ARTICLE II.

GENERAL TERMS




Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrowers.


 


49









 





2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Original Loan Agreement, Lender agreed to make and Borrowers jointly and severally
agreed to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.




2.1.2 Loan.



(a) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that, on the Closing Date, Lender made the Loan to
Borrowers in the principal amount of $100,000,000.00, which represented a full disbursement of all
proceeds of the Loan. On August 1, 2008, Borrower prepaid a portion of the Loan with the Release
Parcel Release Price received in connection with the sale of certain property by Adjacent Borrower,
resulting in an Outstanding Principal Balance of $88,978,170.66. The Loan is evidenced by the Note
and this Agreement, is secured by 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 other Loan Documents. Principal amounts of the Loan which are repaid
for any reason may not be 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 used the proceeds of the Loan to make a contribution to Mortgage Borrowers for
use by Mortgage Borrowers to make the Mezzanine Prepayment.




Section 2.2 Interest Rate.




2.2.1 Interest Generally.



(a) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the date hereof to and
excluding the Maturity Date at the Monthly Interest Rate.



(b) Interest on the Interest Differential Amounts shall accrue from the date hereof at the
Monthly Interest Rate. All interest accruing on the Interest Differential Amounts shall compound
monthly and be determined by Lender (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
Borrowers absent manifest error).



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 determined in accordance with Section 2.2.1
above and Section 2.2.3 below and based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the
Outstanding Principal Balance or the Accrued Interest amounts, as applicable (it being understood
that the portion of Accrued Interest amounts that represents interest on the Interest Differential
Amounts shall compound monthly). If, at any time, Lender or Borrowers determine that Lender has
miscalculated the Applicable Interest Rate, the Monthly Interest Rate or Accrued Interest (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, the Monthly Interest Rate or Accrued Interest represents an increase in
the applicable monthly (or other) 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, Monthly Interest Rate or



 


50









 






Accrued Interest (if such Accrued Interest shall have been paid) 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. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Debt
Service payment due on the Payment Date occurring in January, 2010 shall be $312,441.88.




2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate.



(a) If the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.2.3(c) or (f) hereof, the Loan shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread.



(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3 and Section
2.3.1, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrowers shall pay interest on the Loan at the
Applicable Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period and shall pay the Accrued Interest as
set forth in Section 2.2.1 hereof. 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
a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive
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
Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the first day of the next occurring Interest
Period.



(e) (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.2.3(e), with respect
to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and
without reduction for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that
if Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments,
then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required
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



 


51









 






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 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



 


52









 






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 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


 


53









 






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;
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 to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding
Principal Balance then bearing interest at the Applicable Interest Rate 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



 


54









 






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 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 (including, without limitation, Accrued Interest), shall accrue interest at the
Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment or amount was due without regard to any grace
or cure periods or any other provision 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 or on or in connection with Accrued Interest 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 or on or in connection with Accrued Interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate,
the Applicable Interest Rate, the rate applicable to Accrued Interest 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 the date hereof, Borrowers shall have entered 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



 


55









 






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 as of the date hereof. 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 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 “A+” by
S&P or “A1” 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


 


56









 






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




(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.

permitted by applicable law, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and

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

prepay the Debt in whole or in part, but in no event shall any partial prepayment be less than
$1,000,000.00; provided that any prepayment is accompanied by (a) if such prepayment

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

applied first to Accrued Interest and then to the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service and all other
sums then due to prepay the Loan. In the event Lender receives a distribution of Net Liquidation
Proceeds After Debt Service on a date other than a Payment Date, such amounts shall be held by
Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest
accruing to the benefit of Borrowers, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. Any

refinancing of the Property, on the date on which a binding commitment for such refinancing is

(a) Such Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with
requisite power and authority to own its assets and to transact the businesses in which it is now
engaged. Such Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its assets, businesses and
operations. Such Borrower possesses all material rights, licenses, permits and authorizations,

Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors 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).



4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents by such Borrower will not materially conflict with or result in a material
breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the

Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Borrower pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or
other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which any of such Borrower’s
property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the



 


77









 






provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over such Borrower or any of such Borrower’s properties or assets, and any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such

results of operations of such Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any Property, the IP, the First
Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral, (ii) 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

Operating Permit) pending or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, threatened in writing, either (i) in
connection with, or that seeks to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise
challenge, any of the Loan Documents, the First Mezzanine Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated therein, or (ii) to Borrower’s actual knowledge,
that, either singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on
any Gaming License currently in effect with respect to the Casino Component, including, without
limitation, any such proceeding, investigation or disciplinary action pending or, threatened
against Gaming Operator, any Loan Party or any of their respective directors, members, managers,
officers, key personnel or Persons holding a five percent (5%) or greater direct or indirect equity

4.1.5 Agreements. Such Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any restriction which would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect any
Loan Party, any Property, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral, or such
Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or



 


78









 






otherwise. To the best of such Borrower’s actual knowledge, no Loan Party is in default in
any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, license or instrument to which it is a party or
by which such Loan Party or any of the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the
Collateral are bound. Such Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower is
a party or by which such Borrower or its properties or assets is otherwise bound, other than (a)
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business relating to such Borrower’s ownership and
operation of the Collateral permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special
Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of the business relating to Mortgage Borrowers’ ownership and operation of the Properties as
permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in
Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, (c) obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of the business relating to First Mezzanine Borrowers’ ownership
and operation of the First Mezzanine Collateral as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the
definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 of the First Mezzanine Loan
Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, and (d) obligations under the Loan Documents.




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 that have been properly filed in the appropriate records, created and continue
to 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) First Mezzanine Borrowers are the record and beneficial owners of, and have good and
marketable title to, the First Mezzanine Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except
for the Liens contemplated by and permitted under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents.



(d) 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 (i) such Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan, (ii) Mortgage



 


79









 






Borrowers’ ability to repay the Mortgage Loan or (iii) First Mezzanine Borrowers’ ability to
repay the First Mezzanine Loan.



(e) 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 respective
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 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, the First Mezzanine
Collateral 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 other Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor
to perform, in all material respects, its respective obligations under each of the Loan Documents,
the First Mezzanine Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.

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, the First Mezzanine Collateral 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 First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or any part of either of the
foregoing or any monies paid in performance of (i) any Mortgage Borrower’s obligations under any of
the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) any First Mezzanine Borrower’s obligations under any of the First
Mezzanine Loan Documents, or (iii) any Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

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, the First Mezzanine
Collateral or any Property or (a) the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino

Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal to Comparable

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,

purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.

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.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, claim, counterclaim or defense by any Restricted Party, 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 no Restricted Party has asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
claim, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

and severally covenant and agree with Lender that:



5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do or cause

rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply, or
cause each other Loan Party to comply, in all material respects with all Legal Requirements
applicable to such Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, 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 any other Loan Party 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 First Mezzanine Collateral, 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 First Mezzanine Borrowers’ obligations under any of the
First Mezzanine 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 each other Loan Party 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’

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
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 any other Loan
Party 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 First Mezzanine Collateral, 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)

instrument to which such Loan Party is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and

Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement;

Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or any Property; and (f) such Borrower
shall furnish, or shall cause each other Loan Party 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 First Mezzanine Collateral, 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

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 any
other Loan Party to suffer, and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide

Collateral or the Collateral, and shall promptly pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly
pay, for all utility services provided to any of the Properties. After prior notice to Lender,
any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest, or may cause each other Loan Party 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 Mezzanine Event of
Default exists; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with

Collateral, the Collateral nor any part of any of the foregoing or interest therein will be in
imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) such Borrower shall

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, the First Mezzanine Collateral
and the Collateral; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such other Loan Party 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 First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or any Property
(or any part of any of the foregoing 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

Borrowers shall exercise their rights to cause First Mezzanine Borrowers and, in turn, First
Mezzanine Borrowers shall exercise their rights to cause Mortgage Borrowers to make to Borrowers

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 each other Loan Party to reasonably cooperate, fully with Lender with respect to any

(d) In the event that any Mortgage Borrower must incur any 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

obtain a disbursement of funds for payment of Extraordinary Expenses prior to obtaining Lender

and Borrowers’ obligations thereunder. 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

(B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to
the Exchange Act in



 


99









 






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 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 (unless otherwise specified) 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 each 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) Borrowers hereby agree to provide Lender with at least five (5) Business Days’ written
notice prior to the effectiveness of any change (and each change) in any of the Independent
Directors.


 


100









 





(j) 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

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 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 each Loan

and will cause each other Loan Party to qualify, to do business and will remain, and will cause
each other Loan Party 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 First
Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Properties or the IP, as applicable.



5.1.13 Title to the Collateral, the Properties and the IP. Borrowers will warrant and
defend (i) the title to the Collateral and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted

whomsoever.



(b) 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

bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of any Borrower or
any of its Constituent



 


101









 






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

102









 






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 from and after
the date hereof 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 without the prior written consent
of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrowers

conditioned or delayed. Borrowers shall cause First Mezzanine Borrowers to provide Lender with a
copy of any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification to the First Mezzanine

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

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,

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 will
be permitted without the consent of 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

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



 


104









 






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 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 (A) Mortgage Borrowers are
required to and do deliver such security to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or
(B) if the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, First Mezzanine Borrowers are required to and do
deliver such security to First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine 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, or by First Mezzanine Borrowers to First Mezzanine
Lender, as applicable, 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



 


105









 






Property
(other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration

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 Loan, and will continue to rely on Mortgage
Borrowers’ ownership of the Properties and the IP as a 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.

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.



(b) Without the prior consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this
Section 5.2.10, Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any Transfer Restricted Party to,
(i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, license, grant options with
respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record)
any Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or any IP or any part

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 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.


 


124









 





(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 and the First Mezzanine 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 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



 


125









 






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 in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4.3(c) hereof and, with respect to
the determination of the Exit Fee payable in connection therewith, Section 2.8 hereof.
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 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



 


126









 






thereof sufficient to pay the Debt (and all components thereof, including, without limitation, the Exit
Fee).



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.

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 accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.4.4 hereof (with the determination of the Exit Fee payable in connection
therewith being made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8), which Section
2.4.4 provides for the application of such amounts to 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 follows: (i) first, 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 (ii) then, 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 if (1) all of the 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,



 


131









 






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
7.9. 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.



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).

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



 


137









 






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 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 sum of the entire Outstanding Principal Balance and all Accrued Interest, Lender may foreclose
upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal
Balance (or amounts owing) 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



 


138









 






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 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. 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 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 (including, without limitation, any purchaser of all or any portion of the Loan, the
Mortgage Loan and/or a Mezzanine Loan and/or any purchaser of any participation interest in any
such loan) 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, the First Mezzanine Collateral 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 or reasonably required by any above-referenced
investor in the applicable loan, (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;


 


140









 






(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;




(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 First Mezzanine Collateral, 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, the First Mezzanine Collateral and/or the Collateral in form
and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.


 


141









 





(b) Lender shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses (excluding fees and
expenses of Borrowers’ 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 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 First
Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator



 


142









 






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 or any Affiliate of Lender 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 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 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 First Mezzanine Collateral,
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 First Mezzanine Collateral, 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



 


143









 






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 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 Lender, (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 Lender 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



 


144









 






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 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 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)



 


145









 






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;




(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 Deleted;




(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, including,
without limitation, (I) any income, proceeds or other amounts received by any Loan
Party under the Casino Component Lease, 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);


 


146









 






(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;




(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 (provided that a Transfer
to Lender or any Mezzanine Lender in connection with a foreclosure, an assignment in
lieu of foreclosure, or other consensual Transfer to Lender or any Mezzanine Lender
shall in no event give rise to any liability under this clause 9.4(x) and provided
further, that any such Transfer to Lender or any Mezzanine Lender shall not limit or
waive any other liability of the Borrowers or Guarantor under the other provisions
of this Section 9.4 or the Non-Recourse Guaranty, as applicable);




(xi) Intentionally Deleted;




(xii) Intentionally Deleted;




(xiii) if HRHI shall fail to provide Assigned Employees for the operation of

(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 or a
foreclosure of the Mortgage or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, 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;


 


147









 






(xvi) in connection with the $250,000.00 lease termination fee pursuant to
Section 3.2(B) of that certain Lease by and between PM Realty, LLC and HRHI, as
landlord, and Mr. Chow of Las Vegas, LLC, as tenant, dated December 24, 2004;

including, without limitation, (A) the imposition of any tax (including interest and

Loan Agreement.




(xix) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a)(xvii)(A)
hereof.



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan
Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for
the full amount of the Debt secured by the Pledge Agreement or to require that all collateral shall

Controls any Loan Party, or HRHI or both Guarantors, solicit or cause to be solicited petitioning
creditors for any involuntary petition against any Loan Party, HRHI or both Guarantors from any
Person (other than if requested to do so by or on



 


148









 






behalf of Lender); (iii) any Loan Party, HRHI or both Guarantors filing an answer consenting to, or any
Loan Party, HRHI or both Guarantors, or any Affiliate of any of them who Controls any Loan Party,
otherwise consenting to or acquiescing or joining in, any involuntary petition filed against any

failing to comply, or cause compliance by the applicable Loan Party, with the requirements of the
Gaming Laws to obtain the approval of the Gaming Authorities of the pledge of the Gaming Securities
pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Pledge Agreement (it being understood and agreed that Borrowers
shall have no liability under this 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.



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and
except for (1) Guarantors’ obligations under the Non-Recourse Guaranty, the Closing Completion

and (3) with respect to the DLJ Guarantor, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners IV, L.P., MBP IV Plan

Banking Partners IV (Pacific), L.P. (such limited partnerships, collectively, the “DLJMB Parties”)
as provided in the DLJMB Commitment Letter, no 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 loan capital to
any Borrower or to any other Constituent Member in any Borrower shall at any
time be deemed to be 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.

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

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.

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

of Lender and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and the requirements of any
Gaming Authorities, terminate the Casino Component Lease and replace the Gaming
Operator with a Qualified Gaming Operator pursuant to a new gaming lease 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



 


150









 






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.

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.

Section 10.1 Survival.
 This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein
and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan
and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect
so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set
forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and

satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion
of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Whenever this Agreement expressly provides that
Lender may not unreasonably withhold its consent or its approval of an arrangement or term, such
provisions shall also be deemed to
prohibit Lender from unreasonably delaying or conditioning such consent or approval. Prior to
a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to
approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the

shall be substituted therefor.

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



 


153









 






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, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan
Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when

when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day; in the case of expedited prepaid
delivery and telecopy, upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day; or in the case of

provided, that within three (3) Business Days thereafter, a hard copy of such Notice shall

Section 10.6. Any failure to deliver a Notice by reason of a change of address not given
in accordance with this Section 10.6, or any refusal to accept a Notice, shall be deemed to

required or permitted to be given by Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document may also be
given by the Servicer. Any Notice sent to one Borrower shall constitute and shall be deemed to

the requirements of this Section 10.6 unless a hard copy of such Notice shall have been delivered
pursuant to the provisions of clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.6.



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 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



 


156









 






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, including, without limitation, the Exit Fee; (vi)
dealing with any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender hereunder; (vii) enforcing or preserving any
of Lender’s 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 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



 


157









 






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

(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 Original Lender and
various of its indirect subsidiaries and/or affiliates own indirect ownership interests in each

thereof shall have any liability to Borrower as a result of such relationship between Original
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

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.



(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or the
Intercreditor Agreement, Lender hereby waives any and all rights to approve or otherwise consent to
(i) any Change Order; (ii) any reallocation of Contingency Line
Items under the Loan Budget and/or (iii) any FF&E leases, and in no event shall Borrower be
required to see Lender’s approval of or consent to the same.

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.

Section 11.3 Mortgage Loan Defaults and First Mezzanine 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 or any First Mezzanine Event of Default, Borrowers hereby expressly agree
that Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice to or demand on any of the applicable
Loan Parties, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan
and/or the First Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, and any other sums, that are then due and payable
and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of the applicable Loan Parties, as may be
appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or
the First Mezzanine Loan Documents on the part of such Loan Parties 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), 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 any of the Loan Parties 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 the First Mezzanine Loan, as
applicable, 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 or the
First Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, 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
or the First Mezzanine 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



 


165









 






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 or First Mezzanine Event of
Default, any such cure by Lender shall not waive or be deemed to have cured such Mortgage Event of
Default or such First Mezzanine 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 and/or the
First Mezzanine Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to (i) all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under
the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Properties and Mortgage Borrowers and/or (ii) all of the
rights of First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents against the First
Mezzanine Collateral and First Mezzanine Borrowers, as applicable, in each case 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 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 and First Mezzanine 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 First Mezzanine Loan,
the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender and/or First Mezzanine Lender or its
respective 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 or First Mezzanine 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 and the risks of First Mezzanine Lender in making the First Mezzanine 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



 


166









 






Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine 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/or the First Mezzanine 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, First Mezzanine Lender and Third Mezzanine Lender will be
solely for the benefit of Lender, Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine Lender and Third Mezzanine
Lender; (ii) none of Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, First Mezzanine Borrowers or Third Mezzanine
Borrowers shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein; and (iii)
none Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, First 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, First 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.



(b) In the event that Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, is
required to pay over to Mortgage Lender or First Mezzanine 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.

surrender or relinquish one or more or all of the Gaming Licenses 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

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 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 Section
12.1(h), except for Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

maintain the Casino Account and/or Cage Reserve pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.6.1 and 12.3 of
the Mortgage Loan Agreement and (B) First Mezzanine Lender waives the requirements of First
Mezzanine Borrowers to maintain the Casino Account and/or Cage Reserve pursuant to the terms of
Sections 2.6.1 and 12.3 of the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or (ii) the Mortgage Loan and the
First Mezzanine Loan have been repaid in full (without a prepayment of the Loan in full), Lender

the same manner as the Casino Account and Cage Reserve in Sections 2.6.1 and 12.3 of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and the provisions of Section 2.6.1 and 12.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all

ARTICLE XIII.

INTENTIONALLY DELETED




ARTICLE XIV.




Section 14.1 Amendment and Restatement.
Borrowers and Lender hereby agree that the Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety, and that from and after the date hereof, all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement shall replace the terms and conditions of the Original
Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the execution of this Agreement shall not
impair the liens of any of the Loan Documents.



ARTICLE XV.

CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT




Section 15.1 Contribution Generally.
As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each individual Borrower
may benefit, directly and indirectly, from the payment of the Debt and the performance of the
Obligations by other Borrowers (or the application of the collateral owned by such other
Borrowers to the



 


170









 






payment of the Debt or the performance of the Obligations) and, in consideration therefor,
each Borrower (i) desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement with the other
Borrowers as set forth in this Article XV to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make
contributions among each of the applicable Borrowers in the event any obligation of any Borrower
is performed by any other Borrower and (ii) agrees to subordinate and subrogate any rights or
claims it may have against other Borrowers as and to the extent set forth in this Article XV.



Section 15.2 Reimbursement Contribution.
In the event any one or more Borrowers (any such Borrower, a “Funding Borrower”) pays or is
deemed to have paid an amount in excess of the principal amount set forth for such Borrower in
Schedule XXII (such principal amount, the “Allocable Principal Balance”) (any such payment or
deemed payment in excess of the applicable Allocable Principal Balance, a “Contribution”) as a
result of (a) such Funding Borrower’s payment of the Debt and/or performance of any of the other
Obligations and/or (b) Lender’s realization on the Collateral or other assets owned by such
Funding Borrower (whether by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure, private sale or
other means), then after (i) payment in full of the Loan and the satisfaction of all of all
Borrowers’ other obligations to Lender and (ii) payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan
and the Mezzanine Loans, such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to contribution from each
benefited Borrower for the amount of the Contribution so paid, advanced or benefited (any such
contribution, a “Reimbursement Contribution”), up to such benefited Borrower’s then current
Allocable Principal Balance. The parties acknowledge that the Allocable Principal Balances
shown on Schedule XXII were computed assuming the Loan is or has been fully advanced, and that
each amount shown in Schedule XXII shall be re-computed (or reduced) proportionally if
Reimbursement Contributions are required to be determined for purposes of this Article XV at a
time when the Loan has not been fully advanced. Any Reimbursement Contributions required to be
made hereunder shall, subject to the balance of the provisions in this Article XV regarding
payment, subordination and subrogation, be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor.



Section 15.3 Defaulting Borrower.
If a Borrower (a “Defaulting Borrower”) shall have failed to make a Reimbursement
Contribution as hereinabove provided, after the later to occur of (a) payment of the Loan in
full and the satisfaction of all of all Borrowers’ other obligations to Lender and after payment
in full by the Mortgage Borrower of the Mortgage Loan and payment in full by the Mezzanine
Borrowers of the Mezzanine Loans or (b) the date which is 366 days after payment in full of the
Loan, the Funding Borrower to whom such Reimbursement Contribution is owed shall be subrogated
to the rights of Lender against such Defaulting Borrower, including the right to receive a
portion of such Defaulting Borrower’s Collateral or assets in an amount equal to the
Reimbursement Contribution payment required hereunder that such Defaulting Borrower failed to
make; provided, however, if Lender returns any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a
Borrower, all other Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Lender all such amounts
returned, together with interest at the Default Rate accruing from and after the date on which
such amounts were returned. For avoidance of doubt, until such time as the Loan, the Mortgage
Loan and the Mezzanine Loans are indefeasibly paid in full and satisfied, each of the Borrowers
hereby subjects and subordinates to payment of the Loan to the Lender and to payment of
distributions to its Member (in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement) any and



 


171









 






all rights of such Borrower under this Article XV, including its right to Reimbursement
Contribution, and waives any right of subrogation such Funding Borrower may have with respect
thereto.



Section 15.3 Maximum Liability.
Each Borrower shall be liable under this Article XV with respect to the Obligations only
for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under
any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provisions of any State law.



Section 15.5 Applicable Contributions.
In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to
any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement
Contributions from Defaulting Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding
Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contributions made for or on account of the
other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the
event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated
pursuant to this Section 15.5, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the
extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other
Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.



Section 15.5 Reimbursement Contribution as Asset.
Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to receive any Reimbursement Contributions in
accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute an asset of the Borrower to which any such
Reimbursement Contribution is owing.



Section 15.7 Subordination.
No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
Article XV shall be paid until (i) all amounts then due and payable by the Borrowers to Lender,
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, (ii) all amounts then due and payable by the
Mortgage Borrowers to the Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of any of the Mortgage Loan
Documents and (iii) all amounts then due and payable by any of the Mezzanine Borrowers to any of
the Mezzanine Lenders pursuant to the terms of any of the Mezzanine Loan Documents are each paid
in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Article XV shall limit or affect in any way the
Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

(c) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any
guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any
other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under
the Note, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents;



(d) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or
agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other
Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other
Borrower;



(e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a
surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a
principal;



(f) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or
failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;




(g) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;



(h) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition
of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other person or entity or any defect in any
notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;



(i) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with Applicable Laws in connection
with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including, without limitation, any failure of
Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;



(j) any defense based upon any election by Lender, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the
application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor
statute;



(k) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code;



(l) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to
the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;



(m) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364
of the Bankruptcy Code;



(n) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any
reason;



(o) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding,



 


173









 






including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations
evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;



(p) any defense or benefit based upon any Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the
portion of any obligation secured by the Pledge Agreement or other Loan Documents to be satisfied
by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party;



(q) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the
election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any
other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed any Borrower’s rights of subrogation
and reimbursement against any other Borrower;



(r) any claim or other right which any Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against
any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any
obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not
such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law; and



(s) any rights of Borrowers of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and/or
contribution against any other Borrower or any other person or entity, and any other rights and
defenses that are or may become available to any Borrower or any other person or entity by reasons
of applicable law.



The statements and provisions set forth in this Article XV are intended to effectuate, inter
alia, a subordination agreement which shall be effective in any bankruptcy or other similar
proceeding involving any or all of the Borrowers and/or the Collateral or any portion thereof.
