provided, however, that investment income or interest received from amounts on
deposit in the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account may, from time to time, be
transferred (a “BLIRA Interest Income Transfer”) to the Building Loan Proceeds
Account, the Building Loan Company Funds Account or the Project Company Funds
Account (as defined in the Project Disbursement Agreement) for the payment of
Building Loan Costs hereunder (or Project Costs under and as defined in the
Project Disbursement Agreement, as the case may be), provided that the Borrower
has provided the Disbursement Agent with a written request for such transfer
accompanied with a certification that (a) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing (or will result from such transfer), and (b) the
Project will be In Balance (as defined herein and in the Project Disbursement
Agreement) before and after giving effect to such transfer.
2.2.2    Establishment of Building Loan Disbursement Account. Concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower shall enter into a
Control Agreement with the Local Bank, as the account bank thereunder, with
respect to the Building Loan Disbursement Account. The Borrower shall cause such
Account to be maintained at all times until such Account is permitted to be
closed in accordance with Section 4.6. On the Closing Date, there shall be
deposited into the Building Loan Disbursement Account such amounts, if any, as
shall have been designated in that certain funds flow memorandum delivered under
the Loan Agreement in connection with the Closing Date. Subject to such Control
Agreement, and except for any amounts which may be deposited therein on the
Closing Date (which amounts shall be permitted to be applied to the Building
Loan Costs for which such amounts were so deposited), the Borrower shall be
permitted from time to time to draw checks on and otherwise withdraw amounts on
deposit in the Building Loan Disbursement Account to pay Building Loan Costs
then due and payable and reflected in the applicable Disbursement Request
pursuant to which such amounts were transferred to the Building Loan
Disbursement Account. The Borrower shall cause investment income or interest
received from amounts on deposit in the Building Loan Disbursement Account to be
deposited therein.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan Cash Management Account. On the Closing Date, there shall be deposited into
the Building Loan Cash Management Account such amounts, if any, as shall have
been designated in that certain funds flow memorandum delivered under the Loan
Agreement in connection with the Closing Date. The Borrower shall be permitted
from time to time after the Closing Date to request a Disbursement of funds from
the Building Loan Proceeds Account or Building Loan Company Funds Account, as
the case may be, to the Building Loan Cash Management Account (including to
replace amounts previously drawn from, and/or to increase the funds on deposit
in, the Building Loan Cash Management Account) by including a request to such
effect in a Disbursement Request and satisfying the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.1.2; provided, however, that the balance of funds on deposit
in the Building Loan Cash Management Account may not exceed the Cash Management
Allowance at any time and, in connection with any Disbursement Request, the
Borrower shall certify to the Disbursement Agent that the aggregate balance of
funds on deposit in the Building Loan Cash Management Account does not and will
not exceed the Cash Management Allowance (including after giving effect to any
such Disbursement Request). Subject to such Control Agreement, the Borrower
shall be permitted from time to time to draw checks on and otherwise withdraw
amounts on deposit in the Building Loan Cash Management Account to pay Building
Loan Costs then due and payable. The Borrower shall cause investment income or
interest received from amounts on deposit in the Building Loan Cash Management
Account to be deposited therein until applied to the payment of Building Loan
Costs as described above.
2.3    Acknowledgment of Security Interest; Control. In order to secure the
Obligations, the Borrower has pledged to the Collateral Agent, and created in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, a security interest in and to, the Accounts, all Cash, Cash
Equivalents, financial assets, investment property, instruments, investments,
securities entitlements and other securities or amounts at any time on deposit
in or credited to the Accounts, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. All
moneys, Cash Equivalents, financial assets, investment property, instruments,
investments, securities entitlements and other securities at any time on deposit
in or credited to any of the Accounts shall constitute collateral security for
the payment and performance of the Obligations and shall at all times be subject
to the control of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders), and shall be held in the custody of the securities
intermediary or account bank under the applicable Control Agreement for the
purposes of, and on the terms set forth in, such Control Agreement.
2.4    The Borrower’s Rights. The Borrower shall not have any rights or powers
with respect to any amounts in any Accounts, or any part thereof, except (a) as
provided in the applicable Control Agreements and (b) the right described in the
Loan Documents to have such amounts applied in accordance with the provisions
hereof and the Loan Documents. Furthermore, for purposes of clarification, in no
event shall any Holding Accounts (or amounts distributed from the Holding
Accounts for the payment of Debt Financing Costs or other Building Loan Costs or
otherwise) be held, maintained, received or otherwise controlled by the
Borrower.
3.    Certain Responsibilities of the Disbursement Agent.
3.1    Instructions for Disbursements from Certain Holding Accounts. Except for
the payments described in Section 3.3 and subject to Sections 3.5 and 4.1.3, the
Disbursement Agent

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall, in accordance with a Disbursement Request, instruct the Account Bank
(pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Control Agreement) to disburse
funds from the Building Loan Proceeds Account, or the Building Loan Company
Funds Account, as the case may be, to pay for Building Loan Costs in accordance
with the Borrower’s Disbursement Requests after approval thereof in accordance
with the terms hereof and only upon satisfaction (or waiver by the
Administrative Agent) of the conditions to disbursement set forth herein. For
the avoidance of doubt, instructions from the Disbursement Agent for the payment
of amounts described in Section 3.3 shall be given regardless of whether the
conditions precedent to disbursement have been satisfied or waived and
regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.
3.2    Transfer of Funds at Direction of the Administrative Agent. Subject to
Sections 3.3, 3.5 and 4.1.3, but notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary in this Agreement (but subject to the last sentence of this
Section 3.2), from and after the date the Disbursement Agent receives written
notice from the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent that
an Event of Default exists, and until such time, if ever, as the Disbursement
Agent receives written notice from the Collateral Agent or the Administrative
Agent that such Event of Default no longer exists, the Disbursement Agent shall
not instruct the Account Banks to disburse any funds from the Accounts (other
than disbursements from the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account to pay Debt
Financing Costs), and any withdrawal or transfer of amounts from such Accounts
shall be made at the direction of the Administrative Agent; provided, however,
that (i) any wires funded from or checks drawn on either Disbursement Account or
the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account for payments approved hereunder in
connection with a prior Disbursement Request shall be honored to the extent of
available funds on deposit therein notwithstanding the continuance of any such
Event of Default; and (ii) Disbursement Requests submitted by the Borrower
hereunder solely for payments of (1) insurance premiums on insurance policies
required for the Project under the Loan Documents to the extent the same
constitute Building Loan Costs, (2) Taxes assessed against the Project to the
extent the same constitute Building Loan Costs, or (3) other payments to
Governmental Authorities to the extent the same constitute Building Loan Costs,
shall be honored to the extent of Disbursements necessary for payment of such
amounts notwithstanding the continuance of any such Event of Default, unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Disbursement Agent that
such Disbursements are not to be made or the Collateral Agent shall have issued
a Trigger Notice (as defined below); provided further, however, that in the
event the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that an Event
of Default would be cured upon the making of the subject Disbursement, the
Administrative Agent shall so notify the Disbursement Agent and the Disbursement
Agent shall, so long as all other conditions precedent to the subject
Disbursement have been satisfied, instruct the Account Banks to disburse the
funds requested by the subject Disbursement. Such Disbursement may be made, at
the request of the Administrative Agent, directly to the payee(s) thereof. The
parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that in the event that the
Collateral Agent shall have issued a prohibition notice, notice of sole control
or other similar direction (a “Trigger Notice”) to any Account Bank under a
Control Agreement to the effect that such Account Bank shall only act at the
direction of the Collateral Agent with regard to the Accounts thereunder (such
event, a “Trigger”), then during the occurrence and continuation of the Event of
Default giving rise to such Trigger, no further direction by the Disbursement
Agent shall be given with regard to any Account hereunder. Upon delivery, if
ever, of written notice

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rescinding such Trigger Notice by the Collateral Agent to the Disbursement
Agent, disbursement of funds shall occur in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
3.3    Payment of Compensation.
3.3.1    Compensation of the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent and
the Construction Consultant. On each anniversary of the Closing Date (or on the
first Business Day after such anniversary if such anniversary does not fall on a
Business Day), the Disbursement Agent shall instruct the Account Bank under the
applicable Control Agreement to transfer the fees and any other amounts
scheduled to be paid under the Fee Letters from the applicable Account (as
determined pursuant to Section 4.2) directly to Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands
Branch and CBRE, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a Inspection & Valuation
International (or its respective successors or assigns), as applicable, which
amount shall constitute compensation for services to be performed by it in its
respective capacities as the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent and
the Construction Consultant during such year.
3.3.2    Power of Attorney. The instructions contemplated by this Section 3.3 to
be given by the Disbursement Agent shall be made without the requirement of
obtaining any further consent or action on the part of the Borrower with respect
thereto, and the Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the Disbursement Agent
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to give such instructions and, if
applicable, make such disbursements, and this power of attorney shall be deemed
to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
3.4    Periodic Review.
3.4.1    Review by Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall act in good
faith in the performance of its duties hereunder. Commencing upon execution and
delivery hereof, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right, but shall have no
obligation, to meet periodically at reasonable times upon reasonable advance
notice with representatives of each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower,
the Architect, the Construction Manager, the EV Contractor, the EV Architect,
the Construction Consultant and such other employees, consultants, counsel or
agents as the Disbursement Agent shall reasonably request to be present for such
meetings. In addition, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right, but shall
have no obligation, at reasonable times during customary business hours and at
reasonable intervals upon prior notice, to review, to the extent it deems
reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit it to perform its duties
hereunder, all information (including Construction Contracts) supporting any
Disbursement Request and any certificates in support of any of the foregoing.
The Disbursement Agent shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to
examine, copy and make extracts of the books, records, accounting data and other
documents of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties which are reasonably
necessary or appropriate to permit it to perform its duties hereunder, including
bills of sale, statements, receipts, contracts or agreements to the extent
related to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated into the Project
(excluding each of the foregoing which is subject to attorney-client privilege
or attorney-work product). The rights of the Disbursement Agent under this
Section 3.4 shall not (a) extend any review or response periods granted to the
Agents or the Construction Consultant under this Agreement, provided that
Borrower or the other Loan Parties are reasonably cooperating to provide
Disbursement Agent with the requested information; or (b) be construed as an
obligation, it being

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

understood that the Disbursement Agent’s duty is solely limited to act upon
certificates and Disbursement Requests submitted by the Borrower and
instructions of the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, pursuant to the terms hereof (and, in the case of Section 3.4.2,
invoices submitted by the Construction Consultant), and the Disbursement Agent
shall be protected in acting upon any Disbursement Request which appears to be
valid on its face and to be duly executed by an authorized representative of the
Borrower.
3.4.2    Review by Construction Consultant. The Borrower shall permit the
Construction Consultant (acting as a representative for the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Disbursement Agent) to meet periodically at
reasonable times during customary business hours and at reasonable intervals
with representatives of the Borrower, the Disbursement Agent, the Construction
Manager, the EV Contractor, the Architect, the EV Architect and such other
employees, consultants, counsel or agents as the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Construction Consultant shall reasonably request to be
present for such meetings (it being understood that the parties intend, so far
as reasonably practicable, to coordinate such meetings to coincide with any
schedule of regular meetings established between the Borrower and the
Construction Manager or EV Contractor, as the case may be). Construction
Consultant shall (i) participate in such meetings, at reasonable times during
customary business hours and at reasonable intervals, with the Borrower, the
Construction Manager, the EV Contractor, the Architect, the EV Architect and/or
other employees, consultants, counsel or agents of the Borrower as the Borrower
may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) upon the Borrower’s request,
review and provide comments to “pencil copy requisitions” in advance of the
Borrower’s submission of Disbursement Requests. Subject to safety-related
requirements, the Borrower shall permit the Construction Consultant (and in the
case of clause (c), the Insurance Advisor) (a) to perform such inspections of
the Real Property and the Project as it deems reasonably necessary or
appropriate in the performance of its duties on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Disbursement Agent, (b) at reasonable times
during customary business hours upon reasonable prior notice to review, to the
extent it deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit it to perform its
duties, to review and examine the Plans and Specifications (and Final Plans and
Specifications) and all shop drawings relating to the Project, and all
information (including Construction Contracts) supporting the amendments to the
Building Budget, amendments to any Construction Contracts, any Disbursement
Request and any certificates in support of any of the foregoing, to inspect
materials stored at any Mortgaged Property, the Project, or off-site facilities
where materials designated for use in the Project are stored, and (c) to review
the insurance required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. The Borrower
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Disbursement Agent and the Construction Consultant to contact the Construction
Manager, the EV Contractor, the Architect or the EV Architect, and after the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any other payee
for purposes of confirming receipt of progress payments; provided, however, that
that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Disbursement Agent
shall have no obligation to contact (or cause the Construction Consultant to
contact) any payee to so confirm. In addition, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Disbursement Agent (or the Construction Consultant on
their behalf) shall be entitled to (at such Person’s sole cost and expense,
except after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
whereupon such costs and expenses shall be for the account of Borrower) examine,
copy and make extracts of the books, records, accounting data and other
documents of the Borrower or

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the other Loan Parties relating to the construction of the Project, including
bills of sale, statements, receipts, lien releases and affidavits, contracts or
agreements, to the extent related to any materials, fixtures or articles
incorporated into the Project (excluding each of the foregoing which is subject
to attorney-client privilege or attorney-work product. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Disbursement Agent or the
Construction Consultant, the Borrower shall from time to time deliver to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Disbursement Agent and the
Construction Consultant a Building Loan Cost Schedule for the Project. Subject
to safety-related requirements, the Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate, and
shall cause the other Loan Parties, the Construction Manager, the EV Contractor
and each other Contractor to reasonably cooperate, with the Construction
Consultant in assisting the Construction Consultant to perform its duties on
behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Disbursement
Agent and exercising its review and inspection rights hereunder to take such
further steps as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Disbursement Agent or the Construction Consultant reasonably may request in
order to facilitate the performance of such obligations or the exercise of such
rights.
3.5    Special Procedures for Unpaid Contractors. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower agrees that the Disbursement Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made advances and transfers
of any or all sums in the Accounts (other than the Building Loan Interest
Reserve Account) directly into the account of any Contractor for amounts due and
owing to such Contractor from the Borrower without further authorization from
the Borrower and the Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the Disbursement
Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to make or cause the making of
such direct payments and this power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that the
Disbursement Agent shall not exercise its rights under this power of attorney
except as directed in writing by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative
Agent. No further direction or authorization from the Borrower shall be
necessary to warrant or permit the Disbursement Agent to make or cause the
making of such advances in accordance with the foregoing. The Disbursement Agent
shall consult with, and may (but shall not be obligated to) seek direction from,
the Construction Consultant in making any advances or transfers under this
Section 3.5. The Disbursement Agent shall have no liability for any advances or
transfers made in accordance with this Section 3.5 absent bad faith, fraud,
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and
unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Disbursement Agent a request for the disbursement of funds from the Building
Loan Company Funds Account and/or the Building Loan Proceeds Account (in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

clause (a) thereof) shall have been satisfied or waived, as certified by the
Borrower in the relevant Disbursement Request;
(l)    [Intentionally Omitted;]
(m)    The Borrower shall certify, and provide such supporting documentation as

Section 22 Lien Law Affidavit in accordance with the Lien Law or, if such
Disbursement Request or other change to the Building Budget does require the
filing of an amended Section 22 Lien Law Affidavit, the Borrower shall certify
that it has provided the Administrative Agent, Disbursement Agent and
Construction Consultant the following:
(i)    a proposed amended Section 22 Lien Law Affidavit in accordance with
Section 6.1, which shall be reasonably acceptable to Disbursement Agent and

reduction is a the result of Realized Savings and shall provide the following:
(1)     a list of all Contractors that are affected by the proposed change (the

Consultant in the relevant Disbursement Request in determining that the
conditions specified in this Section 4.1.2 have been satisfied unless the
Disbursement Agent shall have received further certifications indicating that
prior certifications are inaccurate. For purposes of determining whether the
condition to Disbursement set forth in Section 4.1.2(j) has been satisfied, any
Default or Event of Default that

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

would be cured upon the application of the requested Disbursement of funds shall
not be deemed a Default or Event of Default hereunder, and such curing
Disbursement may be made, at the request of the Administrative Agent, directly
to the payee(s) thereof.
4.1.3    Non-Satisfaction of Conditions. In the event that any of the
conditions of Section 4.1.2 described above has not been satisfied in respect of
any Disbursement Request and for so long as such conditions are not satisfied
(for the purposes of which determination the Disbursement Agent shall in all
cases be entitled to rely solely upon the certificates and attachments thereto
provided to the Disbursement Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement), the Disbursement Agent shall not instruct the Account Bank to
disburse any funds from the Holding Accounts pursuant to a Disbursement Request,
except as provided in Section 3.2 or 4.3, and unless otherwise instructed by the
Administrative Agent.
4.2    Disbursement Priority Among Accounts. All Disbursements of funds from the
Building Loan Proceeds Account and the Building Loan Company Funds Account to
the Disbursement Accounts (or directly to pay Building Loan Costs or
compensation payable to the Disbursement Agent or the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 4.1.3 or 4.4, as applicable, and any
reimbursement to the Borrower under Section 4.4), or for the purpose of a Cash
Collateral Posting, shall at all times be made in the following order of
priority:
(a)    First, from the funds on deposit in, or at such time credited to, the
Building Loan Company Funds Account, until such funds are Exhausted; and
(b)    Second, from funds on deposit in, or at such time credited to, the
Building Loan Proceeds Account, until such funds are Exhausted.
4.3    Interest Payments.
4.3.1    Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment
Date until the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account is Exhausted, the
Administrative Agent shall inform the Disbursement Agent and the Borrower of the
amounts required to be paid on such Interest Payment Date with respect to the
Facilities, including (x) interest on the Loans due and payable on the
applicable Interest Payment Date, (y) net amounts due and payable under the
Specified Hedging Agreements to the counterparties thereunder (to the extent
allocable to the principal amount of the Loans under the Loan Agreement) (other
than termination payments), and (z) any fees described in Section 2.10(b) or
(d) of the Loan Agreement then due and payable; provided, however, that in the
event that the Administrative Agent fails to provide such information to the
Disbursement Agent, then the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to,
provide such information to the Disbursement Agent, subject to Administrative
Agent’s confirmation (it being understood that any failure by the Administrative
Agent to provide such information shall not relieve the Borrower from its
obligations to make such payments on such Interest Payment Date). Additionally,
the Borrower shall inform the Administrative Agent and the Disbursement Agent of
amounts to be paid with respect to the entering into of Hedging Agreements
required pursuant to Section 5.13 of the Loan Agreement, and shall have the
right to request that such amounts be paid from the Building Loan Interest
Reserve Account as described in Section 4.3.2 below.

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3.2    On or before each Interest Payment Date until the Building Loan
Interest Reserve Account has been Exhausted, and subject to the last sentence of
this Section 4.3.2, the Disbursement Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to
make payment on such Interest Payment Date to the Administrative Agent from
amounts on deposit in the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account in the amount
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.3.1.
Such payments may be made without the requirement of obtaining any further
consent or action on the part of the Borrower with respect thereto, and the
Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the Disbursement Agent and the Account
Bank as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to provide such instructions and to
make such payments, respectively, and this power of attorney shall be deemed to
be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower acknowledge that nothing in this
Section 4.3.2 shall in any way exonerate or diminish the Borrower’s obligation
to make all payments under the Loan Documents as and when due. Additionally,
until the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account has been Exhausted, the
Disbursement Agent shall instruct the Account Bank to make payment from amounts
on deposit in the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account to such Persons and in
the amount requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3.1 to be paid with
respect to the entering into of Hedging Agreements required pursuant to Section
5.13 of the Loan Agreement.  Such payments may be made without the requirement
of obtaining any further consent or action on the part of the Borrower with
respect thereto.
4.4    Borrower’s Reimbursement of Previously Funded Building Loan Costs. If, at
any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall be unable to satisfy the
conditions precedent to any disbursement set forth in this Section 4 (other than
the In-Balance requirement set forth in Section 4.1.2(i)), then the Borrower
shall be entitled to pay Building Loan Costs then due and owing from other funds
available to the Borrower (other than amounts available under the Completion
Guaranty), including from proceeds of Subordinated Indebtedness (to the extent
permitted under the Loan Agreement), and to later seek reimbursement of such
Building Loan Costs from the Building Loan Company Funds Account or the Building
Loan Proceeds Account, as applicable, as part of a Disbursement Request as and
when permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at the time (if
any) that the Borrower is able to satisfy all the conditions precedent to
disbursement set forth in this Section 4 and provided that after giving effect
to such reimbursement, the Project shall be In Balance. To the extent that the
payment of such Building Loan Costs was made with the proceeds of equity
contributions or the proceeds of Subordinated Indebtedness (to the extent
permitted under the Loan Agreement) made to the Borrower after the Closing Date,
the Borrower shall be permitted to repay or distribute such reimbursed amounts
to its members or the applicable providers of such Subordinated Indebtedness, as
applicable, as and to the extent provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may not seek
reimbursement from the Building Loan Company Funds Account, and may not repay or
distribute any amounts to its members or providers of Subordinated Indebtedness,
for any equity contributions or proceeds of Subordinated Indebtedness made to
Borrower in order to satisfy the In Balance requirement or in connection with
Section 2.1 of the Completion Guaranty.

4.5    Disbursement of Funds Following Completion.
4.5.1     In the event that, as of the Completion Date, there exist Excess
Permitted Amounts, then Borrower shall contribute Excess Reserved Amounts into
the Building Loan Company Funds Account as a condition to declaring Completion.
Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Completion Date,
provide the Disbursement Agent with a statement of all funds then on deposit in
the Building Loan Company Funds Account, Building Loan Proceeds Account, and the
Disbursement Accounts, and shall designate the total amount of such funds that
represent (a) Reserved Amounts; (b) Excess Reserved Amounts that were
contributed by Borrower on the Completion Date; and (c) any amounts that, as of
the Completion Date, are in excess of Reserved Amounts and that do not
constitute Excess Reserved Amounts (such amounts, the “Loan Repayment Funds”).
Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Completion Date,
instruct the Disbursement Agent to instruct the Account Banks to apply all Loan
Repayment Funds to the repayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(d) of the
Loan Agreement (which, in accordance with Section 2.12(c) of the Loan Agreement,
shall be made without prepayment penalty, premium or similar charge). If the
Borrower shall fail to provide such instruction under this Section 4.5, then the
Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to provide such instruction.
4.5.2    After the Completion Date, Borrower may request a disbursement to the
Building Loan Disbursement Account of Reserved Amounts and Excess Reserved
Amounts (such amounts, the “Remaining Funds”) toward satisfaction of the
Punchlist Completion Amounts, the Disputed Amounts and the Retainage Amounts for
which such amounts were reserved, in each case as Borrower shall designate, by
delivery to the Disbursement Agent of a written request for release of such
Remaining Funds. Such request shall represent the absence of any Default or
Event of Default, specify the amount of Remaining Funds so requested and the
matter to which they are to be applied, and shall include as attachments copies
of invoices or other supporting documentation reasonably evidencing the
applicable punchlist item, dispute and/or retainage item to which such requested
release pertains. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Disbursement Agent shall
instruct the Account Bank to release such requested amount to the Building Loan
Disbursement Account for such application. Borrower shall, until such time as
Final Completion is declared, provide Disbursement Agent and Construction
Consultant with monthly written reports describing the current status of all
such outstanding punchlist, dispute and/or retainange matters.
4.6    Final Disbursement. The Borrower shall, within two (2) Business Days
after the Final Completion Date, instruct the Disbursement Agent to instruct the
Account Banks to apply (X) all remaining Reserved Amounts in the Accounts to the
repayment of the Loans in the manner set forth in Section 2.13(d) of the Loan
Agreement (which, in accordance with Section 2.12(c) of the Loan Agreement,
shall be made without any prepayment penalty, premium or similar charge), (Y)
all remaining funds in the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account, if any,
toward Debt Financing Costs until Exhausted, and (Z) all remaining Excess
Reserved Amounts to Borrower, it being agreed that such funds shall constitute
the last dollars used. If the Borrower shall fail to provide such instruction,
the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to provide such instruction. At the request of the Borrower, and at
the Borrower’s expense, the Building Loan Proceeds Account, the Building Loan
Company Funds Account and the

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disbursement Accounts may be closed following the transfers contemplated in this
Section 4.6, and the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account may be closed when
all amounts on deposit therein are Exhausted, and in any such case the
Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly
deliver such notices to the applicable Account Banks under the applicable
Control Agreements as are necessary to close the applicable Accounts and
terminate the applicable Control Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Borrower shall also be permitted to close an Account in connection with the
substitution of an Account Bank pursuant to Section 12.17.
4.7    Cash Collateral Posting. The Borrower may from time to time request the
Disbursement Agent to disburse funds from the Building Loan Proceeds Account or
Building Loan Company Funds Account for a Cash Collateral Posting, and the
Disbursement Agent shall comply with such request, provided, however, that the
Borrower has provided the Disbursement Agent with a written certification that
(a) such request complies with the definition of Cash Collateral Posting, (b) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or will result from
such Cash Collateral Posting), and (c) the Project will be In Balance before and
after giving effect to such Cash Collateral Posting. Section 12.17.
4.8    Disbursements in Respect of Entertainment Village. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the portion of the Project known as the “Entertainment Village”
shall be constructed pursuant to EV Contracts to be entered into after the
Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disbursements
shall be made hereunder in respect of amounts intended to be applied toward the
“EV Construction Contract” Line Item or in respect of EV Architect fees and
amounts under the “Architect and EV Architect Fees” Line Item unless and until
the following conditions have been satisfied:
(a)    For Disbursements in respect of amounts intended to be applied in respect
of EV Architect fees and amounts under the “Architect and EV Architect Fees”
Line Item, EV Subsidiary shall have entered into the EV Architect’s Agreement,
and in connection therewith the Company has satisfied all of the provisions of
Section 6.3 hereof; provided, however, that Disbursements not exceeding $250,000
in the aggregate and that are to be applied toward architectural work needed for
the Entertainment Village may be made prior to the execution of the EV
Architect’s Agreement, provided that all conditions for Disbursement are
otherwise satisfied hereunder (other than, for the avoidance of doubt,
certifications that would have otherwise pertained to the EV Architect’s
Agreement by the EV Architect or other third party), and provided that such
amounts are allocated to the “Architect and EV Architect Fees” Line Item;
(b)    For Disbursements in respect of amounts intended to be applied toward the
“EV Construction Contract” Line Item, EV Subsidiary shall have entered into the
EV Construction Contract, and in connection therewith the Company has satisfied
all of the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof; provided, however, that
Disbursements not exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate and that are to be
applied toward site work needed for the Entertainment Village may be made prior
to the execution of the EV Construction Contract, provided that all conditions
for Disbursement are otherwise satisfied hereunder (other than, for the
avoidance of doubt, certifications that would have otherwise pertained to the EV
Construction Contract by the EV Contractor, the EV Architect or

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other third party), and provided that such amounts are allocated to the “EV
Construction Contract” Line Item;
(c)     Subject to the provisos in clauses (a) and (b) above, EV Contractor, EV
Architect and Construction Consultant shall have provided certificates
substantially similar to certificates that would otherwise have been provided by
Construction Manager, Architect and Construction Consultant were such
Disbursements to have been made in respect of the Construction Management
Agreement;
(d)    EV Subsidiary shall countersign each Disbursement Request and any other
certificates hereunder pertaining to Disbursements in respect of the
Entertainment Village, all other conditions hereunder with regard to
Disbursements generally shall be satisfied, and each such certificate or
requirement pertaining to the Construction Management Agreement and/or the
Construction Manager shall similarly apply to the EV Construction Contract
and/or the EV Contractor, and each such certificate or requirement pertaining to
the Architect shall similarly apply to the EV Architect, mutatis mutandis; and
(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, no Realized Savings shall be attributable to
the “EV Construction Contract” Line Item prior to the execution of the EV
Construction Contract.
5.    Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants on
the Closing Date and on the date of each Disbursement, for the benefit of the
Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, as follows:
5.1    In Balance. The Project is In Balance.
5.2    Sufficiency of Interests and Project Documents.
5.2.1    Other than those services to be performed and materials to be supplied
that can be reasonably expected to be commercially available when and as
required, each Loan Party (a) owns or holds under lease or pursuant to easements
all of the property interests and have entered into all documents and agreements
in respect thereof required as of the date this representation is made or deemed
made, and (b) has no knowledge of facts that would lead a reasonable person to
conclude that the Loan Parties will be unable to, when required, enter into any
document or agreement, in each case necessary to develop, construct and complete
the Project and own, lease and/or possess and operate the Project on the
applicable Mortgaged Property in accordance with all applicable laws, Applicable
Permits and other legal requirements and the Project Schedule and as
contemplated in the Loan Documents and the Project Documents.
5.2.2    The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have been provided
access to true, complete and correct copies of each of the Key Construction and
Design Contracts in effect or required to be in effect as of the date this
representation is made or deemed made (including all exhibits, schedules, side
letters and disclosure letters referred to therein or delivered pursuant
thereto, if any). On the Closing Date, the Project Documents listed on Exhibit J
constitute all of the Key Construction and Design Contracts that have been
entered into as of the Closing Date and are necessary for the construction or
operation of the Project (excluding

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Construction Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business for
services or materials that are easily obtained from replacement contractors or
vendors on similar terms). On the date of each Disbursement, the Project
Documents listed on Exhibit J or, if any Loan Party has entered into any Key
Construction and Design Contracts after the Closing Date, the Project Documents
listed on an amended Exhibit J delivered to the Disbursement Agent, the
Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant prior to the date of such
Disbursement, constitute all of the Key Construction and Design Contracts that
have been entered into as of the date of such Disbursement and that are
necessary for the construction or operation of the Project (excluding
Construction Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business for
services or materials that are easily obtained from replacement contractors or
vendors on similar terms). Each Key Construction and Design Contract listed on
Exhibit J (as such Exhibit may be amended from time to time as noted above) is
in full force and effect, enforceable against the Persons party thereto in
accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium
and other similar laws and principles of equity.
5.2.3    All conditions precedent to the obligations of the respective parties
(other than a Loan Party) under the Key Construction and Design Contracts to
which a Loan Party is a party that are in effect as of the date this
representation is made or deemed made have been satisfied, except for such
conditions precedent (a) the failure of which to be satisfied would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) which by their
terms cannot be met until a later stage in the construction of the Project, and
the Borrower has no reason to believe that any such condition precedent (other
than those the failure of which to satisfy could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect) cannot be satisfied on or prior to the
appropriate stage in the development or construction of the Project.
5.3    Building Budget; Building Loan Cost Schedule.
5.3.1    The Building Budget (a)  is, to the Borrower’s knowledge, based on

will be prepared in good faith and with due care, (c) sets forth, for each Line
Item, the total costs anticipated to be incurred to achieve the Casino Opening
Date on or before the Scheduled Casino Opening Date, to achieve Completion on or
before the Scheduled Completion Date, and to achieve Final Completion promptly
thereafter, (d) fairly represents in all material respects the Borrower’s
reasonable expectation as to the matters covered thereby as of its date, and
(e) sets forth the total amount of Building Loan Costs, including contingencies.
5.3.2    To the Borrower’s knowledge, the aggregate anticipated costs to
complete the “Work” under the Construction Management Agreement as set forth in
the anticipated cost report to be provided (from time to time) by the
Construction Manager to the Borrower under the Construction Management
Agreement, and as reasonably approved by the Construction Consultant, is not
greater than the amount set forth for the then-applicable “Construction
Management Agreement” Line Item in the Building Loan Cost Schedule (as in effect
from time to time), and from and after the execution of the EV Construction
Contract, the aggregate anticipated

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

costs to complete the work thereunder shall not be greater than the aggregate
amount set forth for the then-applicable “EV Construction Contract” Line Item in
the Building Loan Cost Schedule.
5.3.3    The Building Loan Cost Schedule (as in effect from time to time) is
true and correct in all material respects, has been prepared in good faith with
due care, fairly represents the Borrower’s reasonable expectations as to the
matters set forth therein, and sets forth each of the items described in clauses
(a) through (c) of Section 6.5.
5.4    Force Majeure. Neither the business nor the properties of the Borrower
nor any Loan Party nor, to the Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person party to a
Key Construction and Design Contract is affected by any Force Majeure Event that

5.5    Project Schedule. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the Project
Schedule accurately specifies in summary form the work that the Borrower
proposes to be completed in each calendar quarter from the Closing Date through

updated Section 22 Lien Law Affidavit is required to be filed by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 6.1.4 of this Agreement.
6.    Covenants. The Borrower covenants and agrees, with and for the benefit of
the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, to comply with each of the following provisions:
6.1    Amendments to Building Budget. The Building Budget for the Project may be
amended from time to time only in the manner set forth herein and subject to the
limitations and satisfaction of the requirements in Section 4.1.2(m). Subject to
the limitations and satisfaction of the requirements of Section 4.1.2(m), the
Borrower shall have the right, from time to time, to amend the Building Budget
without the consent of the Construction Consultant, the Collateral Agent, the
Disbursement Agent or the Administrative Agent to change the amounts allocated
for specific Line Items in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that, at any time, the Remaining
Costs with regard to a particular Line Item of the Building Budget shall exceed
the Remaining Budgeted Amount with respect to such Line Item, then the Borrower
shall, within the next thirty (30) days or on or prior to the next succeeding
submission of a Disbursement

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Request (whichever occurs first), amend the Building Budget in accordance with
the provisions hereof to eliminate such excess; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Total Budgeted Amount with
respect to the “Debt Financing Cost” Line Item may not be modified (except in
conjunction with an extension of the Scheduled Casino Opening Date and/or Casino
Opening Deadline pursuant to Section 6.15 hereof) without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. With respect to any
amendment of the Building Budget: (a) the Borrower may not add any new Line Item
or modify the description of any Line Item, without the consent of the
Administrative Agent in consultation with the Construction Consultant (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (b) for each
Line Item, the Remaining Budgeted Amount must equal or exceed the Remaining
Costs contemplated by such Line Item, and (c) the requirements of
Section 4.1.2(m) shall be satisfied with respect to any such amendment which
results in a change to the Section 22 Lien Law Affidavit.
6.1.1    Sources of Funds for Line Item Increases. A Line Item in the Building
Budget may be increased only if the funds for such increase are made available
in the Building Budget from one of the following categories (provided, however,
that any increases to a Line Item in the Building Budget resulting from Scope
Changes may not be paid for with funds described in clause (d) below, but may be
paid for with funds described in clauses (a), (c) and (f) below in any amount,
and may be paid for with funds described in clauses (b) and (e) below in an
aggregate amount, when aggregated with amounts permitted under Section 6.1.1 of
the Project Disbursement Agreement, do not exceed the Scope Change Limit):
(a)    any Realized Savings from another Line Item, or any Project Budget
Realized Savings;
(b)    the reduction of the “Building Contingency” Line Item in the Building
Budget;
(c)    additional Cash equity irrevocably contributed to the Borrower after the
Closing Date in a manner not prohibited by the Loan Agreement, or  Cash proceeds
of Subordinated Indebtedness (to the extent permitted under the Loan Agreement)
provided to the Borrower after the Closing Date, in each case, deposited (and
recorded as such) in the Building Loan Company Funds Account (excluding amounts
funded pursuant to the Completion Guaranty);
(d)    amounts funded pursuant to the Completion Guaranty; or
(e)    Contingency Transfers utilizing amounts under the “Project Contingency”
Line Item in the Project Budget; or
(f)    Contingency Transfers utilizing amounts under the “Flex Contingency” Line
Item in the Project Budget.
6.1.2    Building Budget Amendment Process. Any amendment to the Building Budget
shall be in writing. Any such amendment shall identify with reasonable
particularity (a) the Line Item to be increased or decreased (if any), (b) the
amount of the increase or decrease

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(if any), (c) in the event of an increase in a Line Item, the source proposed to
be utilized to pay for the increase in accordance with Section 6.1.1, and (d) in
the case of a decrease in a Line Item, the Realized Savings in the amount of
such decrease. The parties acknowledge that a portion of any cost reduction
achieved with respect to the work performed under a Construction Contract or
subcontract may be payable to the Construction Manager or another Contractor or
subcontractor under such Construction Contract or subcontract (subject to the
conditions contained in the Construction Management Agreement, such other
Construction Contract or subcontract with respect to application of savings),
and that, in such case, the entire reduction may not become Realized Savings.
Construction Line Items may be reduced only upon obtaining, and in the amount
of, Realized Savings. Any amounts of Realized Savings, contingency amounts or
previously allocated reserves so identified for use in connection with a
particular Line Item thenceforth shall be deemed dedicated to the particular
Line Item, unless and until the Building Budget is amended to reduce the amounts
budgeted for the Line Item of the Building Budget. In the event Project Budget
Realized Savings is utilized as a source for any Line Item increase hereunder,
then there shall be a corresponding amendment to the Project Budget pursuant to
Section 6.1 of the Project Disbursement Agreement reflecting such reallocation
of funds.
6.1.3    Building Budget Amendment Certificate. The Borrower shall submit the
Building Budget amendment to the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent by an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit C (a “Building Budget Amendment Certificate”), together with the
certificates of the Construction Manager and EV Contractor (for the Construction
Management Agreement and EV Construction Contract, respectively, if modified by
such Building Budget amendment) and the Construction Consultant, substantially
in the form of Exhibits 1 and 2 to the Building Budget Amendment Certificate. If
the Building Budget amendment requires the filing of an amended Section 22 Lien
Law Affidavit, the Borrower shall also satisfy the requirement of
Section 4.1.2(m) as a condition of the effectiveness of such Building Budget
amendment. Upon submission of such Building Budget Amendment Certificate,
together with the Exhibits thereto, and the filing of the Section 22 Lien Law
Affidavit in accordance with Section 4.1.2(m) and Section 6.1.4, if applicable,
such amendment shall become effective hereunder, and the Building Budget for the

Opening Date and/or the Casino Opening Deadline in effect as of the Closing
Date, (i) Borrower shall amend the Building Budget in a manner consistent with
the provisions of Section 4.1.2(m) and Section 6.1.2 to increase the Total

6.2    Construction Contract Amendment Process. The Borrower shall not enter
into or approve any Construction Contract Amendment except as set forth in this
Section 6.2. The Borrower shall have the right from time to time as provided
below, to amend or permit the amendment of any Construction Contract including
to change the scope of work for any portion of the Project and/or the Borrower’s
payment obligations in connection therewith.
Any Construction Contract Amendment that (i) results in a cost increase in a Key
Construction and Design Contract in excess of $500,000 individually or, when
taken together with all other Construction Contract Amendments, results in a
cost increase of $1,500,000 in the aggregate, (ii) when taken together with all
related Construction Contract Amendments and after giving effect to any new,
related Construction Contracts, results in a material lessening of the scope or
quality of the work constituting the design or construction of the Project, or
(iii) when taken together with all additions hereunder and under Section 6.2 of
the Project Disbursement Agreement, results in the likely addition of three
(3) or more weeks to the Project Schedule (any such amendment described in
clauses (i) through (iii) above, a “Material Construction Contract Amendment”)
shall be in writing and shall identify with reasonable particularity all changes
being made.
The Borrower shall not permit any Material Construction Contract Amendment to
become effective unless and until:
(a) the Borrower and all Contractors party thereto have executed and delivered
to the Disbursement Agent, the Construction Consultant, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent the Material Construction Contract Amendment (with the
effectiveness thereof subject only to satisfaction of the applicable conditions
in clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) below);
(b) the Borrower has submitted the Material Construction Contract Amendment to
the Disbursement Agent and the Administrative Agent together with an Officer’s
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Construction Contract
Amendment Certificate”), together with the certificates of the Construction
Consultant, the Construction Manager (to the extent the Material Construction
Contract Amendment relates to any Construction Contract to which the
Construction Manager is a party), the EV Contractor (to the extent the Material
Construction Contract Amendment relates to any Construction Contract to which
the EV Contractor is a party) and the Architect substantially in the forms of
Exhibits 1 through 3 to such Construction Contract Amendment Certificate;
(c) if the Material Construction Contract Amendment will result in an amendment
to the Building Budget, the Borrower shall have complied with the requirements
of Section 6.1;

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) if the Material Construction Contract Amendment will cause the Project to no
longer be In Balance, then the Borrower shall have complied with the
requirements of Section 6.4;
(e) if the Material Construction Contract Amendment will result in an amendment
to the Project Schedule, then the Borrower shall have complied with the
requirements of Section 6.15 to the extent applicable; and
(f) if the Borrower delivered a payment or performance bond with respect to the
applicable Key Construction and Design Contract, then, if requested by the
Construction Consultant, the Borrower shall deliver a consent to such Material
Construction Contract Amendment from the surety under such bond. Construction
Contract Amendments which are not Material Construction Contract Amendments
shall not require compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.2
or the approval of the Administrative Agent or any other Person to be effective.
However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.2 shall relieve
the Borrower from complying with the other provisions of this Agreement or the
provisions of the Loan Agreement.
6.3    Construction Contracts Entered into after the Closing Date. The Borrower
may, from time to time after the Closing Date, enter into Construction Contracts
consistent with the Final Plans and Specifications and the Building Budget (as
each is in effect from time to time). Each such Construction Contract shall be

Construction and Design Contract have executed and delivered the Key
Construction and Design Contract (with the effectiveness thereof subject only to
satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 6.3.2, 6.3.3, 6.3.4 and 6.3.5);

Contract, together with an Officer’s Certificate in substantially the form of
Exhibit H (an “Additional Construction Contract Certificate”) and all exhibits,
attachments and certificates required thereby;

to the Collateral Agent) as any Contractor party to such Key Construction and
Design Contract may be required to provide to the Borrower pursuant to such Key

Administrative Agent and otherwise commercially reasonable, and shall name the
Collateral Agent as a co-obligee or beneficiary, as applicable); and
(c) duly executed consents to collateral assignment (each, a “Consent”) from

(x) the amount to be paid to the Contractor under such Key Construction and
Design Contract and all related Construction Contracts with the same Contractor
is less than $5,000,000, or (y) where the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion has waived such requirement in writing;

Construction Consultant, the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent and (b) shall have complied with the requirements of
Section 6.1;

6.3.5    if entering into such Key Construction and Design Contract will result

the extent permitted under, and subject to the limitations in, the Loan
Agreement) to be provided to the Borrower, and, in each case, the Borrower shall
deposit (and record as such) such funds into the Building Loan Company Funds
Account or, if applicable, the Building Loan Interest Reserve Account in an

additional amount of investment income which the Borrower reasonably anticipates
will accrue on the Building Loan Company Funds Account and the Building Loan

Disbursement Agreement); and
(d) a calculation, certified by the Borrower, of the Remaining Costs with
respect to each Line Item in the Building Budget, and the Available Construction

The Borrower shall not direct, consent to or enter into any Scope Change if such
Scope Change, in the reasonable judgment of the Construction Consultant (based
on its experience, familiarity and review of the Project and the representations
and certifications provided by the Borrower, the Architect, the Construction

as provided in Section 6.1 so that, after giving effect to the proposed Scope
Change, the Project shall be In Balance;
(b) could reasonably be expected to delay the Casino Opening Date beyond the
then-applicable Scheduled Casino Opening Date, or the Completion Date beyond the
then-applicable Scheduled Completion Date;

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G delivered to the
Administrative Agent, with a copy to the Disbursement Agent and the Construction
Consultant; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of clause (d) of
this Section 6.6 shall only apply to Scope Changes if the aggregate amount of

any document or contract resulting in a Recovery Event with respect to the
Project, the Borrower shall (a) promptly upon discovery or receipt of notice
thereof provide written notice thereof to the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent, and (b) diligently pursue on a commercially
reasonable basis all its rights to compensation against all relevant insurers,

Borrower with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, in consultation
with the Construction Consultant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed). Any such Restoration Proceeds deposited into the Building Loan
Company Funds Account and/or Building Loan Disbursement Account shall be applied
(x) to the extent permitted hereunder, to pay Building Loan Costs pursuant to
the requirements of Section 4, or (y) to the extent required under the Loan
Agreement, to prepay the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
application of Restoration Proceeds hereunder shall be subject to the terms of

incapable of, or prevent the Borrower from (i) achieving the Casino Opening Date
on or before the Scheduled Casino Opening Date or the Completion Date on or
before the Scheduled Completion Date, or (ii) meeting any material obligation
under the Key Construction and Design Contracts as and when required thereunder;

pursuant to its respective Construction Contract, until such time as the
applicable Contractor Subject to Retainage shall have completed fifty percent
(50%) of the work under its respective contract; (b) thereafter, not less than
five percent (5%) of each payment made to such Contractor Subject to Retainage
pursuant to its respective Construction Contract, until such time as the

utility or other easements, if any, that would materially interfere with the
construction or maintenance of the improvements within the Project to be removed
as expeditiously as possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall
remove such easements before they interfere in any material respect with the
prosecution, in accordance with the Project Schedule, of the work involved with
the Project, and in any event, prior to the Casino Opening Date.
6.15    Project Schedule Amendments. The Borrower may, from time to time, amend
the Project Schedule; provided, however, that any such amendment that has the
effect of extending the Scheduled Casino Opening Date or the Scheduled
Completion Date shall be subject to the following:

time, amend the Project Schedule to extend the Scheduled Casino Opening Date, 
as follows:
            a.         The parties acknowledge that as of the Closing Date, the
Scheduled Casino Opening Date and the Casino Opening Deadline are both March 1,

this Section 6.15 shall result in a simultaneous, day-for-day extension of the
Casino Opening Deadline, such that the two dates shall at all times remain the

            b.         In no event shall the Scheduled Casino Opening Date (and,
correspondingly, the Casino Opening Deadline) be extended beyond September 1,

required (and in an amount sufficient for) the Project to be In Balance, and
shall have amended the Building Budget in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof and
the Project Budget in accordance with  Section 6.1 of the Project Disbursement
Agreement, in each case with respect to the changes in each such budget that
will result from the extension of the Scheduled Casino Opening Date and Casino
Opening Deadline hereunder; provided however, that for the purpose of satisfying
clause (b)  of the definition of “In Balance” hereunder, the proceeds of:
(i) Realized Savings hereunder;
(ii) Project Budget Realized Savings;

Project Disbursement Agreement) with respect to the changes in the Building
Budget (and Project Budget, respectively) that will result from the extension of
the Scheduled Completion Date. including the requirement that the Project be In

requires an extension of the Scheduled Casino Opening Date, then Borrower shall
also comply with the provisions of Section 6.15.1 above. For the avoidance of
doubt, any extension of the Casino Opening Deadline and the Scheduled Completion
Date in accordance with this Section 6.15 shall not modify any of Borrower’s
obligations under this Agreement or under all applicable terms and provisions of

Secured Parties any obligation to see to the proper application of such amounts
by the Borrower. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely for the payment
of Costs of Improvement in accordance with the Lien Law of the State of

diligently pursued until the breach or default is remedied; and

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B)    no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such
breach or default if the Borrower provides written notice to the Collateral

acceptable to the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Construction
Consultant) for the affected party (if in the reasonable judgment of the
Disbursement Agent or the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the
Construction Consultant) a replacement is necessary);
(1)    the Borrower enters into a replacement Key Construction and Design
Contract in accordance with Section 6.3 on terms no less beneficial to the

seventy-five (75) days of such breach (if in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Construction Consultant) a
replacement is necessary and the applicable counterparty has not theretofore
cured its breach); provided, further, however, that the replacement Key
Construction and Design Contract may require the Borrower to pay amounts to the
replacement obligor in excess of those that would otherwise have been payable
under the breached Key Construction and Design Contract if such additional
payments in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in consultation
with the Construction Consultant, do not cause the Project to fail to be In
Balance; and
(3)    such breach or default, after considering any replacement obligor and
replacement Key Construction and Design Contract and the time required to
implement such replacement, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect
(h)    any of the Key Construction and Design Contracts to which any Loan Party
is a party shall have terminated, become invalid or illegal, or otherwise ceased
to be in full force and effect (other than in the ordinary course at the end of
its stated term); provided, however, that (i) with respect to the Construction
Management Agreement, the Borrower shall be permitted fifteen (15) Business Days
in which to cure such contract termination, invalidity, illegality or cessation,
and (ii) with respect to any Key Construction and Design Contract to which any
Loan

54

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Party is a party other than the Construction Management Agreement, no Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such termination,
invalidity, illegality or cessation if the Borrower provides written notice to
the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Disbursement Agent
promptly upon (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after) the
Borrower or any Loan Party becoming aware of such Key Construction and Design
Contract terminating, becoming invalid or illegal, or otherwise ceasing to be in
full force or effect, that the Borrower intends to replace such Key Construction
and Design Contract (or that replacement is not necessary) and:
(A)    the Borrower obtains a replacement obligor or obligors reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, for the affected party (if in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the
Construction Consultant, a replacement is necessary);
(B)    the Borrower enters into a replacement Key Construction and Design
Contract in accordance with Section 6.3, on terms no less beneficial to the
Borrower and the Secured Parties in any material respect than the Key
Construction and Design Contract so terminated, invalidated, deemed illegal or
ceased (or otherwise as reasonably satisfactory to the Disbursement Agent and
the Administrative Agent), within sixty (60) days of such termination,
invalidity, illegality or cessation (if in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Construction Consultant, a
replacement is necessary); provided, however, that the replacement Key
Construction and Design Contract may require the Borrower to pay additional
amounts to the replacement obligor that would have otherwise been payable under
the terminated Key Construction and Design Contract if such additional payments
in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the
Construction Consultant, do not cause the Project to fail to be In Balance; and
(C)    such termination, invalidity, illegality or cessation, after considering
any replacement obligor and replacement Key Construction and Design Contract and
the time required to implement such replacement, has not had and could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i)    the Borrower shall abandon the Project or, for a consecutive period in
excess of ten (10) days (excluding for purposes hereof the period during which a
Force Majeure Event has occurred and is continuing, provided that the Borrower
has provided notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Disbursement Agent
and the Construction Consultant and such other information as any such party may
reasonably request), otherwise cease to pursue the construction, development or
operations of the Project;
(j)    the Construction Consultant shall at any time reasonably determine (based
on its experience, familiarity and review of the Project and information and
schedules provided by the Borrower and the Contractors) that either the Casino
Opening Date is likely to occur later than

55

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seventy-five (75) days after the Scheduled Casino Opening Date, or that the
Completion Date is likely to occur later than seventy-five (75) days after the
Scheduled Completion Date, which Default shall not have been remedied, whether
by amendment to the Scheduled Casino Opening Date or Scheduled Completion Date
in accordance with Section 6.15 or otherwise, within thirty (30) days of notice
of such determination by the Construction Consultant; or
(k)    failure to achieve the Casino Opening Date on or before the Scheduled
Casino Opening Date or the Completion Date on or before the Scheduled Completion
Date (as the same may have been extended pursuant to Section 6.15).
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agent or the Disbursement Agent may, without further notice of
default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of non-payment or
dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind, all such notices and demands
being waived (to the extent permitted by applicable law), exercise any or all
rights and remedies at law or in equity (in any combination or order that such
Persons may elect, subject to the foregoing), including without limitation or
prejudice to such Person’s other rights and remedies, (x) subject to the terms
and provisions of Section 3.2, refuse, and such Persons shall not be obligated,
to make or cause to be made any Disbursements or make or cause to be made any
payments from any Account or other funds (whether or not held by the
Disbursement Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower), and (y) exercise any and
all rights and remedies available under any of the Loan Documents.
8.    Limitation of Liability.
(a) The Disbursement Agent’s responsibility and liability under this Agreement
shall be limited as follows:
(i) the Disbursement Agent does not represent, warrant or guaranty to the
Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders the performance of the
Borrower, the Construction Consultant, the Architect, any Contractor or provider
of materials or services in connection with construction of the Project;
(ii) the Disbursement Agent shall have no responsibility to the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as a consequence of
performance by the Disbursement Agent hereunder except for any bad faith, fraud,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Disbursement Agent (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment);
(iii) the Borrower shall remain solely responsible for all aspects of its
business and conduct in connection with its property and the Project, including,
but not limited to, the quality and suitability of the Plans and Specifications
(and Final Plans and Specifications), the supervision of the work of
construction, the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all
architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and
property managers, the accuracy of all applications for payment, and the proper
application of all Disbursements;

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv) the Disbursement Agent is not obligated to supervise, inspect or inform the
Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Contractors, the
Construction Consultant or any third party of any aspect of the construction of
the Project or any other matter referred to above; and
(v) the Disbursement Agent owes no duty of care to the Borrower, the
Construction Consultant, any Contractor or any other Person to protect against,
or to inform any such party against, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or
defective design or construction of the Project.
(b)    The Disbursement Agent shall have no duties or obligations hereunder
except as expressly set forth herein (including with respect to review of the
substantive terms and conditions of any contracts delivered to the Disbursement
Agent), shall be responsible only for the performance of such duties and
obligations, shall not be required to take any action otherwise than in
accordance with the terms hereof, and shall not be in any manner liable or
responsible for any loss or damage arising by reason of any act or omission to
act by it hereunder or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including, but not limited to, any loss that may occur by reason of
forgery, false representations or any other reason, except for its own bad
faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment). The
Disbursement Agent shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to make or
cause to be made any Disbursement required hereunder upon the delivery of the
applicable Disbursement Request or other written instruction, duly acknowledged
by the Disbursement Agent, to the applicable securities intermediary or account
bank under the applicable Control Agreement in respect of the applicable Account
or Accounts from which such Disbursement is to be made, and the Borrower hereby
constitutes and appoints the Disbursement Agent its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to give such instructions, and this power of attorney shall be
deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
(c)    The Disbursement Agent shall have no liability for the failure of any
such securities intermediary or account bank (including but not limited to any
Account Bank) to comply with any Disbursement Request or other written
instructions. Copies of any Building Budget Amendment Certificate, Contract
Amendment Certificate, Final Plans and Specifications Amendment Certificate or
Additional Construction Contract Certificate that are provided to the
Disbursement Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall not be
construed as requiring the Disbursement Agent’s approval of, nor shall the
Disbursement Agent be liable or in any way responsible for, the Building Budget,
Construction Contract or Final Plans and Specifications associated therewith. In
addition, the Disbursement Agent shall have no responsibility to inquire into or
determine the genuineness, authenticity, or sufficiency of any certificates,
documents or instruments submitted to it in connection with its duties
hereunder, and shall be entitled to deem the signatures on any such
certificates, documents or instruments submitted to it hereunder as being those
purported to be authorized to sign such certificates, documents or instruments
on behalf of the parties hereto, and shall be entitled to rely upon the
genuineness of the signatures of such signatories without inquiry and without
requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim
against the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent (and each of their affiliates, and each of their and their affiliates’
officers, directors, agents and employees) for special, indirect, consequential
or

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement, instrument
or transaction contemplated hereby. In taking or omitting to take any action
hereunder, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice or
statement of counsel (including statements of counsel to the Borrower) and shall
incur no liability in following such advice or statement. The Disbursement Agent
agrees to engage the Construction Consultant for the purpose of taking the
actions to be taken under this Agreement by the Construction Consultant. The
Construction Consultant shall be required to act reasonably and in good faith in
making determinations and carrying out its duties, rights and responsibilities
hereunder. In addition, the parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall
not incur any liability from its acts or omissions hereunder, and the Collateral
Agent is hereby released from any such liability, except to the extent such
liability results from the fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment).
9.    Indemnity; Protections and Immunities.
(a)        The Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Disbursement Agent and its affiliates and its and its affiliates’ officers,
directors, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and
against any and all claims, actions, obligations, liabilities and expenses,
including defense costs, investigative fees and costs, reasonable legal fees
(limited to not more than one primary counsel, one local counsel, and one gaming
counsel, and excluding the cost of in-house counsel), and claims for damages,
arising from the Disbursement Agent’s performance under this Agreement (but
specifically excluding any claims for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages) except to the extent that such liability, expense, action,
obligation or claim is attributable to the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or
willful misconduct of an Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). In addition, the Borrower
agrees to indemnify the Disbursement Agent as an “Agent” in accordance with
Section 9.05 of the Loan Agreement, and hereby agrees that the Disbursement
Agent shall be deemed an “Agent” and entitled to each of the benefits and
remedies of an “Agent” under such Section, which is hereby incorporated by
reference. The foregoing indemnities in this Section 9 shall survive the
resignation or substitution of the Disbursement Agent or the termination of this
Agreement. The Borrower shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties, and their respective affiliates and their respective
affiliates’ officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any
proceedings that any person institutes against the Borrower, the Disbursement
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, and/or the other Secured
Parties alleging a violation of the Lien Law and/or Section 22 Lien Law
Affidavit, except to the extent such failure to file was the result of the bad
faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Disbursement Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties(as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment). The indemnity and other obligations of the Borrower under this
Section 9 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that
represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    The Administrative Agent is executing this Agreement solely as
administrative agent under the Loan Agreement. All rights, privileges,
protections and immunities in favor thereof under the Loan Documents are
incorporated herein by reference, unless such rights, privileges, protections
and immunities are specifically set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall
have no liability relating to any action or inaction of the Disbursement Agent,
the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or any other party pursuant to this
Agreement. The Collateral Agent is executing this Agreement solely as collateral
agent. All rights, privileges, protections and immunities in favor thereof under
the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, unless such rights,
privileges, protections and immunities are specifically set forth herein. The
Collateral Agent shall have no liability relating to any action or inaction of
the Administrative Agent, the Disbursement Agent, the Borrower, or any other
party pursuant to this Agreement.
10.    Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) “payment in full” of all
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; and (b)  the
time when (i) every Account hereunder has been closed in accordance with Section
4.6, and (ii) every “Account” (as defined in the Project Disbursement Agreement)
has been closed in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that
the obligations of the Borrower under Section 9 of this Agreement shall survive
termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the termination
of this Agreement as set forth above, the Accounts shall no longer be required
to be subject to a Control Agreement.
11.    Substitution or Resignation of the Disbursement Agent.
11.1    Procedure. A resignation or removal of the Disbursement Agent and
appointment of a successor Disbursement Agent shall become effective as provided
in this Section 11.
11.1.1    The Disbursement Agent may resign in writing at any time and be
discharged from all duties hereunder upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to
all parties hereto. Such resignation shall become effective on the date
specified in such notice regardless of whether a replacement Disbursement Agent
has been appointed at such time. The Administrative Agent may remove the
Disbursement Agent as provided below by so notifying the Disbursement Agent and
the Borrower in writing no less than fifteen (15) days prior to such removal,
if:
(a)    the Disbursement Agent is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered by such court with
respect to the Disbursement Agent under any Debtor Relief Law;
(b)    a custodian or receiver takes charge of the Disbursement Agent or its
property; or
(c)    the Disbursement Agent becomes incapable of acting in its capacity as
disbursement agent hereunder, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent.

59

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.1.2    If the Disbursement Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Disbursement Agent for any reason, the successor Disbursement
Agent shall be appointed in accordance with Section 8.08 of the Loan Agreement
(and the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such appointment unless a successor Disbursement Agent has already been
appointed pursuant to a court in accordance with Section 11.1.3). Any such
successor Disbursement Agent shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
11.1.3    If a successor Disbursement Agent does not take office within thirty
(30) days after the retiring Disbursement Agent resigns or is removed, then the
retiring Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Disbursement Agent; provided that until a successor Disbursement Agent has been
so appointed, the Collateral Agent shall act as the Disbursement Agent
hereunder.
11.1.4    A successor Disbursement Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of
its appointment to the retiring Disbursement Agent (if applicable), the
Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, and upon the later
of (a) delivery of such written acceptance and (b) the effective date of the
resignation or removal of the prior Disbursement Agent pursuant to Section
11.1.1, such successor Disbursement Agent shall have all the rights, powers and
duties of the Disbursement Agent under this Agreement. Any resigned or removed
Disbursement Agent shall promptly transfer all nonproprietary documents held by
it in its capacity as Disbursement Agent and necessary for the transitioning of
its duties to any successor Disbursement Agent.
11.2    Successor Disbursement Agent by Merger, etc. If the Disbursement Agent
consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another entity, then the successor entity,
without any further act, shall be the successor Disbursement Agent.
11.3    No Consent of Borrower. Subject to Section 11.1, the Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to change the party acting as the “Disbursement Agent”
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the
consent of the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent agrees to provide written
notice to the Borrower of any such change.
11.4    Eligibility; Disqualification. The Borrower shall ensure that each
Account Bank with respect to the Accounts is at all times a bank chartered under
the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust and banking power, that
is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and
that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition; provided, however, that,
if any Account Bank at any time fails to meet such qualifications, such failure
shall not constitute a Default so long as the Borrower promptly replaces such
Account Bank in accordance with Section 12.17.

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.    Miscellaneous.
12.1    Delay and Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
remedy accruing upon the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default or any
other breach or default by the Borrower under this Agreement shall impair any
such right, power or remedy of the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of
any such Default, Event of Default, breach or default, or an acquiescence
therein, or in any similar Default, Event of Default, breach or default
thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single Default, Event of
Default or other breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other Default,
Event of Default or other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.
Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of
any of the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of any Default, Event of Default or other breach or default under
this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any of the Disbursement Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any provision or
condition of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to
the extent in such writing specifically set forth and any such waiver shall not
constitute a continuing waiver of similar or other Defaults, Events of Default,
breaches or defaults, nor shall any such waiver constitute a waiver by any other
party with respect to such breach or default. All remedies under this Agreement
or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be cumulative and not
alternative.
12.2    Invalidity. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting or impairing the validity, legality or
enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and to the extent possible, such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be deemed replaced by a
provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the
intention of such invalid or unenforceable term, and any such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
12.3    No Authority. The Disbursement Agent shall not have any authority to,
and shall not make any warranty or representation or incur any obligation on
behalf of, or in the name of, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or
any of the Lenders.
12.4    Assignment. Subject to Section 11 hereof and Section 8.08 of the Loan
Agreement, this Agreement is personal to the parties hereto, and the rights and
duties of any party hereunder shall not be assignable except with the prior
written consent of the other parties. In any event, this Agreement shall inure
to and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
12.5    Benefit. The parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,
but no others, shall be bound hereby and entitled to the benefits hereof.
12.6    Time. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement.
12.7    [Intentionally Omitted.]

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

house counsel and any fees incurred as a result of the bad faith, fraud, gross

unappealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction), and such
payment shall not be unreasonably delayed.
12.12    Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF
LAWS PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OTHER THAN THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).
12.13    Consent to Jurisdiction.
12.13.1    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State
court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City,
Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent, the Disbursement

action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
12.13.2    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient

12.13.3    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of

Administrative Agent of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this
Agreement which requires any Governmental Action, the Borrower shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, or will cause the
execution and delivery of, all applications, certifications,

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

instruments and other documents and papers that the Disbursement Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in
connection with such Governmental Action.
12.15    Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of any of
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by the Disbursement Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, such obligations shall be reinstated
and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned.
12.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN

PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND

written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Disbursement Agent and the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have the right to substitute the
Account Bank with respect to any Account with another bank satisfying the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 11.4 and otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Disbursement Agent so long as
(a) all funds on deposit in the account held by such replaced Account Bank are
moved to the newly opened account at the replacement bank, (b) the Borrower
grants Liens over the newly opened account to the Collateral Agent (on behalf of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), and (c) the replacement bank enters
into control agreements substantially in the form of the control agreements to

Bank with respect to any Account in accordance with this Section 12.17, the
Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly
deliver such notices to the applicable Account Bank that has been replaced that
are reasonably necessary to close the applicable Accounts therewith and
terminate the applicable Control Agreements pertaining thereto.
