxxxx’x employment with Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer), for
whatever reason other than a wrongful termination by the employer, Buyer shall
have the option to acquire the Seller Royalty, such acquisition to be effective
immediately upon the termination of Xxxxx’x employment with Buyer or Buyer’s
Affiliate, and Buyer shall pay to Seller, within forty-five (45) days of such
termination, a Seller Royalty acquisition fee in an amount equal to five (5)
times the amount of the Seller Royalty payable to Seller during the twelve full
calendar months immediately preceding the month of termination of Xxxxx’x
employment with Buyer (or any Affiliate of Buyer). In the event Xxxxx’x
employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer terminates prior to January 1,
2007, then solely for purposes of calculating the Seller Royalty acquisition fee
the Royalty paid by any OSS Restaurant that is open to the public for business
on the date of termination of Xxxxx’x employment but was not open to the public
for business for the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the month
of termination of Xxxxx’x employment shall be annualized in an equitable manner
determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion.
No form
of exercise of the option to acquire the Seller Royalty shall be required other
than payment of the Seller Royalty acquisition fee, as calculated by Buyer,
within forty five (45) days of the termination of Xxxxx’x employment with Buyer
or Buyer’s Affiliate. So long as the Seller Royalty acquisition fee as
calculated by Buyer is paid to or made available to Seller within such time
period, the acquisition of the Seller Royalty shall for all purposes be
effective as of the date of termination of Xxxxx’x employment with Buyer or
Buyer’s Affiliate and Xxxxx shall have no right to receive any of the Seller
Royalty for any period after the date of termination of Xxxxx’x employment.
C. The
foregoing amendment and restatement of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Asset
Purchase Agreement shall be effective for all purposes as of March 1,
2004.
D. Except as
set forth above, the Asset Purchase Agreement shall
remain unaffected, unchanged, unimpaired and in full force and effect as amended
herein.

Parties have signed and sealed this First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement
