Borrower:   Golden Resorts, Inc.
P.O. Box 1198
Los Gatos, CA 95031
  Lender:   Cupertino National Bank & Trust
Cupertino Main Office
20230 Stevens Creek Blvd.
Cupertino, CA 95014-2244
Principal Amount:    $1,500,000.00   Initial Rate:    4.750%   Date of Note:    October 24, 2002

        PROMISE TO PAY.    Golden Resorts, Inc. ("Borrower") promises to pay to Cupertino National Bank & Trust ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($1,500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. 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 3, 2005. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning December 3, 2002, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges. 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 independent index which is the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition) (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 4.750%. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate equal to the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 4.750%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

        PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE.    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. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest charge of $250.00. Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any minimum interest charge, 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

1



obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Cupertino National Bank & Trust, Cupertino Main Office, 20230 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014-2244.

        LATE CHARGE.    If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.

        INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.    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, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 5.000 percentage points over the index.

        DEFAULT.    Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note:

            Payment Default.    Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note.

            Other Defaults.    Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

            Default in Favor of Third Parties.    Borrower or any Grantor 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.

            False Statements.    Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

            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 or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

2



            Insufficient Market Value of Securities.    Failure to satisfy Lender's requirement set forth in the Insufficient Market Value of Securities section of the Pledge Agreement.

            Events Affecting Guarantor.    Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to the Guarantor of any of the indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.

            Change in Ownership.    Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

            Adverse Change.    A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of this Note is impaired.

            Cure Provisions.    If any default, other than a default in payment or failure to satisfy Lender's requirement in the Insufficient Market Value of Securities section is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Note within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default, (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

        LENDER'S RIGHTS.    Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

        ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES.    Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower 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, expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

        LINE OF CREDIT.    This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by an authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed in writing. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with

3



the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower's accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender's internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

This will be the case whether or not the office or branch where Grantor obtained Grantor's loan knows about the Collateral or relies upon the Collateral as security.

            Collection of Collateral.    Lender at Lender's option may, but need not, collect the Income and Proceeds directly from the Obligors. Grantor authorizes and directs the Obligors, if Lender decides to collect the Income and Proceeds, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and Proceeds from 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 acquittance 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.

            Perfection of Security Interest.    Upon Lender's request, Grantor will deliver to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or constituting the Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method or perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the methods to be used. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will sign and deliver any writings necessary to perfect Lender's security interest. If any of the Collateral consists of investment property for which no certificate has been issued. Grantor agrees, at Lender's option, either to request issuance of an appropriate certificate or to execute appropriate instructions on Lender's forms instructing the Issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may be, to record on its books or records, by book-entry, initial transaction statement, registered pledge, or otherwise, Lender's

3



    security interest in the Collateral, Grantor hereby appoints Lender as Grantor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any documents necessary to perfect, amend, or to continue the security interest granted in this Agreement or to demand termination of filings of other secured parties. This is a continuing Security Agreement and will continue in effect even though all or any part of the Indebtedness is paid in full and even though for a period of time Grantor may not be indebted to Lender.

        LENDER'S EXPENDITURES.    If any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and other claims. At any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying 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 will 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 (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) 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. The 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 Default.

        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. In particular, but without limitation, 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, exchanges, alters, 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.

        DEFAULT.    Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

            Payment Default.    Grantor fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

            Other Defaults.    Grantor fails 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 to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Grantor.

            Default in Favor of Third Parties.    Should Grantor 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 Grantor's property or Grantor's or any Grantor's ability to repay the indebtedness 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 Grantor or on Grantor's behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

4



            Defective Collateralization.    This Agreement or any of the Related Documents ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral document to create a valid and perfected security interest (or lien) at any time and for any reason.

            Insolvency.    The dissolution or termination of Grantor's existence as a going business, the insolvency of Grantor, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Grantor'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.

            Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.    Commencement or foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor or Grantor or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Grantor's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply.

            If there is a good faith dispute of Grantor as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Grantor gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

            Insufficient Market Value of Securities. Stock: The Collateral to loan percentage falls below 60.00%, and as a result of the deterioration of the market value of the Collateral, Grantor does not, by the close of business on the next business day after Grantor has received notice from Lender of the deterioration, either (1) reduce the amount of the Indebtedness in this loan as required by Lender or (2) pledge or grant an additional security interest to increase the value of the Collateral as required by Lender.

            Events Affecting Guarantor.    Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

            Adverse Change.    A material adverse change occurs in Grantor's financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.

            Failure to Register.    Failure of the issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may be, to furnish a written statement to Lender recording Lender's security interest to the security, or the identification of any adverse claim that may interfere with Lender's security interest in the Collateral.

            Cure Provisions.    If any default, other than a default in payment or failure to satisfy Lender's requirement in the insufficient Market Value or Securities section is curable and if Grantor has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Grantor, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default; and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

5



        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 Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due and payable, without notice of any kind to 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 and other persons as required by law, notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time after when any private sale may be made. However, no notice need be provided to any person who, after an Event of Default occurs, enters into and authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of sale. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice as to Grantor is satisfied if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantor 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 Lender 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.

            Sell Securities.    Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws. If because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is unable, or believes Lender is unable, to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantor agrees that Lender will have no obligation to delay sale until the securities can be registered. Then Lender 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. Such a sale will 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 the rules of state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws, or if Grantor or any other owner of the Collateral is an affiliate of the issuer of the securities, Granter agrees that neither Grantor, nor any member of Grantor's family, nor any other person signing this Agreement will sell or dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's prior written consent.

            Rights and Remedies with Respect to Investment Property, Financial Assets and Related Collateral.    In addition to other rights and remedies granted under this Agreement and under applicable law, Lender may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies: (1) register with any issuer or broker or other securities intermediary any of the Collateral consisting of investment property or financial assets (collectively herein "investment property") in Lender's sole name or in the name of Lender's broker, agent or nominee; (2) cause any issuer, broker or other securities intermediary to deliver to Lender any of the Collateral consisting of securities, or investment property capable of being delivered; (3) enter into a control agreement or power of attorney with any issuer or securities intermediary with respect to any Collateral consisting of investment property, on such terms as Lender may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, including without limitation, an agreement granting to Lender any of the rights provided hereunder without further notice to or consent by Grantor; (4) execute any such control agreement on Grantor's behalf and in Grantor's name, and hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing such control agreement on Grantor's behalf; (5) exercise any and all rights of Lender under any such control agreement or

6



    power of attorney; (6) exercise any voting, conversion, registration, purchase, option, or other rights with respect to any Collateral; (7) collect, with or without legal action, and issue receipts concerning any notes, checks, drafts, remittances of distributions that are paid or payable with respect to any Collateral consisting of investment property. Any control agreement entered with respect to any investment property shall contain the following provisions, at Lender's discretion. Lender shall be authorized to instruct the issuer, broker or other securities intermediary to take or to refrain from taking such actions with respect to the investment property as Lender may instruct, without further notice to or consent by Grantor. Such actions may include without limitation the issuance of entitlement orders, account instructions, general trading or buy or sell orders, transfer and redemption orders, and stop loss orders. Lender shall be further entitled to instruct the issuer, broker or securities intermediary to sell or to liquidate any investment property, or to pay the cash surrender or account termination value with respect to any and all investment property, and to deliver all such payments and liquidation proceeds to Lender. Any such control agreement shall contain such authorizations as are necessary to place Lender in "control" of such investment collateral, as contemplated under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, and shall fully authorize Lender to issue "entitlement orders" concerning the transfer, redemption, liquidation or disposition of investment collateral, in conformance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

            Foreclosure.    Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the Collateral.

            Transfer Title.    Effect transfer of the title upon sale of all or part of the Collateral. For this purpose, Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and instruments in the name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one) as shall be necessary or reasonable.

            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's fees 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 Grantor to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear. Grantor agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness.

            Election of Remedies.    Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, 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 under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and exercise as 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

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 (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgement collection services. 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.

            Choice of Venue.    If there is a lawsuit, Grantor agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Santa Clara County, State of California.

            No Waiver by Lender.    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 or a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waver 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.

            Preference Payments.    Any monies Lender pays because of an assorted preference claim in Grantor's bankruptcy will become a part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, shall be payable by Grantor as provided in this Agreement.

            Notices.    Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be given in writing, and shall be effective when actually delivered, when actually received by telefacsimile (unless otherwise required by law), when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or, if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, as first class, certified or registered mail postage prepaid, directed to the addresses shown near the beginning of this Agreement. 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. For notice purposes, Grantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Grantor's current address. Unless otherwise provided or required by law, if there is more than one Grantor, any notice given by Lender to any Grantor is deemed to be notice given to all Grantors.

            Waiver of Co-Obligor's Rights.    If more than one person is obligated for the Indebtedness, Grantor irrevocably waives, disclaims and relinquishes all claims against such other person which Grantor 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.

8



            Severability.    If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any circumstance, that finding shall not make the offending provision illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted from this Agreement. Unless otherwise required by law, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement.

            Successors and Assigns.    Subject to any limitations stated in this Agreement on transfer of Grantor's interest, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person other than Grantor, Lender, without notice to Grantor, may deal with Grantor's successors with reference to this Agreement and the Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing Grantor from obligations of this Agreement or liability under the Indebtedness.

            Time is of the Essence.    Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement.

Dear Mr. Benard:

        We have been informed that Golden Resorts, Inc. is in the process of granting a security interest in 499,003 shares of common stock of Chicago Pizza & Brewery, Inc. representing Golden Resorts' allocable share of the shares of Chicago Pizza & Brewery common stock held beneficially and of record by BJ Chicago LLC.

Exhibit 8

Collateral Account Control Agreement

Instructions: Complete Boxes A, B, C and Names and Addresses and Sign Below

1. The Parties

        The Parties to this agreement ("Agreement") are the Client named below, the Creditor named below and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch").

2. The Pledged Account

Box A

        Client has granted Creditor a security interest in Merrill Lynch account 25E-07495 ("Account") pursuant to a separate Security Agreement between Client and Creditor.

        If the Account will be a new Merrill Lynch account, Client hereby instructs Merrill Lynch to transfer the assets listed in Exhibit A to the Account. The Account shall be maintained as a cash securities account, and will be titled "[Name of Client] Pledged Collateral Account for [Name of Creditor]."

        The purpose of this Agreement is to perfect the Creditor's security interest in the Account by granting Creditor control over the Account; however, this Agreement does not create Creditor's security interest in the Account inasmuch as Client and Creditor have a separate Security Agreement for that purpose.

        Client has not granted a security interest in the Account to any party other than Creditor, except for Merrill Lynch's broker lien referenced in section 7 and any lien for service fees to an Investment Manager or Agent named in Box B in section 4. Merrill Lynch has not entered into a Control Agreement with respect to the Account with any other party and agrees that it will not do so while this Agreement is in effect. The manager signing this Agreement on behalf of Merrill Lynch hereby represents, to the best of his or her knowledge, that no person other than Client, Creditor, Merrill Lynch and any Investment Manager or Agent named in Box B in section 4 have any claim, lien or interest in the Account or the assets in the Account.

        All assets in the Account will be treated as financial assets under Article B of the New York Uniform Commercial Code.

3. Excluded Assets

        Client and Creditor acknowledge that the following assets are not covered by this Agreement even if shown, for information purposes, on a periodic account statement for the Account, because Merrill Lynch is not the legal custodian of such assets; money market deposit account (MMDA) balances, shares of Mt. Ready Assets Trust, USA Government and USA Treasury money market funds and of the Merrill Lynch Institutional Funds, non-listed limited partnership interests, annuities and life insurance contracts, and precious metals. Merrill Lynch will not be responsible for assuring that any of these assets are not acquired with assets from the Account.

4. Client's Authority over the Account

        Until Creditor delivers to Merrill Lynch a Notice of Exclusive Control pursuant to section 8, Client will have full authority to give instructions with respect to assets in the Account in regard to voting and other rights, but will not have the authority to give any entitlement orders with respect to, or terminate the Account, without written consent by Creditor. Client's authority with respect to trading in the

Account and receipt of income from the Account will be governed by the completion of boxes B and C, which authority Creditor may revoke at any time by written notice delivered to Merrill Lynch.

        If yes, Client is authorized to receive all interest and regular cash dividends earned on assets in the Account monthly:

o by check
or
o by transfer to account no. 


        If an Investment Manager or Agent is named in Box B, Creditor agrees that the assets in the Account are subject to Client's agreement with such manager or agent and that periodic payment of normal advisory and service fees from assets in the Account pursuant to such an agreement is permitted without consent of Creditor.

5. Control by Creditor

        Merrill Lynch agrees to comply with any instructions it receives from Creditor at any time to transfer, sell, redeem, close open trades or otherwise liquidate any assets in the Account (including instructions to transfer assets directly to, or into an account in the name of, Creditor), without further consent by Client. All instructions to transfer assets from the Account must be in writing. If Creditor is an entity, Merrill Lynch is authorized to take instructions from any person Merrill Lynch reasonably believes represents Creditor.

6. Notice of Exclusive Control

        Creditor may at any time deliver to Merrill Lynch a "Notice of Exclusive Control" substantially in the form of Exhibit B. Upon receipt of such notice by the manager of the Merrill Lynch office servicing the Account, Merrill Lynch will cease complying with trading instructions from, or on behalf of, Client with respect to the Account, cease distributing to Client interest and regular cash dividends earned on assets in the Account, and refuse to accept any other instructions from Client intended to exercise any authority with respect to the Account except upon instruction of Creditor.

7. Priority of Creditor's Security Interest

        So long as this Agreement is in effect, Merrill Lynch subordinates in favor of Creditor any security interest, lien, or right of setoff it may have, now or in the future, against assets in the Account, except

2



Merrill Lynch may retain a prior lien on assets in the Account to secure payment for assets purchased for the Account and to collect normal commissions and service fees.

8. Duplicate Statements and Confirmations

        Merrill Lynch will send Creditor duplicate copies of periodic account statements and trade confirmations, if any, contemporaneously with those sent to Client.

9. Responsibility and Protection of Merrill Lynch

        Except for permitting a transfer of assets from the Account in violation of section 4, Merrill Lynch will not be liable to Creditor for complying with instructions from Client that are received by Merrill Lynch before Merrill Lynch receives a Notice of Exclusive Control in accordance with section 8. Merrill Lynch will not be liable to Client for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or any instructions received from any person Merrill Lynch reasonably believes represents Creditor. Merrill Lynch has no duty to investigate whether Creditor is authorized under the Security Agreement to give such Notice of Exclusive Control or such instructions.

        Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Merrill Lynch, its officers, directors, employees and agents, and any investment Manager or Agent named in Box B in section 4, against claims, liabilities and expenses arising out of maintenance of the Account pursuant to this Agreement (including reasonable attorney's fees), except if such claims, liabilities or expenses are caused solely by Merrill Lynch's or such manager's or agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, respectively.

        Creditor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Merrill Lynch, its officers, directors, employees and agents, and any Investment Manager or Agent named in Box B in section 4, against claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Merrill Lynch's compliance with any instructions from Creditor with respect to the Account except if such claims, liabilities or expenses are caused solely by Merrill Lynch's or such manager's or agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, respectively.

        This Agreement does not create any obligations for Merrill Lynch except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

10. Termination; Survival

        Creditor may terminate this agreement by written notice to Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch may terminate this agreement on thirty (30) days written notice to Creditor and Client. Upon notification by Creditor to Merrill Lynch that Creditor's security interest in the Account has terminated, this Agreement will automatically terminate. Section 9, "Responsibility and Protection of Merrill Lynch," will survive termination of this Agreement.

11. Effect of Agreement

        Client and Creditor agree that this Agreement supplements the applicable Merrill Lynch account agreement with respect to the Account, and any related agreement if the Account is a managed account under a Merrill Lynch advisory program with a manager named in Box B, and that it does not abridge any rights that Merrill Lynch might otherwise have, except as provided in section 7. If there is any inconsistency between this Agreement and such Merrill Lynch account agreements this Agreement will control. The Parties also acknowledge that there are no other understandings or agreements with Merrill Lynch concerning the Account except for this Agreement, the Merrill Lynch account agreements and any agreement with an Investment Manager or Agent named in Box B to which Merrill Lynch may be a party.

12. Governing law

        This Agreement and the Account will be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York with respect to interpretation and enforcement.

13. Amendments

        No Amendment of, or waiver of a right under, this Agreement will be binding unless it is in writing and signed by the party to be charged.

14. Severability

        To the extent a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, this Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable provision were omitted.

4



15. Successors and Assigns of Creditor

        A successor to or assignee of Creditor's rights and obligations under the Security Agreement between Creditor and Client will succeed to Creditor's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
