Dear Max:
Based on your experience, background presented and the excellent impression that
you have given us, Au Bon Pain Co., Inc. is pleased to offer you the position of
Vice President of Technical Services. We would like you to start on or before
June 5, 1995, you will report directly to Sam Yong, President, International.
As part of your orientation process, we would like you to train extensively in
our retail environment. A training schedule will be developed for you within the
next couple of weeks and forwarded to you at your home. Your base salary for
this position will be payable upon continued employment at the weekly rate of
$3,076.93. Your next scheduled review, based on your performance and/or the
profitability of the Company will be no later than, January 15, 1996. In
addition, your compensation will include:
A sign-on bonus of $25,000.00 paid out 3 weeks from your start date.
You will receive a car allowance of $96.16 per week.
We will provide you with a maximum of $100,000.00 to cover
relocation expenses and any gross up applicable for taxes. This is
intended to be used for relocation expenses such as the normal and
customary move of household goods, closing costs, home purchase of
your current residence through a 3rd party, househunting trips,
temporary living and interest on any equity loans. Should your
relocation related expenses and the applicable tax gross up be less
than $100,000.00, we will issue you the balance between your
expenses and $100,000.00 in a taxable payroll check. This

your prevailing base rate, car allowance, and medical benefits on a
weekly basis should your employment be terminated by the Company,
for reasons other than gross misconduct, for a period not to exceed
26 weeks from your termination date. If your employment is
terminated with Au Bon Pain due to a significant change in control
in which more than 50% of the company changes hands, Au Bon Pain
will continue to pay you your prevailing base rate, car allowance,
and medical benefits on a weekly basis for a period not to exceed
one year from your termination date.
