                       SENIOR SUBORDINATED LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS SENIOR SUBORDINATED LOAN AGREEMENT (the "AGREEMENT") is entered into as of
the 23rd day of January, 2003, by and among California Beach Restaurants, Inc.,
a California corporation (the "COMPANY") and the party listed on the signature
page hereto (the "LENDER").

         In consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the
Company and the Lender agree as follows:

1.       LOAN.

         1.1      Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, and in
                  reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements
                  contained herein, on the date hereof the Lender shall advance
                  amounts (the "LOAN") to the Company in an amount equal to
                  $500,000. The Loan made by the Lender shall be evidenced by a
                  Promissory Note made by the Company to the Lender,
                  substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A (the "NOTE").

         1.2      It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Loan be senior
                  to the rights and claims of the Company's 5% Convertible
                  Subordinated Notes Due October 1, 2003 (the "JUNIOR NOTES").

         1.3      INTEREST. Interest on the Loan shall be payable on the
                  outstanding daily unpaid principal amount until payment in
                  full at the rates set forth herein, to the extent permitted by
                  applicable laws, before and after default, before and after
                  maturity, before and after any judgment and before and after
                  the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
                  (as hereinafter defined), with interest on overdue interest to
                  bear interest at the Default Rate (as hereinafter defined).
                  Interest shall accrue on the Loan at the rate of fifteen
                  percent (15%) per annum, and shall be due and payable in cash
                  on March 5, 2003. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
                  installment of principal or interest under the Note or any
                  other amount payable to the Lender hereunder is not paid when
                  due, or upon and during the continuance of an Event of
                  Default, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall
                  bear interest at seventeen percent (17%) per annum (the
                  "DEFAULT RATE") to the extent permitted by applicable law,
                  until paid in full.

         1.4      MATURITY; PREPAYMENT. If not sooner paid, the principal amount
                  of the Loan shall be paid in immediately available funds in
                  cash on March 5, 2003 (the "MATURITY DATE"). The Note may be
                  voluntarily prepaid at any time at the election of the
                  Company; PROVIDED, that (i) any partial prepayment shall be in
                  an amount not less than $25,000 in the aggregate and (ii) each
                  prepayment shall be accompanied by a prepayment of interest
                  accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal
                  paid. The Company shall provide the Lender a notice setting
                  forth (a) the effective date of such prepayment, (b) the
                  amount of principal to be prepaid, (c) the amount of principal
                  outstanding following such prepayment, and (d) the amount of

         1.5      COMPUTATIONS; OTHER PAYMENT PROVISIONS. All computations of
                  interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year
                  of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. If
                  any payment to be made by the Company shall come due on a day
                  other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next
                  succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be
                  reflected in computing interest. The amount of each payment
                  hereunder and under the Note shall be made to the Lender in
                  lawful money of the United States, without deduction, offset
                  or counterclaim and in immediately available funds on the day
                  of payment (which much be a Business Day). All payments of
                  principal received after 1:00 p.m., California time, on any
                  Business Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
                  Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All
                  payments made under this Agreement and the Note shall be made
                  free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any
                  tax, assessment or other charge imposed by any governmental
                  entity or authority. The Lender shall keep a record of
                  advances made by it hereunder and payments of principal with
                  respect to the Note, and such record shall be presumptive
                  evidence of the principal amount owing under the Note;
                  PROVIDED, that failure to keep such record shall in no way
                  affect the obligation of the Company to pay all principal
                  amounts advanced hereunder, and interest thereon, as set forth
                  herein.

         1.6      SUBORDINATION. The payment of the principal of, and interest
                  on, the Loan or the Note and any amendments or replacements
                  thereof and any other security interest, lien, claim or right
                  now or hereafter asserted by the Lender with respect to the
                  indebtedness of the Company to the Lender created hereunder,
                  shall be subject, junior and subordinate, in all respects, to
                  the prior payment in full of Senior Debt (as hereinafter
                  defined) of the Company, and to any security interest, lien,
                  claim or right now or hereafter asserted by Senior Debtholders
                  (as hereinafter defined) or their successors and assigns with
                  respect to such Senior Debt or with respect to any collateral
                  therefor. The Lender further agrees that upon the occurrence
                  of a default or event of default (as such terms are defined in
                  the Senior Debt Documents (a "SENIOR DEBT DEFAULT") and
                  without notice of such Senior Debt Default to the Lender, (x)
                  the Senior Debtholders, or their respective successors or
                  assigns, are entitled to be paid all Senior Debt before the
                  Lender is entitled to receive any payments in respect of this
                  Agreement or the Note, (y) the Company may not make any
                  payments to the Lender or with respect to this Agreement or
                  the Note until such payment of all outstanding Senior Debt to
                  the Senior Debtholders has been made in full in cash and (z)
                  for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days
                  following such Senior Debt Default the Lender may not pursue
                  any enforcement action against the Company. Any payments made
                  to the Lender in violation of this Section 1.7 shall be held
                  in trust for the benefit of the Senior Debtholders (or their
                  respective successors or assigns) and turned over upon the
                  demand of the Senior Debtholders. Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, in the absence of a Senior Debt Default, the
                  Company shall be permitted to pay interest on and principal of

                  Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) is a corporation duly
                  organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
                  laws of the state of its incorporation and has the requisite
                  corporate power to carry on its business as it is now being

                  jurisdiction wherein the nature of its activities or its
                  properties owned or leased makes such qualification, licensing
                  or domestication necessary, except where the failure to so
                  qualify, be licensed, domesticated or in good standing would
                  not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its

                  to the Lender, if it has requested, complete and accurate

                  a consolidated basis, together with all amendments thereto.

                           reports, statements and documents with the SEC, all

                           The Company has delivered to the Lender true and
                           complete copies of the Company's (i) Annual Report on
                           Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2000,
                           2001 and 2002, (ii) Proxy Statements relating to all
                           meetings of the Company's shareholders (whether

                           all other forms, reports, statements and documents

                           the items referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) are
                           hereinafter referred to as the "COMPANY Reports"). As
                           of their respective dates, the Company Reports did
                           not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
                           or omit to state a material fact required to be
                           stated therein or necessary to make the statements
                           therein, in light of the circumstances under which
                           they were made, not misleading. The financial
                           statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries
                           included or incorporated by reference in the Company
                           Reports were prepared in accordance with generally
                           accepted accounting principles applied on a
                           consistent basis and present fairly the financial
                           position, results of operations and changes in
                           financial position of the Company and its
                           Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods
                           indicated, except that the unaudited interim
                           financial statements may not contain all of the
                           footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
                           principles and may be subject to year-end adjustment.

                  (b)      The Company has delivered to the Lender true and
                           complete copies of the Company's balance sheet as of
                           October 31, 2002 (the "INTERIM BALANCE Sheet"). The
                           Interim Balance Sheet was prepared in accordance with
                           (i) generally accepted accounting principles applied
                           on a consistent basis and (ii) the rules and
                           requirements of the SEC. The Interim Balance Sheet
                           presents fairly the consolidated financial position
                           of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of July 31,
                           2002. The total assets of the Company, as set forth
                           on the Interim Balance Sheet, equals or exceeds
                           $2,000,000. The Lender agrees to keep the Interim
                           Balance Sheet confidential.

                  its Subsidiaries ("LIABILITIES"). Since October 31, 2002,
                  neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred

                  adjudicative capacity which individually or in the aggregate,
                  if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

         2.8      LEASE/CONCESSION AGREEMENTS. All leases and concession
                  agreements pursuant to which the Company and each of its
                  Subsidiaries leases real property and improvements material to
                  the conduct of its business and operations (collectively, the
                  "LEASES") are in full force and effect and constitute legal,
                  valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto,
                  enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except
                  as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
                  reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in
                  effect relating to or limiting creditors' rights or by legal
                  principles of general applicability governing the availability
                  of equitable remedies. Neither the Company nor any of its
                  Subsidiaries has assigned its rights and interests under the
                  Leases. Except as set forth in the Company's 10-Q, nothing has
                  come to the attention of the Company which (whether with or
                  without notice, lapse of time or both) would constitute a
                  material breach or default by any party under the Leases.

         2.9      TAXES. All tax returns required to be filed by the Company and
                  its Subsidiaries have been duly and timely filed, and all
                  taxes, interest, penalties, assessments and/or deficiencies
                  shown to be due on such tax returns or for which the Company
                  has received tax notices have in all respects been paid or
                  adequate provision for the payment thereof has been made. The
                  Company and its Subsidiaries have no material tax deficiency
                  or claim outstanding, assessed or, to the best of knowledge of
                  the Company, proposed against the Company and its
                  Subsidiaries.

         2.10     LICENSES, PERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS. The Company and its
                  Subsidiaries have all approvals, licenses or other permits of
                  all governmental or regulatory agencies, whether federal,
                  state or local, the absence of which would materially impair
                  the operations of their businesses taken as a whole as they
                  are presently being conducted. Set forth on SCHEDULE 2.11
                  hereto is a list of all California Department of Alcoholic
                  Beverage Control licenses and permits issued to the Company

4.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

         4.1      DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The occurrence of any one or more of
                  the following shall constitute an event of default hereunder
                  ("EVENT OF DEFAULT"), whatever the reason therefor:

                  (a)      the Company fails to pay any installment of principal
                           on any of the Notes on the date when due;

                  (b)      the Company fails to pay any installment of interest
                           on any of the Notes within (30) days after the date
                           when due;

                  (c)      the Company fails to perform, observe or comply with
                           any term, covenant or agreement contained in this
                           Agreement or the Note;

                  (d)      any representation or warranty in this Agreement or
                           any document delivered by the Company pursuant to
                           this Agreement, shall fail to be true and correct in
                           all material respects; or

                  (e)      proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or
                           any law for the relief of debtors ("DEBTOR RELIEF
                           LAW") shall be instituted by or against the Company,
                           or any order, judgment or dissolution or division;
                           PROVIDED, HOWEVER, with respect to an involuntary
                           petition in bankruptcy, such petition shall not have
                           been dismissed within sixty (60) days after the
                           filing of such petition;

                                       11

then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the Lender
may, by notice in writing to the Company declare all amounts owing with respect
to this Agreement or the Note to be, and it shall thereupon forthwith become,
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company; PROVIDED
that in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) all such
amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any
requirement of notice from the Lender.

         4.2      REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of
                  Default, the Lender may proceed to protect, exercise, and
                  enforce its respective rights and remedies under this
                  Agreement and the Note and all rights available at law or in
                  equity.

         4.3      WAIVER OF DEFAULT. Any Event of Default waived in accordance
                  with Section 6.1 shall be deemed to have been cured and not to
                  be continuing; but no such waiver shall be deemed a continuing
                  waiver or shall extend to or affect any subsequent like
                  default or impair any rights arising therefrom.

5.       MISCELLANEOUS.

         5.1      AMENDMENT; WAIVERS. Any consent or approval required or
                  permitted by this Agreement to be given by the Lender may be
                  given, and any term of this Agreement may be amended, and the
                  performance or observance by the Company of any terms of this
                  Loan Agreement, or the continuance of any Event of Default may
                  be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and
                  either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with,
                  the written consent of the Company and the Lender.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or
                  waiver shall, without the written consent of the Lender (i)
                  reduce or forgive the principal amount of the Loan, or reduce
                  the rate or rates of interest on the Note; (ii) postpone or
                  extend the Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled
                  dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Loan,
                  or modify any of the provisions relating to amounts, timing or
                  application of payments or prepayments of the Loan (it being
                  understood that any vote to rescind any acceleration made
                  pursuant to Section 4.1 of amounts owing with respect to the
                  Loan shall require the approval of the Lender); (iii) amend or
                  waive any provision relating to the subordination of the
                  claims of the holders of the Junior Notes or any other
                  obligations subordinated to the Note; or (iv) amend or modify
                  the terms of the subordination of the Note to the claims of
                  the Senior Debtholders or agree to subordinate the Note to any
                  other obligations of the Company.

         5.2      SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Except as provided
                  hereinafter, all of the warranties and representations made by
                  the Company and the Lender in this Agreement or any document,
                  certificate, schedule or instrument delivered in connection
                  herewith shall survive the Closing and shall continue in
                  effect, notwithstanding any investigation by or on behalf of
                  the Lender.

         5.3      ENTIRE AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement and the Note (a)
                  constitute the entire agreement between the parties with
                  respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other
                  prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
                  among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject
                  matter hereof and (b) may be assigned, in whole or in part, by

         5.4      ENFORCEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT. The parties hereto agree that
                  irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
                  provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance
                  with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
                  accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an
                  injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this
                  Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
                  hereof in any federal or state court located in the State of
                  California (as to which the parties agree to submit to
                  jurisdiction for the purposes of such action), this being in
                  addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law
                  or in equity.

         5.5      FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Company shall, at its expense and
                  without expense to the Lender, do, execute and deliver such
                  further acts and documents as the Lender may from time to time
                  reasonably request for the assurance and confirming unto the
                  Lender the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter
                  so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating
                  the performance of the terms of this Agreement and the Note.

         5.6      VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
                  of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
                  enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement,
                  which shall remain in full force and effect.

         5.7      NOTICES. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other
                  communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be

                  may have previously furnished to the others in writing in the
                  manner set forth above.

         5.8      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
                  construed in accordance with the laws of the State of

                  under principles of conflicts of laws applicable thereto.
