condition, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the
authority, in its sole discretion, to authorize an additional bonus of an amount
not exceeding the amount lost by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ due to such event or condition. The
Compensation Committee also has the authority, in its sole discretion, to
authorize an additional bonus to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at each fiscal quarter end and fiscal
year end in the event the Company experiences superior financial or stock price
performance and the Compensation Committee deems such a bonus appropriate.

-------------
incentive bonus ( Bonus No. 1 ) equal to $150,000 per Company fiscal year if at
least 50 new Pizza Inn units are opened during such fiscal year. Payments will
be made on a semi-annual basis, 50% on January 1 and July 1 of each year, based
upon the opening of at least 25 new Pizza Inn units during each semi-annual
period of such fiscal year. To the extent that 25 new units are not opened in

each fiscal quarter in which the Company s operating results report pre-tax net
income growth or earnings per share growth of at least 10% more than the same
quarter in the preceding year. To the extent that there is a shortfall from
such goal in any given quarter, the entire year-to-date unpaid amount of Bonus
No. 2 shall be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ if the total year-to-date pre-tax income growth
for such fiscal year is at least 10% more than the previous fiscal year.
(c) Bonus No. 3. During the Term, the Company will pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a cash
--------------
incentive bonus ( Bonus No. 3 ), payable at the end of each fiscal year, based
on the targets set forth below for EBITDA cash flow. For the purposes of this
Agreement, "EBITDA cash flow" shall mean pre-tax earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization prior to this bonus accrual per Section
3.02. If EBITDA cash flow equals or exceeds the target amount for an applicable
year, then Bonus No. 3 shall equal $200,000. If EBITDA cash flow equals or
exceeds 75% but is less than 100% of the target amount for an applicable year,

cash flow is less than 75% of the target amount for an applicable year. If

ARTICLE VI
RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION
6.01 If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Paragraphs
5.01 or 5.03 hereof, or if this Agreement is automatically terminated pursuant
to Paragraph 5.02 hereof, or if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Paragraph 5.05 hereof, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇' estate, as the case may be, will

or 5.07 hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be entitled to a lump sum payment within 30 days of
termination of all ordinary salary payments as provided in Paragraph 3.01 which
would have been paid had ▇▇▇▇▇▇ remained in the employment of the Company during
the complete Term together with an amount equal to (i) two times the sum of
Bonus ▇▇. ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇ and Bonus No. 3 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have received in the
fiscal year of such termination assuming the Company's financial and
operational results for such fiscal year attained the highest levels set forth
in Paragraph 3.02 hereof, less (ii) any Bonus ▇▇. ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇, and Bonus No.
3 actually received in such fiscal year based on operating results of such
fiscal year.
6.03 The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amount set forth
in Paragraph 6.02 is not a penalty or a forfeiture; rather, the amount specified
is a reasonable and fair reflection of damages that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ might incur in the
event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to such paragraph.
6.04(a) If any payment received or to be received by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in
connection with a change in control of the Company or termination of ▇▇▇▇▇▇'
employment (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other
plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions
result in a change in control of the Company, or any person affiliated with the
Company or such person (together with the severance payment, the "total
payments"), will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code, the Company will pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, within 30 days of any
payments giving rise to excise tax, an additional amount (the "gross-up
payment") such that the net amount retained or to be retained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, after
deduction of any excise tax on the total payments and any federal and state and
local income tax and excise tax on the gross-up payment provided for by this
section, will equal the total payments.
6.04(b) For purposes of determining the amount of the gross-up payment,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate
of federal income taxation in the calendar year that the payment is to be made,
and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
state and locality of the executive's residence on the date of termination or
the date that excise tax is withheld by the Company, net of the maximum
reduction in federal income taxes that could be obtained by deducting such state
and local taxes.
6.04(c) For purposes of determining whether any of the total payments
would not be deductible by the Company and would be subject to the excise tax,
and the amount of such excise tax, (i) total payments will be treated as
"parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code, and all parachute payments in excess of the base amount within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) will be treated as subject to the excise tax
unless, in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent
auditors and acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ such total payments (in whole or in part) are
not parachute payments, or such parachute payments in excess of the base amount
(in whole or in part) are otherwise not subject to the excise tax, and (ii) the
value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit will be
determined by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with Sections
280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Internal Revenue Code.
