CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On August 11, 1997 we entered into a stockholders’ agreement (the “1997 Stockholders’ Agreement”) with AIG Latin America Equity Partners, Ltd., referred to herein as “AIGLAEP,” and our then executive officers and directors, and certain of their affiliates as a condition to the closing of a stock purchase agreement with AIGLAEP, pursuant to which AIGLAEP purchased 375,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of our common stock.

     Pursuant to the terms of the 1997 Stockholders’ Agreement, each of the parties to that agreement agreed, among other things, to vote their respective shares of our common stock to elect as directors one designee of AIGLAEP, two designees of Shampi Investments A.E.C., two designees of Lawrence Burstein, one of our former directors, and certain other of our former executive officers and directors, and one designee of Big Burger Ltda.

     The 1997 Stockholders’ Agreement provides that if we fail to achieve 75% of our projected cumulative EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), as set forth in the 1997 Stockholders’ Agreement, for each of the periods from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1999, 2000 or 2001, respectively, AIGLAEP could appoint such number of its designees which, together with an expansion of the Board of Directors and the filling of vacancies created by the resignation of certain directors serving at such time, would then constitute a majority of our Board of Directors, thereby effecting a change in our control.

     We failed to achieve the performance targets for year ended December 31, 2000. Following negotiations with AIGLAEP, the 1997 Agreement was amended on March 14, 2001, to provide, among other things, for the suspension, until the completion of our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, of AIGLAEP’s right to appoint a majority of our Board of Directors. In partial consideration of AIGLAEP’s agreeing to the suspension and possible termination of its right to take control of our Board of Directors and certain of its prior approval rights, we issued to AIGLAEP warrants to purchase 35,813 shares of our common
