Material Changes

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Closing Timeline: The initial acquisition of eleven restaurants is expected to close on or about July 10, 2006.
- Contingencies: The closing of the remaining two restaurants is subject to the finalization of acceptable lease terms with landlords. Until then, these locations will be operated under a management services agreement.
- Indemnification: A total of $1.0 million ($0.8 million + $0.2 million) is being held in escrow to secure the sellers' indemnification obligations.
- Liquidity Impact: The transaction increases debt load via the existing credit facility, though specific post-transaction liquidity ratios are not provided in this text.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of lease negotiations for the two restaurants pending final closing.
- Confirm the impact of the additional borrowings on the company's debt covenants under the existing credit facility.
- Review the specific terms of the management services agreement for the two locations not immediately acquired.
- Assess the integration costs and projected EBITDA contribution of the thirteen new units.
