Parcel Release Price in connection with the sale of certain property by Adjacent Borrower,
the Original Acquisition Loan is now in the reduced amount of $364,810,499.71 (the “Reduced

certain property by Adjacent Borrower and accounting for advances of the Construction Loan
to date, the Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance is $467,443,347.38. The
Construction Loan is evidenced by the Construction Loan Note and this Agreement, is secured
by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be repaid with interest, costs and
charges as more particularly set forth in the Construction Loan Note, this Agreement, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Principal amounts of the Construction Loan which are
repaid for any reason may not be reborrowed. Lender shall not fund any portion of the

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

2.2.2. Interest Calculation. Interest on each of the Reduced Acquisition Loan
Outstanding Principal Balance and the Construction Loan 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
2.2.3 below and based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Reduced Acquisition
Loan Outstanding Principal Balance or the Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance,
as applicable. If, at any time, Lender or Borrowers determine that Lender has miscalculated
any Applicable Interest Rate (whether because of a miscalculation of LIBOR or otherwise),
such party shall notify the other of the necessary correction. Upon the agreement of the
parties as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an
increase in the applicable monthly payment, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after
receipt of notice from Lender, pay to Lender the corrected amount. Upon the agreement of
the parties as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate represents an
overpayment by Borrowers to Lender and no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall
promptly refund the overpayment to Borrowers or, at Borrowers’ option, credit such amounts
against Borrowers’ payment next due hereunder. 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 $1,941,773.03.

2.2.3. Determination of Interest Rate. (a) The Applicable Interest Rate with
respect to each Component shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Reduced Acquisition Loan Spread or
the Construction Loan Spread, as applicable, with respect to the applicable Interest Period
for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the applicable Prime Rate Spread for a Prime
Rate Loan if the applicable Component(s) is/are converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to
the provisions of Section 2.2.3(c) or (f) hereof.

 

66

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, each Component shall be
a LIBOR Loan and Borrowers shall pay interest on each of the Reduced Acquisition Loan Outstanding
Principal Balance and the Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance at LIBOR plus the Reduced
Acquisition Loan Spread or the Construction Loan Spread, as applicable, for the applicable Interest
Period. Any change in any 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, any 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, each 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) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrowers shall make such
deductions, and (C) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. If Lender gives Borrowers written notice that any
such amounts are payable by Borrowers, Borrowers shall pay all such amounts to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements by the later of (1) five
(5) Business Days after receipt of demand from Lender and (2) their due date, and, as promptly as
possible thereafter, such Borrower 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 the Administrative Agent and 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

 

67

 

asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative
Agent or Lender, as the case may be, 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, the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as applicable, 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 the
Administrative Agent or 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 a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a 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 (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), 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 and the Administrative Agent (or, in
the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been
purchased), on or before the date that such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, two
(2) properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form
W-8IMY, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or successor forms thereto), claiming a complete
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrowers under
this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware of the
obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender
(unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a change in law) and shall promptly notify
Borrowers at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.

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

 

68

 

(v) If the Administrative Agent or a 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 the Administrative Agent or such 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 the Administrative Agent or
such 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 the Administrative Agent or such
Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such 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 the Administrative Agent or any 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 any LIBOR Loan hereunder; provided that such additional amount is generally
charged by Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan.

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

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

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

 

69

 

(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 any 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 any LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether
voluntary or mandatory) of any 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 any LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the
conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of any Applicable Interest
Rate from LIBOR plus the Reduced Acquisition Loan Spread or the Construction Loan Spread, as
applicable, to the Prime Rate plus the applicable Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of
the Reduced Acquisition Loan Outstanding Principal Balance or the Construction Loan Outstanding
Principal Balance, as applicable, then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Reduced Acquisition Loan
Spread or the Construction Loan Spread, as applicable, 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 any LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage
Costs”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not indemnify Lender from any loss
or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, fraud, illegal acts or gross negligence. No
Breakage Costs shall be due or payable if, in connection with any prepayment of the Loan by
Borrowers, Borrowers pay interest through the next Payment Date as provided in Section
2.4.1 hereof.

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

 

70

 

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 all LIBOR Loans 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 all
LIBOR Loans 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, each of the Reduced Acquisition Loan
Outstanding Principal Balance and the Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance and,
to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and
any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default
Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure
periods contained herein.

2.2.6. Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Notes 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 any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which
could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of
the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any
Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on any portion of the
Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable
Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately
reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of
the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use,
forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated
term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of
the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7. Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to the date hereof, Borrowers
shall have entered into one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements for each of the Components
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 Lockbox Account any amounts due Borrowers

 

71

 

under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists,
provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist even if one or more of the
Properties or the IP 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 Reduced Acquisition Loan Outstanding Principal Balance or the
Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance, as applicable, as of the date hereof.
Borrowers shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignments of
Interest Rate Caps, 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 Lockbox
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 Lockbox 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;

 

72

 

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

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

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

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

Section 2.3. Loan Payment.

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

 

73

 

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

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

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

2.3.4. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to
Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made
in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s
office at 156 West 56th Street, Suite 1900, New York, New York 10019, Attention:
Jesse Hom, or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such
time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding
Business Day.

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

2.4.1. Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) From and after the date hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrowers may, at their option and upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to
Lender (or such shorter period as may be permitted by Lender), prepay the Debt in whole or in part,
but in no event shall any partial prepayment be less than $1,000,000.00; provided that any
prepayment is accompanied by (i) if such prepayment occurs on a date other than a Payment Date, all
interest which would have accrued on the amount of each Component paid (in accordance with
Section 2.4.3(a) hereof) through, but not including, the first (1st) day of the
next succeeding calendar month, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and
including the last day of the Interest Period that commenced immediately prior to the applicable
Payment Date; (ii) the Exit Fee; and (iii) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the
Notes, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Breakage Costs, if any, and
all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements)
incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. If a notice of prepayment is given by
Borrowers to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount

 

74

 

designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be
due and payable on the proposed prepayment date; provided, however, Borrowers shall
have the right to postpone or revoke such prepayment upon written notice to Lender not less than
two (2) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is due so long as Borrowers pay Lender
and/or Servicer all actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or
Servicer in connection with such postponement or revocation.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers and Lender expressly
acknowledge and agree that on November 6, 2007, Borrowers, with the permission of Lender, made
Mezzanine Prepayments of the Loan in the aggregate amount of $350,000,000.00 and that no portion of
such prepaid amount of the Loan shall be readvanced to Borrowers or any other Person.

2.4.2. Application of Net Proceeds.

(a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives
any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to, and does not otherwise elect in its sole
discretion to, make such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for Restoration in accordance with
Section 6.4 hereof, Borrowers shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a
prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%)
of such Net Proceeds. No penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made
pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a) (but the Exit Fee and any related Breakage Costs shall be
payable in connection with any such prepayment). Any prepayment under this Section
2.4.2(a) shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4.3(c) hereof. Any Net Proceeds
in excess of the amount required to pay the Debt in full (including the Exit Fee and any related
Breakage Costs) shall be (a) disbursed by Lender to First Mezzanine Lender for application in
accordance with the terms of the First Mezzanine Loan Documents if the First Mezzanine Debt (or any
portion thereof) is then outstanding, until the First Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (b)
disbursed by First Mezzanine Lender to Second Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with
the terms of the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents if the Second Mezzanine Debt (or any portion
thereof) is then outstanding, until the Second Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (c)
disbursed by Second Mezzanine Lender to Third Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with
the terms of the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents if the Third Mezzanine Debt (or any portion
thereof) is then outstanding, until the Third Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (d) the
balance disbursed shall be disbursed by Third Mezzanine Lender to Borrowers.

(b) Intentionally Deleted.

(c) Intentionally Deleted.

(d) Intentionally Deleted.

(e) Intentionally Deleted.

(f) Intentionally Deleted.

 

75

 

2.4.3. Application of Payments of Principal. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the following principal payments shall be allocated
among the Loan (without limiting any other provisions set forth herein, Borrowers hereby
acknowledge and agree that an Exit Fee shall be payable in connection with any principal
prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan), the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second
Mezzanine Loan and the Third Mezzanine Loan as follows:

(a) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any voluntary
prepayment, including, without limitation, any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.7.3 or
Section 3.3(d) hereof, shall be applied in the following order (i) first, to the Reduced
Acquisition Loan Debt, until such Reduced Acquisition Loan Debt is paid in full, (ii) then, to the
Construction Loan Debt, until such Construction Loan Debt is paid in full, (iii) then, any
remaining amounts shall be disbursed by Lender to First Mezzanine Lender to be applied to the First
Mezzanine Debt, until the First Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, (iv) then, any remaining amounts
shall be disbursed by First Mezzanine Lender to Second Mezzanine Lender to be applied to the Second
Mezzanine Debt, until the Second Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, (v) then, any remaining amounts
shall be disbursed by Second Mezzanine Lender to Third Mezzanine Lender to be applied to the Third
Mezzanine Debt, until the Third Mezzanine Debt is paid in full; provided, however,
that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall apply any
voluntary prepayment first, to payment of the Debt (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee),
in any order, priority and proportion as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion from time to
time, until the Debt (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee) is paid in full, and (A) Lender
shall then disburse any remainder to First Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with the
terms of the First Mezzanine Loan Documents if the First Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is

such Affiliate Joint Venture Counterparty and Unaffiliated Joint Venture Counterparty to take any
such further actions, as reasonably requested by Lender to evidence, secure and perfect such pledge
of the ownership interest(s) of any Affiliate Joint Venture Counterparty, or (B) if such Release
Parcel Purchaser is an Affiliate Release Parcel Purchaser of any kind, whether or not a Joint
Venture, at Lender’s election, which in the case of a Release Parcel Purchaser who is a Joint
Venture, would be in lieu of the foregoing clause (A), a security interest in any future
sales proceeds from the sale of such Partial

 

81

 

Release Parcel shall be pledged to Lender as additional collateral for the Obligations, which
pledge shall constitute a first priority Lien thereon, and Borrowers shall have executed such
documents and instruments, and taken such further actions, as reasonably requested by Lender to
evidence, secure and perfect such pledge; provided, however, that in the case of
either clause (A) or clause (B) above, such pledge (y) shall not prohibit, or
require Lender’s consent to, a subsequent sale by the Release Parcel Purchaser of such Partial
Release Parcel, but shall only require that the net proceeds of any such subsequent sale, which are

Loan pursuant to the same terms and conditions as governed the payment of the Release Parcel
Release Price that was paid in connection with such Partial Release Parcel (it being understood

previously-paid Release Parcel Release Price for such Partial Release Parcel for all purposes under
this Agreement), provided, however that such pledge agreement shall provide that any
transfer by Affiliate Release Parcel Purchaser to an affiliate thereof for the sole purpose of
avoiding the payment of the future sales proceeds which would otherwise be payable to Lender in
connection with a subsequent sale of the Partial Release Parcel or the equity interests therein in
accordance with such pledge shall be void ab initio, and (z) shall terminate upon the earlier of
(I) one (1) year from the date of such Release Parcel Sale or (II) the repayment in full of the
Debt;

(viii) Intentionally Deleted;

(ix) Intentionally Deleted;

(x) Borrowers shall have paid all of the actual out-of-pocket reasonable third party legal

Adjacent Property, Borrowers shall have provided to Lender an opinion letter from counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Lender confirming that such Release Parcel Sale shall not constitute a
“significant modification” of the Loan within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the regulations of
the United States Department of the Treasury or would otherwise violate any of the provisions of
the federal income tax law relating to real estate mortgage investment conduits, which appear at
Section 860A through 860G of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, as amended, and related
provisions and regulations (including any applicable proposed regulations) and rulings promulgated
thereunder, as the foregoing may be in effect from time to time (collectively, the “REMIC

membership interests therein, and (ii) the occurrence of the following events, all of which shall
occur substantially contemporaneously through an escrow established with an escrow agent reasonably
acceptable to Lender and pursuant to escrow instructions reasonably acceptable to Lender: (A) the
transfer by deed of the applicable Partial Release Parcel from Adjacent Borrower to such Subsidiary
Transferee subject to the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, (B) the immediately subsequent
purchase of all of the equity interests held by Adjacent Borrower in such Subsidiary Transferee by
the applicable Bonafide Release Parcel Purchaser or Affiliate Release Parcel Purchaser, as the case

Bonafide Release Parcel Purchaser or Affiliate Release Parcel Purchaser, as the case may be, shall
refer to the ultimate purchaser of the equity interests held by Adjacent Borrower in the Subsidiary
Transferee, rather than to the Subsidiary Transferee, (2) the gross sales price used in the
calculation of the applicable Release Parcel Release Price with respect to a Bonafide Release
Parcel Purchaser shall refer to the gross sales price for the purchase of the equity interests held
by Adjacent Borrower in the Subsidiary Transferee, rather than to any consideration paid by the
Subsidiary Transferee to Adjacent Borrower, and

 

84

 

(3) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 2.5.1(a), all references to such Release Parcel Sale and/or

Release Price and all other related terms and items shall be deemed to be references to, and shall
include, the sale of the equity interests held by Adjacent Borrower to the ultimate Bonafide
Release Parcel Purchaser or Affiliate Release Parcel Purchaser, as the case may be, rather than to
the transfer by deed of the applicable Partial Release Parcel from Adjacent Borrower to the
Subsidiary Transferee.

otherwise be entitled to receive under Section 2.6.2(b) hereof or Section 2.6.2(c) hereof on the
Payment Date immediately following the date of such request). Each Operating Expense Request shall

Hard Costs, the applicable Retainage for each contract and subcontract, (ii) the aggregate amount
of any Construction Loan Advances (excluding the Remaining Construction Loan Advance) previously
made by Lender, and (iii) any Shortfall payments required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to
Section 3.12 hereof. It is further understood that, as between Lender and Borrowers, the
Retainage described above is intended to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against
failure of Borrowers or Guarantors to fulfill any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that
Lender may charge amounts against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to
expend funds to cure any continuing Event of Default.

(h) The Retainage, as applicable, shall be advanced on a contract by contract basis as
follows: (i) with respect to Major Contracts which have been previously

 

107

 

approved by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, the Retainage shall be released in
accordance with the Retainage release provisions contained therein, it being acknowledged and
agreed by Borrowers, however, that Lender’s consent of any such Major Contract may reasonably take
into account such Retainage release provisions and their relationship to the progress of the
construction work required under such Major Contract, and (ii) with respect to any other contract
or subcontract, after final completion of all construction work provided for under such contract or
subcontract and pursuant to a Construction Loan Advance made in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 3.3 and/or 3.4 hereof, as applicable.

(i) No Construction Loan Advance by Lender shall be deemed to be an approval or acceptance by
Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.

(j) Lender shall not be required to disburse for any category or Line Item more than the
amount specified therefor in the Loan Budget, subject to Sections 3.9, 3.10 and
3.15 hereof (or other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion).

(k) In connection with the final Construction Loan Advance hereunder (which shall be made
under and in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof), upon satisfaction of the
conditions to such Construction Loan Advance as set forth in Section 3.4 and payment of a fee to
Lender equal to the Cost Savings Fee, Borrowers shall be entitled to receive a Construction Loan
Advance in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) all actual cost savings as determined by
Lender at Final Completion based on Lender’s consultation with the Construction Consultant (which
costs savings shall not be duplicative of costs savings which any Borrower received or is entitled
to receive a reimbursement for or payment from the General Contractor under the terms of the
General Contract as a result of actual amounts previously paid to such General Contractor) and (ii)
the unadvanced portion of the Construction Loan Amount (after taking into consideration all other
amounts to be advanced in connection with such final Construction Loan Advance). Any amounts to be
advanced in accordance with the terms of the preceding sentence shall be advanced by Lender into
the General Reserve Fund to be held and applied in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 3.2. Initial Construction Loan Advance. Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees
that all conditions precedent to the Initial Construction Loan Advance were satisfied or waived on
the Construction Qualification Date, including, without limitation, the posting of the Required
Equity Letter of Credit in the Required Equity Amount as determined as of the Construction
Qualification Date, and Borrower hereby acknowledges receipt of such Initial Construction Loan
Advance as well as Advances made subsequent thereto prior to the date hereof.

Section 3.3. Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Construction Loan Advances. The
obligation of Lender to make any Construction Loan Advances from and after the date hereof shall be
subject to the satisfaction by Borrower or written waiver by Lender (in its sole discretion) of the
following conditions precedent with respect to each subsequent Construction Loan Advance:

 

108

 

(a) Prior Conditions Satisfied. All conditions to any prior Construction Loan
Advances set forth herein or in any predecessor loan agreement (except, with respect to any
Construction Loan Advance requested pursuant to a Draw Request submitted after the date hereof, to

be satisfied by Borrower or waived in writing by Lender as of the date of such subsequent
Construction Loan Advance.

If Borrowers elect to deliver any Required Equity Letter of Credit, the following shall apply
to each such Required Equity Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, the Required Equity

hereof representing any Subsequent Required Equity Amount:

 

111

 

(A) Borrowers shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, any costs or expenses incurred in drawing down on such Required
Equity Letter of Credit. Borrowers shall not be entitled to draw from any
such Required Equity Letter of Credit. Upon five (5) days notice to Lender
and provided that no Event of Default, First Mezzanine Event of
Default, Second Mezzanine Event of Default or Third Mezzanine Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers may replace such

hereof), following which prepayment, Lender shall promptly return such
Required Equity Letter of Credit to Borrowers.

(B) Each Required Equity Letter of Credit delivered under this
Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender

of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.4.3(a) hereof applicable to a prepayment
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(C) In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a
Required Equity Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full on
any Required Equity Letter of Credit: (1) with respect to any evergreen
Required Equity Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the
issuing bank that such Required Equity Letter of Credit will not be renewed
and a substitute Required Equity Letter of Credit is not provided at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Required
Equity Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (2) with respect to any
Required Equity Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender
has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed such
Required Equity Letter of Credit at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date on which such Required Equity Letter of Credit is scheduled to
expire and a substitute Required Equity Letter of Credit is not provided at
least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding
Required Equity Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (3) upon receipt of
notice from the issuing bank that such Required Equity Letter of Credit will
be terminated and a substitute Required Equity Letter of Credit is not
provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the
outstanding Required Equity Letter of Credit is scheduled to be terminated;
or (4) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing any Required
Equity Letter of Credit shall cease to be an

 

112

 

Approved Bank and within ten (10) Business Days after Lender notifies
Borrowers in writing of such circumstance, Borrowers shall fail to deliver
to Lender a substitute Required Equity Letter of Credit issued by an
Approved Bank or deposit with Lender into the Construction Loan Reserve
Account, cash in an amount equal to the Required Equity Letter of Credit
then in effect less any amounts previously drawn thereunder or converted
with respect thereto (unless such amounts were previously drawn or converted
as a result of any event specified in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4)
above or as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to an Event of
Default that has occurred and is continuing). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw upon
any Required Equity Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event
specified in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) above and shall not
be liable for any losses sustained by Borrowers due to the insolvency of the
bank issuing any such Required Equity Letter of Credit if Lender has not
drawn upon such Required Equity Letter of Credit.

(D) With respect to any Required Equity Letter of Credit permitted to
be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) and/or Section
3.12 hereof, instead of delivering separate Required Equity Letters of
Credit, Borrowers shall have the right, at any time, to deliver a
replacement Required Equity Letter of Credit in an amount which reflects the
aggregate amount of the separate Required Equity Letters of Credit then in
effect and/or then desired by Borrowers to be in effect and, upon delivery
of any such replacement Required Equity Letter of Credit, Lender shall
promptly return to Borrowers that/those previously issued Required Equity
Letter(s) of Credit the amount of which has been included in such
replacement Required Equity Letter of Credit.

(e) Shortfalls. Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender
that no Shortfall shall then exist.

Orders entered into since the last Construction Loan Advance and, with respect to Change Orders,
that require Lender’s approval pursuant to Section 3.15 hereof.

(g) Certification Regarding Chattels. Lender shall have received, at Borrowers’
expense, a search of the public records that, subject to Section 3.11 hereof and the
Permitted Encumbrances, discloses no conditional sales contracts, chattel mortgages, leases of
personalty, financing statements or title retention agreements which affect any of the Properties.

for the purchase of materials or FF&E, the applicable Draw Request shall be accompanied by (i) a
copy of the executed contract, subcontract or purchase order which

 

116

 

requires such deposit, which contract or subcontract either (A) shall have been approved by
Lender in its reasonable judgment prior to execution if it is a Major Contract, or (B) shall
contain a deposit which is customary for similar materials or FF&E, as applicable, in similar
projects as the Project (or such deposit is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender), and (ii) an
invoice for payment of such deposit from the applicable contractor or subcontractor. Additionally,
Borrowers shall not have outstanding at any one time aggregate deposits exceeding $5,000,000.00
(Lender agreeing that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an increase of such limit),
it being acknowledged and agreed by Lender and Borrowers that once a deposit is used to purchase
materials or FF&E and Borrowers receive a bill of sale with respect thereto and/or the same are
delivered on-site to the Hotel/Casino Property or the Adjacent Property, the amount thereof shall

Lender shall make the Construction Loan Advance on the Requested Disbursement Date. Each

the option of Lender, as provided in Section 3.7 hereof. All proceeds of all Construction
Loan Advances shall be used by Borrowers only for the purposes for which such Construction Loan
Advances were made. Borrowers shall not commingle such funds with other funds of Borrowers.

Section 3.7. Direct Advances to Third Parties. Lender may make any or all
Construction Loan Advances to (a) General Contractor or any Major Contractor, as applicable, for
construction expenses which shall theretofore have been approved by Lender and for which Borrowers
shall have failed to make payment after receipt by Borrowers of such applicable Construction Loan
Advance, (b) the Architect, to pay its fees to the extent funds are allocated thereto in the Loan
Budget and for which Borrowers shall have failed to make payment after receipt by Borrowers of such

Lender’s counsel, to pay its fees, (e) the Administrative Agent, to pay its Administrative Agent

shall have failed to reimburse Lender for said expenses beyond any grace periods provided for said
reimbursement under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and/or (iii) following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any other sums due to Lender under
the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all to the extent that the same are
not paid by the respective due dates thereof (including any applicable grace periods), and in each
case subject to the approval of Lender, and (g) any other Person to whom Lender determines payment
is due to the extent provided in the Loan Budget, after written notice to Borrowers and Borrowers
failure to make such payment within ten (10) Business Days following such notice, subject to
Borrowers’ right to dispute any such payment in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by Borrowers shall, and hereby does, constitute an
irrevocable authorization to so advance the proceeds of the Construction Loan directly to any such
Persons described in the foregoing clauses (a) — (g), above, as amounts become due and
payable to them hereunder. No further authorization from Borrowers or any other Person shall be
necessary to warrant such direct Construction Loan Advances as provided in this Section
3.7, and all such

 

117

 

Construction Loan Advances shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other applicable Loan
Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrowers.

Section 3.8. Construction Loan Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Construction
Loan Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to make
further Construction Loan Advances nor, in the event Borrowers are unable to satisfy any such
condition, which inability also constitutes a Default or an Event of Default, shall any
Construction Loan Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such
inability (following any applicable notice and grace period) to be an Event of Default hereunder.

Section 3.9. Cost Overruns; Reallocation of Line Items.

(a) Subject to Borrowers’ rights to reallocate (i) among Line Item Components as provided in
this Section 3.9, (ii) from Contingency Line Items as provided in Section 3.10
hereof, and (iii) with respect to Change Orders as provided in Section 3.15 hereof, if, at
any time after the date of the Initial Construction Loan Advance, Borrowers become aware of any
change in the Project Costs that will materially increase a category or Line Item reflected in the
Loan Budget, Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for
Lender’s and the Construction Consultant’s approval a revised Loan Budget; provided,
however, that only those Line Items and components which are proposed to be changed shall
be subject to Lender’s and the Construction Consultant’s approval at that time. Any reallocation
of any category or Line Items in the Loan Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject
to Lender’s approval in its reasonable discretion, subject to Borrowers’ rights under Section
3.15 hereof with respect to Change Orders that do not require Lender’s approval. Lender shall
have no obligation to make any further Construction Loan Advances unless and until the proposed
changes to the Loan Budget so submitted by Borrowers are approved by Lender in its reasonable
discretion.

(b) Borrowers, without the consent of Lender but after notice to Lender, may reallocate to any
Line Item all or any portion of any Cost Savings not previously reallocated, provided that
(i) no single Line Item is increased by more than ten percent (10%), and (ii) except as provided in
Section 3.10(b) hereof, under no circumstances shall Borrowers be entitled to reallocate
any amount allocated to any Contingency Line Item without Lender’s approval, to be granted or
withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. All other reallocations of Cost Savings shall
require Lender’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon any such reallocation of all
or any portion of any such Cost Savings to any Line Item, the amount of such Cost Savings shall no
longer be deemed “Cost Savings” hereunder, but shall be deemed to be part of the Line Item to which
such amount was reallocated and the Loan Budget shall be deemed automatically amended without
further action. As used in this Agreement, “Cost Savings” shall mean and be determined as follows:

(A) If Lender reasonably determines that any component of the
construction of the Project which is the subject of a Line Item (a “Line
Item Component”) has been completed without the expenditure by Borrowers of
the entire amount allocated in the Loan Budget to such Line Item Component,
and all Major Contractors have been paid in full for

 

118

 

work performed and materials provided with respect to such Line Item
Component, the difference between the amount of such Line Item Component in
the Loan Budget and the amount so expended for such Line Item Component
shall be deemed to be a “Cost Savings”; or

(B) If prior to the completion of the Line Item Component (other than
the Line Item for interest or any Contingency Line Item), Borrowers shall
demonstrate to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that upon completion of such
Line Item Component a Cost Savings will be realized pursuant to the
foregoing clause (i) with respect to such Line Item Component, the
amount of such Cost Savings which is demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable
satisfaction shall also be deemed to be a “Cost Savings”. Lender shall not
be required to allow such a reallocation with respect to a Line Item
constituting Hard Costs unless (1) such Line Item has a firm or guaranteed
maximum price or fixed price contract or sub-contract in place, (2) the work
has commenced and is proceeding substantially in accordance with the
Construction Schedule, and (3) the Construction Consultant is satisfied with
said contract or sub-contract, including, without limitation, with regard to
the scope of said contract or sub-contract.

(c) New Line Items may not be created without Lender’s prior written consent in its reasonable
discretion and, if created with Lender’s consent, no portion of any Contingency Line Item shall be
reallocated to any such new Line Item, except as provided in Section 3.10 hereof. To the
extent not paid for by reallocating Cost Savings among Line Items or by reallocating any
Contingency Line Item in accordance with Section 3.10 hereof, new Line Items must be paid
for by Borrowers from sources other than the Loan.

Section 3.10. Contingency Reallocations.

(a) The amounts allocated as Contingency (Hard Costs) or Contingency (Soft Costs) in the Loan
Budget and that are intended to cover the eventuality of unforeseen costs or cost overruns (the
“Contingency Line Items”) shall be disbursed from time to time upon request by Borrowers and,
subject to Section 3.10(b) below, upon approval by Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld,
and may be used only for appropriate, as applicable, Hard Costs of, or Soft Costs associated with,
the Project. Any expenditure of Contingency (Hard Costs) for Soft Costs or Contingency (Soft
Costs) for Hard Costs shall be prohibited unless expressly approved by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion.

(b) Borrowers, without the consent of Lender but after notice to Lender, may reallocate up to
ten percent (10%) of the Contingency (Hard Costs) to any Hard Cost Line Item and/or may reallocate
up to ten percent (10%) of the Contingency (Soft Costs) to any Soft Cost Line Item,
provided that, in either event, (i) no single Line Item is increased by more than ten
percent (10%) in connection with this or any prior reallocation of any Contingency Line Item and
(ii) after giving effect to any such reallocation, (A) the sum of the aggregate of all amounts so
reallocated and any amounts previously reallocated from the Contingency (Hard Costs) (including,
without limitation, amounts previously reallocated to satisfy the amount of

 

119

 

the contingency required to be maintained under the General Contract) or Contingency (Soft
Costs), as applicable, when added to the remaining amount of the Contingency (Hard Costs) or
Contingency (Soft Costs), as applicable, shall be equal to or greater than (y) in the instance of a
reallocation of amounts from the Contingency (Hard Costs), at least 10% of the total Hard Costs set
forth in the Loan Budget (including estimated and incurred Hard Costs) and (z) in the instance of a
reallocation of amounts from the Contingency (Soft Costs), at least 5% of the total Soft Costs set
forth in the Loan Budget (including such estimated and incurred Soft Costs) and (B) the remaining
amount of the Contingency (Hard Costs) shall be equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the
difference between (y) the total Project Costs estimated in the Loan Budget (including estimated or
incurred Project Costs) less (z) any Project Costs actually incurred (provided that, in the
event such Project Costs identified in this clause (z) relate to items over which Lender and/or
Construction Consultant has consent rights hereunder, such Project Costs shall have been approved
by Lender and/or Construction Consultant in accordance with the terms hereof). All other
reallocations of any Contingency shall require Lender’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and without limiting Lender’s consent rights relative to
reallocations of the Contingency (Hard Costs) and the Contingency (Soft Costs)), Lender expressly
acknowledges that the General Contractor shall have the right to apply contingency under the
General Contract as permitted thereunder. Upon any such reallocation of all or any portion of any
Contingency to any Line Item, the amount of such Contingency shall no longer be deemed
“Contingency” hereunder, but shall be deemed to be part of the Line Item to which such amount was
reallocated. In giving or withholding its approval to any reallocation of any Contingency, Lender
may take into account the then current state of completion of the Project, any existing cost
overruns and any potential cost overruns as may then be reasonably foreseen or reasonably
anticipated by Lender.

Section 3.11. Stored Materials. Lender shall not be required to authorize any
disbursement of funds for any materials, machinery or other Personal Property not yet incorporated
into the Project (the “Stored Materials”), unless the following conditions are satisfied or waived
in writing by Lender:

(a) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender bills of sale or other evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Lender of the cost of, and, subject to the payment therefor, Borrowers’ title in and to, such
Stored Materials;

(b) The Stored Materials are identified to the Hotel/Casino Property or the Adjacent Property
and Borrowers, are segregated so as to adequately give notice to all third parties of Borrowers’
title in and to such materials, and are components in substantially final form ready for
incorporation into the Project;

(c) The Stored Materials are stored at the Hotel/Casino Property or the Adjacent Property or
at such other third party owned and operated site as Lender shall reasonably approve (which shall
specifically exclude any site located outside of the continental United States) and are protected
against theft and damage in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, if requested by
Lender, storage in a bonded warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada;

(d) The Stored Materials will be paid for in full with the funds to be disbursed and all Lien
rights or claims of the supplier will be released upon full payment;

 

120

 

(e) Lender has or will have upon payment with disbursed funds a perfected, first priority
security interest in the Stored Materials;

(f) The Stored Materials are insured for an amount equal to their replacement costs in
accordance with Section 6.1 hereof;

(g) The aggregate cost of Stored Materials to be stored at the Hotel/Casino Property and/or
the Adjacent Property at any one time shall not exceed $10,000,000.00; and

(h) The aggregate cost of Stored Materials to be stored off-site from the Hotel/Casino
Property and the Adjacent Property at any one time shall not exceed $20,000,000.00.

Section 3.12. Loan Balancing and Shortfalls.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time or from time to
time during the term of this Agreement, Lender shall reasonably determine that there exists any
Shortfall, Lender shall deliver notice of such determination to Borrowers and thereafter until such
Shortfall no longer exists, Lender will not be obligated to make any Construction Loan Advances
(but may or may not, in its sole discretion, make the Remaining Construction Loan Advance), and,
within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice of determination, Borrowers shall take any one of,
or a combination of, the following actions: (i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to the
Shortfall (such deposited funds, the “Shortfall Funds”), (ii) deliver a Required Equity Letter of
Credit in the amount of the Shortfall, or (iii) make one or more payments on account of Hard Costs
and/or Soft Costs until the Shortfall has been reduced to zero and deliver to Lender reasonably
satisfactory evidence thereof.

(b) Any payment of Shortfall Funds made to Lender pursuant to Section 3.12(a)(i)
hereof shall be deposited into an account with Lender (the “Shortfall Account”). Provided no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds held in the Shortfall Account will be advanced
by Lender to Borrowers as though such funds were proceeds of the Construction Loan and subject to
all of the conditions with respect thereto set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and/or
3.4 hereof, as applicable, prior to any further Construction Loan Advances. Until so
advanced to Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3 and/or 3.4
hereof, as applicable, all such Shortfall Funds on deposit in the Shortfall Account shall be held
as cash collateral and additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations and shall
constitute a Reserve Fund in which Lender shall have a Lien and security interest pursuant to the
provisions of Section 7.8 hereof.

(c) Upon the taking of any of the actions contemplated under Section 3.12(a)
hereof to cure any Shortfall, such Shortfall shall be deemed to no longer exist for the purposes of
this Agreement.

Section 3.13. Quality of Work. No Construction Loan Advance or any portion thereof
shall be made with respect to materially defective work or to any Trade Contractor that has
performed work that is materially defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by the report
of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of any Construction

 

121

 

Loan Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender reasonably believes it advisable to do
so, and all such Construction Loan Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made
pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.14. Imported Materials. No Construction Loan Advance or any portion thereof
shall be made with respect to any materials imported from outside the domestic United States unless
and until such materials clear United States customs and are either incorporated in the Project or
stored in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 hereof.

Section 3.15. Approval of Change Orders. Except as provided in this Section
3.15, Borrowers will not amend, alter or change (pursuant to Change Order, amendment or
otherwise) the Plans and Specifications, the Loan Budget or any Major Contract unless the same
shall have been approved in advance in writing by Lender, by all applicable Governmental
Authorities and by each surety under the Payment and Performance Bonds (if required thereunder).
Borrowers will provide to Lender upon execution, copies of approved Change Orders with respect to
any Major Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall be allowed to make changes in
the Plans and Specifications without the consent of Lender upon and subject to all of the following
conditions and requirements:

(a) The Change Order is not a Material Change Order;

(b) Intentionally Deleted;

(c) Such proposed Change Order, together with all other Change Orders theretofore entered into
with respect to the Project, will not increase the guaranteed maximum price of any Major Contract
in excess of $2,500,000.00 over the original amount;

(d) Such proposed Change Order will not cause any Line Item in the Loan Budget to be exceeded
(after taking into account use of the Contingency Line Items to the extent permitted under
Section 3.10 hereof, reallocations under Section 3.9 hereof and any other
reallocations approved by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion), unless Borrowers eliminate
the Shortfall caused thereby in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.12 hereof;

(e) Such proposed Change Order, together with all other Changes Orders in the aggregate, shall
not, in any material fashion, alter or change (i) any structural components, construction design,
layout, scope and/or square footage of the Project, and/or (ii) the structural integrity, utility,
quality of materials and/or asset quality of the Project;

(f) Such proposed Change Order, together with all other Changes Orders in the aggregate, shall
not result in any material adverse differences in the Construction Schedule submitted to and
approved by Lender;

(g) With respect to any Change Order which does not satisfy one or more of the foregoing
conditions in this Section 3.15, or which pursuant to such provisions require Lender’s
approval, Borrower shall have submitted to Lender and the Construction Consultant, and the
applicable Major Contractors and/or other Trade Contractors, the requested change, together with
changes in the Plans and Specifications necessary to accomplish such change, a certificate of the
Architect in regard to same, and a Change Order to the applicable

 

122

 

Trade Contractor reflecting such change; and Lender shall have received the approval of such
change by the Construction Consultant, and the approved and signed Change Order from the applicable
Trade Contractor reflecting the increase in cost of construction of the Project and/or the
extension of time for completion of the work to be performed under the applicable Major Contract or
other contract or subcontract with a Trade Contractor, and Borrowers shall have received (i)
Lender’s written approval thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) in
the event of a Material Change Order relating to a change in the design of the Project, First
Mezzanine Lender’s approval thereof, which pursuant to the terms of the First Mezzanine Loan
Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

(h) If a Change Order is permitted without Lender’s approval as provided in this Section
3.15 or is approved by Lender as required by this Section 3.15, then the Loan Budget
shall be deemed amended by such Change Order and all references to the Loan Budget contained in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Loan Budget as so
amended.

Section 3.16. Construction Covenants.

(a) Intentionally Deleted.

(b) General Contract. The construction of the Project shall be managed by the General
Contractor pursuant to the General Contract. The General Contractor and the General Contract shall
be subject to approval by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Borrowers shall (i) use
commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the General Contract, (ii) waive none of the material
obligations of any of the parties thereunder, (iii) do no act which would relieve the General
Contractor from its material obligations thereunder, and (iv) make no material amendment to or
Change Order under the General Contract, except as permitted under Section 3.15 hereof,
without the prior approval of Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(c) Architect’s Contract. Borrowers shall (i) enforce the Architect’s Contract, (ii)
waive none of the material obligations of the Architect thereunder, (iii) do no act which would
relieve the Architect from its material obligations under the Architect’s Contract, and (iv) make
no material amendment to or Change Order under the Architect’s Contract, except as permitted under
Section 3.15 hereof, without the prior approval of Lender in its reasonable discretion.

(d) Insurance. In addition to maintaining the Policies required under Section
6.1 hereof, prior to the commencement of any construction on the Project (including any
demolition or site work), Borrowers shall also furnish Lender with evidence or certificates from
insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Lender indicating that the Architect and the Major
Contractors responsible for the design and/or construction of the Project are covered by
professional liability insurance or other liability insurance, as applicable, as required by the
applicable Architect’s Contract or Major Contract, as applicable, approved by Lender.

(e) Application of Construction Loan Proceeds. Borrowers shall use the proceeds of
the Construction Loan and the Third Mezzanine Construction Funds solely and

 

123

 

exclusively in accordance with the Loan Budget that shall not be subject to change, except as
permitted hereby.

(f) Project Costs. Borrower shall promptly pay when due all Project Costs, unless and
to the extent any such Project Cost is the subject of a good faith dispute; provided,
however, that in such event (i) Borrowers shall diligently pursue resolution of such
dispute, and (ii) to the extent applicable, Borrowers shall be contesting such Project Cost in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 hereof or Section 3.6(b)
of the Mortgage.

(g) Completion of Construction. Subject to Lender’s obligation to continue to fund
the Construction Loan as and to the extent set forth in this Agreement, Borrowers shall diligently
pursue construction of the entire Project to completion and obtain one or more Certificates of
Occupancy (and to the extent the same are conditional or require performance by Borrowers,
Borrowers shall diligently satisfy all conditions to the issuance of, and/or diligently perform all
obligations required for the continued validity of, the same) for the Project and individual
leasable space therein, if required by law, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications
(subject to Change Orders thereto permitted under Section 3.15 hereof) and in compliance
with all restrictions, covenants and easements affecting the Properties, all applicable Legal
Requirements and all Governmental Approvals, in each case, in all material respects, and with all
terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, free from any Liens (other than Permitted
Encumbrances), claims or assessments (actual or contingent) asserted against any of the Properties
for any material, labor or other items furnished in connection therewith unless (i) bonded and
removed as a Lien on the affected Property or (ii) being contested in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage. Reasonable evidence of satisfactory compliance with
the foregoing shall be furnished by Borrowers to Lender upon Final Completion. In addition, if any
such Certificate of Occupancy or other Governmental Approvals are temporary in nature, Borrowers
shall diligently pursue procuring final Certificates of Occupancy and/or Governmental Approvals, as
applicable.

(h) Inspection of Property. Borrowers shall permit Lender, the Construction
Consultant and their respective representatives, upon reasonable advance notice (which may be given
verbally) during business hours when possible, to enter upon any Property, inspect the progress of
the Project and all materials to be used in the construction thereof and to examine the Plans and
Specifications which are or may be kept at the construction site at all reasonable times and with
reasonable advance written notice (which may be given verbally) and will cooperate, and use
reasonable efforts to cause the General Contractor and the Major Contractors to cooperate, with the
Construction Consultant to enable him/her to perform his/her functions hereunder.

(i) Construction Consultant. Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the Construction
Consultant has been retained by Lender, at the sole expense of Borrowers, to act as a consultant
and only as a consultant to Lender in connection with the construction of the Project and has no
duty to Borrowers, (ii) the Construction Consultant shall in no event have any power or authority
to give any approval or consent or to do any other act or thing which is binding upon Lender, (iii)
Lender reserves the right to make any and all decisions required to be made by Lender under this
Agreement and to give or refrain from giving any and all consents or approvals

 

124

 

required to be given by Lender under this Agreement and to accept or not accept any matter or
thing required to be accepted by Lender under this Agreement, and without being bound or limited in
any manner or under any circumstance whatsoever by any opinion expressed or not expressed, or
advice given or not given, or information, certificate or report provided or not provided, by the
Construction Consultant with respect thereto, (iv) Lender reserves the right in its sole and
absolute discretion to disregard or disagree, in whole or in part, with any opinion expressed,
advice given or information, certificate or report furnished or provided by the Construction
Consultant to Lender or any other Person or party, and (v) Lender reserves the right to replace the
Construction Consultant with another inspecting engineer at any time and without prior notice to or
approval by Borrowers (but Lender agrees to provide Borrowers with reasonably prompt notice of any
decision to change the Construction Consultant). Lender hereby advises Borrowers that it has
advised the Construction Consultant of the restrictions contained in this Section 3.16(i).
Construction Consultant shall perform the following services on behalf of Lender:

(i) review and advise Lender whether, in the opinion of the Construction Consultant, the Plans
and Specifications are satisfactory;

(ii) review Draw Requests, Advance Requests and Change Orders submitted by Borrowers; and

(iii) make periodic inspections (approximately at the date of each Draw Request) for the
purpose of assuring that construction of the Project to date is in substantial accordance with the
Plans and Specifications and to approve Borrowers’ then current Draw Request as being consistent
with Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, including, among other things, an opinion as to
whether a Shortfall exists at any time.

The reasonable fees of the Construction Consultant shall be paid by Borrowers within ten (10) days
after billing therefor and expenses incurred by Lender shall be reimbursed to Lender within ten
(10) days after request therefor, but neither Lender nor the Construction Consultant shall have any
liability to Borrowers on account of (1) the services performed by the Construction Consultant, (2)
any neglect or failure on the part of the Construction Consultant to properly perform its services,
or (3) any approval by the Construction Consultant of construction of the Project, except that
Construction Consultant shall be liable for any material physical damage to any Property caused
directly by the actions of Construction Consultant or any agent or employee thereof. Neither
Lender nor the Construction Consultant assumes any obligation to Borrowers or any other Person
concerning the quality of construction of the Project or the absence therefrom of defects.

(j) Correction of Defects. Borrowers shall promptly correct all defects in the
Project or any departure from the Plans and Specifications not approved by Lender to the extent
required hereunder unless any such departure is required under applicable Legal Requirements.
Borrowers agree that the advance of any proceeds of the Construction Loan, whether before or after
such defects or departures from the Plans and Specifications are discovered by, or brought to the
attention of, Lender, shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require compliance with
this covenant. Whether there exists a defect in the Project or a departure from the Plans and
Specifications shall be reasonably determined by the Architect and

 

125

 

the Construction Consultant or, if the Architect and the Construction Consultant cannot
reasonably agree, then shall be determined pursuant to the most expedited form of arbitration
available for such disagreement under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, such
arbitration to be held in New York, New York.

(k) Books and Records. Borrowers shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and
maintained, detailed, complete and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all items of
income and expense of Borrowers in connection with the construction of the Project and, upon the
request of Lender, shall make such books, records and accounts available to Lender for inspection
or independent audit at reasonable times upon reasonable advance written notice to Borrowers. Any
independent audit conducted hereunder shall be at Lender’s expense unless such audit shall uncover
a material error in statements previously delivered to Lender, in which case Borrowers shall pay
all reasonable costs related thereto. Lender hereby agrees to keep, and to use reasonable efforts
to cause its employees and consultants to keep, any information acquired hereby confidential unless
already known to the general public or as required by law.

(l) Financing Publicity. Borrowers shall permit Lender to obtain publicity in
connection with the construction of the Project through press releases and participation in such
events as ground-breaking and opening ceremonies, and to give Lender ample advance notice of such
events and to give Lender such assistance as is reasonable in connection with obtaining such
publicity as Lender may reasonably request.

(m) Default Notice or Notice of Lien. Borrowers shall notify Lender promptly, and in
writing, if any Borrower receives any written default notice or notice of Lien from any Trade
Contractor.

(n) Further Assurance of Title. If at any time Lender has reason to believe in its
reasonable opinion that any Construction Loan Advance is not secured or will or may not be secured
by the Mortgage as a Lien on the Properties (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances), then
Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender, do all things and matters
necessary (including execution and delivery to Lender of all further documents and performance of
all other acts which Lender reasonably deems necessary or appropriate) to assure to the reasonable
satisfaction of Lender that any Construction Loan Advances previously made hereunder or to be made
hereunder are secured or will be secured by the Mortgage (subject only to the Permitted
Encumbrances). Lender, at Lender’s option, may decline to make further Construction Loan Advances
hereunder until Lender has received such assurance.

Section 3.17. Intentionally Deleted.

Section 3.18. Work at Adjacent Property.

(a) Borrowers shall notify and reasonably consult with Lender regarding any work to be
undertaken at or on the Adjacent Property and shall conduct all work in accordance with all Legal
Requirements and any applicable O&M Agreement.

 

126

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document, (i) Borrowers shall not commence demolition of any building on the Adjacent Property,
whether such demolition is to be funded out of any Borrower’s own funds, out of the Initial
Renovation Reserve Fund, out of a Construction Loan Advance or otherwise, unless and until
Borrowers have obtained, at their sole cost and expense, and delivered a copy to Lender of, an
asbestos survey with respect to the buildings to be demolished, prepared by a firm reasonably
acceptable to Lender, that complies with the requirements of the EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency
Response Act, 15 U.S.C. 2641 et seq. promulgated at 40 CFR 763 (an “Asbestos
Survey”), and (ii) if any such Asbestos Survey discloses the presence of asbestos and/or any
asbestos-containing material, Borrowers, at their sole cost and expense, shall cause all demolition
activities to comply with the requirements of the EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants promulgated at 40 CFR Part 61 for asbestos-containing materials.

Section 3.19. Administrative Agent.

3.19.1. Appointment of Administrative Agent. At all times throughout the term
of the Loan, including any Extension Terms, there shall be an administrative agent to
administer the Loan and the Advances thereunder (the “Administrative Agent”). Trimont Real
Estate Advisors (“Trimont”) shall be the Administrative Agent as of the date hereof, but
Lender shall have the right, from time to time, without the consent of any Borrower but upon
written notice to Borrowers, to designate a replacement Administrative Agent, who may or may
not own an interest in the Loan. Upon notice to Borrowers of the identity of a replacement
Administrative Agent for Trimont or any subsequent replacement Administrative Agent and the
address(es) for notice to such replacement Administrative Agent, Borrowers thereafter shall
copy such replacement Administrative Agent on all Notices sent to Lender.

3.19.2. Responsibilities of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall have such responsibilities as shall be delegated by Lender to the Administrative Agent
in a separate agreement between them; provided, however, that upon notice to
Borrowers from Lender as to the identity of the Administrative Agent, such identified
Administrative Agent shall have the right to send notices on behalf of Lender upon which
Borrowers may rely. The Administrative Agent shall maintain, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of Borrowers, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and principal portion of the Loan owing to each Lender. The entries in the register
shall be conclusive, and the Administrative Agent, Borrowers and any Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for
all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment or transfer of any interest in the Loan
shall be effective only upon proper entries with respect thereto being made in the register.

3.19.3. Non-Liability of Administrative Agent and Lender. Each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that with respect to each of Lender and the Administrative Agent
carrying out its responsibilities hereunder and otherwise with respect to the Loan:

 

127

 

(a) any inspections of the construction of the Project made by or through the Administrative
Agent or Lender are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrowers are not entitled
to rely upon the same with respect to the quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or
workmanship, conformity to the Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise;
Borrowers shall make their own inspections of such construction to determine that the quality of
the Project and all other requirements of such construction are being performed in a manner
satisfactory to Borrowers and in conformity with the Plans and Specifications and all other
requirements; and Borrowers shall immediately notify Lender, in writing, should the same not be in
conformity in all material respects with the Plans and Specifications and all other requirements
hereunder;

(b) by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given
to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, including any certificate, statement of profit and loss
or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, lease or insurance policy, neither the
Administrative Agent nor Lender shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency,
legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof
and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone
with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or Lender;

(c) neither the Administrative Agent nor Lender undertake nor assume any responsibility or
duty to Borrowers to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrowers of
any matter in connection with any of the Properties, including, without limitation, matters
relating to the quality, adequacy or suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii)
architects, contractors, subcontractors and materialmen employed or utilized in connection with the
construction of the Project, or the workmanship of or the materials used by any of them, or (iii)
the progress or course of construction and its conformity or nonconformity with the Plans and
Specifications; and Borrowers shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such
matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to
Borrowers by the Administrative Agent or Lender in connection with such matters is for the
protection of the Administrative Agent and/or Lender only and neither Borrowers nor any third party
is entitled to rely thereon;

(d) neither the Administrative Agent nor Lender owe any duty of care to protect Borrowers
against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or construction; and

(e) neither the Administrative Agent nor Lender shall be directly or indirectly liable or
responsible for any loss, claim, cause of action, liability, indebtedness, damage or injury of any
kind or character to any Person or property arising from any construction on, or occupancy or use
of, any of the Properties, including, without limitation, any loss, claim, cause of action,
liability, indebtedness, damage or injury caused by, or arising from: (i) any defect in any
building, structure, grading, fill, landscaping or other improvements thereon or in any on-site or
off-site improvement or other facility therein or thereon; (ii) any act or omission of any
Borrower, the parties comprising any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s agents, employees,
independent contractors, licensees or invitees; (iii) any accident in or on any of the Properties
or any fire, flood or other casualty or hazard thereon; (iv) the failure of any

 

128

 

Borrower or any of any Borrower’s licensees, employees, invitees, agents, independent
contractors or other representatives to maintain any of the Properties in a safe condition; and/or
(v) any nuisance made or suffered on any part of any Property, in each of the foregoing instances,
except to the extent directly resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s fraud, willful
misconduct or gross negligence (but Lender shall be solely liable for its fraud, willful misconduct
or gross negligence and the Administrative Agent shall be solely liable for its fraud, willful
misconduct or gross negligence).

3.19.4. Administrative Agent Fee. On the Closing Date and on the first Payment
Date occurring in each calendar quarter thereafter, Borrower shall pay the Administrative
Agent the sum of $50,000.00 in respect of the Administrative Agent Fee.

Section 3.20. Lender’s Right to Make Construction Loan Advance to Pay Monthly
Interest. From and after any Payment Date following the Initial Construction Loan Advance upon
which the Interest Reserve Fund is in an insufficient amount to pay the Aggregate Monthly Interest
Payment due on such Payment Date, if Borrowers fail to pay, as and when due on any Payment Date,
the Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest Payment and the Construction Loan Monthly Interest
Payment in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation),
in its sole and absolute discretion, without the necessity of notifying, or obtaining the approval
of, any Borrower or any other Person, and without any Borrower’s specific request, to advance a
portion of the Construction Loan necessary to pay the Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest
Payment and the Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment then due (a “Lender Monthly Interest
Advance”). With respect to the foregoing, Borrowers and Lender expressly acknowledge and agree
that (i) the fact that Lender makes a Lender Monthly Interest Advance shall not relieve Borrowers,
First Mezzanine Borrowers, Second Mezzanine Borrowers and Third Mezzanine Borrowers from the
obligation to make all future Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest Payments, Construction Loan
Monthly Interest Payments, First Mezzanine Monthly Interest Payments, Second Mezzanine Monthly
Interest Payments and Third Mezzanine Monthly Interest Payments, as applicable, (ii) the fact that
Lender makes a Lender Monthly Interest Advance in any instance shall not obligate Lender to make
any subsequent Lender Monthly Interest Advance in the same or in any other instance, and (iii) a
Lender Monthly Interest Advance, when made, shall constitute a Construction Loan Advance for all
purposes under this Agreement and shall constitute one of the two (2) Construction Loan Advances
available to Borrowers for the subsequent thirty (30) days.

Section 3.21. Construction Loan Advances of Required Equity Amount. Lender and
Borrowers acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, Lender has funded $467,443,347.38 in
Construction Loan Advances. Subject to Lender’s right to fund the Remaining Construction Loan
Advance in accordance with Section 3.1(d) hereof, (a) Lender and Borrowers have agreed that
Lender shall not fund any further Construction Loan Advances until the Required Equity Amount and
any Subsequent Required Equity Amounts, as and to the extent required under this Agreement, have
been fully funded in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3.21 (such
time being referred to herein as the “Borrower Advance Date”) and (b) from and after the Borrower
Advance Date, Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the making of
Construction Loan Advances (including, without limitation, the delivery of any Subsequent Required
Equity Amounts, as and to the extent required under this Agreement), advance the remainder of the
Construction Loan to Borrowers in accordance with and subject to

 

129

 

the terms of this Agreement. Until the Borrower Advance Date, the following shall apply to
each advance of funds on account of the Required Equity Amount and/or any Subsequent Required
Equity Amounts (and, for purposes of this Section 3.21 only, each funding of the Required
Equity Amount in accordance with the terms hereof shall be considered a “Construction Loan Advance”
solely for the purposes of determining whether the conditions to the funding of any such amount
have been satisfied as set forth in this Section 3.21 and for no other purpose under this
Agreement):

(a) Conditions to Advances.

(i) Satisfaction of Standard Conditions. Borrowers shall satisfy and/or cause to be
satisfied the conditions to such Construction Loan Advance set forth in Section 3.3 (other
than that relating to title endorsements) and, if applicable, 3.4 hereof.

(ii) Deposit of Funds. Not later than seven (7) days (or the next succeeding Business
Day if such seventh (7th) day is not a Business Day) prior to the Requested Disbursement Date,
Borrowers shall deliver to Lender, for deposit into the Construction Loan Reserve Account, funds in
the amount of the requested Construction Loan Advance.

(iii) Letter of Credit Reduction Request. Borrowers’ Advance Request shall include a
Letter of Credit Reduction Notice with the amount of the requested Construction Loan Advance and
any other required information (other than Lender’s signature) filled in.

(b) Funding Construction Loan Advances. Subject to the satisfaction of each of the
foregoing conditions, Lender shall fund the applicable Construction Loan Advance from the funds on
deposit in the Construction Loan Reserve Account and otherwise in accordance with all of the terms
of this Article III.

(c) Delivery of Letter of Credit Reduction Notice. Promptly following the funding of
the applicable Construction Loan Advance from the Construction Loan Reserve Account, Lender shall
deliver or cause Servicer or the Administrative Agent to deliver, the Letter of Credit Reduction
Notice to the applicable issuing bank; provided, however, that none of Lender,
Servicer or the Administrative Agent shall be liable to Borrowers for any delay in so delivering
any such Letter of Credit Reduction Notice, other than any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs and
damages resulting from their willful misconduct or fraud; and, provided, further,
however, that Lender expressly acknowledges that upon Borrowers providing the funds to make
a particular Construction Loan Advance, Lender agrees never to seek to recover the amount of such
Construction Loan Advance in the event Lender shall ever draw down on any Required Equity Letter of
Credit and apply the proceeds thereof.

(d) Failure to Deliver Funds for the Construction Loan Reserve Account. With respect
to any Construction Loan Advance, in the event that Borrowers fail to deliver the applicable funds
for deposit in the Construction Loan Reserve Account not later than seven (7) days (or the next
succeeding Business Day if such seventh (7th) day is not a Business Day) prior to the Requested
Disbursement Date, Lender shall have the right at any time

 

130

 

thereafter, in its sole discretion, to draw down on such Required Equity Letter(s) of Credit
in its/their entirety, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrowers or any other Person other
than the issuing bank(s) of any such Required Equity Letter(s) of Credit, and to deposit the
proceeds thereof in the Construction Loan Reserve Account, following which, all further
Construction Loan Advances shall be funded in accordance with all of the terms of this Agreement
from the Construction Loan Reserve Account.

(e) Provisions of this Agreement Continue to Apply. Borrowers and Lender expressly
acknowledge and agree that the funding of any Construction Loan Advance in accordance with this
Section 3.21 shall not affect the other provisions of this Article 3, and
Borrowers, each Construction Loan Advance and the construction of the Project shall continue to be
governed by the provisions of this Article III.

Section 3.22. Intentionally Deleted.

Section 3.23. Release of Required Equity Letter of Credit(s) and Cost Savings to
Borrowers. Upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) Substantial Completion has
occurred; (ii) Borrower’s equity requirement set forth in Section 3.3(d) hereof remains
satisfied (provided, however, in order to meet such equity requirement, Borrower may make a
voluntary prepayment of the Loan in accordance with all of the terms of Section 2.4.1
hereof and to be applied as set forth in Section 2.4.3(a) hereof, with the Exit Fee payable
in connection therewith being determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8
hereof); and (iii) either (A) General Contractor has certified to Lender that all amounts due under
the General Contract (which shall include, without limitation, all work authorizations entered into
under the General Contract and all amounts payable by General Contractor to any subcontractor in
connection with the General Contract and/or any such work authorization) have been paid in full and
Borrowers have delivered lien waivers or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to Lender or
(B) Lender’s approval has been obtained, simultaneous with any draw specified in the following
sentence Lender shall return to Borrowers all Required Equity Letters of Credit then held by (or on
behalf of) Lender or the remaining proceeds thereof if Lender has previously drawn down on the
Required Equity Letters of Credit but not applied all of the proceeds thereof or evidenced thereby,
and Lender shall, at Borrowers’ expense, execute such documents and take such actions as Borrowers
shall reasonably request to evidence its release of the Required Equity Letters of Credit. Such
released Required Equity Letters of Credit shall be drawn in full and the proceeds thereof (or cash
in the amount equal to the face value of such released Required Equity Letters of Credit) shall be
deposited into the Interest Reserve Account, provided that in the event that the aggregate
Additional Interest Reserve Contributions deposited into the Interest Reserve Account under the
provisions of this sentence and/or any other provision of this Agreement total $8,000,000, then all
such proceeds (or all such remaining proceeds, as the case may be) shall instead be deposited into
the General Reserve Fund and not the Interest Reserve Account. Additionally, to the extent that
Borrowers are entitled to payment from General Contractor of any cost savings or unused contingency
amounts under the General Contract, Borrower shall have the right to receive the same from General
Contractor (as and to the extent provided in the General Contract) and any such amounts shall be
deposited into the Interest Reserve Account, provided that in the event that the aggregate
Additional Interest Reserve Contributions deposited into the Interest Reserve Account under the
provisions of this sentence and/or any other provision of this Agreement total $8,000,000, then all
such proceeds (or all such remaining

 

131

hereto:

(a) There is no action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation pending against such
Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor or, to such Borrower’s actual knowledge, pending against any
Property or the IP or, to such Borrower’s actual knowledge, threatened in writing against such
Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor or any Property or the IP in any court or by or before any other
Governmental Authority that would have a material adverse effect on (i) the business operations,
economic performance, assets, financial condition, equity, contingent liabilities, material
agreements or results of operations of such Borrower, HRHI, any Guarantor, any Property or the IP,
(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 under any Loan Document, (iii) the
ability of such Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its
obligations under each of the Loan Documents, or (iv) the value of, or cash flow from any Property

(b) There is no proceeding, investigation or disciplinary action (including, without
limitation, before any Gaming authority, under any Gaming Law or under any Gaming License or other
Operating Permit) pending or, to Borrowers’ 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 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 Borrower or any of their respective directors,
members, managers, officers, key personnel or Persons holding a five percent (5%) or greater direct
or indirect equity or economic interest in any Borrower. Additionally, there is no proceeding
(including, without limitation, before any Gaming Authority, under any Gaming Law or under any

writing that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Gaming License
or other Operating Permit by Gaming Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any officer, director,
employee or agent of any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower.

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 such Borrower or its Property or the IP, or such Borrower’s business, properties or
assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To the best of such Borrower’s
actual knowledge, such Borrower is not 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
Borrower or any of the Properties or the IP 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
Property or the IP is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (t) of the
definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b)
obligations under the Existing FF&E Leases, (c) obligations under the Loan

 

133

 

Documents, (d) obligations pursuant to its Management Agreement, and (e) as to Hotel/Casino
Borrower, obligations pursuant to the Liquor Management Agreement.

4.1.6. Title. Such 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 Loan Documents and the Liens created by
the Loan Documents. 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
such Borrower’s Property (as currently used) or Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loan. The
Mortgage has been properly recorded in the appropriate records and, together with the
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith,
has created and continues to create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the real
property portion of the Properties, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens
created by the Loan Documents, and (b) together with the filing of the required Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements and the proper recording of the Assignment of Leases,
perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all
personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case
subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. 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 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 Notes, 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 its 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 their 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
Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor, and none of any Borrower, 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 any Borrower, HRHI nor any Guarantor are contemplating
either the filing of a petition by it

 

134

 

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 it, 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 or the IP, (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 any Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor to
perform, in all material respects, its obligations under each of the Loan Documents.

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

4.1.10. Compliance. Except as set forth in the applicable Zoning Report, such
Borrowers 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 Borrower is in default or violation of any order, writ,
injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by
any Borrower 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 any act or omission affording
the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as
against any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers’
obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

4.1.11. Financial Information. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge, all
historical financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and
income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan
(i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent in
all material respects the financial condition of the Properties (and each Property) as of
the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent
certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with the Uniform System
of

 

135

 

Accounts and reconciled with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed
therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances and except as referred to or reflected in said
financial statements previously delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, no Borrower
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 any
Property or (a) the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a
standard at least equal to Comparable Hotel/Casinos, including, without limitation,
comparable food and beverage outlets and other amenities, and/or (b) the operation of the
Café Property and the Adjacent Property for a use or uses that is/are consistent with the
operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal to
Comparable Hotel/Casinos, which use may include, without limitation, expansion of the
Hotel/Casino Property, restaurants, retail and residential complexes (the “Permitted
Adjacent/Café Uses”). Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of any Borrower
or, to each Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, to the extent not prohibited by
the Merger Agreement, any Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

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

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

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

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

 

136

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

each Borrower’s actual knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other
assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any
contemplated improvements to any Property that may result in such special or other
assessments.

4.1.18. Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to and no
Restricted Party has 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 such 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.

4.1.19. No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments by Borrowers of
the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which
are presently outstanding.

4.1.20. Insurance. Borrowers have obtained and have delivered to Lender
certified copies of all Policies (or “Accord” certificates evidencing coverage thereof)
reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this
Agreement. No claims have been made under any such Policies, and no Person, including any
Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such
Policies.

amenities, and (b) the Café Property and the Adjacent Property as currently operated on the

(collectively, the “Operating Permits”), have been obtained and are

 

137

 

in full force and effect. Each Borrower shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept
and maintained, all Operating Permits necessary for the operation of (i) the Hotel/Casino
Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal to Comparable Hotel/Casinos, and

actual knowledge, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised

any of the responsibilities of any of the foregoing Named Knowledge Parties with respect to any of
the Properties, and the knowledge of no other Person shall be imputed to any of the Named Knowledge
Parties or any such other individuals, it being expressly represented and warranted to Lender by
Borrowers that it would be unlikely that any material fact regarding any of the Properties or

ARTICLE V.

COVENANTS OF BORROWERS

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

5.1.1. Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do
or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and
effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of
its business and comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to
such Borrower and its Property or the IP, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws.
There shall never be committed by any Borrower, and no Borrower shall 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 any Property or any part thereof or any monies
paid in performance of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the 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 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 Borrowers’ right to demolish the Improvements on the Adjacent
Property subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.18 hereof,
shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair in all material respects, and
from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the
Mortgage. Borrowers shall 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 this Agreement. Borrowers shall 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 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 such Borrower or its Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement,
provided that (a) no Event of Default, First Mezzanine Event of Default, Second
Mezzanine Event of Default or Third Mezzanine Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with
the provisions of any instrument to which such Borrower is subject and shall not constitute
a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all
applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither any Property nor any part thereof or
interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled
or lost; (d) such Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any
such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any
Legal Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal

 

148

 

Requirement against such Borrower and its Property; and (f) such Borrower shall 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 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 all Taxes and Other
Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part
thereof prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall begin to accrue
thereon; provided, however, Borrowers’ obligation to directly pay Taxes
shall be suspended for so long as Borrowers comply with the terms and provisions of
Section 7.2 hereof. Borrowers will 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 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, Borrowers shall not be required
to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by
Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrowers shall not suffer and shall
promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide reasonable security for) any Lien or
charge against any of the Properties, and shall 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 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, First
Mezzanine Event of Default, Second Mezzanine Event of Default or Third Mezzanine Event of
Default exists; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance
with the provisions of any other instrument to which such Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with
all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither any Property nor any part thereof
or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost; (d) such Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the
amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties
which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the
collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Property; and (f)
such Borrower shall 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 any
Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any imminent danger of the Lien of the
Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

 

149

 

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

5.1.4. Access to the Properties. Borrowers shall permit agents,
representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Properties or any part thereof at
reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice (which may be given verbally), subject to
the rights of tenants under their Leases (other than the Casino Component Lease).

5.1.5. Intentionally Deleted.

5.1.6. Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate
fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other
Governmental Authority which in any way materially affects the rights of Lender hereunder or
any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection
therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

5.1.7. Perform Loan Documents. Borrowers shall observe, perform and satisfy
all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall pay when due all costs,
fees and expenses to the extent required under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by,
or applicable to, any Borrower. Payment of the costs and expenses associated with any of
the foregoing shall be in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10.13 hereof.

5.1.8. Award and Insurance Benefits. Subject to the terms of Article
VI hereof, Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the
benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds to which Lender is entitled under the Loan
Documents and which is lawfully or equitably payable in connection with any Property, and
Lender shall be reimbursed for any actual, reasonable expenses incurred in connection
therewith (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrowers of the
expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting
any Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds or Awards.

5.1.9. Further Assurances. Borrowers shall, at Borrowers’ sole cost and
expense (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement):

 

150

 

(a) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and
other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect
the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrowers under the
Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require, including, without limitation, if permitted by
applicable law, the execution and delivery of all such writings necessary to transfer any Operating
Permits with respect to any Property into the name of Lender or its designee after the occurrence
of an Event of Default; and

(b) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances
for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.

5.1.10. Mortgage Taxes. Borrowers represent that as of the Closing Date
Borrowers have paid all state, county and municipal recording and all other taxes imposed
upon the execution and recordation of the Mortgage.

5.1.11. Financial Reporting. (a) Borrowers will keep and maintain or will
cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with the Uniform
System of Accounts and reconciled each year in accordance with GAAP (or such other

reflecting all of the financial affairs of each Borrower and all items of income and expense
in connection with the operation of each Property. Borrowers shall also keep and maintain
or will cause to be kept and maintained, on a cash accounting basis, proper and accurate
books and records reflecting the information contained in the Cash Profit and Loss
Statements. Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal
business hours upon reasonable notice (which may be verbal) to examine such books, records
and accounts (including without limitation the Cash Profit and Loss Statements) at the
office of any Borrower or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and
to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall pay any actual costs and
expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrowers’ accounting records with respect to the
Properties and the IP, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate
in the protection of Lender’s interest.

(b) Borrowers will furnish to Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days following
the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrowers, a complete copy of each Borrower’s, HRHI’s and each
Guarantor’s annual financial statements audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other
independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender (it being hereby understood
and agreed that BDO Seidman, LLP is acceptable to Lender) in accordance with the Uniform System of
Accounts (or, in the case of Guarantors, GAAP) and reconciled each year in accordance with GAAP (or
such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) covering the Properties for such Fiscal Year and
containing statements of profit and loss for Borrowers, HRHI, each Guarantor and each Property and
a balance sheet for Borrowers, HRHI and each Guarantor; provided, however, that in
the event that any Guarantor is not otherwise required to, and does not, cause to be prepared such
audited financial statements in the ordinary course of its business, it may deliver the unaudited
statements which are delivered to its

 

151

 

investors or otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of its business, accompanied by the
Officer’s Certificate required under subclause (B) below. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, the financial statements of Borrowers may be consolidated
with those of (1) HRHI for so long as (y) HRHI owns no other assets other than the ownership

condition and the results of operations for the Properties on a property-by-property basis and also
on an aggregate basis for all Properties for such Fiscal Year, and shall include, but not be
limited to, amounts representing annual Net Cash Flow, Net Operating Income, Gross Income from
Operations and Operating Expenses, in each of the foregoing instances on a combined basis for all
Properties as well as for each individual Property. Borrowers’ annual financial statements shall
be accompanied by (i) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and
expenses for the prior Fiscal Year, (ii) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or
other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, (iii) with respect
to the Hotel/Casino Property, occupancy statistics for such Property, (iv) a schedule reviewed by
such independent certified public accountant reconciling Net Operating Income to Net Cash Flow (the
“Net Cash Flow Schedule”), which shall itemize all adjustments made to Net Operating Income to
arrive at Net Cash Flow deemed material by such independent certified public accountant, (v) a Cash
Profit and Loss Statement (as defined below) annualized for the applicable prior Fiscal Year, which
Cash Profit and Loss Statement shall be prepared on a cash accounting basis, and (vi) an Officer’s
Certificate from each Borrower certifying that each annual financial statement presents fairly the
financial condition and the results of operations of such Borrower and the Properties being
reported upon and that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Uniform
System of Accounts and reconciled in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof whether there
exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a monetary Default or any Event of Default under
the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, any Borrower (including a specific
statement as to Borrowers’ compliance with Section 4.1.30 hereof), and if a monetary
Default or any Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and
the action then being taken to remedy the same. Each Guarantor’s annual financial statements shall
be accompanied by (A) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent
certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (B) an Officer’s Certificate
certifying that each annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the
results of operations of such Guarantor being reported upon and that such financial statements have

executed and delivered by, or applicable to, such Guarantor, and if a monetary Default or any Event
of Default exists, the nature thereof, the

 

152

 

period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same. HRHI’s
annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (I) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four”
accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender,
and (II) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that each annual financial statement presents fairly
the financial condition and the results of operations of HRHI being reported upon and that such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof whether
there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a monetary Default or any Event of Default
under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, HRHI, and if a monetary

after the end of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and on or before forty-five (45)
days after the end of each calendar quarter during the term of the Loan commencing with the first

in such month shall be furnished on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the

including any contributions to the Replacement Reserve Fund), each in substantially the form

(30) days following Lender’s reasonable written request, other information necessary and sufficient
to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of each Property during such
period in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and containing a comparison of budgeted income

and correct as of the date of such certificate, that there are no trade payables outstanding for
more than sixty (60) days and that there has been no change in the identity of the Independent
Directors or Independent Managers of any Borrower or, if such a change has occurred the identity of
any such replacement Independent Director or Independent Manager and a statement that such new
Independent Director or Independent Manager satisfies the requirements with respect thereto as set
forth in the definition of

 

153

 

“Independent Director” or “Independent Manager” herein. On or before forty-five (45) days
after the end of each calendar month, Borrowers also will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to
Lender, with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property, the most current Smith Travel Research Reports
or a locally available equivalent, if any, identified by Lender, then available to Borrowers
reflecting market penetration and relevant hotel properties competing with the Hotel/Casino
Property. In addition, Borrowers shall cause Guarantors to furnish, within sixty (60) days after
the end of each calendar quarter, certain financial statements in accordance with the terms of the
Closing Completion Guaranty, Construction Completion Guaranty, and/or Non-Recourse Guaranty, as
applicable.

(d) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an
Annual Budget not later than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year.

(e) In the event that any Borrower must incur any Extraordinary Expense, then such Borrower
shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary
Expense for Lender’s approval, provided that Borrowers shall be permitted to obtain disbursement of
funds for payment of Extraordinary Expenses prior to obtaining Lender approval thereof as and to
the extent provided under the provisions of Section 2.6.2(b)(iii) and Section 2.6.2(c)(iv) (further
provided that, inter alia, the same when combined with any disbursements made with respect to
Pre-Opening Expenses in such calendar month do not exceed $586,000 in the aggregate) but shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(h) 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.

(f) 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 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 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 mortgage 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
mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such
financial data or financial statements shall be

 

154

 

furnished to Lender (A) within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice from Lender in
connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than
forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter of Borrowers, and (C) not later than
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of Borrowers; provided,
however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial
statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any
period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the
Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall
furnish 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
mortgage 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.

(g) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers pursuant to Section
5.1.11(f) 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(f) hereof shall be audited by
independent accountants of 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 under Section 5.1.11(f) 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(g).

(h) If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall 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.

(i) 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(f) and (g)
hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other

 

155

 

financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate
for such compliance.

(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
(iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrowers’ data systems without change
or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows or
WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as
word processing files). Borrowers agree that Lender may disclose information regarding the
Properties and Borrowers 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 to engage in the
businesses presently conducted by Borrowers as and to the extent the same are necessary for
the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Properties or the IP. Each
Borrower will qualify to do business and will 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 Properties or the IP.

5.1.13. Title to the Properties and the IP. Borrowers will warrant and defend
(a) the title to each Property, the Owned IP and any right in and under all IP Agreements
with respect to Licensed IP, and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted
hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted IP Encumbrances and the asset sales
and releases permitted under this Agreement), and (b) the validity and priority of the Liens
of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the IP Assignments, subject only to Liens
permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted IP Encumbrances), in
each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. 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 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 Mortgage is foreclosed
in whole or in part or that the Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney for
collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any mortgage prior to or
subsequent to the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the
bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of any
Borrower or any of its Constituent Members or an assignment by any Borrower or any of its
Constituent Members for the benefit of its creditors and Lender incurs costs in connection
with any such proceeding as a direct or indirect result of the Loan, then, in any of the
foregoing instances, each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors or assigns, shall
be chargeable with and shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs of collection and defense,
including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or any Borrower in connection
therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved
therein.

 

156

 

5.1.15. Estoppel Statement. (a) After request by Lender from time to time, but
in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period except in connection
with a Securitization, Borrowers shall within ten (10) Business Days furnish Lender with a

of the Loan and each Component, (ii) the Reduced Acquisition Loan Outstanding Principal
Balance and the Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance, (iii) the Applicable
Interest Rate of each Component, (iv) the date an installment of interest was last paid, (v)
any offsets or, to the best of each Borrower’s actual knowledge, defenses to the payment of
the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrowers and have not been modified
or, if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

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

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

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

5.1.16. Loan Proceeds. Borrowers used the proceeds of the Original Acquisition
Loan received by them on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Section
2.1.2 hereof. Borrowers have used and shall use the proceeds of the Construction Loan
received by them pursuant to any Construction Loan Advances only for the purposes set forth
in Section 2.1.3 hereof.

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

 

157

 

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

5.1.19. No Joint Assessment. Borrowers shall not suffer, permit or initiate
the joint assessment of any Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot
separate from such Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of
such Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure
whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be
assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of the Property.

5.1.20. Leasing Matters. Any Major Leases with respect to any Property
executed after the date hereof shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however,
that renewals of any Major Lease by Borrowers initially executed prior to the Closing Date
shall not require the approval of Lender if the terms of any such Lease provided for
renewals at a reasonably determinable rent. Upon request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender
with executed copies of all Leases. All proposed Major Leases shall be on commercially
reasonable terms and no Lease shall not contain any terms which would materially adversely
affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof
shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn
to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale, provided that,
with respect to Major Leases, Lender provides commercially reasonable non-disturbance
language. Borrowers (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor
under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall 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 Borrower or acceptance
of surrender by a tenant of any Major Lease will be permitted without the consent of Lender;
(iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than
security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the
Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall not alter,
modify or change the terms of any Major Lease in any material manner, in each of the
foregoing instances, without the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably
withheld. To the extent Lender’s approval is required pursuant to this Section
5.1.20, Lender shall endeavor to respond to a request for Lender’s approval within ten
(10) Business Days after Borrowers’ written request therefor, delivered together with any
documents or information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder in connection with
Lender’s review of the proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease
termination. If the correspondence from Borrowers requesting such approval contains the
following statement at the top of the

 

158

 

first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO
RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10)
BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender shall fail to respond to
or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing (stating in reasonable detail the
reason for such disapproval) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Borrowers’
written request therefor together with the documents and information required above and any
other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such
ten (10) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same, then Borrowers shall
re-submit such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination and
accompanying information to Lender with a request for approval containing the following
statement at the top of the first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type
lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN
WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender
does not respond to such second request by approving such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease
amendment or Major Lease termination or stating its objection thereto within five (5)
Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission, Lender’s approval shall be
deemed given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall
not 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 hereof, Borrowers shall 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 financial condition, the value of 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 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

 

159

 

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. Such
security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect
to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Property (other than such amounts to be
paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold Amount and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such security from time to
time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

5.1.22. Operation of the Properties.

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

(b) Each Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all

returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the
date that such Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs,
and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross Income from Operations from each
Property for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of such Casualty (assuming such
Casualty had not occurred) and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such
period. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof
and at least once

 

175

 

each year thereafter based on Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of the Gross Income from
Operations from each Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Provided that
(y) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (z) Lender has not elected (to
the extent Lender has the right to so elect under Section 6.4 hereof) to apply the Net

Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business
income insurance;

with an Agreed Amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(v) worker’s compensation insurance with respect to any employees at any of the Properties, as

consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above at
all times during the term of the Loan (collectively, the “Terrorism Insurance”); provided,
however, that Borrowers shall only be required to maintain Terrorism Insurance in the
amount (the “Terrorism Cap”) that may be purchased by Borrowers at a cost not to exceed (A)

coverage with respect to construction of the Project pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and

located in or around the region in which such Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid
and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall

deemed to have been given if (i) a request for approval, together with a copy of the applicable
proposed insurance and any other documents and information reasonably requested by Lender in
writing in order to adequately review the same, is submitted to Lender with a request for approval
set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST
FOR APPROVAL AND IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN
WRITING WITHIN EIGHT (8) DAYS, BORROWERS MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE”, and Lender does not
respond by approving such proposed insurance or stating in reasonable detail its objections to such
proposed insurance within eight (8) days of Lender’s receipt thereof, and (ii) after Lender’s
failure to respond to the initial request for approval of such proposed insurance within the time
period set forth in the foregoing clause (i), Borrowers shall re-submit such request to
Lender in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-

 

177

 

point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. APPROVAL WILL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF
LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS”, and Lender does not respond to such second
submission by approving such proposed insurance or stating in reasonable detail its objection

the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the
Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the Securities, than only by one additional
Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities),
or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and (z)
the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) (or lesser remaining amount) of which shall have a claims
paying ability rating of “BBB” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least
two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating the
Securities, than only by one additional Rating Agency rating the Securities, which shall be Moody’s
if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities,
then only by such Rating Agency, or (iii) if there are five or more insurance companies
collectively issuing the Policies, (y) sixty percent (60%) or more of the insured amount shall have
a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at
least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (provided that if S&P is rating

Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (B) if only one Rating Agency is rating the
Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and (z) the remaining forty percent (40%) (or lesser
remaining amount) of which shall have a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better (and the
equivalent thereof) by S&P and by (A) at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore
furnished to Lender, 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.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall substantially fulfill the requirements contained herein
and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only each
Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof, and shall only be
permitted so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

178

 

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the
Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name the applicable Borrower(s) as the
insured and Lender as an additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of
property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard
non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be
payable to Lender.

(e) All property Policies provided for in Section 6.1 hereof shall contain clauses or
endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone acting for any Borrower, or of any tenant
or other occupant (including, without limitation, HRHI with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property),
or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a
forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or
enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender;

(iii) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed
fifteen (15) days prior to their expiration; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.

(f) 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 any
of the Properties, 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 Mortgage and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, proof of all property coverages
required under Section 6.1(a) hereof 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.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, Lender agrees that by funding the Original Acquisition Loan on the Closing Date, the
existing Policies and coverages covering the Properties as of the Closing Date are satisfactory to
Lender in all respects and are deemed to fully comply with the requirements of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not prevent Lender from insisting upon strict compliance with the requirements of
this Section 6.1 with respect to any future Policies or coverage.

 

179

 

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 give prompt notice of such damage
to Lender and shall 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 hereof, provided,
that if (A) Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for purposes of
Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, (B) Lender has received such Net
Proceeds, and (C) Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers, then Borrowers
shall not be required to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are
made available to Borrowers. It is expressly understood, however, that 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 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. 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 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 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 from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably
requested by it to permit such participation. Borrowers shall, 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 Notes 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 Notes. If any Property or any
portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers

 

180

 

shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property
and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof, provided, that if
(A) Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for purposes of Restoration in
accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, (B) Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C)
Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers, then Borrowers shall not be obligated
to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to
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 either of
the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof
sufficient to pay the Debt (and all components thereof, including, without limitation, the Exit
Fee).

Section 6.4. Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the
Restoration of any Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of
completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, provided that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by
Lender to the Borrower owning such Property upon receipt and Borrowers shall diligently proceed to
Restore the applicable Property.

(b) If (i) the Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and/or
the costs of completing the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration
Threshold, but (ii) the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Value Threshold,
provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds
will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration of the
applicable Property in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4, provided
that the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(c)(i)(A), (B), (D),
(F), (G) and (H) hereof are met.

(c) If (i) the Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and/or
the costs of completing the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration
Threshold, and (ii) the Net Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Restoration Value Threshold, the Net
Proceeds shall be held by Lender and Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (A)
apply the Net Proceeds to the Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4(d)
hereof, or (B) make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration of such Property in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this
Agreement shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender
pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x) hereof as a result of such
damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but
not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or
(ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation
Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

 

181

 

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(a) above, the Net Proceeds shall be made
available to the applicable Borrower for Restoration of its Property upon the approval of Lender in
its reasonable discretion that the following conditions are met:

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than
thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on such
Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of
such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation
Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting such
Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery
of such Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such
land;

(C) Intentionally Deleted;

(D) the applicable Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as
reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after
such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs, (subject
to Excusable Delay and delays in the claims adjustments process outside the
control of Borrowers)) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including
all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will
be incurred with respect to such Property as a result of the occurrence of
any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be
covered out of the aggregate amount of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) hereof, if
applicable, and (3) other funds of Borrowers;

(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on
or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the
Maturity Date (as may be extended), (2) with respect to the Hotel/Casino
Property, the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of
the Casino Component Lease, (3) such time as may be required under
applicable Legal Requirements, or (4) the expiration of the insured period
provided by the insurance coverage referred to in Section
6.1(a)(iii) hereof;

(G) such Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in
compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable
Legal Requirements;

(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by the applicable
Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all
applicable Legal Requirements;

 

182

 

(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in
the loss of access to any portion of such Property or the related
Improvements;

(J) Lender shall be satisfied that the Debt Yield, after giving effect
to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than the Debt Yield
immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable,
calculated based on the most recent financial statements delivered to Lender
pursuant to Section 5.1.11 hereof prior to such Casualty or
Condemnation;

(K) Lender shall be satisfied that the Loan-to-Value Ratio, after
giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than the
Loan-to-Value-Ratio immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation;

(L) the applicable Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by such Borrower’s
architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration
of such Property, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; and

(M) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent
deposited by Borrowers with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable
discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration of such Property.

(ii) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Net
Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing
account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(c),
shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds
shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, the applicable Borrower from time to time
during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender
that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are
to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid
for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s
liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever on the affected Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully
bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured
to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company, except for any Lien then being contested
pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage.

(iii) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, all
plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior
reasonable approval by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the
“Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits,
licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of
the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration the cost of which is
greater than $750,000, as well as the contracts

 

183

 

under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance
by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in
connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be
paid by Borrowers.

(iv) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, in no
event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount
equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term
“Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the
Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place
as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been
completed. The Casualty Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred for
work upon receipt by Lender of reasonably satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the
Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(c), be less than the amount
actually held back by the applicable Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.4(c) and that all approvals necessary to permit the
re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental
Authorities and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in
full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the
portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or
materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work
and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s,
subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, such contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers
the lien waivers (if the value of the applicable contract exceeds $175,000.00) and evidence of
payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be
reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company, and Lender receives an endorsement to the
applicable Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and
evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the
release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if
any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor
or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.

(vi) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, if at any
time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the good faith opinion of
Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of
the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the
completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall deposit the

 

184

 

deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the
Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by
Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the
same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant
to this Section 6.4(c) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other
Obligations.

(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that
the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.4(c), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be applied by Lender to
repayment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.3(c) hereof (with the determination of
the Exit Fee payable in connection therewith being determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.8 hereof).

(d) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration may be retained and
applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.3(c) hereof (with the determination of the
Exit Fee payable in connection therewith being determined in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.8 hereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Lender
is obligated under this Agreement to disburse the Net Proceeds to Borrowers for Restoration, and if
Lender fails to do so, then any obligation of Borrowers to restore or repair such Property under
the Loan Documents shall not apply until such Net Proceeds have been disbursed to Borrowers.

(e) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to any Property, or other
transfer of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right,
title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force
concerning such Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser
at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

ARTICLE VII.

RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1. Working Capital Reserve Fund.

7.1.1. Deposits to Working Capital Reserve Account. As of the date hereof,
Borrowers have deposited with Lender the amount of $7,000,000 to be held by Lender as
additional collateral for the Loan and to be applied at Borrowers’ direction in accordance
with the terms of this Section 7.1. Additionally, from time to time during the term
of the Loan, pursuant to Sections 2.6.2(b)(xv), 2.6.2(c)(xv) and/or
7.4.3, certain additional amounts may be deposited with Lender with respect to
working capital. All amounts so deposited with respect to working capital with Lender shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Working Capital Reserve Fund” and the account in which
such amount is held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Working Capital Reserve
Account”.

 

185

 

7.1.2. Withdrawals from Working Capital Reserve Account. Provided that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall have the right from
time to time to request a disbursement of funds from the Working Capital Reserve Account for
Operating Expenses, Extraordinary Expenses, Capital Expenses, Project Costs, Debt Service,
debt service on the First Mezzanine Loan (but not any Accrual Amounts), debt service on the
Second Mezzanine Loan (but not any Accrual Amounts), debt service on the Third Mezzanine
Loan (but not any Accrual Amounts), Exit Fees, fees due in connection with any Letter of
Credit facilities utilized to post Letters of Credit to be provided hereunder from and after
the date hereof or any other fees or amounts required to be paid to Lender hereunder in each
case without the requirement for Lender approval of any of the foregoing (which request may
be made electronically in a manner and to a recipient acceptable to Lender);
provided, however, that in no event shall funds on deposit in the Working
Capital Reserve Account be disbursed for the distribution to, or otherwise to pay any
dividends to or make any payments to, any Restricted Party, subject to Section 5.2.12
hereof. Within thirty (30) days following the date of any withdrawal from the Working
Capital Reserve Account, Borrowers shall provide an accounting to Lender of all funds so
withdrawn from the Working Capital Reserve Account and the application thereof (without
regard to whether such funds were withdrawn by Borrowers or, in accordance with the
penultimate sentence of this Section 7.1.2, DLJ Guarantor), which certification shall be
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such accounting represents a true,
correct and complete accounting of the application of such funds (it being acknowledged and
agreed that in the instance any funds from the Working Capital Reserve Account were
disbursed at DLJ Guarantor’s request in accordance with the terms of the penultimate
sentence of this Section 7.1.2, then in such instance the Officer’s Certificate shall also
be signed by a duly authorized officer or manager of DLJ Guarantor). Without limiting any
other provisions set forth herein, in the event Borrowers shall fail to provide any such
accounting (and accompanying Officer’s Certificate) or in the event such accounting shall
disclose that Borrowers (or, as applicable, DLJ Guarantor) have failed to apply such funds
to permitted costs in accordance with this Section 7.1, neither Borrowers nor DLJ Guarantor
shall be entitled to any further advances from the Working Capital Reserve Account if,
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from Lender of any such failure, Borrowers
(or, as applicable, DLJ Guarantor) do not remedy the same. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that DLJ Guarantor may
request disbursement of amounts specified in this Section 7.1.2 and that in such instance
Lender shall be entitled to make such disbursements to DLJ Guarantor in lieu of any Borrower
(and Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive any claims that may arise as a result of or in
connection with any disbursement to DLJ Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this
sentence). Borrowers further acknowledge and agree that Lender may condition any such
disbursement to DLJ Guarantor upon Borrowers’ written acknowledgment that Borrowers waive
any claims that may arise as a result of or in connection with any disbursement to DLJ
Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this sentence.

Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each
Payment Date (a) one twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next
ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all

 

186

 

such Taxes at least fifteen (15) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one twelfth
of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage
afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient
funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the
Policies (said amounts to be deposited pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, being
hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant
to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured
from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to
Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into
the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the
amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any
excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund. To the extent sufficient amounts have been deposited into the Tax and
Insurance Fund with Lender in compliance with this Section 7.2, it shall not be an Event of
Default if the Insurance Premiums and/or the Taxes are not paid due to Lender’s failure to apply
such amounts to the payment of the Insurance Premiums and the Taxes on the respective dates on
which each are due provided that Borrowers have not impeded Lender’s attempt to pay such
Insurance Premiums or Taxes. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the
Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrowers. In allocating such excess, Lender may
deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of each of the Properties. If
at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not
be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in clauses (a) and
(b) above, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase
their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to
make up the deficiency at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or fifteen
(15) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Section 7.3. Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

7.3.1. Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment
Date an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Gross Income from Operations of the
Hotel/Casino Property for the immediately preceding calendar month, to be applied in
accordance with this Agreement to the costs of FF&E Expenditures and FF&E Expenditures Work
required to be made to the Hotel/Casino Property during the calendar year (collectively, the
“Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’
“Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter
be referred to as Borrowers’ “Replacement Reserve Account”.

7.3.2. Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the
Replacement Reserve Fund as requested by Borrowers and reasonably approved by Lender, which
approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned,

 

187

 

withheld or delayed, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period and of
no less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per disbursement (or a lesser amount if the
total amount in the Replacement Reserve Account at such time is less than Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000)), upon delivery by Borrowers of Lender’s or Servicer’s standard form of
draw request specifying the Replacements to be paid for on a Property-by-Property basis and
accompanied by copies of paid invoices for or invoices to be paid with the amounts requested
and, if required by Lender for requests in excess of One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars ($175,000) for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing
materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an
inspection of the applicable Property at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a monthly
disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) for which reimbursement is sought. Lender shall
cause any disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Fund to be made within five (5) Business
Days after receipt of Borrowers’ request and all required documentation provided
that such request is reasonably approved by Lender.

7.3.3. Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any
balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrowers from their obligation
to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

Section 7.4. Interest Reserve Fund.

7.4.1. Deposits to Interest Reserve Account. As of the date hereof, Borrowers
have deposited with Lender the amount of $1,002,235.00, resulting in a total amount on
deposit in the Interest Reserve Account of $10,672,081.54 to be held by Lender as additional
collateral for the Loan and to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
the payment of interest due hereunder, subject to Section 7.8(a). Additionally,
from time to time during the term of the Loan, pursuant to Sections 2.6.2(h),
3.23, 7.5.5, 7.7.2 (to the extent amounts withdrawn under
Section 7.7.2 relate to advances with respect to “Pre-Opening Funds” and “Property
Reimbursement Funds” (each as determined by Lender), which advances will be applied to the
Interest Reserve Account in accordance with the terms hereof) and/or 7.7.3, certain
additional amounts may be deposited with Lender with respect to the Interest Reserve Fund.
All amounts so deposited with Lender shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’
“Interest Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be
referred to as Borrowers’ “Interest Reserve Account.”

7.4.2. Withdrawals from Interest Reserve Account. Provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if on any Payment Date the funds available in
the Cash Management Account are insufficient to pay the Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly
Interest Payment, the Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment, the First Mezzanine
Applicable Interest Payment, the Second Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment and/or the
Third Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment due on such Payment Date after satisfying all
items with a higher priority pursuant to Section 2.6.2 hereof, Lender shall
automatically, without the necessity of notifying, or

 

188

 

obtaining the approval of, any Borrower or any other Person, and without any Borrower’s
request, apply a portion of the Interest Reserve Fund then on deposit to the payment of the
Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest Payment, the Construction Loan Monthly Interest
Payment, the First Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment, the Second Mezzanine Applicable
Interest Payment and/or the Third Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment or the portion of
any of the foregoing for which funds in the Cash Management Account are insufficient as
aforesaid, as applicable, and the Interest Reserve Fund shall be reduced by an equal amount
(provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no funds on
deposit in the Interest Reserve Account shall be applied to the payment of any Accrual
Amounts). Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that no disbursements from the Interest
Reserve Fund shall be made at any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that
in the event that on any day on which a Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest Payment
and/or a Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment is/are due and payable (a) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall remain liable for the payment of all
Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest Payments and Construction Loan Monthly Interest
Payments as and when due, First Mezzanine Borrowers shall remain liable for the payment of
all First Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payments as and when due, Second Mezzanine Borrowers
shall remain liable for the payment of all Second Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payments as
and when due, and Third Mezzanine Borrowers shall remain liable for the payment of all Third
Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payments as and when due, or (b) the amount of such Reduced
Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest Payment, Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment, First
Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment, Second Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment and/or
Third Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment exceeds the Interest Reserve Fund then on
deposit, Borrowers, First Mezzanine Borrowers and Second Mezzanine Borrowers, as applicable,
shall remain liable for the difference between such Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly
Interest Payment, Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment, First Mezzanine Applicable
Interest Payment, Second Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment and/or Third Mezzanine
Applicable Interest Payment, as applicable, and the Interest Reserve Fund then on deposit,
such difference to be due and payable at the time the Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly
Interest Payment, the Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment, the First Mezzanine
Applicable Interest Payment, the Second Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment and the Third
Mezzanine Applicable Interest Payment are due and payable. Borrowers shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to apply amounts on deposit in the Working Capital Reserve Fund with
respect to any such difference or to make payments on account of any such difference with
additional equity provided by Borrowers. Lender acknowledges that if Lender is obligated to
apply Interest Reserve Funds to the payment of any Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly Interest
Payment and/or Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment pursuant to this Section
7.4.2, then the failure of Borrowers to pay such Reduced Acquisition Loan Monthly
Interest Payment and/or Construction Loan Monthly Interest Payment to the extent of such
Interest Reserve Fund shall not be deemed an Event of Default.

7.4.3. Remaining Interest Reserve Fund. Upon the satisfaction of the following
conditions: (a) no Event of Default, First Mezzanine Event of Default, Second

 

189

 

Mezzanine Event of Default or Third Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, (b) the later to occur of (i) Substantial Completion and (ii) the Loan having
been extended in February 9, 2011 in accordance with Section 2.7.3(b) hereof and (c)
the Properties having achieved and maintained a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 to 1:00
for the immediately preceding six (6) consecutive calendar months as reasonably determined
by Lender, any funds remaining in the Interest Reserve Fund shall be deposited into the
Working Capital Reserve Fund until the amount on deposit therein equals $7,000,000 and
thereafter into the General Reserve Fund.

Section 7.5. Initial Renovation Reserve Fund.

7.5.1. Status of Initial Renovation Reserve Fund. The current balance on
deposit in the Initial Renovation Reserve Fund is $958,319.10 and is being held by Lender as
additional collateral for the Loan for the payment of those initial renovations to the
Properties identified on Schedule XIII attached hereto and made a part hereof, as
the same may be modified from time to time with Lender’s reasonable approval (the “Initial
Renovations”). Additionally, pursuant to Section 7.5.2 hereof, an additional
deposit may hereafter be made with Lender to be used for the payment of the Initial
Renovations. All of the foregoing amounts so deposited or hereafter deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Initial Renovation Reserve Fund” and the account in which
such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Initial Renovation Reserve
Account.”

7.5.2. Withdrawals from Initial Renovation Reserve Fund.

(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Initial Renovation Reserve Fund for Initial
Renovation Costs incurred by any Borrower upon satisfaction by Borrowers of each of the following
conditions with respect to each such disbursement:

(i) such disbursement is for Initial Renovation Costs (A) contemplated by the Initial

(ii) prior to commencing any Initial Renovations that consist of constructing or demolishing
any improvements, (A) Lender shall have approved, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, (1) the architect and the architect’s contract, if any, relating thereto, (2) the
construction manager and the construction management agreement, if any, relating thereto, (3) the
general contractor and the general contract, if any, relating thereto, (4) all Major Contracts and

Reserve Account under Section 7.6.2 shall be funded from the IP Subaccount until the IP
Subaccount Funds on deposit in the IP Subaccount are reduced to zero, with the balance of
any such disbursements being made from funds otherwise on deposit in the General Reserve
Account. In the event funds are disbursed from the IP Subaccount to fund any distribution

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

(b) Except to the extent provided in the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Second Mezzanine
Loan Documents and/or the Third 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

 

201

 

Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with
respect thereto.

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

(d) 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.

Component Lease (or any similar replacement Lease for purposes of operating the Casino Component)
or (B) without Lender’s prior written consent, Hotel/Casino Borrower or Gaming Borrower shall

Prescribed Laws set forth in Section 5.1.1 hereof and such failure to comply continues
after ten (10) Business Days notice thereof;

(xv) except as otherwise contemplated by the Loan Documents, if Hotel/Casino Borrower ceases

including, without limitation, comparable food and beverage outlets and other amenities, (other
than temporary cessation in connection with any diligent Restoration of the Hotel/Casino Property
following a Casualty or Condemnation) and such failure continues after thirty (30) days notice from
Lender thereof; provided, however, that if any such failure is susceptible of cure
but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided,
further, that Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such failure within such thirty (30)
day period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the

 

204

than in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.1(c) hereof and/or in the event any funds on

Gaming Operating Condition is not satisfied; or (B) any Gaming License or finding of suitability
held by the Gaming Operator shall be materially adversely modified, denied, suspended, revoked or

proceeding is commenced by any Governmental Authority for the purpose of modifying in any
materially adverse respect, suspending, revoking or canceling any Gaming License in any materially
adverse respect, in each case, which is not stayed within sixty (60) days after commencement
thereof and the result of which is reasonably likely to be Borrowers’ inability to continue to
conduct gaming operations at the Hotel/Casino Property; provided, however, that

appointed a conservator, supervisor or trustee with respect to the Casino Component or the

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

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

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

 

206

 

any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.

Section 8.2. Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to
applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies
available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers or at law or in equity may be exercised by
Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared
due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, in each case
to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative
and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise,
at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of
Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any
“one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies
or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted
all of its remedies against the Properties, the IP and any other collateral and the Mortgage 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
Properties and the IP, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as
requiring Lender to resort to any particular Property or to the IP for the satisfaction of any of
the obligations in preference or priority to any other Property or the IP, and Lender may seek
satisfaction out of all of the Properties, any Property, the IP or any part of any 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 the Mortgage
in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage 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 the Mortgage to recover such delinquent
payments, and/or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding
Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Outstanding
Principal Balance as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender
may elect in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the
Properties, the IP and any other collateral shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment
of sums secured by the Mortgage 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 either or both of the Notes and the
other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and

 

207

 

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

(d) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrowers pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s
rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s 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 any Property, the IP
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 to 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
Lender’s obligations to make Construction Loan Advances hereunder to be terminated, whereupon the
same shall terminate, and/or declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on one or both of
the Notes, 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

 

208

 

applicable law; provided, however, that Lender may make Construction Loan
Advances or parts of Construction Loan Advances thereafter without thereby waiving the right to
demand payment of the Notes, without becoming liable to make any other or further Construction Loan
Advances, and without affecting the validity of or enforceability of the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender’s obligations to make Construction Loan Advances hereunder shall automatically
terminate.

(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may cause
the construction of the Project to be completed and may enter upon the Property and construct,
equip and complete the Project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, with such changes
therein as Lender may, from time to time, and in its sole and absolute discretion, deem
appropriate. In connection with any construction of the Project undertaken by Lender pursuant to
the provisions of this subsection, Lender may:

(i) use any funds of Borrowers, including any balance which may be held by Lender as security
or in escrow, including, without limitation, any Shortfall Funds and/or any funds on deposit in the
Construction Loan Reserve Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account, the Initial Renovations
Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the General Reserve Account, the Casino Account and
any and all other Reserves;

(ii) draw down on any Letter of Credit then held by Lender and use the proceeds thereof;

(iii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects, engineers and the like,
or terminate the same and employ others;

(iv) employ security watchmen to protect the Properties;

(v) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans and Specifications as shall, in
the judgment of Lender, be necessary or desirable;

(vi) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted for or purchased by Borrowers,
if appropriate, or dispose of the same as Lender sees fit in accordance with applicable law;

(vii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, execute all applications and certificates on
behalf of Borrowers which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement or
contract documents or agreements;

(viii) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims which are or may be
Liens against any of the Properties, or may be necessary for the completion of construction of the
Project or the clearance of title to any of the Properties, including, without limitation, all
taxes and assessments;

(ix) complete the marketing and leasing of leasable space in the Project, enter into new
leases and occupancy agreements at any of the Properties, and modify or

 

209

 

amend existing leases and occupancy agreements, all as Lender shall deem to be necessary or
desirable;

(x) to the extent permitted by applicable law, prosecute and defend all actions and
proceedings in connection with the completion of the construction of the Project or in any other
way affecting any of the Properties and take such action and require such performance as Lender
deems necessary under any Payment and Performance Bonds; and

(xi) to the extent permitted by applicable law, take such other action hereunder, or refrain
from acting hereunder, as Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time
determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section
8.2.

Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrowers shall be liable to Lender for all costs paid
or incurred for the construction, completion and equipping of the Project, whether the same shall
be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2 or otherwise, and all
payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed
advances made to Borrowers under this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other
applicable Loan Documents. In the event Lender takes possession of any Property and assumes
control of such construction as aforesaid, Lender shall not be obligated to continue such
construction longer than Lender shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of
action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further payments for the
account of Borrowers, whether or not the construction of the Project shall have been completed.
For the purpose of this Section 8.2 the construction, equipping and completion of the
Project shall be deemed to include any action necessary to cure any existing Event of Default by
Borrowers under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE IX.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Components, into additional 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 and/or any
of the Components, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan
and/or any of the Components, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and/or the Third
Mezzanine Loan amongst each other and/or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan and/or any of
the Components, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and/or the Third Mezzanine Loan
to one or more of the foregoing or into one or more additional mezzanine loans to the direct and/or

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/or any of the Components and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets
that include the Loan and/or any of the Components and the Loan Documents (such sales,
participations and/or

 

210

 

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 First Mezzanine Loan, the
Second Mezzanine Loan and/or the Third 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 and/or the IP reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective

Rating Agencies;

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

(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 the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to
replace any original note or modify any original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan or
any Component (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted average
coupon of the original note, but such

 

211

 

new notes or modified note may change the interest rate of the Loan or any Component), 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 (i)
such new notes or modified note will not change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the
amortization of principal set forth in either of the Notes unless the varying interest rates shall
have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Notes, (ii) 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 Borrowers, HRHI or Guarantors or any of
their respective Constituent Members, or (iii) such amendments to the Loan Documents will not
materially increase Borrowers’ 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, any
Borrower, any First Mezzanine Borrower, any Second Mezzanine Borrower, any Third Mezzanine
Borrower, HRHI, the Gaming Operator, any Manager, the Liquor Manager and/or the Loan (including
each of the Components) 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
Borrower, any First Mezzanine Borrower, any Second Mezzanine Borrower, any Third Mezzanine
Borrower, HRHI, any Guarantor, the Loan (including each of the Components), any Property and/or the

(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 its legal
counsel and its 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 New 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

 

212

 

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 the Securitization. In the event that the
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will
cooperate with the holder(s) of the Notes 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 Borrowers, Borrowers’ Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the
Properties, the IP, the Manager, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan (including
each of the Components), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact in each Borrower’s actual knowledge necessary in order to make the statements made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, (B)
jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, Credit Suisse (whether or not it is Lender), any
Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that has filed any registration statement relating to the
Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any
Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial
purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement
agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their
respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and
each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any
out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, actual damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in
value and other consequential damages) or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which
any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any such
Disclosure Document specified by Lender for Borrowers’ review, as it relates to Borrowers,
Borrowers’ Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the Manager, the Liquor Manager,
the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan (including each of the Components), 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

 

213

 

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 Borrower, 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 Borrowers, Borrowers’ Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the
Properties, the IP, the Manager, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan (including
any of the Components), or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Disclosure
Document a material fact in any Borrower’s actual knowledge, required to be stated in such
Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in such Disclosure Document, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified
Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in
connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that
Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to
the extent that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or
omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by
Borrowers in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with
the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of any Borrower, 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

 

214

 

defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if
the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and any Borrower and the
Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to
it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to
Borrowers, the Indemnified Person(s) shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Person(s) at the cost of Borrowers. Borrowers shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel unless any Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to another Indemnified Person.

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

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

 

215

 

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 Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Notes, this
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in any Property, the Rents, the IP or any
other 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 its Property,
in its Rents, in the IP and in any other collateral given by it to Lender, and Lender, by accepting
the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Mortgage; (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) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f)
constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order
to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or commencing any other appropriate action or
proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against any Property or the IP; or (g)
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 Borrower, 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 Borrower, 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

other Loan Documents, to the extent that there is sufficient Gross Income from Operations to make
such payments (or deposits, as applicable);

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

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

extent permitted under this Agreement;

any of the other Loan Documents are violated (provided that a Transfer to Lender or any Mezzanine
Lender in connection with a foreclosure, deed 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 any Guarantor under the other provisions of
this Section 9.4 or the Non-Recourse Guaranty, as applicable);

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 Mortgage or to require that all

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

any Constituent Member with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore,
contribute or loan.

Section 9.5. Matters Concerning Manager and Liquor Manager.

become bankrupt or insolvent, or (d) any Manager commits fraud, gross negligence, willful
misconduct or misappropriation of funds with respect to any Borrower and/or any Property
and/or the IP or any material default otherwise occurs under any Management Agreement beyond
any applicable grace and cure periods, the applicable Borrower shall, at the request of

and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then
prevailing market rates.

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) Hotel/Casino Borrower

acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall Hotel/Casino
Borrower be required to terminate such Gaming Operator if such immediate termination would require
cessation of gaming-related activities at the Hotel/Casino Property and, in such event, (A) such
termination shall occur immediately upon the ability of Hotel/Casino Borrower to transfer such
gaming operations to a Qualified Gaming Operator as required herein, and (B) Hotel/Casino Borrower
shall, at its sole cost and expense, diligently pursue the engagement and licensing of a
replacement Qualified Gaming Operator.

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

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

Section 9.8. Restructuring of Loan. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s
other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time, at
Lender’s sole cost and expense, to require Borrowers to restructure the Loan or any of the
Components into additional multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and
junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan or any of the Components, which
restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan and/or any of the
Components, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and/or the Third Mezzanine Loan
and/or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan and/or any of the Components, the First Mezzanine
Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and/or the Third Mezzanine Loan to one or more of the foregoing or
to one or more additional mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”) 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, the establishment of different interest rates for the Loan and/or any of the
Components, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the Third Mezzanine Loan and any
New Mezzanine Loan(s) and the payment of the Loan and/or any of the Components, the First Mezzanine
Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the Third Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such
order of priority as may be designated

 

221

 

by Lender; provided, that (i) the total amounts of the Reduced Acquisition Loan, the
Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the Third Mezzanine Loan
and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately following such restructuring shall equal the amount of
the Reduced Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine
Loan, the Third Mezzanine Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any,
immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) the weighted average spread above LIBOR of the Reduced
Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the
Third Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately following such
restructuring, shall, in the aggregate, equal the weighted average spread for all of the Reduced
Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the
Third Mezzanine Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately prior
to the restructuring, and (iii) the debt service payments on the Reduced Acquisition Loan, the
Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the Third Mezzanine Loan
and any New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, as calculated immediately following such restructuring,
shall equal the aggregate debt service payments which would have been payable under the Reduced
Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, the
Third Mezzanine Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, had the
restructuring not occurred. Borrowers shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in
order to restructure the Loan and/or any of the Components, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second
Mezzanine Loan and/or the Third Mezzanine Loan and/or to create and/or restructure one or more New
Mezzanine Loan(s), if applicable, and shall, upon fifteen (15) Business Days written notice from
Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution
and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents, including, without limitation, in the case of
any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security
agreement and a mezzanine cash management agreement, (B) cause Borrowers’ counsel to deliver such
legal opinions, and (C) create such a bankruptcy remote borrower under each New Mezzanine Loan as,
in each of the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably required
by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if requested by Lender. Except as may be required in
connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, Borrowers shall not be
obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such restructuring as set
forth in this Section 9.8. In the event any Borrower fails to execute and deliver such
documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and
Lender sends a second notice to Borrowers with respect to the delivery of such documents containing
a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all
capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY
OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS”, 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 such transactions,
each Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if any Borrower fails to
execute and deliver such documents within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such second notice.
It shall be an Event of Default if any Borrower

 

222

 

fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 after
the expiration of five (5) Business Days after the second notice thereof.

ARTICLE X.

MISCELLANEOUS

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 Notes, 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 assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and
agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of any Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the
legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Section 10.2. Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender

satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not 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
decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria,
shall be substituted therefor.

APPROVAL OF ANY GAMING AUTHORITY (INCLUDING PRIOR APPROVALS) IS OBTAINED. NOTWITHSTANDING THE

OF APPROVAL FROM ANY GAMING AUTHORITY MAY PREVENT ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FROM TAKING ANY
ACTION OR FULFILLING ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WHICH RESULTS IN THE
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND/OR A CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO RECOURSE LIABILITY UNDER
SECTION 9.4 HEREOF, SHALL NOT, IN ANY MANNER, LIMIT OR VITIATE OR BE DEEMED TO LIMIT OR

WHATSOEVER.

(c) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR ANY BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL, AT LENDER’S OPTION, BE INSTITUTED IN
ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402

TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY

 

224

 

SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT:

CT CORPORATION SYSTEM

111 EIGHTH AVENUE

NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011

PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER (I) SHALL GIVE PROMPT NOTICE TO LENDER OF ANY
CHANGED ADDRESS OF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT HEREUNDER, (II) MAY AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME
DESIGNATE A SUBSTITUTE AUTHORIZED AGENT WITH AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK (WHICH SUBSTITUTE
AGENT AND OFFICE SHALL BE DESIGNATED AS THE PERSON AND ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS), AND (III)
SHALL PROMPTLY DESIGNATE SUCH A SUBSTITUTE IF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT CEASES TO HAVE AN OFFICE IN NEW
YORK, NEW YORK OR IS DISSOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING A SUCCESSOR.

Section 10.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension,
discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of either of the Notes, or
of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
notice to, or demand on any Borrower, shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any
other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 10.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under either of the Notes 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, either of the Notes or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have
waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this
Agreement, either of the Notes or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to
effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

provided, that within three (3) Business Days thereafter, 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. Any failure to deliver a Notice by reason of a change of address not given

party hereunder or under any other Loan Document may be given by its respective counsel.
Additionally, any Notice 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

also be given via electronic mail; provided that no such notice shall be deemed to have

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

 

227

 

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 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

 

228

 

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 Administrative Agent Fee, the Unused Advance Fee, the Exit Fee and the fees of the
Construction Consultant; (vi) reviewing and processing any requested Construction Loan Advance or
Change Order; (vii) dealing with any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender hereunder; (viii)
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 or any
other security given for the Loan; and (ix) 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 or the IP 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 Mortgage or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
(B) Lender has sold or transferred any interests in either of the Notes, then Borrowers shall only
be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and expenses of the counsel of one Lender.

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

 

229

 

indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that they are
permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

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

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

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

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

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

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to
the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder and/or to disbursements from the Reserve Funds
are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled
to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan and/or will refuse to make any disbursement from
any Reserve Fund in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person
shall under any circumstances be deemed

 

230

 

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
Borrower (the “DLJ Entities”), and (ii) neither the Lender named herein nor any successor or assign
thereof shall have any liability to any 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
with the construction or rehabilitation of the Project or for debts or claims accruing to any such
Persons against Borrowers. Lender shall not be liable for the manner in which any Construction
Loan Advances under this Agreement may be applied by Borrowers, any Major Contractor or any of
Borrower’s other Trade Contractors. 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. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Construction Loan Advances made directly to any Major
Contractor or other Trade Contractor pursuant to any requests for Construction Loan Advances,
whether or not such request is required to be approved by Borrowers, shall not be deemed a
recognition by Lender of a third-party beneficiary status of any such Person.

(e) Observation, inspection and approvals 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 or Lender’s Construction Consultant
and no Borrower, Trade Contractor or other interested Person, under any circumstances, shall be
entitled to rely upon such inspections and approvals by Lender or Lender’s Construction Consultant
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) All terms, provisions, covenants and other conditions of the obligations of Lender to make
Construction Loan Advances hereunder are imposed, and all funds held by Lender pursuant to this
Agreement are held, solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender. No Person, other than
Borrowers, shall have standing to require satisfaction of such terms, provisions, covenants and
other conditions in accordance with their terms; neither Borrowers nor any other Person shall be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make Construction Loan Advances in the absence of
strict compliance with any or all of such terms, covenants and other conditions; and no Person,
other than Borrowers, shall be entitled to require any particular application of such funds (but
Borrowers shall be entitled to require the application of such funds as provided in this
Agreement). No one, other than Lender, under any

 

231

 

circumstances, shall be deemed to be beneficiary of such terms, provisions, covenants and
other conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived, in whole or in part, by Lender at any
time if, in Lender’s discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

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 any Property or the IP, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of
foreclosure of the Mortgage, 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 any Property and/or the IP 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 Properties and/or the IP in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure
of the Mortgage, any equitable right otherwise available to such Borrower which would require the
separate sale of any Property and/or the IP or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any
Property and/or the IP before proceeding against any other Property and/or the IP; and further in
the event of such foreclosure, each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the
option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the
Properties and the IP.

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

 

232

 

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 10.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors.

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

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

Section 10.22. Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, including, without limitation, (i) the Commitment Letter dated May 11, 2006 between
Morgans Hotel Group Co., MHG HR Acquisition Corp and Lender, and (ii) the Commitment Letter dated
December 22, 2006 between Morgans Hotel Group Co., MHG HR Acquisition Corp, DLJ Merchant Banking,
Inc. and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23. Joint and Several Liability. The representations, covenants,
warranties and obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.

 

233

 

Section 10.24. Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(a) subject to applicable Gaming Laws, the right to routinely consult with and advise each
Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial
developments of each Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not
include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.
Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with
Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable
advance notice;

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and
records of each Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports,
including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management
report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including
any similar right), to approve any acquisition by any Borrower of any other significant property
(other than personal property required for the day to day operation of any Property).

The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which
owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

Section 10.25. Future Funding, Participations and Assignment.

(a) Borrowers hereby acknowledge that Lender intends, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, to
transfer one or both of the Notes and the other Loan Documents to one or more special purpose
entities in one or more transactions (collectively, with their respective successors, assigns and
beneficiaries, the “Trust”) in connection with the issuance of Securities. Whether or not any such
transfer occurs, it is intended that a participation agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) will
be executed and delivered pursuant to which (i) one or more senior participation interests will be
created representing a portion of the principal amount of one or both of the Notes previously
advanced, and (ii) one or more junior participation interests (each, a “Junior Participation”) will
be created which may or may not represent funded portions of one or both of the Notes and shall
represent all future funding obligations under the Construction Loan Note. Each Junior
Participation will be transferred to one or more third parties (in such capacity, each, a “Junior
Holder”). The documentation associated with the Construction Loan Note obligates Lender to make
future advances of funds to Borrowers with respect to the Properties (such obligation, the “Future
Funding Obligations”), it being understood and agreed that Future Funding Obligations do not
include obligations to fund Construction Loan Advances from the Construction Loan Account in
accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. From and
after the date on which the Remaining Construction Loan Advance has been made, there shall be no
further Future Funding Obligations

 

234

 

and all references to the same or restrictions relating to the same shall cease to have any
further force or effect without the need for any amendment of any Loan Document, including this
Agreement. Lender will not transfer the Future Funding Obligations to the Trust, but instead to
one or more Junior Holders. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its acceptance of
the Loan on the date hereof in accordance with the terms hereof, Borrowers hereby acknowledge,
confirm, reaffirm and agree that: (i) one or both of the Notes may be transferred to the Trust;
(ii) whether or not either of the Notes has been or ever is transferred to the Trust, any and all
Junior Participations will be transferred to one or more Junior Holders; (iii) from and after the
date of transfer to the Junior Holders, the Future Funding Obligations will be solely the
obligation of the applicable Junior Holder(s), on the same terms and conditions specified in the
Construction Loan Note and the related Loan Documents; and (iv) Borrowers will not have any right
of offset or other claim against any Trust (or its assigns or beneficiaries) as holder of any Note
or any interest therein in connection with the Future Funding Obligations or against any Junior
Holder, other than with respect to the Future Funding Obligations associated with its Junior
Participation.

(b) Lender and/or any Junior Holder may assign, transfer or sell all or any portion of its
Future Funding Obligation and shall thereafter be relieved of such Future Funding Obligation,
provided that such assignee at the time of assignment assumes such Future Funding
Obligation in writing in a manner directly enforceable by, and reasonably acceptable to, Borrowers
and such assumption is delivered to Borrowers. At such time as Lender has so transferred all of
the Future Funding Obligations pursuant to this Section 10.25, the named Lender hereunder
shall have no Future Funding Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender expressly agrees that no matter how many participations
Lender may create, assign, transfer or sell with respect to the Future Funding Obligations,
Borrowers shall only have to deal with the Administrative Agent in connection with obtaining any
Advance under the Future Funding Obligations.

Section 10.26. Note Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain on behalf of
Borrowers pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 10.26, or cause to be maintained,
(i) a copy of each assignment of all or any portion of either of the Notes (an “Assignment
Agreement”) delivered to it and (ii) a register within the meaning of US Treasury Regulation
Section 5(f).103-1(c) (the “Register”), in which it will register the name and address of Lender
and the name and address of each assignee of Lender under this Agreement, and the principal amount
of the Loan owing to each such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and of each Assignment
Agreement. Borrowers, Lenders and the Administrative Agent may not treat any Person whose name is
not recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for the purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary or any notation of ownership or other writing on
any Note. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at Administrative Agent’s
principal place of business, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior
notice. Borrowers hereby appoint Administrative Agent as their agent for purposes of compliance
with US Treasury Regulation Section 5(f).103-1(c) and Administrative Agent hereby accepts such
appointment.

Section 10.27. Corporate Rate Policy. Borrowers shall provide lodging at the
Hotel/Casino Property for Lender’s employees, officers and directors (together the “Corporate
Persons”) visiting the Property in all instances for a rate of $100 per night (or if less, the then

 

235

 

prevailing rate), provided that absent Borrowers reasonable consent thereto the aggregate
number of rooms to be provided per night in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.27 shall
not exceed (a) five (5) rooms on any Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night or
Thursday night and (b) two (2) rooms on any Friday night or Saturday night. Additionally, Borrower
shall upgrade each Corporate Person’s lodging accommodations to suite product, on a space-available
basis (with availability to be determined on the date of stay), at no extra charge. Furthermore,
Corporate Persons will be granted admission to all events (excluding ticketed concerts) in any of
the Property’s facilities, in all instances without any charge (it being acknowledged and agreed
that Corporate Persons will be obligated to pay other generally applicable charges, fees or
expenses payable following admission).

reasonable efforts to obtain from First Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to

not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole
or in part upon any fact, event, condition or circumstance relating to the First Mezzanine Loan
which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrowers in, or which warrants disclosure and
was omitted from, such estoppel executed by Borrowers and First Mezzanine Borrowers.

(b) After written request by Lender but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)
month period, Borrowers shall (or shall cause Second Mezzanine Borrowers to) from time to time, use

Borrower or any other Person for any loss, cost, damage, fine or other expense suffered by any

(or cause or permit any party to transfer or withdraw) any funds on deposit in the Gaming
Account other than (a) transfers to the Lockbox Account in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.6.1(c) of this Agreement or (b) transfers or withdrawals pursuant to which
the amounts so transferred or deposited will be applied to Permitted Gaming Expenses (it
being agreed that such transfers or withdrawals described in this clause (b), shall only
occur in the event the funds then comprising the Gaming Account, together with any Prior
Day’s Cash Receipts to be deposited into the Gaming Account, are not in the Gaming
Borrower’s reasonable business judgment, after taking into consideration the cash needs of
the Casino Component, sufficient to satisfy such Permitted Gaming Expenses). As used herein,
“Permitted Gaming Expense” shall mean all costs and expenses incurred, or payments
or refunds to be made, in connection with the operation of the Casino Component in the
ordinary course of business, but not expenses which are contemplated to be paid or
reimbursed via disbursements made pursuant to Section 2.6.2 hereof or funds on
deposit in any of the Reserve Accounts. In the event that any funds comprising the Gaming
Account are used for purposes other than Permitted Gaming Expenses or any cash receipts
attributable to gaming activities at the Property are transferred to any account other than
the Lockbox Account, Borrowers shall provide notice to Lender on the same Business Day on
which any Borrower shall obtain actual knowledge of the same.

12.3.3. Gaming Borrower may from time to time request in writing that the Minimum
Gaming Account Balance be increased and Lender shall have the right to accept or reject such
request in its sole discretion, provided that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and
then be continuing, Lender shall not unreasonably reject such request in the event Borrowers
shall establish that absent any such increase, Borrowers will not be in compliance with the
Gaming Liquidity Requirement or other applicable Gaming Laws.

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT

Section 14.1. Amendment and Restatement. Borrowers and Lender hereby agree that the
Second Amended and Restated 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 Second Amended and Restated Loan

 

241

 

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 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 Property, IP or other assets owned by such Funding Borrower (whether by
foreclosure, deed 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 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 payment in full by the Mezzanine Borrowers of the Mezzanine Loans or (b) the date which
is 366 days after the 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 Property, IP or assets in an
amount equal to the Reimbursement Contribution payment required hereunder that such Defaulting
Borrower failed to make; provided, however, if

 

242

 

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 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 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 15.4. 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 15.6. 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 all amounts then due
and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, and 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 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.

Section 15.8. Waivers. With respect to the agreements set forth in this Article XV
only, each Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

15.8.1. any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other
Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue
any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against any Borrower;

 

243

 

15.8.2. the defense of the statute of limitations in any action against any other
Borrower or for the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any obligation
under the Loan or the repayment of any Contribution and/or collection of any Reimbursement
Contribution;

15.8.3. 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;

15.8.4. 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;

15.8.5. 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;

15.8.6. 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;

15.8.7. presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;

15.8.8. 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;

15.8.9. 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;

15.8.10. 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;

15.8.11. any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code;

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

15.8.13. any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

244

 

15.8.14. any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of
Lender for any reason;

15.8.15. any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, 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;

15.8.16. any defense or benefit based upon any Borrower’s, or any other party’s,
resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Security Instruments
to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party;

15.8.17. 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;

15.8.18. 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 Mortgage 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

15.8.19. 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 Property or any portion thereof.

ARTICLE XVI.

and provisions is a material condition and inducement to Lender’s willingness to enter into this
Agreement and the restructuring of the Loan contemplated herein, (iii) Lender has relied upon the

ARTICLE II.

GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrowers.

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 $200,000,000.00, 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 $177,956,341.32. 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.

 

49

 

(a) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the date hereof to and
excluding January 1, 2010 at the rate of LIBOR plus 5.20%. Interest on the Outstanding Principal
Balance shall accrue from January 1, 2010 to and excluding the Maturity Date at the Monthly
Interest Rate.

(b) Interest on the Initial Interest Differential Amounts and the Subsequent Interest
Differential Amounts shall accrue from and after the date hereof at the Monthly Interest Rate. All
interest accruing on the Initial Interest Differential Amounts or on the Subsequent 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 Initial Interest
Differential Amounts or the Subsequent 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 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 $$564,329.17.

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, 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

 

50

 

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 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

 

51

 

supporting detail reasonably requested by Borrowers), shall be conclusive, provided that
such amounts are determined on a reasonable basis.

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

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

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

 

52

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

53

 

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
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.

 

54

 

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 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

 

55

 

not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such
downgrade.

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

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

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

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

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

(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).

 

56

currently used) or such Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan or Mortgage Borrowers ability to repay
the Mortgage Loan.

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

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrowers have (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the
Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their 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

 

79

 

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, or the Collateral,
(b) the enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien
created under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, or (c) the
ability of such Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material
respects, its respective obligations under each of the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan
Documents, as applicable.

4.1.9 No Plan Assets. From the Closing Date and throughout the term of the Loan (a)
no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will
constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101, (c) no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) none of the assets of any Borrower constitute “plan assets” of a

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

correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent in all material respects

 

80

applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an
independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with the Uniform
System of Accounts and reconciled with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed
therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances and except as referred to or reflected in said
financial statements previously delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, no Loan Party has
any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or
unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to any Borrower
and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Collateral or any Property or
(a) the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal

limitation, expansion of the Hotel/Casino Property, restaurants, retail and residential complexes
(the “Permitted Adjacent/Café Uses”). Since the date of such financial statements, there has been
no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of any Loan Party or,
to each Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, to the Collateral and, to the extent not
prohibited by the Merger Agreement, any Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to

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

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.

4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. Other than the assignment in favor of Mortgage Lender
under the Mortgage Loan Documents, there are no prior assignments by Mortgage Borrowers of the

ARTICLE V.

COVENANTS OF BORROWERS

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

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply, or
cause Mortgage Borrowers to comply, in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable
to such Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers, the Collateral, the Properties or the IP, including, without
limitation, Prescribed Laws. There shall never be committed by any Borrower, and no Borrower
shall, nor shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, knowingly permit any other Person in occupancy of or
involved with the operation or use of any of the Properties to commit, any act or omission
affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against
the Collateral and/or any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of any
Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents or paid in performance of Mortgage
Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants
and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of
forfeiture. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, at all times maintain,
preserve and protect in all material respects all franchises and trade names and preserve all the
remainder of its property necessary for the conduct of its business as contemplated hereunder, and,
subject to Mortgage Borrowers’ right to demolish the Improvements on the Adjacent Property subject
to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.18 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, shall
keep the Properties in good working order and repair in all material respects, and from time to
time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrowers shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and
reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other
insurance, as is more fully provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall cause
Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties in accordance with the terms and provisions of the O&M
Agreements in all material respects. After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own
expense, may contest, or may cause Mortgage Borrowers to contest, by appropriate legal proceeding
promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal
Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to any Loan Party, the Collateral or the
Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) no Event of
Default, Mortgage Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any

 

93

 

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

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

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers
to pay, all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Properties or any part thereof prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall
begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers’ obligation to
directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Mortgage Borrowers comply with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or Borrowers comply with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers will deliver, or will cause
Mortgage Borrowers to deliver, to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to
Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrowers
shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to Lender receipts for the payment of
the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall
begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers shall not be
required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid
by Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or by Lender pursuant to
Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers shall not suffer, and shall not permit
Mortgage Borrowers to suffer, and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide
reasonable security for) any Lien or charge against any of the Properties or the Collateral, and
shall promptly pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay, for all utility services
provided to any of the Properties. After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense,
may contest, or may cause Mortgage Borrowers to contest, by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly
initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application
in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Event of Default,
Mortgage Event of Default or Mezzanine Event of Default exists; (b) such proceeding shall be
permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which
such Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and

shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Property
and the Collateral; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
furnish, such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by
Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and
penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the
claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement
of such claimant is established or the Collateral or any Property (or part thereof or interest
therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall
be any imminent danger of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement being primed by any related Lien.

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

disbursed to the Cash Management Account or otherwise to be paid to Borrowers or Lender pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents (including the Mortgage Loan Agreement and/or the Mortgage

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

5.1.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate, and shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to reasonably cooperate, fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings
before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which in any way materially affects the
rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents
and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such
proceedings.

(c) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall submit to Lender (and
Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to submit to Mortgage Lender) an Annual Budget not later

(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

combined with any disbursements made with respect to Pre-Opening Expenses in such calendar month do
not exceed $586,000 in the aggregate) but shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(h)
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
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of Borrowers; provided,
however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial
statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any
period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in

 

98

 

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 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.

 

99

Business Days after Borrowers’ written request therefor, delivered together with any documents or
information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder in connection with Lender’s review of
the proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination. If the correspondence
from Borrowers requesting such approval contains the following statement at the top of the first
page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO
EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL
SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender shall fail to respond to or to expressly deny such request
for approval in writing (stating in reasonable detail the reason for such disapproval) within ten
(10) Business Days after receipt of Borrowers’ written request therefor together with the documents
and information required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing
prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period in order to adequately review the
same, then Borrowers shall re-submit such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major
Lease termination and accompanying information to Lender with a request for approval containing the
following statement at the top of the first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type
lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING
WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender does not respond
to such second request by approving such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease
termination or stating its objection thereto within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of
such second submission, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall not permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to enter into a
lease of all or substantially all of any Property without Lender’s prior consent.

5.1.21 Alterations. Other than the construction of the Project, which shall be
governed by the provisions of Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall, or shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to, obtain Lender’s prior consent to any material alterations to any
Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

103

 

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 Mortgage Borrowers are
required to and do deliver such security to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and
(ii) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the delivery of such
security by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender, then Borrowers shall not be required to deliver
any such security to Lender. Such security (if given as set forth above) shall be in an amount
equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on
the applicable Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the
Leases) over the Alteration Threshold Amount and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such
alterations.

(ii) none of the assets of such Borrower constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of Section

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

 

114

 

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

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

(collectively, the “Mortgage Distributions”), shall become part of the Collateral.

(b) If any Mortgage Distributions shall be received by any Borrower or any Affiliate of any
Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower
shall hold, or shall cause the same to be held, in trust for the benefit of Lender. Any and all

provided that the Loan shall have been (or shall simultaneously be) paid in full in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement (including the Accrued Interest, the Exit Fee or any other amounts due

interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan (other than any passive minority interest in the holder
of the Mortgage Loan obtained by any Person), via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and
any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrowers shall have failed to comply with

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

 

122

 

renewal Policies, Borrowers may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the
original Policies when issued.

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

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

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

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

Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or
in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that such Property
resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such
Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (to the extent such
alterations are of a type that would require Lender’s approval under Section 5.1.21 hereof) and
otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A)
Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes
of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage
Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds
available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Borrowers shall not be required to cause Mortgage
Borrowers to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made
available to Mortgage Borrowers. It is expressly understood, however, that Mortgage Borrowers
shall not be obligated to restore

 

123

 

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

 

124

 

Borrowers. If such Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the
receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency
judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a
portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt (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.

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

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

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

Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund,

by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later
than the date on which the applicable Reserve Fund is required for payment of an obligation for
which such Reserve Fund was created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or
other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of
the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund). No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve
Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.9. 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

 

129

 

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).

in Section 4.1.30 hereof, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the request
of Lender, Borrowers deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion, or a
modification of the Insolvency Opinion, to the effect that such breach shall not in
any way impair, negate or amend the opinions rendered in the Insolvency Opinion,
which opinion or modification and the counsel delivering such opinion or
modification shall be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion;

(x) with respect to any term, covenant or provision set forth herein which
specifically contains a notice requirement or grace period, if any Borrower shall be
in default under such term, covenant or condition after the giving of such notice or
the expiration of such grace period;

 

131

 

(xi) if any of the assumptions contained in the Insolvency Opinion delivered to
Lender in connection with the Loan, or in any Additional Insolvency Opinion
delivered subsequent to the closing of the Loan, is or shall become untrue in any
material respect;

(xii) if a material default by any Mortgage Borrower has occurred and continues
beyond any applicable cure period under any Management Agreement (or any Replacement
Management Agreement) and as a result of such default the Manager thereunder
terminates or cancels such Management Agreement (or any Replacement Management
Agreement);

(xiii) if (A) a material default by Gaming Borrower or any other Gaming
Operator has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure period under the
Casino Component Lease (or any similar replacement Lease for purposes of operating
the Casino Component) and as a result of such default the Gaming Borrower or any
other Gaming Operator thereunder terminates or cancels such Casino Component Lease
(or any similar replacement Lease for purposes of operating the Casino Component) or
(B) without Lender’s prior written consent, Hotel/Casino Borrower or Gaming Borrower
shall terminate (or consent to or approve any such termination), change, modify or
amend the Casino Component Lease or any similar replacement Lease, consented to by
Lender, for purposes of operating the Casino Component, other than ministerial
non-monetary amendments or modifications;

(xiv) if any Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower fails to comply in any material
respect with the covenants as to Prescribed Laws set forth in Section 5.1.1
hereof and such failure to comply continues after ten (10) Business Days notice
thereof;

(xv) except as otherwise contemplated by the Loan Documents, if Hotel/Casino
Borrower ceases to do business as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal to
Comparable Hotel/Casinos, including, without limitation, comparable food and
beverage outlets and other amenities, (other than temporary cessation in connection
with any diligent Restoration of the Hotel/Casino Property following a Casualty or
Condemnation) and such failure continues after thirty (30) days notice from Lender
thereof; provided, however, that if any such failure is susceptible
of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and
provided, further, that Borrowers shall have caused Mortgage
Borrowers to commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and
shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, such thirty
(30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for
Mortgage Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such
additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days, subject to Excusable Delay;

(xvi) if a material default by Hotel/Casino Borrower has occurred and continues
beyond any applicable cure period under the Liquor Management Agreement (or any

applied other than in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6.1(c) of the

Gaming Borrower fails to cure any such misapplication within five (5) Business Days
of the earlier of (1) the date on which Mortgage Lender notifies Gaming Borrower of
the same or (2) Borrower’s actual knowledge of such misapplication or (B) Gaming
Borrower fails to notify Lender of any such misapplication as required under and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3.2 of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement;

(xviii) if at any time during the term of the Loan, for any reason (including,
without limitation, the revocation, suspension or surrender of any required
Governmental Approval), (A) the Gaming Operating Condition is not satisfied, or (B)
any Gaming License or finding of suitability held by the Gaming Operator shall be
materially adversely modified, denied, suspended, revoked or canceled or allowed to
lapse or if a notice of a material violation is issued under any Gaming License by
the issuing agency or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, or any
proceeding is commenced by any Governmental Authority for the purpose of modifying
in any materially adverse respect, suspending, revoking or canceling any Gaming
License in any materially adverse respect, in each case, which is not stayed within
sixty (60) days after commencement thereof and the result of which is reasonably
likely to be Mortgage Borrowers’ inability to continue to conduct gaming operations
at the Hotel/Casino Property; provided, however, that during the
course of any of the foregoing, substantially the same gaming operations are
permitted to continue to operate at the Hotel/Casino Property, or any Governmental
Authority shall have appointed a conservator, supervisor or trustee with respect to
the Casino Component or the Hotel/Casino Property;

Mortgage as and to the extent required pursuant to Section 12.1(e) hereof;

(xxii) in the event that Gaming Borrower, any other Mortgage Borrower or any
Affiliate thereof shall ever become the Liquor Manager, if Gaming Borrower, such
other Mortgage Borrower or such Affiliate thereof thereafter shall fail to provide
liquor management services following an Event of Default or following the transfer
of the Hotel/Casino Property to a Mortgage Lender Successor Owner as and to the
extent required pursuant to Section 5.1.23(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and
Section 5.1.23(c) hereof;

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

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

(xxv) if the Liens created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan

interest effective under the Gaming Laws or if there shall be a default under the
Pledge Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods contained in the
Pledge Agreement;

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

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

(xxviii) if Borrowers fail to comply with the provisions of Section
2.7.2(b)(xii) hereof.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) and at any time thereafter, in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents or at law or in equity, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

 

134

 

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

Section 8.2 Remedies.

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

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

 

135

 

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 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

 

136

 

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

 

137

 

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 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;

(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

 

138

 

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

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

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

(b) Lender shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses (excluding fees and
expenses of 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

 

139

 

as such modification shall not have a materially adverse effect on Borrowers. Borrowers shall
cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If any Borrower fails to cooperate with Lender
within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as each
Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating,
the foregoing power of attorney being coupled with an interest.

Section 9.3 Securitization Indemnification.

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

(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, Borrowers shall provide in connection with each of (i) a
preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or
prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrowers have examined such
Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that to each Borrower’s actual knowledge, each such
Disclosure Document, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors,
HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator
and/or the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact in each Borrower’s actual knowledge necessary in order to make the statements made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, (B)
jointly and severally indemnifying Lender 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 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

 

140

 

order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable
legal or other reasonable expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers
will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent
that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in
connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with
respect to any of the Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which any Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses
(B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification
agreement is provided.

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

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

 

141

 

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 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.

 

142

 

(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) 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,

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);

(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

 

144

 

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;

(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;

(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;

(xvii) as a result of the imposition of any tax provided in NRS §§375.020 and
375.023 with respect to the merger transaction contemplated under the Merger
Agreement and/or the subsequent conveyance of the Hotel/Casino Property (A) to HRHH
Gaming Junior Mezz, LLC, and then (B) to Gaming Mezz Borrower, and then (iii) to
Hotel/Casino Borrower, provided, however, that any liability under
this clause (xvii) shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Debt;
and/or

(xviii) as a result of Adjacent Borrower selling or attempting to sell any
Partial Release Parcel (including, without limitation, the sale of approximately

meets the definition of a “Partial Release Parcel” under this Agreement) in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5.1(f) of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, as applicable, rather than pursuant to a customary direct deed transfer,
including, without limitation, (A) the imposition of any tax (including interest and
penalties) provided in NRS §§375.020 and 375.023, (B) in connection with any

 

145

 

Bankruptcy Action filed by or against any Subsidiary Transferee prior to or
following the consummation of such sale, and/or (C) in connection with any delay in
accomplishing any of the steps identified in said Section 2.5.1(f) of the Mortgage
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

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 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 Loan Party, HRHI or both Guarantors, by any
other Person (other than if filed by or on behalf of Lender) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) any Loan Party, HRHI or both Guarantors, or any
Affiliate of any of them who Controls any Loan Party, consenting to or acquiescing or joining in an

appointment at the request or petition of Lender); (v) any Loan Party, HRHI or both Guarantors
voluntarily making an assignment for the benefit of creditors (other than Lender), or admitting, in
writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become
due; and/or (vi) Gaming Mezz Borrower failing to comply, or cause compliance by the applicable
Mortgage Borrower, 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
Guaranty and the Construction Completion Guaranty, (2) HRHI’s obligations under

 

146

 

the HRHI Guaranty, and (3) with respect to the DLJ Guarantor, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners
IV, L.P., MBP IV Plan Investors, L.P., DLJMB HRH Co-Investments, L.P., DLJ Offshore Partners IV,
L.P., and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners IV (Pacific), L.P. (such limited partnerships,

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.

cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at the request of Lender, terminate the Liquor Management Agreement
and replace the Liquor Manager thereunder with a Qualified Liquor Manager pursuant to a Replacement
Liquor Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such
Qualified Liquor Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates; provided,
however, that in no event shall Hotel/Casino Borrower be required to terminate such Liquor
Manager if such immediate termination would require cessation of liquor-related activities at any
of the Properties and, in such event, (i) such termination shall occur immediately upon the ability
of Hotel/Casino Borrower to transfer such liquor operations to a Qualified Liquor Manager as
required herein, and (ii) Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at its sole cost and

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 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

148

 

send any payments required to be made hereunder to Lender or any predecessor Person servicing
the Loan.

WAIVER BY THE OTHER.

 

153

 

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 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

 

154

 

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 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

 

155

 

Loan Document in connection with any request or approval sought by Borrowers, and Lender shall
be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining
of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation; provided, however, that
Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Rating
Agency surveillance charges.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

156

 

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
with the construction or rehabilitation of the Project or for debts or claims accruing to any such
Persons against Mortgage Borrowers or Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan
Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the
Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of
action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any
Major Contractor or other Trade Contractor, or any of their respective creditors, or any other
Person.

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

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

 

157

 

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 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.

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

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

 

158

 

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, including, without limitation, (i) the Commitment Letter dated May 11, 2006 between
Morgans Hotel Group Co., MHG HR Acquisition Corp and Lender, and (ii) the Commitment Letter dated
December 22, 2006 between Morgans Hotel Group Co., MHG HR Acquisition Corp, DLJ Merchant Banking,
Inc. and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. The representations, covenants,
warranties and obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.

Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(a) subject to applicable Gaming Laws, the right to routinely consult with and advise each
Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial
developments of each Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not
include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.
Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with
Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable
advance notice;

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and
records of each Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports,
including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management
report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including
any similar right), to approve any acquisition by any Borrower of any other significant property
(other than personal property required for the day to day operation of any Property).

The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which
owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

Section 10.25 Note Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain on behalf of
Borrowers pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 10.25, or cause to be maintained,
(i) a copy of each assignment of all or any portion of the Note (an “Assignment Agreement”)
delivered to it and (ii) a register within the meaning of US Treasury Regulation Section
5(f).103-1(c) (the “Register”), in which it will register the name and address of Lender and the
name and address of each assignee of Lender under this Agreement, and the principal amount of the
Loan owing to each such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and of each Assignment Agreement.
Borrowers, Lender and the Administrative Agent may not treat any Person whose name is not recorded
in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for the purposes of this

 

159

 

Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary or any notation of ownership or other
writing on the Note. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at
Administrative Agent’s principal place of business, at any reasonable time and from time to time,
upon reasonable prior notice. Borrowers hereby appoint Administrative Agent as their agent for
purposes of compliance with US Treasury Regulation Section 5(f).103-1(c) and Administrative Agent
hereby accepts such appointment.

ARTICLE XI.

MORTGAGE LOAN AND MEZZANINE LOANS

Section 11.1 Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan Deliveries.

(a) Promptly after receipt, Borrowers shall deliver (or cause Mortgage Borrowers, Second
Mezzanine Borrowers or Third Mezzanine Borrowers, as applicable, to deliver) to Lender a true,
correct and complete copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence
(including electronically transmitted items) received from (i) Mortgage Lender by any Mortgage
Borrower or any guarantor under the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) Second Mezzanine Lender by any
Second Mezzanine Borrower or any guarantor under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, or (iii)

(b) Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1.11

Mezzanine Borrowers, as applicable, to deliver) to Lender all of the financial statements, reports,
material certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by (i) Mortgage
Borrowers to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents as and when due under the Mortgage
Loan Documents, (ii) Second Mezzanine Borrowers to Second Mezzanine Lender under the Second
Mezzanine Loan Documents as and when due under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, and (iii) Third
Mezzanine Borrowers to Third Mezzanine Lender under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents as and when

Section 11.2 Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan Estoppels.

(a) After written request by Lender but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)
month period, Borrowers shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to) from time to time, use
reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the
status of the Mortgage Loan and compliance by Mortgage Borrowers with the terms of the Mortgage
Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that
Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to
deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such
obligation, then Borrowers shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrowers furnish to
Lender estoppels executed by Borrowers and Mortgage Borrowers expressly representing to Lender the
information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mortgage Loan and the compliance by
Mortgage Borrowers with the

 

160

 

terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby jointly and severally indemnify Lender
from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or
causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and
reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually
incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition
or circumstance relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by
Borrowers in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from, such estoppel executed by
Borrowers and Mortgage Borrowers.

(b) After written request by Lender but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)
month period, Borrowers shall (or shall cause Second Mezzanine Borrowers to) from time to time, use
reasonable efforts to obtain from Second Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect
to the status of the Second Mezzanine Loan and compliance by Second Mezzanine Borrowers with the
terms of the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the
event or to the extent that Second Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such
estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such
estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrowers shall not be in breach of this
provision so long as Borrowers furnish to Lender estoppels executed by Borrowers and Second
Mezzanine Borrowers expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding
the status of the Second Mezzanine Loan and the compliance by Second Mezzanine Borrowers with the
terms of the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby jointly and severally indemnify
Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments,
actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement
costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event,
condition or circumstance relating to the Second Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any
material respect by Borrowers in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from, such estoppel
executed by Borrowers and Second Mezzanine Borrowers.

(c) After written request by Lender but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)
month period, Borrowers shall (or shall cause Third Mezzanine Borrowers to) from time to time, use
reasonable efforts to obtain from Third Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to
the status of the Third Mezzanine Loan and compliance by Third Mezzanine Borrowers with the terms
of the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to
the extent that Third Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel
certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel
certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrowers shall not be in breach of this provision
so long as Borrowers furnish to Lender estoppels executed by Borrowers and Third Mezzanine
Borrowers expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status
of the Third Mezzanine Loan and the compliance by Third Mezzanine Borrowers with the terms of the
Third Mezzanine Loan Documents. Borrowers hereby jointly and severally indemnify Lender from and
against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes
of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and
other

 

161

 

professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or
asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition or circumstance
relating to the Third Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrowers
in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from, such estoppel executed by Borrowers and
Third Mezzanine Borrowers.

Section 11.3 Mortgage Loan Defaults.

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

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

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

(d) Borrowers hereby indemnify Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands,
costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees,
whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the
foregoing actions described in Section 11.3(a). Lender

 

162

 

shall have no obligation to any Loan Party or any other party to make any such payment or
performance.

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

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

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

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

Section 11.5 Independent Approval Rights.

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

(b) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the
Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining
whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent

 

163

 

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

Section 11.6 Intercreditor Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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, or (ii) the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full (without a
prepayment of the Loan in full), Lender shall have the right to require Borrowers to establish and
maintain accounts that would operate in 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

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 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

 

167

 

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 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.

 

168

 

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.

Section 15.8 Waivers. With respect to the agreements set forth in this Article XV
only, each Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person or
to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy
in Lender’s power before proceeding against any Borrower;

the collection of any indebtedness or the performance of any obligation under the Loan or the

guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of

 

169

 

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, 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;

 

170

 

(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.
