                                                              Option to Purchase
                                                                     1,700 Units

                             Amerigon Incorporated
                             Unit Purchase Option
                           Dated:  February 18, 1997

          THIS CERTIFIES THAT ______________ (herein sometimes called the
"Holder") is entitled to purchase from Amerigon Incorporated, a California
corporation (hereinafter called the "Company"), at the prices and during the
periods as hereinafter specified, up to ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED (1,700) Units
("Units"), each Unit consisting of 280 shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock, no par value, as now constituted ("Class A Common Stock"), and 280
warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock ("Class A Warrants"). Each Class A
Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an
exercise price of $5.00 from February 12, 2000 through February 12, 2002. The
Class A Warrants are herein referred to as the "Warrants."

          The Units have been registered under a Registration Statement on Form
S-2, (File No. 333-17401) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 12, 1997 (the "Registration Statement"). This Option,
together with options of like tenor, constituting in the aggregate options (the
"Options") to purchase 1,700 Units, subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 8 of this Option (the "Option Units"), was originally issued pursuant to
an underwriting agreement between the Company and D.H. Blair Investment Banking
Corp., as underwriter (the "Underwriter") in connection with a public offering
(the "Offering") of 17,000 Units (the "Public Units") through the Underwriter,
in consideration of $1.70 received for the Options.

          Except as specifically otherwise provided herein, the Class A Common
Stock and the Warrants issued pursuant to the option herein granted (the
"Option") shall bear the same terms and conditions a described under the caption
"Description of Securities" in the Registration Statement, and the Warrants
shall be governed by the terms of the Warrant Agreement dated as of February 12,
1997 executed in connection with such public offering (the "Warrant Agreement");
and except that (i) the holder shall have registration rights under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for the Option, the Class A
Common Stock and the Warrants included in the Option Units, and the shares of
Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants, as more fully described in Section
6 of this Option and (ii) the Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Option will
be subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to the Warrant Agreement only
at any time after the Option has been exercised the Warrants underlying the
Option Units are outstanding. Any such redemption shall be on the same terms and
conditions as the Warrants included in the Public Units (the "Public Warrants").
The Company will list the Class A Common Stock underlying this Option and, at
the Holder's request the Warrants, on the Nasdaq National
<PAGE>

Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or such other . exchange or market as the
Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants may then be listed or quoted. In the
event of any extension of the expiration date or reduction of the exercise price
of the Public Warrants, the same changes to the Warrants included in the Option
Units shall be simultaneously effected.

          1.   The rights represented by this Option shall be exercised at the
prices, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8 of this Option ("the
"Exercise Price"), and during the periods as follows:

               (a)  During the period from February 12, 1997 through February
          11, 2000 inclusive, the Holder shall have no right to purchase any
          Option Units hereunder, except that in the event of any merger,
          consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the capital stock or
          assets of the Company or in the case of any statutory exchange of
          securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected
          in connection with a merger of another corporation into the Company)
          subsequent to February 11, 2000, the Holder shall have the right to
          exercise this Option and the Warrants included herein at such time and
          receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
          and property (including cash) which a holder of the number of shares
          of Class A Common Stock underlying this Option and the Warrants
          included in this Option would have owned or been entitled to receive
          had this Option been exercised immediately prior thereto.

               (b)  Between February 12, 2000 and February 12, 2002 inclusive,
          the Holder shall have the option to purchase Option Units hereunder u
          a price of $1,493.50 per Unit.

               (c)  After February 12, 2002 the Holder shall have no right to
          purchase any Units hereunder.

          2.   (a)  The rights represented by this Option may be exercised at
any time within the period above specified in whole or in part, by (i) the
surrender of this Option (with the purchase form at the end hereof properly
executed) at the principal executive office of the Company (or such other office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder
at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company); and (ii)
payment to the Company of the exercise price then in effect for the number of
Option Units specified in the above-mentioned purchase form together with
applicable stock transfer taxes, if any. This Option shall be deemed to have
beers exercised, in whole or in part to the extent specified, immediately prior
to the close of business on the date this Option is surrendered and payment is
made in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and the
person or persons
<PAGE>

in whose name or names the certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock and
Warrants shall be issuable upon such exercise shall become the holder or holders
of record of such Class A Common Stock and Warrants at that time and date. The
certificates for the Class A Common Stock and Warrants so purchased shall be
delivered to the Holder as soon as practicable but not later than ten (10) days
after the rights represented by this Option shall have been so exercised.

               (b)  At any time during the period specified, during which this
Option may be exercised, the Holder may, at its opinion, exchange this Option,
in whole or in part (an "Option Exchange"), into the number of Option Units
determined in accordance with this Section (b), by surrendering this Option at
the principal office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer
agent, accompanied by a notice stating such Holder's intent to effect such
exchange, the number of Option Units into which this Option is to be exchanged
and the date on which the Holder requests that such Option Exchange occur (the
"Notice of Exchange"). The Option Exchange shall take place on the date
specified in the Notice of Exchange or, if later, the date the Notice of
Exchange is received by the Company (the "Exchange Date"). Certificates for the
shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants issuable upon such Option Exchange
and, if applicable, a new Option of like tenor evidencing the balance of the
Option Units remaining subject to this Option, shall be issued as of the
Exchange Date and delivered to the Holder within seven (7) days following the
Exchange Date. In connection with any Option exchange, this Option shall
represent the right to subscribe for and acquire the number of Option Units
(rounded to the next highest integer) equal to (x) the number of Option Units
specified by the Holder in its Notice of Exchange up to the maximum number of
Option Units subject to this option (the "Total Number") less (y) the number of
Option Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product of the
Total Number and the existing Exercise Price by (B) the Fair Market Value. "Fair
Market Value" shall have the meaning indicated in Subsections (i) through (iv)
below for the aggregate value of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants
which comprise a Unit:

                    (i)  If the Class A Common Stock or Warrants are listed on a
          national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading
          privileges on such exchange or listed for trading on the Nasdaq
          National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Fair Market Value
          shall be the average of the last reported sales prices or the average
          of the means of the last reported bid and asked prices, respectively,
          of Class A Common Stock or Warrants, respectively, on such exchange or
          market for the five (5) business days ending on the last business day
          prior to the Exchange Date; or

                    (ii) If the Class A Common Stock or Warrants are not so
          listed or admitted to unlisted trading
<PAGE>

          privileges, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the means of
          the last reported bid and asked prices of the Class A Common Stock or
          Warrants, respectively, for the five (5) business days ending on the
          last business day prior to the Exchange Date; or

                    (iii)     If the Class A Common Stock is not so listed or
          admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are
          not so reported, the Fair Market Value shall be an amount, not less
          than book value thereof as at the end of the most recent fiscal year
          of the Company ending prior to the Exchange Date, determined in such
          reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors of
          the Company; or

                    (iv) If the Warrants are not so listed or admitted to
          unlisted trading privileges, and bid and asked prices are not so
          reported for Warrants, then Fair Market Value for the Warrants shall
          be an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value
          of the shares of Class A Common Stock which may be received upon the
          exercise of the Warrants, as determined herein, and (ii) the Warrant
          Exercise Price.

          3.   Neither this Option nor the underlying securities shall be
transferred, sold, assigned, or hypothecated, except that they may be
transferred to successors of the Holder, and may be assigned in whole or in part
to any person who is an officer of the Holder, any member participating in the
selling group relating to the Offering or any officer of such selling group
member. Any such assignment shall be effected by the Holder (i) executing the
form of assignment at the end hereof and (ii) surrendering this Option for
cancellation at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 2
hereof accompanied by a certificate (signed by an officer of the Holder if the
Holder is a corporation), stating that each transferee is a permitted transferee
under this Section 3 hereof, whereupon the Company shall issue, in the name or
names specified by the Holder (including the Holder) a new Option or Options of
like tenor and representing in the aggregate rights to purchase the same number
of Option Units as are purchasable hereunder.

          4.   The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Class A
Common Stock which may be issued a part of the Option Units purchased hereunder
and the Class A Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of the Warrants
will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and no personal liability will attach to the holder thereof. The Company further
covenants and agrees that during the periods within which this Option may be
exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Class A Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of this Option and that it will have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance upon exercise
of the Warrants included in the Option Units.
<PAGE>

          5.   This Option shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or
any other rights, or subject to the Holder to any liabilities, as a stockholder
of the Company.

          6.   (a)  The Company shall advise the Holder or its transferee,
whether the Holder holds the Option or has exercised the Option and holds Option
Units or any of the securities underlying the Option Units, by written notice at
least two weeks prior to the filing of any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or of any new registration statement or post-effective
amendment thereto under the Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-4
or S-8 or any form substituting therefor or any other limited purpose form that
would not permit the inclusion of the Registrable Securities) covering any
securities of the Company, for its own account or for the account of others, and
will for a period of seven years from the effective date of the Registration
Statement, upon the request of the Holder, include in any such post-effective
amendment or registration statement, such information as may be required to
permit a public offering of the Option, all or any of the Option Units, the
Class A Common Stock or Warrants included in the Option Units or the Class A
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (the "Registrable
Securities").

               (b)  If the Underwriter, D.H. Blair & Co., Inc., J. Morton Davis
or any 50% holder (as defined below) (each, a "Requesting Holder") shall give
notice to the Company at any time to the effect that such holder desires to
register under the Act this Option, the Option Units or any of the underlying
securities contained in the Option Units under such circumstances that a public
distribution (within the meaning of the Act) of any such securities will be
involved then the Company will promptly, but no later than four weeks after
receipt of such notice, file a post-effective amendment to the current
Registration Statement or a new registration statement on Form S-1 or such other
form as the holder requests pursuant to the Act, to the end that the Option, the
Option Units and/or any of the securities underlying the Option Units may be
publicly sold under the Act as promptly as practicable thereafter and the
Company will use its best efforts to cause such registration to become and
remain effective (including the taking of such steps as are necessary to obtain
the removal of any stop order) for a period of up to nine months or until the
distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed,
whichever first occurs (provided, that such nine month limitation shall be
extended indefinitely in the event the registration statement is on Form S-3 or
any successor thereto); provided, that such holder shall furnish the Company
with appropriate information in connection therewith as the Company may
reasonably request in writing. Any Requesting Holder may, at its option, request
the filing of a post-effective amendment to the current Registration Statement
or a new registration statement under the Act on two occasions during the thirty
month period beginning thirty months from the effective date of the Registration
Statement; provided, that the aggregate
<PAGE>

number of registrations that may be requested by all Requesting Holders shall be
limited to two. Any Requesting Holder may, at its option request the
registration of the Option and/or any of the securities underlying the Option in
a registration statement made by the Company as contemplated by Section 6(a) or
in connection with a request made pursuant to this Section 6(b) prior to
acquisition of the Option Units issuable upon exercise of the Option and even
though the Holder has not given notice of exercise of the Option. Any Requesting
Holder may, at its option, request such post-effective amendment or new
registration statement during the described period with respect to the Option,
the Option Unit as a unit, or separately as to the Class A Common Stock and/or
Warrants included in the Option Units and/or the Class A Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrants, and such registration rights may be exercised
by the Requesting Holder prior to or subsequent to the exercise of the Option.

          Within ten days after receiving any such notice pursuant to this
Section 6(b), the Company shall give notice to the other holders of the Options,
advising that the Company is proceeding with such post-effective amendment or
registration statement and offering to include therein the securities underlying
the Options of the other holders, provided that they shall furnish the Company
with such appropriate information (relating to the intentions of such holders)
in connection therewith as the Company shall reasonably request in writing. In
the event demand for registration is made by a Requesting Holder and the
registration statement is not filed within the period specified herein and in
the event the registration statement is not declared effective under the Act
prior to February 12, 2002, then, at the holders' request, the Company shall
purchase the Options from the holder for a per option price equal to the
difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of the Class A Common Stock on the
date of notice multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Option and the underlying Warrants and (ii) the
average per share purchase price of the Option and each share of Class A Common
Stock underlying the Option. All costs and expenses of the first such post-
effective amendment or new registration statement under this paragraph 6(b)
shall be borne by the Company, except that the holders shall bear the fees of
their own counsel and any underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to
any of the securities sold by them.

               (c)  The term "50% holder" as used in this Section 6 shall mean
the holder of at least 50% of the Class A Common Stock and the Warrants
underlying the Options (considered in the aggregate) and shall include any owner
or combination of owners of such securities, which ownership shall be calculated
by determining the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such owner
or owners as well as the number of shares then issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.

               (d)  Whenever pursuant to Section 6 a registration statement
relating to any Registrable Securities is filed under
<PAGE>

the Act, amended or supplemented, the Company shall (i) supply prospectuses and
such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities, (ii) use its
best efforts to register and qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale
in such states as such Holder designates (provided, that the Company shall not
be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do
business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states
or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such
jurisdiction and except as maybe required by the Act), (iii) furnish
indemnification in the manner provided in Section 7 hereof (iv) notify each
Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading and, at the request of any such
Holder, prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a
supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading and (v) do any and all other acts and things
which may be necessary or desirable to enable such Holders to consummate the
public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities. The Holders
shall furnish appropriate information in connection therewith and
indemnification as set forth in Section 7.

          (e)  The Company shall not permit the inclusion of any securities
other than the Registrable Securities and securities of the Company held by
securityholders who have duly exercised registration rights existing on the date
hereof to be included in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section
6(b) hereof without the prior written consent of the Requesting Holders;
provided, that if the underwriter advises the Requesting Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Company shall exclude from such underwriting, to the
fullest extent possible, (i) first, the maximum number of securities, if any,
other than Registrable Securities as is necessary in the opinion of the managing
underwriter(s) to reduce the size of the offering and (ii) then the minimum
number of Registrable Securities as is necessary in the opinion of the managing
underwriters) to reduce the size of the offering.

          (f)  The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in the
offering and to each underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to
such Holder or underwriter, of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated
the effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration
<PAGE>

includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the
closing under the underwriting agreement), and (ii) if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, a "cold comfort" letter dated the
effective date of such registration statement and dated the date of the closing
under the underwriting agreement signed by the independent public accountants
who have issued a report on the Company's financial statements included in such
registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters
with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included
therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events
subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered
in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.

          (g)  The Company shall deliver promptly to each Holder participating
in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below and
to the managing underwriter copies of all correspondence between the Commission
and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to
discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration
statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon
reasonable advance notices, with respect to information contained in or omitted
from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with,
applicable securities laws or rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Such investigation shall include access to non-
confidential books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the
business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such
reasonable extent and at such reasonable times as any such Holder shall
reasonably request.

          7.   (a) Whenever pursuant to Section 6 a registration statement
relating to the Registrable Securities is filed under the Act, amended or
supplemented, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, amendment or
supplement (such holder being hereinafter called the "Distributing Holder"), and
each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Act) the
Distributing Holder, and each underwriter (within the meaning of the Act) of
such securities and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the
Act) any such underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which the Distributing Holder, any such controlling person
or any such underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in any such registration statement or any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus constituting a part thereof or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the
<PAGE>

statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse the Distributing Holder
and each such controlling person and underwriter for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Distributing Holder or such controlling person or
underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in said registration statement,
said preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by such Distributing Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

               (b)  Each Distributing Holder shall, severally but not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors each of its
officers who have signed the registration statement, and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which such indemnified person may become
subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in said registration statement, said
preliminary prospectus, said final prospectus, or said amendment or supplement,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in each case, to the extent, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in said registration statement, said preliminary
prospectus, said final prospectus or said amendment or supplement in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Distributing
Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof, except that the maximum
amount which may be recovered from the Distributing Holder pursuant to this
Section 7 or otherwise shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds received
by the Distributing Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.

               (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 7.

               (d)  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that
it may wish, jointly
<PAGE>

with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

          (8)  In addition to the provisions of Section l(a) of this Option, the
Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities
purchasable upon the exercise of the Options shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:

               (a)  In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
          distribution on its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock in
          shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its
          outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of
          shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Class
          A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in
          effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or
          distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination
          or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price
          determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the
          denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common
          Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the
          numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common
          Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action. Such adjustment
          shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall
          occur.

               (b)  Whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each
          Option is adjusted pursuant to Section (a) above, (i) the number of
          shares of Class A Common Stock included in an Option Unit shall
          simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of
          Class A Common Stock included in Option Unit immediately prior to such
          adjustment by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
          adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price,
          as adjusted and (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or
          other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants included in
          the Option Units and the exercise price of such Warrants shall be
          adjusted in accordance with the applicable terms of the Warrant
          Agreement.

               (c)  No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless
          such adjustment would require an
<PAGE>

          increase or decrease of at least five cents ($0.05) in such price;
          provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
          Subsection (c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward
          and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be
          made hereunder. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to
          the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the
          case may be. Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary
          notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled, but shall not be
          required, to make such changes in the Exercise Price, in addition to
          those required by this Section 8, as it shall determine, in its sole
          discretion, to be advisable in order that any dividend or distribution
          in shares of Class A Common Stock, or any subdivision,
          reclassification or combination of Class A Common Stock, hereafter
          made by the Company shall not result in any Federal Income tax
          liability to the holders of Class A Common Stock or securities
          convertible into Class A Common Stock (including Warrants issuable
          upon exercise of this Option).

               (d)  Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided,
          the Company shall promptly but no later than 10 days after any request
          for such an adjustment by the Holder, cause a notice setting forth the
          adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Option Units issuable
          upon exercise of each Option and, if requested, information describing
          the transactions giving rise to such adjustments, to be mailed to the
          Holders, at the address set forth herein, and shall cause a certified
          copy thereof to be mailed to its transfer agent, if any. The Company
          may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected
          by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed
          by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 8,
          and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of
          the correctness of such adjustment.

               (e)  In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment
          made pursuant to Subsection (a) above, the Holder of this Option
          thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shard of the Company,
          other than Class A Common Stock thereafter the number of such other
          shares so receivable upon exercise of this Option shall be subject to
          adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
          equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Class
          A Common Stock contained in Subsections (a) to (c), inclusive above.

               (t)  In case any event shall occur as to which the other
          provisions of this Section 8 or Section 1(a) hereof are not strictly
          applicable but as to which the
<PAGE>

          failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase
          rights represented by this Option in accordance with the essential
          intent and principles hereof then, in each such case; the Holders of
          Options representing the right to purchase a majority of the Option
          Units may appoint a firm of independent public accountants reasonably
          acceptable to the Company, which shall give their opinion as to the
          adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent
          and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the purchase
          rights represented by the Options. Upon receipt of such opinion, the
          Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of this Option
          and shall make the adjustments described therein. The fees and
          expenses of such independent public accountants shall be borne by the
          Company.

          9.   This Agreement shall be governed by and in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Amerigon Incorporated has caused this Option to be
signed by its duly authorized officers under its corporate seal, and this Option
to be dated February 18, 1997.

Foothill to or for Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may be
different from Borrower's own, and Borrower understands and agrees that Foothill
shall not be liable (other than for the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or
bad faith of Foothill) for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of
omission or commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those contained
in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements
thereto.  Borrower understands that the L/C Guarantees may require Foothill to
indemnify the issuing bank for certain costs or liabilities arising out of
claims by Borrower against such issuing bank.  Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify, save, defend, and hold Foothill harmless with respect to any loss,
cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by
Foothill under any L/C Guaranty as a result of Foothill's indemnification of any
such issuing bank (other than if such loss, cost, or expense is the proximate
result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of Foothill).

          (c) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any bank that issues a
letter of credit guaranteed by Foothill to deliver to Foothill all instruments,
documents, and other writings and property received by the issuing bank pursuant
to such letter of credit, and to accept and rely upon Foothill's instructions
and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with such
letter of credit and the related application; provided, that Foothill agrees to
consider in good faith Borrower's reasonable requests with respect to

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

waivers of discrepancies and amendments with respect thereto.  Borrower may or
may not be the "applicant" or "account party" with respect to such letter of
credit.

          (d)  Any and all actual charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred
by Foothill relating to the letters of credit guaranteed by Foothill shall be
considered Foothill Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately
shall be reimbursable by Borrower to Foothill.

          (e)  Immediately upon the termination of this Agreement, Borrower
agrees to either (i) cause to be delivered to Foothill releases of all of
Foothill's obligations under outstanding Letters of Credit, or (ii) provide
Foothill with an irrevocable letter of credit, in form and substance and from an
issuer, that is reasonably acceptable to Foothill, in an amount equal to 105% of
the maximum amount of Foothill's obligations under outstanding Letters of
Credit.

          (f)  If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable law, treaty,
rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application by any
governmental authority of any such applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation,
or (ii) compliance by the issuing bank or Foothill with any direction, request,
or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any
governmental authority or monetary authority including, without limitation,
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as from
time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

               (A) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be
          imposed or modified in respect of any Letters of Credit issued
          hereunder, or

               (B) there shall be imposed on the issuing bank or Foothill any
          other condition regarding any letter of credit, or Letter of Credit,
          as applicable, issued pursuant hereto;

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly the cost to the issuing
bank or Foothill of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any letter of
credit, or Letter of Credit, as applicable, or to reduce the amount receivable
in respect thereof by such issuing bank or Foothill, then, and in any such case,
Foothill may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost
is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower
shall pay no later than 3 Business Days following a demand for payment such
amounts as the issuing bank or Foothill may specify to be reasonably necessary
to compensate the issuing bank or Foothill for such additional cost or reduced
receipt.  The determination by the issuing bank or Foothill, as the case may be,
of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.2(f), as set forth in a certificate
                                   --------------
setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the
absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding
on all of the parties hereto.

of such excess to be used by Foothill first, to repay Advances outstanding under
Section 2.1 and, thereafter, to be held by Foothill as cash collateral to secure
Borrower's obligation to repay Foothill for all amounts paid pursuant to Letters
of Credit.

at such times as the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding hereunder is less
than $10,000,000, all monetary Obligations that are charged to the Loan Account
(except for undrawn Letters of Credit) shall bear interest at a per annum rate
of 1.875 percentage points above the Reference Rate, and (ii) at such times as
the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding hereunder is equal to or greater
than $10,000,000, all monetary Obligations that are charged to the Loan Account
(except for undrawn Letters of Credit) in excess of $10,000,000 shall bear

points above the rate that otherwise is applicable under Section 2.6(a) hereof,

and (ii) the fee provided in Section 2.6(c) shall be increased to a fee equal to
                             --------------
5% per annum times the actual Daily Balance of the undrawn Letters of Credit
that were outstanding during the immediately preceding month.

               (c)  Letter of Credit Fees.  On the first day of each month,
                    ---------------------
Borrower will pay Foothill a fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees,

                       --------------
Daily Balance of the undrawn Letters of Credit that were outstanding during the
immediately preceding month.

               (d)  Minimum Interest.  In no event shall the rate of interest
                    ----------------
chargeable hereunder for any day be less than 7% per annum.  To the extent that
interest accrued hereunder at the rate set forth herein would be less than the
foregoing minimum daily rate, the interest rate chargeable hereunder for such
day automatically shall be deemed increased to the minimum rate.

                    ----------------------------------------------
event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any
other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible
under applicable law. Borrower and Foothill, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner
of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of
payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as
of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the
payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in
excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the
principal balance (but not below zero) of the Obligations to the extent of such
excess. Any amount not applied to so reduce such principal balance promptly
shall be refunded, without interest, to Borrower.

and after the giving of notice by Foothill to such Concentration Account Bank,
the Concentration Account Bank shall remit all proceeds received in such
Concentration to an account (the "Foothill Account") maintained by Foothill at a
depositary selected by Foothill.  Foothill agrees that it will not give such
notice to the Concentration Account Bank unless a Triggering Event has occurred
and is continuing.  No arrangement contemplated hereby shall be modified by
Borrower without the prior written consent of Foothill.  Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Triggering Event, Foothill may elect to notify the
Concentration Account Bank to remit all amounts received in the Concentration
Account to the Foothill Account.

not be considered a payment on account

<PAGE>

unless such Collection item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal
funds and is made to the Foothill Account or unless and until such Collection
item is honored when presented for payment.  Should any Collection item not be
honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have
made such payment, and interest shall be recalculated accordingly.  Anything to
the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any Collection item shall be
deemed received by Foothill only if it is received into the Foothill Account on
a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. Los Angeles time.  If any Collection item
is received into the Foothill Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m.

of rendering statements to its customers, regarding the Loan Account to
Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of
all charges and expenses constituting Foothill Expenses owing, and such

and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Foothill
unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver
to Foothill by registered or certified mail or overnight courier at its address
specified in Section 12, written objection thereto describing the error or
errors contained in any such statements.

effect for a term ending on January 10, 2002 (the "Maturity Date"). The
foregoing notwithstanding, Foothill shall have the right to terminate its
obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

     3.5   Effect of Termination.  On the date of termination of this Agreement,
           ----------------------
all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrower with
respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit) immediately shall become due and
payable without notice or demand.  No termination of this Agreement, however,
shall relieve or discharge Borrower of Borrower's duties, Obligations, or
covenants hereunder unless, and Foothill's continuing security interests in the
Collateral shall remain in effect until, all Obligations have been fully and
finally discharged and Foothill's obligation to provide additional credit
hereunder is terminated.

     3.6   Early Termination by Borrower.  Borrower has the option, at any time
           ------------------------------
upon 10 Business Days prior written notice to Foothill, to terminate this
Agreement by paying to Foothill, in cash, the Obligations (including a release
of all Letters of Credit or delivery of an irrevocable letter of credit, in form
and substance and from an issuer, that is reasonably acceptable to Foothill, in
an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount of Foothill's obligations under
outstanding Letters of Credit), in full, together with the Applicable
Termination Premium.  The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Obligations are refinanced with a financing that is provided or agented by
Foothill, then no Applicable Termination Premium shall be payable in connection
with such refinancing of the Obligations.  Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, if at any time Foothill is no longer owned by Wells Fargo or
any Affiliate thereof and if Foothill is unable to arrange for the issuance of
letters of credit requested hereunder, then no Applicable Termination Premium
shall be payable in connection with any termination of this Agreement by
Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this Section.

     3.7   Termination Upon Event of Default.  If Foothill terminates this
           ----------------------------------
Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that intentionally is
caused by Borrower for the purpose, in Foothill's reasonable and good faith
judgment, of avoiding payment of the Early Termination Premium provided in
Section 3.6, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of
ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a
reasonable calculation of Foothill's lost profits as a result thereof, Borrower
shall pay to Foothill upon the effective date of such termination, a premium in
an amount equal to the Applicable Termination Premium.  The Applicable
Termination Premium shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by
Foothill as the result of the early termination and Borrower agrees that it is
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  The Applicable
Termination Premium provided for in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed included in
the Obligations.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

     4.1   Grant of Security Interest.
           ---------------------------

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

          (a)  Borrower hereby grants to Foothill a continuing security interest
in all of Borrower's currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising
Personal Property Collateral in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all
Obligations and in order to secure prompt performance by Borrower of each of its
covenants and duties under the Loan Documents.

          (b)  Foothill's security interests in the Personal Property Collateral
shall attach to all Personal Property Collateral without further act on the part
of Foothill or Borrower.  Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to the contrary notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions,
Borrower has no authority, express or implied, to dispose of any item or portion
of the Personal Property Collateral or the Real Property Collateral.  Concurrent
with the consummation of any Permitted Disposition, Foothill agrees to release
its Liens on the subject property or asset (but not the proceeds from the Asset
Disposition).

     4.2  Negotiable Collateral.  In the event that any Collateral, including
          ---------------------
proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral (other than
Collections items that are received by Borrower in the ordinary course of
business and that are deposited in accordance with Section 2.7), Borrower,
promptly upon the request of Foothill, shall endorse and deliver physical
possession of such Negotiable Collateral to Foothill to the extent required for
Foothill to have a first priority perfected Lien thereon.

     4.3  [Intentionally omitted]
          -----------------------

     4.4  Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.  At any time upon the
          ---------------------------------------------
request of Foothill, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Foothill all
financing statements, continuation financing statements, fixture filings,
security agreements, chattel mortgages, pledges, assignments, endorsements of
certificates of title, applications for title, affidavits, reports, notices,
schedules of accounts, letters of authority, and all other documents that
Foothill reasonably may request, in form reasonably satisfactory to Foothill, to
perfect and continue perfected Foothill's security interests in the Collateral,
and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and
under the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of
Prandium, FRI-MRD, and Borrower agrees (and by the execution and delivery of
their Guarantees, each of the other Guarantors agree) to execute and deliver any
supplementary security agreements, financing statements, or other documents
reasonably required by Foothill to create or perfect its security interest in
Borrower's (or Guarantor's, as applicable) Investment Property (subject to the
remedial restrictions contained herein).

     4.5  Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes,
          -----------------
and appoints Foothill (and any of Foothill's officers, employees, or agents
designated by Foothill) as Borrower's true and lawful attorney, with power to
(a) if Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the
documents described in Section 4.4, sign the name of Borrower on any of the
documents described in Section 4.4, (b) endorse Borrower's name on any
Collection item that may come into Foothill's possession, and (c) and at any

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and
adjust all claims under Borrower's policies of insurance and make all
determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance.  The
appointment of Foothill as Borrower's attorney, and each and every one of
Foothill's rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable
until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and performed
and Foothill's obligation to extend credit hereunder is terminated.

     4.6  Right to Inspect.  Prior to the time that an Event of Default has
          ----------------
occurred and is continuing or Foothill deems itself insecure, Foothill (through
any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to
time hereafter upon reasonable prior notification to Borrower and during normal
business hours, to inspect FRI-MRD's and its Subsidiaries' Books and to check,
test, and (subject to Section 2.11(d)) appraise the Collateral (and the
Guarantor Collateral) in order to verify Borrower's financial condition or the
amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the
Collateral (or the Guarantor Collateral).  After the time that an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or Foothill deems itself insecure,
Foothill (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the
right, from time to time thereafter, to inspect FRI-MRD's and its Subsidiaries'
Books and to check, test, and (subject to Section 2.11(d)) appraise the
Collateral (and the Guarantor Collateral) in order to verify Borrower's
financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other
matter relating to, the Collateral (or the Guarantor Collateral).

   6.8    Insurance.
          ----------

               (a) Keep their properties and assets insured against loss or
damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, and other hazards and risks, and
in such amounts, as are ordinarily insured against by other owners in similar
businesses. FRI-MRD and its Subsidiaries also shall maintain business
interruption, public liability, product liability, and property damage insurance
relating to their ownership and use of their properties and assets, and
insurance against larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation, in each
case, consistent with the coverages evidenced by the certificates of insurance
delivered pursuant to Section 3.1. Foothill agrees that Prandium or its
                      -----------
Subsidiaries may self-insure for workers compensation insurance, general
liability insurance, auto liability insurance, and health insurance, in each
case, consistent with past practices and for not more than $500,000 per
occurrence.

               (b) Obtain and maintain to the extent available (i) insurance of
the type necessary to insure their properties and assets for the full
replacement cost thereof, against loss by fire, lightning, windstorm, hail,
explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, vehicle damage, earthquakes, elevator
collision, and other risks included under "extended coverage" policies or an
"extended coverage" endorsement, in amounts as are ordinarily insured against by
other similar companies in the same industry, but in any event in amounts
sufficient to prevent FRI-MRD or Borrower, as applicable, from becoming a co-
insurer under such policies, and (ii) combined single limit bodily injury and
property damage liability insurance against any loss, liability, or damages on,
about, or relating to each parcel of Real Property Collateral, in an amount of
not less than $1,000,000; provided, however, that FRI-MRD and its Subsidiaries
only shall be required to use their reasonable best efforts to maintain
earthquake insurance, in amounts and subject to deductibles consistent with
those ordinarily insured against by other similar companies in the same
industry, so long as it is available at reasonable commercial rates.

               (c) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with
such companies, and in such amounts as may be reasonably satisfactory to
Foothill. Insurance policies covering property and assets against loss by fire,
lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, earthquake,
elevator collisions and other risks included under an "extended coverage"
endorsement shall contain a California Form 438BFU (NS) mortgagee endorsement,
or an equivalent endorsement satisfactory to Foothill, showing Foothill as a
loss payee thereof as its interests may appear, and shall contain a waiver of
warranties. All such insurance (with the exception of workers' compensation and
health insurance policies and policies of insurance covering the property or
assets of HGI) shall name Foothill as an additional insured as its interest may
appear. Every policy of insurance referred to in this Section 6.8 (with the
                                                      -----------
exception of workers' compensation and health insurance policies and policies of
insurance covering the property or assets of HGI) shall contain an agreement by
the insurer that it will not cancel such policy except after 10 days prior
written notice to Foothill. Certified copies or originals of such policies or
certificates thereof satisfactory to Foothill evidencing such insurance shall be
delivered to Foothill prior to the expiration or cancellation of the existing or
preceding policies. Each of FRI-MRD and

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

Borrower shall deliver to Foothill, upon the request of Foothill, evidence of
the payment of all premiums for such policies of insurance.

          (d) Each of FRI-MRD and Borrower shall give Foothill prompt notice of
any loss or damage to their properties and assets by fire, lightning, windstorm,
hail, explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, vehicle damage, earthquake, elevator
collision, and other risks included under an "extended coverage" endorsement
covered by such insurance in excess of $250,000.  With the exception of
insurance policies covering the property or assets of HGI, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Foothill shall have the
exclusive right to adjust all losses payable under the applicable insurance
policies without any liability to FRI-MRD or Borrower, as applicable, whatsoever
in respect of such adjustments.  Any monies received as payment for any loss or
damage to their properties and assets by fire, lightning, windstorm, hail,
explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, vehicle damage, earthquake, elevator
collision, and other risks included under an "extended coverage" endorsement
under the applicable insurance policy (exclusive of any casualty loss wherein
the insurance proceeds are less than $50,000 and excluding insurance proceeds
received with respect to the assets or properties of HGI), shall be paid over to
Foothill, and FRI-MRD and Borrower shall have the right to designate in writing
to Foothill within 45 days of such payment whether such payment shall be (i)
applied to the prepayment of the Obligations without premium, in such order or
manner as Foothill may elect, or (ii) disbursed to FRI-MRD or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, under staged payment terms satisfactory to Foothill for application
to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 6.8(d).  In the event Foothill fails to
                             --------------
receive timely such written designation or the conditions set forth in the
following sentence are not satisfied, the payment shall be applied in the manner
set forth in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence.  If FRI-MRD and
             ----------
Borrower elect to cause Foothill to disburse any monies received as payment for
any loss pursuant to this Section 6.8(d), Foothill only shall be obligated to
                          --------------
disburse such money for the repair, replacement or restoration of the affected
property or assets if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from
the disbursement or application of such monies; (B) FRI-MRD or Borrower have
cash, cash equivalents, Availability, and/or business interruption insurance
proceeds in amounts sufficient, in Foothill's reasonable judgment, to ensure
that Borrower will be able to make payment as and when due of each of its direct
Obligations that will be payable during the period of such repair, replacement,
or restoration; (C) Foothill is reasonably satisfied that the amount of such
cash, cash equivalents, borrowing availability, and/or insurance proceeds will
be sufficient fully to repair, replace, or restore the affected property or
assets; (D) construction, completion of the repair, replacement, or restoration
of the affected property or assets shall be completed in accordance with plans,
specifications, and drawings submitted to and approved by Foothill, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (E) all construction and
completion of the repair, replacement, or restoration shall be effected with
reasonable promptness and shall be of a value (the "Replaced Value") (i) at
least equal to the replacement value (the "Destroyed Value") of such items of
property destroyed or condemned prior to such destruction or condemnation, or
(ii) less than the Destroyed Value so long as the difference between the
Destroyed Value and the Replaced Value is applied to

                                      -46-
<PAGE>

the prepayment of the Obligations without premium, in such order or manner as
Foothill may elect; and (f) all monies paid by Borrower to Foothill may be
commingled with other funds of Foothill and will not bear interest pending
disbursement hereunder. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Foothill shall have the right to apply all prepaid premiums to
the payment of the Obligations in such order or form as Foothill shall
determine.

   6.9    No Setoffs or Counterclaims.  Unless otherwise required by
          ---------------------------
applicable law, all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents made
by or on behalf of FRI-MRD or Borrower shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim.

   6.10   Location of Inventory and Equipment.  With the exception of the
          -----------------------------------
Inventory and Equipment of HGI, keep their Inventory and Equipment only at or
in-transit between the locations identified on Schedule 6.10; provided, however,
that Borrower may amend Schedule 6.10 so long as such amendment occurs by
written notice to Foothill not less than 30 days prior to the date on which the
Inventory or Equipment is moved to such new location, so long as such new
location is within the continental United States, and so long as, at the time of
such written notification, FRI-MRD or its Subsidiary, as applicable, provides
any financing statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue
perfected Foothill's security interests in such assets.

   6.11   Compliance with Laws.  Comply, in all material respects, with the
          --------------------
requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any
governmental authority, including the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Americans
With Disabilities Act, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-
compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have and
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

   6.12   Employee Benefits.

               (a) (i) Promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days after
FRI-MRD or any of its Subsidiaries knows or has reason to know that an ERISA
Event has occurred that reasonably could be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Change, a written statement of the chief financial officer of FRI-MRD
and Borrower describing such ERISA Event and any action that is being taking
with respect thereto by FRI-MRD or Borrower, any such Subsidiary or ERISA
Affiliate, and any action taken or threatened by the IRS, Department of Labor,
or PBGC and (ii) promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days after the
filing thereof with the IRS, a copy of each funding waiver request filed with
respect to any Benefit Plan and, within 10 days of receipt by FRI-MRD or any of
its Subsidiaries, all written communications received by FRI-MRD, any of its
Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of FRI-MRD or Borrower, any ERISA Affiliate

applicable, shall be deemed to know all facts known by the administrator of any
Benefit Plan of which it is the plan sponsor.

               (b) FRI-MRD and Borrower will cause to be delivered to Foothill,
upon Foothill's request, each of the following: (i) a copy of each Plan (or,

Borrower, or any ERISA Affiliate regarding withdrawal liability under any
Multiemployer Plan.

     6.13   Leases.  Pay when due all rents and other amounts payable under

any material leases to which FRI-MRD or its Subsidiaries is a party or by which
their properties and assets are bound (other than amounts of which they are
unaware or that in the aggregate are de minimis amount), unless such payments
are the subject of a Permitted Protest.  To the extent that FRI-MRD or its
Subsidiaries fail timely to make payment of such rents and other amounts payable
when due under its leases, Foothill shall be entitled, in its discretion, to
reserve an amount equal to such unpaid amounts against the Borrowing Base until
such amounts are actually paid in full.

obligations thereunder, or (b) results in a right by such third Person(s),
irrespective of whether exercised, to accelerate the maturity of FRI-MRD's or
its Subsidiaries' obligations thereunder or to terminate the subject agreement;

     8.11 If Borrower makes any payment on account of Indebtedness that has been

9. FOOTHILL'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

     9.1  Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation,
          -------------------
of an Event of Default Foothill may, at its election, without notice of its
election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which
are authorized by FRI-MRD and Borrower:

          (a)  Declare all Obligations, evidenced by this Agreement, or any of
the other Loan Documents, immediately due and payable;

          (b)  Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit
of Borrower under this Agreement, or under any of the Loan Documents;

          (c)  Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as
to any future liability or obligation of Foothill, but without affecting
Foothill's rights and security interests in the Personal Property Collateral or
the Real Property Collateral and without affecting the Obligations;

          (d)  [intentionally omitted]

          (e)  [intentionally omitted]

          (f)  Without notice to or demand upon FRI-MRD or Borrower or any

necessary to protect its security interests in the Collateral.  Borrower agrees
to assemble the Personal Property Collateral if Foothill so requires, and to
make the Personal Property Collateral available to Foothill as Foothill may
designate.  Borrower authorizes Foothill to enter the premises where the
Personal Property Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the
Personal Property Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or Lien that in Foothill's reasonable
determination appears to conflict with its security interests and to pay all
expenses incurred in connection therewith.  With respect to any of FRI-MRD's or
Borrower's owned or leased premises, each of them hereby grants Foothill a
license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same,
without charge, for up to 120 days in order to exercise any of Foothill's rights
or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

Personal Property Collateral.  Foothill is hereby granted a license or other
right to use, without charge, FRI-MRD's and Borrower's labels, patents,
copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as
it pertains to the Personal Property Collateral, in advertising for sale and
selling any Personal Property Collateral and FRI-MRD's and Borrower's rights
under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Foothill's
benefit;

          (j)  Sell the Personal Property Collateral at either a public or
private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash
or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including FRI-MRD's and
Borrower's premises) as Foothill determines is commercially reasonable.  It is
not necessary that the Personal Property Collateral be present at any such sale;

          (k)  Foothill shall give notice of the disposition of the Personal
Property Collateral as follows:

          (i) Foothill shall give Borrower and each holder of a security
     interest in the Personal Property Collateral who has filed with Foothill a
     written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of
     public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition
     other than a public sale is to be made of the Personal Property Collateral,
     then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to
     be made;

          (ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage
     prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 12, at least 10 days before the
                                         ----------
     date fixed for the sale, or at least 10 days before the date on or after
     which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; no notice needs
     to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Personal
     Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in
     value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Notice
     to Persons other than Borrower claiming an interest in the Personal
     Property Collateral shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished
     to Foothill;

          (iii) If the sale is to be a public sale, Foothill also shall give
     notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time at least 10
     days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in
     the county in which the sale is to be held;

          (l)  Foothill may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

          (m)  Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Personal
Property Collateral as provided above will be paid promptly (and in any event
within 2 Business Days) by FRI-MRD and the other Guarantors (pursuant to their
respective Guaranty) and Borrower. Any excess will be returned promptly, without
interest and subject to the rights of third Persons, by Foothill to Borrower.

          Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the
occurrence of and during the continuation of a Triggering Event Foothill shall
have the right to (a) exercise any of its default remedies with respect to the
Concentration Accounts or any other deposit accounts of Prandium or its
Subsidiaries, (b) exercise any of its default remedies with respect to the
Investment Property, or (c) notify the applicable financial intermediary to
liquidate or transfer the securities entitlements in any Securities Account and
remit the proceeds thereof to the Foothill Account.  At any time that a
Triggering Event has not occurred and is continuing Foothill shall not exercise
any of the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence; provided,
                                                                   --------
however, that except as expressly set forth in this paragraph, nothing in this
-------
paragraph shall be deemed to restrict the right of Foothill to exercise any of
its other rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.

     9.2  Remedies Cumulative.  Foothill's rights and remedies under this
          -------------------
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative.  Foothill shall have
all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Foothill of one right or remedy
shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Foothill of any Event of Default
shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No delay by Foothill shall constitute a
waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10.  TAXES AND EXPENSES.

          If FRI-MRD or any of its Subsidiaries fails to pay any monies (whether
taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or
assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons,
or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or
deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, then, to the extent that Foothill determines that such failure by
FRI-MRD or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Collateral Change, without prior notice to FRI-MRD or Borrower,
Foothill may do any or all of the following:  (a) make payment of the same or
any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves in one or more of the Loan Accounts
as Foothill reasonably deems necessary to protect Foothill from the exposure
created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the
type described in Section 6.8, and take any action with respect to such policies
                  -----------
as Foothill reasonably deems prudent.  Any such amounts paid by Foothill shall
constitute Foothill Expenses.  Any such payments made by Foothill shall not
constitute an agreement by Foothill to make similar payments in the future or a
waiver by Foothill of any Event of Default under this Agreement.  Foothill need
not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien
and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall for
purposes of this Agreement be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due
and owing.  Foothill agrees to endeavor in good faith promptly

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

to provide notice to FRI-MRD or Borrower of any action taken by Foothill under
this Section 10, but the failure of Foothill to do so (except if such failure is
     ----------
the result of Foothill's bad faith) shall not create any liability whatsoever on
the part of Foothill.

11.  WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

     11.1  Demand; Protest; etc.  Each of FRI-MRD and Borrower waives, to the
           --------------------
extent permitted by law, all demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of
default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity,
release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents,
instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Foothill on which
FRI-MRD or Borrower may in any way be liable.

     11.2 Foothill's Liability for Collateral.  So long as Foothill complies
          -----------------------------------
with its obligations, if any, under Section 9207 of the Code, Foothill shall not
in any way or manner be liable or responsible for:  (a) the safekeeping of the
Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or
fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; (d) any act or
default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other
Person; or (e) any risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral or the
Guarantor Collateral.

     11.3 Indemnification.  Each of FRI-MRD and Borrower, jointly and severally,
          ---------------
shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold Foothill, each Participant, and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, and attorneys-
in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent
permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions,
investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and
disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in
connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether
suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any
of them in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance, and administration of this Agreement and any
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein, and with respect
to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder
(irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act,
omission, event or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the
foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities").  Each of FRI-MRD and
Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section
11.3:  (a) with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person; (b) with respect to any
settlement in excess of $250,000 made without Borrower's consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and which consent need not
be obtained if FRI-MRD or Borrower is in default of its obligations under this
Section 11.3); or (c) without Borrower's consent (which shall not be reasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed and which consent need not be obtained if FRI-
MRD or Borrower is in default of its obligations under this Section 11.3), for
the fees and disbursements of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all
Indemnified Persons relative to a particular

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

Indemnified Liability.  This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations for a period of two years (and
shall continue thereafter with respect to claims made or asserted during such
period).

12.  NOTICES.

          Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by
any party relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in

which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally

                     ----------
WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION

return.

15.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

     15.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective
          -------------
upon the later of (a) the execution of this Agreement by Prandium, FRI-MRD,
Borrower, FRI-Admin, the Borrower's Subsidiaries, and Foothill and (b) the
Closing Date.

     15.2 Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
          ----------------------
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties;
provided, however, that FRI-MRD and Borrower may not assign this Agreement or
any rights or duties hereunder without Foothill's prior written consent and any
prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void.  No consent to an assignment by
Foothill shall release FRI-MRD or Borrower from their respective Obligations.
Foothill may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder and no
consent or approval by FRI-MRD or Borrower is required in connection with any
such assignment and Foothill reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer,
negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in
Foothill's rights and benefits hereunder; in each case, so long as, after giving
effect thereto, Foothill or its Affiliates retain commitments of not less than
ten thirty-fifths (10/35ths) of the Maximum Amount.  In connection with any such
assignment or participation, Foothill may disclose all documents and information
which Foothill now or hereafter may have relating to FRI-MRD and Borrower or
their respective businesses.  To the extent that Foothill assigns its rights and
obligations hereunder to a third Person, Foothill thereafter shall be released
from such assigned obligations to FRI-MRD and Borrower and such assignment shall
effect a novation between FRI-MRD and Borrower, on the one hand, and such third
Person, on the other hand.

     15.3 Section Headings.  Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for
          ----------------
convenience only.  Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything
contained in each section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

     15.4 Interpretation.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or
          --------------
ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Foothill, FRI-MRD, or
Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  On the contrary,
this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly
accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

     15.5 Severability of Provisions.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be
          --------------------------
severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

     15.6 Amendments in Writing.  This Agreement can only be amended by a
          ---------------------
writing signed by Foothill, FRI-MRD, and Borrower.

     15.7 Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution.  This Agreement may be executed
          -------------------------------------
in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts,
each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original,
and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement.  Any party delivering an

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and
binding effect of this Agreement.

     15.8  Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.  If the incurrence or
           ----------------------------------------
payment of the Obligations by Borrower, or any Guarantor or the transfer by any
or all of such parties to Foothill of any property of any or all of such parties
should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any
state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, and other
voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property
(collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if Foothill is required to repay or
restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so
upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable
Transfer, or the amount thereof that Foothill is required or elects to repay or
restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of
Foothill related thereto, the liability of Borrower, or such Guarantor
automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as
though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

     15.9  Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
           -----------
reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by
any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

     15.10 Confidentiality.  Foothill agrees that material, non-public
           ---------------
information regarding Prandium and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets,
and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by Foothill in a
confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by it to Persons who are not
parties to this Agreement, except:  (a) to counsel for and other advisors,
accountants, and auditors to Foothill, (b) as may be required by statute,
decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (c) as may
be agreed to in advance by Borrower, (d) as to any such information that is or
becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited
disclosure by Foothill), and (e) in connection with any assignment, prospective
assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participation,
or pledge or prospective pledge of Foothill's interests under this Agreement,
provided that any such counsel, advisors, accountants, auditors and any such
assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant,
prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in
writing to take its interest hereunder subject to the terms hereof.  The
provisions of this Section 15.10 shall survive for 2 years after the full and
final repayment of the Obligations.

     15.11 Guarantors.  By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
           ----------
Guarantor hereby agrees to be bound by each of the provisions hereof applicable
to such Guarantor or the assets and properties thereof and hereby agrees to
guaranty the Obligations, as more particularly set forth in the Guaranty to
which it is party and whose terms and conditions are by this reference
incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.
