The term of the Agreement shall be one (1) year commencing the date of execution of this amendment (the "Term").

Expense reimbursement shall continue as outlined in the Agreement, except that Heathcote's air travel costs shall be paid directly by the Company.

f)

By or before the end of the sixth month subsequent to this amendment, the parties will in good faith determine if there will be a change in the scope of the engagement which may trigger an increase in the monthly remuneration for months 6 - 12 (such monthly remuneration shall not be reduced below the amounts in C(ii) and (iii) above), termination of the engagement agreement in lieu of full time employment of Gary Heller by the Company, or confirmation of this amendment to the Agreement through its term.

g)

Heathcote shall not be prohibited from performing consulting engagements with other restaurant companies, provided such engagements do not pose a conflict of interest.

h)

The Agreement may be terminated prior to expiration of the Term only in the event that Heller becomes a full-time direct employee of the company or Heathcote's non-performance of the activities contemplated by this amendment.

i)

The Company shall provide Heathcote at least two (2) months notice prior to expiration of the Term of its intention to extend the Term or offer full-time employment to Gary Heller.
