PART I

Item 1 BUSINESS

General

     California Beach Restaurants, Inc., (“Registrant” or “Company”), was organized under the laws of the State of California in April 1971. The Registrant is currently engaged in one line of business, the ownership and operation of restaurants, including Gladstone’s 4 Fish (“Gladstone’s”) in Pacific Palisades, California and RJ’s — Beverly Hills (“RJ’s”) in Beverly Hills, California.

Restaurant Operations — Concept and Menu

     The Registrant owns and operates the following restaurants through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sea View Restaurants, Inc. (“Sea View”):

     Gladstone’s 4 Fish. Gladstone’s is one of Southern California’s best known fresh seafood restaurants. In 1972, the original Gladstone’s was opened as a small, 80-seat establishment in Santa Monica Canyon near the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica, California. In 1981, Gladstone’s was moved to its present location on the beach at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, California. Based on restaurant industry surveys, Gladstone’s is one of the top grossing restaurants in America. The 10,000 square foot interior of Gladstone’s seats approximately 400, while the outside deck has a seating capacity of approximately 300 in a 6,000 square foot area. Gladstone’s is open 365 days a year for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served on weekends. The Registrant completed construction of substantial improvements to its Gladstone’s restaurant in October 1999. The improvements, including the outside deck, have enhanced the dining accommodations.

     Gladstone’s offers an extensive menu specializing in fresh fish and shellfish. Gladstone’s strives to purchase only the finest seafood products including, live Maine lobster, premium Alaskan red king crab, western Australian lobster tails and Mexican shrimp as well as the freshest fish available. Typical fresh fish on the menu include salmon, swordfish, catfish, ahi tuna, petrale sole, pacific red snapper, halibut and mahi-mahi. Gladstone’s menu also includes a large number of salads, pasta dishes and sandwiches in addition to its extensive fresh fish and shellfish items.

     Sandwich and salad prices begin at $9.99, with dinner entrees beginning at $17.45. A typical dinner entree includes soup or salad, hot sourdough bread, fresh vegetable and rice or potato. Gladstone’s average check, including beverages and desserts, is approximately $24.21. Gladstone’s portion sizes are very large and food that cannot be finished is wrapped in a gold foil animal “sculpture.” The gold foil, which is manufactured specially for Gladstone’s, is a signature element of the restaurant. Gladstone’s is also well known for the full barrels of peanuts that are always available free of charge to guests and free “mile-high” cake for all birthday and anniversary celebrations.

     RJ’s — Beverly Hills. RJ’s is located at 252 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California. RJ’s was opened in 1979 and emphasizes its extensive salad bar, barbecued ribs and chicken, library bar and antique ceiling fans to create an attractive, casual dining atmosphere in the heart of Beverly Hills. RJ’s is open for lunch and dinner from Monday through Saturday and dinner only on Sunday. The restaurant occupies approximately 7,500 square feet with seating capacity of approximately 260.

     RJ’s menu specializes in classic American food. RJ’s signature items include barbecued beef and baby back pork ribs and a very extensive salad bar. RJ’s menu also includes a wide selection of sandwiches and salads. Sandwich and salad pricing begins at $8.75 with dinner entrees starting at $13.99. RJ’s average check is approximately $18.56. As with Gladstone’s, portion sizes are very generous and waitstaff are trained to wrap all leftovers in signature gold foil animal sculptures.

Restaurant Operations — Gladstone’s Concession Agreement

     Sea View operates Gladstone’s pursuant to a 20-year concession agreement with the County of Los Angeles (“County”) that commenced November 1, 1997 (“Concession Agreement”) following the expiration of its prior agreement. During February 1999, the Concession Agreement was amended. The Concession Agreement, as amended, obligates Sea View to pay minimum annual rental payments of $1,750,000 to the County. Percentage rents based on 10% of food sales and 12% of the combined sales of alcoholic beverages, merchandise and parking lot revenue are payable to the extent that such percentage rents exceed the minimum annual rents. In addition to minimum annual rent and percentage rent, Sea View is required to pay “Supplemental Rent” to the County equal to the sum of $15,000 per year plus 1% of the excess of Gladstone’s gross annual revenues over $14,000,000. The Registrant records rent expense on a straight line basis over the life of the agreement. See Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The agreement also requires Sea View to post a letter of credit equal to three months minimum rent ($437,500) and to maintain certain net worth levels.

     The terms of the Concession Agreement afford the County the opportunity to conduct a valuation of the Gladstone’s Pacific Palisades operations (“Concession”), at any time during the first 150 months of the Concession Agreement (commencing November 1, 1997) in the event of a sale of Gladstone’s or 100% of the stock of Sea View or the Registrant, or at any time between the beginning of the 79th month and the end of the 150th month of the Concession Agreement. If the County elects to conduct a valuation, Sea View must thereafter pay the greater of (1) the Supplemental Rent Payments, or (2) an amount determined by amortizing the greater of 5% of the gross Concession value or 20% of the net Concession value (as determined pursuant to the Concession Agreement), less the aggregate amount of Supplemental Rent Payments paid through the date of the valuation, using an interest rate of 9% and equal payments of principal and interest, over the remaining term of the Concession Agreement.

Restaurant Operations — Marketing

     Both of the Registrant’s restaurants focus on the casual segment of the upper-end dinner house market. Management believes that its restaurants’ reputation, developed over many years, of providing guests with unique dining experience has been the most effective approach to attracting and retaining business. By focusing its resources on providing superior service and value, Gladstone’s and RJ’s have primarily relied on word of mouth to attract new business.

Table of Contents

     The restaurants have also developed unique promotions that are repeated on an annual basis. For example, both Gladstone’s and RJ’s have a special Christmas day promotion whereby each guest that dines in the restaurant on that day receives a gift certificate for the amount of their Christmas day food purchase. Additionally, Gladstone’s has developed promotions tied to specific products such as Sockeye Salmonfest during July and Lobsterfest in October. During these promotions, which have run for several years, Gladstone’s reduces menu prices and adds numerous daily menu specials related to the featured product. On a weekly basis, Gladstone’s features special lobster prices each Thursday and special crab prices each Friday. The Registrant uses print and radio advertising from time to time to support its promotions.

     Gladstone’s also has developed other unique programs that are a key element of its marketing plan. Placemats used at each table are printed daily, allowing guests that have made a reservation to print a unique message such as welcoming a special friend, announcing the celebration of a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. Guests are encouraged to take a placemat home as a reminder of their special experience at Gladstone’s. An electronic message board is located in the front of the restaurant that is also used to welcome guests with special messages. All special occasions are also celebrated with a free picture that is placed in a customized photo sleeve to serve as a reminder of the special experience at Gladstone’s.

Restaurant Operations — Purchasing

     The Registrant’s senior management establishes general purchasing guidelines. The Registrant continuously seeks to obtain quality menu ingredients and other supplies from reliable sources at competitive prices. From time to time the Registrant will negotiate contract purchases to insure product availability and to reduce short-term exposure to price fluctuations. Management believes that all essential food and beverage products are available from several qualified suppliers.

Government Regulations

     The Registrant is subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting its business. Each restaurant is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, including alcoholic beverage control, and coastal development, health, safety and fire agencies. The Registrant has not experienced problems in obtaining or renewing required permits or licenses. The failure to receive or retain, or a delay in obtaining any significant license or permit could adversely impact the Registrant’s operations.

     Alcoholic beverage control regulations require that each restaurant apply to a state authority for a license or permit to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises. Licenses must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended, for cause, at any time. Alcoholic beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of the daily operation of each restaurant, including minimum age of patrons and employees, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing and storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. Failure by the Registrant to retain its liquor license could adversely impact the Registrant’s operations.

     Various federal and state labor laws govern the Registrant’s relationship with its employees, including such matters as minimum wage requirements, overtime and other working conditions. Significant additional increases in minimum wage, mandated paid leaves of absence or mandated universal health benefits could adversely impact the Registrant.

License Agreement

     Gladstone’s/Universal City — In 1992 the Registrant entered into a license agreement with MCA Development Venture Two (“MCADVT”), an affiliate of Universal Studios, Inc., which permits MCADVT to use the Gladstone’s 4 Fish name and trademarks at a restaurant in their CityWalk development located in Universal City, California in exchange for a license fee of .8% of the restaurant’s gross receipts during such use. The Gladstone’s 4 Fish restaurant at CityWalk opened in May 1993. Fees received pursuant to this agreement during fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999 were approximately $74,000, $66,000,and $71,000, respectively.

Trademarks

     The Registrant and/or Sea View has registered several of its marks relating to the operation of Gladstone’s and R.J.’s as trademarks and service marks and regards such marks as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of its restaurants.

Competition

     The Registrant’s restaurants compete with a wide variety of restaurants, ranging from national and regional restaurant chains to locally owned restaurants. Restaurants historically have represented a high-risk investment in a very competitive industry. Many of the Registrant’s competitors have significantly greater financial resources than the Registrant. The restaurant business is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns, national and regional economic conditions, demographic trends, consumer confidence in the economy, traffic patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants. Any change in these factors could adversely impact the Registrant. Management believes that the Registrant’s restaurants are comparable in quality, and in many cases superior, to competing restaurants. There is no assurance that the Registrant’s restaurants will be able to compete successfully with other restaurants in their respective areas.

Employees

     The Registrant has approximately 260 employees in restaurant operations. The Registrant believes that its working conditions and compensation packages are competitive with those offered by its competitors and considers relations with its employees to be good.

Seasonality

     The Registrant’s restaurant business is seasonal due to Gladstone’s location on the beach in Pacific Palisades, California. As a result, sales and operating profits are higher during the summer months.

Item 2 PROPERTIES

     Gladstone’s Lease. The current concession agreement for the restaurant provides for rent based on 10% of sales of food and non-alcoholic beverages and 12% of the sales of alcoholic beverages, merchandise, and parking lot revenue, with an annual minimum rent of $1,750,000 and annual supplemental rent of $15,000 plus 1% of Gladstone’s Pacific Palisades annual gross revenue in excess of $14,000,000, and 1% of parking lot revenue in

Table of Contents

excess of $680,000. Rent paid under the current restaurant lease for fiscal 2001 was approximately $1,765,000, representing approximately 14.3% of the restaurant’s sales.

     R.J.’s Lease. In December 1994, the Registrant negotiated an amended and restated lease for RJ’s. The amended lease expires in December 2004 subject to a non-guaranteed extension period of five years. The amended lease provides for monthly rental payments of $13,034 through December 2000. In January 2001 it was adjusted to monthly lease payments of $14,028 based on Consumer Price Index changes. Rent paid in fiscal, 2001 was $161,376.

     Executive Office. The Registrant occupies approximately 2,000 square feet of office space in Pacific Palisades, pursuant to a lease that expires in September 2002 and provides for current monthly rental payments of approximately $4,069. The lease agreement includes an option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five years.

Item 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Registrant is involved in litigation and threatened litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management of the Registrant does not believe that resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business.

Item 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matter was submitted to a vote of the Registrant’s stockholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001.

     At July 20, 2001, the Registrant had approximately 870 shareholders of record.

     Convertible Notes On March 30, 1999, the Registrant completed a private offering of $1,800,000 of subordinated, convertible notes (“Subordinated Notes”) to a limited number of existing shareholders of the Registrant who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds of the offering were used to retire existing indebtedness to Outside LLC (as defined herein), and to finance the renovations at Gladstone’s. The Subordinated Notes are immediately convertible into common stock of the Registrant at a rate of $1 per share, and pay interest at 5% per annum. The Registrant may pay interest on the Subordinated Notes in cash or in kind. All interest due as of March 30, 2001 was paid in kind by issuing a note with identical terms to the Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes mature on March 30, 2003; however, the holders of the Subordinated Notes may elect to receive payment for fifty percent of the outstanding Subordinated Notes on March 30, 2002 to the extent debt outstanding to Lyon Credit Corporation (Senior Debt) has been paid in full. The payment of the principal and interest on the Subordinated Notes is junior and subordinate to the prior payment in full of all indebtedness of the Company to Lyon Credit Corporation.

     Dividends The Registrant has not paid a dividend on its common stock since fiscal 1985. The Registrant presently intends to retain any earnings to repay indebtedness and finance its operations and does not anticipate declaring cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

     The Registrant currently has operations in one business segment, the ownership and operation of restaurants. The Registrant’s restaurant operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea View. Sea View’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Thursday closest to April 30. The fiscal year 2001 contained 53 weeks, and fiscal 2000 and 1999 each contained 52 weeks.

     The Registrant completed the construction of substantial improvements to its Gladstone’s restaurant in October 1999. The improvements have enhanced the dining accommodations available to Gladstone’s patrons. Construction of the improvements to Gladstone’s was performed while the restaurant remained open to the public; however, substantial, although temporary, declines in seating capacity attributable to such construction adversely affected sales during the first and second quarters of 2000.

Restaurant Operations

     Restaurant operations include the results of Gladstone’s 4 Fish in Pacific Palisades, California, and RJ’s — Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, California.

     Total sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 were $14,021,000, an increase of $639,000 or 4.8% as compared to the year ended April 30, 2000. The Registrant’s Gladstone’s 4 Fish restaurant is located on the beach in Pacific Palisades, California and is dependent, to a certain extent, on favorable weather and tourism. Gladstone’s has a large outside deck overlooking the Pacific ocean, which is a very popular destination, but is only open as weather permits. Gladstone’s 4 Fish fiscal 2001 revenues were adversely affected by the inclement weather conditions in fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. The 1999 remodel caused a temporary reduction in seating capacity and a commensurate reduction in revenue in the first two quarters of fiscal 2000. The summer months typically result in higher sales due to Gladstone’s location on the beach.

     Total sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 were $13,382,000, a decrease of $305,000 or 2.2% as compared to the year ended April 30, 1999. Gladstone’s 4 Fish revenues were adversely affected during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 by inclement weather and road closures resulting from the “El Nino” storms. Additionally, during the fourth Quarter of fiscal 1999, the Registrant commenced construction of improvements to Gladstone’s causing a temporary reduction in seating capacity and a commensurate decrease in revenue. The above construction was also the main cause of the reduction in fiscal 2000 revenue for the first two quarters which are typically the highest volume of business.

     In May 1993, MCA Development, Inc.(“MCAD”) opened a Gladstone’s 4 Fish at its Citywalk project in Universal City, California pursuant to a license agreement between the Registrant and a subsidiary of MCAD. License fees for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $74,000, $66,000 and $71,000, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold

     Cost of goods sold includes all food, beverages, liquor, direct labor and other operating expenses, including rent, of the Registrant’s restaurant operations. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 was 89.2% compared to 88.9% for fiscal 2000 and 87.1% for fiscal 1999.

     The cost of goods sold was $12,504,000 in fiscal 2001 as compared to $11,896,000 in fiscal 2000, an increase of $608,000 or 5.1%. The increase in cost of goods sold in fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000, as a percentage of sales, is the result of increased operating costs incurred during fiscal 2001, primarily related to increased labor costs resulting from the minimum wage increase effective January 1, 2001. Additional increases included management labor, worker’s compensation, payroll taxes, management bonus, and group medical insurance. Other costs effected were repair and maintenance, and utilities. Gladstone’s rent expense for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 was $1,744,000 as compared to $1,728,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000.

     Cost of goods sold was $11,896,000 in fiscal 2000 as compared to $11,928,000 in fiscal 1999, a decrease of $32,000 or 0.3%. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000 was 88.9% compared to 87.1% for fiscal 1999. The Registrant’s concerted effort to reduce costs resulted in the decline in the amount of cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales, in fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended April 30, 2001, was $895,000 compared to $950,000 for the year ended April 30, 2000. As a percentage of sales selling, general and administrative expense was 6.4% for fiscal 2001, compared to 7.1% for fiscal 2000.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended April 30, 2001 decreased $55,000 or 5.8% as compared with the year ended April 30, 2000. The decrease is due to the Registrant’s continuing efforts to reduce such expenses, as well as combining Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer positions in April of 2000.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended April 30, 2000, was $950,000 compared to $956,000 for the year ended April 30, 1999. As a percentage of sales selling, general and administrative expense was 7.1% for fiscal 2000,compared to 7.0% for fiscal 1999.

Legal and Litigation Settlement

     Legal and litigation settlement expenses for the year ended April 30, 2001 increased by $68,000 or 90.1% as compared with the year ended April 30, 2000. The increase was associated with a general increase in outstanding legal matters.

     Legal and litigation settlement expenses for the year ended April 30, 2000 decreased by $29,000, or 27.9% as compared with the year ended April 30, 1999. The decrease is

attributable to the Registrant’s utilization of in-house counsel for representation in certain matters and management of external counsel in other matters.

Interest Expense

     For the year ended April 30, 2001, the Registrant recorded interest expense of $173,000, net of interest income of $18,000. Interest expense was related primarily to the note payable with Lyon Credit, for the Gladstone’s remodel, and interest expense on the Subordinated convertible notes.

     For the year ended April 30, 2000, the Registrant recorded interest expense of $282,000, net of interest income of $7,000, primarily related to the note payable with Lyon Credit, for the Gladstone’s remodel, and interest expense on the Subordinated convertible notes.

     For the year ended April 30, 1999, the Registrant recorded interest expense of $303,000, net of interest income of $5,000, primarily related to the cost of maintaining the letter of credit required by the Concession Agreement and to the cost of the registrant’s revolving line of credit.

Depreciation/Amortization Expense

     For the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 depreciation expense was $426,000, $384,000 and $362,000, respectively. During the year ended April 30, 2000, the Registrant placed $1,507,000 of assets that were classified as construction in progress at April 30, 1999 into service, and also purchased an additional $1,332,000 of fixed assets, resulting in an increase in depreciation expense over prior years. This also resulted in increased depreciation during 2001. The assets placed in service pertain to the renovation of the Gladstone’s location completed in July of 1999. Amortization expense relates completely to the Registrant’s Goodwill and other intangible assets and approximated $714,000 per year for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999. In April of fiscal 2000 goodwill was fully amortized.

Income Tax Provision

     For the year ended April 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 the Registrant recorded income tax expense of $3,000, $2,000 and $2,000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On March 30, 1999, the Registrant completed a private offering of $1,800,000 of subordinated, convertible notes (“Subordinated Notes”) to a limited number of existing shareholders of the Registrant who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds of the offering were used to retire existing indebtedness to Outside LLC, an entity affiliated with one of the Company’s directors and principal shareholders, and to finance the renovations at Gladstone’s. The Subordinated Notes are immediately convertible into common stock of the Registrant at a rate of $1 per share, and pay interest at 5% per annum. The Registrant may pay interest on the Subordinated Notes in cash or in kind. The Subordinated Notes mature on March 30, 2003; provided, however, that the holders of the Subordinated Notes may elect to receive payment for fifty percent of the outstanding Subordinated Notes on March 30, 2002 to the extent debt outstanding to Lyon Credit Corporation has been paid in full. The

payment of the principal and interest on the Subordinated Notes is junior and subordinate to the prior payment in full of all indebtedness of the Company to Lyon Credit Corporation.

     The Registrant has entered into an agreement for tenant improvement and equipment financing with Lyon Credit Corporation (“TI Facility”) of $1,089,000 to be repaid over a 5 year period with interest at the rate of 9.94%. At April 30, 2001, the balance due under the TI Facility was $792,000.

     On June 16, 2000, the Company entered into a one year, $500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with U.S. Bank (formerly Santa Monica Bank). The agreement provides for interest at prime plus 1% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1/2 %, and is secured by certain assets of the Company, including its license agreement with MCA for use of the name Gladstone’s. It is also guaranteed by Sea View. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain cash flow and liquidity covenants, and includes a 60 consecutive days out of debt requirement. The Company utilized $437,500 of the capacity of the revolving line of credit as collateral support for a letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank pursuant to the Concession Agreement. The letter of credit was to expire on July 6, 2001, and subsequently has been renewed until September 15, 2002.

     On March 26, 2001, the Company and U.S. Bank amended the terms of the revolving line of credit agreement to provide for an increase of $200,000 from $500,000 to $700,000. The additional $200,000 of available borrowing capacity will be available to the Company during the period November 1, 2000 through May 31, 2001 only, after which the line of credit will revert to its original $500,000 borrowing limit. At April 30, 2001, $62,500 of borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit expires on September 15, 2002.

     On October 23, 2000, the Registrant extended the terms of the agreement with Gladstone’s parking lot operator called Standard Parking for fixed term of two years, from January 1, 2001 through and including December 21, 2002. In addition, commencing in 2000 and during each year of the extended term of the agreement, upon request of the Registrant, the parking lot operator shall loan (“Annual Loan”) to the Registrant an amount not to exceed $150,000 per year, to be paid back from parking lot income. The Annual Loan to Registrant shall not be advanced prior to November 1 nor later than December 31 of any calendar year. The Annual Loan to the Registrant, plus interest at the prime rate of interest as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the date the Annual Loan is made, shall be repaid to Standard Parking by July 31, of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the loan is made. As of April 30, 2001 Registrant owed $120,000 to Standard Parking pursuant to the Annual Loan.

     On March 22, 2000, Sea View entered into a four-month, $250,000 line of credit agreement with Space Partners, an entity affiliated with one of the Registrant’s principal stockholders and with a member of its board of directors. This agreement provided for interest of 10% on all amounts borrowed, required a commitment fee of $2,500 and was guaranteed by the Registrant. Interest expense associated with the agreement totaled $1,666 for fiscal year 2000. At April 30, 2000 the outstanding balance was $100,000 which was paid down in fiscal 2001. There were no borrowings in fiscal 2001 from Space Partners.

     Capital expenditures for the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999 totaled approximately $192,000, $1,332,000, and $1,498,000 respectively. The registrant has no significant commitments for capital expenditures in fiscal 2002.

Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Shareholders
California Beach Restaurants, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of California Beach Restaurants, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of California Beach Restaurants, Inc. and subsidiaries at April 30, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

The Company has operations in one business segment, the ownership and management of two restaurants, Gladstone’s 4 Fish and RJ’s — Beverly Hills.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s restaurant operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea View Restaurants, Inc. (Sea View). Sea View’s fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending on the Thursday closest to April 30. The fiscal years ended on May 3, April 27, and April 29 for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The fiscal year 2001 contained 53 weeks, and fiscal 2000 and 1999 each contained 52 weeks.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of California Beach Restaurants, Inc. and subsidiaries include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist primarily of food, beverages and other restaurant supplies.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. At April 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company believes there has been no impairment of the value of such assets.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of financial instruments such as cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of debt instruments approximates its fair value based on references to similar instruments.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture and equipment is computed by the straight-line method using lives ranging from 3 to 8 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining terms of the leases (including options expected to be exercised) or the estimated lives of the improvements, principally 18 years, whichever is less.

Goodwill

Goodwill is stated at cost and was being amortized using the straight-line method over 10 years. In fiscal 2000, goodwill was fully amortized.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Restaurant and License Revenues

Revenues from the operation of the Company-owned restaurants are recognized when sales occur. License fees are based on the licensee restaurant’s gross receipts and are recorded by the Company in the period related restaurant’s revenues are earned. Fees received pursuant to this agreement during years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999 were $74,000, $66,000 and $71,000, respectively.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as such costs are incurred. The Company expensed $55,000, $110,000 and $68,000 for the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, in connection with advertising.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion no. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share

The Company presents basic loss per common share and diluted loss per common share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per common share includes only the weighted average shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of options, warrants and convertible securities. For the years ended April 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999 basic and diluted loss per common share are the same due to the antidilutive effect of potential common stock equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Note Payable — Related Party

On March 22, 2000, Sea View entered into a four-month, $250,000 line of credit agreement with Space Partners, an entity affiliated with one of the Company’s principal stockholders and a member of its board of directors. This agreement provides for interest of 10% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of $2,500 and is guaranteed by the Company .The entire borrowed amount was paid back in fiscal 2001 and there were no additional borrowings in fiscal 2001.

4. Debt

On October 23, 2000, the Registrant extended the terms of the agreement with Gladstone’s parking lot operator called Standard Parking for fixed term of two years, from January 1, 2001 through and including December 21, 2002. In addition, commencing in 2000 and during each year of the extended term of the agreement, upon request of the Registrant, the parking lot operator shall loan (“Annual Loan”) to the Registrant an amount not to exceed $150,000 per year, to be paid back from parking lot income. The Annual Loan to Registrant shall not be advanced prior to November 1 nor later than December 31 of any calendar year. The Annual Loan to the Registrant, plus interest at the prime rate of interest as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the date the Annual Loan is made, shall be repaid to Standard Parking by July 31, of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the loan is made. As of April 30, 2001 Registrant owed $120,000 to Standard Parking pursuant to the Annual Loan. This balance is recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.

On March 30, 1999, the Company completed a $1,800,000 private offering of subordinated convertible notes due March 25, 2003 (Subordinated Notes). The Subordinated Notes were sold to certain existing stockholders. The Subordinated Notes bear interest at 5% per annum and are immediately convertible into common stock of the Company at a rate of $1 per share. Interest is payable in cash or in kind. The Subordinated Notes mature on March 30, 2003; provided,

however, that the holders of the Subordinated Notes may elect to receive payment for fifty percent of the outstanding Subordinated Notes on March 30, 2002 to the extent debt outstanding to Lyon Credit Corporation has been paid in full. The payment of the principal and interest on the Subordinated Note is junior and subordinate to the prior payment in full of all indebtedness of the Company to Lyon Credit Corporation. The table below reflects the payment of the Subordinated Notes in 2003, after repayment of Lyon Credit Corporation. The Subordinated Notes agreements limit indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company in excess of $4,000,000 until the Subordinated Notes are fully paid or converted.

In 1999, the Company entered into an agreement for tenant improvements and equipment financing with Lyon Credit Corporation for up to $1,089,000 in credit. The financing is to be repaid over a five year period with interest at the rate of yield to maturity of the five year treasury note plus 4% (effective rate of 9.94% at April 30, 2001). The financing is secured by certain tenant improvements and equipment. A total of $792,000 was outstanding under this financing as of April 30, 2001.

On June 16,2000 the Company entered into a one year, $500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with U. S. Bank. The agreement provides for interest at prime plus 1% on all amounts borrowed, requires a commitment fee of 1/2%, and is secured by certain assets of the Company, including its license agreement with MCA for use of the name Gladstone’s. The agreement is also guaranteed by Sea View. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain cash flow and liquidity covenants, and includes a 60 consecutive days out of debt requirement and all covenants have been met. The Company utilized $437,500 of the capacity of the revolving line of credit as collateral support for a letter of credit issued by U.S. Bank pursuant to the Concession Agreement. At April 30, 2001, a total of $62,500 was outstanding in addition to the letter of credit. The letter of credit expires September 15, 2002.

On March 26, 2001, the Company and U.S. Bank amended the terms of the revolving line of credit agreement to provide for a $200,000 increase in the maximum amount of the line of the credit from $500,000 to $700,000. The additional $200,000 of available borrowing capacity will be available to the Company during the period November 1, 2000 through May 31, 2001 only, after which the line of credit will revert to its original $500,000 borrowing limit. At April 30, 2001, $62,500 of borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit expires on September 15, 2002.

As of April 30, 2000, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes net operating loss carryovers available to offset certain future taxable income of approximately $4,605,000 and state net operating loss carryovers of approximately $1,599,000 which expire at various dates from 2001 through 2020.

As a result of changes in control in prior years, net operating losses of approximately $3,740,000 that expire through 2010 are subject to certain restrictions, which limit their future use to approximately $277,000 per year. As a result of this limitation, approximately $693,000 of these net operating loss carryforwards may expire without any utilization.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Options

The Omnibus Stock Plan, which received stockholder approval in April 1995, provides for the issuance of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The plan provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other awards to participants as selected by the Stock Plan Committee of the board of directors, which administers the plan. Options granted pursuant to this plan have expiration dates, which do not exceed 10 years from the date of grant.

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: weighted-average risk-free interest rate of 6% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, dividend yields of 0% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, weighted-average volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 6.8; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of ten years. The amortization of the fair value of options granted was immaterial for 2001, 2000 and 1999.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

    418,000                  
 
   
                 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of these options is six years. The fair value of the options granted in fiscal year 2001 was determined to be $ 0.10.

Pursuant to an existing Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company registers any class of equity security under the Securities Act of 1933, certain investors with a certain minimum number of shares of the Company’s common stock, individually or in aggregate, can request that their shares be included in such registration.

Leases

The Company leases restaurant and office facilities under various noncancelable operating leases with remaining terms ranging from one to twenty years. The terms of certain of the leases require additional rental payments based on a percentage of the restaurants’ sales in excess of a minimum amount. Total amounts charged to rent expense under the Company’s operating leases for the three years ended April 30, 2001 are summarized below:

On November 1, 1997, Sea View and the County of Los Angeles (County) executed a new 20-year concession agreement. The previous agreement expired on October 31, 1997. The agreement, as amended February 9, 1999, includes minimum annual rent payments of $1,750,000, an increase of approximately $600,000 over rents paid in fiscal 1997. Percentage rents based on 10% of food sales and 12% of the sales of alcoholic beverages, merchandise and parking lot revenues will be payable to the extent that percentage rents exceed the minimum annual rent. In addition, the agreement requires an annual supplemental rent payment of $15,000 plus 1% of Gladstone’s annual gross revenue in excess of $14,000,000. The agreement further required the expenditure of at least $2,700,000 for renovations to the restaurant facility by August 9, 1999. During the first two years of the agreement, minimum annual rent is reduced by $218,750 per year. Minimum annual rent will be adjusted every three years to 75% of average total rent paid per year for the prior three years, but in no event less than the current minimum rent. Minimum and percentage rent will be adjusted to fair market rental value after 10 years to the extent fair market rental value exceeds minimum and percentage rents.

The terms of the Concession Agreement afford the County the opportunity to conduct a valuation of the Gladstone’s Pacific Palisades operations (“Concession”), at any time during the first 150 months of the Concession Agreement (commencing November 1, 1997) in the event of a sale of Gladstone’s or 100% of the stock of Sea View or the Registrant, or at any time between the beginning of the 79th month and the end of the 150th month of the Concession Agreement. If the County elects to conduct a valuation, Sea View must thereafter pay the greater of (1) the Supplemental Rent Payments, or (2) an amount determined by amortizing the greater of 5% of the gross Concession value or 20% of the net Concession value (as determined pursuant to the Concession Agreement), less the aggregate amount of Supplemental Rent Payments paid through the date of the valuation, using an interest rate of 9% and equal payments of principal and interest, over the remaining term of the Concession Agreement.

8. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

Leases (continued)

The amended agreement also requires Sea View to post a letter of credit equal to three months minimum rent ($437,500) and maintenance of certain net worth levels, as defined. Initially, the Company posted the letter of credit by utilizing cash collateral provided by Overhead Partners, L.P. (Overhead), an entity affiliated with one of the Company’s principal stockholders and with a member of its board of directors. Since 1999, the Company has been using U.S. Bank to provide for letter of credit agreement and used them for business banking needs starting fiscal 2001.

The agreement also provides, in certain circumstances, approval rights to the County in the event transactions constituting a Change in Ownership or Financing Event, as such terms are defined in the agreement, occur. These provisions may adversely affect the Company’s ability to engage in such transactions.

The parking lot for the Company’s Gladstone’s 4 Fish restaurant is operated by a parking operator pursuant to a management agreement. The Company receives all revenues and pays all operating expenses under this arrangement. During fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company received $161,000, $147,000 and $185,000, respectively, pursuant to this arrangement, net of all expenses (except rent). These amounts have been recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold.

(c) Neither Borrower nor any tenant, contractor, agent or other authorized user of any of the properties shall use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, dispose of, or release any hazardous waste or substance on, under, about or from any of the properties; and any such activity shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances, including without limitation those laws, regulations and ordinances described above. Borrower authorizes Lender and its agents to enter upon the properties to make such inspections and tests as Lender may deem appropriate to determine compliance of the properties with this section of the Agreement. Any inspections or tests made by Lender shall be at Borrower's expense and for Lender's purposes only and shall not be construed to create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lender to Borrower or to any other person. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Borrower's due diligence in investigating the properties for hazardous waste and hazardous substances. Borrower hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Borrower becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and 3 06-22-2001 BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT PAGE 3 LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED) =============================================================================== all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, and expenses which Lender may directly or indirectly sustain or suffer resulting from a breach of this section of the Agreement or as a consequence of any use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, release or threatened release of a hazardous waste or substance on the properties. The provisions of this section of the Agreement, including the obligation to indemnify, shall survive the payment of the indebtedness and the termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall not be affected by Lender's acquisition of any interest in any of the properties, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS.

LIEN PRIORITY. Unless otherwise previously disclosed to Lender in writing, Borrower has not entered into or granted any Security Agreements, or permitted the filing or attachment of any Security Interests on or affecting any of the Collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment of Borrower's Loan and Note, that would be prior or that may in any way be superior to Lender's Security Interests and rights in and to such Collateral. BINDING EFFECT.

================================================================================ PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $500,000.00 DATE OF NOTE: JUNE 22, 2001 PROMISE TO PAY. CALIFORNIA BEACH RESTAURANTS, INC.

Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 15, 2002. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of accrued unpaid interest beginning July 6, 2001, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the same day of each month after that. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the prime rate (the "Index"). The unpaid principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the percentage point described below plus the prime rate announced by the Lender. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower's request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each time that the prime rate changes. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 1,000 percentage point over the Index. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, they will reduce the principal balance due. DEFAULT. Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a) Borrower fails to make any payment when due. (b) Borrower breaks any promise Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan Borrower has with Lender. (c) Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the Related Documents, (d) Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished. (e) Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws. (f) Borrower is in default under any other note, security agreement, lease agreement or lease schedule, loan agreement or other agreement, whether now existing or hereafter made, between Borrower and U.S. Bancorp or any direct or indirect subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp. (g) Any creditor tries to take any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.

(j) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure. LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount. Upon Borrower's failure to pay all amounts declared due pursuant to this section, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 6.000 percentage points over the Index. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower also will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law. This Note has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of California. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Sacramento County, the State of California.

The terms "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substance" shall also include, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum by-products or any fraction thereof and asbestos. The representations and warranties contained herein are based on Grantor's due diligence in investigating the Collateral for hazardous wastes and substances. Grantor hereby (a) releases and waives any future claims against Lender for indemnity or contribution in the event Grantor becomes liable for cleanup or other costs under any such laws, and (b) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender against any and all claims and losses resulting from a breach of this provision of this Agreement. This obligation to indemnify shall survive the payment of the Indebtedness and the satisfaction of this Agreement. MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. Grantor shall procure and maintain all risks insurance, including without limitation fire, theft and liability coverage together with such other insurance as Lender may require with respect to the Collateral, in form, amounts, coverages and basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and issued by a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Lender. Grantor, upon request of Lender, will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages will not be cancelled or diminished without at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to Lender and not including any disclaimer of the insurer's liability for failure to give such a notice. Each insurance policy also shall include an endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in any way by any act, omission or default of Grantor or any other person. In connection with all policies covering assets in which Lender holds or is offered a security interest, Grantor will provide Lender with such loss payable or other endorsements as Lender may require. If Grantor at any time fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required under this Agreement, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain such insurance as Lender deems appropriate, including if it so chooses "single interest insurance," which will cover only Lender's interest in the Collateral. APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Grantor shall promptly notify Lender of any loss or damage to the Collateral. Lender may make proof of loss if Grantor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days of the casualty. All proceeds of any insurance on the Collateral, including accrued proceeds thereon, shall be held by Lender as part of the Collateral. If Lender consents to repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed Collateral, Lender shall, upon satisfactory proof of expenditure, pay or reimburse Grantor from the proceeds for the reasonable cost of repair or restoration. 15 06-22-2001 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 4 LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED) ================================================================================ If Lender does not consent to repair or replacement of the Collateral, Lender shall retain a sufficient amount of the proceeds to pay all of the Indebtedness, and shall pay the balance to Grantor. Any proceeds which have not been disbursed within six (6) months after their receipt and which Grantor has not committed to the repair or restoration of the Collateral shall be used to prepay the Indebtedness. INSURANCE RESERVES. Lender may require Grantor to maintain with Lender reserves for payment of insurance premiums, which reserves shall be created by monthly payments from Grantor of a sum estimated by Lender to be sufficient to produce, at least fifteen (15) days before the premium due date, amounts at least equal to the insurance premiums to be paid. If fifteen (15) days before payment is due, the reserve funds are insufficient, Grantor shall upon demand pay any deficiency to Lender. The reserve funds shall be held by Lender as a general deposit and shall constitute a non-interest-bearing account which Lender may satisfy by payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor as they become due. Lender does not hold the reserve funds in trust for Grantor, and Lender is not the agent of Grantor for payment of the insurance premiums required to be paid by Grantor. The responsibility for the payment of premiums shall remain Grantor's sole responsibility. INSURANCE REPORTS. Grantor, upon request of Lender, shall furnish to Lender reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as Lender may reasonably request including the following: (a) the name of the insurer; (b) the risks insured; (c) the amount of the policy; (d) the property insured; (e) the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that value; and (f) the expiration date of the policy. In addition, Grantor shall upon request by Lender (however not more often than annually) have an independent appraiser satisfactory to Lender determine, as applicable, the cash value or replacement cost of the Collateral. GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS. Until default and except as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness. EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses shall become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity. This Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: DEFAULT OF INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due on the Indebtedness. OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Grantor to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or in any other note, security agreement, lease agreement or lease schedule, loan agreement or other agreement, whether now existing or hereafter made, between Grantor and U.S. Bancorp or any direct or indirect subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp. DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Should Borrower or any Grantor default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's or any Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents. FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Grantor or Borrower under this Agreement, the Note or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished. DEFECTIVE COLLATERALIZATION.

INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Grantor or Borrower's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Grantor or Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Grantor or Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Grantor or Borrower. CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or Borrower or by any governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor or Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender. EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent. INSECURITY. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure. RIGHT AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender shall have all the rights of a secured party under the California Uniform Commercial Code. In addition and without limitation, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Lender may declare the entire Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice. ASSEMBLE COLLATERAL. Lender may require Grantor to deliver to Lender all or any portion of the Collateral and any and all certificates of title and other documents relating to the Collateral. Lender may require Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender. Lender also shall have full power to enter upon the property of Grantor to take possession of and remove the Collateral. If the Collateral contains other goods not covered by this Agreement at the time of repossession, Grantor agrees Lender may take such other goods, provided that Lender makes reasonable efforts to return them to Grantor after repossession. SELL THE COLLATERAL. Lender shall have full power to sell, lease, transfer, or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or that of Grantor. Lender may sell the Collateral at public auction or private sale. Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Grantor reasonable notice of the time after which any private sale or any 16 06-22-2001 COMMERCIAL SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE 5 LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED) =============================================================================== other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given at least ten (10) days, or such lesser time as required by state law, before the time of the sale or disposition. All expenses relating to the disposition of the Collateral, including without limitation the expenses of retaking, holding, insuring, preparing for sale and selling the Collateral, shall become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid. APPOINT RECEIVER. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the following rights and remedies regarding the appointment of a receiver: (a) Lender may have a receiver appointed as a matter of right, (b) the receiver may be an employee of Lender and may serve without bond, and (c) all fees of the receiver and his or her attorney shall become part of the Indebtedness secured by this Agreement and shall be payable on demand, with interest at the Note rate from date of expenditure until repaid. COLLECT REVENUES, APPLY ACCOUNTS. Lender, either itself or through a receiver, may collect the payments, rents, income, and revenues from the Collateral. Lender may at any time in its discretion transfer any Collateral into its own name or that of its nominee and receive the payments, rents, income, and revenues therefrom and hold the same as security for the Indebtedness or apply it to payment of the Indebtedness in such order of preference as Lender may determine. Insofar as the Collateral consists of accounts, general intangibles, insurance policies, instruments, chattel paper, choses in action, or similar property, Lender may demand, collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose, or realize on the Collateral as Lender may determine, whether or not Indebtedness or Collateral is then due. For these purposes, Lender may, on behalf of and in the name of Grantor, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Grantor; change any address to which mail and payments are to be sent; and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money orders, documents of title, instruments and items pertaining to payment, shipment, or storage of any Collateral. To facilitate collection, Lender may notify account debtors and obligors on any Collateral to make payments directly to Lender. OBTAIN DEFICIENCY. If Lender chooses to sell any or all of the Collateral, Lender may obtain a judgment against Borrower for any deficiency remaining on the Indebtedness due to Lender after application of all amounts received from the exercise of the rights provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall be liable for a deficiency even if the transaction described in this subsection is a sale of accounts or chattel paper. OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or the Related Documents or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor or Borrower under this Agreement, after Grantor or Borrower's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement: AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement.

Grantor hereby appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full power of substitution to do the following: (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue and recover all sums of money or other property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or payable from the Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all claims, instruments, receipts, checks, drafts or warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral, and, in the place and stead of Grantor, to execute and deliver its release and settlement for the claim; and (d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or advisable. This power is given as security for the Indebtedness, and the authority hereby conferred is and shall be irrevocable and shall remain in full force and effect until renounced by Lender. PREFERENCE PAYMENTS.

SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances.

Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender. WAIVER OF CO-OBLIGOR'S RIGHTS. If more than one person is obligated for the indebtedness, Borrower irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes all claims against such other person which Borrower has or would otherwise have by virtue of payment of the indebtedness or any part thereof, specifically including but not limited to all rights of indemnity, contribution or exoneration.

Grantor understands and agrees that the foregoing waivers are waivers of substantive rights and defenses to which Grantor might otherwise be entitled under state and federal law. The rights and defenses waived include, without limitation, those provided by California laws of suretyship and guaranty, anti-deficiency laws, and the Uniform Commercial Code. Grantor acknowledges that Grantor has provided these waivers of rights and defenses with the intention that they be fully relied upon by Lender. Until all Indebtedness is paid in full, Grantor waives any right to enforce any remedy Lender may have against Borrower or any other guarantor, surety, or other person, and further, Grantor waives any right to participate in any collateral for the Indebtedness now or hereafter held by Lender. If now or hereafter (a) Borrower shall be or become insolvent, and (b) the Indebtedness shall not at all times until paid be fully secured by collateral pledged by Borrower, Grantor hereby forever waives and relinquishes in favor of Lender and Borrower, and their respective successors, any claim or right to payment Grantor may now have or hereafter have or acquire against Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, so that at no time shall Grantor be or become a "creditor" of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. section 547(b), or any successor provision of the Federal bankruptcy laws. RIGHT OF SETOFF. Grantor hereby grants Lender a contractual security interest in any hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers all of Grantor's right, title and interest in and to Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including all accounts held jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future, excluding, however, all IRA and Keough accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest would be prohibited by law.

Grantor agrees to deliver to Lender immediately upon receipt, in the exact form received and without commingling with other property, all Income and Proceeds from the Collateral which may be received by, paid, or delivered to Grantor or for Grantor's account, whether as an addition to, in discharge of, in substitution of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral. APPLICATION OF CASH. At Lender's option, Lender may apply any cash, whether included in the Collateral or received as Income and Proceeds or through liquidation, sale, or retirement, of the Collateral, to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness or such portion thereof as Lender shall choose whether or not matured. TRANSACTIONS WITH OTHERS. Lender may (a) extend time for payment or other performance, (b) grant a renewal or change in terms or conditions, or (c) compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any one or more Obligors, endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender deems advisable, without obtaining the prior written consent of Grantor, and no such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights against Grantor or the Collateral. ALL COLLATERAL SECURES INDEBTEDNESS. All Collateral shall be security for the Indebtedness, whether the Collateral is located at one or more offices or branches of Lender and whether or not the office or branch where the Indebtedness is created is aware of or relies upon the Collateral. COLLECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender, at Lender's option may, but need not, collect directly from the Obligors on any of the Collateral all Income and Proceeds or other sums of money and other property due and to become due under the Collateral, and Grantor authorizes and directs the Obligors, if Lender exercises such option, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and Proceeds and other sums of money and other property payable by the terms of the Collateral and to accept Lender's receipt for the payments. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, (a) to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue and recover all Income and Proceeds and other sums of money and other property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or payable from the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Collateral; (b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments, receipts, checks, drafts and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral, and in the place and stead of Grantor, execute and deliver Grantor's release and acquitance for Grantor; (d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or institute or take part in any proceedings, either in Lender's own name or in the name of Grantor, or otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may seem to be necessary or advisable; and (e) to execute in Grantor's name and to deliver to the Obligors on Grantor's behalf, at the time and in the manner specified by the Collateral, any necessary Instruments or documents.

When applicable law provides more than one method of perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the method(s) to be used. Upon request of Lender, Grantor will sign and deliver any writings necessary to perfect Lender's security interest. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as Grantor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to perfect or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement.

EXPENDITURES BY LENDER. If not discharged or paid when due, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) discharge or pay any amounts required to be discharged or paid by Grantor under this Agreement, including without limitation all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral. Lender also may (but shall not be obligated to) pay all costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses shall become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (a) be payable on demand, (b) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become due during either (i) the term of any applicable insurance policy or (ii) the remaining term of the Note, or (c) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity.

LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender's possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its value.

Lender shall have no responsibility for (a) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (b) preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third persons, (c) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchange, offers, tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (d) informing Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender shall have no liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: DEFAULT ON INDEBTEDNESS. Failure of Borrower to make any payment when due on the Indebtedness. OTHER DEFAULTS. Failure of Borrower or Grantor to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or failure of Borrower to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreements between Lender and Borrower. INSOLVENCY.

CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or Grantor or by any governmental agency against the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Indebtedness.

Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent. INSECURITY. Lender, in good faith, deems itself insecure. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs under this Agreement, at any time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment penalty which Borrower would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to Borrower or Grantor. COLLECT THE COLLATERAL. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender's option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession of the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness. SELL THE COLLATERAL. Sell the Collateral, at Lender's discretion, as a unit or in parcels, at one or more public or private sales. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail to Grantor, or any of them, notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the time and place of any public sale, or of the date after which any private sale may be 21 06-22-2001 COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT PAGE 4 LOAN NO 2789-34 (CONTINUED) ================================================================================ made. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice is satisfied if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantor, or any of them, at the last address Grantor has given Lender in writing. If a public sale is held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all requirements of notice to the public by a single publication in any newspaper of general circulation in the county where the Collateral is located, setting forth the time and place of sale and a brief description of the property to be sold. Lender may be a purchaser at any public sale. REGISTER SECURITIES. Register any securities included in the Collateral in Lender's name and exercise any rights normally incident to the ownership of securities. SELF SECURITIES. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws, notwithstanding any other provision of this or any other agreement. If, because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is or believes it is unable to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantor agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to delay sale until the securities can be registered, and may make a private sale to one or more persons or to a restricted group of persons, even though such sale may result in a price that is less favorable than might be obtained in an open market transaction, and such a sale shall be considered commercially reasonable. If any securities held as Collateral are "restricted securities" as defined in the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Regulation D or Rule 144) or state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws, or if Borrower or Grantor is an affiliate of the issuer of the securities, Borrower and Grantor agree that neither Grantor nor any agent of Grantor will sell or dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's prior written consent. FORECLOSURE. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the Collateral. TRANSFER TITLE. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the Collateral.

OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Have and exercise any or all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or which is received from the collection or sale of the Collateral, to reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, attorney fees as provided below, and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the collection and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear. Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. All of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its remedies. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement: AMENDMENTS. This Agreement, together with any Related Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Agreement. No alteration of or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement has been delivered to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of California. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower and Grantor agree upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Sacramento County, the State of California. Lender, Borrower and Grantor hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender, Borrower or Grantor against the other. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Borrower and Grantor agree to pay upon demand all of Lender's costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses, incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help enforce this Agreement, and Borrower and Grantor shall pay the costs and expenses of such enforcement. Costs and expenses include Lender's attorneys' fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (and including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower and Grantor also shall pay all court costs and such additional fees as may be directed by the court. CAPTION HEADINGS. Caption headings in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Agreement. NOTICES. All notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, may be sent by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), and shall be effective when actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier or deposited in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address shown above. Any party may change its address for notices under this Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party's address. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one Borrower or Grantor, notice to any Borrower or Grantor will constitute notice to all Borrower and Grantors. For notice purposes, Borrower and Grantor will keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower and Grantor's current address(es). SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any other persons or circumstances. If feasible, any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable. SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. Subject to the limitations set forth above on transfer of the Collateral, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. WAIVER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

Lender and Borrower agree that all disputes, claims and controversies between them, whether individual, joint, or class in nature, arising from this Agreement or otherwise, including without limitation contract and tort disputes, shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, upon request of either party. No act to take or dispose of any collateral securing this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of this arbitration agreement or be prohibited by this arbitration agreement. This includes, without limitation, obtaining injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order; invoking a power of sale under any deed of trust or mortgage; obtaining a writ of attachment or imposition of a receiver; or exercising any rights relating to personal property, including taking or disposing of such property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender's right to strict performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this Agreement if any person who signed the original obligation does not sign this Agreement below, then all persons signing below acknowledge that this Agreement is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the non-signing party consents to the changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent actions. LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more past due, borrower will be charged a late charge of 5% of the delinquent payment. PAYMENT BY AUTOMATIC DEDUCTION.

If there are insufficient funds in the account to pay the automatic deduction in full, Lender may allow the account to become overdrawn, or Lender may reverse the automatic deduction. Borrower will pay all fees on the account which result from the automatic deductions, including any overdraft/NSF charges. If for any reason Lender does not charge the account for a payment, or if an automatic payment is reversed, the payment is still due according to this Note. If the account is a Money Market Account, the number of withdrawals from that account is limited as set out in the account agreement. Lender may cancel the automatic deduction at any time in its discretion.
