which increased the number of available shares of Common Stock available for
Awards to 1,500,000;

WHEREAS, in November 1998, the Corporation effected a two- for-one stock split
and, pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan, the Board determined that in order to

of shares subject to each outstanding Award;

WHEREAS, on November 2, 1999, the Board adopted and the shareholders approved
the Second Amendment to the Plan which further increased the number of shares of

such issuance Four Million (4,000,000); and

WHEREAS, on July 24, 2000, the Board approved a one-for-two reverse split (the
"Reverse Split") of the Corporation's shares of Common Stock and an increase in
the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan by
another One Million (1,000,000) shares, thereby making the aggregate number of
shares reserved for such issuance, after giving effect to the Reverse Split, Two
Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000); and

WHEREAS, on July 24, 2000, a majority of the shareholders of the Corporation
ratified, confirmed and approved the Reverse Split and the increase in the

California Pizza Kitchen, Inc. (the "Corporation") 1998 Stock-Based Incentive
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") and is made with reference to the following facts
(all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Plan):

WHEREAS, on February 20, 2001, the Board adopted an amendment to the Plan,
subject to shareholder approval, to increase the number of shares of Common

NOW, THEREFORE, the terms of the Plan are amended as follows:

1. Amendments to the Plan.

(a) Subsection 5.1 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7, the total number of shares of
Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan shall be 3,500,000 shares.
After the Company becomes Publicly Traded, no individual may receive Awards with
respect to more than 600,000 shares of Common Stock in any year under the Plan.

(b) Section 6.2 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

Option Price

: The price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an
Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the Option
Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock on the date of grant (110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Option Price may be equal to or
greater than 85% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date
of grant to the extent any discount from Fair Market Value is expressly granted
in lieu of a reasonable amount of salary or cash bonus which would otherwise be
paid to an Employee, a Director or an Independent Contractor.

(c) Section 8 of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

The Plan shall become effective on February 5, 1998, subject to the Company's
shareholders approving the Plan within 12 months of the Board's adoption of the
Plan in accordance with Section 422 of the Code. The Plan shall remain in full
force and effect until the earlier of 10 years after the date of its adoption by
the Board, or the date it is terminated by the Board. The Board shall have the
power to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, subject to applicable
law and regulation; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made
unless the amendment is approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares of the Company's Common Stock represented and voting at a
duly noticed and held meeting at which a quorum is present, or by the written
consent of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, if such amendment would: (a) Expand the classes of persons to whom Awards
may be made under Section 3 of the Plan; (b) Increase the number of shares
authorized for grant under Section 5.1 of the Plan; or (c) Decrease the Option
Price of any outstanding Award other than pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 7 hereof.

Termination of the Plan pursuant to this Section 8 shall not affect Awards
outstanding under the Plan at the time of termination.

(d) Except as expressly amended herein, the Plan shall continue in full force
and effect in accordance with its terms.
