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. 
  
 R E C I T
A L S 
  
 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(a) of the Agreement. Section 2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows: 
  
 (a) Purpose of
Loans. The Loans shall be used only for the purpose of financing the construction and opening of Golden Corral Restaurants and Big Boy Restaurants (collectively, the “Restaurants”). The Loans are not and shall not be secured,
directly or indirectly, by any 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 4(a) of the Agreement. Section 4(a) of
the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its 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) Seventy-Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($76,500,000) (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, 2008. 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, 2008 (the “Construction Loan Maturity Date”), unless the maturity thereof is accelerated as described herein. As
of September 27, 2005, 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 Seventy-Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollar ($76,500,000) Construction Loan
facility, (i) Fifty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($57,500,000) 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 Nineteen Million Dollars ($19,000,000) 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 greater than seven (7) 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 later than the date which is seven (7) 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. 
  
 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”).

 F-3Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10 (d)(2) 
  
 AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT 
 [REVOLVING AND BULLET LOANS] 
  
 THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT [REVOLVING AND BULLET LOANS] is made as of September 27, 2005 (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. 
  
 R E C I T A L S 
  
 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 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, 2008, 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 Sixteenth 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, 2008, unless accelerated or extended as described herein. The Revolving Note shall replace the Fifteenth Amended and Restated Revolving
Credit Promissory Note dated as of October 15, 2004 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 during each of the
Borrower’s fiscal years, commencing with the Borrower’s fiscal year beginning on June 3, 2002. 
  
 Section 2. Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit D to the Agreement. Exhibit D to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as set forth at Exhibit D attached hereto. 
  
 Section 3. Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit F to the Agreement. Exhibit F to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth at Exhibit F attached hereto.

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.
