Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Holdings is a resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Holdings or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Holdings within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Holdings to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(vi) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of (or the benefit of a tax credit in lieu of such refund attributable to) any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Holdings or with respect to which Holdings has paid additional amounts pursuant to such subsection 2.7, it shall pay to Holdings an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Holdings under such subsection 2.7 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that Holdings, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Holdings (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to

RM Restaurant Holding Corp.

require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Holdings or any other Person.

2.8 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

A. Designation of a Different Lender Office. If any Lender requests compensation under subsection 2.7A or 2.7B, or requires Holdings to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7E, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lender Office for making, issuing, funding or maintaining its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.7 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Holdings hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

B. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under subsection 2.7A or 2.7B, or if Holdings is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7E, then Holdings may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, subsection 9.1), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Holdings shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in subsection 9.1B(iv), if applicable, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under subsection 2.6D) from such Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Holdings (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under subsection 2.7A or 2.7B or payments required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.7E, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Holdings to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that if Holdings exercises its option under this paragraph, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in subsection 9.1. Holdings shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such agreements and documentation on behalf of each such applicable Lender and any such agreements and/or documentation so executed by Holdings shall be effective for all purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to subsection 9.1.

4.9 Governmental Regulation.

Neither Holdings nor any of the Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable.

4.10 Securities Activities.

Neither Holdings nor any of the Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

4.11 ERISA.

Holdings, each of the Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Holdings, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code or similar state laws or as set forth on Schedule 4.11, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Holdings, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Holdings, any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such

RM Restaurant Holding Corp.
Credit Agreement

Pension Plan) did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan by more than $5,000,000. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Holdings, the Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not greater than $5,000,000. Holdings, each of the Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.12 Certain Fees.

Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent, no broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein, and Holdings hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against, and agrees that it will hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any claim, demand or liability for any such broker’s or finder’s fees alleged to have been incurred in connection herewith or therewith by Holdings or any of its Affiliates and any expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) arising in connection with any such claim, demand or liability.

4.13 Environmental Matters.

Neither Holdings nor any of the Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9604) or any comparable law. There are and, to Holdings’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of the Subsidiaries or, to Holdings’ knowledge, any predecessor of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of Holdings’ or any of the Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent which has materially violated any Environmental Law. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.14 Employee Matters.

There is no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.17 Disclosure.

The representations and warranties of Holdings contained in the Loan Documents and the factual information contained in the other documents, certificates and written statements furnished to any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, when taken together, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact (known to Holdings, in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which the same were made. Holdings has disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all facts known to Holdings (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, have had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

8.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Holdings or its Affiliates), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.5 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of subsection 8.3 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

8.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Holdings. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Holdings (provided that at any time during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default no such consultation shall be required) to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as applicable, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent, as applicable, may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify Holdings and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent, as applicable, as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall

RM Restaurant Holding Corp.
Credit Agreement

succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by Holdings to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Holdings and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8 and subsection 9.2 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting in such capacity.

8.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

8.8 Withholding.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

SECTION 9.
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Assignments and Participations in Term Loans.

A. Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Holdings may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.1B, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.1 D or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9.1F (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 9.1D and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any other Indemnitee) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

B. Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Term Loans subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is recorded by the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such approval to be deemed to have been given if a response is not received within five (5) Business Days from the date on which request for approval was received by the applicable Person);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans assigned; and

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement to be manually executed and delivered, together with, except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, and if required, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and, if required, applicable tax forms.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 9.1C, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.7 and 9.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 9.1 D.

C. The Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Holdings, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

D. Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Holdings or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Holdings or any of Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); provided that

(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and

(iii) Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any action (i) effecting the extension of the final maturity of the Term Loan allocated to such participation, or (ii) effecting a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Term Loan or any fee allocated to such participation. Subject to subsection 9.1E, Holdings agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 9.1B. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 9.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to subsection 9.4 as though it were a Lender.

E. Limitations Upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 2.7 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Holdings’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7E unless Holdings is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Holdings, to comply with the provisions of subsection 2.7E as though it were a Lender.

F. Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Term Loans owing to it and the Term Notes, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this subsection 9.1, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under this Agreement and the Term Notes even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

G. SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Holdings, the option to provide to Holdings all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make Holdings pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 9.1, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefore, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Holdings and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This subsection 9.1G may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no SPV shall be entitled to any greater rights under subsection 2.7E than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to absent the use of such SPV.

9.2 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

A. Costs and Expenses. Holdings shall, jointly and severally, pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this subsection 9.2A, or in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, Event of Default, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans; and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender or group of affiliated Lenders that shall constitute the Requisite Lenders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to such Lender or Lenders, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof.

B. Indemnification by Holdings. Holdings shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-Agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this

RM Restaurant Holding Corp.
Credit Agreement

Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (including any claim under any Environmental Laws); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from primarily the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

C. Reimbursement by the Lenders. To the extent that Holdings fails to pay any amount required under subsection 9.2A or 9.2B to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-Agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-Agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-Agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-Agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 9.2C are subject to the provisions of subsection 9.12.

D. Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection 9.2B above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

E. Payments. All amounts due under this subsection 9.2 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

9.3 Right of Set-Off.

Without limitation of any other rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Holdings against any and all of the obligations of Holdings now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Holdings may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent or Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Administrative Agent, Lender and their respective Affiliates under this subsection 9.3 are in addition to other rights and remedies

RM Restaurant Holding Corp.
Credit Agreement

(including other rights of setoff) which the Administrative Agent, Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. The Administrative Agent and Lender agrees promptly to notify in writing Holdings and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.4 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, to the end that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Holdings pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Holdings consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each of Holdings rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Holdings in the amount of such participation.

9.5 Amendments and Waivers.

A. Amendment and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Term Notes, or consent to any departure by Holdings or any of the Subsidiaries therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that any such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which:

(a)		reduces or forgives the principal amount of any of the Term Loans;

(b)		reduces or increases the percentage specified in the definition of the “Requisite Lenders” (it being understood that, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit permitted pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the definition of the “Requisite Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans are included on the Closing Date);

(c)		changes in any manner any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all the Lenders;

(d)		postpones the scheduled final maturity date of any of the Term Loans;

(e)		postpones the date or reduces the amount of any scheduled payment (but not prepayment) of principal of any of the Term Loans;

RM Restaurant Holding Corp.
Credit Agreement

(g)		decreases the interest rate borne by any of the Term Loans (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or the amount of any fees payable hereunder;

(h)		changes in any manner the provisions contained in subsection 7.1 or this subsection 9.5;

in each case, shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of all the Lenders to whom Obligations are owed being directly affected by such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent (the consent of the Requisite Lenders not being required for any such change).

In addition, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 8 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Holdings in any case shall entitle Holdings to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 9.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Holdings, on Holdings.

B. Non-Consenting Lenders. Each Lender grants (x) to the Administrative Agent and any Lender or group of affiliated Lenders which constitutes Requisite Lenders the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Lender’s Term Loans owing to it and the Term Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) to Holdings the right to cause an assignment of all (but not less than all) of such Lender’s Term Loans owing to it, its participations in the Term Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to Eligible Assignees, which right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or group of affiliated Lenders which constitutes the Requisite Lenders or Holdings, as the case may be, if such Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to execute any amendment, waiver or consent which requires the written consent of Lenders other than Requisite Lenders and to which Requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Holdings have otherwise agreed; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender shall receive, in connection with such assignment payment equal to the aggregate amount of outstanding Term Loans owed to such Lender (together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and all other amounts (other than indemnities) owed to such Lender). Each Lender agrees that if the Administrative Agent, any Lender or group of affiliated Lenders which constitutes Requisite Lenders or Holdings, as the case may be, exercises their option under this paragraph, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in subsection 9.1. Holdings shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such agreements and documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender and any such agreements and/or documentation so executed by Holdings shall be effective for all purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to subsection 9.1.

9.6 Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another such covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

9.9 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

9.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Holdings or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Holdings makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders), or any Agent or the Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.11 Severability.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Term Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

9.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of the Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

9.13 Maximum Amount.

A. It is the intention of Holdings and the Lenders to conform strictly to the usury and similar laws relating to interest from time to time in force, and all agreements between Holdings and the Subsidiaries and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether oral or written, are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid in the aggregate to the Lenders as interest (whether or not designated as interest, and including any amount otherwise designated but deemed to constitute interest by a court of competent jurisdiction) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement given to secure the Indebtedness or obligations of Holdings to the Lenders, or in any other document evidencing, securing or pertaining to the Indebtedness evidenced

Credit Agreement

hereby, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable usury or such other laws (the “Maximum Amount”). If under any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, or any of the other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the Maximum Amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the Maximum Amount. For the purposes of calculating the actual amount of interest paid and/or payable hereunder in respect of laws pertaining to usury or such other laws, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness of Holdings evidenced hereby, outstanding from time to time shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, pro-rated, allocated and spread from the date of disbursement of the proceeds of the Term Notes until payment in full of all of such Indebtedness, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such Indebtedness is uniform through the term hereof. The terms and provisions of this subsection 9.13 shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between Holdings or any endorser of the Term Notes and the Lenders.

B. If under any circumstances any Lender shall ever receive an amount which would exceed the Maximum Amount, such amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the principal amount of the Term Loans and shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment under subsection 2.4B(i) and shall be so applied in accordance with subsection 2.4 or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the Term Loans and any other Indebtedness of Holdings in favor of such Lender, the excess shall be deemed to have been a payment made by mistake and shall be promptly refunded to Holdings.
