Agreement Regarding Use of Trademarks

 EXHIBIT 10 (c) 
 AGREEMENT REGARDING USE OF TRADEMARKS 
 This Agreement is made and entered into between
FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS, INC., an Ohio Corporation with a business address of 2800 Gilbert Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45206 (hereinafter “FRISCH’S”), and BIG BOY RESTAURANTS INTERNATIONAL, LLC, a Michigan Limited
Liability Company, with a business address of 4199 Marcy, Warren, Michigan 48091-1799 (hereinafter “BIG BOY”) (formerly known as Liggett Restaurant Enterprises LLC (“Liggett” or “LRE”)). 
 The purpose of this Agreement is to acknowledge and confirm the scope and terms of the Intellectual Property Use and Non-Compete Agreement reached
between FRISCH’S and BIG BOY on January 12, 2001 (referred to hereinafter as the “2001 Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes under this
Agreement; to enable the parties to continue operating under their respective rights in and to the BIG BOY trademark within certain defined geographic territories; and to resolve the Concurrent Use Proceedings currently pending in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. 
 BACKGROUND 
 1.1 FRISCH’S and BIG BOY entered into an Intellectual Property Use and Non-Compete Agreement on January 12, 2001 concerning their respective
rights to use and to federally register certain marks, including, in particular, the BIG BOY trademark (the “BIG BOY Trademark”). 
 1.2 Liggett is the predecessor in interest of BIG BOY. Wherever Liggett appears in the 2001 Agreement, and in this Agreement, “Liggett” shall be understood to refer to BIG BOY. 
 1.3 Paragraph 1.(a) of Attachment 2 to the 2001 Agreement (entitled “Transfer Agreement”) states: 
 1.(a) Frisch’s Core Territory. At the Closing, as defined hereafter in Section 5, Liggett shall convey to Frisch’s complete, absolute,
perpetual and irrevocable ownership of the Big Boy Rights within Frisch’s Core Territory. Liggett shall retain complete, absolute, perpetual and irrevocable ownership of the Big Boy Rights outside of Frisch’s Core Territory.
Liggett’s and Frisch’s respective ownership of the Big Boy Rights will be further perfected by the filing with the U.S. Trademark Office of concurrent registration documents evidencing Frisch’s and Liggett’s ownership of such
rights within their respective territories. Liggett will cooperate with Frisch’s in the preparation and filing of all necessary documents. (...)

 EXHIBIT 10 (c) 
  

 1.4 Paragraph 1.(b) of the Transfer Agreement states: 
 (b) Concurrent Use. Concurrently with the signing of this Agreement, the parties shall sign the Limited Concurrent Use Consent Agreement attached
as Exhibit D, which is expected to be used as an exhibit by Frisch’s in its application(s) to be filed in the U.S. Trademark Office to register as a concurrent use registrant of all of the trademarks and service marks contained in or associated
with the Big Boy Rights. 
 1.5 Paragraph 2 of the Transfer Agreement states: 
 2. Assignment of Rights. At the Closing, LRE shall assign to Frisch’s, all of LRE’s rights and responsibilities as franchisor of the Big
Boy Rights within Frisch’s Core Territory (including, but not limited to, LRE’s rights as franchisor in any franchise Agreements where Frisch’s is franchisee), so that Frisch’s shall succeed to LRE’s position as franchisor
within Frisch’s Core Territory. Upon the transfer of the ownership of the Big Boy Rights within Frisch’s Core Territory, Frisch’s shall cease to be a franchisee of LRE and Frisch’s use of the Big Boy Rights within
Frisch’s Core Territory shall be unrestricted except to the extent otherwise provided in the “Intellectual Property Use and Non-Compete Agreement” of even date between Frisch’s and LRE. 
 1.6 Paragraph 4 of the 2001 Agreement states: 
 4. Defense of Big Boy Rights By Liggett. Liggett shall defend any challenges to the validity of the Big Boy Rights within the United States (other than infringement actions) which, if determined adversely, would have a material
adverse effect upon the Big Boy Rights within the Frisch’s Core Region, and the operation of Big Boy restaurants in connection therewith within Frisch’s Core Region... 
 1.7 Neither FRISCH’S nor BIG BOY disputes the validity of the foregoing provisions of the 2001 Agreement or the Transfer Agreement. FRISCH’S
and BIG BOY have continued to abide by the terms of the 2001 Agreement and the Transfer Agreement, and have upheld their respective undertakings thereunder, since January 2001 when the Agreements were executed. 
 1.8 Pursuant to permission granted to FRISCH’S in the 2001 Agreement and the Transfer Agreement, FRISCH’S has the right to use the BIG BOY
Trademark for tartar sauce, pies, and restaurant, drive through, and carry-out services (collectively 

  

 Page 2 of 5 

 EXHIBIT 10 (c) 
  

 
“FRISCH’S Goods and Services”) in certain defined geographic territories, as described in more detail herein below. 
 1.9 BIG BOY uses the marks set out in Exhibit B for the goods and services set out therein (collectively “BIG BOY Goods and Services”).

 1.10 Consistent with the allowances made for the filing of a Concurrent Use Application in Paragraph 1.(b) of the Transfer Agreement
referenced hereinabove, FRISCH’S filed a Concurrent Use Trademark Application to register the BIG BOY Trademark for the FRISCH’S Goods and Services, which application has been accorded U.S. Application Serial No. 76/391,539 (the
“Concurrent Use Application”), attached as Exhibit C. 
 1.11 The Concurrent Use Application has resulted in the filing of
Concurrent Use Proceeding No. 94002189. After reviewing the facts surrounding the respective uses of the parties, the parties do not believe that there is a present likelihood of confusion caused by the current respective uses and that such
uses to date have not resulted in any instances of actual confusion. The parties therefore believe that entry into the present Agreement, and consistent with their past undertakings in the 2001 Agreement and the Transfer Agreement, can minimize or
eliminate the possibility of confusion arising in the future. The parties desire to settle and compromise any issues relating to their respective uses in the United States pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 UNDERTAKING OF THE PARTIES 
 2.1 The
parties therefore agree to the following terms for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. 
 2.2 The Concurrent Use Application contains explicit restrictions as to the geographic territories in which the parties are entitled to use the BIG BOY Trademark, and identifies a list of federal trademark properties, all incorporating the
BIG BOY Trademark, subject to the parties’ concurrent use rights (See Exhibit B attached hereto). Specifically, in the 2001 Agreement, FRISCH’S agreed to restrict its use of the BIG BOY Trademark for the FRISCH’S Goods and Services to
the territory described as: 
 Indiana 
 Kentucky 
 Ohio, except for the following counties: Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Summit, Portage,
Geauga and Lake 
 Tennessee, except for the following counties: Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cooke, Cumberland, Fentress,
Grainger, Hamblen, Hancock, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Sevier and Union (hereinafter the “FRISCH’S Territory”).

 EXHIBIT 10 (c) 
  

 2.3 The Concurrent Use Application specifies that FRISCH’S seeks registration of the BIG BOY
Trademark for the FRISCH’S Goods and Services within the FRISCH’S Territory. 
 2.4 The Concurrent Use Application further
specifies that the exception to FRISCH’S exclusive right to use the BIG BOY Trademark is BIG BOY’s ownership rights in the BIG BOY Trademark, which arise anywhere outside of the FRISCH’S Territory (the “BIG BOY Territory”).

 2.5 BIG BOY, and its principal Anthony T. Michaels, CEO of Big Boy Restaurants International, LLC, expressly consented to FRISCH’S
filing of the Concurrent Use Application by his signature on the Application. (See Exhibit C attached hereto). 
 2.6 FRISCH’S agrees
that it will not use or advertise the BIG BOY Trademark in the BIG BOY Territory for BIG BOY Goods and Services. 
 2.7 BIG BOY agrees that
it will not use or advertise the BIG BOY Trademark in the FRISCH’S Territory for FRISCH’S Goods and Services. 
 2.8 FRISCH’S
agrees to always display the “FRISCH’S” name and mark in close proximity to each display of the BIG BOY Trademark on packaging and in marketing materials and displays, and in signage in the FRISCH’S Territory. Such use of the
“FRISCH’S” mark and name goes to preventing the possibility of consumer confusion. 
 2.9 The parties agree to reasonably
cooperate with each other to minimize the possibility of confusion in the future. In the unlikely event that an instance of confusion occurs, the parties will cooperate with each other to address any such instance. 
 2.10 BIG BOY agrees that neither it, nor anyone acting in concert with it, will contest the use of the BIG BOY Trademark by FRISCH’S that is
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, or seek to oppose or cancel any application or registration by FRISCH’S relating to use consistent with the terms of this Agreement of a mark that is comprised of the words BIG BOY or of a mark that
consists solely of the words BIG BOY with an associated design, provided that such use, application, or registration is for the FRISCH’S Goods and Services. In particular, BIG BOY will not oppose, and will work cooperatively with FRISCH’S,
to enable FRISCH’S to obtain registration of the BIG BOY Trademark for the FRISCH’S Goods and Services pending in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Application Serial No. 76/391,539. 
 2.11 FRISCH’S agrees that neither it, nor anyone acting in concert with it, will contest the use of the BIG BOY Trademark by BIG BOY, or seek to
oppose or cancel 

  

 Page 4 of 5 

 EXHIBIT 10 (c) 
  

 
any application or registration by BIG BOY relating to the BIG BOY Trademark that is comprised of the words BIG BOY or of a mark that consists solely of the
words BIG BOY with an associated design, provided that such use, application, or registration is for the BIG BOY Goods and Services and provided that the associated design is not likely to be confused with any pre-existing marks that FRISCH’S
may own. 
 2.12 This Agreement is entered with the purpose of minimizing or precluding any likelihood of confusion in the future.

 2.13 BIG BOY agrees to take all reasonable steps to dismiss FRISCH’S from Concurrent Use Proceeding No. 94002189 and to
cooperate with FRISCH’S to secure such dismissal. 
 2.14 The parties agree, without further consideration, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver such further documents that may be required to effectuate the intent of this Agreement and the intent of the 2001 Agreement. 
 2.15
The parties agree that this Agreement does not amend, alter, restrict, modify, change or supersede any provisions of the 2001 Agreements, such as but not limited to Paragraph 1 of the Transfer Agreement, and if any such conflict may arise, the 2001
Agreements shall control. 
 2.16 The terms of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns,
employees, officers, attorneys and subsidiaries of the parties. 
 2.17 This Agreement has been executed by the duly authorized officers of
the parties on the dates indicated below and shall be deemed effective as of the last date of execution.

 EXHIBIT 10 (f) 1) 
 AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT 
 [GOLDEN CORRAL] 
 THIS AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT [GOLDEN CORRAL] is made as of December 3, 2007 (this
“Amendment”) by and between U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association formerly known as Firstar Bank, N.A. and Star Bank, National Association (together with its successors and assigns, the
“Bank”), and FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS, INC., an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), with respect to the First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement [Golden Corral] entered into as of October 15,
2004 by the Bank and the Borrower (as the same has been amended and/or supplemented from time to time, and as the same may be further amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time) (the
“Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement as amended hereby. 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank have entered into the Agreement;
and 
 WHEREAS, the Bank has advanced Loans to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the Bank and the Borrower have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Agreement as
specifically set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Amendments to Section 2 of the Agreement. Section 2(r) shall be deleted and replaced with the following, and the following Section 2(s) shall be added to the Agreement: 

(r) Deposit Accounts. The Borrower will maintain its primary deposit accounts at the Bank so long as any obligations to the
Bank, whether under the Loans or otherwise, remain outstanding. 
 (s) Waiver. Any variance from the covenants of the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2 shall be permitted only with the prior written consent and/or waiver of the Bank. Any such variance by consent and/or waiver shall relate solely to the variance addressed in such consent and/or waiver,
and shall not operate as the Bank’s consent and/or waiver to any other variance of the same covenant or other covenants, nor shall it preclude the exercise by the Bank of any power or right under this Agreement, other than with respect to such
variance. 

 Section 2. Amendments to Section 4 of the Agreement. Sections 4(a) and
(b) of the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: 
 (a) Loans. Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to there being no Event of Default (or event which might, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, mature into an Event of Default) by the Borrower hereunder, the Bank agrees to make
loans to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) Eighty-Nine Million Dollars ($89,000,000) (the “Total Commitment Amount”) or (ii) the amount necessary to construct and open the Restaurants
(collectively, the “Loans”); provided, however, that at no time shall the ratio of (A) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans plus all other Senior Bank Debt (as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto)
to (B) Borrower’s EBITDA (as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto) exceed 2.00 to 1.0. In the event that any of the upper limits described in the immediately preceding sentence shall at any time be exceeded, the Borrower shall
immediately, without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans such that the upper limits set forth in the immediately preceding sentence are not exceeded. 
 The Borrower shall provide the Bank notice of the Borrower’s desire to obtain Loan proceeds for the purpose of constructing and
opening any particular Restaurant, which notice shall state the amount of the Loan requested and the location of the particular Restaurant. The term “Business Day” as used herein shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
holiday on which banks in Cincinnati, Ohio are required or authorized by law to close. The Loans shall be effectuated by the Bank crediting an account maintained by the Borrower at the Bank. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans shall be reason
for any relending or additional lending of proceeds of the Loans to the Borrower, and no Loan proceeds shall be disbursed after August 31, 2010. The outstanding principal balance of each Loan which has not been converted into a Term Loan (as
hereinafter defined) in accordance with the next paragraph hereof (such Loans which have not been so converted being collectively referred to herein as “Construction Loans”) shall mature and be payable in full on September 1,
2010 (the “Construction Loan Maturity Date”), unless the maturity thereof is accelerated as described herein. As of December 3, 2007, as a result of the prior draws by the Borrower under the Loans and prior conversions
of Construction Loans to Term Loans, of the maximum Eighty-Nine Million Dollar ($89,000,000) Construction Loan facility, (i) Seventy-Four Million Dollars ($74,000,000) has been drawn by the Borrower under the Construction Loans
and already been converted to Term Loans or currently remains outstanding as Construction Loans and (ii) a maximum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) still remains available to be drawn by the Borrower under the Construction Loans.
The Construction Loans shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Construction Note”). 
 Upon the substantial completion of construction of each Restaurant the construction or opening of which has been financed with Loan
proceeds, the 

  

 2 

 
Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of the date thereof (each such date being referred to herein as a “Completion Date”).
Within six (6) months after the Completion Date of each such Restaurant, the Borrower shall elect to convert the outstanding principal balance of all Loans obtained for the purpose of constructing or opening of such Restaurant to a term loan
with a maturity date that is not less than seven (7) nor greater than twelve (12) years after the Conversion Date (each such Loan being referred to herein as a “Term Loan”), by providing ten (10) Business Days prior
written notice to the Bank of (i) the date on which the Borrower desires such conversion to be effective (the “Conversion Date”), which date must be the first day of a calendar month and not later than the date which is six
(6) months after the Completion Date, (ii) the maturity date elected by the Borrower for such Term Loan (each, a “Term Loan Maturity Date”; the Term Loan Maturity Dates and the Construction Loan Maturity Date are each
sometimes referred to herein as a “Maturity Date”), which Maturity Date shall not be earlier than the date which is seven (7) years after the Conversion Date nor later than the date which is twelve (12) years after the
Conversion Date, and (iii) if the Borrower desires that such Term Loan bear interest at the Cost of Funds-Based Rate (as hereinafter defined), the irrevocable commitment by the Borrower to accept and be bound by its election of such Cost of
Funds-Based Rate until the Maturity Date of such Term Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the option to extend the Maturity Date of any Term Loan having a Conversion Date after December 3, 2007 once during the
term thereof to a date not later than twelve (12) years after the Conversion Date, by providing no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Bank of its intent to exercise such option. 
 Each Term Loan which bears interest at the Cost of Funds-Based Rate shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note in substantially the form of
Exhibit G-1 attached hereto with all blanks appropriately completed and each Term Loan which does not bear interest at the Cost of Funds-Based Rate shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note in substantially the form of Exhibit G-2
attached hereto with all blanks appropriately completed (each, a “Term Note”; the Term Notes and the Construction Note are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”). 
 (b) Interest. “Prime Rate” means the prime rate announced by the Bank from time to time, as and when such rate
changes. Interest on each advance of the Construction Loans hereunder (prior to conversion to a Term Loan) shall accrue at one of the following per annum rates selected by the Borrower: (i) upon notice to the Bank, the then applicable Prime
Margin (as hereinafter defined) plus the Prime Rate (a “Prime Rate Loan”); (ii) upon a minimum of two New York Banking Days prior notice, the then applicable LIBOR/Money Market Margin (as hereinafter defined) plus the 1, 2, or
3 month LIBOR rate quoted by the Bank from Telerate Page 3750 or any successor thereto (which shall be the LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to commencement of the advance), adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent
costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “LIBOR Rate Loan”); or (iii) upon notice to 

  

 3 

 
the Bank, the then applicable LIBOR/Money Market Margin plus the rate, determined solely by the Bank, at which the Bank would be able to borrow funds of
comparable amounts in the Money Markets for a 1, 2, or 3 month period, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “Money Market Rate Loan”). 
 The term “New York Banking Day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for
business in New York, New York. 
 The term “Money Markets” refers to one or more wholesale funding markets
available to and selected by the Bank, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, Eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds, interest rate swaps, or others. 
 In the event the Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two New York Banking Days before the end of the
Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan, the Bank may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, but until such conversion, the funds advanced under
the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan Period. 
 The term “Loan Period” means the period commencing on the advance date of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market
Rate Loan and ending on the numerically corresponding day 1, 2, or 3 months thereafter matching the interest rate term selected by the Borrower; provided, however, (y) if any Loan Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a New York
Banking Day, then the Loan Period shall end on the next succeeding New York Banking Day unless the next succeeding New York Banking Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the Loan Period shall end on the immediately preceding New York
Banking Day; or (z) if any Loan Period begins on the last New York Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of the Loan Period), then the Loan Period shall
end on the last New York Banking Day of the calendar month at the end of such Loan Period. 
 No LIBOR Rate Loan or Money
Market Rate Loan may extend beyond the Construction Loan Maturity Date in the case of the Construction Loans. In any event, if the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan should happen to extend beyond the Construction Loan
Maturity Date in the case of the Construction Loans, such Construction Loans must be prepaid at the Construction Loan Maturity Date. The Bank’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest
error. Each LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal 

  

 4 

 
amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and in increments of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) thereafter. 
 If a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the Loan Period, as defined above, for such loan, whether
voluntarily or because prepayment is required due to such loan’s maturing or accelerating upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay all of the Bank’s costs, expenses, and Interest Differential (as determined by the Bank)
incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Bank resulting from prepayment, calculated as the difference between
the amount of interest the Bank would have earned (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the first day of the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan) had prepayment not occurred and the interest the Bank will actually earn (from like
investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be
discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such loan. 
 Any portion of the Construction Loans which is not at that time a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be a Prime Rate Loan.

 The “LIBOR/Money Market Margin” is currently one hundred twenty-five (125) basis points and shall be
subject to adjustment on each March 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s
then-current fiscal year and ending on the last day of the second quarter of such fiscal year and on each September 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to
EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s immediately preceding fiscal year and ending on the last day of such fiscal year, as follows: if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is 1.50 to 1.0 or
greater, the LIBOR/Money Market Margin shall be one hundred fifty (150) basis points; if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.50 to 1.0 but equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.0, the LIBOR/Money Market Margin
shall be one hundred twenty-five (125) basis points; and if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.00 to 1.0, the LIBOR/Money Market Margin shall be one hundred five (105) basis points. Such adjustments
shall be based upon the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA as determined from the financial statements delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) or (ii) hereof, as applicable. The foregoing provisions are
not intended to, and shall not be construed to, authorize any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant or constitute a waiver thereof or any commitment by the Bank to waive any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant.

  

 5 

 The “Prime Margin” is currently negative seventy-five (-75) basis points
and shall be subject to adjustment on each March 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the
Borrower’s then-current fiscal year and ending on the last day of the second quarter of such fiscal year and on each September 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior
Bank Debt to EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s immediately preceding fiscal year and ending on the last day of such fiscal year, as follows: if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is 1.50 to
1.0 or greater, the Prime Margin shall be negative fifty (-50) basis points; if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.50 to 1.0 but equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.0, the Prime Margin shall be negative
seventy-five (-75) basis points; and if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.00 to 1.0, the Prime Margin shall be negative one hundred (-100) basis points. Such adjustments shall be based upon the Borrower’s
ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA as determined from the financial statements delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) or (ii) hereof, as applicable. The foregoing provisions are not intended to, and shall not be
construed to, authorize any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant or constitute a waiver thereof or any commitment by the Bank to waive any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant. 
 Upon conversion of a Construction Loan to a Term Loan, the Borrower shall choose that interest on such Term Loan shall accrue after such
Term Loan’s Conversion Date as provided under either Option A or Option B that follows (with Option B only being available as a choice to the Borrower so long as no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, might mature into an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing): (A) under Option A (which shall be known as a “Variable Rate Term Loan”), for which Borrower shall execute a Promissory Note in
substantially the form of Exhibit G-2 attached hereto, interest on such Variable Rate Term Loan shall accrue after such Variable Rate Term Loan’s Conversion Date at any of the following per annum rates selected by the Borrower:
(x) upon notice to the Bank, as a Prime Rate Loan at the then applicable Prime Margin plus the Prime Rate; (y) upon a minimum of two New York Banking Days prior notice, as a LIBOR Rate Loan at the then applicable LIBOR/Money Market Margin
plus the 1, 2, or 3 month LIBOR rate quoted by the Bank from Telerate Page 3750 or any successor thereto (which shall be the LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to commencement of the advance), adjusted for any reserve requirement
and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation; or (z) upon notice to the Bank, as a Money Market Rate Loan at the then applicable LIBOR/Money Market Margin plus the rate, determined solely by the Bank, at which the
Bank would be able to borrow funds of comparable amounts in the Money Markets for a 1, 2, or 3 month period, adjusted for any reserve 

  

 6 

 
requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation; or (B) under Option B (which shall be known as a “Cost of
Funds Rate Term Loan”), for which Borrower shall execute a Promissory Note in substantially the form of Exhibit G-1 attached hereto, interest on such Cost of Funds Rate Term Loan shall accrue after such Cost of Funds Rate Term
Loan’s Conversion Date at a fixed rate per annum equal to one hundred fifty (150) basis points plus the Bank’s Cost of Funds as of the Conversion Date (the “Cost of Funds-Based Rate”). 
 With respect to any Variable Rate Term Loan, in the event the Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two
New York Banking Days before the end of the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan, the Bank may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, but until
such conversion, the funds advanced under the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan
Period. No Variable Rate Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan may extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Variable Rate Term Loan. In any event, if the Loan Period for a Variable Rate Term Loan that is a LIBOR
Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan should happen to extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Variable Rate Term Loan, such Variable Rate Term Loan must be prepaid at its Term Loan Maturity Date. The Bank’s internal records of
applicable interest rates shall be determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each Variable Rate Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
and in increments of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) thereafter. If a Variable Rate Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Money Market Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the Loan Period for such loan, whether voluntarily or because
prepayment is required due to such loan’s maturing or accelerating upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay all of the Bank’s costs, expenses, and Interest Differential (as determined by the Bank) incurred as a result of such
prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of a Variable Rate Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Money Market
Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such loan. Any portion of a Variable Rate Term Loan which is not at that time a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be a Prime Rate Loan. 
 With respect to any Cost of Funds Rate Term Loan, the term “Cost of Funds” means the rate at which the Bank would be able
to borrow funds of comparable amounts in the Money Markets for a period equal to the remaining term of such Cost of Funds Rate Term Loan, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation,
with

	 $89,000,000
	  		  	Cincinnati, Ohio
		  		  	December 3, 2007

 FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS, INC., an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association formerly known as Firstar Bank, N.A. and Star Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), or it successors or assigns, on
or before September 1, 2010, the principal sum of Eighty-Nine Million Dollars ($89,000,000), or such portion thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. 
 This is the Construction Note referred to in, was executed and delivered pursuant to, and evidences indebtedness of the Borrower incurred under, that
certain First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement [Golden Corral] dated as of October 15, 2004 between the Borrower and the Bank, as the same has been and/or may be amended, restated, supplemented, renewed, or otherwise modified and in effect
from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the Construction Loans evidenced hereby were made and are to be repaid and for a statement of the
Bank’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise specifically defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
 As of December 3, 2007, as a result of the prior draws by the Borrower under the Loans and prior conversions of Construction Loans to Term Loans, of
the maximum Eighty-Nine Million Dollar ($89,000,000) Construction Loan facility, (i) Seventy-Four Million Dollars ($74,000,000) has been drawn by the Borrower under the Construction Loans and already been converted to Term Loans or currently
remains outstanding as Construction Loans and (ii) a maximum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) still remains available to be drawn by the Borrower under the Construction Loans. 
 The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full at the rate or
rates from time to time applicable to the Construction Loans as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay
interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the rate of interest applicable following the occurrence of an Event of Default as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement. 
 Interest on this Note shall be payable, at the times and from the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, on the date of any prepayment hereof, at
maturity, whether due by 

  

 F-2 

 
acceleration or otherwise, and as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement. From and after the date when the principal balance hereof becomes due and
payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest hereon shall be payable on demand. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged hereunder, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Bank has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate
applicable hereto, such excess shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this
Note is secured pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 
 The Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment, and protest and notice of
demand, presentment, protest, and nonpayment. 
 The Borrower further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to
pay all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, incurred by the Bank in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise. 
 IMPORTANT: This Note shall be deemed made in Ohio and shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Ohio, including all matters of construction, validity and performance. Without limitation on the ability of the Bank to initiate and prosecute any action or proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction related to loan repayment, the Borrower and the
Bank agree that any action or proceeding commenced by or on behalf of the parties arising out of or relating to this Note shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Ohio, or
any other court of applicable jurisdiction located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Borrower and the Bank also agree that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such Ohio courts by or on behalf of such parties shall be properly
served and shall confer personal jurisdiction on a party to which said party consents, if (a) served personally or by certified mail to the other party at any of its addresses noted herein, or (b) as otherwise provided under the laws of
the State of Ohio. The interest rates and all other terms of this Note negotiated with the Borrower are, in part, related to the aforesaid provisions on jurisdiction, which the Bank deems a vital part of this loan arrangement. 
 This Note amends and restates the Seventh Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated as of September 27, 2005 given by the Borrower to the Bank, and
evidences all amounts outstanding as of the date hereof under said Seventh Amended and Restated Promissory Note.

 EXHIBIT 10 (f) 2) 
 AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT 
 [REVOLVING AND BULLET LOANS] 

 THIS AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT [REVOLVING AND BULLET LOANS] is made as of December 3, 2007 (this
“Amendment”) by and between U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association formerly known as Firstar Bank, N.A. and Star Bank, National Association (together with its successors and assigns, the
“Bank”), and FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS, INC., an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), with respect to the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement [Revolving and Bullet Loans] entered into as of
October 15, 2004 by the Bank and the Borrower (as the same has been amended and/or supplemented from time to time, and as the same may be further amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time) (the
“Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement as amended hereby. 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank have entered into the Agreement;
and 
 WHEREAS, the Bank has advanced Loans to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the Bank and the Borrower have agreed to amend certain provisions of the Agreement as
specifically set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Amendments to Section 1(i) of the Agreement. Section 1(i) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 (i) Purpose of Loans. Proceeds of the Loans shall be used to fund temporary working capital needs. The Loans are not secured,
directly or indirectly, by any stock for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or for any purpose which would violate either Regulation U, 12 C.F.R. Part 221, or Regulation X, 12 C.F.R. Part 224, promulgated by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 Section 2. Amendments to Section 2 of the Agreement. The following
Section 2(t) shall be added to the Agreement: 
 (t) Deposit Accounts. The Borrower will maintain its
primary deposit accounts at the Bank so long as any obligations to the Bank, whether under the Loans or otherwise, remain outstanding. 

 Section 3. Amendments to Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement.
Section 4(a)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 (i) Revolving
Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject to there being no Event of Default (or event which might, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, mature into an Event of Default) by the Borrower hereunder, the
Bank agrees to lend and relend to the Borrower, upon request by the Borrower made to the Bank in the manner described in Sections 4(b) and (c) below, during the period from the date hereof to the earlier of (A) September 1,
2010, or the termination date of any extension hereof agreed to by the Borrower and the Bank as described below, or (B) the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless waived by the Bank (the earlier of such dates being referred to
herein as the “Commitment Termination Date”), a principal sum of up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Total Commitment Amount”), as the Borrower may from time to time request for the Borrower’s working
capital needs (the “Revolving Loan”); provided, however, that the Bank shall not be required to make, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive, any Revolving Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Loan would exceed the Total Commitment Amount. 
 Each Revolving Loan hereunder shall be in
the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or a multiple thereof. The Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a Seventeenth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Promissory Note given by the Borrower to the Bank in substantially the form of
Exhibit F attached hereto, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Revolving Note”). The Revolving Note shall mature and be payable in full on September 1, 2010, unless accelerated or extended as described
herein. The Revolving Note shall replace the Sixteenth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Promissory Note dated as of September 27, 2005 given by the Borrower to the Bank (the “Prior Note”), and amounts outstanding under the
Prior Note shall not be deemed cancelled or satisfied, but shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note instead of by the Prior Note. If the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan at any time exceeds the Total Commitment Amount, the
Borrower shall immediately, without notice or demand, reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan such that the Total Commitment Amount is not exceeded. 
 Upon request by the Borrower, the Bank may consider extensions of the Commitment Termination Date, but is not hereby committing in any way
thereto. Upon any such extension, at the option of the Bank, the Borrower shall execute a new promissory note substantially identical to the Revolving Note, except reflecting the new Commitment Termination Date, which thereupon shall be the
Revolving Note hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay down
the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan and the Revolving Note to Zero Dollars ($0) for not less than thirty (30) consecutive days 

  

 2 

 
during each of the Borrower’s fiscal years, commencing with the Borrower’s fiscal year beginning on June 3, 2002. 
 Section 4. Amendments to Section 4(b)(i) of the Agreement. Section 4(b)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 (i) Revolving Loan. “Prime Rate” means the prime rate
announced by the Bank from time to time, as and when such rate changes. Interest on each advance of the Revolving Loan hereunder shall accrue at one of the following per annum rates selected by the Borrower: (A) upon notice to the Bank, the
then applicable Prime Margin (as hereinafter defined) plus the Prime Rate (a “Prime Rate Loan”); (B) upon a minimum of two New York Banking Days prior notice, the then applicable LIBOR/Money Market Margin (as hereinafter
defined) plus the 1, 2, or 3 month LIBOR rate quoted by the Bank from Telerate Page 3750 or any successor thereto (which shall be the LIBOR rate in effect two New York Banking Days prior to commencement of the advance), adjusted for any reserve
requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a “LIBOR Rate Loan”); or (C) upon notice to the Bank, the then applicable LIBOR/Money Market Rate Margin plus the rate, determined solely by
the Bank, at which the Bank would be able to borrow funds of comparable amounts in the Money Markets for a 1, 2, or 3 month period, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation (a
“Money Market Rate Loan”). 
 The term “New York Banking Day” means any day (other than a
Saturday or Sunday) on which commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York. 
 The term “Money
Markets” refers to one or more wholesale funding markets available to and selected by the Bank, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper, Eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds, interest rate swaps, or others.

 In the event the Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two New York Banking Days before the
end of the Loan Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan, the Bank may at any time after the end of the Loan Period convert the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, but until such conversion, the funds
advanced under the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan prior to the end of the Loan Period. 
 The term “Loan Period” means the period commencing on the advance date of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market
Rate Loan and ending on the numerically corresponding day 1, 2, or 3 months thereafter matching the interest rate term selected by the Borrower; provided, however, (y) if any Loan Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a New York
Banking Day, then 

  

 3 

 
the Loan Period shall end on the next succeeding New York Banking Day unless the next succeeding New York Banking Day falls in another calendar month, in
which case the Loan Period shall end on the immediately preceding New York Banking Day; or (z) if any Loan Period begins on the last New York Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in
the calendar month at the end of the Loan Period), then the Loan Period shall end on the last New York Banking Day of the calendar month at the end of such Loan Period. 
 No LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan may extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date. In any event, if the Loan Period for a
LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan should happen to extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date, such loan must be prepaid at the Commitment Termination Date. The Bank’s internal records of applicable interest rates shall be
determinative in the absence of manifest error. Each LIBOR Rate Loan and each Money Market Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and in increments of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000)
thereafter. 
 If a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the Loan Period, as defined
above, for such loan, whether voluntarily or because prepayment is required due to such loan’s maturing or accelerating upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees to pay all of the Bank’s costs, expenses, and Interest Differential (as
determined by the Bank) incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Bank resulting from prepayment, calculated as
the difference between the amount of interest the Bank would have earned (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the first day of the LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan) had prepayment not occurred and the interest the Bank will
actually earn (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest
Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such loan. 
 Any portion of the Revolving Loan which is not at that time a LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan shall be a Prime Rate Loan.

 The “LIBOR/Money Market Margin” is currently one hundred twenty-five (125) basis points and shall be
subject to adjustment on each March 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s
then-current fiscal year and ending on the last day of the second quarter of such fiscal year and on each September 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of 

  

 4 

 
Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s immediately preceding fiscal year and ending on the last day of
such fiscal year, as follows: if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is 1.50 to 1.0 or greater, the LIBOR/Money Market Margin shall be one hundred fifty (150) basis points; if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to
EBITDA is less than 1.50 to 1.0 but equal to or greater than 1.00 to 1.0, the LIBOR/Money Market Margin shall be one hundred twenty-five (125) basis points; and if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.00 to
1.0, the LIBOR/Money Market Margin shall be one hundred five (105) basis points. Such adjustments shall be based upon the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA as determined from the financial statements delivered to the Bank
pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or (ii) hereof, as applicable. The foregoing provisions are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, authorize any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant or constitute a waiver thereof
or any commitment by the Bank to waive any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant. 
 The “Prime
Margin” is currently negative seventy-five (-75) basis points and shall be subject to adjustment on each March 1 for application to the period commencing on such date in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to
EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s then-current fiscal year and ending on the last day of the second quarter of such fiscal year and on each September 1 for application to the period commencing on such date
in accordance with the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA for the period commencing on the first day of the Borrower’s immediately preceding fiscal year and ending on the last day of such fiscal year, as follows: if the
Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is 1.50 to 1.0 or greater, the Prime Margin shall be negative fifty (-50) basis points; if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.50 to 1.0 but equal to or greater
than 1.00 to 1.0, the Prime Margin shall be negative seventy-five (-75) basis points; and if the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA is less than 1.00 to 1.0, the Prime Margin shall be negative one hundred (-100) basis points. Such
adjustments shall be based upon the Borrower’s ratio of Senior Bank Debt to EBITDA as determined from the financial statements delivered to the Bank pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or (ii) hereof, as applicable. The foregoing
provisions are not intended to, and shall not be construed to, authorize any violation by the Borrower of any Financial Covenant or constitute a waiver thereof or any commitment by the Bank to waive any violation by the Borrower of any Financial
Covenant. 
 Section 5. Amendments to Section 4(c) of the Agreement. Section 4(c) of the Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
  

	 	(c)	Making of Revolving Loans. 

  

	 	(i)	Disbursements. 

  

 5 

 1) Loans shall be effectuated by the Bank crediting an account maintained by the
Borrower at the Bank, one of which shall be the corporate checking account, currently account number              (the “Corporate Checking Account”). 
 2) The Bank may make Revolving Loans in response to any written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Bank by 12:00 noon on the day on
which it desires to obtain a Revolving Loan hereunder bearing interest based on the Prime Rate, and the Borrower shall notify the Bank on the date specified in Section 4(b) hereof of its desire to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Money
Market Rate Loan. Such notice may be given by telephone but shall be promptly followed by written confirmation by the Borrower to the Bank. In the case of any Revolving Loan bearing interest based on the Prime Rate, such notice shall specify the
amount of such Revolving Loan, and in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Money Market Rate Loan, such notice shall include the items described in Section 4(b) hereof. 
 3) Additionally, upon the mutual agreement of the Bank and the Borrower, upon receipt of checks drawn on the Corporate Checking Account,
the Bank may make Revolving Loans when the balance in the Corporate Checking Account falls below zero, provided that the making of such Revolving Loans will not cause the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans to exceed the
Total Commitment Amount or the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder. In the event that honoring such checks would cause the Total Commitment Amount to be exceeded or the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder,
the Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect to make or not to make an additional Revolving Loan to the Corporate Checking Account; the Bank will not be responsible for any checks returned for insufficient funds. Any such Revolving Loan will be equal
to the negative collected funds balance and will be back-dated to the previous working day of the Bank to effectively credit the Bank for the use of its funds by the Borrowers on the previous Business Day. 
 (ii) Minimum Balance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, if the Bank
and the Borrower agree that disbursements shall be made in accordance with Section 4(c)(i)(3) above, then until this Agreement is terminated and the Loans are repaid in full, the Borrower shall always maintain a minimum balance of
$50,000 in the Corporate Checking Account, which the Bank, in its sole discretion, may apply against the Revolving Loans at any time. 
 (iii) Application of Excess Funds. If the Bank and the Borrower agree that disbursements shall be made in accordance with Section 4(c)(i)(3) above, then any funds deposited in the Corporate Checking
Account in excess of $50,000 will be applied to obligations of the Borrower to the Bank in the order that the Bank directs and then to the reduction of the Loans.

 REVOLVING CREDIT PROMISSORY NOTE

  

					
	$5,000,000.00	 		  	Cincinnati, Ohio
		 		  	December 3, 2007

 FRISCH’S RESTAURANTS, INC., an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to the order of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association formerly known as Firstar Bank, N.A. and Star Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), or it successors or assigns, on
or before September 1, 2010, the principal sum of FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($5,000,000), or such portion thereof as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. 
 This is the Revolving Note referred to in, was executed and delivered pursuant to, and evidences indebtedness of the Borrower incurred under, that
certain Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement [Revolving and Bullet Loans] dated as of October 15, 2004 between the Borrower and the Bank, as the same has been and/or may be amended, restated, supplemented, renewed, or otherwise modified
and in effect from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the Revolving Loan evidenced hereby was made and is to be repaid and for a statement
of the Bank’s remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise specifically defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 
 The Borrower further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full at the rate or
rates from time to time applicable to the Revolving Loan as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay
interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Revolving Note at the rate of interest applicable following the occurrence of an Event of Default as determined in accordance with the Loan Agreement. 
 Interest on this Revolving Note shall be payable, at the times and from the dates specified in the Loan Agreement, on the date of any prepayment hereof,
at maturity, whether due by acceleration or otherwise, and as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement. From and after the date when the principal balance hereof becomes due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, interest hereon shall be
payable on demand. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged hereunder, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a
final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that 

  

 F-1 

 
the Bank has received interest hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, such excess shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the
Loan Agreement. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Revolving Note is secured pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 
 The Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment, and protest and notice of demand, presentment, protest, and nonpayment. 
 The Borrower further agrees, subject only to any limitation imposed by applicable law, to pay all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses, incurred by the Bank in endeavoring to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise. 
 IMPORTANT: This Revolving Note shall be deemed made in Ohio and shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, including all matters of construction, validity and
performance. Without limitation on the ability of the Bank to initiate and prosecute any action or proceeding in any applicable jurisdiction related to loan repayment, the Borrower and the Bank agree that any action or proceeding commenced by or on
behalf of the parties arising out of or relating to this Revolving Note shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Ohio, or any other court of applicable jurisdiction located
in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Borrower and the Bank also agree that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such Ohio courts by or on behalf of such parties shall be properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction on a
party to which said party consents, if (a) served personally or by certified mail to the other party at any of its addresses noted herein, or (b) as otherwise provided under the laws of the State of Ohio. The interest rates and all other
terms of this Revolving Note negotiated with the Borrower are, in part, related to the aforesaid provisions on jurisdiction, which the Bank deems a vital part of this loan arrangement. 
 This Note amends and restates the Sixteenth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Promissory Note dated as of September 27, 2005 given by the
Borrower to the Bank, and evidences all amounts outstanding as of the date hereof under said Sixteenth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Promissory Note. 
 Presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest are hereby waived.
