Item 1.01         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Strategic Investment

 

            On October 29, 2010, Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Small Island Investments Limited, a Bermuda corporation (the "Investor"), under which the Company has agreed to sell, and the Investor has agreed to purchase, 4,200,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a purchase price of $0.50 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $2,100,000.  As described below, the closing of the investment transaction (the "Investment Transaction") under the Purchase Agreement (the "Closing") is subject to the receipt of stockholder approval of the Investment Transaction and a reverse split of the Common Stock to take effect after the Closing.  The Company expects the Closing to occur by November 30, 2010.  Upon the Closing, the Investor will become the beneficial owner of approximately 51.4 percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

            The Investor is a Bermuda corporation based in Boston, Massachusetts.  The Investor is an affiliate of a company that owns and operates three restaurant brands operating in Canada and the United States generating approximately $75 million in annual revenues.

            The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Effective on the Closing, the Company will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company will grant to the Investor certain registration rights with respect to the Shares after the Closing.

            A copy of the Company's November 3, 2010 press release announcing the Investment Transaction is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Each of the material agreements relating to the Investment Transaction is summarized below.  The summaries below do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the related agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

            Securities Purchase Agreement

            As described above, on October 29, 2010, the Company and the Investor entered into the Purchase Agreement, under which the Company has agreed to sell, and the Investor has agreed to purchase, 4,200,000 Shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a purchase price of $0.50 per share.  The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company, which are in certain cases modified by "materiality" and "knowledge" qualifiers.

            The Purchase Agreement was subject to the Investor's further financial, legal and other due diligence examination of the Company, GTDT and the Investment Transaction.  On November 1, 2010, the Investor notified the Company in writing of its successful completion of due diligence.

            The Purchase Agreement provides that the obligation of the Investor to complete the purchase of the Shares at the Closing is subject to certain conditions (which may be waived by the Investor), including:

            (i)  that the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and delivered to the Investor;

2


12135250



            (ii) that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct in all respects as to representations and warranties which are qualified by materiality) as of the Closing as though made on and as of such date;

            (iii) that the Company has received all consents, waivers, authorizations and approvals from third parties necessary in connection with the Investment Transaction;

            (iv)  that the Company's stockholders have approved and authorized the Investment Transaction and related matters, including a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock to be effected after the Closing;

            (v)  that the Company has received the resignations of four of its current directors, including the current Chairman of the Board and one member of the Audit Committee, and that the Board of Directors has taken all action necessary to fill the resulting four vacancies with the Investor's designees effective upon the Closing; and

            (vi)  that the Company has adopted a new management incentive program, in a form satisfactory to the Investor, to apply from and after the Closing.

            The Company has agreed to indemnify the Investor (and certain "Investor Parties" as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for all liabilities, losses or damages as a result of or relating to any breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement provides that after the Closing, for so long as the Investor holds at least 50 percent of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, (i) the Company's Board of Directors shall consist of no more than seven members, and (ii) the Investor with have the right to designate four members of the Board.  In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides that for a period of three years following the Closing, as long as the Investor continues to own at least 80 percent of the Shares, the Investor will have a right of first refusal to purchase additional securities which are offered and sold by the Company for the purpose of maintaining its percentage interest in the Company. 

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing only as follows:

•         by the Investor or the Company, if the Closing has not occurred by November 30, 2010, provided that the right to terminate shall not be available to either party whose failure to perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement is the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to have occurred by such date;

•         by the Investor or the Company, if the Company's stockholders do not vote to approve the Investment Transaction;

•         at any time by mutual agreement of the Company and the Investor;

•         by either the Company or the Investor, if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the other party contained in the Purchase Agreement, which has not been cured within 15 days after notice thereof; or

3


12135250



•         by the Company, if the Company has received an alternative proposal which the Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with the Company's outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor) to be on terms superior in value from a financial point of view to the Company's stockholders than the Investment Transaction and reasonably capable of being completed, in which case the Company has agreed to pay to the Investor a termination fee of $150,000.

            A copy the Purchase Agreement dated October 29, 2010 is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

            Registration Rights Agreement

            Effective at the Closing, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company will grant the Investor certain registration rights with respect to the Shares.  The Company has agreed to pay all expenses associated with the registration of the Shares, including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Investor.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify the Investor, and its officers, directors, members, investors, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon specified violations or failures to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations.

            (c)        Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder.  Upon the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by the Company's shareholders, (i) the execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby shall have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action shall be required by the Company in connection therewith, and (ii) each Transaction Document, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

5

            (d)       No Conflicts.  Upon the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents by the Company's shareholders, the execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company's or the Subsidiary's articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other organizational or charter documents (including revisions to such organizational or charter documents made in conjunction with and to effect the provisions of this Agreement, if applicable, as disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions), or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) of, any agreement or other instrument or other understanding to which the Company or the Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or the Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree, or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or the Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or the Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

            (e)        Filings, Consents, and Approvals.  The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization, or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, provincial, local, or other United States or foreign governmental authority in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filing with the Commission of preliminary and definitive proxy materials under the Commission's proxy rules related to approval by the Company's shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (ii) the filing with the Commission of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement; (iii) the filings required, if any, in accordance with Section 4.4; (iv) filings required by federal or state securities laws, including Form D pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act; and (v) those that have been made or obtained prior to the date of this Agreement.

6

            (b)        At or prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, the Investor shall provide written notice to the Company (the "Due Diligence Completion Notice") specifying that the Investor has completed its financial, legal and other due diligence examination of the Company and that either (i) the Investor is satisfied with such examination and the Agreement remains in full force and effect, or (ii) the Investor is not satisfied with such examination and is electing to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1(f).  Termination by the Investor pursuant to clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence may be for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election and in the discretion of the Investor, and subject to the approval of the Company (which approval the Company may elect for any reason to withhold in its discretion), such termination may be deferred accompanied by a request for further diligence information and/or additional time to review such diligence information prior to the Investor's determination under clause (i) or (ii) above.  If the Investor provides notice of the satisfactory completion of its due diligence (the "Satisfactory Completion of Due Diligence") pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4.6(b), the Investor shall provide a representation and warranty to the Company that the Investor has been afforded (x) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary and to receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares, (y) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiary and their respective financial condition, results of operation, business, properties, management, and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment, and (z) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

            (a)        For a period of sixty days after the date of this Agreement, or, if earlier, until the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, and provided that the Investor has not failed to notify the Company of the satisfactory completion of its due diligence in accordance with Section 4.6(b) or otherwise terminated this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents, or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant, or other advisor or representative retained by it, to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal.  For purposes of this Section 4.7(a), "Acquisition Proposal" shall mean any inquiry, proposal, or offer from any Person (other than the Investor or any of its Affiliates) concerning (i) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange, or other business combination transaction involving the Company, (ii) the acquisition of a significant number of shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities of the Company, or (iii) the purchase, lease, exchange, or other acquisition of any significant portion of the Company's or the Subsidiary's properties or assets.

20



            (b)        Notwithstanding Section 4.7(a), if at any time prior to the approval of the Transaction Documents by the Company's shareholders, the Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company's shareholders under applicable law, the Company, in response to a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that (i) was unsolicited or that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 4.7, and (ii) is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, may (x) furnish non-public information with respect to the Company to the Person who made such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (provided that the Company also furnishes such nonpublic information to the Investor, to the extent that such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by the Company to the Investor), and (y) participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal.  For purposes of this Section 4.7(b), "Superior Proposal" shall mean a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal which the Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with the Company's outside legal counsel and independent financial advisor) to be (A) on terms superior in value from a financial point of view to the Company's shareholders than the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and the Transaction Documents (including any offer by the Investor to amend the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents) and (B) reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal, and other aspects of such proposal.

            (c)        The Company shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) advise the Investor in writing of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry regarding the making of an Acquisition Proposal, including any request for information, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making such request, Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry.  The Company will, to the extent reasonably practicable, keep the Investor fully informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request, Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry.

            (d)       If the Company has received a Superior Proposal and, after providing the Investor with a ten-day period in which to match the Superior Proposal with equivalent value from a financial point of view to the Company's shareholders, the Board has determined in good faith, based upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that it is necessary for the Board to terminate this

Agreement in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law and has notified the Investor in writing of such determination, the Company may terminate this Agreement upon payment of the termination fee required by Section 6.2.

21

4.8.      Use of Proceeds.  Subject to Investor approval, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder to refinance prior obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary existing on the Closing Date, to pay other obligations and expenses of the Company and the Subsidiary, for general working capital purposes, including capital expenditures, of the Subsidiary, for costs and expenses resulting from the Transaction Documents, and for other purposes acceptable to and approved by the Investor.  Such use of proceeds shall include payments by the Company to W Capital Inc., John W. McDonald, and Golden Bridge LLC (collectively, the "Bridge Lenders") in the aggregate principal amount of $585,000 payable to such Bridge Lenders.  The aggregate amount of interest owed to W Capital Inc. and John W. McDonald shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio of $0.50 of the amount owed for each share of Common Stock.



            4.9.      Board Composition.  So long as the Investor holds at least fifty percent of the Company's then-outstanding capital stock, (i) the Board shall not consist of more than seven directors, and (ii) the Investor shall have a right to designate four members of the Company's Board (the "Investor Designees"), and the Company agrees to include the Investor Designees on its recommended slate of directors recommended for approval at each annual meeting of the Company's shareholders.  The Investor shall vote its shares in any election of directors in favor of (x) its four designees, (y) one Person designated by The Bailey Company (the "Bailey Designee"), and (z) one Person designated by Eric W. Reinhard (the "Reinhard Designee"); provided, however, that if The Bailey Company or Eric W. Reinhard (in each case, together with its or his Affiliates) ceases to own at least 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (adjusted for any stock splits, reverse splits or similar capital stock transactions), then in lieu of the Bailey Designee or the Reinhard Designee, as the case may be, the Investor agrees to vote its shares in any election of directors in favor of a Person, other than an Investor Designee, who receives the majority of votes of holders of Common Stock other than the Investor.  The Investor agrees that The Bailey Company and Eric W. Reinhard constitute third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provision.  The Bailey Company and Eric W. Reinhard shall have entered into a customary voting agreement whereby they agree to vote their shares in favor of the Investor Designees, as well as in favor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and submitted for shareholder approval.

22

4.10.    Purchase Rights.  For a period of three years following the Closing and provided the Investor continues to hold at least eighty percent of the Shares, the Company hereby grants to the Investor rights to purchase securities of the Company for the purpose of maintaining up to its percentage ownership interest in the Company, as set forth in the provisions below.

            (a)        Subsequent Offerings.  The Investor shall have a right of first refusal (the "Purchase Right") to purchase up to its "Pro Rata Share" of all Equity Securities which may be issued and sold by the Company other than those excluded pursuant to Section 4.10(c) below.  The Investor's Pro Rata Share shall be calculated as of the time immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities by the Company as the ratio of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor at such time to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on a fully diluted basis at such time

            (b)        Exercise of Rights.

(i)                     If the Company proposes to issue any Equity Securities, it shall first give the Investor written notice (the "Company's Issuance Notice") of its intention, describing the Equity Securities, the price and the other terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue such Equity Securities.  The Investor shall have ten Business Days after the giving of the Company's Issuance Notice to agree to purchase up to its Pro Rata Share of the Equity Securities, for the price and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the notice, by giving written notice to the Company (the "Investor's Purchase Notice") and stating therein the quantity of such Equity Securities to be purchased.  If the Investor exercises its Purchase Right hereunder, the Company and the Investor shall then effect the sale and purchase of the Equity Securities at the closing of the issuance of Equity Securities described in the Company's Issuance Notice.  On the date of such closing, the Company shall deliver to the Investor the certificates representing the Equity Securities to be purchased by the Investor, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer, and at such time, the Investor shall pay the purchase price for the Equity Securities.

                        (ii)        Issuance of Equity Securities to Other Persons.  If the Investor fails to exercise in full its Purchase Right, the Company shall have sixty days thereafter to sell the Equity Securities in respect of which the Investor's Purchase Right was not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's Issuance Notice.  If the Company has not sold such Equity Securities within such sixty days, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity Securities, without first again complying with this Section 4.10.



23

                        (iii)       Exercise of Options and Warrants.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor's Purchase Right with respect to Common Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options or warrants outstanding on the date of this Agreement or subsequently issued pursuant to the Company's existing equity incentive plan shall be governed exclusively by Section 4.10(d).

            (c)        Excluded Securities.  The Purchase Rights established by this Section 4.10 shall have no application to any of the following Equity Securities:

EXHIBIT B

SCHEDULE OF EXCEPTIONS

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2010 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between Good Times Restaurant Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Small Island Investments Limited, a Bermuda corporation (the "Investor"), this Schedule of Exceptions is being delivered by the Company to the Investor.  All defined terms herein have the same meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise defined.

The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement are made and given subject to the disclosures in this Schedule of Exceptions.  The section numbers in this Schedule of Exceptions correspond to the section numbers of the Purchase Agreement requiring such disclosure.  Any information disclosed herein under any section number in Section 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section number under Section 3.1 of the Purchase Agreement where the applicability of such disclosure to such other section number is reasonably apparent to the Investor based on the face of such disclosure.

Section 3.1(d):  The Company has change of control provisions in its loan agreements with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and PFGI II LLC under which the consummation of this transaction would constitute an event of default if prior consent is not obtained. The loan agreements (the "Bridge Loans") with Golden Bridge LLC ("Golden Bridge"), W Capital, Inc. ("W Capital") and John T. MacDonald ("MacDonald") also have change of control provisions requiring prior consent if such Bridge Loans are not paid in full as a part of the use of proceeds from this transaction.

Section 3.1(e):  As discussed in Section 3.1(d) of this Schedule of Exceptions, the Company intends to obtain consents from certain lenders prior to the Closing.  In addition, the Company intends to obtain waivers from its Series B investors of their participation rights with respect to this transaction and of their contractual board designation rights.

Section 3.1(g):  Immediately prior to the Closing, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 3,898,559 shares are issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, none of which are issued and outstanding.  As of immediately prior to the Closing, the Company has reserved an aggregate of 552,072 shares of its Common Stock for issuance under the Company's Omnibus Equity Plan (the "Plan"), of which options to purchase 386,486 shares of Common Stock have been issued and the remaining 165,586 shares remain available under the Plan.  In addition, the Company has reserved an aggregate of 305,112 shares of its Common Stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

The Plan contains a change of control provision pursuant to which, immediately upon the Closing, any and all stock options which have been granted under the Plan shall be accelerated to become immediately exercisable in full.  No awards other than stock options have been granted under the Plan.



In addition, the Company's Employment Agreement with Boyd Hoback, its President and CEO, contains a change of control provision pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Closing, all stock options granted to Mr. Hoback shall be accelerated and shall become exercisable.  In addition, if Mr. Hoback's employment with the Company is terminated following a change of control, he shall have a right exercisable within 15 business days after the effective date of such termination to sell to the Company any or all of the stock owned by him, including any shares acquired by exercise of accelerated stock options or otherwise.  If this right is exercised, the purchase price for the shares shall be equal to the average daily market price of the Company's stock on NASDAQ or any other applicable public trading market over the thirty trading days immediately preceding the public announcement of termination of Mr. Hoback's employment, and the purchase price shall be payable to Mr. Hoback in cash within five business days after he provides the company with written notification of his exercise of this right.  The Company intends to obtain a waiver from Mr. Hoback of any acceleration of his stock options and of his right to sell his shares to the Company upon a change of control at the Closing.

Attached hereto is a summary of the Company's outstanding options and warrants.  In addition, in connection with the Bridge Loans, the Convertible Promissory Note held by W Capital and McDonald is convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to repayment at a conversion price of 25% less than the average price of the Common Stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion date, provided however that the conversion price shall not be below $0.75 per share nor above $1.08 per share.  As set forth in Section 4.8 of the Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans will be repaid out of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares.  The Company intends to obtain consents from W Capital and McDonald to the conversion of the accrued interest on their Bridge Loans into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share.

The Company has granted Participation Rights to the holders of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Series B investors will waive their right to participation in connection with this transaction.

Section 3.1(j):  None.

Section 3.1(k):  None.

Section 3.1(l):  As reported on the form 8-K filed on January 23, 2009, the Company is in default of certain technical loan covenants on our note payable to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). On February 9, 2009 we received a Reservation of Rights letter from the Bank formally notifying us of the default of the Earnings Before Interest Taxes and Depreciation ("EBITDA") Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 and the Tangible Net Worth of not less than $5,000,000 as set forth in the Credit Agreement for the period ending December 31, 2008. The letter serves as notice that in light of the foregoing events of default, the Bank is reserving all of its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and related agreements.



The Bank is not accelerating the loan at this time and is continuing to accept regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest under the loan; however the acceptance of payments under the loan does not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or a waiver of any of the covenants or of the Bank's rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement, including the right to accelerate the loan in the future after the giving of notice.

Section 3.1(n):  The Company has received a notice of default under two of its leases due to the non-payment of real property taxes.  The Company is in negotiation with the landlord for the sublease of one of the restaurants or termination of its lease in connection with the sale of the restaurant.  The Company is negotiation with the other landlord for the payment of property taxes over time.  The Company is and will remain liable for the unpaid property taxes.

The Company has accrued 2009 real property taxes in the aggregate amount of $196,740 related to ten of its properties.

Section 3.1(q): In February 2005, the Company issued 1,240,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, including 180,000 shares to The Erie County Investment Co., a substantial holder of the Company's Common Stock and member of The Bailey Group.  In June 2006, the Company exercised its mandatory conversion rights under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock to convert all of those shares into a total of 1,240,000 shares of Common Stock.  Under the agreements for the Series B Preferred Stock financing, The Bailey Group currently has the right to elect three directors, provided that two directors meet the Nasdaq independence standards.  Furthermore, the other investors in the Series B Preferred Stock financing currently have the right to elect three directors.  The number of director positions subject to these provisions will decrease proportionally to the extent that the original investors sell or otherwise transfer the Common Stock into which the Series B shares have been converted.  An additional provision of the Series B Preferred Stock financing restricts, for as long as the original investors hold at least two-thirds of the Common Stock into which the Series B shares have been converted, they have participation rights on any subsequent equity financings and our ability to increase the size of the Board of Directors above seven directors unless we the Company first receives approval from the holders of at least three-fourths of all outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Geoffrey R. Bailey, Richard J. Stark and Alan A. Teran are the current directors designated by The Bailey Group, and Ron Goodson, David Grissen and Eric W. Reinhard are the current directors designated by the other investors.  Geoffrey R. Bailey is a director of The Erie County Investment Co., which owns 99% of The Bailey Company.  The Bailey Company and The Erie County Investment Co. are principal stockholders of us.  Geoffrey R. Bailey's father, Paul T. Bailey, is the principal owner of The Erie County Investment Co.

The Company's corporate headquarters are located in a building owned by The Bailey Company and in which The Bailey Company also has its corporate headquarters.  The Company currently leases its executive office space of approximately 3,693 square feet from The Bailey Company for approximately $55,000 per year.  The lease expired September 30, 2009 and the Company continues to lease the space on a month to month basis.



The Bailey Company is also the owner of one franchised Good Times Drive Thru restaurant which is located in Loveland, Colorado and was the owner of one franchised restaurant in Thornton, Colorado which was closed in October 2009. The Bailey Company has entered into two franchise and management agreements with the Company.  Franchise royalties and management fees paid under those agreements totaled approximately $78,000 and $94,000 for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

In April 2009 the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a loan agreement with Golden Bridge pursuant to which Golden Bridge made a loan of $185,000 to the Subsidiary to be used for restaurant marketing and other working capital needs.  The Golden Bridge loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 20, 2009 made by the Company and the Subsidiary, as co-makers, which bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid principal balance and provides for monthly interest payments with all unpaid principal due on July 20, 2010.  The note has been extended to December 31, 2010.  In connection with the loan, the Company issued to Golden Bridge a three-year warrant dated April 20, 2009 which provides that Golden Bridge may at any time from April 20, 2009 until April 20, 2012 purchase up to 92,500 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per share.

Eric Reinhard, Ron Goodson, David Grissen, Richard Stark, and Alan Teran, who are all members of the Board and stockholders of the Company, are the sole members of Golden Bridge.  Eric Reinhard is the sole manager of Golden Bridge.  The Company's obtaining of the loan from Golden Bridge and related transactions were duly approved in advance by the Board by the affirmative vote of members thereof who did not have an interest in the transaction.   Total interest and commitment fees paid under this agreement were approximately $12,000 for fiscal 2009. The amount due to related parties under this agreement that is included in notes payable was $185,000 at September 30, 2009.  The fair value of the Warrant issued was determined to be $42,000 with the following assumptions: 1) risk free interest rate of 1.27%, 2) an expected life of 3 years, and 3) an expected dividend yield of zero. The fair value of $42,000 was charged to the note discount and credited to Additional Paid in Capital. The note discount is being amortized over fourteen months and charged to interest expense.

On February 1, 2010, the Company and the Subsidiary entered into a loan agreement with Golden Bridge, W Capital and McDonald, pursuant to which the lenders made loans totaling $400,000, to be used for restaurant marketing and other working capital uses of the Subsidiary.  These loans are evidenced by a convertible secured promissory note dated February 1, 2010 made by the Company and the Subsidiary, as co-makers, which bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 12% per annum through August 1, 2010 and at rate of 14% per annum from August 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.  All interest accrues through December 31, 2010.  The note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to prepayment at a conversion price of 25% less than the average price of the Common Stock during the 20 days prior to the conversion date, provided however that the conversion price shall not be below $0.75 per share nor above $1.08 per share.

In connection with these loans, the Company issued to Golden Bridge, W Capital and McDonald two-year warrants dated February 1, 2010 which provide that the lenders may purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the conversion price under the note.  The warrants expire two years from the date of repayment or conversion of the loan.



On April 1, 2010, the Company, the Subsidiary and the lenders amended the loan agreement to replace Golden Bridge as a lender with an additional loan from W Capital and McDonald on the same terms and conditions that applied to Golden Bridge.  The Company repaid the principal amount which was owed to Golden Bridge. The warrant which had previously been issued to Golden Bridge was cancelled in its entirety.

Section 3.1(s):  The Company's Closing Fees include (i) $150,000 payable to Mastodon Ventures, Inc., inclusive of all accrued expenses, in connection with strategic advisory services, and (ii) $25,000 payable to Woodville Hall Capital, LLC in connection with the preparation and deliver of a fairness opinion to the Company.

Section 3.1(t): The Company has granted registration rights to W Capital and McDonald in connection with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of their convertible promissory note and upon exercise of their warrants.

Section 3.1(u):  The Company has received notices of non-compliance from Nasdaq for non-compliance with its continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Markets for a) not maintaining a $1 minimum bid price on its common stock and b) falling below the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement.  The Company has until January 2011 to regain compliance with the $1 minimum bid price and is filing a Compliance Plan with Nasdaq on October 4, 2010 to meet the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement after giving effect to the transaction contemplated herein.

Section 4.5:  The Good Times Drive Thru location at Federal and Asbury (Store #130) has been closed and is under negotiation for lease termination.  The Company took a write down of the assets associated with the closure of the restaurant of $36,247 and accrued a lease liability of $34,802 in June 2010.  The site is under final negotiations for the termination of the lease in connection with the sale of the property underlying the lease to Jack in the Box.   If the sale is delayed or if Jack in the Box terminates the purchase contract, the Company will remain liable on the lease from August 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011.

2.         Demand Registration.



            (a)        Registration Statement.  Following the closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the "Closing"), the Investor shall have the right to require the Company, within 45 days of the Investor's written request therefor, to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Subject to any SEC comments, each Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided however, that the Investor shall not be named as an "underwriter" without the Investor's prior written consent.  The Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities to which such Registration Statement relates.  Such Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 4(c) to the Investor and/or its counsel prior to its filing or other submission.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the Investor shall only have the right to require the Company to file, and the Company shall only be obligated to file, two Registration Statements pursuant to this Section 2.

            (b)        Expenses.  The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, the Company's counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, fees and expenses of counsel to the Investor, and the Investor's reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers, or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

            (c)        Effectiveness.

                        (i)         The Company shall use best efforts to have the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and prior to the earlier of (x) ten Business Days after the SEC shall have informed the Company that no review of the Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on the Registration Statement or (y) the 90th day after the Registration Statement is filed. The Company shall notify the Investor by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within 48 hours, after (A) the Registration Statement is declared effective and (B) the filing of any related Prospectus under Rule 424(b), at which time the Company shall also provide the Investor with a copy of such related Prospectus.  After the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall take all actions, including without limitation updating the Registration Statement as necessary, so that the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement without restriction except as provided pursuant to subparagraph (ii) below.



                        (ii)        For not more than thirty consecutive days or for a total of not more than sixty days in any 12 month period, the Company may, without the approval of the Investor, delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company and thereby suspend its obligations under paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section 2 (as well as the right of the Investor to use any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section) if the disclosure of such material non-public information is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an "Allowed Delay"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (x) notify the Investor in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of the Investor, shall the Company disclose to the Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (y) advise the Investor in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay, and (z) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

            (d)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be in breach of this Section 2 if a Registration Statement has not been filed, the effectiveness of a Registration Statement has been delayed, or a Prospectus has been unavailable as a result of (i) a failure by the Investor to promptly provide on request by the Company any information required by this Agreement or requested by the SEC (which upon notice to the Investor, the Investor fails to cure within a reasonable period), (ii) the provision of inaccurate or incomplete information by the Investor (which upon notice to the Investor, the Investor fails to cure within a reasonable period), or (iii) a statement or determination of the SEC that any provision of the rights of the Investor under this Agreement are contrary to the provisions of the Securities Act (of which the Company shall provide immediate notice to the Investor).

3.         Piggyback Registration.

            (a)        Notice of Registration.  If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Investor) any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with a public offering of such shares solely for cash (other than (i) a registration relating solely to an employee benefit plan, (ii) a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, (iii) a registration on any form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, or (iv) a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered), the Company shall promptly, and in any event at least ten days prior to the filing of the applicable registration statement, give written notice to the Investor of its intention to effect such registration.  Upon the written request of the Investor given within ten days after the mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 3, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that the Investor has requested to be registered.

            (b)        Underwriting.  If a registration of which the Company gives notice pursuant to Section 3(a) is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Investor as part of its written notice.  In such event, the right of the Investor to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon the Investor's participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting shall be limited to the extent provided herein.

            (c)        Underwriting Agreement.  If the Investor proposes to distribute Registrable Securities through such underwriting pursuant to this Section 3, the Investor, together with the Company and all other shareholders distributing their securities through such underwriting, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company.



            (d)       Limitation of Underwritten Securities.  If the applicable registration is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering, and/or that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in any such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; and (ii) second, the number of Registrable Securities to be included therein by the Investor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (x) the number of Registrable Securities in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (y) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below 25 percent of the total number of securities included in such offering.

            (e)        Right to Terminate Registration.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Investor has elected to include any Registrable Securities in such registration and shall promptly notify the Investor of such termination or withdrawal.

4.         Company Obligations.  The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as practicable:

            (a)        Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the date the Registration Statement is declared effective shall be referred to as the "Effective Date") and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the "Effectiveness Period") and advise the Investor in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;

            (b)        Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

            (c)        Provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investor, if any, in the selling securityholder questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Selling Securityholder Questionnaire") to review the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than seven days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects;



            (d)       Furnish to the Investor and its legal counsel, if any, designated in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two Business Days after the filing date, receipt date, or sending date, as the case may be) one copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor that are covered by the related Registration Statement;

            (e)        Use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

            (f)        Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investor and its legal counsel, if any, designated in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Investor and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 4(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

            (g)        Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system, or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

            (h)        Immediately notify the Investor, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC, and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and



            (i)         Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act prior to 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on the Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, promptly inform the Investors in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Investor is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder.  For the purpose of this subsection 4(i), "Availability Date" means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company's fiscal year, "Availability Date" means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter.

            (j)         With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to:  (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to the Investor upon request, as long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

5.         Due Diligence Review; Information.  The Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by the Investor, advisors to and representatives of the Investor (who may or may not be affiliated with the Investor and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC Reports (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company's officers, directors, and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investor or any such representative, advisor, or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investor and its representatives, advisors, and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement.



The Company may disclose material nonpublic information to the Investor, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investor, subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.  If no such Confidentiality Agreement is then in effect at the time, prior to disclosure of such material nonpublic information, the Company shall identify such information as being material nonpublic information and provide the Investor or such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review, and in such case whereby the Investor chooses to accept such information, the Investor shall enter into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

6.         Obligations of the Investor.

            (a)        The Investor shall furnish to the Company a Selling Securityholder Questionnaire and such additional information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.  At least ten Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Investor of the information the Company requires from the Investor, to the extent not included in the Selling Securityholder Questionnaire, if the Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.  The Investor shall provide such information to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if the Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

            (b)        The Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

            (c)        The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii), or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 4(h) hereof, the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.

7.         Indemnification.



            (a)        Indemnification by the Company.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its officers, directors, members, investors, employees, and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of any material fact in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document, or information herein called a "Blue Sky Application"); (iii) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (iv) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor's behalf and will reimburse such Investor and each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) the Investor's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act at any time when the Company does not meet the conditions for use of Rule 172, has advised the Investor in writing that the Company does not meet such conditions and that therefore the Investor is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities and has provided the Investor with a current Prospectus for such use, (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by the Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or (iii) the use by the Investor of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Investor that such Prospectus is outdated or defective and the use of a corrected or updated Prospectus would have avoided such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses.



            (b)        Indemnification by the Investor.  The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from (i) the Investor's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act at any time when the Company does not meet the conditions for use of Rule 172, has advised the Investor in writing that the Company does not meet such conditions and that therefore the Investor is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any sale or other disposition of Registrable Securities, and has provided the Investor with a current Prospectus for such use, (ii) the use by the Investor of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Investor that such Prospectus is outdated or defective and the use of a corrected or updated Prospectus would have avoided such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, and (iii) any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by the Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto.  In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by the Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 7 and the amount of any damages the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by the Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

            (c)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (x) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (y) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person, or (z) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties.  No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

            (d)       Contribution.  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 7 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

            (d)       Assignments and Transfers by the Company.  This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Investor, provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any surviving or successor corporation in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation, or a sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to another corporation, without the prior written consent of the Investor, after notice duly given by the Company to the Investor.

            (e)        Benefits of the Agreement.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Exhibit A

 

Plan of Distribution

The selling shareholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees, or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution, or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

•         ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•         block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•         purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•         an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•         privately negotiated transactions;

•         short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

•         through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•         broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

•         a combination of any such methods of sale; and

•         any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successor in interest as a selling shareholder under this prospectus.  The selling shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledges, or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.



In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The selling shareholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.  Each of the selling shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

Any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.  Any discounts, commissions, concessions, or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer, or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates.  In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.



We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nasdaq Capital Market- GTIM

Good Times Restaurants Inc. Reports Entering into Stock Purchase Agreement

for the Sale of $2.1 Million of its Common Stock, Continued Positive Sales Trends

 

(GOLDEN, CO)  Good Times Restaurants Inc. (GTIM) today announced that it has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Small Island Investments Ltd. ("SII") for the sale of 4,200,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.1 million.  SII is a Bermuda corporation based in Boston, Massachusetts.  SII is an affiliate of a company that owns and operates three restaurant brands operating in Canada and the United States generating approximately $75 million in revenues.

The closing of the investment transaction under the Purchase Agreement is subject to the receipt of stockholder approval of the transaction and of a reverse split of the common stock to take effect after the closing.  On November 1, 2010, SII notified the Company in writing of its successful completion of due diligence and the Company expects the closing to occur by November 30, 2010.  Upon the closing, SII will become the beneficial owner of approximately 51.4 percent of the outstanding common stock of the Company.   The Company's financial advisor was Mastodon Ventures who arranged the transaction with SII.  A fairness opinion for the transaction was provided to the Board of Directors by Woodville Hall Capital, LLC, of Middleburg, Virginia

President & CEO, Boyd Hoback said, "This capital infusion along with improved operating results provides stability for the Company, resources for longer term growth of Good Times, allows us to regain compliance for our continued Nasdaq Capital Market listing and creates the opportunity to partner with an investment group with deep experience in owning restaurants."

The Company also reported that its same store sales increased 20.3% in October compared to the prior year, following September's 7.5% increase.  Commenting on the sales increases, Hoback said "We estimate that approximately 10% of the sales increase in October is due to much better weather this year and the other 10% is due to some general improvement in the macroeconomic environment and continued resonance of our internal product and service initiatives for our customers.  Since June of 2010 we have seen gradually improving sales trends as we introduced a new lower priced Craver Combo category, two fry alternatives with Fresh Cut Fries and our heritage Wild Fry, Fresh Hand Spun Custard Shakes and other items that are truly unique to Good Times, such as our limited time offer of Sweet Potato Waffle Fries that are available in October through December of this year." 

Regarding future expectations, Hoback added "We are seeing growth in both transactions and our average check without the benefit of much broadcast media, based on effective store level communications of unique product offerings and a tight focus on quality enhancements across our menu.  While the commodity environment remains challenging and is pressuring our cost of sales margin, we expect that approximately 40% to 45% of incremental sales growth will flow to our cash flow from operations, significantly improving our financial performance compared to the first half of fiscal 2010, which was the bottoming of our sales trends.  We have lived through the influx of several fast casual "better burger" competitors and are seeing our customers returning for our fresh, premium burger lineup, fresh cut fries, fresh frozen custard, fresh squeezed lemonades and fresh Craver Combos."



Good Times is a regional chain of quick service restaurants located primarily in Colorado providing a menu of high quality all natural hamburgers, 100% breast of chicken sandwiches, fresh frozen custard, fresh squeezed lemonades and other unique offerings.  Good Times currently operates and franchises 49 restaurants.

This press release contains forward looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws.  The words "intend," "may," "believe," "will," "should," "anticipate," "expect," "seek" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements.  These statements involve known and unknown risks, which may cause Good Times' actual results to differ materially from results expressed or implied by the forward looking statements.  These risks include such factors as the uncertain nature of current restaurant development plans and the ability to implement those plans, delays in developing and opening new restaurants because of weather, local permitting or other reasons, increased competition, cost increases or shortages in raw food products, and other matters discussed under the "Risk Factors" section of Good Times' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 filed with the SEC.  Although Good Times may from time to time voluntarily update its forward looking statements, it disclaims any commitment to do so except as required by securities laws.
