the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be repaid with interest, costs and
charges as more particularly set forth in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the

reborrowed. Lender shall not fund any portion of the Loan from any account holding “plan assets”
of one or more plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101 unless such Loan will not
constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.




               (b) Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loan to make a contribution to Mortgage Borrowers
for use by Mortgage Borrowers to partially prepay the principal balance of the Original Mortgage

Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan for the
preceding Interest Period.




          2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be
calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the
calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c)
the Outstanding Principal Balance. If, at any time, Lender or Borrowers determine that Lender has
miscalculated the Applicable Interest Rate (whether because of a miscalculation of LIBOR or
otherwise), such
party shall notify the other of the necessary correction. Upon the agreement of the parties
as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an increase in the
applicable monthly payment, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from
Lender, pay to Lender the corrected amount. Upon the agreement of the parties as to the
correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an overpayment by Borrowers to
Lender and no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall promptly refund the overpayment to
Borrowers or, at Borrowers’ option, credit such amounts against Borrowers’ payment next due
hereunder.




          2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate. (a) The Applicable Interest Rate with respect

LIBOR Loan and Borrowers shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at LIBOR plus the
Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the Applicable Interest Rate hereunder
due to a change in LIBOR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day of
the applicable Interest Period.



               (c) In the event that Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrowers’ absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination,
confirmed in writing, to Borrowers at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the
related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be
converted, on the first day of the next occurring Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.



               (d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to

and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which
resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of
such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrowers at least one (1) Business Day prior to the
last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime

deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.2.3) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (B) Borrowers shall make such deductions, and (C) Borrowers
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law. If Lender gives Borrowers written notice that any such amounts are payable by
Borrowers, Borrowers shall pay all such amounts to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Legal Requirements by the later of (1) five (5) Business Days after
receipt of demand from Lender and (2) their due date, and, as promptly as possible thereafter,
Borrowers shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy
thereof showing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.



               (ii) Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section
2.2.3(e), each Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including



52









 







Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section
2.2.3) paid by Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that, if
Borrowers determine that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally
imposed or asserted, Lender shall, upon payment by Borrowers of the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, allow Borrowers to contest (and shall cooperate in such contest), the
imposition of such tax upon the reasonable request of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense;
provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to participate in any contest
that would, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to a material commercial disadvantage or require
it to disclose any information it considers confidential or proprietary. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by Lender (together with any supporting
detail reasonably requested by Borrowers), shall be conclusive, provided that such amounts
are determined on a reasonable basis.



               (iii) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under U.S. law, the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrowers are located (if other than the
U.S.), or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this
Agreement shall deliver to Borrowers, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, or as
reasonably requested by Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers
(or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have
been purchased), on or before the date that such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement,
two (2) properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
Form W-8IMY, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or successor forms thereto), claiming a
complete exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrowers
under this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware
of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S.
Lender (unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a change in law) and shall promptly
notify Borrowers at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.



               (iv) Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender that is incorporated under the laws of
the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that, on or before it becomes a party to
this Agreement and from time to time thereafter before the
expiration or obsolescence of the previously delivered form, it will deliver to Borrowers a
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
to establish exemption from United States backup withholding tax. If required by applicable law,
Borrowers are hereby authorized to deduct from any payments due to Lender pursuant to Section
2.2.3 hereof the amount of any withholding taxes resulting from Lender’s failure to comply with
this Section 2.2.3(e)(iv).



               (v) If Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of or
will receive a credit for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which Borrowers have
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), it shall pay over to Borrowers
an amount equal to the additional amounts paid by Borrowers under this Section



53









 




2.2.3(e)
(with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrowers,
upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any interest to
the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to Borrowers) to Lender in the event
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority or is unable to claim the
credit. This Section 2.2.3(e)(v) shall not be construed to require Lender to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.




               (f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, if any
requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall
hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder
(i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a
LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted
automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier
period as required by law. Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation,
any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or
maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder; provided that such additional amount is generally charged by
Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan.



               (g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, in the event
that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or
compliance by Lender with any request or directive having the force of law hereafter issued from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority:




          (i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits
or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit
extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not
otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;




          (ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below
that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by any material amount; or




          (iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the actual out-of-pocket cost to Lender of
maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder;


then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable;




54









 







provided that such additional amount is generally charged by Lender to other borrowers with
loans similar to the Loan. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrowers with not less than ninety (90) days
notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and
the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced
amount.




               (h) Each Borrower agrees to pay to Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual
out-of-pocket expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by
Borrowers in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without
limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of
funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether
voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately
following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date
immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrowers did not
give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender
to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the
conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest
Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any
portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a
date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period,
including, without limitation, such actual out-of-pocket expenses arising from interest or fees
payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder
(the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to
collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not
indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, fraud, illegal
acts or gross negligence. No Breakage Costs shall be due or payable if, in connection with any
prepayment of the Loan by Borrowers, Borrowers pay interest through the next Payment Date as
provided in Section 2.4.1 hereof.



               (i) Subject to Section 2.2.3(e) above, Lender shall not be entitled to claim
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of
return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender
notified Borrowers in writing of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim
of compensation is based and delivered to Borrowers a written statement setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section
2.2.3, which statement, made in good faith, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto absent manifest error.



          2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and
regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any
increased or additional costs payable by Borrowers under Section 2.2.3 hereof, including,
if requested by Borrowers, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of
Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to




55









 







the Loan,
in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or
additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in
any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not separately agreed to by Borrowers to
be reimbursed by Borrowers and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to
Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.




          2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by
law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to
the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such
payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.




          2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall any Borrower be obligated or required to pay
interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil
or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any Borrower is at any time required or obligated to
pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate,
the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum
Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of
the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance,
or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the
Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long
as the Loan is outstanding.




          2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrowers shall enter into one or
more Interest Rate Cap Agreements with a blended LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price.
Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable
Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrowers under
such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt
shall be deemed to exist even if one or more of the Properties, the IP or the Collateral is
transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a
period equal to the current term of the Loan, and (v) when aggregated with all other Interest Rate
Cap Agreements, shall have an initial notional amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan as of the Closing Date. Borrowers shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the
Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to
receive any and all payments under all Interest Rate Cap Agreements, and shall deliver to Lender an
executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreements (which shall, by their respective terms,
authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash
Management Account).




               (b) Borrowers shall comply with all of their obligations under the terms and provisions of
each Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the



56









 




Counterparty under each Interest Rate
Cap Agreement to Borrowers or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management
Account. Borrowers shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s
rights under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and
shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.




               (c) In the event of any downgrade of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty below “AA-” by
S&P or “Aa3” by Moody’s, Borrowers shall replace the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) with
one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements not later than ten (10) Business Days
following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade.



               (d) In the event that Borrowers fail to purchase and deliver to Lender any Interest Rate Cap
Agreement or fail to maintain each Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, after ten (10) Business Days notice to Borrowers and Borrowers’
failure to cure, Lender may purchase the required Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) and the actual
out-of-pocket cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) shall be
paid by Borrowers to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was
incurred by Lender until such actual out-of-pocket cost is reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender.



               (e) In connection with each Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to
Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the
Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in
relevant part, that:




          (i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the
organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its
obligations under, such Interest Rate Cap Agreement;




          (ii) the execution and delivery of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the
Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and
delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have
been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any
provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent
organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding
on or affecting it or its property;




          (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and
delivery by the Counterparty of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other
agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and
the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full
force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other
action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory
body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and



57









 






          (iv) such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the
Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and
delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law).



               (f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in
all Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall terminate and Lender shall, at Borrowers’ reasonable
expense, promptly execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required and prepared by
the Counterparty and/or Borrowers to evidence release of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement.



     Section 2.3 Loan Payment.



          2.3.1 Payments Generally. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the
interest accrued on the Loan for the preceding Interest Period (the “Monthly Interest Payment”),
except that Borrowers shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the interest accrued on the
Outstanding Principal Balance for the initial Interest Period on the Closing Date. For purposes of
making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on
which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the
immediately preceding Business Day. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity
Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the
case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts
due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff,
counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly provided in
Section 2.2.3(e) hereof.




     Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten
(10) days prior written notice to Borrowers, to change the monthly Payment Date to a different
calendar day and to correspondingly adjust the Interest Period and Lender and Borrowers shall
promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence any such changes.



          2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date
the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts due
hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.




          2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under
the Loan Documents (other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by
Borrowers by the date on which it is due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or (b) the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for




58









 







the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.




          2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender
not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office at 11
Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010, Attention: Edmund Taylor, or as otherwise directed by
Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.




     Section 2.4 Prepayments.



          2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. From and after the date hereof, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may, at their option and upon at least ten
(10) days prior written notice to Lender (or such shorter period as may be permitted by Lender),
prepay the Debt in whole or in part, but in no event shall any partial prepayment be less than
$5,000,000.00;
provided that any prepayment is accompanied by (a) if such prepayment occurs on a
date other than a Payment Date, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan
to be paid through, but not including, the next succeeding ninth (9th) day of a calendar month,
or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the
Interest Period immediately prior to the applicable Payment Date; (b) if such prepayment occurs
prior to the Spread Maintenance Release Date, the Spread Maintenance Premium due with respect to
the amount prepaid, if any; and (c) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the
Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Breakage Costs, if any,
the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any, and all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such
prepayment. No Spread Maintenance Premium or, subject to the proviso at the end of this
sentence, any other prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment of
the Loan (i) made after the Spread Maintenance Release Date, or (ii) made from the proceeds of
any Minimum Mandatory Prepayment (or any partial payment on account thereof), Non-Qualified
Mandatory Prepayment, Additional Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment, Release Parcel Release
Price, Adjacent Parcel Release Price and/or IP Release Price; provided, however,
that the applicable Prepayment Fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment of the Loan
made from the proceeds of any Minimum Mandatory Prepayment (or any partial payment on account
thereof), Release Parcel Release Price, Adjacent Parcel Release Price and/or IP Release Price if
any such prepayment shall occur prior to the Prepayment Fee Release Date. If a notice of
prepayment is given by Borrowers to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount
designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be
due and payable on the proposed prepayment date; provided, however, Borrowers
shall have the right to postpone or revoke such prepayment upon written notice to Lender not
less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is due so long as Borrowers
pay Lender and/or Servicer all actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by
Lender and/or Servicer in connection with such postponement or revocation.

          2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments.




               (a) Minimum Mandatory Prepayment and Alternative Minimum Mandatory Letter of Credit.



               (i) Section 2.4.2(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement contains provisions requiring Mortgage
Borrowers to either (A) pay to Mortgage Lender a mandatory prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding
Principal Balance in the Minimum Mandatory Amount (the “Minimum Mandatory Prepayment”), or (B)
deliver to Mortgage Lender the Alternative Minimum Mandatory Letter of Credit and the Alternative
Minimum Interest Reserve Amount, in each case, in the event that the entire Release Parcel has not
been sold pursuant to one or more Release Parcel Sales consummated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.5.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation,
the payment of the Release Parcel Release Price(s) resulting from any such Release Parcel Sale(s),
on or prior to the First Anniversary, subject to extension upon satisfaction of certain conditions
as set forth in Section 2.4.2(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.



               (ii) Lender hereby consents to the payment of any Minimum Mandatory Prepayment or delivery of

of the Mortgage Loan Agreement provided that:

to Lender a copy of all requests and other notices relating to such Minimum
Mandatory Prepayment or Alternative Minimum Mandatory Letter of Credit delivered

Minimum Mandatory Prepayment or Alternative Minimum Mandatory Letter of Credit
also run for the benefit of Lender; and




               (C) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to deposit directly into the
Mortgage Cash Management Account an amount equal to the sum of the Minimum
Mandatory Prepayment (or deliver an Alternative Minimum Mandatory Letter of
Credit in lieu thereof) determined in accordance with the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, which funds shall be applied by Mortgage Lender as provided in
Section 2.4.3(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Section 2.4.4(b)
hereof, plus (1) if such Minimum Mandatory Prepayment (or a partial
payment on account thereof) occurs on a date other than a Payment Date, all
interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan

succeeding ninth (9th) day of a calendar month (subject to Section 2.4.6
hereof), or, if such Minimum Mandatory Prepayment (or a partial payment on
account thereof) occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of
the Interest Period immediately prior to the



60









 







applicable Payment Date, (2) the
applicable Prepayment Fee, and (3) all other sums due and payable under this

Agreement and Section 2.4.4(b) hereof applicable to a prepayment following the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Mortgage Event of Default.



               (iv) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, if the Loan or any portion thereof is then
outstanding, the provisions of Section 2.4.2(b) and Section 2.4.2(e) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement
and all related definitions shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety, but the
terms used therein shall mean and refer to the correlative terms defined herein.



               (b) Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment.



               (i) Section 2.4.2(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement contains provisions requiring Mortgage
Borrowers to either (A) pay to Mortgage Lender on or prior to the Construction Qualification Date a
mandatory prepayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance in the amount of $50,000,000.00
(the “Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment”), or (B) deliver to Mortgage Lender the Non-Qualified
Prepayment Letter of Credit, in each case, in the event that Mortgage Borrowers shall deliver a
Relinquishment Notice or in the event that a Deemed Relinquishment shall occur, and whether or not
the entire Release Parcel shall have been sold pursuant to one or more Release Parcel Sales in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.



               (ii) Lender hereby consents to the payment of any Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment or

Lender a copy of all requests and other notices (including any Relinquishment
Notice) relating to such Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment or Non-Qualified
Prepayment Letter of Credit delivered to Mortgage Lender concurrently with delivery
of the same to Mortgage Lender;



61









 






               (B) all certifications made by Mortgage Borrowers in connection with such
Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment or Non-Qualified Prepayment Letter of Credit
also run for the benefit of Lender; and




               (C) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to deposit directly into the
Mortgage Cash Management Account an amount equal to the sum of the Non-Qualified
Mandatory Prepayment (or deliver a Non-Qualified Prepayment Letter of Credit in lieu
thereof) determined in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, which funds
shall be applied by Mortgage Lender as provided in Section 2.4.3(b) of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and Section 2.4.4(b) hereof, plus (1) if such
Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment occurs on a date other than a Payment Date, all
interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan and
the Mezzanine Loans to be prepaid through, but not including, the next succeeding
ninth (9th) day of a calendar month (subject to Section 2.4.6 hereof), or,
if such Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and
including the last day of the Interest Period immediately prior to the applicable
Payment Date, and (2) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the Note,
and the other Loan

(and the Components thereof), the Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and the Third Mezzanine Loan
based on the following formula: Mortgage Lender, Lender, Second Mezzanine Lender and/or Third
Mezzanine Lender, as applicable, shall be entitled to an amount equal to the product resulting from
multiplying (a) the amount of the applicable Prepayment Fee, by (b) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the amount of the applicable Prepayment Fee-Generating Prepayment allocated to the
Mortgage Loan (or the applicable Component thereof), the Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan or the
Third Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable provision of Section 2.4.3 of the

during the continuance of a Mortgage Event of Default, Mortgage Lender shall have
the right, at its option, to draw on any Debt Yield Letter of Credit and to apply
all or any part of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.4.3(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Section 2.4.4(a) hereof
applicable to a prepayment following the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Mortgage Event of Default.




     (iii) In addition to any other right Mortgage Lender may have to draw upon a
Debt Yield Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement, Mortgage Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full on
any Debt Yield Letter of Credit: (A) with respect to any evergreen Debt Yield
Letter of Credit, if Mortgage Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank
that such Debt Yield Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Debt
Yield Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
date on which the outstanding Debt Yield Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire;
(B) with respect to any Debt Yield Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date,
if Mortgage Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has
renewed such Debt Yield Letter of Credit at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date on which such Debt Yield Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a
substitute Debt Yield Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Debt Yield Letter of Credit is
scheduled to expire; (C) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that such Debt
Yield Letter of Credit will be terminated and a substitute Debt Yield Letter of
Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which
the outstanding Debt Yield Letter of Credit is scheduled to be terminated; or (D) if
Mortgage Lender has received notice that the bank issuing any Debt Yield Letter of
Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and within ten (10) Business Days
after Mortgage Lender notifies Mortgage Borrowers in writing of such circumstance,
Mortgage Borrowers shall fail to deliver to Mortgage Lender a substitute Debt Yield
Letter of Credit issued by an Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the above, Mortgage Lender is not obligated to draw upon any
Debt Yield Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in clause
(A), (B), (C) or (D) above and shall not be liable for any losses
sustained by Mortgage Borrowers due to the insolvency of the bank issuing any such
Debt Yield Letter of Credit if Mortgage Lender has not drawn upon such Debt Yield
Letter of Credit.

          4.1.6 Title.




               (a) Such Borrower is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to, its
Pledged Interests, free and clear of all Liens, except those Liens granted to Lender under the Loan
Documents. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the
Pledged Collateral when properly filed in the appropriate records, will create a valid, perfected
first priority security interest in and to the portion of the Pledged Collateral covered thereby,
all in accordance with the terms thereof for which a Lien can be perfected by filing a UCC
Financing Statement. For so long as the Lien of the Pledge Agreement is outstanding, such Borrower
shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the Lien of
the Pledge Agreement and shall forever warrant and defend such title, validity and priority to
Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever.



               (b) Each Mortgage Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real
property comprising part of its Property and good title to the balance of such Property, free and
clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents.



               (c) To the best of each Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the
aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the operation or use of the Properties (as
currently used) or such Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan or Mortgage Borrowers ability to repay
the Mortgage Loan.



               (d) To such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, there are no claims for payment for
work, labor or materials affecting any of the Properties that are or may become a Lien prior to, or
of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, except any Lien then
being contested pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage.



          4.1.7 Solvency. Borrowers have (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the
Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their obligations under
such Loan Documents. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrowers’
assets collectively exceeds and will exceed Borrowers’ total aggregate liabilities, including,
without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. Taking into
account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets collectively is and will
be greater than Borrowers’ probable aggregate liabilities, including the maximum amount of their
contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Taking into account
the Loan, each Borrower’s assets do not and will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrowers do not intend to, and do
not believe that they will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities
and other commitments) beyond their respective abilities to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities
as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each Borrower
and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of each Borrower). No petition in
bankruptcy has been filed against any Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor, and none of the Loan
Parties, HRHI nor any




93









 




Guarantor has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any
insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of the Loan Parties, HRHI nor any Guarantor are
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or
insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and no
Borrower has any actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition
against any Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor.




          4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge, no statement
of fact made by any Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact or circumstance presently
known to such Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender and which will have a material
adverse effect on (a) the use and operation of any of the Properties, the IP, or the Collateral,
(b) the enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien
created under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, or (c) the
ability of such Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material
respects, its respective obligations under each of the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan
Documents, as applicable.




          4.1.9 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan (a)
no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will
constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101, (c) no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) none of the assets of any Borrower constitute “plan assets” of a
governmental plan within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 for purposes of any state law
provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.




          4.1.10 Compliance. Except as set forth in the applicable Zoning Report, each Loan
Party and, to the best of such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the Land and
Improvements (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal
Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes and
Prescribed Laws. No Loan Party is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree
or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by any Loan Party or, to any
Borrower’s actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use
of any of the Properties or the Collateral any act or omission affording the federal government or
any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Property, the Collateral or
any part of either of the foregoing or any monies paid in performance of any Mortgage Borrower’s
obligations under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or paid in performance of any Borrower’s
obligations under any of the Loan Documents.




          4.1.11 Financial Information. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge, all historical
financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating
expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and
correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent in all material respects the financial
condition of the Properties (and each Property) and the Collateral, as applicable, as




94









 




of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent
certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of
Accounts and reconciled with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein.
Except for Permitted Encumbrances and except as referred to or reflected in said financial
statements previously delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, no Loan Party has any
contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or
unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to any Borrower
and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Collateral or any Property or
(a) the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal
to Comparable Hotel/Casinos, including, without limitation, comparable food and beverage outlets
and other amenities, and/or (b) the operation of the Café Property and the Adjacent Property for a
use or uses that is/are consistent with the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and
casino at a standard at least equal to Comparable Hotel/Casinos, which use may include, without
limitation, expansion of the Hotel/Casino Property, restaurants, retail and residential complexes
(the “Permitted Adjacent/Café Uses”). Since the date of such financial statements, there has been
no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of any Loan Party or,
to each Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, to the Collateral and, to the extent not
prohibited by the Merger Agreement, any Property from that set forth in said financial statements.




          4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to
each Borrower’s actual knowledge, is threatened in writing received by such Borrower or
contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Property or for the relocation of any
roadway providing direct access to any Property.




          4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used
for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any
purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.




          4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due
inquiry, each Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary
sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its intended uses. All
public utilities necessary to the continued current use and enjoyment of each Property are located
either in the public right-of-way abutting such Property (which are connected so as to serve such
Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Property and
such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy covering such Property.
To such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, all roads necessary for the use of each
Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by
all Governmental Authorities or are located in recorded easements serving such Property and such
easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy.




          4.1.15 Not a Foreign Person. No Borrower is a “foreign person” within the meaning of
§1445(f)(3) of the Code.




95

constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a
part of such Property.




          4.1.17 Assessments. Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance Policy, to each
Borrower’s actual knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for
public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any contemplated
improvements to any Property that may result in such special or other assessments.




          4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor, including the defense of
usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of
debtors’ obligations), and none of any Borrower, HRHI nor any Guarantor has asserted any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.




          4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. Other than under the Mortgage Loan Documents, there are
no prior assignments by Mortgage Borrowers of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and

assignments of the Collateral which are presently outstanding except in accordance with the Loan
Documents.




          4.1.20 Insurance. Mortgage Borrowers have obtained and Borrowers have delivered to
Lender certified copies of all Policies (or “Accord” certificates evidencing coverage thereof)
reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No

competition or activities or actions of any anti-competitive nature, together with

imposition of any restriction thereon.



               (f) None of the Loan Parties nor, to Borrowers’ actual knowledge, Gaming Operator have

termination of, any Gaming License or other Operating Permit or any material impairment of the

ARTICLE V.

COVENANTS OF BORROWERS




     Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and
performance in full of all obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents or the earlier release
of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement encumbering the Collateral (and all related obligations) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrowers hereby jointly
and severally covenant and agree with Lender that:



          5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply, or
cause Mortgage Borrowers to comply, in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable
to such Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers, the Collateral, the Properties or the IP, including, without
limitation, Prescribed Laws. There shall never be committed by any Borrower, and no Borrower
shall, nor shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, knowingly permit any other Person in occupancy of or
involved with the operation or use of any of the Properties to commit, any act or omission
affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against
the Collateral and/or any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of any
Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents or paid in performance of Mortgage
Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants
and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of
forfeiture. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, at all times maintain,
preserve and protect in all material respects all franchises and trade names and preserve all the
remainder of its property necessary for the conduct of its business as contemplated hereunder, and,
subject to Mortgage Borrowers’ right to demolish the Improvements on the Adjacent Property subject
to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.18 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, shall
keep the Properties in good working order and repair in all material respects, and from time to
time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrowers shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to keep the



107









 







Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent
and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided
in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the O&M Agreements in all material respects. After
prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest, or may cause Mortgage
Borrowers to contest, by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good
faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal
Requirement to any Loan Party, the Collateral or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal
Requirement, provided that (a) no Event of Default, Mortgage Event of Default or any
Mezzanine Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted
under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which such Loan Party
is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither any Property nor the
Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold,

determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (e) such
proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against such Loan
Party, the Collateral or any Property; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage
Borrowers to furnish, such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably
requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest
and penalties payable in connection therewith. Following any non-compliance with such Legal
Requirement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender may apply any such security,
as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable
judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally
established or the Collateral or any Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in
imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.



          5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers
to pay, all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Properties or any part thereof prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall
begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers’ obligation to
directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Mortgage Borrowers comply with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or Borrowers comply with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers will deliver, or will cause
Mortgage Borrowers to deliver, to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to
Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrowers
shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to Lender receipts for the payment of
the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall
begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers shall not be
required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid
by Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or by Lender pursuant to
Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers shall not suffer, and shall not permit
Mortgage Borrowers to suffer, and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide
reasonable security for) any Lien or charge against any of the Properties or the Collateral, and
shall promptly pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay, for all utility services



108









 







provided to any of the Properties. After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own
expense, may contest, or may cause Mortgage Borrowers to contest, by appropriate legal proceeding,
promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or
application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Event
of Default, Mortgage Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default exists; (b) such proceeding
shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument
to which such Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers is subject and shall not constitute a default
thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws
and ordinances; (c) neither any Property, the Collateral nor any part thereof or interest therein
will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) such
Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
pay, the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties
which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of
such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Property and the Collateral; and (f) such
Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, such security as may be
required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of
any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay
over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any
time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or
the Collateral or any Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any imminent danger of the Lien of
the Pledge Agreement being primed by any related Lien.



          5.1.3 Litigation. Borrowers shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or
governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against any Loan Party, HRHI or any
Guarantor which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on (a) the business
operations, economic performance, assets, financial condition, equity, contingent liabilities,
material agreements or results of operations of any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any Property,
the IP or the Collateral, (b) the enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection
or priority of any Lien created under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan
Document, (c) the ability of any Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material
respects, its respective obligations under each of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Loan
Documents, as applicable, or (d) the value of, or cash flow from, any Property, the IP or the
Collateral.

disbursed to the Cash Management Account or otherwise to be paid to Borrowers or Lender pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents (including the Mortgage Loan Agreement and/or the Mortgage
Cash Management Agreement), or are required to be paid to
Lender under any of the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall exercise their rights to cause
Mortgage Borrowers to make to Borrowers distributions in an aggregate amount such that



109









 







Lender shall
receive the amount required to be disbursed to Lender from the Cash Management Account or otherwise
paid to Lender on such date.



          5.1.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate, and shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to reasonably cooperate, fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings
before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which in any way materially affects the

and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such
proceedings.



          5.1.7 Perform Loan Documents. Borrowers shall observe, perform and satisfy all the

provisions of Section 10.13 hereof.



          5.1.8 Award and Insurance Benefits. Subject to the terms of Article VI

the time periods required under such Section.



               (c) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall submit to Lender (and
Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to submit to Mortgage Lender) an Annual Budget not later
than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory
to Lender. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s and Mortgage Lender’s written reasonable
approval (each such Annual Budget, as and when approved or deemed approved pursuant to this
Section 5.1.11(c), the “Approved Annual Budget”). Lender’s approval of a proposed Annual
Budget shall be deemed to have been given if (i) such proposed Annual Budget is submitted to Lender
with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or
larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET AND IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN
TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, BORROWERS MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE” and Lender does not respond
by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating in reasonable detail its objections to such
proposed Annual Budget within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt thereof, and (ii) after
Lender’s failure to respond to the initial request for approval of such proposed Annual Budget
within the time period set forth in the foregoing clause (i), Borrowers shall re-submit to
Lender (and Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to re-submit to Mortgage Lender) such proposed
Annual Budget with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in
14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. APPROVAL WILL BE
DEEMED GIVEN IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS” and Lender does not respond
to such second submission of such proposed Annual Budget by approving such proposed Annual Budget
or stating in reasonable detail its objection thereto within three (3) Business Days of Lender’s
receipt of such second submission. In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget
submitted by any Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrowers of such objections within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of
such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to
Lender. Lender shall advise Borrowers of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such
objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise (or cause the applicable Manager to revise) the
same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves each Annual
Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have
approved such Annual Budget), the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply;
provided, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be automatically adjusted (i) to reflect
actual increases in Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to each Property, (ii) by three
percent (3%) on all other items to account for inflation, and (iii) to reflect any expenses that
must be incurred on an “emergency basis” in order to prevent the occurrence of any harm to any
individuals on any Property or any Property itself or the operation thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate amount of costs set forth in a proposed
Annual Budget have been approved by Lender, then until such time as Lender and Mortgage Lender
approve the entirety of such proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have approved the entirety of
such proposed Annual Budget in accordance with this Section 5.1.11(c)), (A) such approved
portions of such proposed Annual Budget shall apply and shall constitute an



112









 







“Approved Annual
Budget” with respect only to such portions, (B) the remainder of such proposed Annual Budget shall
be automatically adjusted as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and (C) Borrowers and
Lender shall diligently continue the process of agreeing to the remaining costs as set forth in
this Section 5.1.11(c) for the approval of the Annual Budget as a whole.



               (d) In the event that any Mortgage Borrower must incur any non-recurring extraordinary
Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget then in effect
(each, an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender (and Borrowers
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly deliver to Mortgage Lender) a reasonably detailed
explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no prior approval by Lender shall be required for any Extraordinary Expense needed to be
incurred immediately to prevent imminent injury to person or damage to property, provided that
within three (3) Business Days thereafter Borrowers shall provide reasonably satisfactory evidence
to Lender to demonstrate the imminent necessity and reasonableness of the Extraordinary Expense
incurred.



               (e) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender
expects that any or more Borrowers alone or any one or more Borrowers and one or more Affiliates of
any Borrower collectively, or the Collateral or any one or more of the Properties alone or any one
or more of the Properties and any one or more Related Properties collectively, will be a
Significant Obligor, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to
Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income,
required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the
Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the
principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such
Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a
Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the
aggregate principal amount of all mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as
applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2)
of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related
Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan
together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time
during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed
twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mezzanine loans included or expected
to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements
shall be furnished to Lender (A) within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice from Lender in
connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than
forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter of Borrowers, and (C) not later than
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of Borrowers; provided,
however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial
statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any
period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in
connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required.
If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to
Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any Property, but only to the
extent such tenant is required to provide such financial data and/or financial statements under its



113









 







Lease, if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such
tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mezzanine loans included
or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of
affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.



               (f) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers pursuant to Section
5.1.11(e) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and shall meet the requirements of
Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements. All financial statements referred to in
Section 5.1.11(e) hereof shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrowers or
Mortgage Borrowers reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other
applicable Legal Requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the
independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all
other applicable Legal Requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed
written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange
Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such
independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of
which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be
provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrowers
or Mortgage Borrowers under Section 5.1.11(e) hereof shall be accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate of each Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet
the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.11(f).



               (g) If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall provide, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
provide, Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or
financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be
required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other
Legal Requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as
shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.



               (h) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the
financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any
amendment, modification or replacement thereto or any other Legal Requirements are other than as
provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1.11(e) and (f)
hereof, Lender may request, and Borrowers shall promptly provide, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers
to provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary
or appropriate for such compliance.



               (i) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this
Section 5.1.11 shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a compact disk or DVD, and
(iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrowers’ or Mortgage Borrowers’ data
systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared
using Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared
using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files). Borrowers agree that Lender may
disclose information regarding the Properties, the Collateral and any Loan Party that



114









 







is provided
to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with any Securitization to such
parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.



          5.1.12 Business and Operations. Borrowers will continue, and will cause Mortgage
Borrowers to continue, to engage in the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent
the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Collateral,
the Properties or the IP, as applicable. Each Borrower will qualify, and will cause Mortgage
Borrowers to qualify, to do business and will remain, and will cause Mortgage Borrowers to remain,
in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the same are required for
the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Collateral, the Properties or the IP,
as applicable.




          5.1.13 Title to the Collateral, the Properties and the IP. (a) Borrowers will
warrant and defend (i) the title to the Collateral and every part thereof, subject only to Liens
permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances) or under the Pledge Agreement, and (ii) the
validity and priority of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement, subject only to Liens permitted
hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons
whomsoever.




               (b) Borrowers will cause Mortgage Borrowers to warrant and defend (i) the title to each
Property, the Owned IP and any right in and under all IP Agreements with respect to Licensed IP,
and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted
Encumbrances, Permitted IP Encumbrances and the asset sales and releases permitted under this
Agreement), and (ii) the validity and priority of the Liens of the Mortgage, the Assignment of
Leases and the IP Assignments, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted
Encumbrances and Permitted IP Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons
whomsoever.



               (c) Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for any actual losses, actual costs, actual damages
(excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or reasonable
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest
in the Collateral, any Property or the IP, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another
Person.



          5.1.14 Costs of Enforcement. In the event (a) that the Pledge Agreement is foreclosed
in whole or in part or that the Pledge Agreement is put into the hands of an attorney for
collection, suit, action or foreclosure, or (b) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or
other similar proceeding in respect of any Borrower or any of its Constituent Members or an
assignment by any Borrower or any of its Constituent Members for the benefit of its creditors, and
Lender incurs costs in connection with any such proceeding as a direct or indirect result of the
Loan, then, in any of the foregoing instances, each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its
successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs of
collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or any Borrower
in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment
action involved therein.




115









 








          5.1.15 Estoppel Statement. (a) After request by Lender from time to time, but in no
event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period except in connection with a
Securitization, Borrowers shall within ten (10) Business Days furnish Lender with a statement, duly
acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original principal amount of the Loan, (ii) the
Outstanding Principal Balance, (iii) the Applicable Interest Rate of the Loan, (iv) the date an
installment of interest was last paid, (v) any offsets or, to the best of each Borrower’s actual
knowledge, defenses to the payment of the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Note, this Agreement, the
Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrowers
and have not been modified or, if modified, giving particulars of such modification.




               (b) After request by Borrowers, but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)
month period, Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days furnish Borrowers with a statement, duly
acknowledged and certified, stating (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance, (ii) the Applicable
Interest Rate, (iii) the date an installment of interest was last paid, and (iv) whether or not
Lender has sent any notice of default under the Loan Documents which remains uncured in the opinion
of Lender.



               (c) Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of written request, tenant estoppel certificates from
each commercial tenant leasing space at any of the Properties, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender; provided that, except in connection with a Securitization,
Borrowers shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than once in any
calendar year or less frequently if, and to the extent, so restricted by the terms of any Leases
entered into prior to the Closing Date (other than the HRHI Lease).



               (d) Borrowers shall deliver, within ten (10) Business Days after request by Lender from time
to time, estoppel certificates from each Mortgage Borrower and/or each Mezzanine Borrower, covering
substantially the same matters as set forth in clause (a) above and any other matters
reasonably requested by Lender.



          5.1.16 Loan Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loan received by them
on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Section 2.1.2 hereof.




          5.1.17 Performance by Borrowers. (a) Borrowers shall, in a timely manner and in all
material respects, observe, perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and provision of each
Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, any Borrower, and shall not enter into
or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification
of any Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, any Borrower without the prior
consent of Lender.




               (b) Except for changes to the Mortgage Loan Documents that Mortgage Borrowers are obligated to
enter into pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrowers shall not cause or
permit Mortgage Borrowers to enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment, waiver,
supplement, termination or other modification of any
Mortgage Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Mortgage Borrowers as of
the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Lender which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to



116









 







provide
Lender with a copy of any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification to the
Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) days after the execution thereof.



               (c) Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party to, (i) amend or modify the
organizational documents of such Loan Party in any respect without Lender’s prior written consent,
or (ii) take any action that would cause the membership interests of any other Loan Party to cease
to constitute “certificated securities” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the States of
New York and Delaware) without Lender’s prior written consent.



          5.1.18 Confirmation of Representations. Borrowers shall deliver, in connection with
any Securitization, (a) one or more Officer’s Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all
representations made by Borrowers in the Loan Documents as of the date of the closing of such
Securitization in all relevant jurisdictions (or if any such representations are no longer
accurate, providing an explanation as to the reason for such inaccuracy), and (b) certificates of
the relevant Governmental Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing
and qualification of each Borrower and each Mortgage Borrower as of the date of the Securitization.

cause Mortgage Borrowers not to suffer, permit or initiate, the joint assessment of any Property
(a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from such Property, and (b) which
constitutes real property with any portion of such Property which may be deemed to constitute
personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against
such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of the
Property.




          5.1.20 Leasing Matters. Any Major Leases with respect to any Property executed after
the date hereof shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that renewals of any Major
Lease by Mortgage Borrowers initially executed prior to the Closing Date shall not require the
approval of Lender if the terms of any such Lease provided for renewals at a reasonably
determinable rent. Upon request, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
furnish, Lender with executed copies of all Leases. All proposed Major Leases shall be on
commercially reasonable terms and no Lease shall contain any terms which would materially adversely
affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or Mortgage Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan
Documents. All Leases executed after the Closing Date shall provide that they are subordinate to
the Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Mortgage Lender or any purchaser at a sale by
foreclosure or power of sale, provided that, with respect to Major Leases and except with
respect to the HRHI Lease, Mortgage Lender provides commercially reasonable non-disturbance
language. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to (i) observe and perform the obligations
imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) enforce the
terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to
be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable
manner and in a manner not to impair the value of any Property involved, except that no
termination by any Mortgage Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Major Lease
(including, without limitation, the HRHI Lease) will be permitted without the consent of




117









 




Lender;
(iii) not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security
deposits); (iv) not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents
(except as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents); and (v) not alter, modify or change the
terms of (A) the HRHI Lease other than any ministerial, non-monetary amendment or modification, or
(B) any other Major Lease in any material manner, in each of the foregoing instances, without the
prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. To the extent Lender’s approval
is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.20, Lender shall endeavor to respond to a request
for Lender’s approval within ten (10) Business Days after Borrowers’ written request therefor,
delivered together with any documents or information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder
in connection with Lender’s review of the proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major
Lease termination. If the correspondence from Borrowers requesting such approval contains the
following statement at the top of the first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type
lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING
WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender shall fail to
respond to or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing (stating in reasonable detail
the reason for such disapproval) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Borrowers’ written
request therefor together with the documents and information required above and any other
information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such ten (10)
Business Day period in order to adequately review the same, then Borrowers shall re-submit such
proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination and accompanying information
to Lender with a request for approval containing the following statement at the top of the first
page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO
EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL
SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender does not respond to such second request by approving such
proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination or stating its objection
thereto within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission, Lender’s
approval shall be deemed given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Borrowers shall not permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to enter into a lease of all or
substantially all of any Property without Lender’s prior consent.




          5.1.21 Alterations. Other than the construction of the Project, which shall be
governed by the provisions of Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall, or shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to, obtain Lender’s prior consent to any material alterations to any
Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any
alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on any Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s
financial condition, the value of the Collateral, the applicable Property or the Net Operating
Income, provided that such alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement
work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease, (b) do not materially adversely affect any
structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements
or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements and the aggregate cost
thereof does not exceed the Alteration Threshold Amount, or (c) are
performed in connection with the Restoration of a Property after the occurrence of a Casualty
or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and this
Agreement. To the extent Lender’s prior written approval is required pursuant to this




118









 




Section
5.1.21, Lender shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt of written request and any
and all reasonably required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or
disapprove such request and such written request shall state thereon in bold letters of 14 point
font or larger that action is required by Lender. If Lender fails to approve or disapprove the
request within such fifteen (15) Business Days, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. Should
Lender fail to approve any such request, Lender shall give Borrowers written notice setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis for such disapproval. In no event shall Lender require any “consent
fee” as a condition to any required approval. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with
respect to alterations to the Improvements at any Property (other than such amounts to be paid or
reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold Amount,
Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as
additional security for Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A)
cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the
applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned to any Securities or
any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, (D) a Letter of Credit, or (E) a
completion and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank; provided, however, that
(i) in the event Mortgage Borrowers are required to and do deliver such security to Mortgage Lender
under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and (ii) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably
acceptable to it of the delivery of such security by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender, then
Borrowers shall not be required to deliver any such security to Lender. Such security (if given as
set forth above) shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect
to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Property (other than such amounts to be paid
or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold Amount and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option
of Lender to pay for such alterations.




          5.1.22 Operation of the Properties.




               (a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties, in all material
respects, in accordance with the applicable Management Agreement. In the event that any Management
Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to obtain Lender’s
consent to any termination or modification of any Management Agreement, if applicable, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrowers shall cause Mortgage
Borrowers to promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with the applicable Manager or
another Qualified Manager, as applicable.



               (b) Borrowers shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in
all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by
such Mortgage Borrower under the Management Agreement and/or the Sub-Management Agreement to which
such Mortgage Borrower is a party and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired
such Mortgage Borrower’s material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material
default under the Management
Agreement and/or the Sub-Management Agreement of which such Mortgage Borrower or Borrower is
aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital
expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by such Mortgage Borrower



119









 







under the
Management Agreement; and/or the Sub-Management Agreement and (iv) enforce the performance and
observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed
by the Manager under the Management Agreement and by Sub-Manager under the Sub-Management
Agreement, in each of the foregoing instances, in a commercially reasonable manner.



               (c) Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at all times, operate and maintain (or
cause to be operated and maintained) the Hotel/Casino Property and the Casino Component as a hotel
and casino resort in accordance with standards at least equivalent to the Comparable Hotel/Casinos.
The theme of the Hotel/Casino Property and the Casino Component shall not be materially changed
without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to cause the Hotel/Casino Property to be at all times
open for business as a hotel and the Casino Component to be open at all times for business as a
casino, other than as provided under the Gaming Sublease, pursuant to Legal Requirements, temporary
closures as a result of Casualty or other events outside the reasonable control of Borrowers and
Mortgage Borrowers.



          5.1.23 Liquor Management at Hotel/Casino Property.




               (a) Unless and until Hotel/Casino Borrower has obtained all Governmental Approvals necessary
to provide all alcoholic beverage services provided at the Hotel/Casino Property as of the Closing
Date, Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to cause all alcoholic beverage services at the
Hotel/Casino Property to be managed by a Liquor Manager in accordance with a Liquor Management
Agreement and Borrowers shall use, or shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to use, commercially
reasonable best efforts to conduct and/or to cause to be conducted the alcoholic beverage services
at the Hotel/Casino Property in such a manner so as to maximize Gross Income from Operations at the
Properties in the aggregate. In the event that a Liquor Management Agreement expires or is
terminated (without limiting any obligation of Hotel/Casino Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to
any termination or modification of any Liquor Management Agreement, if applicable, in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to
promptly enter into a Replacement Liquor Management Agreement with the Liquor Manager or another
Qualified Liquor Manager, as applicable.



               (b) Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in
all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by
it under the Liquor Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep
unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default
under the Liquor Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy
of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate
received by it under the Liquor Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and
observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed
by the Liquor Manager under the Liquor Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.



               (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall, at
the request of Lender, cause the Liquor Manager, if one of the Loan



120









 







Parties or an Affiliate of any
Loan Party, to continue to perform all obligations under the Liquor Management Agreement.
Additionally, Borrowers shall, upon and after the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other
similar transfer of the Hotel/Casino Property to Mortgage Lender, its designee or nominee (a
“Mortgage Lender Successor Owner”), cause Mortgage Borrowers to comply with the provisions of
Section 5.1.23 (c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.



          5.1.24 Gaming Operations at the Hotel/Casino Property.




               (a) All gaming operations conducted at the Hotel/Casino Property shall at all times be
operated by a Qualified Gaming Operator and Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to use
commercially reasonable best efforts to conduct and/or to cause to be conducted the gaming
operations in such a manner so as to maximize Gross Income from Operations at the Properties in the
aggregate. Lender acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, Golden HRC, LLC is a
Qualified Gaming Operator.

time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion, that (i)
such Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is

(ii) none of the assets of such Borrower constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of Section
3(3) of ERISA for purposes of any state law provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary
obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following

Collateral and Mortgage Borrowers in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on
Borrowers’ ownership of the Collateral as a means of maintaining the value of the Collateral as
security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan
Documents. Additionally, Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the
experience of Mortgage Borrowers and their general partners, members, principals and (if any
Mortgage Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties
such as the Properties and in owning intellectual property such as the IP, in agreeing to make the

means of maintaining the value of the Properties and the IP and, therefore, indirectly the value of
the Collateral, as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations
contained in the Loan Documents. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has a valid interest in
maintaining the value of the Collateral so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the
repayment of the Debt or the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender
can recover the Debt by a sale of the Collateral.

any Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or any IP or any part
thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or the Collateral or any part thereof or any
legal or beneficial interest therein; or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of any interest in any
Transfer Restricted Party (any of the actions in the foregoing clauses (i) or

in connection with the creation of Third Mezzanine Borrowers; and



130

including specifically, but without limitation, any Gaming Laws.

               (b) If any Mortgage Distributions shall be received by any Borrower or any Affiliate of any
Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower

          5.2.16 Acquisition of the Mortgage Loan.




               (a) No Loan Party, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of any of them or any Person acting at any such
Person’s request or direction, shall acquire or agree to acquire Mortgage Lender’s interest in the
Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership
interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan (other than any passive minority interest in the holder
of the Mortgage Loan obtained by any Person), via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and
any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrowers shall have failed to comply with
the foregoing, then Borrowers: (i) shall



135









 







immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited
parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan
Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or
have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the
Mortgage Loan, (2) reconvey and release the Lien securing the Mortgage Loan and any other
collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement
proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.



               (b) Lender shall have the right at any time to acquire all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan

ARTICLE VI.

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION




     Section 6.1 Insurance. (a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to obtain and
maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times during the term of the Loan the insurance
required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting
all insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause
Lender to be named as an additional named insured under each of the insurance policies described in
Section 6.1(a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vii), and (xii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and Borrowers
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with
Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the insurance policies required under Section
6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to cause all insurance policies required



136









 







under this Section 6.1 to provide for at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the
event of policy cancellation or material changes. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to
the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof,
certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies reasonably satisfactory to Lender and accompanied
by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the
“Insurance Premiums”) shall be delivered by Borrowers to Lender; provided, however, that in the
case of renewal Policies, Borrowers may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the
original Policies when issued.



               (b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full
force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon two (2) Business Days’ written notice to
Borrowers, to take such reasonable action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the
Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in
its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such
action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender
within ten (10) days after demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.



               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, proof of all property coverages
required under Section 6.1(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be on an Acord 28 Evidence of
Property Form (2003/10 version) or on such other binding form as is then generally used or is
otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender.



               (d) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the
insurance referred to above (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages
thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to Section
6.1(a)(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as are provided in favor of Mortgage Lender in the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall
provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of each of the Loan Parties. The Policies
delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described
in Section 6.1(e) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same
rights as Mortgage Lender as referred to in such Section 6.1(e).



               (e) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and all related definitions shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their
entirety.



     Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or
in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that such Property
resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such
Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (to the extent such
alterations are of a type that would require Lender’s approval under Section 5.1.21 hereof) and
otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A)
Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds



137









 







available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4
of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C)
Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Borrowers
shall not be required to cause Mortgage Borrowers to repair and restore such Property unless and
until such Net Proceeds are made available to Mortgage Borrowers. It is expressly understood,
however, that Mortgage Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore such Property to the precise
condition of such Property prior to such Casualty provided such Property is restored, to the
extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as
prior to the Casualty. Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay, all costs
of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall
not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by any Borrower or any Mortgage
Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance
companies (and shall approve any final settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net
Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration
Threshold and the applicable Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to,
deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation.
In the event of a Casualty in which the Net Proceeds and the costs of completing the Restoration
are each less than the Restoration Threshold, Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim without
Lender’s consent or participation.



     Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Property or any
part thereof and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to deliver to Lender copies of any and all
papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such
proceedings with respect to any Condemnation in which Borrowers’ reasonable estimate (based on
any statement of value submitted to the condemning authority or any other reasonable evidence in
Lender’s reasonable judgment) of the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are
equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, and the applicable Borrower shall, or shall
cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments
reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrowers shall, or shall cause
Mortgage Borrowers to, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall,
to the extent required hereunder, consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate
with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by
any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not
limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking),
Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment
in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have
been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to
the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the
Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at
the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is
taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise
comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A)
Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes
of



138









 







Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage
Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds
available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Mortgage Borrowers shall not be obligated to repair and
restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to Mortgage
Borrowers. If such Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by
Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof
sufficient to pay the Debt.



     Section 6.4 Restoration.



               (a) Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, deliver to Lender copies of all
reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender
under Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration of any Property
after a Casualty or Condemnation. If any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be
disbursed by Mortgage Lender for Restoration, Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that
relates to the restoration and release of the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.



               (b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all insurance proceeds
and condemnation awards will be made available to Mortgage Borrowers in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. In the event the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full and Lender receives
any insurance proceeds or condemnation award, Lender shall either apply such proceeds to the Debt
or for the Restoration of any Property in accordance with the same terms and conditions contained
in Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.



               (c) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, if the Loan or any portion thereof is then
outstanding, the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all related
definitions shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety.



     Section 6.5 Rights of Lender. For purposes of this Article VI, Borrowers shall obtain
the approval of Lender for each matter requiring the approval of Mortgage Lender under the
provisions of Sections 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, with each reference in any such
provisions to the “Loan” to include the Mortgage Loan and the Loan, and the reference in any such
provisions to the “Maturity Date” to mean the Maturity Date, as defined herein. If Mortgage Lender
does not require the deposit by Mortgage Borrowers of the “Net Proceeds Deficiency” pursuant to
Section 6.4(c)(vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that
Borrowers make a deposit of said “Net Proceeds Deficiency” in accordance with the terms of such
Section (as if each reference therein to “Borrowers” and “Lender” referred to Borrowers and Lender,
respectively).

     Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally.



               (a) Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of
the Reserve Funds held by Lender and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve
Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance
herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.



               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in
addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present
in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Debt (in such order, proportion and
priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion), until the Debt is paid in full, with any
amounts remaining being disbursed, as a distribution permitted under applicable law, (i) to Second
Mezzanine Lender for application by Second Mezzanine Lender in accordance with the terms of the
Second Mezzanine Loan Documents if the Second Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is
outstanding, until the Second Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (ii) to Third
Mezzanine Lender for application by Third Mezzanine Lender in accordance with the terms of the
Third Mezzanine Loan Documents if the Third Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is outstanding,
until the Third Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (iii) any balance remaining to
Borrowers.



               (c) Any amount remaining in any of the Reserve Funds after the Obligations have been satisfied
shall be released to Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers and Lender hereby
agree and acknowledge that (A) if (1) all of the Obligations have been satisfied, (2) there is any
amount remaining in any of the Reserve Funds, and (3) the Second Mezzanine Debt (or any portion
thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not pay any such remaining amount in any of the Reserve
Funds to Borrowers, but rather shall deliver such amount to Second Mezzanine Lender to be held in
accordance with the terms of the Second



142









 







Mezzanine Loan Documents; or (B) if (1) all of the Obligations and the Second Mezzanine
Obligations have been satisfied, (2) there is any amount remaining in any of the Reserve Funds, and
(3) the Third Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not pay any
such remaining amount in any of the Reserve Funds to Borrowers, but rather shall deliver such
amount to Third Mezzanine Lender to be held in accordance with the terms of the Third Mezzanine
Loan Documents. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with
other monies held by Lender.



               (d) Except to the extent provided in the Mezzanine Loan Documents, Borrowers shall not,
without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security
interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to
attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those
naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.



               (e) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments pursuant
to the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund (with the
exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve
Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund,
except that all interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be retained
by Lender. Borrowers shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the
Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered
by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later
than the date on which the applicable Reserve Fund is required for payment of an obligation for
which such Reserve Fund was created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or
other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of
the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund). No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve
Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.8. Borrowers shall bear all
reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted
Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any,
and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs
shall be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the
rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.



               (f) Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all actions, suits, third party claims, demands, liabilities, actual losses, actual
damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages), obligations
and reasonable costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds held by Lender or the
performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, excluding matters
arising from Lender’s or its agents’ fraud, willful misconduct, illegal acts or gross negligence.
Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims any Borrower may have against all Persons
supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve
Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless
an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.



143









 





     Section 7.9 Transfer of Mortgage Reserve Funds. If Mortgage Lender waives any
reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement,
which reserves or escrow accounts are also required in accordance with the terms of this
Article VII, or if the Mortgage Loan is paid off in full (without a prepayment of the Loan
in full), then Borrowers shall cause any amounts that had been, or would have been, deposited into
any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be
deposited or transferred to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article VII (and
Borrowers shall enter into a cash management and lockbox agreement for the benefit of Lender
substantially similar to the arrangement entered into between Mortgage Borrowers and Mortgage
Lender at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan).

respect as of the date the representation or warranty was made, provided,

with any diligent Restoration of the Hotel/Casino Property following a Casualty or
Condemnation) and such failure continues after thirty (30) days notice from Lender
thereof; provided, however, that if any such failure is susceptible
of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and
provided, further, that Borrowers shall have caused Mortgage
Borrowers to commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and
shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, such thirty
(30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for
Mortgage Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such
additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days, subject to Excusable Delay;




     (xvi) if (A) there shall occur any default by HRHI or Hotel/Casino Borrower

shall hold over at the expiration or earlier termination of the HRHI Lease;




     (xvii) if (A) there shall occur any default by HRHI under the Gaming Sublease

or is reasonably likely to be materially damaged by such consent or approval with
the further passage of time, or (2) HRHI is unable to rescind or void such consent
or approval within thirty (30) days after notice from Mortgage Lender of its

8.1(a)(i)(C) hereof, or if a non-monetary default, shall continue beyond the
notice and cure period set forth in Section 8.1(a)(xxiii) hereof;




               (xviii) if at any time during the term of the Loan, for any reason (including,
without limitation, the revocation, suspension or surrender of any required
Governmental Approval), (A) the Gaming Operating Condition is not satisfied,
provided, however, that if the Gaming Operating Condition is not
satisfied at any time on or after February 2, 2008 through and including May 9,
2008, so long as (I) Mortgage Borrowers are diligently pursuing the satisfaction of
the Gaming Operating Condition, (II) all Debt Service is being satisfied as and when
due, and (III) no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
failure of the Gaming Operating Condition to be satisfied during such period
shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the Gaming Operating Condition shall
remain unsatisfied beyond May 9, 2008; or (B) any Gaming License or finding of
suitability held by the Gaming Operator shall be materially adversely modified,
denied, suspended, revoked or canceled or allowed to lapse or if a notice of a

Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, or any proceeding is commenced by any
Governmental Authority for the purpose of modifying in any materially adverse
respect, suspending, revoking or canceling any Gaming License in any materially
adverse respect, in each case, which is not stayed within sixty (60) days after
commencement thereof and the result of which is reasonably likely to be Mortgage
Borrowers’ inability to continue to conduct gaming operations at the Hotel/Casino
Property; provided, however, that during the course of any of the
foregoing, substantially the same gaming operations are permitted to continue to
operate at the Hotel/Casino Property, or any Governmental Authority shall have
appointed a conservator, supervisor or trustee with respect to the Casino Component

          (xx) if HRHI shall fail to provide liquor management services following an
Event of Default or a foreclosure of the Mortgage as and to the extent required
pursuant to Sections 5(a) or 5(b) of the Assignment of Liquor Management Agreement;




          (xxi) in the event that Gaming Borrower shall ever become the Gaming Operator

to Section 12.1(e) hereof;




          (xxii) in the event that Gaming Borrower, any other Mortgage Borrower or any

instance, not specified in subsections (i) to (xxii) above, for
ten (10) Business Days after notice to Borrowers from Lender, in the case of
any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30)
days after notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided,
however, that if any such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided further
that Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, such
thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary
for Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional
period not to exceed ninety (90) days, subject to Excusable Delay;




          (xxiv) the occurrence of any event that is expressly specified to be an Event
of Default in this Agreement or any other Loan Document;




          (xxv) if the Liens created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall cease to be a fully perfected enforceable first priority security
interest effective under the Gaming Laws or if there shall be a default under the
Pledge Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods contained in the
Pledge Agreement;



148









 






          (xxvi) if any other event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect
of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt
or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt; or




          (xxvii) if a Mortgage Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.



                    (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) and at any time thereafter, in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents or at law or in equity, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may take
such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its
rights against Borrowers and in and to any Property and/or the IP and/or the Collateral, including,
without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or
avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrowers, any
Property and/or the IP and/or the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies
available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or
(vii) above, the Debt and all Other Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately and automatically
become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any
such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.



     Section 8.2 Remedies.



                    (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to
applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers or at law or
in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any
of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any such actions taken
by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein
or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower
agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that if an Event of Default is continuing (i)
Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all
liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and
effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Pledge
Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or
the Debt has been paid in full.



                    (b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to each Borrower and the
Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring
Lender to resort to the Collateral or any particular portion of the



149









 







Collateral for the satisfaction
of any of the obligations in preference or priority to any other collateral, and Lender may seek
satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of
the Obligations. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the
right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement in
any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined
by Lender in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i)
in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments of interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement
to recover such delinquent payments, and/or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than
the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge
Agreement to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance as Lender may accelerate and such
other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral and any other collateral shall
remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement
and not previously recovered.



                    (c) Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s sole cost and
expense except during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which event the same shall be at
Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents
into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan
Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of
evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder, provided that Borrowers’
liability or obligation shall not be increased by such severance. Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement
and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably
request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, each Borrower
hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an
interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect
the aforesaid severance, each Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue
thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents
under such power until five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of
Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection
with a Securitization and expressly provided pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrowers
shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents
shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents
(modified to reflect the current status of such representations and warranties) and any such
representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrowers
only as of the Closing Date.



                    (d) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrowers pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s
rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s



150









 







sole discretion. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy,
right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to any Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent Default or Event of Default by any Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power
consequent thereon.



                    (e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts recovered from the Collateral or
any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the
payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan
Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.



                    (f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may declare
all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Note, together with all other sums payable
under the Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be
immediately due and payable, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and
without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly
hereby waived by Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law.



     Section 8.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or
demand on Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereunder, make any payment
or do any act
required of Borrowers hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary
to protect the security hereof. Subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender is
authorized to enter upon any Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action
or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties for such purposes, and the cost and expense
thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as
provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable
to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of
Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or
proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that
such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses
incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to
constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and enforced as a
lien against the Collateral and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender
therefor.



ARTICLE IX.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS




     Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. (a) Borrowers acknowledge and agree
that, at any time from and after the Closing Date, Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan
and the Loan Documents, or require Borrowers to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may
include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or issue one or more participations
therein and/or syndicate the Loan, which restructuring may include the



151









 







restructuring of a portion
of the Loan to one or more of the foregoing or into one or more additional mezzanine loans to the
direct and/or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrowers as reasonably, mutually
determined by Lender and Borrowers and that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of HR Holdings,
secured by a pledge of such interests, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations
of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership
interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include
the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a
“Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided
by Borrowers under this Agreement, Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts
to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by
Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be
reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such
Securitization, including, without limitation, to:




     (i) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information or other information with
respect to the Properties, the IP and/or the Collateral reasonably requested or reasonably
required by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies, together with, if
customary or if otherwise requested by any Rating Agency, appropriate verification and/or
consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of
counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;




     (ii) review descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating
Agencies, and work with third-party service providers engaged to obtain, collect, and
deliver information reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective
investors or the Rating Agencies;




     (iii) if required by any Rating Agency, (A) deliver updated opinions of counsel as to
non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, the
IP, the Collateral, any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any of their respective
Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (B) amend the Special Purpose Entity provisions of
the organizational documents for each Loan Party, which counsel opinions and amendments to
the organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies;




     (iv) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements and/or other agreements
from parties to agreements that affect any of the Properties, the IP or the Collateral,
which estoppel letters, subordination agreements and other agreements shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;




     (v) provide, as of the closing date of the Securitization, updated representations
and warranties made in the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the
Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and
warranties made in the Loan Documents to the extent they are true as of the closing of the
Securitization;



152









 






     (vi) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by
Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization and/or deliver one or more new
component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect
multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same
initial weighted average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note
may change the interest rate of the Loan), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with
respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the
Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such
class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve
the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided, however, that (A) such
new notes or modified note will not change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the
amortization of principal set forth in the Note unless the varying interest rates shall
have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note, (B) such amendments to
the Loan Documents or the new notes or modified note will not modify or amend any other
economic or material term of the Loan in a manner materially adverse to any Loan Party,
HRHI or Guarantors or any of their respective Constituent Members, or (C) such amendments
to the Loan Documents will not materially increase any Loan Party’s or Guarantors’
obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease the rights of
Borrowers under the Loan Documents;




     (vii) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding any Property, the IP,
the Collateral, any Loan Party, any Mezzanine Borrower, HRHI, the Gaming Operator, any
Manager, the Liquor Manager and/or the Loan which is contained in any preliminary or final
private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment
or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any
affiliate thereof; and




     (viii) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports
concerning any Loan Party, any Mezzanine Borrower, HRHI, any Guarantor, the Loan, any
Property, the IP and/or the Collateral in form and substance required in order to comply
with any applicable securities laws.



                    (b) Lender shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses (excluding fees and
expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel) in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) incurred by
Borrowers in connection with Borrowers’ complying with requests made under this Section 9.1
and/or under Section 9.2 hereof, provided, however, the fees and expenses
of Borrowers’ legal counsel and Borrowers’ administrative costs shall not be included in such
amount and Borrowers shall remain at all times responsible for the fees and expenses of their legal
counsel and their own administrative costs. In addition to the foregoing, Lender expressly
acknowledges and agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance
charges.



                    (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a
Securitization that involves a participation or restructuring into one or more additional mezzanine
loans, Borrowers shall not be required to deliver Rating Agency



153









 







confirmations in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time that rated Securities are not outstanding.



     Section 9.2 Re-Dating. In connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a
portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including, but not
limited to, payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan
Documents, by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a “Re-Dating”) so long as
such modification shall not have a materially adverse effect on Borrowers. Borrowers shall
cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If any Borrower fails to cooperate with Lender
within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as each
Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating,
the foregoing power of attorney being coupled with an interest.



     Section 9.3 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Each Borrower understands that
information provided to Lender by Borrowers and their agents, counsel and representatives may be
included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and may
be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating
Agencies, and service providers relating to a Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure
Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrowers will cooperate
with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material
respects.



                    (b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, Borrowers shall provide in connection with each of (i) a
preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or
prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrowers have examined such
Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that to each Borrower’s actual knowledge, each such
Disclosure Document, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors,
HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator
and/or the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact in each Borrower’s actual knowledge necessary in order to make the statements made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, (B)
jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, Credit Suisse (whether or not it is Lender), any
Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that has filed any registration statement relating to the
Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any
Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial
purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement
agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their
respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and
each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any
out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, actual damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in
value and other consequential damages) or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which
any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement



154









 







or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such
Disclosure Document specified by Lender for Borrowers’ review, as it relates to any Loan Party, any
Loan Party’s Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the Collateral, the Managers,
the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan, known by any Borrower to be untrue or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact in
any Borrower’s actual knowledge, required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and
(C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other reasonable
expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or
defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers will be liable in any
such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in connection
with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the underwriting or
closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial
statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to any of the
Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Borrower may
otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C)
above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement is provided.



                    (c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall (i)
indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Persons may become
subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact in any Disclosure Documents specified by Lender for
Borrowers’ review, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors,
HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator
and/or the Loan, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Disclosure Document a
material fact in any Loan Party’s actual knowledge, required to be stated in such Disclosure
Document in order to make the statements in such Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any
reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers
will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent
that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in
connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with
respect to any of the Properties.



                    (d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 9.3 of notice
of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against Borrowers under this Section 9.3, notify Borrowers in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrowers will not relieve any Borrower from
any liability which any Borrower may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent
that such failure to notify causes material prejudice to any Borrower. In the event that any
action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies



155









 







Borrowers of the commencement
thereof, Borrowers will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that they may elect
by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. After notice from Borrowers to such Indemnified Person
under this Section 9.3, such Indemnified Person shall pay for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such
action include both the Indemnified Person and any Borrower and the Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified
Persons that are different from or additional to those available to Borrowers, the Indemnified
Person(s) shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person(s) at the
cost of Borrowers. Borrowers shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
counsel unless any Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another
Indemnified Person.



                    (e) Without the prior consent of Credit Suisse or Lender, as applicable (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), no Borrower shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any
Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding)
unless Borrowers shall have given Credit Suisse or Lender, as applicable, reasonable prior notice
thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from
all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as Borrowers have
complied with their obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrowers shall not be liable
for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrowers (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld).



                    (f) Borrowers agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this
Section 9.3 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is
insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are
the subject of this Section 9.3), then Borrowers, on the one hand, and such Indemnified
Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or
reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits to Borrowers, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the
other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) but also the relative faults of Borrowers, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on
the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be
considered: (A) Lender’s and Borrowers’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the
matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; and (B) the opportunity to correct and prevent
any statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.3, no Person
found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section



156









 







11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other Person who is not also found
liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.



                    (g) Borrowers agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set
forth in this Section 9.3 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal
party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrowers further agree that the Indemnified
Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.3.



                    (h) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, the liabilities and obligations
of Borrowers and Lender under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.



     Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not
enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the obligations contained
in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or
proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Borrower, except that Lender may
bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or
proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this
Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral given to Lender pursuant to the
Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein,
any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against any Borrower only to the
extent of such Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for,
seek or demand any deficiency judgment against any Borrower in any such action or proceeding under,
or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other
Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not, however, (a) constitute a
waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents;
(b) impair the right of Lender to name any Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for
foreclosure and sale under the Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or
any guaranty made in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, the Non-Recourse
Guaranty, the Non-Qualified Prepayment Guaranty, the Closing Completion Guaranty, the Construction
Completion Guaranty and the HRHI Guaranty, or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder;
(d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) constitute a
prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order to fully
realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or commencing any other appropriate action or
proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (f) constitute a
waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower, by money
judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage (excluding any lost revenue,
diminution of value and other consequential damages), reasonable cost, reasonable expense,
liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs
reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:




               (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Loan Party, HRHI, any
Guarantor or any of their respective principals, officers, agents or employees in
connection with the Loan;



157









 






               (ii) physical waste to any Property arising from the intentional misconduct or
gross negligence of any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor or any of their respective
principals, officers, agents or employees and/or any removal of any asset forming a
part of any Property in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;




               (iii) Intentionally Omitted;




               (iv) the misappropriation or conversion by any Loan Party, by any Person
Controlled by any Loan Party, including, without limitation, any Affiliated Manager,
a Liquor Manager who is an Affiliate of any Loan Party or a Gaming Operator who is
an Affiliate of any Loan Party, by any agent of any Loan Party, or by any other
Person with whom any Loan Party shall collude or cooperate, of (A) any Insurance
Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, to the extent so misappropriated or
converted; (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, to the extent
so misappropriated or converted; (C) any Rents or other Gross Income from Operations
not delivered to Lender following and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and not otherwise used to pay
actual, customary Operating Expenses reflected on the Approved Annual Budget
then in effect, including, without limitation, (I) any income, proceeds or other
amounts received by any Loan Party under the Gaming Sublease, and/or (II) without
duplication of the foregoing clause (I), any income, proceeds or revenue
generated from gaming activities at any Property, in each of the foregoing
instances, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; (D) any Rents paid more
than one (1) month in advance in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; and/or (E) any security
deposits, to the extent so misappropriated or converted;




               (v) the failure of any Loan Party to pay (or to deposit into the Mortgage
Reserve Funds or the Reserve Funds, if applicable, amounts sufficient to pay) all
Taxes and all other costs giving rise to any Lien on any portion of the Collateral
or any Property or the IP with priority over or equal to the Lien of the Loan
Documents in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent
that there is sufficient Gross Income from Operations to make such payments (or
deposits, as applicable);




               (vi) if any Loan Party fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity
as required pursuant to the terms hereof;




               (vii) if any Loan Party fails to obtain Lender’s consent to any subordinate
financing, mortgage or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Collateral, any Property
or the IP other than Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted IP Encumbrances;




               (viii) the failure to maintain insurance coverage under blanket insurance
policies to the extent permitted under this Agreement;



158









 






               (ix) if any of the events set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c)
of Section 5.2.11 hereof shall occur without the prior approval of Lender;




               (x) if any of the restrictions to Transfer set forth in Section 5.2.10
hereof or in any of the other Loan Documents are violated;




               (xi) if Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall succeed to the interest of HRHI
under the Gaming Sublease following a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
similar transfer, any actual loss, cost, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by Lender or such
Affiliate as a result of: (A) any act, omission, neglect or default of HRHI under
the Gaming Sublease, (B) any claim, defense, counterclaim or offset which the Gaming
Operator may have under the Gaming Sublease against HRHI, (C) any obligation to make
any payment to the Gaming Operator under the Gaming Sublease which was required to
be made by or on behalf of HRHI prior to the time Lender or such Affiliate succeeded
to HRHI’s interest under the Gaming Sublease, (D) any monies deposited with HRHI
under the Gaming Sublease, except to the extent such monies are actually received by
Lender or
such Affiliate, (E) any obligation to complete or permit the construction of
any improvements under the Gaming Sublease arising while HRHI was the sublandlord
under the Gaming Sublease, and/or (F) any default by HRHI under the Gaming Lease
beyond applicable notice and cure periods;




               (xii) if HRHI or any Affiliate thereof shall send a notice to Gaming Operator
under Section 6(a), (c) or (d) of the Gaming Recognition Agreement which conflicts
with any notice theretofore sent by Lender to Gaming Operator under said Section
6(a), (c) or (d), as applicable, of the Gaming Recognition Agreement;
provided, however, that the liability under this clause
(xii) shall be limited to all fees and costs incurred by Gaming Operator in
bringing and pursuing any interpleader action contemplated by said Section 6(a), (c)
or (d), as applicable, and only to the extent that Gaming Operator seeks to recover
and/or does recover such fees and expenses from Lender;




               (xiii) if HRHI shall fail to provide Gaming Employees for the operation of
gaming activities at the Hotel/Casino Property as and to the extent required
pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the HRHI Gaming Agreement;




               (xiv) in the event that Gaming Borrower shall ever become the Gaming Operator
pursuant to Article XII hereof, if Gaming Borrower thereafter shall fail to
provide gaming operation services for the Hotel/Casino Property following an Event
of Default or a foreclosure of the Mortgage as and to the extent required pursuant
to Section 12.1(e) hereof;




               (xv) in the event that HRHI, Gaming Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
Affiliate thereof shall be the Liquor Manager, if HRHI, Gaming Borrower, such other
Loan Party or such Affiliate thereof shall fail to provide liquor management
services for the Hotel/Casino Property following an Event of Default



159









 







or a
foreclosure of the Mortgage as and to the extent required (A) as to HRHI, pursuant
to Sections 5(a) or 5(b) of the Assignment of Liquor Management Agreement, as
applicable, and (B) as to Gaming Borrower, any other Mortgage Borrower or any
Affiliate thereof, pursuant to Section 5.1.23(c) hereof;

filed by or against any Subsidiary Transferee prior to or following the consummation

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan

clause (vi) to the extent arising from the failure of Lender to reasonably cooperate with
the
Gaming Authorities in connection with such Gaming Law requirements to the extent necessary);
unless, in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or
(vi) as it relates to or affects both Guarantors, one or more guarantors acceptable to
Lender in its sole discretion remains or becomes a guarantor of the Loan.

Offshore Partners IV, L.P., and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners IV (Pacific), L.P. (such limited

present or future Constituent Member in any Borrower, nor any present or future shareholder,
officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, member, partner, principal, participant
or agent of or in any Borrower or of or in any Person that is or becomes a Constituent Member in
any Borrower, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any amendment or amendments to any of the
foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Lender on behalf of itself and
its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. In addition,
Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that neither Borrowers,
nor any Constituent Member, nor any other party, is assuming any personal liability, directly or
indirectly, under or in connection with any agreement, lease, instrument, claim or right
constituting a part of any Property, the IP or the Collateral or to which any Property, the IP or
the Collateral is now or hereafter subject, except as may be expressly set forth therein.



     For purposes of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, neither the negative
capital account of any Constituent Member in any Borrower nor any obligation of any Constituent
Member in any Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or



161









 







loan capital to

the property or an asset of such Borrower (or any such other Constituent Member) and neither Lender
nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against
any Constituent Member with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore,
contribute or loan.



     Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Managers and Liquor Manager.



          9.5.1 If (a) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (b) without the consent of Lender,
Morgans Parent ceases to Control any Manager, unless following such change of Control, each
affected Manager still constitutes a Qualified Manager, (c) any Manager shall become bankrupt or
insolvent, or (d) any Manager commits fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
misappropriation of funds with respect to any Mortgage Borrower and/or any Property and/or the IP
or any material default otherwise occurs under any Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace
and cure periods, Borrowers shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, at the request of
Lender, terminate the applicable Management
Agreement and replace the Manager thereunder with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a
Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such
Qualified Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. If (i) an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, (ii) Sub-Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or (iii) Sub-Manager
commits fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or misappropriation of funds with respect to
any Mortgage Borrower and/or any Property or any material default otherwise occurs under the
Sub-Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrowers shall cause the
applicable Mortgage Borrower to, at the request of Lender, terminate the Sub-Management Agreement
and amend an existing Management Agreement to include the duties previously delegated under the
Sub-Management Agreement (if not already included therein).




          9.5.2 If (a) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (b) without the consent of Lender,

misconduct or misappropriation of funds with respect to Hotel/Casino Borrower and/or the
Hotel/Casino Property or any material default otherwise occurs under the Liquor Management
Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower
to, at the request of Lender, terminate the Liquor Management Agreement and replace the Liquor
Manager thereunder with a Qualified Liquor Manager pursuant to a Replacement Liquor Management
Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Liquor Manager
shall not exceed then prevailing market rates; provided, however, that in no event
shall Hotel/Casino Borrower be required to terminate such Liquor Manager if such immediate
termination would require cessation of liquor-related activities at any of the Properties and, in
such event, (i) such termination shall occur immediately upon the ability of Hotel/Casino Borrower
to transfer such liquor operations to a Qualified Liquor Manager as required herein, and (ii)
Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at its sole cost and expense, diligently pursue the
engagement and licensing of a replacement Qualified Liquor Manager.




162









 








          Section 9.6 Matters Concerning Gaming Operator. If (a) the Gaming Operator commits
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property or any
material default otherwise occurs under the Gaming Sublease beyond any applicable grace and cure
periods, or (b) the Gaming Operator (i) has its gaming license suspended or revoked, (ii) allows
its gaming license to lapse, or (iii) may not lawfully operate gaming at the Hotel/Casino Property
pursuant to any Legal Requirements or the order of any Governmental Authority, Borrowers shall
cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at the request of Lender and to the extent permitted by applicable
Legal Requirements and the requirements of any Gaming Authorities, cause HRHI to terminate the
Gaming Sublease and replace the Gaming Operator with a Qualified Gaming Operator pursuant to a new
gaming sublease or similar agreement and a new recognition agreement, in each instance reasonably
acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall Hotel/Casino Borrower be required
to terminate such Gaming Operator if such immediate termination would require cessation of
gaming-related activities at the Hotel/Casino Property and, in such event, (A) such
termination shall occur immediately upon the ability of Hotel/Casino Borrower to transfer such
gaming operations to a Qualified Gaming Operator as required herein, and (B) Borrowers shall cause
Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at its sole cost and expense, diligently pursue the engagement and
licensing of a replacement Qualified Gaming Operator.




          Section 9.7 Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a
servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of
its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to
a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrowers shall not
be responsible for any set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the
Servicing Agreement nor shall Borrowers be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due
to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.




                    (b) Lender shall endeavor in good faith (without liability for failure to do so) to provide
Borrowers with notification of any change in the Person servicing the Loan; provided that
it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by Lender that it shall not constitute a Default or Event
of Default hereunder if due to such failure to provide notification Borrowers send any payments
required to be made hereunder to Lender or any predecessor Person servicing the Loan.

discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any
other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for
the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or
demand on any Borrower, shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or future
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.



     Section 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other
Loan Document, or under any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or
constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular,

Section 10.6. Any failure to deliver a Notice by reason of a change of address not given

Additionally, any Notice required or permitted to be given by Lender hereunder or under any other

     Section 10.7 Trial by Jury. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH
BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT
BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR
HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION
ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY EACH BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS
WAIVER BY THE OTHER.



     Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents
in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.



     Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such 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 provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.



     Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any
and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder. To the
extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended



168









 







to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.



     Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not
be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for
which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving
of notice by Lender to Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not,
pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.



     Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrowers. In the event that a claim or adjudication is
made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Borrower agrees that neither Lender
nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ sole remedies shall be
limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties
hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall
be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.



     Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and
agree to pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse, Lender, within ten (10) days of receipt of
notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrowers’ ongoing performance of and
compliance with Borrowers’ respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents on their part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date,
including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental, gaming and insurance
requirements; (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any other documents or matters requested by or benefiting any Borrower; (iii) securing
Borrowers’ compliance with their obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and
other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) all fees payable hereunder; (vi) dealing with any
Letter of Credit delivered to Lender hereunder; (vii) subject to
the terms hereof, enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims
or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against,
under or affecting any Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Property, the IP,
the Collateral or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or
collecting any payments due from any Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
with respect to any Property, the IP or the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a
“work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that
Borrowers shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same
arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.
Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 10.13(a) or in any other provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in the event that (A) Lender employs



169









 







counsel to
collect the Debt, protect or foreclose the Pledge Agreement or as otherwise permitted in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) Lender has sold or transferred any interests in the
Note, then Borrowers shall only be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and expenses of the counsel
of one Lender.



                    (b) Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from
and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, out-of-pocket losses, actual damages (but
not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages), penalties, actions,
judgments, third party suits, third party claims, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party
thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to
or arising out of (i) any breach by any Borrower of its obligations under, or any material
misrepresentation by any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii)
the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);
provided, however, that Borrowers shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder
to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law
or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by Lender.



                    (c) Borrowers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay for or, if Borrowers fail to
pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection
with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency and required
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in connection
with any request or approval sought by Borrowers, and Lender shall be entitled to require payment
of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval,
waiver or confirmation; provided, however, that Lender expressly acknowledges and
agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance charges.



     Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated . The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this
Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.



     Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest
in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear
of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrowers may
otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by any Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any
such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated
offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law.

     Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.



                    (a) Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to
create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between any
Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of secured
party, pledgee or lender.



                    (b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to
the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder and/or to disbursements from the Reserve Funds
are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled
to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan and/or will refuse to make any disbursement from
any Reserve Fund in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person
shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which
may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.



                    (c) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.16(a) hereof, Borrowers expressly
acknowledge and agree that: (i) DLJ Merchant Banking, Inc. is an affiliate of Lender and various of
its indirect subsidiaries and/or affiliates own indirect ownership interests in each Borrower (the
“DLJ Entities”), and (ii) neither the Lender named herein nor any successor or assign thereof shall
have any liability to Borrower as a result of such relationship between Lender and the DLJ
Entities, including, without limitation, under any theory of lender liability.



                    (d) The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this
Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any Trade Contractors including any Major
Contractors or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor
furnished in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of the Project or for debts or
claims accruing to any such Persons against Mortgage Borrowers or Borrowers. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties
hereto, before or after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as
creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors,
agents or employees, in favor of any Major Contractor or other Trade Contractor, or any of their
respective creditors, or any other Person.



                    (e) Observation, inspection and approvals, if applicable, by Lender of the Plans and
Specifications, the construction of the Project and/or the workmanship and materials used therein
shall impose no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on Lender and no Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower, Trade Contractor or other interested Person, under any circumstances, shall be
entitled to rely upon such inspections and approvals by Lender for any reason. Approvals granted
by Lender for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only
the parties and facts identified in any such approval.




171











 





          Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower
or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan
Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender, Credit Suisse or any of
their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by applicable state or
federal securities laws, rules or regulations or other applicable Legal Requirements, or as
customarily and reasonably requested by any Gaming Authorities, shall not be subject to Lender’s
prior written approval.




          Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling
of the assets of any Borrower, any Borrower’s partners and others with interests in any Borrower,
and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of
the Pledge Agreement, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the
marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect
the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the
Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment
of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.




          Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in
any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any
Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations
hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which any
Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.




          Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the
Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Each Borrower acknowledges that, with respect
to the Loan, such Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the
Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender
or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan
Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership
by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may
acquire in any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense
or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such
rights or remedies. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate
financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or
competitive with the businesses of Borrowers or their Affiliates.




172









 








          Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.




               (a) Each Borrower hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with
any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities,
out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any way relating to or arising from a
claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any Borrower or an Affiliate of any
Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this
Section 10.21(a) shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Debt.



               (b) Lender hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with any
financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Borrowers harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including Borrowers’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by
any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Lender or an Affiliate of Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21(b) shall
survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.



          Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, including, without limitation, (i) the Commitment Letter dated May 11, 2006 between

warranties and obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.




          Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to

developments of each Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not

               (b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and

(other than (i) personal property required for the day to day operation of any Property and (ii) to
the extent any such acquisition is contemplated in the Approved Annual Budget then in effect).



     The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which

     Section 11.3 Mortgage Loan Defaults.



               (a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without
waiving or releasing Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any
Mortgage Event of Default, Borrowers hereby expressly agree that Lender shall have the immediate
right, without notice to or demand on any Loan Party, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay
all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable and to
perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrowers, as may be appropriate, to cause
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage
Borrowers to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to
pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or
the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken
or commenced by Lender. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
exercising rights under this Section 11.3 (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ and other professional fees),



176









 




with interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to
Borrowers for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the
Debt, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand
therefor.




               (b) Subject to the rights of tenants and the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrowers hereby grant,
and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right
to enter upon any Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender
under this Section 11.3.



               (c) Borrowers shall not, and shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrowers or any other Person
to, impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any
default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s
interests in the Loan and the Collateral (including the Properties) following a default or asserted
default under the Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.



               (d) Borrowers hereby indemnify Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands,
costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees,
whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the
foregoing actions described in Section 11.3(a). Lender shall have no obligation to any
Loan Party or any other party to make any such payment or performance.



               (e) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents,
such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender in making the
Loan, Borrowers hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender
arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 11.3
other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Lender.



               (f) In the event that Lender cures any Mortgage Event of Default, any such cure by Lender
shall not waive or be deemed to have cured such Mortgage Event of Default and shall constitute an
immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise
applicable under this Agreement.



               (g) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall
be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the
Properties and Mortgage Borrowers, in addition to all other rights which Lender may have under the
Loan Documents or applicable law (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other
professional fees), and any such payments made by Lender together with interest at the Default
Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to Borrowers for such payments to the date
of payment to Lender, (i) shall



177









 




constitute a portion of the Debt, (ii) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and (iii)
shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.




          Section 11.4 Discussions with Mortgage Lender. In connection with the exercise of its
rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the
Properties, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or
Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from any
Borrower or any other Loan Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions
or the contents thereof with any Borrower or any other Loan Party.




          Section 11.5 Independent Approval Rights.




               (a) If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage
Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this
Agreement, and as between Lender and Borrowers only, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or
waived any document delivered or action taken, or required to be delivered or taken, by Mortgage
Borrowers to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement related to the construction of the
Project which is approved or waived in writing by Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan
Documents.



               (b) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the
Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining
whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and
Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent
right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own
point of view. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create
any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results
directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrowers hereby waive any claim
of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.



          Section 11.6 Intercreditor Agreement.




               (a) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Intercreditor Agreement entered into
by and among Lender, Mortgage Lender, Second Mezzanine Lender and Third Mezzanine Lender will be
solely for the benefit of Lender, Mortgage Lender, Second Mezzanine Lender and Third Mezzanine
Lender; (ii) none of Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, Second Mezzanine Borrowers or Third Mezzanine
Borrowers shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein; and (iii)
none Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, Second Mezzanine Borrowers or Third Mezzanine Borrowers shall
have any rights thereunder or shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein.
None of Lender, Mortgage Lender, Second Mezzanine Lender or Third Mezzanine Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose to Borrowers the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrowers’
obligations hereunder are and will be independent of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain
unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.



178









 





               (b) In the event that Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, is
required to pay over to Mortgage Lender any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash,
property or securities which otherwise would have been applied to the Debt, including, without
limitation, any proceeds of any property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan or
any payments under the Guaranties, pursuant to voluntary payment or judgment or otherwise, then
Borrowers agree to indemnify Lender for any amounts so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue
to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of
such payment by Lender.

thereunder, (iv) the Gaming Sublease has either expired by its own terms or has been properly
terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, and (v) Borrowers have given Lender thirty (30) days
prior written notice, Borrowers shall cause Gaming Borrower to operate the Casino Component
pursuant to the Casino Component Lease



179









 




and in accordance with all Gaming Laws and all other applicable Legal Requirements. Borrowers
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to thereafter maintain all Gaming Licenses, Operating Permits and
Governmental Approvals necessary for the lawful operation of the Casino Component as a casino
consistent with Comparable Hotel/Casinos and use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the
Casino Component in a manner designed to maximize revenues from the Properties in the aggregate.
No Loan Party shall take, permit or omit any action that would adversely affect the status or good
standing of Gaming Borrower under such Operating Permits, Gaming Licenses or Governmental
Approvals.




               (d) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Casino Component Lease and any and all
rights and interests (whether choate or inchoate and including, without limitation, all mechanic’s
and materialmen’s liens under applicable law) owned, claimed or held, by Gaming Borrower thereunder
or otherwise in and to the Casino Component, shall be in all respects subordinate and inferior to
the liens and security interests created, or to be created, for the benefit of Lender under the
Loan Documents, and securing the repayment of the Note and the performance of the Obligations, and
all renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, amendments, modifications or replacements
thereof.



               (e) Borrowers hereby agree that, at any time after the date the Casino Component Lease becomes
effective, if ever, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
at the request of Lender, Borrowers shall cause Gaming Borrower to continue to perform all of its
obligations under the terms of the Casino Component Lease with respect to the Casino Component,
(ii) upon and after foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar transfer of the
Casino Component to a Mortgage Lender Successor Owner, Borrowers shall cause Gaming Borrower to (A)
recognize such Mortgage Lender Successor Owner as the lessor under the Casino Component Lease, (B)
not exercise any right to terminate the Casino Component Lease, and (C) at the request of such
Mortgage Lender Successor Owner, continue to operate and manage the Casino Component and maintain
all applicable Gaming Licenses with respect to the Casino Component for a period not to exceed
fifteen (15) months after the effective date of such transfer to such Mortgage Lender Successor
Owner (which period shall in all events terminate upon Mortgage Lender Successor Owner’s
appointment of a new gaming operator possessing all Gaming Licenses and other Governmental
Approvals necessary to conduct all gaming operations at the Hotel/Casino Property, subject to
Gaming Borrower’s obligation to transfer its responsibilities under the Casino Component Lease to
such new gaming operator and to reasonably cooperate with the transition of the gaming operations
from Gaming Borrower to such new gaming operator), in accordance with the terms of the Casino
Component Lease; provided that such Mortgage Lender Successor Owner shall be obligated to
pay a then market rate casino management fee which is reasonable and customary for similar casinos
in Las Vegas, Nevada, and (iii) at any time after foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other
similar transfer of the Casino Component to a Mortgage Lender Successor Owner, at the option of
such Mortgage Lender Successor Owner exercised by written notice to Gaming Borrower, such Mortgage
Lender Successor Owner shall have the right to terminate the Casino Component Lease without penalty
or termination fee.



               (f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may elect,
upon written notice, to require Borrowers to cause Gaming Borrower or any other Loan Party to
surrender or relinquish one or more or all of the Gaming Licenses



180









 




held by such Person(s). If Gaming Borrower or such other Loan Party fails or refuses to so
relinquish such Gaming License(s) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written
notice, then Lender is hereby appointed (which appointment is coupled with an interest) as each
Loan Party’s attorney in fact with full authority to surrender or relinquish each such Gaming
License on each such Loan Party’s behalf, the foregoing power being irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.




               (g) Borrowers agree to cause Gaming Borrower to (i) execute such affidavits and certificates
as Lender shall reasonably require to further evidence the agreements herein contained, (ii) on
request from Lender, furnish Lender with copies of such information as Hotel/Casino Borrower is
entitled to receive under the Casino Component Lease, and (iii) cooperate with Lender’s
representative in any inspection of all or any portion of the Casino Component from time to time at
reasonable times during business hours.



               (h) Lender agrees to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities in connection with the
administration of its regulatory jurisdiction over the Gaming Operator, Gaming Borrower and any
other Person licensed by or registered with the Gaming Authorities, including the provision of such
documents or other information as may be requested by the Gaming Authorities relating to the Gaming
Sublease, the Casino Component Lease or the Loan Documents. Additionally, Lender acknowledges and
understands that (a) it is subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities, in their
discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability, (b) all rights, remedies and powers provided
in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent the exercise thereof does not violate any
applicable Gaming Laws, and (c) to the extent prior approval of the Gaming Authorities is required
pursuant to applicable Gaming Laws for the exercise, operation and effectiveness of any remedy
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or the taking of any action that may be taken by Lender
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such remedy or action shall be subject to such prior
approval of the Gaming Authorities, but the foregoing acknowledgements shall not be read or
construed, in any manner or at any time, to qualify or limit any representation, warranty,
covenant, agreement or obligation of any Loan Party herein, including, without limitation, any of
the same relating to the due authorization, execution, delivery, performance and/or enforceability
of any Loan Document, or any assignment, issuance, granting or remedy evidenced, created or
effected thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that
Lender shall not be liable to any Loan Party or any other Person for any loss, cost, damage, fine
or other expense suffered by any Loan Party or any other Person resulting from Lender’s cooperation
with, appearance before, or provision of information or documents to, any Gaming Authority as
contemplated in this Sections 12.1(h), except for Lender’s gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud.



          Section 12.2 Gaming Liquidity Requirements. From and after the date, if ever, upon
which Gaming Borrower becomes the Gaming Operator in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement and this Agreement, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Gaming Borrower to furnish,
to Lender, within five (5) Business Days following the end of each calendar month, an Officer’s
Certificate certifying as to the amount of the Gaming Liquidity Requirement (including a
calculation of the determination thereof) and the Gaming Operating Reserve with respect to such
month, including any changes to the foregoing during such month,




181









 







the foregoing to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Monthly Gaming
Requirement Certificate”).




ARTICLE XIII.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER




          Section 13.1 Right of First Offer. Prior to seeking any Refinancing Loan and/or any
commitment for a Refinancing Loan, Borrowers shall first notify Credit Suisse in writing (the
"Right of First Offer Notice”) of its intention to obtain any such Refinancing Loan, which Right of
First Offer Notice shall (a) contain the Material Economic Terms which Borrowers would, in good
faith, expect to receive in the market for loans similar in type to the Refinancing Loan being
sought, and (b) offer (in each case, a “Right of First Offer”) to Credit Suisse the opportunity to
consider whether or not Credit Suisse (or an Affiliate thereof) will provide the Refinancing Loan
on Material Economic Terms substantially similar to the Material Economic Terms contained in the
Right of First Offer Notice. For the purposes of this Article XIII, “Material Economic Terms”
shall mean, collectively, the term of the facility, the approximate amount of the facility, the
type of facility (i.e., fixed rate v. floating rate; interest only v. amortization), interest rate,
points and other fees, guarantors and types of guaranty agreements, use of deposits/reserves,
required equity, and net worth and liquidity requirements. For purposes only of (i) this
Article XIII, and (ii) the definition of Applicable Exit Fee Percentage set forth in
Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the term “Credit Suisse” shall also include any
Affiliate of Credit Suisse.




          Section 13.2 Right of First Offer Procedure. The Right of First Offer shall be
subject to the procedure set forth below.




               (a) As and when Borrowers determine that they will seek to obtain a Refinancing Loan,
Borrowers shall promptly send to Credit Suisse the Right of First Offer Notice.



               (b) Upon receipt of the Right of First Offer Notice, Credit Suisse shall have the right to
request all information and materials relating to Borrowers, their direct and indirect principals,
the Collateral and the Properties that Credit Suisse shall reasonably require in order to evaluate
whether or not it will seek to obtain the requisite internal approvals (the “Internal Approvals”)
to extend a Refinancing Loan (collectively, the “Right of First Offer Information and Materials”)
and Borrowers hereby agree to cooperate with Credit Suisse in all reasonable respects in connection
with providing the Right of First Offer Information and Materials. Such request for the Right of
First Offer Information and Materials shall be made within five (5) Business Days of Credit
Suisse’s receipt of the Right of First Offer Notice.



               (c) If Credit Suisse is not willing to consider the Refinancing Loan, Credit Suisse shall,
prior to the expiration of the period ending thirty (30) days after Credit Suisse’s receipt of the
Right of First Offer Information and Materials, deliver to Borrowers a written notice to such
effect (“Lender’s Rejection Notice”). Upon receipt of Lender’s Rejection Notice, Borrowers shall
then have the right to solicit Third Party Lenders to provide a Refinancing Loan.



182









 





               (d) If Credit Suisse is willing to consider the Refinancing Loan, Credit Suisse shall, prior
to the expiration of the period ending thirty (30) days after Credit Suisse’s receipt of the Right
of First Offer Information and Materials, deliver to Borrowers a term sheet containing Material
Economic Terms substantially similar to the Material Economic Terms contained in the Right of First
Offer Notice upon which Credit Suisse is prepared to seek the Internal Approvals to extend the
Refinancing Loan (the “ROFO Term Sheet”), it being understood that such ROFO Term Sheet shall not
be binding upon Credit Suisse and shall in no event be deemed a commitment by Credit Suisse to
lend. If Credit Suisse does not deliver a ROFO Term Sheet within such thirty (30) day period,
Credit Suisse shall be deemed to be unwilling to provide the Refinancing Loan on the Material
Economic Terms contained in the Right of First Offer Notice and the terms and conditions of
clause (c) above shall be applicable.



               (e) Credit Suisse shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for (i) failure to deliver any
notice or documents specified herein or (ii) its failure to continue to consider whether or not it
will commit to extend the Refinancing Loan.



          Section 13.3 Application to Credit Suisse. Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree
that Borrowers shall afford the rights under this Article XIII to Credit Suisse whether or
not Credit Suisse or any Affiliate thereof is then “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

equal $400,000,000 or more, and the aggregate Effective Liquidity of all Guarantors shall equal
$200,000,000 or more, and (ii) each Guarantor shall maintain (x) Net Worth of not less than

of such transferee) of the Morgans Guarantor’s interests in HR Holdings (collectively, a “Morgans
Transferee”) shall remain or become a guarantor of the Loan at such time, as to the Morgans
Guarantor and any Morgans Transferee only, the product of $400,000,000.00 and such Person’s then
percentage interest (directly or indirectly) in all profits and losses of HR Holdings, and (y)
Effective Liquidity of not less than $100,000,000, or, in the event that the Morgans Guarantor or
any Morgans Transferee shall remain or become a guarantor of the Loan at such time, as to the
Morgans Guarantor and any Morgans Transferee only, the product of $200,000,000.00 and such Person’s
then percentage interest (directly or indirectly) in all profits and losses of HR Holdings. Upon

Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a certificate of each Guarantor setting
forth in reasonable detail such Guarantor’s Net Worth as of the end of the prior calendar year or

     2. Additional Definitions. As used in this Schedule V, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:




          ”Distributable Cash” means, with respect to any Person, and subject to the following
proviso, the amount of all capital surplus, retained earnings or net profits of such Person
held in the form of cash or cash equivalents (including cash reserves established from
undistributed net profits from any prior fiscal period), then freely and lawfully
distributable to the holders of all equity interests of such Person as dividends or
distributions or in redemption of such equity interests in accordance with all laws and
operative agreements, documents or instruments governing the formation and capitalization of
such Person, the receipt of which by the holders of such equity interests, if so paid, will
not give rise to any liability of the recipient to return or to repay such amounts to such
Person, and the payment or distribution of which by such Person to such equity holders (i)
will not violate any term or condition of any agreement or instrument to which such Person
is subject or by which its properties or assets is bound, and (ii) has been consented to or
approved by all other Persons not controlled by any Guarantor whose consent to or approval
of such payment or distribution is required under any of such operative, governing or other
agreements, documents or instruments; provided that Lender is given, from time to
time, such information as it may reasonably request confirming the foregoing, subject to the
requirements of any existing Guaranty insofar as



 









 







relates to the Morgans Guarantor, so long as Morgans Guarantor remains a guarantor of any of
the Obligations.




          ”Effective Liquidity” means, (A) with respect to any Person, as of a given date, the
sum of (i) all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by such Person and, in the case
of Morgans Guarantor, so long as Morgans Guarantor remains a guarantor of any of the
Obligations, the Distributable Cash of Morgans Gurantor’s direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries, membership or other equity interests which are not pledged to or otherwise
encumbered by any lien, charge or other encumbrance in favor of any Person other than
Morgans Guarantor or Lender; (ii) the aggregate amount of available borrowing of such Person
under credit facilities and other lines of credit; and (iii) except as provided in the
following sentence, the aggregate maximum amount, if any, of all committed and undrawn or
uncalled capital available to such Person (as to any Person its “Available Capital”) under
the terms of any partnership, limited liability, statutory business trust, or similar
agreement of such Person from any Constituent Member (other than (x) any Constituent Member
of another Constituent Member that is publicly traded, and (y) in the case of the DLJ
Guarantor (so long as the DLJ Guarantor remains guarantor of any of the Obligations), any
limited partner of DLJMB HRH Co-Investments, L.P., a DLJMB Party (“Co-Investments LP”)),
less, (iv) the aggregate amount of any accrued but unpaid liabilities or obligations
of such Person under the facilities or agreements described in the preceding clauses
(ii) and (iii), other than (for purposes of this clause (iv)) the
principal amount of Indebtedness under any such facilities, and (B) with respect to DLJ
Guarantor, so long as the DLJ Guarantor remains a guarantor of any of the Obligations, as of
a given date, the sum of all of the foregoing with respect to the DLJ Guarantor and, without
duplication, each of the DLJMB Parties. In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Available Capital of Co-Investments LP for purposes of determining its
Effective Liquidity shall equal, as of a given date, either (1) Co-Investments LP’s
Available Capital, or (2), if greater, and subject to the following proviso, an aggregate
amount not exceeding one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the aggregate Available Capital of
the other DLJMB Parties, provided that Lender is given, from time to time, such
information as it may reasonably request (including an opinion of counsel to Co-Investments
LP in respect of the following clause (y)) to confirm that the limited partners of
Co-Investments LP (x) are financially capable of funding such amount, and (y) are and remain
obligated to make capital contributions to Co-Investments LP in such aggregate amounts in
order to cause the DLJ Guarantor or DLJMB Parties to pay and perform any obligations
guaranteed with respect to the Loan.




          ”Net Worth” shall mean, (A) with respect to the Morgans Guarantor only, so long as
Morgans Guarantor remains a guarantor of the Obligations, as of a given date, an amount
equal to the aggregate fair market value of Morgans Guarantor’s assets and properties (i)
as reasonably determined by Lender in good faith applying such customary and reasonable
market factors as Lender shall then apply to similar assets and properties, or (ii) at the
election of Morgans Guarantor, as determined by appraisals prepared by an independent MAI
real estate “state certified general appraiser” (as defined under regulations or guidelines
issued pursuant the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery Enforcement Act of 1989, 12
U.S.C. 1811 et. seq., as amended) selected by the Morgans Guarantor and approved by Lender
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,



 









 







delayed, or conditioned) at Morgans Guarantor’s sole cost and expense and not more than
ninety (90) days prior to such date, minus the amount of all Indebtedness of Morgans
Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date, but in no event shall such
amount be less than zero, and (B) with respect to any other Person as of a given date, (i)
such Person’s total assets as of such date, less (ii) such Person’s total
liabilities as of such date, in each case, as they would be reflected in a balance sheet
prepared in accordance with GAAP, provided that, so long as DLJ Guarantor remains a
guarantor of any of the Obligations, the Net Worth of the DLJ Guarantor shall equal, as of a
given date, the sum of the Net Worth (determined as provided in the preceding clause
(B)) of the DLJ Guarantor and, without duplication, each of the DLJMB Parties, including
for purposes of this computation, and subject to the following proviso, the Net Worth of any
limited partner of Co-Investments LP that shall have entered into an equity commitment
letter satisfactory to Lender, for the express benefit of Lender, pursuant to which such
limited partner of Co-Investments LP agrees to, and recognizes the rights of Lender in place
and instead of the general partner or manager of Co-Investments LP to require such limited
partner of Co-Investments LP to, make contributions to Co-Investments LP directly to Lender,
in an aggregate amount not exceeding one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the aggregate Net
Worth of the DLJMB Parties other than Co-Investments LP, provided further,
that Lender is given, from time to time, such information as it may reasonably request
(including an opinion of counsel to Co-Investments LP in respect of the following clause
(y)) to confirm (x) the Net Worth of the limited partners of Co-Investments LP, and (y)
that such limited partners of Co-Investments LP are and remain obligated to make capital
contributions to Co-Investments LP in such aggregate amounts in order to cause the DLJ
Guarantor or DLJMB Parties to pay and perform any obligations guaranteed with respect to the
Loan.
