Exhibit 10.1

MASTER GRID NOTE

	 	 	 
	$35,000,000.00

	 	Executed at Columbus, Ohio
	 

	 	December 24, 2008

ON DEMAND, for value received, BEF HOLDING CO., INC., a Delaware corporation (“Debtor”) promises to
pay to the order of NATIONAL CITY BANK, a national banking association (“Bank”), having a banking
office at 155 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio, at any office of Bank,

THIRTY-FIVE MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($35,000,000.00)

(or, if less, the unpaid principal balance shown on the reverse side or any allonge thereto or as
recorded in Bank’s loan account records which may be evidenced by computer print-out), in lawful
money of the United States, with interest on each advance hereunder payable on the date such
advance is repaid and on demand, and computed (on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual days
elapsed) at a per annum rate of interest as agreed to by Debtor and Bank at the time of each
request for an advance hereunder and fixed for the duration such advance is outstanding, which rate
of interest shall be confirmed in writing by Bank to Debtor after the date such advance is made.

This note does not of itself constitute a commitment by Bank to make any advance or advances to
Debtor; this note merely represents an arrangement whereby, for Debtor’s convenience, Debtor may
obtain advances without giving Bank a separate note each time. Bank may endorse on the reverse
side (or any allonge thereto or in Bank’s loan account records which may be evidenced by computer
print-out) the date and amount of each advance. Debtor agrees that each such endorsement or
notation shall be prima facie evidence that the advance indicated was made on the date indicated.

There is no limit to the amount of such advances, EXCEPT that the maximum principal balance
outstanding at any one time hereunder shall not exceed the face amount of $35,000,000.00, LESS the
principal balance outstanding under that certain $35,000,000.00 Master Grid Note dated of even date
herewith made by Debtor’s affiliate, BEF REIT, INC., an Ohio corporation, in favor of Bank (the
“BEF REIT Note”). Debtor acknowledges that the effect of the foregoing sentence is to limit the
aggregate principal balance outstanding under this note and the BEF REIT Note to a combined maximum
of $35,000,000.00. For purposes of this paragraph, the “principal balance outstanding” under this
note shall include the sum of (a) the principal amount of all amounts advanced and outstanding as
loans under this note, (b) the principal amount of any requests for advances submitted to Bank but
not yet funded under this note, (c) the face amount of any standby letters of credit issued by Bank
and in effect under this note, and (d) the face amount of any requests for standby letters of
credit submitted to Bank but not yet issued under this note. For purposes of this paragraph, the
“principal balance outstanding” under the BEF REIT Note shall include the sum of (w) the principal
amount of all amounts advanced and outstanding as loans under the BEF REIT Note, (x) the principal
amount of any requests for advances submitted to Bank but not yet funded under the BEF REIT Note,
(y) the face amount of any standby letters of credit issued by Bank and in effect under the BEF
REIT Note, and (z)
the face amount of any requests for standby letters of credit submitted to Bank but not yet issued
under the BEF REIT Note.

No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver of such right or of any other right under this note. If any provision of this note shall be
declared illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed cancelled to the same extent as
though it never had appeared herein, but the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

Debtor hereby authorizes any attorney at law to appear at any time in any State or Federal court of
record in the United States of America, to waive the issuance and service of process, to confess
judgment against Debtor in favor of the holder of this note for the amount then appearing due,
together with interest and costs of suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights
of appeal and stays of execution. Should any judgment be vacated for any reason this warrant of
attorney nevertheless may be used for obtaining additional judgments.

This note shall be governed by Ohio law.

WARNING—BY SIGNING THIS PAPER YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND COURT TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT PAY
