CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

     THIS CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated as of November 23, 2010 is entered
into by and among TEMPUS ACQUISITION, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”),
the financial institutions party hereto as Lenders (the “Lenders”) and Guggenheim Corporate
Funding, LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”).

     WHEREAS, the Borrower intends to purchase certain of the assets of Tempus Resorts
International, Ltd. and certain of its affiliates (the “Sellers”) pursuant to that certain
Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets, dated as of November 9, 2010 between the Borrower and
the Sellers (together with all addendums, exhibits and schedules thereto, as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, or as the same may be replaced with
such other definitive documentation reflecting the acquisition of the Sellers’ assets by the
Borrower, which amendment or replacement documentation has been approved by the Agent, the
“Purchase Agreement”; and the acquisition pursuant thereto, the “Acquisition”);

     WHEREAS, the Sellers currently plan to commence a case (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Case”)
under Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division (together with any
other court having jurisdiction over the Bankruptcy Case or any proceedings therein from time to
time, the “Bankruptcy Court”);

     WHEREAS, the Sellers have requested that the Borrower provide the Sellers
debtor-in-possession financing pursuant to the Financing Orders (as approved by the Agent, the
“DIP Financing”) and the Borrower is prepared to do so;

     WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lenders make available to Borrower a revolving loan
facility (the “Facility”) in a maximum principal amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the
“Facility Cap”), the proceeds of which shall be used by Borrower exclusively for the following
purposes: (i) to provide Borrower with funds to lend to the Sellers pursuant to the DIP Financing
for general working capital purposes and other lawful purposes as permitted under the agreements
governing the DIP Financing and in accordance with the Budget (the “DIP Uses”) and (ii) to provide
$1,500,000 for the “Deposit,” as defined and provided in the Purchase Agreement when such Deposit
is required to be made under the Purchase Agreement (the “Deposit Use”); and

     WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make the Facility available to Borrower upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, Borrower and Lenders
hereby agree as follows:

I. DEFINITIONS

     For purposes of this Agreement, in addition to the definitions above and elsewhere in this
Agreement, the terms listed in Appendix A hereto shall have the meanings given such terms
in

 

 

Appendix A, which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof. All capitalized terms used
which are not specifically defined (including, without limitation, Goods, Fixtures, General
Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Investment Property, Documents, Commercial Tort Claims, Instruments,
Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Proceeds and Supporting Obligations) shall have meanings
provided in Article 9 of the UCC in effect on the date hereof (or as amended and in effect from
time to time as approved by Lenders) to the extent the same are used or defined therein. Unless
otherwise specified herein or in Appendix A, any agreement or contract referred to herein
or in Appendix A shall mean such agreement as modified, amended or supplemented from time
to time. Unless otherwise specified, as used in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report,
instrument or other document made or delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, all
accounting terms not defined in Appendix A or elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the
meanings given to such terms in and shall be interpreted in accordance with GAAP.

II. ADVANCES, PAYMENT AND INTEREST

     2.1 The Facility

          Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lenders shall make available each Advance under
the Facility from time to time thereafter until the Maturity Date,
provided that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) the aggregate amount of all Advances at
any one time outstanding under the Facility that are applied to the DIP Uses shall not exceed the
amount the Sellers are permitted to borrow from Borrower at such time pursuant to the DIP Financing
in accordance with the Budget, (ii) the Advance for the Deposit Use may only be made in connection
with the contemporaneous payment by Borrower of the Deposit under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances at any one time outstanding under the
Facility may not exceed the Facility Cap. The Facility is a revolving credit facility, provided,
however, that the $1,500,000 advanced for the Deposit Use may not be reborrowed or relent if repaid
prior to the Maturity Date. Any determination as to whether there is availability for Advances
shall be made by Lenders in their sole discretion and is final and binding upon Borrower.

     2.2 The Advances; Maturity

          All Advances and all other outstanding Obligations under the Facility shall be immediately due
and payable in full in cash, if not earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the
Maturity Date.

     2.3 Interest on the Advances

          Interest on outstanding Advances under the Facility shall be payable monthly in arrears on the
first day of each calendar month at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%), calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in each interest
calculation period. Interest accrued on each Advance under the Facility shall be due and payable on
the first day of each calendar month commencing December 1, 2010, and continuing until the later of
the expiration of the Term and the full performance and irrevocable payment in full of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

initial Advance shall be made by the Lenders to Borrower in the aggregate amount of $800,000 on
November 24, 2010. The acceptance of such initial Advance shall be deemed a confirmation by
Borrower that each of its representations and warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement are
accurate, before and after giving effect to such Advance, and no Default or Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing or would exist after giving effect to the Advance under the Facility on
such date.

          (b) With respect to Advances other than the initial Advance described in Section
2.4(a) above, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Borrower may give the Agent irrevocable written notice requesting an Advance under the Facility by
delivering to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least five Business Days
(or such shorter period as the Agent may agree to in its discretion) prior to the proposed Business
Day on which such requested Advance is to be made (the “Borrowing Date”) specifying the amount of
the requested Advance. Advances under this Section 2.4(b) shall be in minimum amounts of
$100,000 and in integral multiples thereof.

     2.5 Promise to Pay; Manner of Payment

          Borrower absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay principal, interest and all other
amounts and Obligations payable hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, without any right of
rescission and without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any setoff,
counterclaim or recoupment, and notwithstanding any damage to, defects in or destruction of the
Collateral or any other event, including obsolescence of any property or improvements. All payments
made by Borrower, shall be made only by wire transfer on the date when due, without offset or
counterclaim, in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds to such account as may be indicated
in writing by the Agent to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment received after 2:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the date when due shall be deemed received on the following Business Day.
Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due or shall become due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be
made on, the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be
included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate then in effect during
such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

     2.6 Grant of Security Interest; Collateral

          (a) To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to
Lenders a continuing security interest in and Lien upon, and pledges to Lenders all of its rights,

“Collateral”).

          (b) As to all Collateral, including without limitation, all cash, cash equivalents,
Commercial Tort Claims and Real Property, the title to which is held by Borrower, or the
possession of which is held by Borrower in the form of a leasehold interest, Borrower

pledges and sets over unto the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders all of the right, title and
interest of Borrower in all of such Collateral, including without limitation, all cash, cash
equivalents, Commercial Tort Claims and owned Real Property and in all such leasehold interests,
together in each case with all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all
buildings, improvements, and fixtures related thereto, any lease or sublease thereof, all general
intangibles relating thereto and all proceeds thereof. Borrower agrees that the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders is authorized to file or record financing statements with respect to the
Collateral in such form and in such offices as Lenders reasonably determines appropriate to
further evidence the perfection of the security interests of Lenders under this Agreement and to
use the collateral description “all assets of the Debtor” in any such financing statements.

          (c) Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of any Commercial
Tort Claims in which it has an interest arising after the date of this Agreement and shall provide
all necessary information concerning each such Commercial Tort Claim, or upon any and all
Commercial Tort Claims upon request by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and make all
necessary filings with respect thereto to perfect Lenders’ security interest therein.

registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or is controlled by such an
“investment company.”

7

 

     5.2 Loan Documents

          The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (i) have been duly authorized
by all requisite action of Borrower and have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
Borrower; (ii) do not violate any provisions of (A) any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation,
ordinance or tariff, (B) any order of any Governmental Authority binding on Borrower or any of its
properties, or (C) the certificate of formation or operating agreement (or any other equivalent
governing agreement or document) of Borrower, or any agreement between Borrower and its members or
equity owners or among any such members or equity owners; (iii) are not in conflict with, and do
not result in a breach or default of or constitute an event of default, or an event, fact,
condition or circumstance which, with notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute or
result in a conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which Borrower is a party, or by which the properties or assets of Borrower are bound
the effect of which could reasonably be expected to be, have or result in a Material Adverse
Effect, (iv) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of any nature upon any of
the properties or assets of any such Person, and (v) do not require the consent, approval or
authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person. When executed and delivered, each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party

in accordance with its terms.

     5.3 Properties

          Borrower is the sole owner and has good, valid and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all of its properties and assets, including the Collateral, whether personal or real,

     5.4 Other Agreements

instrument, or subject to any restriction, which would adversely affect its ability to execute and
deliver, or perform under, any Loan Document or to pay the Obligations, (ii) in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any
agreement, document or instrument to which it is a party or to which any of its properties or
assets are subject and, if not remedied within any applicable grace or cure period would reasonably
be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any event, fact, condition or
circumstance which, with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute or result in a
conflict, breach, default or event of default under, any of the foregoing which, if not remedied
within any applicable grace or cure period would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect; or (iii) a party or subject to any agreement, document or instrument with respect to, or
obligation to pay any, management or service fee with respect to, the ownership, operation, leasing
or performance of its business.

     8.2 Remedies.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and in any such event,
notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, Lenders may, without notice or demand,
do any of the following: (i) terminate Lenders’ obligations to make Advances hereunder whereupon
the same shall immediately terminate and (ii) declare all Obligations to be due and payable
immediately in each case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

IX. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

     9.1 Rights and Remedies

          (a) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article VIII above, upon
the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lenders shall have the right to exercise
any and all rights, options and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, under the UCC, the
Bankruptcy Code or at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any
property of Borrower held by Lenders to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens created
under the Security Documents, (iii) realize upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral or
securities pledged with or without judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with
respect to the Collateral as Borrower might exercise, (v) collect and send notices regarding the
Collateral, with or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance,
enter any premises at which Collateral and/or pledged securities are located, or render any of the
foregoing unusable or dispose of the Collateral and/or pledged securities on such premises without
any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or
interfere with such action, (vii) at Borrower’s expense, require that all or any part of the
Collateral be assembled and made available to Agent at any place designated by Agent, (viii) reduce
or otherwise change the Facility Cap, and/or (ix) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or
securities pledged or any Lien thereon. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent,
in its sole discretion, shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, and from
time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the
extent required hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance of any of Obligations; (iii) discharge
taxes or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Loan Document unless Borrower
is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items; and (iv) pay
for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral. Such expenses and advances shall be added
to the Obligations until reimbursed to Lenders and shall be secured by the Collateral, and such
payments by Agent shall not be construed as a waiver by Lenders of any Event of Default or any
other rights or remedies of Lenders.

          (b) Borrower hereby grants to Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to Borrower) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now
owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, including in such
license reasonable access as to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or
stored and to all computer programs and used for the compilation or printout thereof, in each case
in connection with the exercise of Lenders’

20

 

remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. All proceeds received by Lenders in
connection with such license will be used by Lenders to satisfy the Obligations.

          (c) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article VIII above, upon
the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall take any action that Agent
may request in order to enable Agent to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to
Lenders hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and
continuation of any Event of Default, at the request of Agent and at Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, Borrower shall execute all documents and take all other actions requested by Agent to
enable Agent, its designee, any receiver, trustee or similar official or any purchaser of all or
any part of the Collateral to obtain from any Person any required authority necessary to operate
the business of Borrower.

     9.2 Application of Proceeds

          In addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lenders have under the Loan Documents,
the Bankruptcy Code, the UCC at law or in equity, all dividends, interest, rents, issues, profits,
fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting, holding, managing,
renting, selling, or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Collateral or any proceeds
thereof upon exercise of its remedies hereunder shall be applied in the following order of
priority: (i) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such collection, storage,
lease, holding, operation, management, sale, disposition or delivery and of conducting Borrower’s
business and of maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements of or
to the Collateral, and to the payment of all sums which Lenders may be required or may elect to
pay, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part
thereof, and all other payments and Advances that Lenders may be required or authorized to make
under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in each such case, in-house
documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and
filing fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the payment of all Obligations
as provided herein (iii) third, to the satisfaction of Indebtedness secured by any
subordinate security interest of record in the Collateral if written notification of demand
therefore is received before distribution of the proceeds is completed, provided, that, if
requested by Lenders, the holder of a subordinate security interest shall furnish reasonable proof
of its interest, and unless it does so, Lenders need not address its claims; and (iv)
fourth, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided
by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that Borrower shall be
liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or any of
the other items referred to in this section.

     9.3 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive

          As among the Lenders on one hand and Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the other hand, Lenders
shall have the right in their sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and/or remedies
Lenders may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not
in any way modify or affect any of Lender’s rights, Liens or remedies

21

 

under any Loan Document or applicable law. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan
Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Lenders described in any
Loan Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or
remedies which Lenders otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy
shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

X. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

     10.1 Waivers

          Except as expressly provided for herein, Borrower hereby waives setoff, counterclaim, demand,
presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and
demands of any description, and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any
demand under any Loan Document. Borrower hereby waives any and all defenses and counterclaims it
may have or could interpose in any action or procedure brought by Lenders to obtain an order of
court recognizing the assignment of, or Lien of Lenders, in and to, any Collateral. With respect to
any action hereunder, Lenders conclusively may rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Borrower
in acting upon, any request or other communication that Lenders reasonably believes to have been
given or made by a person authorized on Borrower’s behalf, whether or not such person is listed on
the incumbency certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof. In each such case,
Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Lender’s action based upon such request or other
communication, absent manifest error. In no event shall Lenders be liable on any theory of
liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of
profits, business or anticipated savings). Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue
upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not
accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

     10.2 Delay; No Waiver of Defaults

          No course of action or dealing, renewal, release or extension of any provision of any Loan
Document, or single or partial exercise of any such provision, or delay, failure or omission on
Lender’s part in enforcing any such provision shall affect the liability of Borrower or any
Guarantor or operate as a waiver of such provision or affect the liability of Borrower or any
Guarantor or preclude any other or further exercise of such provision. No waiver by any party to
any Loan Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the performance of any of the
provisions of any Loan Document shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default,
whether of a like or different nature, and each such waiver shall be limited solely to the express
terms and provisions of such waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, by
completing the Closing under this Agreement and/or by making Advances, Lenders waives no breach of
any representation or warranty under any Loan Document, and all of Lender’s claims and rights
resulting from any such breach or misrepresentation are specifically reserved.

22

 

     10.3 Jury Waiver

          EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
THEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE
PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

XI. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION

     11.1 Termination and Effective Date Thereof

          Subject to Lender’s right to terminate and cease Lender’s obligations to make Advances upon
or after any Event of Default, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the
full performance and indefeasible payment in cash of all Obligations. Notwithstanding any other
provision of any Loan Document, no termination of this Agreement shall affect Lender’s rights or
any of the Obligations existing as of the effective date of such termination, and the provisions
of the Loan Documents shall continue to be fully operative until the Obligations have been fully
performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full. The Liens granted to Lenders hereunder under the
other Security Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and
powers of Lenders, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the fact that
Borrower’s borrowings hereunder may from time to time be in a zero credit position until all of
the Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all
commitments to lend hereunder have terminated.

     11.2 Survival

          All obligations, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, waivers and indemnities
made by Borrower in any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, the Closing, the making of the Advances and any termination of this Agreement until all
Obligations are fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

XII. MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue

          The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York without giving effect to its choice of law provisions. Any judicial
proceeding against Borrower with respect to the Obligations, any Loan Document or any

23

 

related agreement must be brought any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in
the State of New York. By execution and delivery of each Loan Document to which it is a party,
Borrower (i) accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees
to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby, (ii) waives personal service of process, (iii) agrees
that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof, (iv) waives any objection to jurisdiction and
venue of any action instituted hereunder and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of
jurisdiction, venue or convenience, and (v) agrees that this loan was made in New York, that
Lenders has accepted in New York Loan Documents executed by Borrower and that Lenders has disbursed
Advances under the Loan Documents in New York. Nothing shall affect the right of Lenders to serve
process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lenders to bring proceedings
against Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction having jurisdiction. Any judicial
proceedings against Lenders involving, directly or indirectly, the Obligations, any Loan Document
or any related agreement shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the State of
New York. All parties acknowledge that they participated in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement and that, accordingly, no party shall move or petition a court construing this Agreement
to construe it more stringently against one party than against any other.

     12.2 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders

     The Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of Lenders Transferees and all future holders
of the Loan, any Note, the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral, and each of their respective
successors and assigns. Each Loan Document shall be binding upon the Persons’ other than Lenders
that are parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no such Person may
assign, delegate or transfer any Loan Document or any of its rights or obligations thereunder
without the prior written consent of Lenders. No rights are intended to be created under any Loan
Document for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or incidental beneficiary of any
Borrower or Guarantor. Nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as a delegation
to Lenders of any other Person’s duty of performance. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
LENDERS AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME MAY (I) DIVIDE AND RESTATE ANY NOTE, AND/OR (II) SELL,
ASSIGN OR GRANT PARTICIPATING INTERESTS IN OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF LENDER’S RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, LOANS, ANY NOTE AND/OR THE OBLIGATIONS TO OTHER PERSONS (EACH
SUCH TRANSFEREE, ASSIGNEE OR PURCHASER, A “TRANSFEREE”). Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer
any interest in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, or any
portion thereof, including Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers, and duties
hereunder or thereunder.

     12.3 Application of Payments

          To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is
subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be
repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian, Committee or any other Person
under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the

24

 

Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if
such payment had not been received by Lenders. Any payments with respect to the Obligations
received shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as Lenders shall decide in its
sole discretion.

     12.4 Indemnity

          Borrower shall indemnify Lenders, and its Affiliates and its and their respective managers,
members, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants
and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel and in-house documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses) which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to or
arising out of, or in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any
Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any
matter related to, any Loan Document or any agreement, document or transaction contemplated
thereby, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, except to the extent that any
of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person. If any Indemnified Person uses in-house counsel for any purpose for which Borrower is
responsible to pay or indemnify, Borrower expressly agrees that its indemnification obligations
include the allocable costs of in-house counsel for the work performed. Lenders agrees to give
Borrower reasonable notice of any event of which Lenders becomes aware for which indemnification
may be required under this Section 12.4, and Lenders may elect (but is not obligated) to
direct the defense thereof, provided that the selection of counsel shall be subject to Borrower’s
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Person may,
in its reasonable discretion, take such actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to
investigate, defend or settle any event or take other remedial or corrective actions with respect
thereto as may be necessary for the protection of such Indemnified Person or the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any insurer agrees to undertake the defense of an event (an
“Insured Event”), Lenders agrees not to exercise its right to select counsel to defend the event if
that would cause Borrower’s insurer to deny coverage; provided, however, that each
Indemnified Person reserves the right to retain counsel to represent such Indemnified Person with
respect to an Insured Event at its sole cost and expense. To the extent that Lenders obtains
recovery from a third party other than an Indemnified Person of any of the amounts that Borrower
has paid to Lenders pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 12.4, then Lenders
shall promptly pay to Borrower the amount of such recovery.

     12.5 Notice

          Any notice or request under any Loan Document shall be given to any party to this Agreement at
such party’s address set forth beneath its signature on the signature page to this Agreement, or at
such other address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required
under this Section 12.5. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given only by, and shall
be deemed to have been received upon (each, a “Receipt”): (i) registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, on the date on which received as indicated in such return

25

 

receipt, (ii) delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after
deposit with such courier, or (iii) facsimile transmission, in each case upon telephone or further
electronic communication from the recipient acknowledging receipt (whether automatic or manual
from recipient), as applicable.

     12.6 Severability; Captions; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures

          If any provision of any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid under applicable laws or
regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without
affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the Loan Documents which shall be
given effect so far as possible. The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for convenience
and reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan Documents. The
Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts (which taken together, as applicable,
shall constitute one and the same instrument) and by facsimile transmission, which facsimile
signatures shall be considered original executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees
that it will be bound by its own facsimile signature and that it accepts the facsimile signature
of each other party.

     12.7 Expenses

          Borrower shall pay, whether or not the Closing occurs, all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Lenders and/or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, documentation and
diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees
and expenses and all other out-of-pocket charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC
and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment and
tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit expenses), and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, (i) in any effort to enforce, protect or collect payment of any Obligation or to enforce
any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, (ii) in connection with
entering into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing the Loan Documents and/or any
related agreements, documents or instruments, (iii) arising in any way out of administration of the
Obligations, the syndication or participation of the Loans or the taking or refraining from taking
by Lenders of any action requested by Borrower, (iv) in connection with instituting, maintaining,
preserving, enforcing and/or foreclosing on Lender’s Liens in any of the Collateral or securities
pledged under the Loan Documents, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (v) in
defending or prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Lender’s
transactions with Borrower, (vi) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to its
rights and obligations under any Loan Document and any related agreement, document or instrument,
and/or (vii) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or
extension of any Loan Document and/or any related agreement, document or instrument. All of the
foregoing shall be charged to Borrower’s account and shall be part of the Obligations. If Lenders
or any of their Affiliates use in-house counsel for any purpose under any Loan Document for which
Borrower is responsible to pay or indemnify, Borrower expressly agrees that its Obligations include
the allocable costs of in-house counsel for the work performed. Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon or measured by Lender’s net income or

26

 

revenues or any personal property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and
the filing and/or recording of any documents and/or financing statements.

     12.8 Entire Agreement

          This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party constitute the entire
agreement between Borrower and Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or
thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and
hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by Borrower and Lenders.
No provision of this Agreement may be changed, modified, amended, restated, waived, supplemented,
discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other
than by an agreement in writing signed by Lenders and Borrower. Each party hereto acknowledges that
it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement
and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and
provisions hereof. Each party hereto expressly disclaims reliance upon any facts, promises,
undertakings or representations, written or oral, made by any other party, or its agents,
representatives or attorneys prior to the execution of this Agreement.

     12.9 Approvals

          Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or
satisfaction of Lenders with respect to any matter that is subject of any Loan Document may be
granted or withheld by Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, use a Lender’s name (or the name of any of such Lender’s
Affiliates) in connection with any of its business operations, including without limitation,
advertising, marketing or press releases or such other similar purposes, without such Lender’s
prior written consent. Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize
Borrower or any of its Affiliates to contract on behalf of Lenders.

general description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents for advertising, marketing or
other similar purposes and (ii) use Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s name, logo or

similar purposes.

APPENDIX A

DEFINITIONS

          “Accounts” shall mean all “accounts” (as defined in the UCC) of Borrower (or, if
referring to another Person, of such other Person), including without limitation, accounts,
accounts receivables, monies due or to become due and obligations in any form (whether arising in
connection with contracts, contract rights, Instruments, General Intangibles or Chattel Paper), in
each case whether arising out of goods sold or services rendered or from any other transaction and
whether or not earned by performance, now or hereafter in existence, and all documents of title or

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

          THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the “Pledge Agreement”), dated as of November 23, 2010, is
entered into by and between Tempus Holdings, LLC (the “Pledgor”), and Guggenheim Corporate
Funding, LLC as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”) for itself and for the “Lenders” under
and as defined in the below described Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in such Credit
Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, Tempus Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pledgor, has entered into that certain Credit and Security
Agreement, dated as of November 23, 2010, by and among the Borrower, the financial institutions
from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and the Agent (as the same
may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, Diamond Resorts Corporation (“Diamond”), which owns 100% of the membership interests
of the Pledgor, has entered into a Guaranty of even date with respect to the Borrower’s obligations
under the Credit Agreement (the “Guaranty”);

          WHEREAS, the Agent and the Lenders have required, as a condition to the effectiveness of the
Credit Agreement, that the Pledgor execute and deliver this Pledge Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Pledgor, in conjunction with the Credit Agreement, is willing to grant a security
interest in and lien upon its equity interests in the Borrower to secure payment by Diamond under
the Guaranty and payment by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement;

          NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of any financial accommodations
or extensions of credit (including, without limitation, any loan or advance by renewal, refinancing
or extension of the agreements described hereinabove or otherwise) heretofore, now or hereafter
made to or for the benefit of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document executed pursuant to or in connection therewith, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Pledgor
and the Agent hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Pledge. The Pledgor hereby pledges to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and grants to the Agent for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, a security interest in, the membership interests of Pledgor
in the Borrower, which is a Delaware limited liability company, and any certificates representing
such membership interests in the Borrower, all of the right, title and interest of the Pledgor in,
to and under its interest as a member and all investment property in respect of such membership
interests, including, without limitation, Pledgor’s interest in (or allocation of) the profits,
losses, income, gains, deductions,

 

 

credits or similar items of the Borrower and the right to receive distributions of the Borrower’s
cash, other property, assets, and all options and warrants for the purchase of membership
interests, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising under the terms of the
certificates of formation, the limited liability company agreements or any of the other
organizational documents (such documents hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Operating
Agreements”) of the Borrower, or at law or in equity, or otherwise and any and all of the
proceeds thereof (all of said membership interests, certificates, and warrants being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Pledged Membership Interests”) herewith delivered to the
Agent, and all distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time
to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all
of the Pledged Membership Interests, and any additional membership interests in the Borrower above
from time to time acquired by the Pledgor in any manner, and any certificates, which shall be
delivered to the Agent, representing such additional membership interests or any additional
percentage interests, shares, units, options or warrants of membership interests in the Borrower
(any such additional interests shall constitute part of the Pledged Membership Interests, and all
options, warrants, distributions, investment property, cash, instruments and other rights and
options from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in
exchange for any or all of such interests, and the Pledgor shall promptly thereafter deliver to the
Agent a certificate duly executed by the Pledgor describing such percentage interests,
certificates, units, options or warrants and certifying that the same have been duly pledged
hereunder and any proceeds of any of the foregoing. All of the foregoing shall be referred to
herein collectively as the “Pledged Collateral”).

     Section 2. Security for Obligations.
The Pledged Collateral secures the prompt
payment, performance and observance of the Obligations and the “Liabilities” (as defined in the
Guaranty).

     Section 3. Pledged Collateral Adjustments.
If, during the term of this Pledge
Agreement:

     (a) Any reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or made in the capital
structure of the Borrower, or any option included within the Pledged Collateral is exercised, or
both, or

     (b) Any subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued in connection
with the Pledged Collateral, then all new, substituted and additional membership or certificates,
warrants, rights, options, investment property or other securities, issued by reason of any of the
foregoing, shall be immediately delivered to and held by the Agent under the terms of this Pledge
Agreement and shall constitute Pledged Collateral hereunder; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 3 shall be deemed to permit any distribution
issuance of additional membership interests or warrants, rights or options, reclassification,
readjustment or other change in the capital structure of the Borrower which is not expressly
permitted by the Credit Agreement.

2

 

     Section 4. Subsequent Changes Affecting
Pledged Collateral. The Pledgor represents and
warrants that it has made its own arrangements for keeping itself informed of changes or potential
changes affecting the Pledged Collateral (including, but not limited to, rights to convert, rights
to subscribe, payment of dividends, cash distributions or other distributions reorganization or
other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and the Pledgor agrees that neither the Agent
nor any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to inform the Pledgor of any such changes or
potential changes or to take any action or omit to take any action with respect thereto. The Agent
may, during the continuance of a Default, without notice and at its option, transfer or register
the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof into its or its nominee’s name with or without any
indication that such Pledged Collateral is subject to the security interest hereunder. In addition,
the Agent may during the continuance of a Default exchange certificates or instruments representing
or evidencing Pledged Membership Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger
denominations.

     Section 5. Representations and Warranties.
The Pledgor represents and warrants as
follows:

     (a) The Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding
membership interests of the Borrower;

     (b)
The Pledgor has full power and authority to enter into this Pledge
Agreement;

     (c) There are no restrictions upon the voting rights associated with, or upon the transfer of,
any of the Pledged Collateral;

     (d) The Pledgor has the right to vote, pledge and grant a security interest in or otherwise
transfer such Pledged Collateral free of any Liens;

     (e) The Pledgor owns the Pledged Collateral free and clear of any pledge, mortgage,
hypothecation, lien, charge, encumbrance or any security interest therein, except for the pledge
and security interest granted to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and any restrictions on
transfer contained in the Operating Agreements;

     (f) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral does not violate (1) Operating Agreements of the
Borrower or any indenture, mortgage, or credit agreement to which the Pledgor or the Borrower is a
party or by which any of their respective properties or assets may be bound; or (2) any restriction
on such transfer or encumbrance of such Pledged Collateral;

     (g) The Pledgor (1) shall cause the Borrower to execute the Acknowledgment attached hereto as
Exhibit A which together with the filing of a financing statement with respect to such
uncertificated interest or execution of a control agreement, in either case, according to the UCC
(as defined in the Security Agreement), shall create a valid and perfected first priority

3

 

security interest in such Pledged Collateral, in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Agent
and the Lenders, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations;

     (h) The Pledgor agrees that the Agent may file financing statements pursuant to the UCC
as the Agent may request to perfect the security interest granted hereby;

     (i) No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
any governmental authority or regulatory body that has not been obtained is required either (i) for
the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the execution,
delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by the Pledgor (except for the filing of financing
statements contemplated pursuant to Section 5(h) hereof) or (ii) for the exercise by the
Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies in
respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as may be required in
connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally);

     (j) Upon delivery of each of the certificates representing the Pledged Collateral, or,
as applicable, the filing of the financing statements pursuant to Section 5(h) hereof, the
pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement will create a valid and
perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral, in favor of the Agent for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, securing the payment and performance of the Obligations;

     Section 6. Voting Rights. During the
term of this Pledge Agreement, and
except as provided in this Section 6 below, the Pledgor shall have the right
to vote the Pledged Membership Interests on all governing questions in a manner not inconsistent
with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement and any other agreement, instrument
or document executed pursuant thereto or in connection therewith. During the continuation of a
Default, the Agent or the Agent’s nominee may, at the Agent’s or such nominee’s option and
following written notice from the Agent to the Pledgor, exercise all voting powers pertaining to
the Pledged Collateral all without liability except to account for property actually received by
it, but the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options
and shall not be responsible for any failure so to do or delay in so doing. Such authorization
shall constitute an irrevocable voting proxy from the Pledgor to the Agent or, at the Agent’s
option, to the Agent’s nominee.

4

 

     Section 7. Dividends and Other
Distributions.

     (a) So long as no Default shall have occurred and is continuing:

          (i) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, cash
distributions and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent such
distributions are not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, provided, however, that
any and all

     (A) distributions, dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash
with respect to, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise
distributed with respect to, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Collateral;

     (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash with respect to
any of the Pledged Collateral on account of a partial or total liquidation or
dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in
surplus; and

     (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed with respect to principal of, or
in redemption of, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Collateral;

shall be Pledged Collateral, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent to hold, for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the
Pledgor, be received in trust for the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders,
be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and be delivered immediately
to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement); and

          (ii) The Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the
Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling the Pledgor to receive the dividends or interest payments which it is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (i) above.

     (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default:

          (i) All rights of the Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and interest
payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section
7(a)(i) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, for
the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and
hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions and interest payments; and

          (ii) All dividends, distributions and interest payments which are received by the
Pledgor contrary to the provisions of clause (i) of this Section 7(b) shall be
received in trust for the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated
from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be paid over immediately to the Agent as Pledged
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements);

5

 

The Pledgor will reimburse the Agent and/or the Lenders for all expenses incurred by the Agent
and/or the Lenders, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and
expenses in connection with the foregoing.

     Section 8. Transfers and Other Liens.
The Pledgor agrees that it will
not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral without the prior written consent of the Agent, except as
permitted under the Loan Documents, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect
to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the security interest under this Pledge Agreement.

	 	 	Section 9. Remedies.

     (a) If any Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent shall have, in addition to any
other rights given under this Pledge Agreement or by applicable law, all of the rights and remedies
with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the UCC. The Agent (personally or
through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the
name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to exercise all voting rights
with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends or distributions and other
distributions made thereon, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Agent as
the proxy and attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so;
provided, however, that the Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such right or
to preserve the same and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or for any delay in doing so;
provided, further, however, that the Agent agrees to exercise such proxy
and powers only so long as a Default shall have occurred and is continuing and following written
notice thereof. In addition, after the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall have such powers of
sale and other powers as may be conferred by applicable law. With respect to the Pledged Collateral
or any part thereof which shall then be in or shall thereafter come into the possession or custody
of the Agent or which the Agent shall otherwise have the ability to transfer under applicable law,
the Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, after the
occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, sell or cause the same to be sold at any
exchange, broker’s board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price
as the Agent may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any
credit risk, and the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral so sold shall thereafter own
the same, absolutely free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. The Agent
and each of the Lenders may, in its own name, or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy the
Pledged Collateral at any public sale and, if permitted by applicable law, buy the Pledged
Collateral at any private sale. The Pledgor will pay to the Agent all reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and
expenses) of, or incidental to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof. The Agent agrees
to distribute any proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the Credit
Agreement and the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency following the sale of the Pledged
Collateral.

     (b) Unless any of the Pledged Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is or
becomes of a type sold on a recognized market, the Agent will give the Pledgor reasonable

6

 

notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after which any private
sale or other intended disposition is to be made. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral conducted in
conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, commercial finance companies, insurance
companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Pledged Collateral
shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein, the Pledgor agrees that any requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if
such notice is received by the Pledgor as provided in Section 21 below at least ten (10)
days before the time of the sale or disposition; provided, however, that Agent may
give any shorter notice that is commercially reasonable under the circumstances. Any other
requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is waived, to the extent permitted by law.

     (c) In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain
restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected after a
Default, the Pledgor agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, the
Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral by means of
a private placement restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are qualified
and will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution.
In so doing, the Agent may solicit offers to buy the Pledged Collateral, or any part of it, from a
limited number of investors deemed by the Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be financially
responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Collateral. If the Agent
solicits such offers from not less than three (3) such investors, then the acceptance by the Agent
of the highest offer obtained therefrom shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of
disposing of such Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that this Section does not
impose a requirement that the Agent solicit offers from four or more investors in order for the
sale to be commercially reasonable.

     Section 10. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
The Pledgor hereby appoints the Agent its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority, in the name of the Pledgor or
otherwise, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments
made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution, interest payment or other
distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge
for the same and to arrange for the transfer of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on the
books of the Borrower to the name of the Agent or the Agent’s nominee; provided,
however that the Agent agrees to exercise such powers only so long as a Default shall have
occurred and is continuing.

7

 

     Section 11. Waivers. The Pledgor waives
presentment and demand for payment of any of
the Obligations, protest and notice of dishonor or Default with respect to any of the Obligations
and all other notices to which the Pledgor might otherwise be entitled except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or in the Credit Agreement.

     Section 12. Term. This Pledge Agreement
shall remain in full force and
effect until the Secured Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash.
Upon the termination of this Pledge Agreement as provided above (other than as a result of the sale
of the Pledged Collateral), the Agent will release the security interest created hereunder.

     Section 13. Definitions. The singular
shall include the plural and vice
versa and any gender shall include any other gender as the context may
require.

     Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This
Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Pledgor, the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, and
their respective successors and assigns. The Pledgor’s successors and assigns shall include,
without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for the Pledgor.

     Section 15. GOVERNING LAW. THE PARTIES
HAVE VOLUNTARILY ELECTED THAT THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND ALL LOANS SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS) OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PLEDGOR AND THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER, OR ANY OTHER
HOLDER OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, AND WHETHER
ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
(WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE UCC PROVIDES FOR THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE).

     Section 16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED
AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT
EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT
ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY
AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT WITH
ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE

8

 

CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     Section 17. Severability. Whenever possible,
each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but, if any provision
of this Pledge Agreement shall be held to be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement.

     Section 18. Further Assurances. The
Pledgor agrees that it will cooperate
with the Agent and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered,
all such other stock powers, proxies, instruments and documents, and will take all such other
actions, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of financing statements, as the
Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of
this Pledge Agreement.

     Section 19. The Agent’s Duty of
Care. The Agent shall not be
liable for any acts, omissions, errors of judgment or mistakes
of fact or law including, without limitation, acts, omissions, errors or mistakes with respect to
the Pledged Collateral, except for those arising out of or in connection with the Agent’s (i) gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) failure to use reasonable care with respect to the safe
custody of the Pledged Collateral in the Agent’s possession. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in
the Pledged Collateral against any other parties but may do so at its option. All expenses incurred
in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of the Pledgor, and shall constitute part of
the Obligations secured hereby.

     Section 20. Notices. All notices and
other communications required or desired
to be served, given or delivered hereunder shall be given in the manner and to the
addresses set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     Section 21. Amendments, Waivers and
Consents. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Pledge Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom,
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

     Section 22. Section Headings. The
section headings herein are for
convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the interpretation of
any of the provisions hereof.

     Section 23. Execution in Counterparts.
This Pledge Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.
