1996 resulted in a net income of $58,690 compared to a net loss of $56,223 for
the same period in 1995. 

During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company invested over $2,000,000
in additional brewing equipment and tanks, as well as restaurant expansion.
These expenditures, together with working capital requirements, were funded by
bank borrowings of $1,600,000 during the period. In addition, due to payments
due on capital expenditure projects paid in July, the accounts payable balance
was $868,000 at June 30, 1996 compared to $583,000 at December 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires capital principally to expand its production capacity,
increase the productivity of its manufacturing operations and fund its working
capital needs. To date, the Company has met its capital requirements through
cash flow from operations, bank borrowings, advances from certain stockholders
and the private and public sale of its Common Stock.

The Company has budgeted a total of $3.5 million for capital expenditures
through 1996 and into 1997, principally to improve product and process quality,
implement production efficiencies, provide cost savings and increase capacity. 
Such expenditures, as well as working capital requirements, will be funded
through cash flow from 

                                      6

operations, funds available under the Company's line of credit facilities, 
additional equity offerings or a combination thereof.

The Company has arranged with Bank of America Oregon term debt of $1,400,000, a
$1,000,000 operating line and a $2,000,000 equipment line to support its capital
expenditure and working capital needs. As of August 5, 1996 the balance
outstanding in term debt was $1,393,000; on the operating line, $450,000; and,
$721,000 on the equipment line.

                             PORTLAND BREWING COMPANY

Pursuant to ORS 57.360 (1), the undersigned corporation executes the following
Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation:

                                       I

"RESOLVED, that Article III of the Articles of Incorporation is amended to read
as follows:

                                 "ARTICLE III

The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have the authority to
issue is 20,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $.25 per share.'"

                                       III

     A.   The aggregate number of shares that the Corporation shall have
authority to issue is Five Million (5,000,000) shares of common stock and One
Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of preferred stock.

     B.   The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series at such time
or times and for such consideration or considerations as the board of directors
may determine. Each series shall be so designated to distinguish its shares from
the shares of all other series and classes. All shares of a series of preferred
stock shall have preferences, limitations and relative rights identical with
those of other shares of the same series and, except to the extent otherwise
provided in the articles of amendment adopted by the board of directors creating
the series, of those of other series of the same class. Except as otherwise
provided in these articles of incorporation, different series of preferred stock
shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purpose
of voting by classes.

     C.   Subject to the foregoing, the board of directors is expressly
authorized to provide for the issuance of all or any shares of the preferred
stock in one or more series, each with such preferences, limitations and
relative rights as shall be stated in the articles of amendment adopted by the
board of directors to create such series and filed with the Oregon Secretary of
State in accordance with the Oregon Business Corporation Act. The authority of
the board of directors with respect to each such series shall include, without
limitation of the foregoing, the right to provide that the shares of each such
series may (1) have special, conditional, or limited voting rights, or no voting
rights; (2) be redeemable or convertible (a) at the option of the Corporation,
the shareholder, or another person on the occurrence of a designated event, (b)
for cash, indebtedness, securities, or other property, or (c) in a designated
amount or in an amount determined in accordance with a designated formula or by
reference to extrinsic data or events; (3) entitle the holders to distributions
calculated in any manner, including dividends that may be cumulative,
noncumulative, or partially cumulative; and (4) have preference over any other
classes or series of shares with respect to distributions, including dividends
and distributions upon the dissolution of the Corporation; all as the board of
directors may deem advisable and as are not inconsistent with the Oregon
Business Corporation Act and the provisions of these articles of incorporation.

     3.02 RIGHTS OF COMMON STOCK.  Subject to provisions governing preferred
stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of the common
stock shall have unlimited voting rights and the unlimited right to receive the
net assets of the Corporation upon dissolution.

     3.03 VOTING OF COMMON STOCK.  Except as otherwise required by law, each
outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter voted
on at a shareholders' meeting, and each outstanding share of preferred stock is
entitled to such vote or votes, if any, as fixed by the board of directors in
the articles of amendment filed pursuant to paragraph B of provision 3.01 above.

the sound value thereof, the lessor may or may  not elect to repair the same;
written notice of lessor's election shall be given lessee within fifteen days
after the occurrence of the damage; if notice is not so given, lessor

but partially destroyed and the damage so occasioned shall not amount to the
extent indicated above, or if greater than said extent and lessor elects to
repair, as aforesaid, then the lessor shall repair the same with all convenient
speed and shall have the right to take possession of and occupy, to the
exclusion of the lessee, all or any part thereof in order to make the necessary
repairs, and the lessee hereby agrees to vacate upon request, all or any  part
thereof which the lessor may require for the purpose of making necessary
repairs, and for the period of time between the day of such damage and until
such repairs have been substantially completed there shall be such an abatement
of rent as the nature of the injury or damage and its interference with the
occupancy of the premises by the lessee shall warrant; however, if the premises
be but slightly 

<PAGE>

injured and the damage so occasioned shall not cause any material 
interference with the occupation of the premises by lessee, then there shall 
be no abatement of rent and the lessor shall repair the damage with all 
convenient speed.

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS  (15) Neither the lessor nor the lessee shall be
liable to the other for loss arising out of damage to or destruction of the
premises, or the building or improvement of which the premises are a part or
with which they are connected, or the contents of any thereof, when such loss is
caused by any of the perils which are or could be included within or insured
against by a standard form of fire insurance with extended coverage, including
sprinkler leakage insurance, if any.  All such claims for any and all loss,
however caused, hereby are waived.  Such absence of liability shall exist
whether or not the damage or destruction is caused by the negligence of either
lessor or lessee or by any of their respective agents, servants or employees. 
It is the intention and agreement of the lessor and the lessee that the rentals
reserved by this lease have been fixed in contemplation that both parties shall
fully provide their own insurance protection at their own expense, and that both
parties shall look to their respective insurance carriers for reimbursement of
any such loss, and further, that the insurance carriers involved shall not be
entitled to subrogation under any circumstances against any party to this lease.
Neither the lessor nor the lessee shall have any interest or claim in the
other's insurance policy or policies, or the proceeds thereof, unless
specifically covered therein as a joint assured.

EMINENT DOMAIN (16) In case of the condemnation or purchase of all or any
substantial part of the premises by any public or private corporation with the
power of condemnation this lease may be terminated, effective on the date
possession is taken, by either party hereto on written notice to the other and
in that case the lessee shall not be liable for any rent after the termination 
date.  Lessee shall not be entitled to and hereby expressly waives any right to
any part of the condemnation award or purchase price.

FOR SALE AND FOR RENT SIGNS   (17) During the period of 90 days prior to the
date above fixed for the termination of this lease, the lessor herein may post
on the premises or in the windows thereof signs of moderate size notifying the
public that the premises are "for sale" or "for lease."

DELIVERING UP PREMISES ON TERMINATION        (18) At the expiration of the lease
term or upon any sooner termination thereof, the lessee will quit and deliver up
the premises and all future erections or additions to or upon the same, broom-
clean, to the lessor or those having lessor's estate in the premises, peaceably,
quietly, and in as good order and condition, reasonable use and wear thereof,
damage by fire, unavoidable casualty and the elements alone excepted, as the
same are now in or hereafter may be put in by the lessor.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OR EXCEPTIONS (19) See "Addendum A" attached and made a

these conditions, that (1) if the lessee shall be in arrears in the payment of
rent for a period of ten days after WRITTEN NOTICE THAT RENT IS DUE BUT UNPAID,
or (2) if the lessee shall fail or neglect to perform or observe any of the
covenants and agreements contained herein on lessee's part to be done, kept,
performed and observed and such default shall continue for ten days or more
after written notice of such failure or neglect shall be given to lessee, or (3)
if the lessee shall be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or (4)
if any assignment of lessee's property shall be made for the benefit o
creditors, or (5) if on the expiration of this lease lessee fails to surrender
possession of the premises, the lessor or those having lessor's estate in the
premises, may terminate this lease and, lawfully, at lessor's option immediately
or at any time thereafter, without demand or notice, enter into and upon the
premises and every part thereof and repossess the same, and expel lessee and
those claiming by, through and under lessee and remove lessee's effects at
lessee's expense, forcibly if necessary and store the same, all without being
deemed guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which otherwise
might be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant.

     Neither the termination of this lease by forfeiture nor the taking or
recovery of possession of the premises shall deprive lessor of any other action,
right, or remedy against lessee for possession, rent or damages, nor shall 

<PAGE>

any omission by lessor to enforce any forfeiture, right or remedy to which 
lessor may be entitled be deemed a waiver by lessor of the right to enforce 
the performance of all terms and conditions of this lease by lessee.

     In the event of any re-entry by lessor, lessor may lease or relet the
premises in whole or in part to any tenant or tenants who may be satisfactory to
lessor, for any duration, and for the best rent, terms and conditions as lessor
may reasonably obtain.  Lessor shall apply the rent received from any such
tenant first to the cost of retaking and reletting the premises, including
remodeling required to obtain any such tenant, and then to any arrears of rent
and future rent payable under this lease and any other damages to which lessor
may be entitled hereunder.

     Any property which lessee leaves on the premises after abandonment or
expiration of the lease, or for more than ten days after any termination of the
lease by landlord, shall be deemed to have been abandoned, and lessor may remove
and sell the property at public or private sale as lessor sees fit, without
being liable for any prosecution therefor or for damages by reason thereof, and
the net proceeds of any such sale shall be applied toward the expenses of
landlord and rent as aforesaid, and the balance of such amounts, if any, shall
be held for and paid to the lessee.

HOLDING OVER   In the event the lessee for any reason shall hold over after the
expiration of this lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to operate as a
renewal or extension of this lease, but shall only create a tenancy from month
to month which may be terminated at will at any time by the lessor.

ATTORNEY FEES AND COURT COSTS      In case suit or action is instituted to
enforce compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this lease,
or to collect the rental which may become due hereunder, or any portion thereof,
the losing party agrees to pay the prevailing party's reasonable attorney fees
incurred throughout such proceeding, including at trial, on appeal, and for
post-judgment collection.  The lessee agrees to pay and discharge all lessor's
costs and expenses, including lessor's reasonable attorney's fees that shall
arise from enforcing any provision or covenants of this lease even though no
suit or action is instituted.

WAIVER    Any waiver by the lessor of any breach of any covenant herein
contained to be kept and performed by the lessee shall not be deemed or
considered as a continuing waiver, and shall not operate to bar or prevent the
lessor from declaring a forfeiture for any succeeding breach, either of the same
condition or covenant or otherwise.

NOTICES   Any notice required by the terms of this lease to be given by one
party hereto to the other or desired so to be given, shall be sufficient if in
writing, contained in a sealed envelope, and sent first class mail, with postage
fully prepaid, and if intended for the lessor herein, then if addressed to the

imposed upon either of the parties hereto shall extend to, inure to the benefit
of and bind, as the circumstances may require, the heirs, successors, personal
representatives and so far as this lease is assignable by the terms hereof, to
the assigns of such parties.

may be more than one person; that if the context so requires, the singular
pronoun shall be taken to mean and include the plural, and that generally all
grammatical changes shall be made, assumed and implied to make the provisions
hereof apply equally to corporations and to individuals.

     termination under this item (b) shall be accomplished by a written notice
     alerting Distributor of a failure to comply with this Agreement, the
     intention of Supplier to terminate this Agreement and the reasons for such 
     termination, and the date the termination shall occur, which date shall be
     not less than ninety (90) days after Distributor's receipt of the notice. 
     Distributor shall be allowed, in such notice, thirty (30) days in which to
     submit a plan of corrective action to comply with this Agreement, and an

     with respect to the Distributor; (iii) Distributor, or any individual who 
     holds or owns ten percent (10%) of the stock or value of Distributor, 
     has been convicted of, or pleads guilty to, a felony; (iv) Distributor has 
     committed a fraud in its dealings with Supplier or the Supplier's products;
     (v) Distributor makes a substantial misrepresentation to Supplier which 
     Distributor knew to be false and which Supplier relied upon to its 
     detriment; (vi) an assignment of Distributor's rights under this 
     Agreement, or a change of a controlling ownership interest, other 
     than that caused by the death or legal incapacity of Distributor, 
     has been made without written notice as provided in this Agreement, 
     and the Supplier has given written notice to Distributor of Supplier's 
     intention to terminate on the grounds of transfer without notice unless 
     the transfer is reversed within thirty (30) days from receipt of the 
     notice; or (vii) an assignment of Distributor's rights is made despite 
     timely and proper notice of disapproval.

          6.   [Intentionally Omitted]

          7.   REPURCHASE UPON TERMINATION.  In the event of a termination of
this Agreement, Supplier (or its designee) shall repurchase from Distributor, at
the laid-in cost to Distributor, the products of Supplier, including any taxes
paid on such by Distributor, together with a reasonable charge by Distributor
for handling the product then unsold by Distributor.  Upon tender by Supplier of
the repurchase amount, Distributor shall deliver any such inventory and a
current list and schedule of customers.  Distributor shall maintain its
inventory in a condition that such will be saleable by Supplier or by Supplier's
replacement distributor as fresh product within ten (10) days.  

          8.   ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION.  

               8.1  DEFINED.  In the event Supplier terminates this Agreement,
cancels this Agreement, or fails to renew this Agreement or to continue under
this Agreement, in any case doing so other than for good cause, then Distributor
shall be entitled to additional compensation from Supplier on account of such
action, but only in the amount set forth in this Section 8; no such additional
compensation shall be paid by reason of a termination, cancellation, or failure
to renew or to continue pursuant to Section 5(b) or 5(c).  In the event
additional compensation is payable pursuant to this Section 8.1, such
compensation shall consist of two elements, which are (a) compensation for the
fair market value of any and all assets, including ancillary businesses of
Distributor, used in distributing the products of Supplier (the "Distribution
Assets"), and (b) compensation for the good will of the business.  The total
compensation to be paid by Supplier to Distributor, if any, shall be reduced by
any net sum received by Distributor from the sale of Distribution Assets, as
well as by whatever value such Distribution Assets may have to Distributor that
is unrelated to Supplier's products.

               8.2  DETERMINATION.  During the 30-day period immediately
following the date upon which Supplier terminates this Agreement, cancels this
Agreement, or fails to renew this Agreement or continue under this Agreement,
the parties shall attempt to agree upon whether such action was for good cause. 
If the parties are unable to reach agreement on this issue within the 30 days
allowed, then this issue shall be conclusively determined by binding arbitration
conducted by a third party arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall be appointed by
agreement of the parties within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day
period; otherwise, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the presiding judge of
the Circuit Court of Multnomah County upon request by either party.  Each party
shall pay its own fees and expenses related to the arbitration and one-half of
the fee of the arbitrator; however, if the arbitrator determines that one party 
"prevailed" at the arbitration, then the other party shall pay the entire fee of
the arbitrator.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing and
shall be delivered to both parties.  Until the decision of the arbitrator has
been rendered, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If the
arbitrator determines that the action by Supplier was without good cause,
additional compensation shall be payable under this Section 8.

               8.3  ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION PAYMENT.  In the event the parties
agree that additional compensation is payable under this Section 8, or in the
event the arbitrator determines, pursuant to Section 8.2, that additional
compensation is payable (i.e., determines that the action of Supplier was
without good cause), then additional compensation shall be calculated and paid. 
The parties shall first attempt to agree, for a period of 30 


<PAGE>

days, as to the amount of additional compensation to be paid.  The 30-day 
period shall commence to run upon the date that the parties agree that 
additional compensation is payable, or upon the date that the arbitrator 
makes such determination and notice of the decision of the arbitration is 
sent to the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree upon the amount of 
the additional compensation within such 30-day period, then the amount of 
such additional compensation shall be determined by further arbitration.  The 
items to be agreed upon by the parties, or failing such agreement, to be 
determined by the arbitrator, are (a) the fair market value of any and all 
Distribution Assets, (b) the value of the "good will of the business", and 
(c) the amount by which the foregoing items shall be reduced, which is equal 
to the net sum received by Distributor from the sale of Distribution Assets, 
as well as the value the Distribution Assets have to Distributor that is 
unrelated to Supplier's products.  The value of the "good will of the 
business" shall be a sum equal to the fair market value of the exclusive 
right to distribute Supplier's products in the designated territory, as 
amended from time to time.  Except as provided below, the value of the "good 
will of the business" shall be equal to 12 months of gross profit (sales 
minus cost of goods sold) of Distributor from the sale of the products of 
Supplier, with monthly sales being deemed to be the monthly mean average of 
sales by Distributor during the six calendar months immediately preceding the 
date upon which the termination, cancellation, failure to renew, or failure 
to continue occurs.  However, if either party believes that 12 times such 
monthly gross profit amount is more than or less than the fair market value 
of the exclusive right to distribute Supplier's products in the designated 
territory, then the arbitrator shall determine the then-current industry 
standard for the sale of exclusive distribution rights for "premium micro" 
brands expressed as a number of months times gross profit, which 
determination shall be binding on the parties and shall be multiplied by 
Distributor's gross profit to determine the "good will of the business" value.

               If the parties are unable to agree upon the three compensation
issues within the 30-day period allowed for such agreement, then the issues (or
those which are not agreed, in writing, by the end of such 30-day period) shall
be conclusively determined by binding arbitration conducted by a third party
arbitrator to be appointed by agreement of the parties within 10 days after the
expiration of such 30-day period, otherwise to be appointed by the presiding
judge of the Circuit Court of Multnomah County.  Each party shall pay its own
fees and expenses related to the arbitration and one-half of the fee of the
arbitrator; however, if the arbitrator determines that one party "prevailed" at
the arbitration, then the other party shall pay the entire fee of the
arbitrator.

               8.4  SOLE AMOUNT.  The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8
shall be the sole and exclusive amounts payable to Distributor for the goodwill
of the business by reason of a termination, cancellation, or failure to renew or
to continue by Supplier other than for good cause.  Distributor agrees to take
and to accept such amounts in lieu of any other amount for such goodwill.  The
parties have considered the difficulty of determining and proving with certainty
the amount of any actual loss of such goodwill, and have agreed upon this
liquidated damages formula as a fair estimate of any such damages.

          9.   ASSIGNMENT.  Subject to the provisions of ORS 474, if any are
applicable, this Agreement will not be assigned by Distributor without the prior
written consent of Supplier, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
but which may be issued subject to reasonable conditions.  A transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of Distributor or of a controlling share in the
business shall be deemed an assignment for purposes of the foregoing, but the
parties shall honor the provisions of ORS 474 which relate to transfers of the
business or any share in the business, such provisions being incorporated herein
by reference.  Distributor shall give reasonable prior notice of any proposed
assignment, and shall supply information requested by Supplier to evaluate the
proposed assignment.

          10.  APPLICABLE LAW.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Oregon.  To the extent that any provision of this
Agreement conflicts with any mandatory provision of ORS Chapter 474, as now in
existence or from time-to-time in effect, the statutory mandate shall control.

          11.  NOTICES.  Notices to each party shall be sent to the address
specified above, or to such other address as either such party shall hereafter
specify in writing to the other.  Notices shall be deemed given and received on
the fifth day following deposit in the U.S. mail, or upon the date hand
delivered to the address of the recipient.

<PAGE>

          12.  FILING.  Supplier shall immediately file a copy of this Agreement
and all amendments thereto with the Oregon Liquor control commission as required
by ORS Chapter 474.

          13.  INTERPRETATION.  Should any provision hereof be deemed illegal or
unenforceable as written, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent
allowed by law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and
effect.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of
Supplier and Distributor regarding the distribution of the products of Supplier
by Distributor and supersedes the 1984 Agreement.  This Agreement may be amended
only by a written document signed by both parties.  No waiver shall be
established absent proof of a written document setting forth the waiver signed
by the waiving party.  The foregoing shall not limit the effect of Supplier's
standard Terms and Conditions, as in effect from time to time, subject, however,
to the provisions of Section 4 above.

          14.  ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event that litigation or arbitration is
instituted to enforce or to interpret any provisions of this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such litigation or arbitration shall be entitled to recover
(except as otherwise provided herein), in addition to all other sums and relief,
its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred both at and in preparation for
arbitration, trial and any appeal or review, and also any proceedings in
bankruptcy court, such amounts to be set by the arbitrator(s) or court(s) before
which the matter is heard.

          15.  TRADEMARKS.    All names, designations and designs by which
Supplier's products are known or identified are herein referred to as
"Trademarks."  Distributor is granted a limited license to use the Trademarks
applicable to the products sold hereunder solely for the purpose of marketing
such products, subject to the following limitations:  (a)  this license is non-
transferable and terminates automatically upon termination of this Agreement;
(b)  Distributor may not sublicense others; (c) the Trademarks shall be used
only as pre-approved by Supplier, in writing; (d) no Trademark shall be used in 
combination with any name, mark, slogan or other designation of Distributor or
any third party; and (e) the Trademarks shall be used in the company of the
appropriate designation symbol and shall be attributed to Supplier.  Distributor
acknowledges that the public associates the Trademarks with Supplier's goods. 
Distributor shall have no rights regarding the Trademarks except the license
hereby granted, and waives any claim against Supplier's rights in the
Trademarks.

          16.  EFFECTIVE DATE.     This Agreement shall be effective on the 8TH
day of APRIL, 1996.

          A.   Seller is doing business at the corner of NW 14th and Flanders
Streets in Portland, Oregon under the name Bogart's.  For the conduct of such
business, Seller leases premises owned by Johnnie Johnson ("Landlord") pursuant

          A.   In the conduct of its business, Seller uses various items of
inventory and personal property, including the kitchen equipment which is
described on Exhibit "B" attached hereto ("Kitchen Equipment").  PBC is
acquiring the Kitchen Equipment, but none of the other personal property of
Seller and none of the inventory of Seller.

          B.   Seller desires to convey its interest in the Lease and to convey
the Kitchen Equipment to PBC, and PBC desires to acquire the same on the terms

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

deposit, to be credited against the purchase price at closing, PBC shall pay to
Seller upon mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sum of $1,000.

          1.3  PAYMENT.  The purchase price shall be paid by payment of $20,000
in cash at closing (the $1,000 deposit shall be credited against the cash down
payment).  The balance of the purchase price shall be paid by execution and
delivery of a promissory note at closing which requires payment of $45,000,
together with interest thereon at the rate of 8 percent per annum, within 90
days of closing.

          1.4  ALLOCATION.  The total purchase price of $65,000 shall be

consideration for assignment of the lessee's interest in the Lease.

          1.5  LIABILITIES.  PBC is not assuming any of the liabilities of
Seller.  

          2.   CLOSING AND CONVEYANCE.

          2.1  CLOSING.  Closing of this transaction shall be conducted at
Transamerica Title Insurance Company at its downtown Portland offices on a date
selected by PBC, which date shall be no earlier than April 15, 1996 and no later
than April 30, 1996.  The costs of the closing, such as the escrow fee, shall be
shared equally by the parties.  All items of income and expense with respect to
the Lease shall be prorated, through escrow, at such closing.  Any security
deposit maintained by the Landlord under the Lease shall be reimbursed by PBC to
Seller at closing.

          2.2  CONVEYANCE.  At closing, Seller shall execute and deliver to PBC
(a) a warranty bill of sale conveying the Kitchen Equipment to PBC, and (b) a
warranty assignment of the lessee's interest in the Lease (including an
assignment of any security deposit reimbursed by PBC) with the written consent
of the Landlord.

<PAGE>

          2.3  TITLE INSURANCE.  If desired, PBC shall have the right to acquire
title insurance regarding the lessee's interest in the Lease; if PBC is unable
to obtain such title insurance, PBC shall have the right to terminate this
transaction and receive a refund of its deposit.

          3.   CONDITIONS.  The following are conditions to the obligations of
PBC hereunder.  In the event of a failure of any of the following conditions,
PBC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to
Seller prior to closing, in which event the deposit shall be returned to PBC.

          3.1  PERFORMANCE.  Seller must perform all of its obligations
hereunder and the warranties of the Seller hereunder must be accurate.

          3.2  DOCUMENTS.  No later than February 15, 1996, Seller and PBC must
have agreed upon the exact form of the promissory note, bill of sale, and
assignment of leases to be executed at closing.  Such documents shall be
prepared by PBC, subject to the reasonable review and approval of Seller.

          3.3  INSPECTION.  PBC shall have the right to inspect the leased
premises and the Kitchen Equipment and for this purpose shall have access to the
leased premises; Seller also gives PBC authorization to meet with and to
negotiate with the Landlord under the Lease.  In the event PBC determines that
the Kitchen Equipment, the leased premises, or the Lease are not satisfactory to
PBC, in its discretion, PBC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
written notice.

          3.4  APPROVALS.  PBC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
by written notice in the event PBC does not obtain all necessary regulatory
approvals in connection with its intended use of the leased premises, including
any and all approvals required from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and/or
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

          3.5  BOARD APPROVAL.  PBC shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement in the event its Board of Directors does not approve this transaction
and this Agreement.

          3.6  SEARCHES.  PBC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
if PBC is not satisfied with the results of UCC searches, a preliminary title
report regarding the leased premises, and its negotiations with the Landlord. 
Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, PBC intends to obtain an
estoppel certificate from the Landlord under the Lease, a lease memorandum for
recording, and an amendment to the Lease to restate the Lease, to include the
adjoining premises already occupied by PBC, and to render the term and other
provisions of the Lease acceptable to PBC.  In the event such estoppel
certificate, lease memorandum, and Lease amendment are not delivered by
Landlord, or in the event any such documents are not in form acceptable to PBC,
PBC may terminate this Agreement.

          4.   COVENANTS OF SELLER.  Seller shall maintain the Kitchen Equipment
and leased premises in their current condition and repair, making all necessary
repairs and replacements.  Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the
Lease and shall keep the same free from default.  Seller shall pay all creditors
(including the Internal Revenue Service and the Oregon Department of Revenue) in
full for all debts related to its operations conducted at the leased premises.

          5.   REPRESENTATIONS.  Seller makes the following warranties and
representations to PBC, as of the date of this Agreement and as of closing.

          5.1  KITCHEN EQUIPMENT.  Seller owns the Kitchen Equipment and no item
of the same is owned by Landlord, a leasing company, or any third party.  Title
to the Kitchen Equipment is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances
whatsoever.  The Kitchen Equipment is in good operating condition and repair.

          5.2  LEASE.  Attached hereto is a true copy of the Lease; the Lease
has not been amended and no right of Seller under the Lease has been waived,
except as set forth in writing attached hereto.  The Lease is free from default,
and no act, event, omission, or condition has occurred or exists which, together
with notice and/or the passage of 


<PAGE>

time, would constitute a default under the Lease.  Seller is the owner and 
holder of the entire lessee's interest in the Lease, and such lessee's 
interest is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances whatsoever.  
Landlord is the owner of the leased premises and of the lessor's interest in 
the Lease.  The Lease is a valid lease of the leased premises, enforceable 
according to its terms.

          5.3  NO OTHER CONTRACTS.  In the event PBC acquires the lessee's
interest in the Lease, there will be no other contracts binding upon PBC in the
conduct of its operations at the premises following closing.  Neither the
execution nor performance of this Agreement by Seller is in conflict with or
will be a breach under any contract binding upon Seller for the Kitchen
Equipment.

          5.4  NOTICES.  Seller has not received notice from any governmental
authority of any violation of law or code at the leased premises.

          6.   INDEMNIFICATION.  Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold PBC
harmless from any claim or cause of action (and all associated costs and
attorney fees) arising out of or related to (a) any act, event, omission, or
occurrence at the leased premises occurring or existing prior to closing, (b)
any breach of this Agreement by Seller, including the breach of any warranty or
representation, and/or (c) nonpayment by Seller of any of its creditors.

          7.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

          7.1  DEPOSIT.  In the event PBC fails to close this transaction and
such failure is a default, then the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller for such
default shall be the right of Seller to retain the deposit as liquidated
damages.  Seller and PBC agree that the exact amount of damages which Seller
would suffer from such a default would be difficult or impossible to ascertain
and to prove with certainty and that $1,000 is a good faith estimate of such
damages.  The acceptance of the deposit as liquidated damages is the exclusive
remedy of the Seller, and the Seller hereby waives all other remedies.

          7.2  FEES.  In the event of litigation with respect to this Agreement,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other sums
and relief, its reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred at and in
preparation for arbitration and any trial, appeal, or review.  This provision
shall cover all litigation, including claims for rescission and any litigation
or other proceedings in Bankruptcy Court.

          7.3  INTERPRETATION.  The provisions of this Agreement (including, but
not limited to, the representations of Seller, the indemnity obligations of
Seller, and the attorney fees provisions) shall survive closing and shall remain
fully enforceable thereafter.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and
supersedes all prior negotiations and writings.  This Agreement may be amended
only by a written amendment signed by both Seller and PBC.  This Agreement shall
be binding upon and shall benefit the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the date
and year first above written.

architect whom the lessor 

<PAGE>

thereof, are being overloaded so as to cause any undue or serious stress or 
strain on the building, or any part thereof, and the decision of the engineer 
or architect shall be final and binding upon the lessee; and in the event 
that it is the opinion of the engineer or architect that the stress or strain 
is such as to endanger or injure the building, or any part thereof, then and 
in that event the lessee agrees immediately to relieve the stress or strain, 
either by reinforcing the building or by lightening the load which causes 
such stress or strain, in a manner satisfactory to the lessor.

premises, or allow signs or devices of any kind to be attached thereto or
suspended therefrom, for advertising or displaying the name or business of the

lessee's name and business when the workmanship of such signs shall be of good

belongings upon the premises, of whatsoever nature, against the same.  With
respect to these policies, lessee shall cause the lessor to be named as an
additional insured party.  Lessee agrees to and shall indemnify and hold lessor
harmless against any and all claims and demands arising from the negligence of
the lessee, lessee's officers, agents, invitees and /or employees, as well as

or other casualty, either party hereto may terminate this lease as of the date
of fire or casualty, provided, however, that in the event of damage to the
improvements by fire or other casualty to the extent of 40 per cent or more of
the sound value thereof, the lessor may or may  not elect to repair the same;
written notice of lessor's election shall be given lessee within fifteen days
after the occurrence of the damage; if notice is not so given, lessor
conclusively shall be deemed to have elected  not to repair; in the event lessor
elects not to repair, then and in that event this lease shall terminate with the
date of the damage; but if the improvements in which the premises are located be
but partially destroyed and the damage so occasioned shall not amount to the
extent indicated above, or if greater than said extent and lessor elects to
repair, as aforesaid, then the lessor shall repair the same with all convenient
speed and shall have the right to take possession of and occupy, to the
exclusion of the lessee, all or any part thereof in order to make the necessary
repairs, and the lessee hereby agrees to vacate upon request, all or any  part
thereof which the lessor may require for the purpose of making necessary
repairs, and for the period of time between the day of such damage and until
such repairs have been substantially completed there shall be such an abatement
of rent as the nature of the injury or damage and its interference with the
occupancy of the premises by the lessee shall warrant; however, if the premises
be but slightly 

<PAGE>

injured and the damage so occasioned shall not cause any material 
interference with the occupation of the premises by lessee, then there shall 
be no abatement of rent and the lessor shall repair the damage with all 
convenient speed.

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS  (15) Neither the lessor nor the lessee shall be
liable to the other for loss arising out of damage to or destruction of the
premises, or the building or improvement of which the premises are a part or
with which they are connected, or the contents of any thereof, when such loss is
caused by any of the perils which are or could be included within or insured
against by a standard form of fire insurance with extended coverage, including
sprinkler leakage insurance, if any.  All such claims for any and all loss,
however caused, hereby are waived.  Such absence of liability shall exist
whether or not the damage or destruction is caused by the negligence of either
lessor or lessee or by any of their respective agents, servants or employees. 
It is the intention and agreement of the lessor and the lessee that the rentals
reserved by this lease have been fixed in contemplation that both parties shall
fully provide their own insurance protection at their own expense, and that both
parties shall look to their respective insurance carriers for reimbursement of
any such loss, and further, that the insurance carriers involved shall not be
entitled to subrogation under any circumstances against any party to this lease.

other's insurance policy or policies, or the proceeds thereof, unless
specifically covered therein as a joint assured.

any part of the condemnation award or purchase price.

term or upon any sooner termination thereof, the lessee will quit and deliver up

or (2) if the lessee shall fail or neglect to perform or observe any of the
covenants and agreements contained herein on lessee's part to be done, kept,
performed and observed and such default shall continue for ten days or more
after written notice of such failure or neglect shall be given to lessee, or (3)
if the lessee shall be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or (4)
if any assignment of lessee's property shall be made for the benefit o
creditors, or (5) if on the expiration of this lease lessee fails to surrender
possession of the premises, the lessor or those having lessor's estate in the

premises and every part thereof and repossess the same, and expel lessee and

<PAGE>

lessee's effects at lessee's expense, forcibly if necessary and store the 
same, all without being deemed guilty of trespass and without prejudice to 
any remedy which otherwise might be used for arrears of rent or preceding 
breach of covenant.

     Neither the termination of this lease by forfeiture nor the taking or
recovery of possession of the premises shall deprive lessor of any other action,
right, or remedy against lessee for possession, rent or damages, nor shall any
omission by lessor to enforce any forfeiture, right or remedy to which lessor
may be entitled be deemed a waiver by lessor of the right to enforce the
performance of all terms and conditions of this lease by lessee.

     In the event of any re-entry by lessor, lessor may lease or relet the
premises in whole or in part to any tenant or tenants who may be satisfactory to
lessor, for any duration, and for the best rent, terms and conditions as lessor 
may reasonably obtain.  Lessor shall apply the rent received from any such
tenant first to the cost of retaking and reletting the premises, including
remodeling required to obtain any such tenant, and then to any arrears of rent
and future rent payable under this lease and any other damages to which lessor
may be entitled hereunder.

     Any property which lessee leaves on the premises after abandonment or
expiration of the lease, or for more than ten days after any termination of the
lease by landlord, shall be deemed to have been abandoned, and lessor may remove
and sell the property at public or private sale as lessor sees fit, without
being liable for any prosecution therefor or for damages by reason thereof, and
the net proceeds of any such sale shall be applied toward the expenses of
landlord and rent as aforesaid, and the balance of such amounts, if any, shall
be held for and paid to the lessee.

HOLDING OVER   In the event the lessee for any reason shall hold over after the
expiration of this lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to operate as a
renewal or extension of this lease, but shall only create a tenancy from month
to month which may be terminated at will at any time by the lessor.

ATTORNEY FEES AND COURT COSTS      In case suit or action is instituted to
enforce compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this lease,
or to collect the rental which may become due hereunder, or any portion thereof,
the losing party agrees to pay the prevailing party's reasonable attorney fees
incurred throughout such proceeding, including at trial, on appeal, and for
post-judgment collection.  The lessee agrees to pay and discharge all lessor's
costs and expenses, including lessor's reasonable attorney's fees that shall
arise from enforcing any provision or covenants of this lease even though no
suit or action is instituted.

WAIVER    Any waiver by the lessor of any breach of any covenant herein
contained to be kept and performed by the lessee shall not be deemed or
considered as a continuing waiver, and shall not operate to bar or prevent the
lessor from declaring a forfeiture for any succeeding breach, either of the same
condition or covenant or otherwise.

NOTICES   Any notice required by the terms of this lease to be given by one
party hereto to the other or desired so to be given, shall be sufficient if in
writing, contained in a sealed envelope, and sent first class mail, with postage
fully prepaid, and if intended for the lessor herein, then if addressed to the
lessor at 30303 SE LUSTED ROAD, GRESHAM, OR 97080 and if intended for the

imposed upon either of the parties hereto shall extend to, inure to the benefit
of and bind, as the circumstances may require, the heirs, successors, personal
representatives and so far as this lease is assignable by the terms hereof, to
the assigns of such parties.
     In construing this lease, it is understood that the lessor or the lessee
may be more than one person; that if the context so requires, the singular
pronoun shall be taken to mean and include the plural, and that generally all
grammatical changes shall be made, assumed and implied to make the provisions
hereof apply equally to corporations and to individuals.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this lease on the day and
year first herein above written, any corporation signature being by authority of
its Board of Directors.
