necessary action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement in

required hereunder, including all Intellectual Property. Such security interest will be
perfected upon (i) in the case of all Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC (other than any Commercial

actions specified on Schedule 2 (which, in the case of all filings and other

Section 6. Remedial Provisions.

(a) General Remedies. While an Event of Default exists, the Secured Party may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any
other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law
referred to below) to or upon Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived by Grantor), may in such circumstances forthwith
collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The
Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by the UCC and other Applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or
any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Grantor, which
right or equity is hereby waived and released by Grantor. Grantor further agrees, at the Secured
Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places
that the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire
against the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender arising out of the exercise by the
Secured Party of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at
least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) Pledged Collateral. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(a)
and while an Event of Default exists, upon notice by the Secured Party to the relevant Grantor, (i)
the Secured Party shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make
application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order provided in Section 6(h) and
(ii) the Secured Party or its nominee may exercise any voting, consent, corporate and other right
pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof, all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided,
however, that the Secured Party shall have no duty to Grantor to exercise any such right,
privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In
order to permit the Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it is
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all distributions that it is entitled to
receive hereunder, (i) Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to the Secured Party all such orders and instruments as the Secured Party may from time
to time request and (ii) without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), Grantor hereby
grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to exercise all rights, powers, privileges and
remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled, which proxy shall be
effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any
Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the
issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) while an Event of Default
exists. Grantor hereby
expressly authorizes and irrevocably instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged
hereunder by Grantor to (x) comply with any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in
writing that states that an Event of Default exists and is otherwise in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Grantor, and Grantor agrees that
such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (y) pay any payment with respect to the
Pledged Collateral directly to the Secured Party.

 

Page 13

 

(c) Writ of Possession; Receiver. Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured
Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that while an Event of Default exists
the Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession with respect to the
Collateral without notice of a hearing or the requirement of posting a bond. The Secured Party
shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of Grantor, and
Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Grantor
may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Secured Party.

(d) Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Secured Party as
provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition
to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights,
powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of
any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

(e) Marshaling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or
future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the fullest extent that it lawfully may,
Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral
which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured party’s rights and remedies
under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured
Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the fullest extent
that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

(f) Proceeds to be Turned Over To Secured Party. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Secured Party hereunder in cash or
cash equivalents shall be held by the Secured Party in as cash collateral for the Secured
Obligations. All Proceeds while held by the Secured Party as such cash collateral (or by Grantor
in trust for the Secured Party) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit
Agreement.

 

Page 14

 

(g) Intellectual Property License. Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party,
subject to the terms of the Delano Management Agreement or any other applicable license agreement,
a license or other right while an Event of Default exists to use, without liability for royalties
or any other charge, Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, and all other Intellectual Property, whether owned by Grantor or with respect to which
Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to collateral, in
preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and Grantor’s rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements shall insure to the benefit of the Secured Party.

(h) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the whole or any part of the
Collateral, together with any other moneys held by the Secured Party under the provisions of this
Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall
remain liable and will pay, on demand, any deficiency remaining in respect of the Secured
Obligations.

Section 7. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby constitutes and
appoints the Secured Party as the attorney-in-fact of Grantor with full power of substitution
either in the Secured Party’s name or in the name of Grantor to do any of the following: (a) to
perform any obligation of Grantor hereunder in Grantor’s name or otherwise; (b) to ask for, demand,
sue for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due
under and by virtue of any Collateral; (c) to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notices,
assignments, financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration or like
papers to perfect, preserve or release the Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral; (d)
to issue entitlement orders, instructions and other orders to any bank in connection with any of
the Collateral held by or maintained with such bank; (e) to verify facts concerning the Collateral
in such Grantor’s name, its own name or a fictitious name; (f) to endorse checks, drafts, orders
and other instruments for the payment of money payable to such Grantor, representing any payment in
respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for
the same; (g) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which Grantor would have, but for this
Agreement, with respect to any of the Collateral; and (h) to carry out the provisions of this
Agreement and to take any action and execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, and to do all acts and things and execute
all documents in the name of Grantor or otherwise, deemed by the Secured Party as necessary, proper
and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights
hereunder; provided, that the Pledgee shall only exercise its rights under clauses (a),
(b), (d), (e) and (g) while an Event of Default exists. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or
to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby,
and no action taken by the Secured Party or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or
any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of Grantor or to
any claim or action against the Secured Party. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable
and coupled with an interest.

 

Page 15

 

Section 8. Secured Party Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder
are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of itself,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to
any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties
or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have
exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession
if the Secured Party accords such Collateral treatment substantially equal to that which the
Secured Party accords its own property.

Section 9. Authorization of Financing Statements. Grantor authorizes the Secured
Party, and its counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or
record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording
documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the
Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Secured
Party under this Agreement. Grantor agrees that such financing statements and amendments may
describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property of the debtor” or words of
similar effect. Grantor hereby also authorizes the Secured Party, and its counsel and other
representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to
previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument
for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to
file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing
statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured
Party, subject to Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

Section 10. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
nor consent to any departure by Grantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that Schedules to this Agreement may be supplemented through
Security Agreement Supplements executed by Grantor and accepted by the Secured Party.

Section 11. Notices. Notices, requests and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be made by personal delivery, telecopy or
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses and in the manner set
forth in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement:

Section 12. No Waiver. Neither the failure on the part of the Secured Party, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise, nor the delay on the part of the Secured Party, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder, nor any course of dealing
between the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, on the one hand, and Grantor, on the
other hand, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power, or remedy hereunder preclude any other or the further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

 

Page 16

 

Section 13. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
except that Grantor shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein and any
such assignment by Grantor shall be null and void absent the prior written consent of the Secured
Party.

Section 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple counterparts
and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document.
Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart.

Section 15. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provisions
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are
not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

Section 18. Expenses. Grantor agrees to pay to the Secured Party expenses incurred
in connection with this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 19. Indemnification. Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold the Secured
Party, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective predecessor, affiliate,
subsidiaries, successors and assigns, together with their past, present and future officers,
directors, agents, attorneys, financial advisors, representatives, partners, joint ventures,
affiliates and the successor and assigns of any and all of them (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (“Indemnified Amounts”) brought against or incurred by an Indemnified Person, in
any manner arising out of or, directly or indirectly, related in any way to or connected with this
Agreement, including without limitation, the exercise by the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender
of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other action taken by the
Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, Grantor shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to
Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment.

 

Page 17

 

Section 20. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until it terminates
in accordance with its terms.

Section 21. Reinstatement. Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any
Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set
aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to
be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by the Secured
Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including Grantor,
under any bankruptcy law or other applicable law, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment,
any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect,
as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or
other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue
of such cancellation or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force
and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair
or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of Grantor in respect of
the amount of such payment.

Section 22. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party hereunder,
the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement
or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of the
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document, or any other agreement or
instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Grantor in respect of the Secured
Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the
Secured Obligations).

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Agent
and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrowers.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranties as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual
payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all
of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all
indebtedness and obligations owing by each of the Borrowers to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the
Agent under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including
without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans and the Reimbursement
Obligations, and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other amounts
payable to any Lender or the Agent thereunder or in connection therewith; (b) any and all
extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are
incurred by the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing
or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder; and (d) all other Obligations.

 

 

 

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of
payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly,
none of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Agent shall be obligated or required before enforcing
this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against
either of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other
proceeding against either of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or
other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of either of the Borrowers,
any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of either of the Borrowers, any
other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral
security held by the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Agent which may secure any of the Guarantied
Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the
same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any
of such terms or the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of
each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in
accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall
not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or
occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor
consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or
any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to
the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied
Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion
from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the
Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or
evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or
evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

Page 2

 

(c) any furnishing to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders of any security for
the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization
on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security
therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or
any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other
liability of either of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party;

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, either of the Borrowers,
any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty
by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any act or failure to act by either of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any
other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against
either of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to recover payments made under this
Guaranty;

(g) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any
collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations;

(h) any application of sums paid by either of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any
other Person with respect to the liabilities of either of the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party to the Agent or the Lenders, regardless of what liabilities of either of the Borrowers
remain unpaid;

(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of either of the
Borrowers or in the exercise thereof;

(j) any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and
performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by either of the
Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Agent or any Lender;

(k) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of either of the
Borrowers or any other Loan Party;

(l) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of
either of the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, or
any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect;
or

(m) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in
full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to,
any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and
all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or
supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending
or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest
rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with
all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan
Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied
Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against either of the Borrowers,
any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however
realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by each of the
Borrowers with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor as a Subsidiary or Loan Party
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in
full.

Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which any
Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with as a Subsidiary or Loan Party under the terms of
the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any
kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any
manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or the
Lenders are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of
any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent, the
Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand
therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received
in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such Lender repays
all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such
claim effected by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender with any such claimant (including each
of the Borrowers or a trustee in bankruptcy for either of the Borrowers), then and in such event
each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or
compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation
of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any
liability of either of the Borrowers, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank or such Lender for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if
such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender.

 

Page 4

 

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder
for the account of either of the Borrowers, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the
payee against the Borrowers; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not
enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in
respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against either of the
Borrowers arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of
such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount
in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith pay such amount to the
Agent to be credited and applied, at the Agent’s election, against the Guarantied Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by
the Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder,
whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full,
without set off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes),
and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such
deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been
required.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of
the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each
Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and any of their respective
affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such
Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of
a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent
exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits
(general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of
deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the
Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, or any affiliate of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such
Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor
agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights
of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully
as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such
participation.

 

Page 5

 

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for
the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of
the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without
limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of
payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall
accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise)
from either of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party on account of or in any manner in respect of
any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of Morgans Hotel Group Management
LLC (“Management Company”), the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that in any
Proceeding, Management Company’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the
maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of Management Company hereunder (or
any other obligations of Management Company to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) to be
avoidable or unenforceable against Management Company in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable
Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the
“Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or
statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the
obligations of Management Company hereunder (or any other obligations of Management Company to the
Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the
“Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of Management
Company hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the
maximum Guarantied Obligations for which Management Company shall be liable hereunder shall be
reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have
been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of Management Company
hereunder (or any other obligations of Management Company to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended
solely to preserve the rights of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder to the
maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of Management Company hereunder to be subject
to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither Management Company nor any other Person
shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would
not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each of the Borrowers and the other Loan
Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the
Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes
and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor the Issuing Bank or any of the
Lenders shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such
circumstances or risks.

OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR
CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE

JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR

Section 17. Loan Accounts. The Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender may maintain
books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable
with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the
outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the
entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other
matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor
of any of its obligations hereunder.

Issuing Bank or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor
hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the

Bank or the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns
(including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the
provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be
deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be
binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement,
assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any
Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and
without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to
Section 13.8. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent
or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any
financial or other information regarding either of the Borrowers or any Guarantor. No Guarantor
may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written
consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have
not so consented shall be null and void.

ANNEX I

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by the New Guarantor, the New Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Accession to Guaranty. The New Guarantor hereby agrees that it is a

supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by
each Subsidiary and other Affiliate of the Borrowers party thereto in favor of the Agent, the

agrees to be bound thereby, all as if the New Guarantor had been an original signatory to the
Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Guarantor hereby:

(a) irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment and
performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all
