GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1. Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrowers.
64
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.
2.1.2. Acquisition Loan. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that, on the
Closing Date, Lender made the Original Acquisition Loan Advance to Borrowers in the
principal amount of $760,000,000.00, which Original Acquisition Loan Advance represented a
full disbursement of all proceeds of the Original Acquisition Loan. As a result of the
application of the Mezzanine Prepayments to the partial prepayment of the Original
Acquisition Loan on November 6, 2007, and the partial prepayment made with the Release
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
Acquisition Loan”). The Reduced Acquisition Loan is evidenced by the Reduced Acquisition
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
Reduced Acquisition Loan Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
Principal amounts of the Original Acquisition Loan or the Reduced Acquisition Loan which are
repaid for any reason may not be reborrowed. Lender did not fund any portion of the
Original Acquisition 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 Original Acquisition Loan did not constitute
a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA. Borrowers used the proceeds of the
Original Acquisition Loan to (a) directly or indirectly acquire the Properties and the IP,
(b) repay and discharge existing loans relating, directly or indirectly, to the Properties
and/or the IP, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts
provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the
Loan, as reasonably approved by Lender, as set forth on a sources and uses of funds schedule

provided in the Original Loan Agreement and herein, Lender agreed and hereby agrees to lend

Loan in a maximum principal amount not to exceed the Construction Loan Amount. As a result
of the partial prepayment of the Construction Loan made in connection with the sale of
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
Construction 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 Construction Loan will not constitute a
non-exempt prohibited
65
transaction under ERISA. Borrowers have used and shall use the proceeds of the
Construction Loan to pay Project Costs as contemplated hereunder. The Construction Loan
shall be advanced in accordance with the provisions of Article III hereof.
2.1.4. Maximum Aggregate Loan Amount. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the aggregate amount advanced under
the Reduced Acquisition Loan and the Construction Loan shall not under any circumstances
exceed the Loan Amount. Other than the disbursement of the Original Acquisition Loan
Advance made on the Closing Date and any Construction Loan Advances made pursuant to the
Original Loan Agreement or this Agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to loan any
additional funds in respect of the Loan.
Section 2.2. Interest Rate.
2.2.1. Interest Generally. Interest on each of the Reduced Acquisition Loan
Outstanding Principal Balance and the Construction Loan Outstanding Principal Balance shall
accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest
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 Xxxxx’x, 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 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention:
Xxxxx Xxx, 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)

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.

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
then outstanding, until the First Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (B) First Mezzanine
Lender shall then disburse any remainder 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

Mezzanine Lender shall then disburse any remainder 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)
Third Mezzanine Lender shall then disburse the balance, if any, to Borrowers;
(b) Intentionally Deleted;
(c) all Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration, and as to which Lender
has not otherwise elected in its sole discretion to make available for Restoration, shall be
applied first, to the Debt (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee and any related Breakage
Costs), in such order, priority and proportion as Lender shall elect in its discretion from time to

Document on any Property or the IP.

the amount of all reasonable and customary closing costs in connection with
such Release Parcel Sale actually paid by any Borrower to any Person who is

execute and deliver, such documents and instruments, and taken such further actions, and caused any
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
payable to such Release Parcel Purchaser be delivered to Lender and be used as a prepayment of the
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
that any such net proceeds of any such subsequent sale shall be deemed a part of the
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
fees and actual out-of-pocket reasonable third party expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
(A) reviewing and processing any Sale Request with respect to a Release Parcel Sale, whether or not
the Release Parcel Sale which is the subject of a Sale Request actually closes, (B) the
satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5.1(a), and (C) providing

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

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.

following which (A) the unfunded
106
portion of the Construction Loan shall be held in accordance with the provisions of
Sections 7.7 and 7.8 hereof and shall constitute a Reserve Fund for all purposes
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (B) all subsequent Construction Loan
Advances shall be advanced from the Construction Loan Reserve Account until there are no funds
remaining on deposit therein, subject, in each instance, to the satisfaction of all conditions to

Construction Loan Advances for all purposes under this Agreement (except where specifically
excluded) notwithstanding that they are being advanced out of a Reserve Fund).
(e) Intentionally Deleted.

Outstanding Principal Balance) upon the making of such Construction Loan Advance by Lender, it
being understood and agreed that the Subsequent Construction Loan Reserve Disbursements are not to

date of the Draw Request for such Construction Loan Advance, minus (i) with respect to any
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

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
Letter of Credit on deposit with Lender as of the date hereof representing the Required Equity
Amount and any Required Equity Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms
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
Required Equity Letter of Credit with a voluntary prepayment of the Loan,
the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and the Third Mezzanine
Loan in an aggregate amount equal to such Required Equity Letter of Credit,
which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section

determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8
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
shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Required Equity Letter
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.

of changes in circumstances or conditions which are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement).

therefrom shall have been fully Restored, or (iii) Net Proceeds in an amount sufficient for
Restoration shall have been received by Borrowers or Lender as required pursuant to this Agreement.

the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any such condition or requirement.
Section 3.6. Procedures for Construction Loan Advances.
(a) At such time as Borrowers shall desire to obtain a Construction Loan Advance (other than

(30) days, Borrower shall complete, execute and deliver to Lender and Construction Consultant a
Draw Request not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the requested Construction
Loan Advance (the “Requested Disbursement Date”).
(b) In addition to the conditions set forth in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, as

conditions precedent:
(i) The amount of any Construction Loan Advance shall not exceed the unfunded amount of the

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 xxxx 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
no longer constitute a deposit for purposes of the foregoing limit.
(e) Provided that all of the conditions for the disbursement of Construction Loan Advances set
forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and/or 3.4 hereof, as applicable, have been satisfied,
Lender shall make the Construction Loan Advance on the Requested Disbursement Date. Each
Construction Loan Advance shall be made by wire transfer to a checking account of Borrowers or, at
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
applicable Construction Loan Advance, (c) the Construction Consultant, to pay its fees, (d)
Lender’s counsel, to pay its fees, (e) the Administrative Agent, to pay its Administrative Agent
Fee, (f) Lender, to pay (i) the Unused Advance Fee, (ii) any expenses incurred by Lender which are
reimbursable by Borrowers under the Loan Documents, provided that Borrowers shall
theretofore have received notice from Lender that such expenses have been incurred and Borrowers
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

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

Agreement):

132
4.1.4. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule VIII attached
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
or the IP.
(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.

meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.

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

Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such
Policies.

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
(ii) the Café Property and the Adjacent Property for one or more Permitted Adjacent/Café

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

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.

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).

5.1.6. 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.

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

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.

(d) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an

(e) In the event that any Borrower must incur any Extraordinary Expense, then such Borrower

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).

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.

of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the IP Assignments, subject only to Liens

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.

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.

(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

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

connection with any Securitization, (a) one or more Officer’s Certificates certifying as to

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

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

(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,

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
of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management
Agreement to which it is a party and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its
material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under its
Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each
financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received
by it under its Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the
material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by the Manager under its
Management Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner.
(c) Hotel/Casino Borrower shall at all times operate and maintain (or cause to be operated and
maintained) the Hotel/Casino Property and the Casino Component as a hotel and casino resort in
accordance with standards at least equivalent to the Comparable Hotel/Casinos. The theme of the
Hotel/Casino Property and the Casino Component shall not be materially changed without the prior
written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Hotel/Casino Borrower
shall cause the Hotel/Casino Property to be at all times open for business as a hotel and the
Casino Component to be open at all times for business as a casino, other than as provided under the
Casino Component Lease, pursuant to Legal Requirements, temporary closures as a result of Casualty
or other events outside the reasonable control of Borrowers.
160
5.1.23. Liquor Management at Hotel/Casino Property.
(a) Unless and until Hotel/Casino Borrower has obtained all Governmental Approvals necessary
to provide all alcoholic beverage services provided at the Hotel/Casino Property as of the Closing
Date, Hotel/Casino Borrower shall cause all alcoholic beverage services at the Hotel/Casino
Property to be managed by a Liquor Manager in accordance with a Liquor Management Agreement and
Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to conduct and/or to cause to be conducted
the alcoholic beverage services at the Hotel/Casino Property in such a manner so as to maximize
Gross Income from Operations at the Properties in the aggregate. In the event that a Liquor
Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Hotel/Casino
Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of any Liquor Management
Agreement, if applicable, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement),
Hotel/Casino Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Liquor Management Agreement with the
Liquor Manager or another Qualified Liquor Manager, as applicable.

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

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

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;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made

pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy such Property, and (4)
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)
$1,300,000.00 per year until such time as Borrowers are required to carry so-called builder’s risk
coverage with respect to construction of the Project pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and
(B) $3,900,000.00 per year at all times following such time as Borrowers are required to carry
so-called builder’s risk coverage with respect to construction of the Project pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement;
(xi) crime coverage in an amount not less than (A) Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000)

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

000
xxxxx 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

thereto within seven (7) days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission. The Policies shall be
issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the
State and having a claims paying ability rating of (i) “A-” or better (and the equivalent thereof)

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

if Xxxxx’x 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

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 Xxxxx 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 xxxx, 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 xxxx, 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:

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
