Purchase of Fee at

 

 

Las Vegas Property

 

If the Borrower, S&W Restaurant Group or any Affiliate acquires fee ownership of

simultaneously with such acquisition, receive (in substitution of the Lender’s
leasehold deed of trust) a fee deed of trust (the “Las Vegas Fee Deed of Trust”)
encumbering the Las Vegas Property and securing, among other things, the Loan,
which Las Vegas Fee Deed of Trust shall be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Lender.  The Las Vegas Fee Deed of Trust shall have such priority with
respect to the Lender’s other fee deed(s) of trust on the Las Vegas Property as
the Lender shall determine; or, at the Lender’s option, the Lender may
consolidate the Las Vegas Fee Deed of Trust with one or more of the Lender’s
other fee deed(s) of trust.  In addition, upon the making of the Las Vegas Fee
Deed of Trust, the Lender shall receive a reaffirmation from the Borrower and
the Guarantors of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Lender.  To the extent the Lender determines
that the acquisition of the fee interest in the Las Vegas Property has any
bearing on the Lender’s security with respect to the Loan, the Lender shall be
entitled to a new (or amended) title insurance policy, a new survey and such
other documents or due diligence items with respect to the Loan as are parallel
with those being delivered in connection with the balance advance to be made
under the Other Loan Agreement.

Section 7.06  Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall
become effective on the Effective Date and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lender and their

interest on any or all of such obligations to an amount in excess of that
permitted to be charged by applicable law then in effect, then all such sums
determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without
penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of such
obligations or, at the Lender’s or such holder’s option, promptly returned to
the Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination.

State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto

any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may

arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

owing to it).  The Lender may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any
information relating to the Borrower and the Guarantors furnished to the Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrower or either Guarantor.  In addition, the terms of
the Note relating to participations of the Note shall be applicable to
participations of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The
Lender represents that as of the date hereof, it has no present intention of
assigning its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided, however, the
foregoing shall in no way impair or otherwise alter the Lender’s rights under
this Section.

Adverse Effect with respect to the Borrower or either Guarantor, including,
without limitation, curing any defaults under the License Agreement or the
Sublicense Agreements.

 

Section 7.17  Other Loan Agreement.  The parties agree that the Loan shall be a
permitted “Debt”, and the Collateral Documents (as they relate to the Borrower
and the Las Vegas Property) shall be permitted “Liens” as those terms are used
in that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of August 23, 2002 among the
