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 Borrower or any Grantor under this
Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material
respect at the time made or furnished, or becomes false or misleading at
any time thereafter.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any Security
Agreement to create a valid and perfected Security Interest) at any time
and for any reason.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver
for any part of 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 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 Borrower, any creditor
of any Grantor against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, or by any
governmental agency. This includes a garnishment, attachment, or levy on or
of any of Borrower's deposit accounts with Lender. However, this Event of
Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower or
Grantor, as the case may be, as to the validity or reasonableness of the
claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, and if
Borrower or Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and furnishes reserves or a surety bond for the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding satisfactory to Lender.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness
immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to
Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described
in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and
not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and
remedies 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 Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a
default and to exercise its rights and 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 Oregon. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon
Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Washington
County, the State of Oregon. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon.
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.
Multiple Parties; Corporate Authority. All obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement shall be joint and several, and all references to Borrower
shall mean each and every Borrower. This means that each of the persons
signing below is responsible for all obligations in this Agreement.
Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to Lender's
sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation
interests in the Loans to one or more purchasers, whether related or
unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever,
to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or
knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating
to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have
with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all
notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any
repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the
purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the
absolute owners of such interests in the Loans and will have all the rights
granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale
of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of
offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or
against any purchaser of such a participation interest and unconditionally
agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower's
obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any
holder of any interest in the Loans. Borrower further agrees that the
purchaser of any such participation interests may enforce its interests
irrespective of any personal claims or defenses that Borrower may have
against Lender.
Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all of Lender's
expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and
collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant
to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help collect the Loans
and to enforce this Agreement, and Borrower will pay 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 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.
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, notice to any Borrower will constitute
notice to all Borrowers. For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender
informed at all times of Borrower'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.
Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Borrower. Under no circumstances shall this
Agreement be construed to require Lender to make any Loan or other
financial accommodation to any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower.
Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements contained by or on
behalf of Borrower shall bind its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. Borrower shall not,
however, have the right to assign its rights under this Agreement or any
interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender.
Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower
in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by
Borrower to Lender under this Agreement shall be considered to have been
relied upon by Lender and will survive the making of the Loan and delivery
to Lender of the Related Documents, regardless of any investigation made by
Lender or on Lender's behalf.
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 Borrower, or between Lender and any
Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any
obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor 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 in subsequent instances where such consent is required,
and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole
discretion of Lender.

EXHIBIT "A"
This Exhibit is attached to and by this reference is made a part of each
Business Loan Agreement dated August 16, 1999, and executed in connection with a
loan or other financial accommodations between Washington Mutual Bank doing
business as Western Bank and Portland Brewing Company.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. Lender shall not have a security interest in, nor shall Lender
set off against amounts due hereunder, the sums in any account of Borrower
maintained with Lender.
DEFAULT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower will not be in default as
provided above unless and until (a) Lender gives to Borrower written notice of
the alleged default specifying that the default be cured within the time allowed
by this Business Loan Agreement, and (b) Borrower fails to cure the alleged
default within such time period. With respect to a failure to make a payment
hereunder, the amount of time allowed for cure shall be ten days following such
written notice from Lender. With respect to any other default, the amount of
time allowed for cure shall be 30 days following written notice of default;
provided, however, in the event a default reasonably requires more than 30 days
for cure, Borrower shall not be deemed in default so long as Borrower commences
cure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues cure to
completion.
ADDITIONAL SECURED PARTY. As previously disclosed to Lender, MacTarnahan Limited
Partnership holds a security interest in certain assets of Borrower, including,
but not limited to, a junior security interest in accounts receivable and
inventory. The security interest of MacTarnahan Limited Partnership, and any
assignment of that security interest, is a "Permitted Lien" and shall not be a
default under this Business Loan Agreement.
