In consideration of the issuance by U.S. Bank or an affiliate of U.S. Bank (each such affiliated issuer, an "Other Issuer") of one or more Credits, each Applicant agrees that the following terms shall apply to each Application and each Credit issued by U.S. Bank or any Other Issuer (either or both, "Bank"). 1. OBLIGATIONS a. Applicant promises to pay Bank on demand at U.S. Bank's International Banking Office, Portland, Oregon: i. The amount of each draft or other request for payment ("draft") drawn under the Credit. For amounts payable in United States currency, Applicant agrees to reimburse Bank in United States currency. For amounts payable in other currency, Applicant agrees to reimburse Bank an equivalent amount in United States currency at Bank's then current selling rate for telecommunications transfer of such other currency to the place the draft is payable, or at Bank's option, in any other currency, place, form and manner acceptable to Bank. If Bank so demands, Applicant promises to pay Bank in advance, in United States currency, all sums necessary to put Bank in funds to pay all such drafts whether payable in United States currency or otherwise. ii. Bank's fees, at the per annum rate fixed by Bank, for the period from the date of issuance to the expiry date of the Credit. Such fees shall be payable from time to time, in advance, at such intervals as Bank may require and shall be nonrefundable, whether or not the Credit is drawn upon, reduced in time or amount or otherwise modified. iii. The entire principal amount which has not been drawn under the Credit, to be held by Bank as collateral for any draws. Any such amount which is not applied to reimbursement of draws shall be refunded to Applicant within thirty (30) days after the expiry date of the Credit, with interest at U.S. Bank's lowest savings account rate then in effect. iv. All taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature whatsoever paid or incurred by Bank in connection with this Agreement, the Credit or any related transactions, and any liability with respect thereto (including but not limited to interest, penalties and expenses). v. Interest on all amounts due under this Agreement from the applicable due date until paid at a per annum rate equal to the sum of U.S. Bank's prime rate, as that rate may vary from time to time, plus 5%. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. U.S. Bank's prime rate is the rate which U.S. Bank from time to time established as its prime rate and is not, for example, the lowest rate of interest which U.S. Bank collects from any borrower or class of borrowers. b. Without limiting Applicant's obligations to any Other Issuer, but without duplication, Applicant promises to pay to U.S. Bank on demand, at U.S. Bank's International Banking Office in Portland, Oregon, an 2 APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO LETTER OF CREDIT (COMMERCIAL OR STANDBY) TO: [ ] United States National Bank of Oregon [ ] U.S. Bank of Nevada [X] U.S. Bank of California [ ] U.S. Bank of Utah [ ] U.S. Bank of Idaho [ ] U.S. Bank of Washington, National Association ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date CUSTOMER REFERENCE L/C NUMBER AMENDMENT NUMBER SLC PPDX00619 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please amend or request one of your affiliates to amend on our behalf the above-rerenced letter of credit ("Credit") AMEND BY: [ ] Airmail [ ] Teletransmission [ ] Courier [ ] FAX Copy to: _____________ Attention: ______________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ACCOUNT PARTY BENEFICIARY CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC.
