                             OPTION AGREEMENT


          This agreement is entered into this ninth of April, 1998, by and 
between VICORP Restaurants, Inc. (the Corporation), and Robert E. Kaltenbach 
(Optionee).

          WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the Amended and Restated 1982 
Stock Option Plan ("Plan"), which Plan is in full force and effect; and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan, the Committee of 
Non-Employee Directors is to notify the recipient of the grant of any option 
in a writing delivered in duplicate either in person or by mail,

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as follows:

          I.  GRANT:
              ------
          Optionee is hereby granted a non-qualified option to purchase under 
the terms of the plan 50,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock (par 
value $0.05 per share) for an exercise price of $18.25 per share.  The 
options shall be vested according to the following schedule:

          12,500 shares will vest on April 9, 1998
          12,500 shares will vest on April 9, 1999
          12,500 shares will vest on April 9, 2000
          12,500 shares will vest on April 9, 2001

          II.  TERM:
               -----
          Each option granted shall expire ten years from the date of grant, 
unless canceled or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the 
Plan.

          III.  EXERCISE OF OPTIONS:
                --------------------
          Only options which are vested may be exercised.

          IV.  MANNER OF EXERCISE:
               -------------------
          (a)  Notice to the Corporation:  Each exercise of an option shall 
be made by the delivery by the Optionee of written notice of such election 
to the Corporation, either in person or by mail, stating the number of shares 
with respect to which the option is being exercised and specifying a date on 
which the shares will be taken and payment made therefor.  The date shall be 
at least fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, unless an earlier 
date shall have been mutually agreed upon.

          (b)  Issuance of Stock:  Subject to any law or regulation of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission or other body having jurisdiction 
requiring an action to be taken in connection with the shares specified in a 
notice of election before the shares can be delivered to the Optionee, on the 
date specified in the notice of election, the Corporation shall deliver, or 
cause to be delivered to the Optionee stock certificates for the number of 
shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, against payment 
therefor (including payment of any tax required to be withheld).  In the 
event of any failure to take and pay, on the date stated, for the full number
of shares specified in the notice of election, the option shall become 
inoperative only as to those shares which are not taken or paid for, but 
shall continue with respect to any remaining shares subject to the option as 
to which exercise has not yet been made.

          V.  ASSIGNMENT:
              -----------
          Any option granted under the Plan shall not be assigned, pledged, 
or hypothecated in any way, shall not be subject to execution, and shall not 
be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  
Any attempted assignment or other prohibited disposition shall be null and 
void.

          VI.  TERMINATION:
               ------------
          (a)  Termination Other Than At Death Or Disability:  If the 
Optionee terminates his position as an Employee of the Corporation for any 
reason other than death or disability, any unexpired and unexercised granted 
options shall be canceled three months after the effective date of the 
Optionee's termination.

          (b)  Termination At Death Or Disability:  In the event of the death 
of the Optionee, any option held by him at the time of his death shall be 
transferred as provided in his will or by the laws of descent and 
distribution, and may be exercised by such transferee at any time within 
twelve months after the date of death, to the extent the option is 
exercisable on the date of death, and provided it is exercised within the 
time prescribed in the Plan.  In the event of the disability of the Optionee, 
any option held by him may be exercised in whole or in part, by the Optionee 
or his personal representative at any time within twelve months after the 
date of disability, to the extent the option is exercisable on the date of 
disability, and provided that it is exercised within the time prescribed in 
the Plan.  Disability and time of disability shall be determined by the 
Committee.

          VII.  CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE:
                -----------------------------
          The number of shares granted to Optionee will be subject to 
adjustment in the case of stock splits, combinations, stock dividends, 
reorganization and similar events.

          VIII.  SUBSTITUTION OR CANCELLATION UPON ACQUISITION:
                 ----------------------------------------------
          As used in this article, "Acquisition Event" means (1) any sale or 
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the 
Corporation or of any participating subsidiary pursuant to a plan which 
provides for the liquidation of the Corporation or the participating 
subsidiary, (2) any exchange by the holders of all of the outstanding shares 
of Common Stock for securities issued by another entity, or in whole or in 
part for cash or other property, pursuant to a plan of exchange approved by 
the holders of a majority of such outstanding shares, or (3) any transaction 
to which 425(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, applies and 
to which the Corporation or any participating subsidiary is a party in 
connection with any Acquisition Event and upon such terms and conditions as 
the Board may establish:

          (a)  The Committee may waive any limitation applicable to any 
option or right granted to the Optionee by this Agreement under the Plan so 
that such option and right, from and after a date prior to the Acquisition 
Event that is specified by the Committee, shall be exercisable in full.

          (b)  If the Committee so determines, the Optionee may be given the 
opportunity to make a final settlement for the entire unexercised portion of 
any option and any right granted by this Agreement under the Plan, including 
any portion not then currently exercisable, in any one or more of the 
following matters:

          (i)  Surrender such unexercised portion for cancellation in 
exchange for the payment in cash of an amount not less than the difference 
between the value per share of Common Stock as measured by the value to be 
received by the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to 
the terms of the Acquisition Event, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion, and the price at which such option and right is or would become 
exercisable, multiplied by the number of shares represented by such 
unexercised portion.

          (ii)  Exercise such option and right, including any portion not 
then otherwise currently exercisable, prior to the Acquisition Event so that 
the Optionee would be entitled, with respect to shares thereby acquired, to 
participate in the Acquisition Event as a holder of Common Stock.

          (iii)  Surrender such option and right for cancellation in exchange 
for a substitute option, with or without a related stock appreciation right, 
providing substantially equal benefits and granted or to be granted by an 
employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such an employer 
corporation, that after the Acquisition Event is expected to continue to 
conduct substantially the same business as that acquired from the Corporation 
or a participating subsidiary pursuant to the Acquisition Event.

          If the Optionee is given one or more of such opportunities with 
respect to the entire unexercised portion of any option and right granted by 
this Agreement, the option and right may be canceled by the Corporation upon 
the occurrence of the Acquisition Event and thereafter the Optionee will be
entitled only to receive the appropriate benefit pursuant to clause (i), 
(ii), or (iii) above, whichever may be applicable.

          The provisions of this article are not intended to be exclusive of 
any other arrangements that the Board might approve for settlement of any or 
all outstanding options and rights in connection with an Acquisition Event or 
otherwise.

          IX.  ADMINISTRATION:
               --------------- 
          The Plan is administered by a committee of non-employee directors 
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Committee") to whom 
all correspondence shall be directed.

          X.  MISCELLANEOUS:
              --------------
          (a)  Interpretation:  Any inconsistencies between the provisions of 
this Option Agreement and the Plan shall be governed by the terms and 
provisions of the Plan.  Optionee is referred to the Plan to determine all of 
his rights and obligations, only a portion of which have been set forth in 
this Agreement.

          (b)  Acknowledgment:  By execution of this Agreement, Optionee 
acknowledges receipt of a duplicate copy of the same as notification of his 
grant of options and that Optionee agrees in consideration of such option he 
will abide by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.

          IN  WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Option 
Agreement as of the day and year first above-written.

          (i)  Surrender such unexercised portion for cancellation in exchange 
for the payment in cash of an amount not less than the difference between the 
value per share of Common Stock as measured by the value to be received by 
the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms 
of the Acquisition Event, as determined by the Committee in its discretion, 
and the price at which such option and right is or would become exercisable, 
multiplied by the number of shares represented by such unexercised portion.

          (ii)  Exercise such option and right, including any portion not 
then otherwise currently exercisable, prior to the Acquisition Event so that 
the Optionee would be entitled, with respect to shares thereby acquired, to 
participate in the Acquisition Event as a holder of Common Stock.

          (iii)  Surrender such option and right for cancellation in exchange 
for a substitute option, with or without a related stock appreciation right, 
providing substantially equal benefits and granted or to be granted by an 
employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such an employer 
corporation, that after the Acquisition Event is expected to continue to 
conduct substantially the same business as that acquired from the Corporation 
or a participating subsidiary pursuant to the Acquisition Event.

          If the Optionee is given one or more of such opportunities with 
respect to the entire unexercised portion of any option and right granted by 
this Agreement, the option and right may be canceled by the Corporation upon 
the occurrence of the Acquisition Event and thereafter the Optionee will be 
entitled only to receive the appropriate benefit pursuant to clause (i), 
(ii), or (iii) above, whichever may be applicable.

          The provisions of this article are not intended to be exclusive of 
any other arrangements that the Board might approve for settlement of any or 
all outstanding options and rights in connection with an Acquisition Event or 
otherwise.

          IX.  ADMINISTRATION:
               ---------------
          The Plan is administered by a committee of non-employee directors 
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Committee") to whom 
all correspondence shall be directed.

          X.  MISCELLANEOUS:
              --------------
          (a)  Interpretation:  Any inconsistencies between the provisions of 
this Option Agreement and the Plan shall be governed by the terms and 
provisions of the Plan.  Optionee is referred to the Plan to determine all of 
his rights and obligations, only a portion of which have been set forth in 
this Agreement.

          (b)  Acknowledgment:  By execution of this Agreement, Optionee 
acknowledges receipt of a duplicate copy of the same as notification of his 
grant of options and that Optionee agrees in consideration of such option he 
will abide by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.

This is Page 4 of a 4-page Option Agreement between VICORP Restaurants, Inc. 
and Robert E. Kaltenbach dated October 2, 1998.



                            OPTION AGREEMENT

          This agreement is entered into this second day of October, 1998, by 
and between VICORP Restaurants, Inc. (the Corporation), and Joseph F. 
Trungale (Optionee).

          WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted the Amended and Restated 1982 
Stock Option Plan ("Plan"), which Plan is in full force and effect; and

          WHEREAS, pursuant to Article VIII of the Plan, the Committee of 
Non-Employee Directors is to notify the recipient of the grant of any option 
in a writing delivered in duplicate either in person or by mail,

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as follows:

          I.  GRANT:
              ------
          Optionee is hereby granted a non-qualified option to purchase under 
the terms of the plan 50,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock (par 
value $0.05 per share) for an exercise price of $14.25 per share.  The 
options shall be vested according to the following schedule:

          16,666 shares will vest on October 2, 1999
          16,667 shares will vest on October 2, 2000
          16,667 shares will vest on October 2, 2001
 
          II.  TERM:
               -----
          Each option granted shall expire ten years from the date of grant, 
unless canceled or terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the 
Plan.

          III.  EXERCISE OF OPTIONS:
                --------------------
          Only options which are vested may be exercised.

          IV.  MANNER OF EXERCISE:
               -------------------
          (a)  Notice to the Corporation:  Each exercise of an option shall 
be made by the delivery by the Optionee of written notice of such election to 
the Corporation, either in person or by mail, stating the number of shares 
with respect to which the option is being exercised and specifying a date on 
which the shares will be taken and payment made therefor.  The date shall be 
at least fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, unless an earlier 
date shall have been mutually agreed upon.

          (b)  Issuance of Stock:  Subject to any law or regulation of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission or other body having jurisdiction 
requiring an action to be taken in connection with the shares specified in a 
notice of election before the shares can be delivered to the Optionee, on the 
date specified in the notice of election, the Corporation shall deliver, or 
cause to be delivered to the Optionee stock certificates for the number of 
shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, against payment 
therefor (including payment of any tax required to be withheld).  In the 
event of any failure to take and pay, on the date stated, for the full number
of shares specified in the notice of election, the option shall become 
inoperative only as to those shares which are not taken or paid for, but 
shall continue with respect to any remaining shares subject to the option as 
to which exercise has not yet been made.

          V.  ASSIGNMENT:
              -----------
          Any option granted under the Plan shall not be assigned, pledged, 
or hypothecated in any way, shall not be subject to execution, and shall not 
be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  
Any attempted assignment or other prohibited disposition shall be null and 
void.

          VI.  TERMINATION:
               ------------
          (a)  Termination Other Than At Death Or Disability:  If the 
Optionee terminates his position as an Employee of the Corporation for any 
reason other than death or disability, any unexpired and unexercised granted 
options shall be canceled three months after the effective date of the 
Optionee's termination.

          (b)  Termination At Death Or Disability:  In the event of the death 
of the Optionee, any option held by him at the time of his death shall be 
transferred as provided in his will or by the laws of descent and 
distribution, and may be exercised by such transferee at any time within 
twelve months after the date of death, to the extent the option is 
exercisable on the date of death, and provided it is exercised within the 
time prescribed in the Plan.  In the event of the disability of the Optionee, 
any option held by him may be exercised in whole or in part, by the Optionee 
or his personal representative at any time within twelve months after the 
date of disability, to the extent the option is exercisable on the date of 
disability, and provided that it is exercised within the time prescribed in 
the Plan.  Disability and time of disability shall be determined by the 
Committee.

          VII.  CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE:
                -----------------------------
          The number of shares granted to Optionee will be subject to 
adjustment in the case of stock splits, combinations, stock dividends, 
reorganization and similar events.

          VIII.  SUBSTITUTION OR CANCELLATION UPON ACQUISITION:
                 ----------------------------------------------
          As used in this article, "Acquisition Event" means (1) any sale or 
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the 
Corporation or of any participating subsidiary pursuant to a plan which 
provides for the liquidation of the Corporation or the participating 
subsidiary, (2) any exchange by the holders of all of the outstanding shares 
of Common Stock for securities issued by another entity, or in whole or in 
part for cash or other property, pursuant to a plan of exchange approved by 
the holders of a majority of such outstanding shares, or (3) any transaction 
to which 425(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, applies and 
to which the Corporation or any participating subsidiary is a party in 
connection with any Acquisition Event and upon such terms and conditions as 
the Board may establish:

          (a)  The Committee may waive any limitation applicable to any 
option or right granted to the Optionee by this Agreement under the Plan so 
that such option and right, from and after a date prior to the Acquisition 
Event that is specified by the Committee, shall be exercisable in full.

          (b)  If the Committee so determines, the Optionee may be given the 
opportunity to make a final settlement for the entire unexercised portion of 
any option and any right granted by this Agreement under the Plan, including 
any portion not then currently exercisable, in any one or more of the 
following matters:

          (i)  Surrender such unexercised portion for cancellation in 
exchange for the payment in cash of an amount not less than the difference 
between the value per share of Common Stock as measured by the value to be 
received by the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to 
the terms of the Acquisition Event, as determined by the Committee in its 
discretion, and the price at which such option and right is or would become 
exercisable, multiplied by the number of shares represented by such 
unexercised portion.

          (ii)  Exercise such option and right, including any portion not 
then otherwise currently exercisable, prior to the Acquisition Event so that 
the Optionee would be entitled, with respect to shares thereby acquired, to 
participate in the Acquisition Event as a holder of Common Stock.

          (iii) Surrender such option and right for cancellation in exchange 
for a substitute option, with or without a related stock appreciation right, 
providing substantially equal benefits and granted or to be granted by an 
employer corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such an employer 
corporation, that after the Acquisition Event is expected to continue to 
conduct substantially the same business as that acquired from the Corporation 
or a participating subsidiary pursuant to the Acquisition Event.

          If the Optionee is given one or more of such opportunities with 
respect to the entire unexercised portion of any option and right granted by 
this Agreement, the option and right may be canceled by the Corporation upon 
the occurrence of the Acquisition Event and thereafter the Optionee will be 
entitled only to receive the appropriate benefit pursuant to clause (i), 
(ii), or (iii) above, whichever may be applicable.

          The provisions of this article are not intended to be exclusive of 
any other arrangements that the Board might approve for settlement of any or 
all outstanding options and rights in connection with an Acquisition Event or 
otherwise.

          IX.  ADMINISTRATION:
               ---------------
          The Plan is administered by a committee of non-employee directors 
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation ("Committee") to whom 
all correspondence shall be directed.

          X.  MISCELLANEOUS:
              --------------
          (a)  Interpretation:  Any inconsistencies between the provisions of 
this Option Agreement and the Plan shall be governed by the terms and 
provisions of the Plan.  Optionee is referred to the Plan to determine all of 
his rights and obligations, only a portion of which have been set forth in 
this Agreement.

acknowledges receipt of a duplicate copy of the same as notification of his 
grant of options and that Optionee agrees in consideration of such option he 
will abide by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.

               plans.

This compensation plan is applicable to all Corporate (or non-operating)
Officer-level positions and select Director-level positions within VICORP 
Restaurants, Inc. (hereafter referred to as VICORP).  Attachment A to this 
Plan Document details the defined positions.  This plan defines the method
of compensation for the period beginning November 2, 1998 and ending 
October 31, 1999.


BASE COMPENSATION

A.   Base compensation is defined as that compensation paid bi-weekly.  Where
     applicable, vacation and holiday pay will be predicated upon the base 
     compensation rate.
     
B.   Base compensation will be determined based upon using the approved 
     salary wage rates and salary wage ranges as a guideline.
     
C.   Participants in this program will be reviewed on an annual basis and any 
     adjustments to the base rate will be based upon overall performance and 
     wage range placement.  Any merit increase approved must be such that the 
     resulting salary is within the wage range for the position.  Officer
     compensation must be approved by the Compensation Committee of VICORP's 
     Board of Directors.


BONUS PROGRAM

A.   General.  Participants are eligible by virtue of assignment to an 
     officer or director level position that is not eligible for any other 
     Incentive Program (i.e., field).  A list of approved bonus eligible 
     positions for FY'99 is detailed on Attachment A.  The bonus program is 
     predicated upon achievement of overall VICORP performance against a set
     baseline Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (E.B.I.T.) target.  
     NOTE:  E.B.I.T. will be computed in accordance with Generally Accepted 
     Accounting Principles.

     For Fiscal Year 1999, Target E.B.I.T. is $19,397,000 (which is before 
     payment of bonuses).                                           
     
C.   Distribution of Bonus

PAYMENT OF BONUSES

A.   Bonus payments will be made within 90 days following the end of the 
     fiscal year close.  Payments are subject to normal tax withholding and 
     are paid via the payroll system.  Bonus eligible participants must be 
     actively employed at the end of the fiscal year to be eligible for 
     payment.


GENERAL CONDITIONS

A.   This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment and does not in 
     any way diminish or limit VICORP Restaurants, Inc. to terminate the 
     employment of any individual at will, at any time, and at its sold 
     discretion.
     
B.   Management may, at its discretion and at any time, change, modify, amend 
     or discontinue this Plan without advance notification.
     
C.   Neither this, nor any other document, is intended to be construed as a 
     guarantee of employment nor a guarantee base or incentive compensation.  
     Compensation targets are often expressed in terms of annual dollars for 
     ease of communication.  In no way should annualized salary targets be 
     construed as "promises to pay" or entitlements.
     
D.   The Corporation's audited financial statements serve as the documents 
     against with bonus is earned and computed.
     
E.   Initial participation (by virtue of assignment to a bonus-eligible 
     position) will be pro-rated based upon the number of full months the 
     incumbent is in a bonus-eligible position.
     
F.   Transfers from a bonus-eligible position to a non-bonus eligible 
     position during the course of the fiscal year will result in no bonus 
     consideration for that fiscal year.
     
G.   Should there be an extraordinary event such as an acquisition, merger, 
     divestiture, extraordinary expenses, etc. that positively, negatively, 
     or materially affects E.B.I.T., the E.B.I.T. threshold numbers will be
     reevaluated.
