                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                           LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

                   Dated as of December 30, 1996, as amended,
                Between ELXSI, BICKFORD'S HOLDINGS COMPANY, INC.
                     BICKFORD'S FAMILY RESTAURANTS, INC. and
                              BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.

1.    Loan Agreement Reference. This Supplement A, as it may be amended or
modified from time to time, is a part of the Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement, dated as of December 30, 1996, between Borrower and Lender
(together with all amendments, restatements, supplements and other modifications
thereto, the "Loan Agreement"). Terms used and not defined herein which are
defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them therein
unless the context requires otherwise.

2.    Additional Covenants. Until all of Borrower's Liabilities are paid in
full, Borrower agrees that, unless Lender otherwise consents in writing, it
will:

      SECTION 2.1. Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio. Maintain a ratio of Funded Debt
to EBITDA not exceeding 2.25:1.0. This ratio will be calculated at the end of
each fiscal quarter, using the results of that quarter and each of the 3
immediately preceding quarters.

"Funded Debt" means all outstanding indebtedness of Borrower for borrowed money
and other interest-bearing indebtedness, including current and long term
indebtedness other than indebtedness subordinated to the term loan hereunder on
terms and conditions satisfactory to the Bank and excluding intercompany debt.

"EBITDA" means the sum of net income before taxes, plus interest expense, plus
depreciation, depletion, amortization and other non-cash charges, and excluding
other income and expense and extraordinary items, determined for Borrower on a
consolidated basis.

      SECTION 2.2 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio of at least 1.25:1.0. This ratio will be calculated at the end of each
fiscal quarter, commencing with the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal Year 2001.
The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be determined for the period from the
first day of the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal Year 2001 through the date of
determination, taking such period as one (1) accounting period, and after the
end of the third fiscal quarter in Fiscal Year 2002, the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio shall be determined for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending on
the date of determination, taking such period as one (1) accounting period.

"Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" means the ratio of (a) the sum of EBITDA, plus
operating rent expenses, less capital expenditures, less taxes paid and less
payments made under Section 5.13 of the Agreement to the Parent, to (b) the sum
of interest paid, plus operating rent expenses, plus capital lease payments,
plus principal installments payable under this Agreement, determined for
Borrower on a consolidated basis.

                                        7

      SECTION 2.3 Capital Expenditures. Not, and not permit any Subsidiary to,
purchase or otherwise acquire (including, without limitation, acquisition by way
of Capitalized Lease), or commit to purchase or otherwise acquire, any fixed
asset if, after giving effect to such purchase or other acquisition, (A) the
aggregate capitalized cost of all fixed assets purchased or otherwise acquired
(other than by means of a Capitalized Lease) by Borrower and its Subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis plus (B) the aggregate annual payments under Capitalized
Leases (excluding the portion thereof representing imputed interest) of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (excluding, in each of (A) and (B),
(a) any fixed asset which constitutes a replacement for an asset which was the
subject of a casualty or governmental taking to the extent the purchase or other
acquisition thereof is funded by insurance proceeds or other payments received
as a result of such casualty or taking and (b) the first $675,000 of capital
expenditures related solely to removal of underground storage tanks or other
environmental problems at Borrower's restaurant locations) would exceed (i)
$6,660,000 for Fiscal Year 2000, and (ii) $5,000,000 for each Fiscal Year
thereafter, all on a noncumulative basis.

                                        8
