(i) all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest, whether direct or indirect, whether legal, beneficial or economic, and whether fixed or contingent, (i) as the sole member in and to the Senior Mezz Pledgor, including, without limitation, Pledgor’s right to vote on Senior Mezz Pledgor matters and Pledgor’s rights, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, to receive from time to time its share of profits, losses, income surplus, return of capital, proceeds, fees, preferences, payments or distributions from Senior Mezz Pledgor (Pledged Interest”);

(ii) all Instruments, certificates, or other writings evidencing Pledgor’s Pledged Interest;

(iii) all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under that certain Operating Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2006, executed by Pledgor (as amended in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the “Operating Agreement”) and the other organizational documents of Senior Mezz Pledgor;

(iv) all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all General Intangibles relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing; and

(v) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing.

(b) Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures (i) the Indebtedness and (ii) all obligations of Pledgor under the Loan Agreement, the Note and all of the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”).

(c) Perfection of Security Interest. In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 2(a) above, Pledgor hereby agrees with Lender as follows:

(i) If the Pledged Interest is not currently represented or evidenced by certificates or Instruments, Pledgor shall, upon the execution of this Agreement (A) cause the Senior Mezz Pledgor to create a registration book for the registration of all ownership interests in Senior Mezz Pledgor and cause Senior Mezz Pledgor to register in such book Pledgor’s pledge of the Pledged Interest to Lender together with the notation that all distributions are to be disbursed to Lender as required under this Agreement, and (B) cause the Senior Mezz Pledgor to agree to comply with any and all unilateral directions and other Instructions from Lender concerning such Pledged Interest given in accordance with this Agreement, without any further consent of (or regardless of contrary instructions of) Pledgor or any other person.

(ii) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Pledgor is delivering to Lender an assignment of membership

interest in blank (the “Assignment of Interest”), in the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto, for the Pledged Interest, transferring all of the Pledged Interest in blank, duly executed by Pledgor and undated. Lender shall have the right, at any time in its discretion upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6(a) below, to transfer to, and to designate on the Assignment of Interest, any Person to whom the Pledged Interest is sold in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(iii) To the extent the Pledged Interest hereafter is represented or evidenced by certificates, Instruments or other writings (other than the Operating Agreement) whether in bearer or registered form, Pledgor shall within three (3) days of receipt of any such certificates, Instruments or other writings (A) deliver to Lender such certificates, Instruments or other writings, as applicable and (B) deliver to Lender all necessary powers, instruments of transfer or assignment, each undated and duly executed in blank.

(iv) Regardless of whether the Collateral is represented or evidenced by certificates, Instruments or other writings, Pledgor shall do all other acts and deliver such other documents, and cause Senior Mezz Pledgor to do the same, as Lender reasonably deems necessary or desirable (or as are otherwise required by the laws of the jurisdiction governing perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection or the priority of Lender’s security interest) in order to perfect such security interest in the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, Pledgor hereby authorizes Lender to file such UCC financing statements against Pledgor as Lender shall deem necessary or desirable containing a description of the Collateral pledged by Pledgor sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Article 9 of the UCC (the “UCC Financing Statements”).

(d) Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Indebtedness. Upon the payment in full of all Indebtedness, the security interests granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination, the Lender shall, at Pledgor’s sole expense, deliver to Pledgor, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, all certificates, Instruments and other writings representing or evidencing all Collateral then held by the Lender hereunder, if any, and execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in the State of Nevada. Pledgor has full limited liability company power and authority to execute this Agreement and to undertake and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed by or on behalf of Pledgor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor and is enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

(b) Agreement Will Cause No Defaults.

(c) Ownership, No Liens, etc. Pledgor is the legal, record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to the Collateral in which it grants a security interest to Lender under this Agreement, free and clear of all liens, security interests, options or other charges or encumbrances, other than the security interest granted pursuant hereto.

(f) Authorization, Approval, etc. No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or any other person is required either:

4. Covenants.

(a) Protect Collateral. Pledgor agrees that it will own at all times during the term of the Loan one hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interests in Senior Mezz Pledgor. Pledgor agrees that it shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber in any other manner the Collateral (except for the pledge to Lender hereunder or an assignment to Lender or its designee pursuant to the Assignment of Membership Interests). Pledgor shall warrant and, at Pledgor’s expense, defend the right and title herein granted unto the Lender in and to the Collateral (and all right, title and interest represented by the Collateral) against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

(b) Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at Pledgor’s expense (i) promptly execute and deliver, and cause the Senior Mezz Pledgor to promptly execute and deliver, all further writings (including instruments of transfer or control) reasonably requested by Lender, and (ii) promptly take all further action, and cause the Senior Mezz Pledgor to promptly take all further action, that the Lender may reasonably request; in each case, in order to perfect and protect and maintain the perfection and priority of any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, including the rights and remedies under Section 7(b).

(c) Organizational Documents. Pledgor agrees that it shall not amend or restate the operating agreement or certificate of formation of Senior Mezz Pledgor without Lender’s consent including but not limited to changing the location of its principal place of business or chief executive office, its name or reorganizing under the laws of another jurisdiction.

(d) Consents. Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Lender, upon its request at the time Lender exercises its remedies, any document required under the organizational documents of Pledgor or otherwise reasonably deemed necessary by Lender in order to evidence Pledgor’s consent to the Lender’s exercising of its remedies under this Agreement, including those set forth in Section 7(a) hereof wherein Lender becomes the record, legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral pledged under this Agreement.

(e) Pledged Interest. The Pledged Interest (i) will not become “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-101(a)(9) of the UCC) and (ii) will not be credited to a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC). The parties agree that the Pledged Interest constitutes “general intangibles” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC); and Pledgor agrees that the Pledged Interest is not and will not be investment company securities within the meaning of Section 8-103 of the UCC.

(f) Taxes and Assessments. Pledgor shall pay, and hold Lender harmless from any liabilities with respect to payment of, any taxes or assessments which may be payable with respect to the Collateral (except any taxes or assessments arising after

foreclosure) or in connection with any of the interests in Collateral created by this Agreement.

(g) Issuance of Interests or Securities. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Pledgor shall not directly or indirectly vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, Senior Mezz Pledgor to issue any limited liability company interests or to issue additional securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any interests of or in Senior Mezz Pledgor.

5. The Lender.

(a) Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the name and place of Pledgor or otherwise, (i) to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted hereby and (ii) after an Event of Default, to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder as the legal, record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interest. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 5 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(b) Lender May Perform. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, and such failure either (i) becomes an Event of Default or (ii) prior to becoming an Event of Default continues for twenty (20) days after Lender gives written notice to Borrower to cure, the Lender may cause the same to be performed and the Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor.

(c) Lender Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession, the Lender shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral.

6. Event of Default. As used in this Agreement, an “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence of any one or more of the following:

(a) any failure in the observance or performance by Pledgor of any of its obligations, covenants or duties hereunder which continues for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure by Lender to Pledgor, or if such failure is not reasonably susceptible of cure within such 30 day period and if Pledgor promptly commences such cure within such 30 day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion, then the cure period shall be extended for such period of time as may be reasonably necessary to effect a cure but in no event shall such period exceed 90 days; or

(b) any representation or warranty made by Pledgor herein proves to be false or misleading in any material respect as of the date it is made; or

7. Remedies.

(a) Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Lender shall have the right, without any further action or consent of Pledgor to immediately direct the Senior Mezz Pledgor to identify the Lender or its designee on its books and records as the record, legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interest in full substitution of Pledgor. The Lender or its designee shall thereafter have the sole right to exercise all rights, privileges, options and powers relating to the Pledged Interests.

(ii) The Lender shall have the right, without the necessity of becoming the record and legal owner of the Pledged Interest as provided in Section 7(a)(i), to exercise in its sole discretion the voting power and all other rights of ownership with respect to any Pledged Interests. All proceeds of the Collateral shall immediately be paid to Lender and shall be applied by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) The Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. In the exercise of such rights and remedies Lender may, without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof at one or more public or private sales held at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem reasonable. Pledgor agrees that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable then if such sale were a public sale. Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Compliance with Restrictions. In any public or private sale of any of the Collateral, the Lender is authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to comply with, or otherwise avoid any violation of applicable law regarding any public or private sale, including any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official. Such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The

Lender shall not be liable or accountable to Pledgor for any price reduction resulting from, or expense incurred as a result of, Lender’s compliance with any such limitation or restriction. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay any sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Senior Mezz Pledgor or Pledgor to register such Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time, or under applicable state securities laws.

(c) Application of Proceeds. All cash proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender, in the following order, against (i) any reasonable attorneys fees or other expenses incurred in connection with any collection or sale and (ii) all or any part of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Lender shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Lender and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(d) Additional Rights. Subject to Section 8(m) hereof, in addition to the rights set forth above, Pledgor shall have and may exercise all other rights conferred by law or existing under this Agreement and may resort to any remedy existing at law or in equity for the collection of the Indebtedness and for the enforcement of the covenants and agreement contained herein.

(e) Remedies Cumulative. No remedy or right of the Lender hereunder, under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available under applicable law or in equity, shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each such remedy or right shall be in addition to every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing under applicable law or in equity. No delay in the exercise of, or omission to exercise, any remedy or right after any Event of Default shall impair any such remedy or right or be construed as a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence thereto, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or different nature. Every remedy or right may be exercised concurrently or independently and when and as often as may be deemed necessary by Lender.

8. Miscellaneous

(a) Amendments. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

(b) Protection of Collateral. The Lender may take any action which the Lender reasonably deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein if in Lender’s judgment such action is necessary to avoid immediate harm to Lender or impairment of the Collateral.

(c) Notices. Any notice, election, communication, request, approval or other document or demand required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement.
