Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 27, 1999 by and between Bank Leumi USA (the
"Bank") and Ark Restaurants Corp. (the "Company"), as amended by letter
agreements, dated August 21, 2000, as of November 21, 2000, November 1, 2001 and
December 20, 2001 (as so amended, the "Restated Agreement"). Capitalized terms
used in this letter agreement (the "Amendment"), and not otherwise defined
herein, shall have the meanings defined in the Restated Agreement.
The Bank and the Company have agreed to further amend the Restated
Agreement, among other things, to change the Company's covenant with respect to
Loans, Advances and Investments. Accordingly, the Company and the Bank agree
that Section 7.6 of the Restated Agreement is hereby amended and restated as
follows:
7.6 Loans, Advances, Investments. Except (i) loans made to fund the purchase of
the Company's shares pursuant to its stock option plans, (ii) loans to the
Company's employees, other than as provided for in (i), which loans shall not
exceed (a) $850,000 in the aggregate, except during the period January 22, 2002
to and including February 6, 2002, and (b) $930,000 during the period January
22, 2002 to and including February 6, 2002, and (iii) other loans with the prior
written consent of the Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed:
This Amendment is intended by the parties as the final expression of their
agreement, and therefore incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto,
and together with the Restated Agreement and other Loan Documents set forth in
the entire agreement of the parties hereto.
This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding and agreement,
kindly indicate your acceptance thereof by signing below.
Very truly yours,
BANK LEUMI USA
