entitled to pursue its right to specifically enforce this Agreement and to
record a notice of pendency of action against the Property.
(b) Without limiting anything contained in subsection 8(c), if the Closing does
not occur by reason of Buyer's default hereunder that is not cured within ten
(10) days after Buyer first has knowledge of such default, then Seller shall
have the right as its sole and exclusive remedy to terminate this Agreement by
notifying Buyer in writing thereof, in which case Buyer shall pay Seller
$50,000.00 as liquidated damages.
(c) In addition to any and all other obligations of Seller under this Agreement
(including without limitation under any indemnity or similar provision set forth
herein), and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement
(including, without limitation, in subsection 14(b) hereof), Seller hereby fully
and forever releases, discharges, acquits, indemnifies, protects, and agrees to
defend (with counsel selected by Seller and approved by Buyer, such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld) and hold Buyer, Buyer's members, partners,
trustees, ancillary trustees, officers, directors, shareholders, beneficiaries,
agents, employees, independent contractors and any person or entity in Control

Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated herein or
therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not be applicable
to the extent, and only to the extent, any such Claims are directly attributable
to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer, as determined by a final
nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
15. Disclosure.
(a) Buyer and Seller shall keep information regarding terms of this Agreement
confidential, except that each Party may disclose the terms this Agreement (i)
to its, and its affiliates', officers, directors, employees, accountants,
agents, potential financing sources, legal counsel and such other third parties
as reasonably necessary to effectuate the closing of the transaction
contemplated herein, and (ii) as required by law, administrative agency or court
order. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Party will announce or otherwise
make public the terms of this transaction without the prior consent of the other
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except as
reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, any of Buyer and
Seller, and each employee, representative or other agent of such Party, may
disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax
Treatment and Tax Structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(collectively, the "Transaction") and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such Tax
Treatment and Tax Structure. As used in this subsection, (i) "Tax Treatment"
means, and is strictly limited to, the purported or claimed U.S. federal income
tax treatment of the Transaction, and does not include, without limitation, any
of the following, in each case to the extent not related to the purported or
claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transaction: information
relating to the identity of any Party to the Transaction or any of such party's
employees, representatives, or other agents; the existence and status of
negotiations between the Parties; and financial, business, legal or other
information regarding a Party (or any of its employees, representatives or other
agents); and (ii) "Tax Structure" means, and is strictly limited to, any fact
that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal
income tax treatment of the Transaction, and does not include, without

any Party to the Transaction or any of such Party's employees, representatives,
or other agents; the existence and status of negotiations between the Parties;
and financial, business, legal or other information regarding a Party (or any of
its employees, representatives or other agents). The authorization of tax
disclosure set forth in this subsection is retroactively effective to the
commencement of the first discussions between the parties regarding the
Transaction. The foregoing provisions are meant to be interpreted so as to
prevent the Transaction from being treated as offered under "conditions of
confidentiality" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the
Treasury Regulations thereunder.
16. Further Assurances. Both Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with one another
and in a timely manner execute any and all additional documents, papers and
other assurances, and shall do any and all acts reasonably necessary to give

having jurisdiction over a dispute arising herefrom to be invalid or otherwise
unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect the other provisions hereof and such remaining provisions shall continue
in force and effect to the full extent permitted by law.
18. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles, and
except in any action to specifically enforce performance of this Agreement, in
which event the law of the state of the Real Property with respect to which such
specific performance is requested shall govern.

RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
(c) EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT
COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE)
BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
BUYER'S ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT.
19. Whole Agreement; Modification. Except as provided below, this Agreement is
the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer concerning the sale of the
Property and no modification hereof or subsequent agreement relative to the
subject matter hereof shall be binding on either Party unless reduced to writing
and signed by the Party to be bound. This Agreement supersedes the Letter of
Intent dated March 24, 2006, regarding the SHELLS SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS, INC. Sale
Leaseback Facility, by and between Fortress Investment Group, LLC and Seller.
All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by this
reference for all purposes.
20. Survival. The provisions of Sections 4, 6 (other than subsection 6(c)), 8,
11, 12 and 14 through 27 (inclusive), and subsection 7(b), shall survive Closing
and any termination of this Agreement for a period of six (6) months.
21. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and
every provision of this Agreement. In the event that the last day for taking any
action or serving notice under this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday, the time period shall be extended until the following business
day.
22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together,
shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or photocopy signature
on this Agreement or any notice delivered hereunder shall have the same legal
effect as an original signature.
23. Attorneys' Fees. If any action or proceeding is instituted to enforce or
interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be
entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs from the losing Party.
24. No Waiver. The waiver by one Party of the performance of any covenant,
condition or promise, or of the time for performing any act, under this
Agreement shall not invalidate this Agreement nor shall it be considered a
waiver by such Party of any other covenant, condition or promise, or of the time
for performing any other act required, under this Agreement. The exercise of any
remedy for which this Agreement provides shall not be a waiver of any remedy
provided by law, and the provisions of this Agreement for any remedy shall not
exclude any other remedies unless they are expressly excluded.
25. Date of Agreement. All references in this Agreement to "the date hereof" or
similar references shall be deemed to refer to the first date set forth above.
26. Transaction Characterization. The Parties intend that the conveyance of the
Properties to Buyer be an absolute conveyance in effect as well as form, and the
instruments to be delivered at Closing (including, without limitation, the Lease
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) are not intended to serve or
operate as a mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or
financing or trust arrangement of any kind. After the execution and delivery of
the Deed, Seller will have no legal or equitable interest or any other claim or
interest in the Property other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
Furthermore, the Parties intend for the Lease Agreement to be a true lease and
not a transaction creating a financing lease, capital lease, equitable mortgage,
mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other financing arrangement, and
the economic realities of the Lease Agreement are those of a true lease.
Notwithstanding the existence of the Lease Agreement, neither Party shall
contest the validity, enforceability or characterization of the sale and
purchase of the Property by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as an absolute
conveyance, and both Parties shall support the intent expressed herein that the
purchase of the Property by Buyer provides for an absolute conveyance and does
not create a joint venture, partnership, equitable mortgage, trust, financing
device or arrangement, security interest or the like, if and to the extent that
any challenge occurs.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Buyer and Seller have executed this
Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
