cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by

rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application by any
governmental authority of any such applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation,
or (ii) compliance by the issuing bank or Foothill with any direction, request,
or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any

bank or Foothill of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any letter of
credit, or Letter of Credit, as applicable, or to reduce the amount receivable
in respect thereof by such issuing bank or Foothill, then, and in any such case,
Foothill may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost
is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower
shall pay no later than 3 Business Days following a demand for payment such
amounts as the issuing bank or Foothill may specify to be reasonably necessary

provided for in Section 2.2(d) (as and when accrued or incurred), the fees and
                -------------
charges provided for in Section 2.11 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all
                        ------------
installments or other payments due by Borrower under any Loan Document to its
respective Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall accrue interest at the
rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall
be compounded and shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable
to Advances hereunder.

               (f)  Computation.  In the event the Reference Rate is changed
                    -----------
from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder
automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal
to such change in the Reference Rate. All interest and fees chargeable under the
Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual
number of days elapsed.

               (g)  Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate.  In no
                    ----------------------------------------------
event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any
other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible
under applicable law. Borrower and Foothill, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner
of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of
payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as
of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the
payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in
excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the
principal balance (but not below zero) of the Obligations to the extent of such
excess. Any amount not applied to so reduce such principal balance promptly
shall be refunded, without interest, to Borrower.

     2.7  Collections.Borrower shall at all times maintain the Concentration
          -----------
Account and agrees that all Collections shall be deposited into its
Concentration Account or into a deposit account of Borrower the proceeds of
which are remitted no less frequently than has been its past practice to its
Concentration Account.  Borrower, Foothill, and the Concentration Account Bank
shall enter into an agreement that, among other things, shall provide that, from
and after the giving of notice by Foothill to such Concentration Account Bank,
the Concentration Account Bank shall remit all proceeds received in such
Concentration to an account (the "Foothill Account") maintained by Foothill at a
depositary selected by Foothill.  Foothill agrees that it will not give such
notice to the Concentration Account Bank unless a Triggering Event has occurred
and is continuing.  No arrangement contemplated hereby shall be modified by
Borrower without the prior written consent of Foothill.  Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Triggering Event, Foothill may elect to notify the
Concentration Account Bank to remit all amounts received in the Concentration
Account to the Foothill Account.

          -----------------------------------------------
Collections of Borrower by Foothill (whether from transfers to Foothill by the

not be considered a payment on account

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

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

establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank
for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower
and made by Foothill hereunder.  Unless otherwise agreed by Foothill and
Borrower, any Advance requested by Borrower and made by Foothill hereunder shall
be made to the Designated Account.

Foothill from Borrower or for Borrower's account, including all amounts received
in the Foothill Account from the Borrower Concentration Account Bank. Foothill
shall render statements, in accordance with its customary practices in respect
of rendering statements to its customers, regarding the Loan Account to
Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of
all charges and expenses constituting Foothill Expenses owing, and such
statements shall (absent manifest error) be conclusively presumed to be correct
and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Foothill
unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver
to Foothill by registered or certified mail or overnight courier at its address
specified in Section 12, written objection thereto describing the error or
errors contained in any such statements.

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

     3.5   Effect of Termination.  On the date of termination of this Agreement,
           ----------------------
all Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrower with
respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit) immediately shall become due and
payable without notice or demand.  No termination of this Agreement, however,
shall relieve or discharge Borrower of Borrower's duties, Obligations, or
covenants hereunder unless, and Foothill's continuing security interests in the

           ------------------------------
upon 10 Business Days prior written notice to Foothill, to terminate this

and substance and from an issuer, that is reasonably acceptable to Foothill, in
an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount of Foothill's obligations under
outstanding Letters of Credit), in full, together with the Applicable
Termination Premium.  The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Obligations are refinanced with a financing that is provided or agented by
Foothill, then no Applicable Termination Premium shall be payable in connection
with such refinancing of the Obligations.  Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, if at any time Foothill is no longer owned by Wells Fargo or
any Affiliate thereof and if Foothill is unable to arrange for the issuance of
letters of credit requested hereunder, then no Applicable Termination Premium
shall be payable in connection with any termination of this Agreement by
Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this Section.

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

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

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

                                      -35-

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

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

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

quarter that also is the date on which a financial covenant in Section 7.20, or
                                                               ------------

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

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

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

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

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

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

          (d) Each of FRI-MRD and Borrower shall give Foothill prompt notice of
any loss or damage to their properties and assets by fire, lightning, windstorm,
hail, explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, vehicle damage, earthquake, elevator
collision, and other risks included under an "extended coverage" endorsement
covered by such insurance in excess of $250,000.  With the exception of
insurance policies covering the property or assets of HGI, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Foothill shall have the
exclusive right to adjust all losses payable under the applicable insurance
policies without any liability to FRI-MRD or Borrower, as applicable, whatsoever
in respect of such adjustments.  Any monies received as payment for any loss or
damage to their properties and assets by fire, lightning, windstorm, hail,
explosion, aircraft, smoke damage, vehicle damage, earthquake, elevator
collision, and other risks included under an "extended coverage" endorsement
under the applicable insurance policy (exclusive of any casualty loss wherein
the insurance proceeds are less than $50,000 and excluding insurance proceeds
received with respect to the assets or properties of HGI), shall be paid over to
Foothill, and FRI-MRD and Borrower shall have the right to designate in writing
to Foothill within 45 days of such payment whether such payment shall be (i)
applied to the prepayment of the Obligations without premium, in such order or
manner as Foothill may elect, or (ii) disbursed to FRI-MRD or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, under staged payment terms satisfactory to Foothill for application
to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 6.8(d).  In the event Foothill fails to
                             --------------

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

             Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event
of default (each, an "Event of Default") under this Agreement:

      8.1    If Borrower fails to pay when due and payable or when declared due
and payable, any portion of the Obligations (whether of principal, interest
(including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
would have accrued on such amounts), fees and charges due Foothill,
reimbursement of Foothill Expenses, or other amounts constituting Obligations);

provided, however, that in the case of Overadvances that are caused by the
--------  -------
charging of interest, fees, or Foothill Expenses to Borrower's Loan Account,
such event shall not constitute an Event of Default if, within 3 Business Days
prior telephonic notice of such Overadvance, Borrower prepays, or otherwise
eliminates, such Overadvance;

      8.2   If (a) FRI-MRD or its Subsidiaries fails or neglects to perform,

or neglects to perform, keep, or observe, in any material respect, any other

this Section 8, including Section 8.15, and, in each instance, after giving
     ---------            ------------
effect to any notice, grace, or cure periods provided for in such Loan
Documents);

     8.3  If there is a Material Adverse Collateral Change;

     8.4  If any material property of FRI-MRD or any of its Subsidiaries is
attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon,

forfeited by FRI-MRD or its Subsidiary;

     8.5  If an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by FRI-MRD or any of its
Subsidiaries;

     8.6  If an Insolvency Proceeding is commenced against FRI-MRD or any of its
Subsidiaries and any of the following events occur:  (a) FRI-MRD or any such
Subsidiary consents to the institution of the Insolvency Proceeding against it;
(b) the petition commencing the Insolvency Proceeding is not timely
controverted; (c) the petition commencing the Insolvency Proceeding is not
dismissed within 60 calendar days of the date of the filing thereof; provided,
however, that, during the pendency of such period, Foothill shall be relieved of
its obligation to extend additional credit hereunder; (d) an interim trustee is
appointed to take possession of all or a substantial portion of the properties
or assets of, or to operate all or any substantial portion of the business of,

any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material
part of its business affairs and such injunction, restraining order, or other
court order is not stayed within 30 days of the date on which it first arises;

     8.8  (a) If a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with
respect to any of Prandium's or any of its Subsidiaries' properties or assets by
the United States, or if any taxes or debts owing at any time hereafter to the
United States becomes a lien, whether choate or otherwise, upon any of
Prandium's or any of its Subsidiaries' properties or assets; or

          (b) If a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with
respect to any of FRI-MRD's or any of its Subsidiaries' properties or assets by
any state, county, municipal, or other non-federal governmental agency, or if
any taxes or debts owing for an amount in excess of $250,000 at any time
hereafter to any one or more of such entities becomes a lien,

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

whether choate or otherwise, upon any of FRI-MRD's or any of its Subsidiaries'
properties or assets and, in any such case, such taxes or debts are not the
subject of a Permitted Protest, and the lien, levy, or assessment is not
released, discharged, or bonded against before the earlier of 30 days of the
date it first arises or 5 days of the date when such property or asset is
subject to being forfeited; or

          (c) If a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with
respect to the Headquarters Property by any state, county, municipal, or other

Protest, and the lien, levy, or assessment is not released, discharged, or
bonded against before the earlier of 30 days of the date it first arises or 5
days of the date when the Headquarters Property is subject to being forfeited;
or

     8.9  If a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien upon any material property
of FRI-MRD and its Subsidiaries and the same is not released, discharged, bonded
against, or stayed pending appeal before the earlier of 30 days of the date it
first arises or 5 days of the date when such property or asset is subject to
being forfeited by FRI-MRD or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that
during such period Foothill shall be entitled to create a reserve against the
Borrowing Base, in an amount sufficient to discharge such lien or encumbrance
and any and all penalties or interest payable in connection therewith;

     8.10 If there is a material default in any material agreement relating to
Indebtedness to which FRI-MRD or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with one or
more third Persons and such default (a) occurs at the final maturity of the
obligations thereunder, or (b) results in a right by such third Person(s),
irrespective of whether exercised, to accelerate the maturity of FRI-MRD's or
its Subsidiaries' obligations thereunder or to terminate the subject agreement;

     8.11 If Borrower makes any payment on account of Indebtedness that has been
contractually subordinated in right of payment to the payment of the
Obligations, except to the extent such payment is permitted by the terms of the
subordination provisions applicable to such Indebtedness;

     8.12 If any material misstatement or misrepresentation exists now or
hereafter in any written warranty, representation, statement, or report made
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents to Foothill by FRI-MRD or its Subsidiaries
or by any officer, director, employee, or agent of FRI-MRD or its Subsidiaries
(in the case of employees or agents who are not officers or directors, to the
extent authorized by an officer or director to communicate or transact business
with Foothill or who regularly communicate or transact business with Foothill),
or if any such warranty or representation is withdrawn;

     8.13 If the obligation of any Guarantor under any Loan Document is
terminated by operation of law, or any Guarantor becomes the subject of an
Insolvency Proceeding; or

                                      -58-

     8.14 With respect to any Loan Document to which Borrower or any Guarantor
is a party that includes a guaranty of any of the Obligations or the grant or
conveyance of a Lien on any real or personal property or any interest or estate
therein to secure all or any part of the Obligations or any guaranty thereof, if
Borrower or any Guarantor that is a party thereto shall have purported to
rescind, revoke, or terminate such Loan Document, or shall have asserted that
such Loan Document is not effective, in the case of a Loan Document that
includes a guaranty, to guaranty all or any part of the present or future
Obligations, or, in the case of a Loan Document that grants or conveys a Lien,
to secure all or any part of the present or future Obligations.

9. FOOTHILL'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

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

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

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

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

          (d)  [intentionally omitted]

          (e)  [intentionally omitted]

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

                                      -59-
<PAGE>

          (g)  [intentionally omitted]

          (h)  [intentionally omitted]

          (i)  Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare
for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the
Personal Property Collateral.  Foothill is hereby granted a license or other
right to use, without charge, FRI-MRD's and Borrower's labels, patents,
copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as
it pertains to the Personal Property Collateral, in advertising for sale and
selling any Personal Property Collateral and FRI-MRD's and Borrower's rights
under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Foothill's
benefit;

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

10.  TAXES AND EXPENSES.

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

                                      -61-
<PAGE>

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

11.  WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

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

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

     11.3 Indemnification.  Each of FRI-MRD and Borrower, jointly and severally,
          ---------------
shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold Foothill, each Participant, and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, and attorneys-
in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent
permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions,
investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and
disbursements and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in
connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether
suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any
of them in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance, and administration of this Agreement and any
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein, and with respect
to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder
(irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act,
omission, event or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the
foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities").  Each of FRI-MRD and

15.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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