the date on which the requirements of Section 2.3.(a)(iv) are satisfied), each Lender will make
available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in
immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Tranche B Loan to be made by such Lender. Unless
the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such

Section 2.4 Letters of Credit.



(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,

the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but
excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date one or more letters of credit (each a
“Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to
exceed the L/C Commitment Amount. Each Letter of Credit shall be allocated to either Tranche A or

Effective Date shall be allocated to Tranche A.



(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and

to approval by the Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the
expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (i) the date one year from its
date of issuance or (ii) the Termination Date; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a
provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice
of non-renewal from the Agent but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the
expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date.


 


- 30 -









 





(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Agent
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) at least 5 Business Days prior
to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable
detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or
obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth
with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, (iii)
expiration date and (iv) whether such Letter of Credit will be allocated to Tranche A or Tranche B.
If the notice fails to specify a tranche, the Borrower shall be deemed to have specified that the
Letter of Credit will be allocated to Tranche A if the allocation of such Letter of Credit to Tranche A would not
cause the sum of the outstanding principal amount of Tranche A Loans and the outstanding principal
amount of Tranche A Letter of Credit Liabilities to exceed the Tranche A Commitments. . No Letter
of Credit may be used to support or pay any obligations (including contingent obligations) with
respect to any Indebtedness. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary letter of
credit application forms as requested from time to time by the Agent. Provided the Borrower has
given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection, and subject to the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article VI. and delivery to the Agent of all items required to be delivered
in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit (including, without limitation the
requirements of clauses (1) — (4) of this Section 2.4.(c), if applicable), the Agent shall issue
the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated
beneficiary. The Agent shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (x)
such Letter of Credit would cause the aggregate outstanding amount of Loans under the tranche to
which it is allocated plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Liabilities allocated to such
tranche to exceed the aggregate Commitments under such tranche, (y) such issuance would conflict
with, or cause the Agent or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law or (z)
such Letter of Credit will be used to pay or support any obligations with respect to any
Indebtedness. In addition, the Agent shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of
Credit if any Lender is then in default of its obligations to fund under Section 2.4.(e) or Section
2.4.(j) or is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, unless cash collateral or other credit support
satisfactory to the Agent has been pledged or otherwise provided to the Agent in respect of such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in such requested Letter of Credit or the Agent has otherwise
entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Agent to eliminate the Agent’s risk with respect to
such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and
as an additional condition to the issuance of Tranche B Letters of Credit, no Tranche B Letter of
Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such Tranche B Letter of Credit, the
sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B Loans that have been advanced
(including without limitation any Tranche B Loan advanced pursuant to Section 2.4.(e) to reimburse
demands for payment under Letters of Credit) plus (II) the aggregate amount of all Tranche
B Letters of Credit that have been issued (including without limitation such Tranche B Letter of
Credit proposed to be issued), in each case regardless of any Tranche B Loan repayments, any
reductions or cancellations of Tranche B Letters of Credit and any payments of Reimbursement
Obligations, would exceed the NY Secured Amount, unless and until the NY Borrowers (1)
execute and record such amendments to the NY Mortgage or such additional mortgage(s) on the NY
Properties, (2) pay such additional mortgage recording or other applicable tax, (3) furnish such
title insurance endorsements or policies and (4) take such other action including but not limited
to the execution and delivery of such documents, instruments, affidavits, declarations and
agreements, in each case as the Agent may require in order for all outstanding Tranche B Loans and
all outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities allocated to Tranche B to be and remain fully secured
by the NY Mortgage and such additional mortgage(s). References herein to “issue” and derivations
thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any
outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of
the Borrower, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within
a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent
any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the
term of such Loan Document shall control.


 


- 31 -









 





(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Agent from the beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by the Agent as a result of such demand and the date
on which payment is to be made by the Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand;
provided, however, the Agent’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge
the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Agent for the amount of each demand
for payment under such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by
the Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities
of any kind (other than notice as provided in this subsection). Upon receipt by the Agent of any
payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender
that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of Section 2.4.(i) such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment.



(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the
immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent whether or not the
Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Agent for the
amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely
request for such borrowing of Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans (as designated in the Borrower’s
notice of borrowing) as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower
fails to so advise the Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions
contained in Section 2.3.(a)(iv) and Article VI. with respect to Loans made under the tranche to
which such Letter of Credit has been allocated would permit the making of Loans under such tranche,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Loans under such tranche (which shall
be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Agent shall
give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Loan under such tranche to be made available to
the Agent not later than the applicable time specified in Section 2.4.(j) and (ii) if such
conditions would not permit the making of Loans under such tranche, the provisions of subsection
(j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations of Section 3.7.(a) shall not apply to any
borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.



(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Agent of any
Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the
Commitment of each Lender (under the applicable tranche of such Letter of Credit) shall be deemed
to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit
plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement
Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of
Credit and making payments under Letters of Credit against such documents, the Agent shall only be
required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with
examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it
has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes
all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective
beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations
in respect of the Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in
connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of
Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective
for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex,
telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical
terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by
the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders. None of the above
shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers
hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not
create against the Agent or any Lender any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this
regard, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under any Letter
of Credit, and to repay a Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding
subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document
under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions
therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter
of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the
Borrower may have at any time against the Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of
contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any
demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection
therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or
misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such
Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the
Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.9., but not in limitation of
the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under a Letter
of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay a Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of
the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the
Agent or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Agent or such Lender arising solely
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender in respect of a
Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any
rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Agent of any amendment, supplement or other
modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this
Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request
therefor be made through the Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall
be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied
with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or
modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required by Section 13.6.)
shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other
modification, the Borrower shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section
3.8.(b).



(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the
Agent of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
purchased and received from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Agent
with respect to such Letter of Credit, and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally
obligated to the Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the
Agent’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a
Lender to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following
subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the
Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the
Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and
(ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest
or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than
the Fees payable to the Agent pursuant to the third and last sentences of Section 3.8.(b)). The
Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower with respect to any Letter of Credit shall be a Letter of
Credit Liability under the tranche to which such Letter of Credit is allocated.



(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent
on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of each drawing paid by the Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount
is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4.(d); provided, however, that in respect
of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to
fund, whether as a Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of
Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., then such Lender shall make such
payment available to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise,
such payment shall be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding
Business Day. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection,
and the Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and
shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i)
the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial
condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of
Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(h) or 11.1.(i) or (iv) the
termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Lenders. The Agent shall periodically deliver to the Lenders
information setting forth the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Other than as
set forth in this subsection, the Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the
issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Agent
to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations
under Section 2.4.(j).



Section 2.5 Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Tranche A Loan made by such Lender to or for

of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Agent shall give notice thereof

(i) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans plus
the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (A) the

prepayment be applied, first to prepay any Tranche A Loans, then second, to
prepay any Tranche B Loans; and if the Borrower has failed to specify the tranche of Letter
of Credit Liabilities to which any remainder is to be applied (after all Loans have been

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any Business Day,

written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of
indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of

the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities allocated to such tranche) at any time and
from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than 5 Business Days’ prior written

sufficient to cause the balance of available funds on deposit in the Collateral Account to equal
the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account.

Section 3.4 Sharing of Payments, Etc.



If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan, or shall
obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the
exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or
through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by a Loan Party to a
Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to
the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., Section 3.3. or Section 11.4., as applicable,
such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the
extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other
Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time
to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such
payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or
preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., Section 3.3. or Section 11.4.,
as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves
(by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored. Each of the Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct
interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed by such Borrower to such other Lenders may
exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such
participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or
shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such
right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower, and the provisions of
this Section 3.4. shall not be construed to apply to (i) any cash collateral or other credit
support provided to the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.4.(c) or
Section 3.13.(b)(y) or (ii) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.13.(b).

“Receipts”) shall be managed as provided in this Section 3.5; provided that fee and reimbursement
payments under management contracts received by Morgans Hotel Group Management LLC shall not be
deemed to be “Receipts” for purposes of this Section 3.5.

into a Lockbox Account or (y) within one (1) Business Day after receipt by Holdings, the Borrower
or any such Subsidiary, deposited into a Lockbox Account, in each case in accordance with
procedures and arrangements acceptable to the Agent and subject only to such changes as may be
approved in advance by the Agent; provided, that if the Lockbox Account into which the Receipts are
either paid or deposited pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above is an Initial Lockbox Account, such
Receipts shall be swept into the Borrower Lockbox Account within one (1) Business Day after being
either paid or deposited into such Initial Lockbox Account.

(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges that it waives and shall have no right to
object to or seek to delay or to cause any application of any Receipts deposited and/or paid into
the Lockbox Account or any transfer of funds in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.5.



(c) Each of Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges that the Lockbox Account will be subject to
the control of the Agent and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may direct the
disposition of funds in the Lockbox Account without further consent of the Borrower.



(d) At all times after the Lockbox Account has been established when there are no unpaid fees
and expenses then due and owing to the Agent, no unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and
no Event of Default is continuing, the Agent shall automatically cause all of the available balance
in the Lockbox Account to be released to the Borrower, such release to be made as promptly as
practicable to such deposit account as the Borrower may designate. Funds are not available if, in
the determination of the Agent, they are subject to a hold, dispute or legal process preventing
their withdrawal, are not “collected funds” or, if funds are made available by the Agent in its
sole discretion prior to such funds being “collected funds”, are subject to a reserve established
by the Agent for settlement of funds and returned items. Each of Holdings and the Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Agent may debit the Lockbox Account for any entries, whether
credit or debit, that are subsequently returned for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything else in this Section 3.5. to the contrary, the Agent shall be permitted to comply with any
writ, levy order or other similar judicial or regulatory order or process concerning the Lockbox
Account or any check or other payment instruction and shall not be in violation of this Section
3.5. for so doing.



(e) To the extent that any Receipts are not sent directly to the Lockbox Account but are
received by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the Lockbox Account has been
established, such Receipts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and remitted as
promptly as practicable (and in any event, no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt
thereof) in the form received, to the Lockbox Account. Each of Holdings and the Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that its compliance with the terms of this Section 3.5. is essential.



(f) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and makes each of the
officers of the Agent the true and lawful attorney for each of Holdings and the Borrower (without
requiring any of them to act as such) with full power of substitution to endorse the name
of Holdings or the Borrower upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other
instruments for the payment of money that are payable to Holdings or the Borrower. In addition, if
Holdings or the Borrower breaches its obligation hereunder to direct Receipts to the Lockbox
Account, the Agent, as the true and lawful attorney for Holdings or the Borrower, may, by the
signature or other act of any of the Agent’s officers (without requiring any of them to do so),
direct any account debtor or other applicable Person to make payments of or with respect to
Receipts to the Lockbox Account.

Section 3.6 Several Obligations.



No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to
perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the
failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by
it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform
any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.



Section 3.7 Minimum Amounts.



(a) Borrowings and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4.(e), each
borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing, Conversion and Continuation of LIBOR
Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess of that amount.

aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding).



(c) Reductions of Commitments. Each reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.12.
shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in
excess thereof.



(d) Letters of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at
least $750,000.



Section 3.8 Fees.



(a) Unused Fee. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused
facility fee with respect to the average daily difference between the (i) aggregate amount of the
Commitments and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans plus the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities (the “Unused Amount”). Such fee shall be computed by
multiplying the Unused Amount with respect to the applicable quarter (x) for all times prior to the
Fifth Amendment Effective Date, by one quarter of one-percent (0.25%) and (y) for all times on or
after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, by one-half of one-percent (0.50%). Such fee shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September or December of each calendar
year. Any such accrued and unpaid fee shall also be payable on the

Commitments to zero.


 


- 45 -









 





(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of
each Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR
Loans (or while an Event of Default exists, at a per annum rate equal to 4.0%) times the daily
average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) through and including the date such Letter of Credit expires
or is terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full and is not
subject to reinstatement, as the case may be. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on (i) the last day of March, June,
September and December in each year, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) the date the Commitments are
terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Agent. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account and not the account of any
Lender, an issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 or
(ii) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of
Credit payable (A) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit
through and including the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (B) if the expiration date
of any Letter of Credit is extended (whether as a result of the operation of an automatic extension
clause or otherwise), for the period from but excluding the previous expiration date to and
including the extended expiration date. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable upon issuance (or in the case of an extension of the
expiration date, on the previous expiration date). The Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent
from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily
charged by the Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

Section 3.10 Usury.



In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations
exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by
any Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the
Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of
the parties hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly,
in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers
under Applicable Law.



Section 3.11 Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.



The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers
for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically
described in Sections 2.5.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto
further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees,
letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage”
charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by
the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, in
each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or
administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred,
by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be
deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money
shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.



Section 3.12 Statements of Account.



The Agent will account to the Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, Letters of Credit,
accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the
Lenders and the Borrowers absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a
statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrowers from any of their respective
obligations hereunder.

Section 3.13 Defaulting Lenders.



(a) Generally. If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) (i) has given
notice to the Agent or Borrower that it will not make, or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any
obligation to make any Loan or fund any participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities (unless such
notice is given by all Lenders) and has not revoked such notice or reaffirmed its obligations to
make any Loan and fund any participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities, (ii) fails, within three
(3) Business Days after request by the Agent, and continues to fail to confirm that it will comply
with the terms of this Agreement relating to its obligations to fund prospective Loans or any
participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities, (iii) has (X) become and remains insolvent or has a
parent company that has become and remains insolvent, (Y) become and continues to be the subject of
a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian
appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval
of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment or has a parent company that has become
and continues to be the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver,
conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or
indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding
or appointment, or (Z) been taken over by the FDIC or any other state or federal regulator or
Governmental Authority, or (iv) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for
performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal
continues for a period of two Business Days after notice from the Agent, then, in addition to the
rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrowers under this Agreement or
Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in
respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into
account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such
failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) or
because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the
Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights
and remedies which the Agent or the Borrowers may have under the immediately preceding provisions
or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (w) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on
such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on
which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (x) to withhold or setoff and to apply in
satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (y) to bring an action or
suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted
amount and any related interest and (z) to request the Borrower to deliver, and the Borrower shall
deliver, to the Agent cash collateral in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share
of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding (to be held by Administrative Agent as set
forth in this Agreement). If the Borrower provides an amount of cash collateral pursuant to
Section 2.4.(c) or Section 3.13.(b)(y), such amount shall be returned to the Borrower from time to
time to the extent, as applicable, the amount deposited as cash collateral shall exceed the
Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender
and continues as a Lender hereunder. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise
affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 3.13., performance by
Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or
otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 3.13. The rights and remedies
against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 3.13. are in addition to other such rights and
remedies which the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender and which the Agent or any
Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a
Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested
by the Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under the following
subsection (b) or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon such Defaulting Lender’s curing of its
default.


 


- 48 -









 





(b) Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender who is not
a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a
portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give
written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than 2 Business Days and not later
than 5 Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one
Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising
such right. If after such 5th Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to
purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, by giving
written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i)
demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b) for the purchase price provided for below or
(ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender (for all purposes other than the
calculation of the sharing of payments pursuant to Sections 3.2., 3.3. and 11.4., and the
determination whether outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the aggregate
Commitments or the Commitments under any tranche), whereupon (1) such Defaulting Lender (a
“Terminated Lender”) shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents other than the right to be paid any outstanding
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender and any expense reimbursement and indemnification, in
each case in accordance with to the terms of this Agreement and (2) the Commitments shall be
reduced by the amount of such Terminated Lender’s Commitment (for all purposes other than the
calculation of the sharing of payments pursuant to Sections 3.2., 3.3. and 11.4., and the
determination whether outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the aggregate
Commitments or the Commitments under any tranche) provided, however, that (y) no such termination
of a Terminated Lender may occur if (A) any Letter of Credit Liabilities (including unreimbursed
amounts and undrawn availability under outstanding Letters of Credit) remain outstanding as of such
date of termination as requested by the Borrower (the “Termination Date”), unless cash collateral
or other credit support satisfactory to the Agent has been pledged or otherwise provided to the
Agent in respect of such Terminated Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit Liability or
the Agent has otherwise entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Agent to eliminate the
Agent’s risk with respect to such Terminated Lender, or (B) such Terminated Lender is also the
Agent hereunder, or (C) on the Termination Date, after giving effect to the reduction in
Commitments by the amount of such Terminated Lender’s Commitment and any payments made by the
Borrower simultaneously therewith, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans,
together with the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the lesser of (Y)
the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time or (z) the Borrowing Base at such time. The
Agent and the Lenders shall not have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or
to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting
Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof
or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to
the effective date of the purchase except to the extent assigned pursuant to such purchase) shall
terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents
reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof,
including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption. The purchase price for the Commitment of a
Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding
and owed by the Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a
Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the
Agent pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (a). The Defaulting
Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents
which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are
received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrowers. There shall be no recourse against any
Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the
Loans.

Section 3.14 Taxes.



(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest on,
the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions,
withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but
excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net
income, receipts or branch profits, (iii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) with respect to
the Agent or a Lender that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or such
Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue
of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document), and (iv) any taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions,
withholdings or other charges to the extent imposed as a result of the failure of the Agent or a
Lender, as applicable, to provide and keep current (to the extent legally able) any certificates,
documents or other evidence required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any such
taxes fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges or required
by the immediately following subsection (c) to be furnished by the Agent or such Lender, as
applicable (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or
deduction from any payment to be made by a Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes
pursuant to any Applicable Law, then such Borrower will:




(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be
so withheld or deducted;




(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation
satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and




(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or
such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.



(b) Tax Indemnification. If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account
of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such
failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or
for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.


 


- 50 -









 





(c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, such
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other
evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued
pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable,
or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such
Foreign Lender establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject
to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal
withholding tax imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Foreign Lender shall, to the
extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate
certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the
Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and
certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. The Borrower
shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to
any Foreign Lender or the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the
United States of America, if such Foreign Lender or the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with
the requirements of this subsection. If any such Foreign Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do
so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from any
payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are
required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not
properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments
made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including
all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements
of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all
disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section
shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation
or replacement of the Agent.

Section 4.3 Frequency of Calculations of Borrowing Base.



Initially, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base
Certificate delivered under Section 6.1. Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set
forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered from time to time under Section 4.2.(bb)
or 9.3.(b). Any increase in the Borrowing Base Value of a Collateral Property shall become
effective as of the next determination of the Borrowing Base as provided in this Section, provided
that (a) the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate substantiates such increase and (b) if the
increase in the Borrowing Base Value is attributable in whole or in part to an increase in the
Appraised Value of a Collateral Property, the Borrower delivers to the Agent prior to the
effectiveness of such increase the following: (i) with respect to any such Collateral Property not
located in a Tie-In Jurisdiction, an endorsement to the title insurance policy in favor of the
Agent with respect to such Property increasing the coverage amount thereof as related to such
Property to not less than 100% of the Appraised Value of such Property and (ii) with
respect to any such Collateral Property located in a Tie-In Jurisdiction, an endorsement to
the title insurance policy in favor of the Agent with respect to such Property increasing the
coverage amount thereof as related to such Property to not less than the Appraised Value of such
Property, as well as endorsements to all other existing title insurance policies issued to the
Agent with respect to all other Properties located in Tie-In Jurisdictions reflecting an increase
in the aggregate insured amount under the “tie-in” endorsements to an amount equal to the aggregate
amount of the Appraised Values of all such Properties but in no event in an amount in excess of the
aggregate amount of the Commitments. Any change in the Borrowing Base Value of a Collateral
Property determined pursuant to an Appraisal described in Section 4.4. or Section 4.5. shall be
effective immediately upon Agent’s delivery of notice to the Borrower that the Agent has accepted
the applicable Appraisal, and shall be reflected in a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting such
new Borrowing Base Value, which certificate shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Agent within
five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Agent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, to the extent that any decrease in the Borrowing Base Value of a Collateral Property
resulting from an Appraisal would require the Borrower to prepay any Loan or cash collateralize any
Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i), such prepayment or cash collateral shall not be due
prior to five (5) Business Days after the date that the Agent has delivered to the Borrower notice
that the Agent has accepted such Appraisal; provided further, however, that nothing
contained in this sentence shall delay the effectiveness of such decrease in the Borrowing Base
Value of a Collateral Property for the purposes of determining whether any condition is met for the
making of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit.



Section 4.4 Frequency of Appraisals.



The Appraised Value of a Collateral Property shall be determined or redetermined, as
applicable, under each of the following circumstances:



(a) The Agent will obtain new Appraisals for each of the Collateral Properties in the first
fiscal quarter of 2010, and such Appraisals shall be at the sole cost of the Borrower;



(b) The Agent will also be allowed to obtain new Appraisals of the Collateral Properties once
every twelve (12) months following the date of the respective Appraisal described in subsection (a)
above, or more frequently if (a) the Agent has a reasonable basis to believe that the value of any
Collateral Property has changed (but in no event more than once every six (6) months) or (b) a
Default or an Event of Default exists. Any such Appraisals will be at the sole cost of the
Borrower. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined as a result of delivery of any new Appraisal
performed under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 4.4. or under Section 4.5. below, in each case to
the extent such Appraisal is accepted by the Agent pursuant to Section 4.3.; and within five (5)
Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Agent that the Agent has accepted such
Appraisal, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the
Borrowing Base after giving effect to the new Appraised Value of any applicable Properties.

(c) Following any “Casualty Event” under and as defined in any Security Deed or any
“Condemnation Event” under and as defined in any Security Deed; and



(d) Upon the Borrower’s written request for a redetermination of the Appraised Value of a
Property, the Agent shall redetermine the Appraised Value of such Property (based on a new
Appraisal of such Property obtained by the Agent), all at the Borrower’s expense; provided, that
the Borrower may request a new Appraisal of a Property pursuant to this subsection only 2 times.



Section 4.5 Additional Appraisals Required under Applicable Law.



If under FIRREA or any other Applicable Law, a Lender is required to obtain an Appraisal of
any Collateral Property in addition to any other Appraisal previously obtained with respect to such
Property pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the right to cause such an Appraisal to
be prepared at the Borrower’s cost and expense. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined as a
result of delivery of any such new Appraisal if Applicable Law requires such redetermination, in
which case the Borrowing Base shall be redetermined in the manner required under such Applicable
Law.



ARTICLE. V Yield Protection, Etc.




Section 5.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.



(a) Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of
each affected Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to
compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to
its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder,
any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of
capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in
amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any
Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its
Commitment (other than taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or
other charges which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of
Section 3.14.(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements
(other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve
requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan) relating
to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such
Lender, or any Commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such
Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital
of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory
Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).



(b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions
of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender
either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of
the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or
a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender
that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a
category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to
Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such
Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall
apply).


 


- 53 -









 





(c) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the
obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without
duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other
requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed,
modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result
shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations
in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of
Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any
Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly,
and in any event within 3 Business Days of demand, to the Agent for its account or the account of
such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Agent or a Lender, such
additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent or such Lender for such increased
costs or reductions in amount.



(d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each
Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the
Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as
promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such
notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a
Lender, to the Agent). The Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case
of a Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of
each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Absent manifest
error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be
conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.



Section 5.2 Suspension of LIBOR Loans.



Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of
Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:



(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason
of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or



(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted
LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR
Loans for such Interest Period;


then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such
condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make
additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower
shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either
cause such Loan to be repaid or cause such Loan to be Converted into a Base Rate Loan.


 


- 54 -









 





Section 5.3 Illegality.



Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for
such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation
to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended
until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the
provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).



Section 5.4 Compensation.



The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such
Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion
of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss (but not lost profits), cost or expense that such
Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:



(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion
of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration)
on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan;



(b) any failure by any Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of
any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be satisfied) to borrow a
LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate
Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or
Continuation; or



(c) any revocation of a notice of termination of Commitments delivered by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.12.



Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide
the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such
compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Absent manifest error,
determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such
determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.5 Treatment of Affected Loans.



If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate
Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., then such Lender’s
LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required
by Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower
with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the
circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:



(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and
prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be
applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and



(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be
made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would
otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.



If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances
specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans
pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding,
then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the
next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so
that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such
Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with
their respective Commitments.



Section 5.6 Change of Lending Office.



Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending
Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in
Section 3.14., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided
thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such
Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a
Lending Office located in the United States of America.



Section 5.7 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.



Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though
such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant
market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount
of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the
foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article V.

other legal entity, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which the character of

taken all necessary action to authorize them, to borrow and obtain other extensions of credit
hereunder. Each Loan Party has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to
authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in
accordance with their respective terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby. The Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and

other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary is in compliance with each Governmental Approval
applicable to it and in compliance with all other Applicable Laws (including without limitation,

(f) Title to Properties; Liens. As of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, Schedule
7.1.(f) is a complete and correct listing of all of the real property owned or leased by Holdings,
the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary. Each such Person has good,

(h) Material Contracts. Schedule 7.1.(h) is, as of the Fifth Amendment Effective
Date, a true, correct and complete listing of all Material Contracts. No event or condition exists
which with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would permit any party to any such
Material Contract to terminate such Material Contract.



(i) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1.(i), there are no actions, suits,
investigations or proceedings pending (nor, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, are there
any actions, suits or proceedings threatened) against or in any other way relating adversely to or
affecting Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any of their
respective property in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other
Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There
are no strikes, slow downs, work stoppages or walkouts or other labor disputes in progress or, to
the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened relating to Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any other Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

properties, income, profits and assets which are due and payable have been paid, except any such
nonpayment which is at the time permitted under Section 8.5. As of the Fifth Amendment Effective
Date, none of the United States income tax returns of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party

related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and net
assets (deficit) for the period of one fiscal quarter ending on such date. Such financial
statements (including in each case related schedules and notes) present fairly, in all material
respects and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the
consolidated financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at their
respective dates and the results of operations and the cash flow for such periods (subject, as to
interim statements, to changes resulting from normal
year-end audit adjustments). Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Fifth
Amendment Effective Date any material contingent liabilities, liabilities, liabilities for taxes,
unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated losses from any unfavorable
commitments that would be required to be set forth in its financial statements or in the notes
thereto, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said financial statements.

Loan Parties is Solvent.

the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and
is in compliance with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code
with respect to each Plan, except in each case for noncompliances which could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, no member of
the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the
Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to
any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to

any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section
4007 of ERISA.



(n) Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transaction. None of the assets of Holdings, the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary constitutes “plan assets” within the meaning
of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
borrowing and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited
transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.



(o) Absence of Defaults. None of the Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any other Subsidiary is in default under its articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership
agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been
remedied, cured or waived, which, in any such case: (i) constitutes a Default or an Event of
Default; or (ii) constitutes, or which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute, a default or event of default by any such person under any agreement (other than
this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which any such Person is a party or by which any
such Person or any of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default
could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the other Subsidiaries has obtained all Governmental Approvals which are required under
Environmental Laws and is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Governmental
Approvals which the failure to obtain or to comply with could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except for any of the following matters that could not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither Holdings nor the Borrower is aware of,
and has received notice of, any past, present, or future events, conditions, circumstances,
activities, practices, incidents, actions, or plans which, with respect to Holdings, the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, may interfere with or prevent compliance or continued
compliance with Environmental Laws, or may give rise to any common-law or legal liability, or
otherwise form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study, or
investigation, based on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport, or handling or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
into the environment, of any Hazardous Material, and (ii) there is no civil, criminal, or
administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice, or demand letter, notice of violation,
investigation, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower after due
inquiry, threatened, against Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary
relating to Environmental Laws.



(q) Investment Company; Etc. None of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any other Subsidiary is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) subject to
any other Applicable Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or to

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any events that would give rise to an Event of Default under
subsections (h), (i), (j) or (k) of this Section 11.1. will not constitute an Event of Default with
respect to a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Loan Party (the “Defaulting Subsidiary”), if

assets other than a direct or indirect interest in one Property (the “Subject Property”) and that
does not have any Indebtedness or other liabilities other than those directly related to the
ownership and operation of the Subject Property, (2) the event giving rise to the Event of Default

Property is not Collateral for any of the Obligations, (4) such Property Debt is non-recourse
to the Defaulting Subsidiary, Holdings, the Borrower and any other Subsidiary, (5) neither

Indebtedness of the Defaulting Subsidiary other than customary “bad boy” nonrecourse carveouts with
respect to the Property Debt, and (6) the Agent has not determined that there is a reasonable basis
for any claim to be asserted, or if a claim has been asserted, has not determined that there is a
reasonable basis for such claim, in either case, against Holdings, the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary (other than a non-recourse claim against the Defaulting Subsidiary) under any such “bad
boy” nonrecourse carveout, under any guaranty or under any other document related to such Property
Debt or any other Indebtedness of the Defaulting Subsidiary;

ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in
the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below).
The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter
of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal
only as provided in this Section.



(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent
in Permitted Investments as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments
and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have
exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the
Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not
have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.



(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of

and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and
apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.4.


 


- 91 -









 





(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent (i) amounts on deposit
in or credited to the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit
Liabilities then due and owing, (ii) the amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account as a result
of payments made pursuant to Section 2.8.(b)(ii) with respect to Tranche A Letters of Credit
exceeds the Tranche A Letter of Credit Liabilities or (iii) the amounts on deposit in the
Collateral Account as a result of payments made pursuant to Section 2.8.(b)(iii) with respect to
Tranche B Letters of Credit exceeds the Tranche B Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Agent
shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within
10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but
without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in
the Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities, Tranche
A Letter of Credit Liabilities, or Tranche B Letter of Credit Liabilities, as applicable, at such
time.



(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally
charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral
Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.




Section 11.6 Performance by Agent.



If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the
Loan Documents, the Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such
covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace
periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly
pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the
Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such
expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have
any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.




Section 11.7 Rights Cumulative.



The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of
them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies
the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the
Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other
power or right.




Section 11.8 Remedies in Respect of Real Estate Security Documents.



If (a) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the Security Deed
or any other Security Document relating to a Collateral Property, (b) an Event of Default shall not
otherwise exist and (c) the Borrower would be permitted to cause such Collateral Property to be
released from the Liens created by the Security Documents applicable to such Collateral Property in
accordance with the terms of Section 4.3., then the Agent shall not be entitled to exercise any
right or remedy it may have under such Security Documents as a result of the occurrence and
continuation such event of default under any such Security Document.

ARTICLE. XII The Agent




Section 12.1 Authorization and Action.



Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual
representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any
action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or
therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized
and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee
or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those
expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender
copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request
of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent
shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act
or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under
any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and
all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the
Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or
remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an
Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under
any provision of this Agreement) have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy.




Section 12.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc.



Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither
the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the
holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed
by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including
its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants
or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not
be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations



 


- 93 -









 






 made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any
Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons (except for the delivery to it of any
certificate or document specifically required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 6.1.) or
inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be
responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any
Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy)
believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.




Section 12.3 Notice of Defaults.



The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or
Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to
this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating
that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also
serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to
the Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”,
the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.




Section 12.4 Wachovia as Lender.



Wachovia, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any
other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent;
and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wachovia in
each case in its individual capacity. Wachovia and its affiliates may each accept deposits from,
maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures
of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any
duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept
fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for services in connection
with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The
Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wachovia or its affiliates may receive
information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person)
and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.


 


- 94 -









 





Section 12.5 Approvals of Lenders.



All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination,
consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender,
(b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination,
approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if
any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or
issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent
not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of
all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in
respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days (or
such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt
of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unless a Lender shall give
written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of
the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the
applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or
consented to such recommendation or determination.




Section 12.6 Collateral Matters.



(a) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any
notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to
take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect
and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.



(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release
any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 13.10. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in
writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Section or any other applicable provision of any of the other Loan Documents.



(c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, and upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower,
the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by all of the Lenders to) execute such
documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred;
provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms
which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or
entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty; and
(ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens
upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale,
all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or
transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the

(d) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to
assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or
insured or that the Liens granted to the Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any
duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available
to the Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that
in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in
any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own interest in the
Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to
the Lenders, except to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.



(e) Upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations in
accordance with Section 13.10. (the “Full Payment”), upon the written request of the Borrower, the
Agent and each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) assign, or sever into two

recourse against the Agent or any Lender and without any covenant, representation or warranty by
the Agent or any Lender and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, pursuant to
instruments or other documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Lenders. In
connection with any transaction contemplated by this Section 12.6., the Borrower shall
submit to the Agent and each Lender for their review, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
date of any assignment of the mortgage or the payment in full of the Obligations, all instruments
and documents to be executed by the Agent or any Lender. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including without limitation all fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any Lender
pursuant to this Section 12.6(e) shall be paid and reimbursed by the Borrowers, jointly and
severally. In addition to any indemnification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or
in any other Loan Document, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Agent, each
Lender and each other Indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,

Section 12.7 Lender Credit Decision, Etc.



Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any
representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency
or other information concerning the business or affairs of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party, any other Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by
the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any
of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial
statements of the Holdings, Borrower, the other Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and
inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan
Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own
counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or
counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and
based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except
for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have
no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Holdings, the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the
Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates.
Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel
to such Lender.




Section 12.8 Indemnification of Agent.



Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s
respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or
arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan
Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable judgment or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite
Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from
the Agent following the advice of counsel to the  Agent



 


- 97 -









 






of which advice the Lenders have received
notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable share of
any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing)
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, or enforcement
of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan
Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents
and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent
and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent, and/or the Lenders arising
under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be
advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the
Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that
the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall
reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in
respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such
reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.




Section 12.9 Successor Agent.



The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event
of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each
Lender and its affiliates as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such
appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the
resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender,
if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total
combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000 and provided no Default or Event of Default exists,
shall be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such
successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such successor Agent shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements
satisfactory to the current Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the
current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.10 Titled Agents.



Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or
obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of
any of the Loans, or for any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of
“Arrangers”, “Syndication Agent”, and other similar titles are solely honorific and imply no
fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender
and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater
than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which
any other Lender is entitled.

Section 13.5 Successors and Assigns.



(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and

following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the

expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of the Agent and

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees (an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:




(i) Minimum Amounts.




(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case
of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no
minimum amount need be assigned; and


 


- 102 -









 






(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the
aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if any of the applicable Commitments is not then in
effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not
be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event
of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).




(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitments assigned, and shall
include the same proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
both Tranche A and Tranche B, so that (after giving effect to such assignment) the assigning
Lender’s remaining Commitment Percentage of Tranche A is equal to its remaining Commitment
Percentage of Tranche B and the assignee’s Commitment Percentage of Tranche A is equal to
its Commitment Percentage of Tranche B. Not in limitation of the foregoing, any assignment
by a Lender of Loans must be of a proportionate amount of Loans owing by a Borrower.

or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist
at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund;




(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment, an
affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and




(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender,

by the Agent.




(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to the immediately following
subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.9. and the other provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.10. with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).



(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and
a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the
Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to
the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.



(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and
the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of any Loan Document described in Section 13.6.(b) that adversely affects
such Participant. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrowers agree that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.14., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 13.3. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 3.4. as though it were a Lender.
Upon request from the Agent, a Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of
any participation hereunder.



 


- 104 -









 






(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 3.14. and 5.1. than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.14. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Agent, to comply
with Section 3.14.(c) as though it were a Lender.



(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.



(g) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of
the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any
circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any
Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America
or of any other jurisdiction.




Section 13.6 Amendments.



(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required
or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given,
and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or
observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement
or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but
only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any
Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto).



(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:




(i) increase the Tranche A Commitments or the Tranche B Commitments of the Lenders or
subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;




(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest
that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;




(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder or postpone any date fixed for
payment thereof;

(iv) modify the definition of the term “Termination Date” or otherwise postpone any
date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other
Obligations (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the
nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due), or extend the expiration date of any
Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date;




(v) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.;




(vi) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise modify in any
other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or
waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation,
any modification of this Section 13.6. if such modification would have such effect;




(vii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as
otherwise permitted by Section 8.11.(b));




(viii) release any of the Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents (except as
otherwise permitted under Section 8.11.(b) or 12.6.); or




(ix) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 2.14.



(c) No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in such
capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the
rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.



(d) No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any
right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 12.5., no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any
Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of
Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any
attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent
to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or
in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to
any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.




Section 13.7 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.



The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the
other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall
have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in
this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any
of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any
Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to
review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’
business or operations.

Section 13.8 Confidentiality.



The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about
Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries, and the Properties
thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the
public, which is furnished to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Agent, the Lenders, and their
respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or
enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, and the Holdings or Borrower, as applicable, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders
may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep
such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.8.); (b) as
reasonably requested by any potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in
connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitments or participations therein as permitted
hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the
terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or
as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors
and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the
information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any
other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon the prior consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) of Holdings or the Borrower, as applicable, to any contractual
counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and (g) to the
extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section actually known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Agent or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential
information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in
connection with any regulatory examination of the Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the
regulatory compliance policy of the Agent or such Lender.




Section 13.9 Indemnification.



(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent,
each of the Lenders, any affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified
Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all of the following
(collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities,
deficiencies, judgments or reasonable expenses of every kind and nature (including, without
limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any
advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages,
liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is
specifically covered by Section 3.14. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such
Section 3.14. or 5.1.) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by
reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent
decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is
in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or



 


- 107 -









 







the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit
hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of the Loans or
Letters of Credit; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that
the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the
Borrowers; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrowers and have or
are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business
operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are
material creditors of the Borrowers and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the
business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition;
(viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection
with defense thereof by, the Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any Subsidiary that violates a sanction enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or
non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental
Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue
Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any
Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or
other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its
respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in
compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (A) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified
Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising
directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against
another Indemnified Party.



(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section 13.9. shall apply to all
Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified
Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this regard, this indemnification shall
cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any
Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production
of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding
commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their
individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by
an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of
any Indemnity Proceeding;
provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower
from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.9.


 


- 108 -









 





(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency
of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.



(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an
Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party
notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled
to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such
Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification
hereunder.



(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate
its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided
above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the
Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or
defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations
and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant
hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any
amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified
Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written
consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity
Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought
against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a
violation of law by such Indemnified Party.



(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are
unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.



(g) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are
in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.


 


- 109 -









 






Section 13.10 Termination; Survival.



At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit
have terminated or expired, (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to
make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the
following sentence and other than Swap Agreements which are not permitted to be secured
by Collateral pursuant to Section 10.6.) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement
shall terminate; provided, however, that in the case of any Swap Agreement secured
pursuant to Section 10.6., if all conditions to termination of this Agreement (other than the
payment and satisfaction of Obligations under such Swap Agreement) have been satisfied, then this
Agreement shall be permitted to be terminated with the consent of each Lender or Affiliate of a
Lender that is a party to such Swap Agreement; provided, further, that such consent
shall not be required with respect to any such Swap Agreement that is no longer held by a Lender or
any Affiliate thereof as of the requested termination date. The indemnities to which the Agent and
the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.14., 5.1., 5.4., 12.8., 13.2. and 13.9.
and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of
Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders
(i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against
events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party
ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior
to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. The Agent agrees to furnish to the
Borrower, upon the Borrower’s request and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any release,
termination, or other agreement or document evidencing the foregoing termination and the release of
the Liens created under any of the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower.




Section 13.11 Severability of Provisions.



Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.




Section 13.12 GOVERNING LAW.



THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.




Section 13.13 Patriot Act.



The Lenders and the Agent each hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements
of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties
and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the
Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with such Act.




Section 13.14 Counterparts.



This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


- 110 -









 






Section 13.15 Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.



The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the
other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the
Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.




Section 13.16 Limitation of Liability.



Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or
agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each of Holdings and
the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any
special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Holdings or the
Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue
the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with,
arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.




Section 13.17 Entire Agreement.



This Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire
agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof
and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or
subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements
among the parties hereto.




Section 13.18 Construction.




The Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers and Holdings acknowledge that each of them has had the
benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers
and Holdings.

The Credit Agreement provides for the acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the
occurrence of certain events and for prepayments of Loans upon the terms and conditions specified
therein.



Except as permitted by Section 13.5. of the Credit Agreement, this Note may not be assigned by
the Lender to any Person.



THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.



This Note is given in replacement and renewal of certain Amended and Restated Notes previously
delivered under the Credit Agreement on which all Florida documentary stamp and non-recurring
intangible taxes have been paid. This Note and the other Tranche A Florida Borrower Notes executed
by the Florida Borrower together renew and reduce the aggregate principal amount evidenced by, and
amend and restate the terms of, those certain Amended and Restated Revolving Notes, in the original
principal amount of $161,000,000, previously executed and delivered by the Florida Borrower. THIS
NOTE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS
OWING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH OTHER NOTE. All required Florida documentary stamp taxes
and non-recurring intangible personal property taxes due with respect to said Amended and Restated
Revolving Notes were paid upon recordation of the First Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated
Mortgage, Security Agreement and Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing (“First Amendment”) dated
as of May 8, 2009 in Official Records Book 26859, Page 4256, Public Records of Miami Dade County,

Borrower Notes are secured, inter alia, by that certain Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and
Restated Mortgage, Security Agreement and Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing dated as of the
date hereof (the “Second Amendment”). No Florida documentary stamp taxes and non-recurring
intangible personal property taxes are due with respect to this Note and the other Tranche A
Florida Borrower Notes because such notes constitute an exempt renewal note pursuant to Florida
Statute § 201.09 and applicable tax regulations, do not enlarge the existing indebtedness evidenced
by the foregoing Amended and Restated Revolving Notes, and all required Florida documentary stamp
taxes and intangible taxes due with respect to the foregoing Amended and Restated Revolving Notes
were previously paid upon recordation of the First Amendment (and the predecessor mortgages
identified therein). A similar notation has been included on the face of the Second Amendment.



The Florida Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice
of non-payment, protest, notice of protest and all other similar notices.




Time is of the essence for this Note.

In our examination of the Loan Documents and the other Documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and
completeness of all of the Documents, the authenticity of all originals of the Documents and the
conformity to authentic originals of all of the Documents submitted to us as copies (including
telecopies). As to all matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed and other statements
made herein, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the Documents, we
have not independently established the facts so relied on, and we have not made any investigation
or inquiry other than our examination of the Documents. This opinion letter is given, and all
statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.



For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that (i) each party to the Loan Documents
(other than the Loan Parties with respect to the Transaction Documents) had or has (as applicable)
all requisite power and authority under all applicable laws, regulations and governing documents to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and
each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Loan Parties with respect to the Transaction
Documents) has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status
relates to its rights to enforce the Loan Documents against the Loan Parties, (ii) each party to
the Loan Documents (other than the Loan Parties with respect to the Transaction Documents) has duly
authorized, executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (iii) each party to
any of the Loan Documents is validly existing and in good standing in all necessary jurisdictions
(except for the Loan Parties in the State of Delaware), (iv) each Transaction Document constitutes
a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against each party (other than the Loan Parties) in
accordance with its terms, (v) there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, or
fraud, duress or undue influence, in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of the
Loan Documents, and the conduct of all parties to the Loan Documents has complied with any
requirements of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability, (vi) there are and have been no
agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is and has been no usage
of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties, that would, in either case, define,
supplement or qualify the terms of the Loan Documents, (vii) each of the Existing Credit
Agreement, Existing Florida Mortgage and Existing Florida Assignment of Leases constitutes the
valid and binding obligation of each party thereto enforceable against each such party in
accordance with its terms immediately prior to the amendment thereof by the Fifth Amendment to
Credit Agreement, the Second Amendment to Florida Mortgage and the Amendment to Florida Assignment
of Leases, as applicable, and our delivery of this opinion to you, and (viii) each Letter of Credit
is (or when issued, will be) a “letter of credit” within the meaning of § 5-102(a)(10) of the UCC
that has been (or when issued, will be) duly issued and constitutes (or when issued, will
constitute) the valid and binding obligation of the issuer thereof enforceable against such issuer
in accordance with its terms. We have also assumed the validity and constitutionality of each
relevant statute, rule, regulation and agency action covered by this opinion letter.

In addition, for purposes of this opinion letter, we have, with your permission, assumed that
the effective annual rate of interest charged on amounts outstanding from time to time under the
Loan Documents (including in such effective annual rate any and all fees, charges and other amounts
of any kind that may be deemed to constitute interest under applicable law, in addition to the
interest charged at the rate(s) provided for under the Loan Documents) will not at any time exceed
25% per annum.



For purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraphs (c)(ii) and (iii), (e)(ii), (f), (n) and
(o) below, we have made the following additional assumptions: (i) that each of Morgans Holdings and
Royalton owns good and valid fee simple title to its real property on which the New York Mortgage
purports to create a mortgage lien (the “Real Property”), (ii) that the Real Property is
located entirely within the County of New York in the State of New York, (iii) that the description
of the Real Property in the Loan Documents and in the Fixture Filing Financing Statements is
accurate and complete and (iv) the ACRIS (Automated City Register Information System) recording and
endorsement cover page has been duly and properly submitted with each of the New York Mortgage
Documents for recording in the real estate records of the County of New York in the State of New
York (the “New York Recording Office”). For purposes of the opinions set forth in
paragraphs (c)(ii) and (iii), (e)(ii), (f), (n) and (o) below, we have further assumed, with your
permission, that each of the New York Mortgage Documents has been duly recorded on the date hereof
in the New York Recording Office and that all applicable mortgage recording taxes and filing fees
now or hereafter imposed thereon or applicable with respect thereto have been duly and timely paid.
We note that actual recordation of the New York Mortgage Documents (i) is contingent upon payment
of any mortgage recording taxes and recording charges and the performance of related actions of a
ministerial nature, including, without limitation, the filing of required tax affidavits, and (ii)
may be contingent upon compliance with practices and procedures of the Office of the City Register
of the City of New York or County of New York not expressly set forth in the Real Property Law of
the State of New York (the “Real Property Law”). We have not made any investigation of and
express no opinion with respect to (i) the title to or the rights or interests of Morgans Holdings
or Royalton in the Real Property, (ii) the state of any zoning or land use with respect to the Real
Property, or (iii) the creation (except as expressly set forth in paragraphs (n) and (o) below),
attachment, perfection (except as expressly set forth in paragraph (o) below) or priority of any
pledge, lien, mortgage or other security interest, assignment or encumbrance that may be created
by, under or pursuant to the New York Mortgage Documents.



For purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraphs (e) and (f) below, we have made the
following additional assumptions: (i) that all orders, judgments, decrees, agreements and
contracts would be enforced as written; (ii) that the Loan Parties will not in the future take any
discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted under the Loan Documents that
would result in a violation of law or constitute a breach or default under any order, judgment,
decree, agreement or contract; and (iii) that all parties to the Loan Documents will act in
accordance with, and will refrain from taking any action that is forbidden by, the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents.



For purposes of the opinion set forth in paragraph (h) below, we have assumed, without any
independent verification or investigation, that none of the Lenders is a broker or dealer under
the Margin Regulations (as defined below).

For purposes of the opinions expressed in paragraphs (i), (j), (k) and (o) (as applicable)
below, we have made the following additional assumptions: (i) that none of the collateral described
in the Security Documents constitutes fixtures (except as provided in paragraph (o) below),
as-extracted collateral, timber to be cut, property of a transmitting utility or a cooperative
interest; (ii) that the filing of the Financing Statement Amendments and the Additional Financing
Statements in the Filing Office, and the filing of the Fixture Filing Financing Statements in the
New York Recording Office, in each case with the appropriate fees and recording taxes (if any)
paid, will occur promptly after the date hereof (and soon enough to qualify as part of a
“substantially contemporaneous exchange” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 547 (c)(1)); (iii) that
pending completion of the filings referred to in the immediately preceding clause (ii), operative
facts (and applicable law) will remain unchanged; and (iv) except for the purposes of the opinions
expressed in paragraph (o), that each Loan Party is a registered organization “organized solely”
under the law of the State of Delaware within the meaning of § 9-102(a)(70) of the UCC. Insofar as
it relates to Subject Collateral constituting proceeds, our opinions in paragraphs (i), (j), (k)
and (o) are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC. We call your
attention to the fact that security interests in certain categories of the Subject Collateral may
be subject to perfection by means other than or in addition to the filing of financing statements.



This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on applicable provisions of the
following, as currently in effect: (i) as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (a)(i), (b),
(c)(i), (d)(i) and(e)(i), as to Holdings, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
“Corporation Law”) and as to each of the other Loan Parties, the Limited Liability Company
Act of the State of Delaware (the “LLC Act”), (ii) as to the opinions expressed in
paragraphs (a)(ii), (c), (e)(ii), (iv) and (v), (f), (n), and (p), subject to the exclusions and
limitations set forth in this opinion letter, internal New York law (“New York Law”), (iii)
as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (a)(iii), (d), (e)(iii), (f) and (l), subject to the
exclusions and limitations set forth in this opinion letter, internal Florida law (“Florida
Law”), (iv) as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (e)(ii)-(iii) and (f), subject to the
exclusions and limitations set forth in this opinion letter, federal statutes and regulations
(“Applicable Federal Law”), (v) as to the opinion given in paragraph (g), the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (vi) as to the opinion expressed in
paragraph (h), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Regulations T,
U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224,
respectively (the “Margin Regulations”), (vii) as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs
(i), (j), (k) and (o), Articles 1 and 9 of the UCC and (viii) as to the opinions expressed in
paragraph (m), Florida Statute Chapters 199 and 201. References to provisions of the UCC
identified based on their section numbers in the Official Text of the Uniform Commercial Code (as
promulgated by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform
State Laws) shall be deemed to be references to the corresponding provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code as currently in effect in the States of Delaware and New York, as applicable.

Based upon, subject to and limited by the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions, and
limitations set forth in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:



(a) (i)(A) Holdings is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing as of the date
of its Good Standing Certificate under the laws of the State of Delaware and (B) each other Loan
Party is validly existing as a limited liability company and in good standing as of the date of its

Qualification Certificate.



(b) Each Loan Party has the corporate or limited liability company power, as applicable, to
execute, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party. The execution,
delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable,
of such Loan Party.



(c) (i) Each of the Transaction Documents (other than the Florida Mortgage Documents) has been
duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party thereto, (ii) each of the
Transaction Documents (other than the Florida Mortgage Documents) constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of each Loan Party that is party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in
accordance with its terms, and (iii) the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Fifth
Amendment to Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), constitutes
a valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is party thereto, enforceable against such
Loan Party in accordance with its terms.



(d) (i) Each of the Florida Mortgage Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the
Florida Borrower, (ii) each of the Florida Mortgage Documents constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Florida Borrower, enforceable against the Florida Borrower in accordance with its
terms and (iii) the Existing Florida Mortgage, as amended by the Second Amendment to Florida
Mortgage (as so amended, the “Amended Florida Mortgage”), constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Florida Borrower, enforceable against the Florida Borrower in accordance with its
terms.



(e) The execution, delivery and performance (i) by each of the Loan Parties on the date hereof
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not violate (A) as to Holdings, the
Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, and (B) as to each of the other
Loan Parties, the LLC Act or its LLC Certificate or LLC Agreement, (ii) by each of the Loan
Parties on the date hereof of the Transaction Documents (other than the Florida Mortgage Documents)

do not violate any provision of Applicable Federal Law or any provision of Florida Law, (iv) by

no opinion with respect to any matters that would require a mathematical calculation or a financial
or accounting determination), or (v) by each of the Loan Parties on the date hereof of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not violate any of the Loan Parties Orders.

(f) No approval or consent of, or registration or filing with, any federal governmental
agency, New York governmental agency or Florida governmental agency is required to be obtained or
made by any Loan Party under Applicable Federal Law, New York Law or Florida Law in connection with
the execution, delivery and performance on the date hereof by such Loan Party of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party (other than any approvals, consents, registrations or filings
necessary for such Loan Party to continue to conduct its business as currently conducted and any
approvals, consents, registrations or filings necessary to perfect the liens and security interests
created under the Loan Documents).



(g) None of the Loan Parties is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.



(h) The execution and delivery of the Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement and the making of
the Tranche A Loans to the Tranche A Borrowers and the Tranche B Loans to the Tranche B Borrowers
pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and the use of the proceeds thereof, each in accordance
with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, do not violate Section 7 of the Exchange Act or the
Margin Regulations.



(i) Each of Security Agreements is effective to create in favor of the Agent a security
interest in the Security Collateral which is the subject of such Security Agreement. Each of the
Assignments of Notes is effective to create in favor of the Agent a security interest in the
Assigned Collateral which is the subject of such Assignment of Notes.



(j) By virtue of the filing of the Existing Financing Statements with, and upon the filing of
the Financing Statement Amendments and the Additional Financing Statements with, the Filing Office,
the security interests in that portion of the Security Collateral in which a security interest may
be perfected currently by the filing of a financing statement under the Delaware UCC will be
perfected. By virtue of the filing of the MG Borrower UCC-1 with, and upon the filing of the MG
Borrower UCC-3 with, the Filing Office, the security interests in that portion of the Assigned
Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected currently by the filing of a financing
statement under the Delaware UCC will be perfected.



(k) The Pledge Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Agent a security interest in
the Pledged Collateral. By virtue of the filing of the Existing Financing Statements with, and
upon the filing of the Financing Statement Amendments with, the Filing Office, the security
interests in that portion of the Pledged Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected
currently by the filing of a financing statement under the Delaware UCC will be perfected.



(l) Each of the Florida Mortgage Documents is in a form that (i) in the case of the Second
Amendment to Florida Mortgage and, to the extent applicable, the Amendment to Florida Assignment of
Leases, complies with Florida Statute Chapter 695 and (ii) is acceptable for recording in the
Office of the Clerk of Court, Miami-Dade County, State of Florida.

(m) The “Notice to Recorder” clause on the first page of the Second Amendment to Florida
Mortgage correctly states the amount of Florida documentary stamp taxes and Florida non-recurring
intangible personal property taxes (“Mortgage Taxes”) which are required to be
paid with respect to the execution and delivery and (as applicable) recordation of the Second
Amendment to Florida Mortgage (“Second Amendment Mortgage Taxes”) assuming the proper
payment of all Mortgage Taxes previously due with respect to the predecessor recorded documents
referenced in the Second Amendment to Florida Mortgage and the Existing Florida Mortgage and
assuming the accuracy of the factual matters (other than the amount of the Second Amendment
Mortgage Taxes) stated in such “Notice to Recorder” clause. Subject to the assumptions in the
preceding sentence, no other fees, taxes or other charges (other than nominal recording fees) will
be due on account of the execution, delivery and ownership of the Second Amendment to Florida
Mortgage and the Amended Florida Mortgage and recordation of the Second Amendment other than the
Second Amendment Mortgage Taxes.



(n) Each of the New York Mortgage Documents is in a form sufficient to comply with the
recording requirements of the Real Property Law. The New York Mortgage is in a form sufficient to
create and constitute a valid lien for the benefit of the Agent on the Real Property, and the New
York Assignment of Leases is in a form sufficient to create and constitute a valid lien for the
benefit of the Agent, on the Leases and Rents (as such terms are defined therein). No transfer,
documentary stamp or similar taxes are required to be paid under New York Law in connection with
the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, except for the payment of the mortgage
recording taxes under Article 11 of the Tax Law of the State of New York. No mortgage recording
taxes under Article 11 of the Tax Law of the State of New York are payable in connection with the
recording in the New York Recording Office of the Assignments of Notes (assuming that the mortgage
recording taxes on the underlying mortgages were duly paid).



(o) The New York Mortgage creates in favor of the Agent a UCC security interest in the right,
title and interest of Morgans Holdings and Royalton in and to the collateral specified therein to
the extent that such collateral constitutes fixtures (the “New York Fixtures”). To the
extent such security interest in the right, title and interest of Morgans Holdings and Royalton in
and to the New York Fixtures can be perfected currently under the UCC by the filing of a financing
statement with the New York Recording Office, the timely filing of the Fixture Filing Financing
Statements with the New York Recording Office will be sufficient to perfect such security interest.



(p) Under New York General Obligations Law §5-501, the Lenders are permitted to charge
interest with respect to the Loans at the stated rate or rates set forth in the Credit Agreement.



Based solely upon the Loan Parties Officers’ Certificate and a review of this firm’s
litigation docket, we are not representing any Loan Party in any pending litigation in which it is
a named defendant that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the
performance of, the Loan Documents.

In addition to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations elsewhere set forth
in this opinion letter, the opinions expressed in paragraphs (c) and (d) above are subject to the

Documents, the Amended Florida Mortgage and the Amended Credit Agreement may not be
enforceable in accordance with their terms, but, subject to the assumptions, qualifications,
exceptions and limitations set forth elsewhere in this opinion letter, such unenforceability would
not render the Transaction Documents, the Amended Florida Mortgage and the Amended Credit Agreement
invalid as a whole or preclude (i) the judicial enforcement of the obligations of (A) the Florida

obligations, or (2) any election of remedies, any act or omission by the Agent, Lenders or their

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



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



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



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


 


J-2









 





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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



 


J-3









 






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



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



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



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



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




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




 


J-4









 





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



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



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



 


J-5









 





Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and
the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but
not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders)

to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of
Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as
amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act
or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent
and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance
Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would
otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied
Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount
which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the
Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other
obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the
Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the
Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other
Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that
would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.



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



Section 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE
FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.




SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.



(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY
GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW
AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH
AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR
AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR

ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.



 


J-6









 





(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT FEDERAL DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR
THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH
JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE
OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET
FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR
ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN
ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.



(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF
COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE
PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.



Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts
setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to
the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding
amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such
books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth
herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and
accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations
hereunder.



Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any
Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or
otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or any
Lender of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other such right or remedy.


 


J-7









 





Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until
indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the other Obligations and the
termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.



Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Agent or the Lenders
shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not
limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this
Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include
such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The
Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign,
transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied
Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without
releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to Section
13.8. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any
Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any
financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of
all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so
consented shall be null and void.



Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE
FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF
EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.



Section 23. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing signed by
the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement),
the Agent and each Guarantor.



Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Principal
Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.



Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be
in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each
Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Agent or any Lender at
its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such
party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties.
Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received;
(ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided,
however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.



Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


J-8









 





Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.



Section 28. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any
affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender, shall have
any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue
any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to,
this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect
of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the
Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by
Credit Agreement or financed thereby.



Section 29.
Definitions. (a) For the purposes of this Guaranty:



“Proceeding” means any of the following: (i) a voluntary or involuntary case
concerning any Guarantor shall be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended; (ii) a
custodian (as defined in such Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy laws) is appointed
for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of any Guarantor; (iii) any
other proceeding under any Applicable Law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, winding-up or composition for adjustment of debts, whether now or hereafter in
effect, is commenced relating to any Guarantor; (iv) any Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or
bankrupt; (v) any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered

shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (viii) any Guarantor shall call a
meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; (ix)
any Guarantor shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or

paid and discharged, the Impositions as provided in Section 8.5. of the Credit Agreement.



(b) Change in Law. If after the date hereof any change in Applicable Law governing the
taxation of deeds of trust, mortgages or security agreements, or assignments of leases or debts
secured thereby or the manner of collecting such taxes shall occur, and Agent reasonably determines
that such change, adoption would adversely affect Agent or the Lenders, Grantor shall promptly pay
any tax resulting from such adoption, change or making on or before the due date thereof. If
Grantor fails to make such prompt payment or if, in the opinion of Agent, Grantor is prohibited
from making such payment or Agent would be penalized if Grantor makes such payment or if the making
of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by
Applicable Law, then the Collateral shall no longer constitute a Collateral Property.



Section 3.11 Repair. Grantor shall protect and preserve the Collateral and
maintain all Collateral in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear
excepted.



Section 3.12 Insurance.



(a) Types of Insurance. Grantor shall procure for, deliver to, and maintain for the
benefit of Agent, or cause the Tenant(s) to procure for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of
Agent, during the term of this Security Instrument original paid up insurance policies or certified
copies of paid up insurance policies (or, if there is blanket coverage, Agent shall require an
underlier policy with the Collateral identified and specifically allocated amounts shown) in such
amounts, form and substance as are required under Section 8.4. of the Credit Agreement.



(b) Insurance Companies, Form of Policies. All insurance policies maintained pursuant
to this Section shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, provided that all policies of
liability coverage shall require not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Agent of any
cancellation, termination, expiration or change in coverage. Without limiting the discretion of
Agent with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or
damage to the Collateral shall contain a standard mortgagee clause (without contribution) naming
Agent as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Agent notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act
or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such
policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Collateral for purposes more
hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by
Agent under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the
Collateral or any portion thereof, such proceeds to be held for application as provided in the

(c) Proof of Insurance. At least 30 days prior to the expiration date of each policy
maintained pursuant to this Section, Grantor shall deliver to Agent a full paid renewal or
replacement thereof reasonably satisfactory to Agent. The delivery of any insurance policies
hereunder shall constitute a collateral assignment of all unearned premiums as further security
hereunder. In the event of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any other transfer of title
to the Collateral in extinguishment of the Obligations, all right, title, and interest of Grantor
in and to all insurance policies then in force with respect to the Collateral shall pass to the
purchaser or Agent.



(d) Grantor’s Statement of Insurance Carried. Grantor shall furnish to Agent on or
before 30 days after the close of each of Grantor’s fiscal year and within 5 days of any request
therefor by Agent, copies of certificates evidencing the amounts of insurance maintained in
compliance with this Paragraph 3.12, of the risks covered by such insurance, and of the insurance
company or companies which carry such insurance



(e) Payment of Proceeds to Agent. While an Event of Default exists, Agent is hereby
authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance
policies maintained pursuant to this Section and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such
policy or policies. Grantor hereby authorizes and directs each insurance company to make payment
for all losses directly to Agent. If any insurance company fails to disburse directly and solely to
Agent but disburses instead either solely to Grantor or to Grantor and Agent jointly, Grantor
agrees immediately to endorse and transfer such proceeds to Agent. Upon the failure of Grantor to
endorse and transfer such proceeds as aforesaid, Agent may execute such endorsements or
transfers for and in the name of Grantor, and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as
Grantor’s agent and attorney-in-fact to do so, such appointment being coupled with an interest and
being irrevocable.



(f) Application of Proceeds. After deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its
actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, Agent shall apply the net proceeds or any
part thereof:




(i) upon the written request of Grantor, towards the restoration of the Collateral
provided that the following conditions (the “Restoration Conditions”) are met to the
reasonable satisfaction of Agent:




(a) in Agent’s judgment, the Collateral can with diligent restoration, be
returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to
the casualty within the earlier to occur of (x) 365 days after the occurrence of the
casualty or (y) 60 days prior to the Maturity Date;




(b) no Event of Default exists;


 


K-14









 






(c) all necessary Governmental Approvals can be obtained to allow the rebuilding
and reoccupancy of the Collateral;




(d) there are sufficient sums available (through net proceeds and contributions
by Grantor, the full amount of which shall, at Agent’s option, have been deposited
with Agent) for restoration or repair; and




(e) any tenant of any Lease affected by such casualty has reaffirmed the Lease
and its obligations thereunder (subject to completion of the restoration); or




(ii) if the Restoration Conditions are not satisfied, to the payment of the
Obligations, whether or not due and as provided in Section 11.4. of the Credit Agreement or
for any other purposes or objects for which Agent is expressly entitled to advance or apply
funds under the Loan Documents;



all without affecting the Lien of this Security Instrument, and any balance of such moneys then
remaining shall be paid to Grantor or whomever may be legally entitled thereto. Agent and Lenders
shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the
terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.



Section 3.13 Restoration Following Casualty. If any act or occurrence of any kind or
nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen (including any casualty for which
insurance was not obtained or obtainable), shall result in damage to, or loss or destruction of,
the Collateral, Grantor shall give notice thereof to Agent immediately and, if so instructed by
Agent and provided that the Restoration Conditions are satisfied and Agent applies the insurance
proceeds (if any) to the restoration, repair or replacement of the Collateral as set forth in
Section 3.12(f), shall promptly, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and regardless of whether the
insurance proceeds (if any) shall be sufficient for the purpose, Grantor shall commence and
continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the Collateral in
accordance with all Legal Requirements as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character
immediately prior to such damage, loss or destruction.



Section 3.14 Hold Harmless. Grantor shall defend, at its own cost and expense, and
hold Agent and Lenders and Trustee harmless from any action, proceeding or claim affecting the
Collateral or the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses incurred by Agent and/or Lenders
and/or Trustee in protecting its interests hereunder in such an event (including all court costs
and attorneys’ fees) shall be borne by Grantor and secured hereby, except to the extent the same
are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender or Trustee, as
applicable.



Section 3.15 Tax and Insurance Escrow. While an Event of Default exists, at Agent’s
option, in order to implement the provisions of Sections 3.10(a) and 3.12 hereof, Grantor shall pay
to Agent monthly, annually, or as otherwise directed by Agent, an amount (“Escrowed Sums”) equal to
the sum of (a) the annual Impositions (reasonably estimated by Agent, wherever necessary) to become
due for the tax year during which such payment is so directed and (b) the
insurance premiums for the same year for those insurance policies as are required hereunder. If
Agent reasonably determines that any amounts paid by Grantor are insufficient for the payment in
full of such Impositions and insurance premiums, Agent shall notify Grantor of the increased
amounts required to provide sufficient funds, whereupon Grantor shall pay to Agent within 10 days
thereafter the additional amount as stated in Agent’s notice. The Escrowed Sums may be held by
Agent in non-interest bearing accounts and may be commingled with Agent’s other funds. Without
limiting the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the option of crediting
the Escrowed Sums against the Obligations.

relating to Grantor or any of the Collateral; (b) conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute a default under the organizational documents of Grantor, or any indenture, agreement or

any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral.

all certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and
approvals of any Governmental Authority or any other Person which are material for the lawful
occupancy and operation of the Property and Improvements or which are material to the ownership or
operation of the Property or the conduct of Grantor’s business. All such certificates of
occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and approvals are current and in
full force and effect.

required for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages on the Property and Improvements have

Grantor agrees that the sale, conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge,
assignment, or other transfer of the Property and Improvements, or any part thereof, without the
written consent of Lenders, shall constitute an event allowing Lender to declare the Obligations
immediately due and payable without notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration or
any other notice or demand.



ARTICLE IV. CONDEMNATION




Section 4.1
Condemnation.



(a) Taking. If all or any portion of the Collateral is taken by condemnation or eminent domain
powers of any Governmental Authority (or any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either
temporarily or permanently, then the award and other proceeds payable in connection therewith shall
be paid to Agent and applied to payment of the Obligations after
deducting any costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent in connection
therewith, or otherwise applied as provided in Section 11.4. of the Credit Agreement.

served or received in connection with such proceedings. Agent shall have the right, at its option,
to participate in such proceedings at the sole cost and expense of Grantor (including without
limitation the Agent’s attorneys’ fees). Grantor shall execute such documents and take such other
steps as required to permit such participation.



(c) Right to Settle Claims. Agent is hereby authorized to adjust, compromise and
collect any condemnation or eminent domain award or settle a claim for damages and to apply the
same to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

proceeds or awards which may become due by reason of any condemnation or other taking for public
use of the whole or any part of the Collateral or any rights appurtenant thereto, and Agent is

restoration of the Collateral; or




(ii) if the Restoration Conditions are not satisfied, to the payment of the
Obligations, whether or not due and as provided in Section 11.4. of the Credit Agreement,

ARTICLE VI. REMEDIES




6.1 Remedies. If an Event of Default exists, Agent may, and at the direction of the
Requisite Lenders shall, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:



(a) Termination of License.




(i) Terminate the License granted to Grantor in Section 8.3 hereof and exercise the
rights, powers and privileges of landlord under the Leases, and then and thereafter, with
or without taking possession of the Collateral, in Grantor’s own name or in the name of
Agent, demand, collect, receive, sue for, attach and levy on the Rents (including demand
for Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs) and give proper receipts,
releases and acquittances therefor.




(ii) Deliver a written demand to any Tenant for payment of Rents, which demand shall
be sufficient evidence of each such Tenant’s obligation and authority to make all future
payments of Rents to Agent without the necessity for further consent by the Grantor.
Grantor, for itself and its agents, covenants and agrees not to countermand any such
written demand to Tenants for payment of Rents.



(b) Entry on Collateral.




(i) Demand that Grantor, and upon such demand Grantor shall, forthwith surrender to
Agent the actual possession of the Collateral, and to the extent not prohibited by
Applicable Law, enter and take possession of all of the Collateral without the appointment
of a receiver, or an application therefor, and exclude Grantor and its agents and employees
wholly therefrom, and have joint access with Grantor to the books, papers and accounts of
Grantor.




(ii) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Collateral or
any part thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may seek a judgment or decree conferring
upon Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate
possession of the Collateral to Agent, and Grantor hereby specifically covenants and agrees
that Grantor shall not oppose, contest or otherwise hinder or delay Agent in any action or
proceeding by Agent to obtain such judgment or decree, Grantor shall pay to Agent, upon
demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable
compensation to Agent, its attorneys and agents, and all such expenses and compensation
shall, until paid, become part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Security
Instrument.




 


K-19









 




 (iii) Upon every such entering on or taking of possession, Agent may hold, store, use,
operate, manage and control the Collateral and conduct the business thereof, and, from time
to time, (A) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs,

renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and
purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, (B)
insure or keep the Collateral insured, (C) manage and operate the Collateral and exercise
all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or
otherwise act with respect to the same, and (D) enter into any and all agreements with
respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Agent, all as
Agent from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Anything in this Security
Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated
to discharge or perform the duties of the landlord to any Tenant or incur any liability as
the result of any exercise by Agent of its rights under this Security Instrument, and Agent
shall be liable to account only for the Rents actually received by Agent.




(iv) Make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of any Lease, remove and evict
any Tenant, increase or decrease Rents under any Lease, appear in and defend any action or
proceeding purporting to affect the Collateral, and perform and discharge each and every
obligation, covenant and agreement of Grantor contained in any Lease, whether or not Agent
takes possession of the Collateral.




(v) Neither the entering upon and taking possession of the Collateral, nor the
collection of any Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall cure or waive any
Event of Default theretofore or thereafter occurring, or affect any notice of an Event of
Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. Neither Agent nor
any Lender shall be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor, or anyone
having an interest in the Collateral by reason of anything done or left undone by Agent
hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection (b) shall require Agent to incur any expense
or do any act. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and
managing the Collateral and/or collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Agent or Lenders
for such purposes shall become Obligations of Grantor to Agent or Lenders, as the case may
be, secured by this Security Instrument. Such amounts, together with interest at the
Post-Default Rate, and attorneys’ fees, if applicable, shall be immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding Agent’s continuance in possession or receipt and application of Rents, Agent
shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Security Instrument or by
Applicable Law upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Any of the actions
referred to in this subsection (b) may be taken by Agent at such time as Agent is so
entitled, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations hereby secured.

 (c) Foreclosure
and Sale. [To be modified based upon state specific requirements] If
the Obligations have been accelerated, sell or direct the Trustee to sell through power of sale, or
institute an action to foreclose this Security Instrument, or take such other action as may be
allowed at law or in equity, for the enforcement hereof and realization on the Collateral or any
other security which is herein or elsewhere in the Loan Documents provided for the Collateral or
any part thereof at one or more sales before the door of the courthouse of the county in which the
Property or any part of the Property is situated, or such other place as is required or permitted
by Applicable Law, without notice except as required or set forth herein or otherwise required by
Applicable Law, to the highest bidder for cash, or to proceed to final judgment and execution

thereon, in order to pay the Obligations, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in
connection therewith, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, all costs of suit, interest at the Post-Default Rate as provided in the Credit
Agreement on any judgment obtained by Agent from and after the date of any sale of the Collateral
(which may be sold in one parcel or in such parcels, manner or order as Agent shall elect) until
actual payment is made of the full amount due Agent and Lenders, without further stay, any law,
usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. At any such sale under power of sale, Trustee may
execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales a trustee’s deed or other
appropriate conveyance of the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in fee simple, with full
warranties of title, and to this end Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Trustee the agent and
attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all
right, title and equity that Grantor may have in and to the Collateral and to vest the same in the
purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales; and all the acts and doings of said agent and
attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or
conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid
power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death
or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for
collection of the Obligations, and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be
exercised until full payment of all of the Obligations. In the event of any sale under this
Security Instrument by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any
order in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in
separate parcels and in such manner or order as Agent in its sole discretion may elect or direct
Trustee to elect, and if Agent so elects, Agent may sell the Personalty covered by this Security
Instrument at one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted in the State of [Insert State], and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted
shall not extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Collateral is sold or the
Obligations are paid in full. If the Obligations are now or hereafter further secured by any
chattel mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security
instruments, Agent may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security
instruments, either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Agent may determine.



Immediately upon the first insertion of any advertisement or notice of any such sale, there
shall be and become due and owing from the Grantor all reasonable expenses incident to said
advertisement or notice, all court costs and all reasonable expenses incident to any foreclosure
proceedings brought under this Security Instrument, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. No party
shall be required to receive only the aggregate indebtedness then secured hereby with the interest
thereon to the date of payment unless the same shall be accompanied by a tender of the said
expenses, costs and commissions.



[NOTE: Deed of Trust to be modified to provide for an amount of Trustee’s fees calculated per
customary reasonable standards used in the State where the Collateral is located].

Agent, may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under the immediately
preceding subparagraph, or elsewhere in this Article VI, either with or without entry or taking
possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by
any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the
Obligations, [the Guaranty] or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of
this Security Instrument or any other right and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it,
all as Agent at its sole discretion shall elect.



(d) Receiver. Agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon application to a court of
competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right, without notice and without
regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party
bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the
Collateral and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The
receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of [Insert
State]. Grantor shall pay to Agent upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees,
attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this
subsection, and any such amounts paid by Agent shall be added to the Obligations and shall be
secured by this Security Instrument.



(e) Performance by Agent. At Agent’s option and without any obligation to do so,
pay, perform or observe any term, covenant or condition of this Security Instrument not paid,
performed or observed by Grantor, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Agent in
connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately
repaid by Grantor to Agent with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate. Agent shall be the
sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Agent is hereby
empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Collateral or any part thereof for the
purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby
becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.



(f) Relief From Automatic Stay. If Grantor is the subject of any insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization, or similar proceeding, federal or state,
voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future Applicable Law, Agent shall be entitled to
relief from the automatic stay as to the enforcement of its remedies under the Loan Documents
against the Collateral, including specifically, but not limited to, the stay imposed by 11 U.S.C.
Section 362, as amended, and Grantor hereby consents to the immediate lifting of any such automatic
stay and will not contest any motion by Agent to lift such stay.



(g) Other. Exercise any and all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under this
Security Instrument (including, without limitation, those set forth in Articles VII, VIII and IX
hereinbelow) or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.



(h) Cessation
of Status as an Eligible Property and as a Borrowing Base Property. The
Collateral shall cease to be an Eligible Property and shall cease to be included in calculations
of the Borrowing Base automatically without any notice from or action
by Agent or Lenders.

Section 6.2 Separate Sales. With respect to sales hereunder, the Collateral may be sold in one
or more parcels and in such manner and order as Agent, in its sole discretion, may

elect or direct Trustee to elect, it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale
arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.



Section 6.3
Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Non-Exclusive. Agent and Lenders
shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in this Security Instrument and available
under Applicable Law (including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code in
effect and applicable to the Collateral or any portion thereof), and if such Event of Default also
constitutes an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, all rights, remedies and recourses
granted in the Loan Documents and available under Applicable Law. All such rights and remedies (a)
shall be cumulative and concurrent, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (b) may be
pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor, Borrower or any other Loan Party
or any other Person, or against any of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or
against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Agent, all to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it
being agreed by Grantor that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be
construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are
intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.



Section 6.4 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Neither Grantor,
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person obligated for payment of all or any part of, or
fulfillment of all or any of, the Obligations, shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of
(a) the failure of Agent or any Lender to comply with any request of Grantor, Borrower, any Loan
Party or any other Person so obligated, to foreclose this Security Instrument or to enforce any
provisions of the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of any of
the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the addition of any other property to such
Collateral, (c) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of any of such
Collateral and Agent extending, renewing, rearranging or in any other way modifying the terms of
the Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of, given notice to or paid any
consideration to Grantor, Borrower, such other Loan Party or such other Person, and in such event,
Grantor, Borrower, all such other Loan Parties and all such other Persons shall continue to be
liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement
unless expressly released and discharged, in writing, by Agent, or (d) by any other act or
occurrence, save and except the complete payment and the complete fulfillment of all of the
Obligations.



Section 6.5 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Agent may release, regardless of
consideration, any part of the Collateral without, as to the remainder of the Collateral, in any
way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing any of the Liens created or evidenced by any
of the Loan Documents or their position as a first and prior Lien in and to the Collateral (as
defined in the Credit Agreement). For payment of the Obligations, Agent may resort to any security
therefor held by Agent in such order and manner as Agent may elect.

Section 6.6 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. Grantor agrees, to the full
extent permitted by Applicable Law, that neither Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under
Grantor will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement,

or

hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Security
Instrument or the absolute sale of the Collateral, the delivery of possession thereof immediately
after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, or the exercise of any other right or remedy
hereunder. Grantor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby
waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such Applicable Laws,
and any and all right to have assets subject to the Lien of this Security Instrument marshaled
upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted or a sale in inverse order of
alienation.



Section 6.7 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Agent shall have proceeded to
enforce any right, power or remedy under this Security Instrument by foreclosure (through Trustee
or otherwise), entry or otherwise, or if Agent commences advertising of the intended exercise of
the sale under power provided hereunder and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been
withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to
Agent, then in every such case (a) Grantor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions
and rights, (b) all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding
had been taken, (c) each and every Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to
such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be and shall be deemed to be a continuing
Event of Default and (d) neither this Security Instrument, nor the Obligations, nor any other Loan
Document, shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such
withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment. Grantor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any
Applicable Law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result
contrary to or in conflict with the provisions of this Section.



Section 6.8 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and
other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, operation or other use of, the Collateral
(including, without limitation, the Leases) shall be applied by Agent (or the receiver, if one is
appointed) as provided in Section 11.4. of the Credit Agreement.



Section 6.9 Leases. Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Security
Instrument subject to the rights of any Tenants of the Collateral under any Leases, and the
failure to make any Tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their
rights shall not be, nor be asserted to be by Grantor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by
Agent to collect the Obligations.



Section 6.10 Purchase by Agent or Lenders. Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all
or any portion of the Collateral under the power of sale herein granted, Agent and/or Lender(s)
may bid for and purchase the Collateral and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the
Obligations as a credit to the purchase price.



Section 6.11 Grantor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such foreclosure
sale or sales under the power herein granted, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and
shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily
dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

Section 6.12 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Agent shall have the power to institute
and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient (a) to prevent any impairment of
the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or constitute an Event of Default under this
Security Instrument, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Collateral and in the Leases
and Rents arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any
legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would
impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Agent.



Section 6.13 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting
Grantor, its creditors or its property, Agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be
entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of Agent allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the
Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount of
the Obligations after such date.



Section 6.14 Occupancy After Foreclosure. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale
pursuant to Section 6.1(c) shall become the legal owner of the Collateral or the portion thereof
foreclosed. All occupants (except those which have previously executed a prior written agreement
with purchaser) of the Collateral or any part thereof shall become tenants at sufferance of the
purchaser at the foreclosure sale and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the
purchaser upon demand, subject to the rights, if any, of Tenants.



Section 6.15 Waiver of Grantor’s Rights. BY EXECUTION OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT,
GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF AGENT AND LENDERS TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS
SECURED BY THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND THE POWER OF SALE GIVEN HEREIN TO AGENT TO SELL THE
COLLATERAL BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND
WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT; (B) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS
PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW,
(1) TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY AGENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN
PROVIDED TO AGENT, EXCEPT SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND (2) CONCERNING THE APPLICATION, RIGHTS OR BENEFITS OF
ANY STATUTE OF LIMITATION OR ANY MORATORIUM, REINSTATEMENT, MARSHALING, FORBEARANCE, APPRAISEMENT,
VALUATION, STAY, EXTENSION, HOMESTEAD, EXEMPTION OR REDEMPTION LAWS; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR
HAS READ THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF GRANTOR REGARDING THE LEGAL EFFECT
OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND ITS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO GRANTOR, AND GRANTOR
HAS
CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT; AND (D)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF GRANTOR HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY,
INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY GRANTOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN TRANSACTION AND THAT THIS

Financing Statements and such further assurances as Agent may, from time to time, reasonably
consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Agent’s security interest herein granted, and
Agent may cause such statements and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places

K-26









 





Section 7.5 No Obligation of Secured Party. The assignment and security interest
herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as a trustee or
mortgagee in possession of the Collateral, to obligate Agent or any Lender to lease the
Collateral or attempt to do same, or to take any action, incur any expense or perform or
discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.



Section 7.6 Information for Fixture Filing. This Security Instrument is also being
filed as a fixture filing with respect to the portions of the Collateral that are or are to become
fixtures relating to the Property or Improvements. Grantor’s exact legal name, type of legal
entity and jurisdiction of formation are as set forth in the first paragraph of this Security
Deed. Grantor’s
organizational identification number is ________. Grantor hereby represents to Agent and
Lenders that since the date of Grantor’s formation, Grantor has not changed its name or merged
with or otherwise combined its business with any Person. Without giving Agent at least 30-days’
prior written notice and to the extent such action is not otherwise prohibited by any of the Loan
Documents, Grantor shall not (a) change its name; (b) reorganize or otherwise become formed under
the laws of another jurisdiction or (c) become bound by a security agreement of another Person
under Section 9-203(d) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.
The information contained in this Section is provided in connection with the requirements of the
Uniform Commercial Code so that this Security Instrument shall serve

“Collateral” above.



ARTICLE VIII. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS




Section 8.1 Assignment. For and in consideration of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00), and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in
order to secure the full and timely payment of the Obligations and the full and timely performance
and discharge of the Obligations, Grantor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED,
TRANSFERRED, SET OVER and DELIVERED, and by these presents does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL,
CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, SET OVER and DELIVER absolutely unto Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
the Leases (whether now existing or entered into after the date hereof) and the Rents, subject only
to the hereinafter described License, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leases and the Rents unto Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Lenders forever, and Grantor does hereby bind
itself, its successors and assigns to WARRANT and FOREVER DEFEND the title to the Leases and the
Rents unto Agent against every Person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part
thereof. If an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right, power and privilege (but shall
be under no duty) to demand possession of the Rents, which demand shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, be sufficient action by Agent to entitle Agent to immediate and direct
payment of the Rents (including delivery to Agent of Rents collected for the period in which the
demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for application as provided herein, all without the
necessity of any further action by Agent, including, without limitation, any action to obtain
possession of the Improvements or the Property. Grantor hereby authorizes and directs the Tenants
under the Leases to pay Rents to Agent upon written demand by Agent, without further consent of
Grantor, without any obligation

to determine whether an Event of Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Agent has
taken possession of any portion of the Property, and the Tenants may rely upon any written
statement delivered by Agent to the Tenants. Any such payment to Agent shall constitute payment to
Grantor under the Leases, and Grantor hereby appoints Agent as Grantor’s lawful attorney-in-fact
for giving, and Agent is hereby empowered to give, acquittances to any Tenants for such payments
to Agent after a default.



 


K-27









 





Section 8.2 Continuation and Termination of Assignment. If Grantor shall pay or cause
to be paid the Obligations as and when same shall become due and payable and shall perform and
discharge or cause to be performed and discharged the Obligations on or before the date the same
are to be performed and discharged in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then this
assignment shall thereupon be terminated and of no further force and effect, and all rights,
titles and interests conveyed pursuant to this assignment shall become revested in Grantor without
the necessity of any further act or requirement by Grantor or Agent; provided, however, an
affidavit, certificate, letter or statement of any officer of Agent stating that any part of the
Obligations remains unpaid and undischarged shall be and constitute conclusive evidence of the
validity, effectiveness or continuing force of the within assignment, and any person, firm or
corporation may, and is hereby authorized to, rely thereon.



Section 8.3 Limited License. Provided that there exists no Event of Default, Grantor
shall have the right under a limited license granted hereby, and Agent hereby grants to Grantor a
limited license (the “License”), to collect, but not prior to accrual, all of the Rents arising
from or out of the Leases, or any renewals or extensions thereof, or from or out of the Collateral
or any part thereof, and Grantor shall receive such Rents, and Grantor hereby covenants that
Grantor shall use and apply all Rents first to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with
the terms thereof and of the Loan Documents, and then to the payment of all Impositions and costs
and expenses of management, operation, repair, maintenance, preservation, reconstruction and
restoration of the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of the Security Instrument and
the obligations of Grantor as the lessor under the Leases, and shall not use such Rents for
purposes unrelated to the Property unless and until all current payments on the Obligations,
Impositions, and such costs and expenses have been paid or provided for.



Section 8.4 Grantor’s Indemnities. Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Agent
and Lenders free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense
which Agent and/or Lenders may incur under or by reason of this assignment, or for any action taken
by the Agent hereunder, or by reason or in defense of any and all claims and demands whatsoever
which may be asserted against Agent and/or Lenders arising out of the Leases (except to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender), including
specifically, but without limitation, any claim by any Tenant of credit for Rents paid to and
received by Grantor, but not delivered to Agent, for any period under any Lease more than 1 month
in advance of the due date thereof. If Agent or any Lender incurs any such liability, loss, cost,
damage or expense, the amount thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon
at the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Grantor to Agent immediately, without demand, and
shall be secured hereby and by all other Loan Documents.


 


K-28









 





Section 8.5 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby further constitutes and
appoints Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Grantor, and in the name, place and
stead of said Grantor, to subject and subordinate at any time and from time to time any Lease or
any part thereof to the lien and security title and security interest of the Security Instrument
or any other mortgage, security deed, deed of trust or security agreement on or to any ground
lease of the Collateral, or to request or require such subordination, where such reservation,
option or authority was reserved to the Grantor under any such Lease, or in any case where the
Grantor otherwise would have the right, power or privilege so to do. The foregoing appointment is
irrevocable and continuing and coupled with an interest, and such rights, powers and privileges
shall be exclusive in Agent and its successors and assigns so long as any part of the Obligations
secured hereby remains unpaid and undischarged. Grantor hereby warrants that Grantor has not at
any time prior to the date hereof exercised any such rights, and Grantor hereby covenants not to
exercise any such right, to subordinate any such Lease to the lien of this Security Instrument or
to any other security deed, mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement or to any ground lease.



Section 8.6 Exculpation of Agent. The acceptance by Agent of this assignment of the
Leases and Rents, with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall
not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Collateral by Agent, be deemed or construed
to constitute Agent a “mortgagee in possession”, nor thereafter or at any time or in any event
obligate the Agent to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases, the
Rents or the Collateral or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any
expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or to assume
any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits delivered to Grantor
by any Tenant and not assigned and delivered to Agent, nor shall Agent be liable in any way for
any injury or damage to persons or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or
corporation in or about the Collateral.



Section 8.7
Cumulative Rights. It is intended by Grantor, Agent and Lenders that the
assignments of Leases and Rents in this Article VIII are cumulative of the rights and remedies set
forth in the Assignment of Leases and Rents, and the Assignment of Leases and Rents and the
provisions of this Article VIII are to be construed accordingly. In the event of a conflict
between the Assignment of Leases and Rents and this Article VIII, the provisions of the Assignment
of Leases and Rents shall govern.



ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS




Section 9.1 Performance at Grantor’s Expense. Grantor shall pay to Agent and Lenders
immediately upon demand all costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection herewith
as provided in Section 13.2. of the Credit Agreement (and Grantor hereby agrees to pay the costs
and expenses of Trustee in connection herewith to the same extent as if Trustee was specifically
included with Agent in the provisions of such Section), and the same shall be secured hereby. For
all purposes of this Security Instrument, Agent’s (and Trustee’s) costs and expenses shall include,
without limitation, all appraisal and re-appraisal fees, legal fees (including, without limitation,
fees for trial, appeal or other proceedings), accounting fees, environmental consultant fees (if
any), auditor fees, and the cost to Agent of any documentary
taxes, recording fees, brokerage fees, title search fees, title insurance premiums and title
surveys (including any such title related fees and premiums incurred in connection with title
updates). In addition, Grantor recognizes and agrees that formal written appraisals of the
Collateral by a licensed independent appraiser may be required by federal regulatory reporting
requirements on an annual or specialized basis, which shall be at Grantor’s expense.




 


K-29









 





Section 9.2 Survival of Obligations. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations shall
have been paid in full; provided however, that nothing contained in this shall limit the
obligations of Grantor as set forth in Section 3.14 and 8.4 herein.



Section 9.3 Recording and Filing. Grantor shall cause the Loan Documents and all
amendments and supplements thereto and substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded
and refiled in such manner and in such places as Agent shall reasonably request and shall pay all
such recording, filing, re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges.



Section 9.4 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be
given pursuant to this Security Instrument shall be made and
delivered as provided in [If Grantor
is Borrower — Section 13.1. of the Credit
Agreement] [If Grantor is Guarantor — the
notice provisions of the Guaranty].



Section 9.5 No Waiver. Any failure by Agent or Lenders to insist, or any election by
Agent or Lenders not to insist, upon strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions
or conditions of this Security Instrument shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any
other term, provision or condition hereof, and Agent and Lenders shall have the right at any time
or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Grantor of any and all such terms,
provisions and conditions. No delay or omission by Agent or Lenders to exercise any right, power
or remedy accruing upon any breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right,
power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default, or
acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Security Instrument to Agent
or Lenders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent or
Lenders. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent or Lenders to or of any breach or
Event of Default by Grantor in the performance of the Obligations of Grantor or to any other Event
of Default shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or
Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other
Obligations of Grantor. Failure on
the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of rights hereunder
or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of Agent or Lenders hereunder.


 


K-30









 






No act or omission by Agent or Lenders shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise
affect the liability of Grantor under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents
to which it is a party or in respect of any Obligations of Grantor or the liability of any
subsequent purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any maker, cosigner, endorser,
surety or guarantor, or preclude Agent or Lenders from exercising any right, power or privilege

herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Event of Default then made or by any
subsequent Event of Default, or alter the Lien of this Security Instrument. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may:



(a) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of all or any portion of the
Obligations;



(b) take other or additional security for the payment of the Obligations;



(c) waive or fail to exercise any right granted hereunder or in the Credit Agreement or the
other Loan Documents;



(d) change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Credit Agreement, this
Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents;



(e) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Collateral;

lien hereof; or



(h) take or omit to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Credit Agreement, this
Security Instrument, the Collateral or any document or instrument evidencing, securing or in any
way relating to the Obligations;



all without releasing, discharging, modifying, changing or affecting any such liability, or
precluding Agent or Lenders from exercising any such right, power or privilege, or affecting the
Lien of this Security Instrument. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or
otherwise of all or any part of the Collateral, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and
empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Collateral or the
Obligations, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as
fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any
way releasing or discharging any liabilities, Obligations or undertakings.



 


K-31









 




Section 9.6 Agent’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Grantor shall fail, refuse or
neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents after the expiration
of relevant notice and cure periods, then at any time thereafter, and without notice to or demand
upon Grantor and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Agent may have
because of same, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act
for the account of and at the expense of Grantor, and shall have the right to enter the Property
and Improvements for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the
Collateral as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Agent shall elect to pay any Imposition or
other sums due with reference to the Collateral, Agent may do so in reliance on any bill, statement
or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without
inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making

any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Agent shall
not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien,
encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing
the same. Grantor shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for all losses, expenses, damages, claims and
causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any
acts performed by Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section or by reason of any other
provision in the Loan Documents. All sums paid by Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section, and
all other sums expended by Agent or Lenders to which they shall be entitled to be indemnified,
together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of such payment or
expenditure, shall constitute additions to the Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens created
by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Grantor to Agent upon demand.



Section 9.7 Covenants Running with the Land. All Obligations contained in the Loan
Documents are intended by the parties to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with
the Property.



Section 9.8 Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 13.5. of the Credit
Agreement, all of the terms of this Security Instrument shall apply to, be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties thereto, their successors, assigns, heirs and legal
representatives, and all other Persons claiming by, through or under them.



Section 9.9 Severability. This Security Instrument is intended to be performed in
accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable Legal Requirements. If any
provision of any of this Security Instrument or the application thereof to any Person or
circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then neither
the remainder of the instrument in which such provision is contained nor the application of such
provision to other Persons or circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove
shall be affected thereby, but rather, shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by
Applicable Law.



Section 9.10 Modification. This Security Instrument may not be amended, revised,
waived, discharged, released or terminated orally, but only by a written instrument or
instruments as provided in Section 13.6. of the Credit Agreement.



Section 9.11 Assignment. This Security Instrument is assignable by Agent and any
assignment hereof by Agent shall operate to vest in the assignee all rights and powers herein
conferred upon and granted to Agent.



Section 9.12 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and
every covenant, agreement and obligation of Grantor under this Security Instrument.



Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Security Instrument may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but
one instrument.


 


K-32









 





SECTION 9.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF [INSERT STATE] APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS
EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.



Section 9.15 Subrogation. If any or all of the proceeds of the Obligations have been
used to extinguish, extend or renew any Obligations heretofore existing against the Collateral,
then, to the extent of such funds so used, the Obligations and this Security Instrument shall be
subrogated to all of the rights, claims, liens, titles and interests heretofore existing against
the Collateral to secure the indebtedness so extinguished, extended or renewed, and the former
rights, claims, lines, titles and interests, if any, are not waived, but rather, are continued in
full force and effect in favor of Agent and are merged with the lien or security title and
interest created herein as cumulative security for the repayment and the satisfaction of the
Obligations.



Section 9.16 Headings. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections, subsections and
clauses in this Security Instrument are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the
provisions of this Security Instrument.



Section 9.17 Eligible Property. It is acknowledged and agreed by Grantor that the
standards and requirements for the Collateral constituting an Eligible Property and being included
in calculations of the Borrowing Base are as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and that the
Collateral subject hereto may cease to be an Eligible Property and cease to be included in
calculating the Borrowing Base if the Collateral is not in compliance with such eligibility
requirements, notwithstanding that the Collateral may remain subject to this Security Instrument.



Section 9.18 Substitute Trustee. Agent shall at any time and from time to time have
the irrevocable right to remove the Trustee herein named without notice or cause and to appoint
his or her successor or successors by an instrument in writing, duly acknowledged, and in
recordable form, if required by Applicable Law, and in the event of the death or resignation of
the Trustee herein named, Agent shall have the right to appoint his successor or successors by
such written instrument, and, without conveyance of the Collateral, any trustee or trustees so
appointed (whether one or more, “Substitute Trustee”) shall be vested with the title to the
Collateral and shall possess all the powers, duties, and obligations herein conferred on Trustee
in the same manner and to the same extent as though he were named herein as Trustee. Neither the
original Trustee nor any Substitute Trustee shall be required to make bond, oath, or file an
inventory. If more than one Trustee or Substitute Trustee is appointed, all authority, power, and
discretion hereinabove granted to such trustees may be exercised by any of them, without the
others, with the same effect as if exercised by all of them jointly.



Section 9.19 Conflict. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
of a conflict between this Security Instrument and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement
shall govern.



SECTION 9.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,

TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE OBLIGATIONS, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE
GUARANTY OR THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF AGENT, LENDERS, THEIR OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

ARTICLE II. GRANT AND CONVEYANCE




Assignor does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and presently bargain, sell, assign and set

interest of Assignor in and to any and all existing or future Lease, together with the immediate
and continuing right to collect and receive all the Rents.



TO HAVE AND TO HOLD THE SAME UNTO ASSIGNEE as provided herein.




This Assignment is intended to be an absolute assignment from Assignor to Assignee and not
merely the passing of a security interest; provided, however, that Assignee hereby grants to
Assignor a revocable license to collect, except as hereinafter provided, the Rents, as they
respectively become due, but not more than one month in advance, and to enforce the Leases, so long
as no Event of Default exists. If an Event of Default occurs, however, such license shall be
automatically revoked and Assignee shall not be required to take any action whatsoever, including,
without limitation, instituting legal proceedings of any kind, to terminate Assignor’s license to
collect Rents or enforce any of the other provisions or remedies contained in the Assignment.


 


L-5









 





ARTICLE III. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS




Section 3.1 Assignee as Creditor. Notwithstanding the license granted in Article II
above, Assignor agrees that Assignee, and not Assignor, shall be deemed to be the creditor of each
Tenant in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors in bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, dissolution, or receivership proceedings affecting such Tenant (without obligation on
the part of Assignee, however, to file or make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or
otherwise to pursue creditor’s rights therein), with an option to Assignee to apply any money
received by Assignee as such creditor in reduction of the Obligations.



Section 3.2 Rights and Remedies. Assignor agrees that while an Event of Default
exists, the license reserved herein by Assignor shall be automatically revoked, cease and
terminate, and Assignee is hereby authorized, at its option, to enter and take possession of the
Premises, or any part thereof, and to perform all acts necessary for the operations and maintenance
of the Premises in the same manner and to the same extent that Assignor might reasonably so act. It
is the intention of the parties that Assignee’s right to collect the Rents due and owing may be
exercised without electing to exercise Assignee’s right to enter, take over and assume the
management, operation and maintenance of the Premises. In furtherance thereof and not by way of
limitation, Assignee is empowered, but shall be under no obligation while an Event of Default
exists, to collect the Rents, to enforce payment thereof and the performance of any and all other
terms and provisions of the Leases, to exercise all the rights and privileges of Assignor
thereunder, including the right to fix or modify Rents, to bring or defend any suits in connection
with the possession of the Premises or any part thereof in its own name or Assignor’s name, to
relet the Premises or any part thereof and to collect the Rents under any new Lease. Assignee shall
from time to time apply the net amount of income after payment of all proper costs and charges,
including loss or damage referred to in Section 3.6 below, and attorneys’ fees, to the Obligations
as provided in Section 11.4. of the Credit Agreement. Such entry and taking possession of the
Premises, or any part thereof, may be made by actual entry and possession, or by written notice
served personally upon or sent by registered or certified mail to the last owner of the Premises
appearing on the records of Assignee, as Assignee may elect, and no further authorization shall be
required. Assignee shall only be accountable for money actually received by it pursuant to this
Assignment. Notwithstanding any action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Section or otherwise in
this Assignment, neither the assignment made pursuant hereto or any such action shall constitute
Assignee as a “mortgagee in possession.” While an Event of Default exists, Assignee shall have all
rights and remedies provided hereunder, as well as at law or in equity, none of which shall be
exclusive remedies, but on a cumulative basis.



Section 3.3 Termination of Assignment. Should the Obligations be paid when the same
shall become due and payable, and should all Obligations be performed in a timely manner, or on the
earlier release of the Premises pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3 of the Credit Agreement, as
evidenced by a recorded satisfaction or release of the Security Instrument, the rights and
interests assigned to Assignee hereunder shall be automatically reconveyed to the owner of the
Premises and this Assignment shall terminate and be of no further effect.


 


L-6









 





Section 3.4 Consent to Payment of Rents. Assignor irrevocably consents that the
Tenants, upon demand and notice from Assignee of the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall pay
the Rents to Assignee, without liability of the Tenants for the determination of the actual
existence of any such Event of Default. Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the
Tenants, upon receipt of any notice from Assignee of an Event of Default, to pay to the Assignee
the Rents due and to become due under the Leases. Assignor agrees that the Tenants shall have the
right to rely upon any such notices of Assignee and that the Tenants shall pay such Rents to
Assignee, without any obligation and without any right to inquire as to whether such Event of
Default actually exists, notwithstanding any claim of Assignor to the contrary. Assignor shall have
no claim against any Tenant for any Rents paid by any Tenant to Assignee. If an Event of Default
shall cease to exist, Assignor may request that Assignee (and upon any such request Assignee shall)
give written notice thereof to Tenants and thereafter, until further notice from Assignee, Tenants
shall pay the Rents to Assignor.



Section 3.5 Right to Further Assignment. Assignee shall have the right to assign
Assignor’s right, title, and interest in the Leases to any subsequent holder of the Security
Instrument and to any Person acquiring title to the Premises through foreclosure or otherwise, The
receipt by Assignee of any Rents pursuant to this Assignment after the institution of foreclosure
proceedings under the Security Instrument shall not cure such default nor affect such proceedings
or any sale pursuant thereto. After Assignor shall have been barred and foreclosed of all right,
title and interest in the Premises, no assignee of Assignor’s interest in the Leases shall be
liable to account to Assignor for the Rents thereafter accruing.



Section 3.6 Indemnity. Not in limitation of any other obligations of Assignor to
indemnify Assignee and Lenders contained in any of the other Loan Documents, Assignor hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold Assignee and Lenders harmless from and against any and all liability, loss,
or damage which Assignee or any Lender may incur (a) under any of the Leases, (b) by reason of this
Assignment, (c) arising from any action taken by Assignee pursuant to this Assignment, (d) as a
result of any claims or demands which may be asserted against Assignee or Lenders by reason of any
alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed or discharged by Assignee or any Lender under any
of the Leases or this Assignment, or (e) as a result of the enforcement (or attempted enforcement)
of this indemnity, except to the extent the same resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Agent or any Lender as defined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to bind Assignee or Lenders
to the performance of any of the terms and provisions contained in any of the Leases, or otherwise
to impose any obligation on Assignee or Lenders, including, without limitation, any liability under
the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any of the Leases in the event that any Tenant shall
have been joined as party defendant in any action to foreclose the Security Instrument and shall
have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title, interest and equity of redemption in
the Premises. Prior to actual entry and taking possession of the Premises by Assignee, this
Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management, or repair
of the Premises upon Assignee or Lenders or for the carrying out of any of the terms and provisions
of any Lease. Should Assignee or Lenders incur any liability by reason of actual entry and taking
possession or for any other reason or occurrence or sustain loss or damage under any Lease or under
or by reason of this Assignment or in the defense of any such claims or demands, Assignor shall
immediately upon demand, reimburse Assignee and Lenders for the amount thereof, including interest
at the Post-Default Rate, or the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is less,
together with costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred by Assignee and/or Lenders from
time to time. Assignee may collect and retain possession and collect the Rents and apply them in or
toward satisfaction of or reimbursement for all sums due pursuant to the previous sentence.


 


L-7









 





Section 3.7 Covenants Regarding Leases. Assignor covenants it will not, without the
prior written consent of Assignee obtained in each instance:



(a) enter into any new or future Material Lease with any Person, except on the best terms
reasonably obtainable, and under terms that shall be in all respects be satisfactory to Assignee as

(b) cancel, terminate or accept a surrender or suffer or permit any cancellation, termination

(c) modify or amend any Material Lease so as to reduce materially the term thereof or the rent
payable thereunder, or to change any renewal provision contained therein or otherwise materially
increase the obligation of Assignor thereunder or materially reduce the obligations of the Tenant

promptly provide a copy of such amendment or modification to Assignee);



(d) commence any summary proceeding or other action to recover possession of any space demised
pursuant to any Material Lease, other than a proceeding brought in good faith by reason of a
material default of any Tenant;



(e) receive or collect or permit the receipt or collection of any rental payments of more than
one monthly installment of rent under any Lease in advance of the due dates of such rental payments

Assignee under this Assignment or the Security Instrument;



(g) extend any present Material Lease other than in the manner presently provided for therein;



(h) execute an agreement or create or permit a Lien which may be or become superior to any
existing Lease affecting the Premises;



(i) sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber, whether by
operation of Applicable Law or otherwise, any Material Lease or any rights to the rentals under any
Material Lease or any current or future Rents;


 


L-8









 





(j) alter, modify, or change the terms of any guaranties of any Material Leases or consent to
the release of any party thereunder, or cancel or terminate such guaranties;

and hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee and its successors and assigns as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver during the term of this Assignment, such further
instruments as Assignee may deem necessary to make this Assignment and any further assignment
effective.



Section 3.10 Cancellation Proceeds. The Leases shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of any merger of the interest of the lessor and Tenants thereunder. If any Lease
permits cancellation thereof on payment of consideration and said privilege of cancellation is
exercised, the payments made or to be made by reason thereof are hereby assigned to Assignee to be
applied to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable terms of the Loan Documents or to be
held in trust by Assignee as further security, without interest, for the Obligations.



Section 3.11 Assignor’s Covenants. Assignor will perform all of its covenants and
agreements as lessor under the Leases, and will not suffer or permit to occur any release of
liability of any Tenant or the accrual of any right in any Tenant to withhold payment of Rents.



Section 3.12 Notice of Default. Assignor will give prompt notice to Assignee of any
notice of default, Event of Default, cancellation or surrender received from any Tenant or from any
other Person with respect to any Lease and furnish Assignee with complete copies of any said
notice. If requested by Assignee, Assignor will enforce the Leases and all remedies available to
Assignor against the Tenants in case of default under any Lease by a Tenant.



Section 3.13 Continued Interest. Notwithstanding any variation of the terms of any
Loan Document, including any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Obligations or in
the rate of interest payable under the Obligations or any extension of time for payment thereunder
or any release of part or parts of the Premises, the Leases and the Rents hereby assigned shall
continue as additional security in accordance with the terms of this Assignment.


 


L-9









 





Section 3.14 Additional Security. Assignee may (a) take security in addition to the
security already given Assignee for the payment of the Obligations, (b) release such other
security, (c) release any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Obligations, (d) grant or
make extensions, renewals, modifications, or indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents and
replacements thereof, which replacements of the Loan Documents may be on the same or on terms
different from the present terms of the Loan Documents, and (e) apply any other security
theretofore held by it to the satisfaction of the Obligations without prejudice to any of its
rights hereunder.

violation of, Environmental Requirements relating to conditions on, under or about the Collateral,

presence of Hazardous Materials in, upon, about or beneath the Collateral or migrating to or from

warranty or covenant or the inaccuracy of any representation of Indemnitor contained herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents pertaining to Hazardous Materials or other environmental matters,
including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Section 3.2 of the Security Instrument;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnitor shall have no liability
hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to any expense, damage or loss suffered by any Indemnitee
arising from Hazardous Materials in, upon, about or beneath the Collateral or migrating to the
Collateral to the extent that such presence or migration of Hazardous Materials first occurs after
the date upon which title to the Collateral is transferred to Agent, its nominee, any agent or
receiver appointed on behalf of Agent or any third party transferee of the Collateral in the event
of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or conveyance of the Collateral in lieu thereof, if such
presence or migration does not arise from the acts or omissions of Borrower, Guarantor, or their
respective affiliates. The obligations of Indemnitor under this Section shall include, but not be
limited to, the burden and expense of defending all claims, suits and administrative proceedings

contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether instituted by Agent, Indemnitor, or any other party)
in any way or respect relating to this Agreement or the matters subject to this Agreement, or (iii)
to enforce Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder, then, in any of the foregoing events, all of the

notice, claim, charge, cause of action or demand pertaining to the matters indemnified hereunder
and to Hazardous Claims, including, without limitation, any notice of inspection, abatement or
noncompliance, stating the nature and basis of such inquiry or notification. Indemnitor shall
promptly deliver to Agent any and all documentation or records as Agent may request in connection
with such notice or inquiry, and shall keep Agent advised of any subsequent developments.

Owner is validly formed and existing under the laws of the state of its formation, and no
proceeding is pending for the dissolution or annulment of Owner, and all applicable license and
franchise taxes due and payable by Owner have been paid in full. True and correct copies of the
charter documents, certificates, and any amendments thereto, have been delivered to Agent.



7. There are no suits, judgments, bankruptcies or executions pending against Owner in any
court whatsoever that could in any way affect the title to the Property, or constitute a lien
thereon, and Owner is not a surety on the bond of any county official or any other bond that
through default of the principal thereon a lien would be created superior to any conveyance
executed by Owner, nor are there any loan deeds, security deeds, trust deeds, mortgages or liens
of any nature whatsoever unsatisfied against the Property, or easements, licenses, agreements or
other encumbrances affecting the title to the Property, except as set forth on Exhibit B
attached hereto and made a part hereof.

repairs have been made by or at the instance of Owner, the same are complete and there are no
unpaid bills incurred for labor, services and materials used in making improvements or repairs on

9 Deponent understands that Section 1445 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(as amended, the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest
must withhold tax if the transferor is a “foreign person” (as defined in the Code). For U.S. tax
purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a
U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the
disregarded entity. To inform Agent that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition
of a United States real property interest by Owner and to inform Agent, the Internal Revenue
Service and the party completing the informational return of the items required to be reported,
Deponent hereby certifies the following:




(a) Owner is not a “non-resident alien” for purposes of United States income taxation
or otherwise a “foreign person,” as defined in Section 1445 of the Code.




(b) Owner’s United States taxpayer identification number is
                                        .

(c) The Owner is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the
Income Tax Regulations issued under the Code.




(d) The address (and, if different, the mailing address) of Guarantor is [c/o] Morgans Group
LLC, 475 Tenth Avenue, New York, New York 10018, Attention: Richard Szymanski.




(e) Deponent is making this Affidavit pursuant to the provisions of Section 1445 of the Code
in connection with the conveyance of the Property by Guarantor to Agent, which conveyance
constitutes the disposition by Guarantor of a United States real property interest, for the
purposes of establishing that Agent is not required to withhold tax pursuant to Section 1445 of
the Code in connection with such disposition.




(f) Deponent acknowledges that this Affidavit may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue
Service by Agent, that this Affidavit is made under penalty of perjury, and that any false
statement made herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

consisting of a security entitlement or a securities account, such Pledgor shall, and shall cause
the applicable securities intermediary to, enter into an agreement with, and in form and
substance acceptable to, the Pledgee, granting control to the Pledgee over such Collateral.



(g) Additional Shares. Such Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to issue any
additional Equity Interests unless such Equity Interests are pledged hereunder as provided herein.
Further, such Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to amend or modify its articles or certificate
of incorporation, articles of organization, certificate of limited partnership, by-laws, operating
agreement, partnership agreement or other comparable organizational instrument in a manner which
would adversely affect the voting, liquidation, preference or other similar rights of any holder
of the Equity Interests pledged hereunder.



(h) Issuer Acknowledgment. Such Pledgor shall, upon the Pledgee’s request therefor,
cause each Issuer of Collateral pledged by such Pledgor and which Issuer is not a Pledgor itself,
to execute and deliver to the Pledgee an Acknowledgment and Consent substantially in the form of
Schedule 2 attached hereto.



Section 5. Voting Rights; Dividends, etc.



(a) So long as no Event of Default exists:




(i) each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or consensual
rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Collateral or any part thereof for any
purpose not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents or any
agreement giving rise to or otherwise relating to any of the Secured Obligations; and




(ii) each Pledgor shall be entitled to retain and use any and all cash dividends or
interest paid on the Collateral in the normal course of the applicable Issuer’s business,
but any and all stock and/or liquidating dividends, other distributions in property, return
of capital or other distributions made on or in respect of the Collateral, whether resulting
from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of outstanding Equity Interests or
received in exchange for Collateral or any part thereof or as a result of any merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets or on the liquidation, whether
voluntary or involuntary, or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral and, if
received by a Pledgor, shall forthwith be delivered to the Pledgee.



The Pledgee agrees to execute and deliver to a Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to a
Pledgor, as appropriate, at the sole cost and expense of such Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of
attorney, dividend orders and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers
which such Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and/or to receive the
dividends which such Pledgor is authorized to retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.


 


P-6









 





(b) If
an Event of Default exists, all rights of a Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or
consensual rights and powers which a Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection (a)(i)
above and/or to receive the dividends and distributions which a Pledgor is authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above shall cease, and all such rights thereupon shall
become immediately vested in the Pledgee, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and
authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and powers which any Pledgor shall
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and/or to receive and retain
the dividends and distributions which any Pledgor shall otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant
to subsection (a)(ii) above. Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the
Pledgee pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (b) shall be retained by the Pledgee as
additional Collateral hereunder and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section
8. If any Pledgor shall receive any dividends, distributions or other property which it is not
entitled to receive under this Section, such Pledgor shall hold the same in trust for the Pledgee
and the Lenders, without commingling the same with other funds or property of or held by such
Pledgor, and shall promptly deliver the same to the Pledgee, in the identical form received,
together with any necessary endorsements.



Section 6. Remedies.



In addition to any right or remedy that the Pledgee or any Lender may have under the other
Loan Documents or otherwise under applicable law, if an Event of Default shall exist, the Pledgee
may exercise any and all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and may otherwise
sell, assign, transfer, endorse and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the
Collateral at a public or private sale or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for
other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as
the Pledgee in its discretion shall deem appropriate. With respect to any Collateral held or
maintained with a securities intermediary, the Pledgee shall be entitled to notify such securities
intermediary that such securities intermediary should follow the entitlement orders of the Pledgee
and that such securities intermediary should no longer follow entitlement orders of the Pledgor,
without further consent of the Pledgor. The Pledgee shall have the right (in its sole and absolute
discretion) to register any Equity Interests which are part of the Collateral in its own name as
pledgee or the name of its nominee (as Pledgee or as sub-agent), endorsed or assigned in blank or
in favor of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall be authorized at any sale (if it deems it advisable to
do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree
that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account in compliance with the Securities Act
and any other applicable law and upon consummation of any such sale the Pledgee shall have the
right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall take and hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives
(to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any applicable law now
existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by applicable law, at least


 


P-7









 






10 days’
prior written notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Any such public sale shall be held at such
time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Pledgee may fix
and shall state in the notice or publication (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the
Collateral, or portion thereof to be sold, may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Pledgee may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Pledgee shall not
be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of
the fact that notice of sale of the Collateral may have been given. The Pledgee may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the lime and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case the sale
of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so
sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but neither the Pledgee nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any Pledgor in case
any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in
case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public sale
made pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledgee, any Lender and any other holder of any of the
Secured Obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may bid for or purchase, free from
any right of redemption, stay and/or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being
also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), any part of or all the
Collateral offered for sale. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase all or any part
of the Collateral shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Pledgee shall be free to carry out such
sale pursuant to such agreement and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of any Collateral
subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Pledgee shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default may have been remedied or the Secured Obligations may have been
paid in full as herein provided. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to require any marshaling of
assets and any similar right. In addition to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon
it, the Pledgee shall also have the option to proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to
foreclose this Agreement and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to judgment or
decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction. The rights and remedies of the Pledgee
and the Lenders under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
which any of them otherwise have.



Section 7. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable
law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Pledgee and each Lender is hereby
authorized by each Pledgor, at any time or from time to time during the continuance of an Event of
Default, without prior notice to any Pledgor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of
the Pledgee exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and
all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held
or owing by the Pledgee, such Lender or any affiliate of the Pledgee or such Lender, to or for the
credit or the account of such Pledgor against and on account of any of the Secured Obligations,
irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be, or
have otherwise become, due and payable, and although such obligations shall be contingent or
unmatured.


 


P-8









 





Section 8. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Cash. The proceeds of any sale of the
whole or any part of the Collateral, together with any other moneys held by the Pledgee under the
provisions of this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.4 of the Credit
Agreement. Each Pledgor shall remain liable and will pay, on demand, any deficiency remaining in
respect of the Secured Obligations.



Section 9. Pledgee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and
appoints the Pledgee as the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor with full power of substitution
either in the Pledgee’s name or in the name of such Pledgor to do any of the following: (a) to
perform any obligation of such Pledgor hereunder in such
Pledgor’s name or otherwise; (b) to ask
for, demand, sue for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or
to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (c) to prepare, execute, file, record or
deliver notices, assignments, financing statements, continuation statements, applications for
registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release the Pledgee’s security interest in the
Collateral; (d) to issue entitlement orders, instructions and other orders to any securities
intermediary in connection with any of the Collateral held by or maintained with such securities
intermediary; (e) to verify facts concerning the Collateral in such Pledgor’s name, its own name
or a fictitious name; (f) to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment
of money payable to such Pledgor, representing any interest or dividend or other distribution
payable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full
discharge for the same; (g) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which such Pledgor would
have, but for this Agreement, with respect to any of the Collateral; and (h) to carry out the
provisions of this Agreement and to take any action and execute any instrument which the Pledgee
may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, and to do all acts and things
and execute all documents in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, deemed by the Pledgee as
necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of
its rights hereunder; provided, that the Pledgee shall only exercise its rights under clauses (a),
(b), (e) and (g) while an Event of Default exists. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
requiring or obligating the Pledgee or any Lender to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as
to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or
notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due
or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken by the
Pledgee or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise
to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Pledgor or to any claim or action against
the Pledgee. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.



Section 10.
 Pledgee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to
ensure that safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Pledgee hereunder, the Pledgee
shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and
agreed that each Pledgor shall responsible for preservation of all rights of such Pledgor in the
Collateral. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Pledgee accords its own property, it being understood that
the Pledgee shall not have responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions,
exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the
Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (b) taking any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.

Section 11. Reimbursement of Pledgee.
 Each Pledgor agrees to pay upon demand to the
Pledgee the amount of any and all expenses, including the fees, disbursements and other charges of
its counsel and of any experts or agents, and its fully allocated internal costs, that the Pledgee
may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (c) the custody or
preservation of, or any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
Collateral, (c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Pledgee hereunder, or (d)
the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or otherwise in
respect of the Collateral.



Section 12. Indemnification. Each Pledgor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold the
Pledgee, each Lender and each of their respective predecessor, affiliate, subsidiaries, successors
and assigns, together with their past, present and future officers, directors, agents, attorneys,
financial advisors, representatives, partners, joint ventures, affiliates and the successor and
assigns of any and all of them (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and
all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Indemnified Amounts”) brought against
or incurred by an Indemnified Person, in any manner arising out of or, directly or indirectly,
related in any way to or connected with this Agreement, including without limitation, the exercise
by the Pledgee or any Lender of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other
action taken by the Pledgee or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, a Pledgor shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to
Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment.



Section 13. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense,
take all action that may be necessary or desirable in the Pledgee’s sole discretion, so as at all
times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Pledgee’s security
interest in the Collateral, or to enable the Pledgee to exercise or enforce its rights hereunder,
including without limitation or otherwise in respect of the Collateral. The Pledgee shall at all
times have the right to exchange the certificates representing such Equity Interests for
certificates of smaller or larger numbers of shares for any purpose consistent with this
Agreement.

Section 14. Securities Act.
 In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the
Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the
Securities Act, or any similar applicable law hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (the
Securities Act and any such similar applicable law as from time to time in effect being called the
“Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted hereunder.
Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit
the course of conduct of the Pledgee if the Pledgee were to attempt to dispose of all or any part
of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the extent to which or
the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose

of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Pledgee
in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof
under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar applicable law analogous in
purpose or effect. Each Pledgor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and
limitations the Pledgee may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to
those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges
and agrees that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Pledgee, in its sole
and absolute discretion, may, in accordance with applicable law, (a) proceed to make such a sale
whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part
thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) approach and negotiate
with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that
any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such
sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of
any such sale, the Pledgee
shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral in
accordance with the terms hereof at a price that the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion,
may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after
registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of
this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of public or private market upon which the
quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Pledgee sells.



Section 15. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until it terminates
in accordance with its terms.



Section 16. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder, the
grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder,
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of
any Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other
agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or
place of the payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document, or any other
agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or
nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or
departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the
indefeasible payment in full of all the Secured Obligations).



Section 17. No Waiver. Neither the failure on the part of the Pledgee or any Lender to
exercise, nor the delay on the part of the Pledgee or any Lender in exercising any right, power or
remedy hereunder, nor any course of dealing between the Pledgee or any Lender, on the one hand, and
any Pledgor, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power, or remedy hereunder preclude any other or the further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS
BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF

PLEDGEE OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE PLEDGEE OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER
APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.



(c) EACH PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (i) ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME THE PLEDGEE DISPOSES OF ALL

LAW NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; AND (iii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
OR APPLICABLE LAW, ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE.



(d) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF
COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE
PAYMENT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.



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



Section 22. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
except that no Pledgor shall be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein or in the
Collateral or any part thereof and any such assignment by a Pledgor shall be null and void absent
the prior written consent of the Pledgee.



 


P-13









 




Section 23. Termination. Upon indefeasible payment in full of all of the Secured
Obligations and termination of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms, this

Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the
Pledgee agrees to take such actions as any Pledgor may reasonably request, and at the sole cost
and expense of such Pledgor, to evidence the termination of this
Agreement.



Section 24. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without

rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand,

advertisements and notices are hereby waived by Grantor), may in such circumstances forthwith

application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order provided in Section 6(h) and (ii) the
Secured Party or its nominee may exercise any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining
to the Pledged Collateral as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof, all without
liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the
Secured Party shall have no duty to Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and
shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In order to permit the
Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it is entitled to exercise

without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party

the Pledged Collateral would be entitled, which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without
the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books
of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any
officer or agent thereof) while an Event of Default exists. Grantor hereby expressly authorizes
and irrevocably instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by Grantor to (x)
comply with any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in writing that states that an
Event of Default exists and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without
any other or further instructions from Grantor, and Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully
protected in so complying and (y) pay any payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly
to the Secured Party.

Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that while an Event of Default exists

Collateral without notice of a hearing or the requirement of posting a bond. The Secured Party
shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of Grantor, and
Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Grantor
may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Secured Party.



 


Q-14









 





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



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



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



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



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

it, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any
property covered thereby, and no action taken by the Secured Party or omitted to be taken with

in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if the Secured Party
accords such Collateral treatment substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its
own property.

Party, and its counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or
record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording
documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the
Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Secured
Party under this Agreement. Grantor agrees that such financing statements and amendments may
describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property of the debtor” or words of
similar effect. Grantor hereby also authorizes the Secured Party, and its counsel and other
representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to
previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall

filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any
financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing
statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Secured Party, subject to Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

Statement of Facts




The Bank acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, it maintains in the name of the Company the
deposit account(s) identified on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (each an
“Account” and, collectively, the “Accounts”). One or more of the Accounts may be served by one or
more lockboxes operated by the Bank, which lockboxes (if any) also are listed on Exhibit A (each a
“Lockbox” and, collectively, the “Lockboxes”). The Account(s) and any Lockbox(es) are governed by
the terms and conditions of the Company’s commercial deposit account agreement published by the
Bank from time to time and, with respect to any Lockbox, also may be governed by a lockbox service
description between the Bank and the Company (collectively, with all applicable services
descriptions and/or agreements, the “Deposit Agreement”).



The Company hereby confirms to the Bank that the Company has granted to the Secured Party a
security interest in the following (collectively, the “Account Collateral”): (a) the Account(s),
(b) the Lockbox(es) and (c) the Items Collateral. The term “Items Collateral” means, collectively,

The parties hereto entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of October 27, 2006
with respect to the Company’s Accounts (as in effect on the date hereof, the “Existing Deposit
Account Control Agreement”).



The parties desire to amend and restate the Existing Deposit Account Control Agreement in order to
set forth their relative rights and duties with respect to the Account Collateral. In
consideration of the mutual covenants herein as well as other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby amend and restate the
Existing Deposit Account Control Agreement and agree as follows:



1. Control of the Accounts




(a) The Statement of Facts is incorporated herein by reference. The Bank represents that it is a
“bank”. The Company and the Bank acknowledge that each Account is a “deposit account”. Each party
to this Agreement acknowledges that this Agreement is an “authenticated” record and that the
arrangements established under this Agreement constitute “control” of each Account. Each of these
terms is used in this Agreement as defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
by the State of New York (the “New York UCC”).



(b) The Company represents and warrants to the Secured Party that Exhibit A contains a complete and
accurate list of all Accounts and Lockboxes maintained by the Company with the Bank and subject to
this Agreement. The Company covenants for the benefit of the Secured Party that the Company shall
not open or maintain any deposit account with the Bank other than the Account(s). Nothing in this
Agreement shall impose upon the Bank any duty to monitor or assure the Company’s compliance with
this Section 1(b).



(c) The Bank confirms that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Bank have not
entered into any agreement (other than the Deposit Agreement) with any person pursuant to which the
Bank is obligated to comply with instructions from such person as to the disposition of funds in
any Account or of Items Collateral. During the term of this Agreement the Bank will not enter into
any agreement with any person other than the Secured Party pursuant to which the Bank will be
obligated to comply with instructions from such person as to the disposition of funds in any
Account or of Items Collateral.



(d) The Company authorizes and directs the Bank, and the Bank agrees, to comply with all
instructions given by the Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement and permissible under the
Deposit Agreement, including directing the disposition of funds in any Account or as to any other
matter relating to any Account or other Account Collateral, without further consent by the Company.



(e) The Secured Party authorizes and instructs the Bank to (i) permit the Company to have access to
and disposition over the Account(s) and Account Collateral and to otherwise deal with same as
provided in the Deposit Agreement and (ii) act upon the instructions that the Bank shall receive
from the Company concerning the Lockbox and the Account Collateral until the implementation by the
Bank of the written instruction from the Secured Party to the Bank substantially in the form of
Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Notice”) in accordance with the provisions
of Section 7 of this Agreement. The Secured Party’s right to give
instructions to the Bank regarding any Account Collateral also shall include (but is not limited
to) the right to give “stop payment orders” to the Bank for any item presented to the Bank against
any Account even if it results in dishonor of the item presented against the Account.



Form of Account Control Agreement

S-3



 


 









 





(f) Until delivery of the Notice by the Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of Section
7, the Secured Party shall not give any instruction to the Bank or otherwise exercise control over
the Account(s) and the Account Collateral and, until the Bank shall receive and implement the
Notice as provided in Section 7, the Bank shall not (and shall not be required by the provisions of
this Agreement to) honor and follow any instruction the Bank may receive from the Secured Party
with regard to the Account(s) and the Account Collateral. Upon the implementation of the Notice by
the Bank, the Bank shall not permit any officer, agent or other representative of the Company or
its affiliates to direct the disposition of funds in any Account, withdraw any amount from any
Account or otherwise exercise any authority or power with respect to any Lockbox, Account or
Account Collateral. Upon implementation of the Notice by the Bank, all collected and available
funds in any Account shall only be withdrawn or transferred based on instructions given by the
Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement.



(g) Federal Reserve Regulations and Operating Circulars, ACH or other clearing house rules and
other applicable law (including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the
State in which the respective Account identified on Exhibit A is located (hereinafter, the
“Applicable UCC”) and the Deposit Agreement shall also apply to the Secured Party’s exercise of
control over the Account(s) and the Account Collateral and to the performance of services hereunder
by the Bank. Each of the Company and the Secured Party authorizes and instructs the Bank to supply
the Company’s or the Secured Party’s endorsement, as appropriate, to any Items Collateral that the
Bank shall receive for deposit to any Account.



2. Statements and Other Information. If so requested of the Bank by the Secured Party in
writing, the Bank will send to the Secured Party (in a manner consistent with the Bank’s standard
practices) at the Secured Party’s address specified in Section 7, copies of all Account statements
and communications (but not canceled checks) that the Bank is required to send to the Company under
the Deposit Agreement. The Bank also shall provide to each of the Company and the Secured Party
when requested (as a service under this Agreement and/or the Deposit Agreement) copies of Account
statements and other deposit account information, including Account balances, by telephone and by
computer communication, to the extent practicable when requested by the Company or by the Secured
Party. The Company consents to the Bank’s release of such Account information to the Secured
Party. The Bank’s liability for its failure to comply with this Section 2 shall not exceed its
cost of providing such information.

3. Setoff; Returned Items and Charges




(a) The Bank will not exercise any security interest (except for the security interest provided in
Section 4-210, “Security Interest of Collecting Bank in Items, Accompanying Documents and
Proceeds”, of the Applicable UCC), lien, right of setoff, deduction, recoupment or banker’s lien or
any other interest in or against any Account or any other Account Collateral, and the Bank hereby
subordinates to the Secured Party any such security interest (except for such security interest
provided in such Section 4-210 of the Applicable UCC), lien or right which the Bank
may have against any Account or other Account Collateral. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
the Secured Party and the Company agree that the Bank at all times (including following
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against the Company) may set off and
charge against any Account (regardless of any agreement by the Company to compensate the Bank by
means of balances in the Account) all of the following as permitted by the Deposit Agreement
(collectively, the “Permitted Debits”): (i) the face amount of each Returned Item (hereinafter
defined), (ii) usual and customary service charges and fees, (iii) account maintenance fees, (iv)
transfer fees, (v) out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ reasonable fees) incurred
by the Bank (including those in connection with the negotiation, administration or enforcement of
this Agreement), and (vi) adjustments or corrections of posting or encoding errors; whether any
Permitted Debit shall have accrued or been incurred before or after the date of this Agreement.
“Returned Item” means any (i) Items Collateral deposited into or credited to an Account before or
after the date of this Agreement and returned unpaid or otherwise uncollected or subject to an
adjustment entry, whether for insufficient funds or any other reason, and without regard to the
timeliness of such return or adjustment or the occurrence or timeliness of any other party’s notice
of nonpayment or adjustment; (ii) Items Collateral subject to a claim against the Bank for breach
of transfer, presentment, encoding, retention or other warranty under Federal Reserve Regulations
or Operating Circulars, ACH or other clearing house rules, or applicable law (including, without
limitation, Articles 3, 4 and 4A of the Applicable UCC); and (iii) demand for chargeback in
connection with a merchant card transaction.



(b) If (i) the Bank were unable to set off or charge any Permitted Debit against any Account
because of insufficient funds in the Account, or (ii) the Bank in good faith were to believe that
any legal process or applicable law prohibited such setoff or charge against any Account, or (iii)
the Account were closed, then: (A) the Bank may charge such Permitted Debits to and set off same
against any other Account; and (B) if there were insufficient funds in the Account(s) against which
to charge or set off such Permitted Debits, then the Bank shall demand (unless the Bank shall
believe in good faith that any legal process or applicable law prohibits such demand) that the
Company pay, and the Company shall pay, to the Bank promptly upon the Company’s receipt of the
Bank’s written demand therefor, the full amount of all unpaid Permitted Debits.



(c) If (i) there were insufficient funds in the Account(s) against which the Bank could charge or
set off Permitted Debits and the Company shall have failed to pay the Bank the full amount of
unpaid Permitted Debits as described in paragraph (b) of this Section 3, and (ii) the Bank shall
have received and implemented the Notice as provided herein, then the Bank may demand that the
Secured Party pay, and the Secured Party shall pay, to the Bank within five (5) business days of
the Secured Party’s receipt of the Bank’s written demand therefor, the full amount of unpaid
Permitted Debits; provided, however, as to unpaid Permitted Debits that are service charges, fees
or expenses, the Secured Party shall be required to pay to the Bank only those service charges,
fees or expenses attributable to any Account that shall have been incurred in connection with any
Account on or after the date of this Agreement and on or before the date of termination of this
Agreement.

4. Exculpation of Bank



(a) At all times the Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any communication it receives from the
Secured Party or the Company in connection with this Agreement or that the Bank shall believe in
good faith to be a communication received from the Secured Party or the Company in connection with
this Agreement, and the Bank shall have no obligation to investigate or verify the authenticity or
correctness of any such communication. The Bank shall have no liability to the Company or the
Secured Party for (i) honoring or following any instruction the Bank shall receive from (or shall
believe in good faith to be from) the Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii)
honoring or following any instruction the Bank shall receive from (or shall believe in good faith
to be from) the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement prior to the

shall the Bank be responsible for enforcement of any agreement between the Company and the Secured
Party.



(b) The Bank shall be responsible only for the actual loss that a court having jurisdiction over
the Account(s) shall have determined had been incurred by the Company or the Secured Party and had
been caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in its performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. The Bank shall have no liability to any party for failure of, or
delay in, its performance under this Agreement resulting from any “act of God”, war or terrorism,
fire, other catastrophe or force majeure, electrical or computer or telecommunications failure, any
event beyond the control of the Bank, or fraud committed by any third party. Nothing in this
Agreement shall create any agency, fiduciary, joint venture or partnership relationship between the
Bank and the Company or between the Bank and the Secured Party. Except as shall be specifically
required under this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement or applicable law, the Bank shall have no
duty whatsoever to the Company in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement. Except as
shall be specifically required under this Agreement or applicable law, the Bank shall have no duty
whatsoever to the Secured Party in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.



5. Indemnification




(a) The Company hereby indemnifies the Bank and holds it harmless against, and shall reimburse the
Bank for, any loss, damage or expense (including attorneys’ reasonable fees and expenses, court
costs and other expenses) arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the Deposit Agreement,
including, but not limited to, (i) unpaid charges, fees, and Returned Items for which the Company
and/or the Secured Party originally received credit or remittance by the Bank, and (ii) any loss,
damage or expense the Bank shall incur as a result of (A) entering into or acting pursuant to this
Agreement, (B) honoring and following any instruction the Bank may receive from (or shall believe
in good faith to be from) the Secured Party or the Company under this Agreement, and (C) upon
implementation of the Notice, not honoring or following any instruction it shall receive from (or
shall believe in good faith to be from) the Company in accordance with this Agreement. The Company

performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

harmless against any loss, damage or expense (including attorneys’ reasonable fees and expenses,
court costs and other expenses) which the Bank shall incur as a result of honoring or following any
instruction (including the Notice) it shall receive from (or shall believe in good faith to be

statutory attachment, garnishment, levy, claim of a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
post-bankruptcy petition lender, court appointed receiver, or other judicial or regulatory order or

Deposit Agreement, this Agreement or at law or in equity: (i) suspend disbursements from such
Account without any liability until the Bank shall have received an appropriate court order or
other assurances reasonably acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion establishing that funds
may continue to be disbursed according to instructions then applicable to such Account, and/or (ii)
interplead such funds in such Account as permitted by applicable law. The Bank’s costs, expenses
and attorneys’ reasonable fees incurred in connection with any such Claim are Permitted Debits and
shall be reimbursed to the Bank in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 above.

shall be entitled, without any liability, to refuse to (i) permit withdrawals or transfers from the
Account(s) or (ii) accept or comply with the Notice thereafter received by the Bank, until the Bank
shall have received an appropriate court order or other assurances reasonably acceptable to the
Bank in its sole discretion establishing that (A) continued withdrawals or transfers from the

Schedule 1.1(a)




Formation and Structuring Transactions




Holdings consummated an initial public offering of its common stock in February 2006 (the “IPO”).
In connection with the IPO, the following steps occurred on the date on which the IPO was
consummated. The transactions described in paragraphs 1-15 below are referred to collectively as
the “Transactions.” All capitalized terms used in this schedule but not defined in this schedule
shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement dated as of February 17, 2006,
among Morgans Hotel Group Co., Morgans Group LLC, the lenders party thereto, Citicorp North
America, Inc., as Administrative Agent, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Co-Syndication Agents.



1. Certain subsidiaries of Morgans Hotel Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MHG
LLC”), including but not limited to the Borrower, distributed available unrestricted cash to MHG
LLC.



2. The Borrower borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $80,000,000 under the Credit
Agreement.



3. The Borrower distributed $80,000,000 to MHG LLC. MHG LLC distributed that amount to one of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, MMRDH Parent Holding Company LLC.



4. MMRDH Parent Holding Company LLC caused at least $80,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Mezzanine Loans to be repaid.



5. MHG LLC contributed all of its interests in its subsidiaries, except the Excluded Interests (as
defined below), to the Revolving Borrower for no consideration (the “Initial Contribution”). The
“Excluded Interests” shall mean (i) certain residual interests in properties previously transferred
and no longer operated, (ii) MHG LLC’s interest in the Borrower and (iii) its cash balances. The
Revolving Borrower was a wholly owned subsidiary of MHG LLC at the time of the Initial
Contribution.



6. The limited liability company agreement of the Revolving Borrower was amended and restated
to provide for:




	 	•	 	a managing member interest held by Holdings, which gave Holdings the exclusive
responsibility and power to manage the business and affairs of the Revolving Borrower;






	 	•	 	a fixed number of membership units in the Revolving Borrower held by MHG LLC prior to
the contribution of the Borrower for additional membership units as described in paragraph
8 below; and






	 	•	 	redemption/exchange of membership interests in the Revolving Borrower held by
non-managing members for common stock of Holdings on a one-for-one basis.




 


 









 





Following the amendment and restatement, no member of the Revolving Borrower had the ability
to replace Holdings as managing member. In addition, no membership units of the Revolving
Borrower had any disproportionately beneficial rights or privileges.



7. MHG LLC distributed its retained cash and MHG LLC distributed all of its interests in the
Revolving Borrower to its members and other certain persons with rights under participation
agreements (the “Morgans Hotel Group Investors”) in accordance with their respective membership
interests in and other entitlements from MHG LLC. After such distribution NorthStar Partnership,
L.P. owned approximately 85% of the membership interests in the Revolving Borrower, RSA Associates,
L.P. owned approximately 15% of the membership interests in the Revolving Borrower and the Morgans
Hotel Group Investors owned less than 1% of the membership interests in the Revolving Borrower.



8. MHG LLC contributed all of the membership interests in the Borrower to the Revolving Borrower in
return for membership interests in the Revolving Borrower exchangeable for shares of common stock
of Holdings with a value based on the IPO price equal to $20.0 million.



9. MHG LLC guaranteed certain indebtedness of the Revolving Borrower and the Borrower.



10. NorthStar Partnership, L.P. transferred all of its membership units in the Revolving Borrower
to Holdings in exchange for an equal number of shares of common stock
of Holdings. RSA Associates,
L.P. transferred all of its membership units in the Revolving Borrower to Holdings in exchange for
an equal number of shares of common stock of Holdings.



11. Northstar Partnership, L.P. distributed all (but 2.0 million) of the shares of common stock of
Holdings received in paragraph 10 to its partners in accordance with their partnership interests in
NorthStar Partnership, L.P. The transactions described in paragraphs 1-11 of this Schedule
1.1(a) are referred to collectively as the “Formation and Structuring Transactions.”



12. Holdings consummated the IPO and contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to the Revolving
Borrower in exchange for a number of membership units equal to the number of shares of common
stock issued.



13. The Revolving Borrower caused the Debt Prepayment to occur.



14. The Revolving Borrower redeemed the preferred equity interest in Clift Holdings LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, with a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO remaining after the Debt
Prepayment.



15. The Revolving Borrower obtained the Revolving Credit Facility.
