the event that the Administrative Agent receives a Stop Funding Notice from the Disbursement Agent in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Disbursement Agreement, none of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, or shall have any obligation to, advance the Loans associated with such Stop Funding Notice; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be obligated to make any payments due pursuant to Section 2.21 as a result thereof.
2.6 Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments from time to time during the Swing Line Credit Commitment Period by making swing line loans ("Swing Line Loans") to the Borrower; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender's other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. During the Swing Line Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only.
(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
2.7 Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Refunding of Swing Line Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Loans it shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Swing Line Credit Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swing Line Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a $100,000 multiple in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swing Line Loan to be made by the Swing Line Lender; provided, that the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Swing Line Lender's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's or Lenders' participation in such Swing Line Loans. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in a Funding Account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.
(b) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day's notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the "Refunded Swing Line Loans") outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the
47
repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower's accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans.
(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b) (the "Refunding Date"), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the "Swing Line Participation Amount") equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans.
(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender's Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Revolving Credit Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.
(e) Each Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Revolving Credit Lender); (v) any reduction or termination of the Commitments; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
48
2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and (iii) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.2 and the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender on the Term Loan Termination Date. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit G-1, G-2 or G-3 hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (such notes, respectively, "Term Notes", Revolving Credit Notes" and "Swing Line Notes").
2.9 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee (the "Revolving Commitment Fee") for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof; provided, however, that any Revolving Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, except to the extent that such Revolving Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided, further, that no
49
such Revolving Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period, computed at the Term Loan Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Term Loan Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof; provided, however, that any such commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided, further, that no such commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers, the Managers and the Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Arrangers, the Managers and the Agents including, without limitation, pursuant to the Facility Fee Letter.
(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, pursuant to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.
2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, (x) after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments or (ii) if prior to the Completion Date, the Remaining Costs would exceed the Available Funds or the Required Minimum Contingency would exceed the Unallocated Contingency Balance or (y) such termination or reduction is not permitted by the Disbursement Agreement (while in effect). Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof (or, if less, shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments to zero), and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall (i) designate whether the Borrower is prepaying Revolving Credit Loans and/or Term Loans and (ii) specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless all Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
50
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof.
2.12 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(b) With respect to the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale as to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party making such Asset Sale has not delivered a Reinvestment Notice within the period required therefor such Net Cash Proceeds (or portion thereof not subject to such a Reinvestment Notice) shall be applied, within one Business Day of the expiration of the aforesaid required period for delivery of a Reinvestment Notice with respect to such Asset Sale, on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(g); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing prepayment requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $5,000,000 in any Fiscal Year and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(g).
(c) No later than (i) the Business Day following the date on which funds, whether representing the proceeds of Loans or otherwise, are returned or distributed to the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders under the Disbursement Agreement (whether pursuant to Section 2.10 thereof or otherwise), (ii) the Business Day following the date on which Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans under Section 5.21 of the Disbursement Agreement, (iii) the Business Day following the date on which Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds are required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.24(f), (iv) the Business Day following the date on which any Loan Party receives Liquidated Damages (provided, that to the extent such Liquidated Damages are paid pursuant to any obligation, default or breach, the results of which can be remedied through the expenditure of money, and the applicable Loan Party determines in its reasonable judgment to undertake such remedy, the Liquidated Damages subject to this subsection (iv) shall be net of reasonable amounts that such Loan Party anticipates to incur in connection with such remedy (such amounts, the "Reinvested Amounts"); provided, further, that in the event such Loan Party has not expended, any Reinvested Amounts in furtherance of such remedy by the date that is six months after a Loan Party initially received the relevant Liquidated Damages or, in the case of any Reinvested Amounts to be expended in furtherance of such remedy pursuant to a contract entered into during such six-month period, such amounts have not been expended by the date that is twelve months after a Loan Party initially received the relevant Liquidated Damages, such non-expended amounts shall be applied on the secured Business Day following such sixth-month or twelve-month, as the case may be, anniversary date to the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(g)(ii)), (v) the Business Day following the date on which amounts related to the initial working capital for the Project under Sections 2.9(e) and 2.11 of the Disbursement Agreement are required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans or (vi) the Business Day following the date on which Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds are required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.24(a) or 2.24(h), the Borrower shall prepay and the Administrative Agent shall apply such funds toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments (or with respect to
51
subsections (c)(i), (c)(iii) and (c)(v) above, prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments)), in each case as set forth in Section 2.12(g).
(d) If, for any Fiscal Year commencing with the Fiscal Year in which the Completion Date occurs, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the applicable Loan Parties to, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(g). Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an "Excess Cash Flow Application Date") no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Loan Parties referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the Fiscal Year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the requirements of this subsection (d) shall be terminated and no longer be applicable if for any Fiscal Year the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Borrower as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is not greater than 2.5 to 1.0.
(e) If, on any date after Loans have been made hereunder, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall receive any Extraordinary Deposit Receipts, the Borrower or such Loan Party shall apply, on such date, the amount of such Extraordinary Deposit Receipts toward the prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(g).
(f) If on the last day of any period of four full consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower ending on a Quarterly Date the Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower for such four full consecutive fiscal quarter period was equal to or greater than $275,000,000, the Borrower shall apply any amounts on deposit in the Project Liquidity Reserve Account on the Liquidity Reserve Payment Date toward the prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments) and the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(g).
(g) Subject to Section 2.18, amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and/or Commitment reductions made pursuant to this Section 2.12 or Section 7.2(i) shall be applied (i) in the case of Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(b) or 7.2(i), first, to the prepayment of Term Loans and the permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments pro rata based on the Total Revolving Credit Exposure and the Total Term Loan Exposure, and second, to the Borrower or such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled thereto, (ii) in the case of Sections 2.12(c)(ii), 2.12(c)(iv), 2.12(c)(vi) and 2.12(d), first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans, second, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments and, third, to the Borrower or such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled thereto and (iii) in the case of Sections 2.12(c)(i), 2.12(c)(iii), 2.12(c)(v), 2.12(e) and 2.12(f), first, to the prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments), second, to the prepayment of Term Loans, and third, to the Borrower or such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled thereto (provided, that in the case of subsections (i) and (ii) above, prior to the Completion Date, no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Remaining Costs shall exceed the Available Funds or the Required Minimum Contingency shall exceed the Unallocated Contingency Balance; provided, further, that, in such event, amounts allocable to the termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments that are not so applied due to the first proviso hereof shall nonetheless be applied to prepay Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments)). Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the foregoing shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so
52
reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in immediately available funds in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing first priority security interest (subject to no other Liens other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(k) in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure all L/C Obligations from time to time outstanding and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(k) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount of such excess over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless the Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment to the applicable Lender on the amount prepaid.
2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Other than with respect to Swing Line Loans which shall at all times be Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
53
2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.
2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or an Event of Default has otherwise occurred and is continuing, all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder (in accordance with Section 2.9 or otherwise) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.0% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0%), in each case, with respect to subsections (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) or so long as such Event of Default is continuing.
(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations, if any, used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
54
2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 2.18(c), each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Loans, and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.
(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) of Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Term Loans (provided that the final payment of Term Loans on the Term Loan Termination Date shall be treated as an "installment" for purposes of this subsection (b)) (i) pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments in the case of mandatory prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.12(e) and (ii) in the inverse order of the scheduled maturities of such installments in the case of all other mandatory prepayments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender.
55
(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);
56
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and setting forth in such notice, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the additional amounts sought), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as set forth in the aforesaid notice; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
57
authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Arranger's, such Agent's, such Manager's or such Lender's having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts that would have been received hereunder or under any other Loan Document had such withholding not been required; provided, however, that the Borrower or a Guarantor shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Arranger's, such Agent's, such Manager's or such Lender's failure to comply with the requirements of subsection (f) or (g) of this Section 2.20, or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender at the time such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Arranger's, such Agent's, such Manager's or such Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.20(a). The Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall make any such required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(b) If any Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2.20, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower or such Guarantor, then such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount as such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, determines in good faith to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in the same position it would have been in if the payment of such tax and any payment by the Borrower or such Guarantor under this Section 2.20 had not been made. Subject to this Section 2.20(b), upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or a Guarantor, the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall at its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower or a Guarantor with a view to obtaining a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes with respect to which the Borrower or a Guarantor has paid any amounts pursuant to Section 2.20 and which the Borrower or a Guarantor, on advice of counsel, reasonably believes were not correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
(c) Subject to subsection (f) below, the Borrower shall indemnify each Arranger, each Agent, each Manager and any Lender for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes to the extent payable but not paid by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to Section 2.20(a) and paid by such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under Section 2.20(a) or this Section 2.20(c) and any penalties, additions to tax interest and related expenses attributable to such Non-Excluded Taxes). Payment under this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the date any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amounts demanded. Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20(a) shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or a Guarantor if the
58
making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue.
(d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower or a Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower or such Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof.
(e) The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two duly completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest," a Form W-8BEN and a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, or any subsequent versions of any of the foregoing or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and on or before the date of the first payment to it following the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office pursuant to Section 2.23 hereof. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). If a Non-U.S. Lender is unable to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.20(f), such Non-U.S. Lender shall be entitled to neither relief from withholding nor indemnity hereunder with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes for the period that would have been covered by such form, unless (i) such Non-U.S. Lender's inability to deliver such form resulted from a change in law after the date on which such Lender became a Lender hereunder or as a result of a change in the circumstances of the Borrower or any Guarantor or the use of proceeds of such Non-U.S. Lender's loans or (ii) such Non-U.S. Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to the indemnity afforded hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
(g) Each Arranger, Agent, Manager and Lender that is entitled to an exemption from non-U.S. withholding taxes under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or a Guarantor is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the relevant Guarantor(s), as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Guarantor(s), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding; provided, that such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such
59
documentation and in such Person's judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Person.
(h) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall pay all Non-Excluded Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
2.21 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (whether as a result of a Stop Funding Notice or otherwise), (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, then (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.
2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower or a Guarantor, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations or rights of any Borrower or Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22.
2.24 Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds. (a) This Section 2.24 shall apply to all Insurance Proceeds and all Eminent Domain Proceeds received by any Loan Party after the Final Completion Date. Any such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds (other than those described in subsection (b) below and those that the Administrative Agent is required to deliver to the FF&E Agent pursuant to the FF&E Intercreditor Agreement) shall be applied to the prepayment of
60
the Obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.12 and 2.18, unless, subject to Section 2.24(h) in the case of Eminent Domain Proceeds with respect to the Phase II Land, each of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by the Majority Initial Arrangers (and the Required Lenders, as applicable) as required pursuant to Section 2.24(c) or 2.24(d), within 30 Business Days (or, in the case of Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds described in Section 2.24(d), 60 Business Days) after any Loan Party's receipt of such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, in which event such amounts shall be applied to the repair or restoration of the Project in accordance with the terms of such Sections:
(i) such damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain does not constitute the destruction of all or substantially all of the man-made portion of the Project;
(ii) neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from such damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain) and after giving effect to any proposed repair and restoration, no Default or Event of Default will result from such damage or destruction or proposed repair and restoration or Event of Eminent Domain;
(iii) the Borrower and the Construction Consultant certify, and the Majority Initial Arrangers (with, if applicable, the consent of the Required Lenders) determine in their reasonable judgment, that repair or restoration of the Project to a condition substantially similar to the condition of the Project immediately prior to the event or events to which the relevant Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, as the case may be relate, is technically and economically feasible within a twelve-month period and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the relevant Loan Party to make such repairs and restorations;
(iv) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a plan describing in reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected and the anticipated costs and schedule associated therewith (the "Repair Plan"), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Initial Arrangers (and, if applicable, the Required Lenders);
(v) the Borrower certifies, and the Majority Initial Arrangers (with, if applicable, the consent of the Required Lenders) determine in their reasonable judgment, that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower to make all payments on Indebtedness which will become due during and following the repair period and, in any event, to maintain compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.1 during such repair period;
(vi) no Permit is necessary to proceed with the repair and restoration of the Project and no material amendment to the Project Documents, or, except with the consent of the Required Lenders, this Agreement or any of the Loan Document, and no other instrument is necessary for the purpose of effecting the repairs or restoration of the Project or subjecting the repairs or restoration to the Liens of the applicable Security Documents and maintaining the priority of such Liens or, if any of the above is necessary, the Borrower and/or the appropriate Loan Party will be able to obtain the same as and when required;
(vii) the Majority Initial Arrangers shall receive such additional title insurance, title insurance endorsements, mechanic's lien waivers, certificates, opinions or other matters as they may reasonably request (or, if applicable, as the Required Lenders may request) as necessary or appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration of the Project or to preserve or protect the Lenders' interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral; and
(viii) the proposed repair or restoration is permitted by each of the other Financing Agreements.
61
(b) If there shall occur any damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) for any single loss or series of related losses not in excess of $15,000,000 are payable, such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Funding Account and released by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Loan Party(ies) in amounts from time to time necessary to make payments for work undertaken towards repair, restoration or reconstruction necessitated by such event(s), upon presentation of documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent supporting such requested payments.
(c) Provided that the conditions set forth in subsection (a) above have been waived by the Majority Initial Arrangers, or have been acknowledged by such Persons as having been satisfied, which acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, if there shall occur any damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) for any single loss or series of related losses in excess of $15,000,000, but not in excess of $30,000,000, are payable, such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by relevant Loan Party(ies) shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Funding Account and released by the Administrative Agent to relevant Loan Party(ies) in accordance with subsection (e) below.
(d) Provided that the conditions set forth in subsection (a) above have been waived by the Majority Initial Arrangers and the Required Lenders, or have been acknowledged by such Persons as having been satisfied, which acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, if there shall occur any damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) for any single loss or series of related losses in excess of $30,000,000 are payable, such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Funding Account and released by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Loan Party(ies) in accordance with subsection (e) below.
(e) Except as provided in Section 2.24(b), amounts which are to be applied to repair or restoration of the Project pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Funding Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.24(e). From time to time the Administrative Agent's authorization of release of Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds for application toward such repairs or restoration shall be conditioned upon the relevant Loan Party's delivery to the Administrative Agent of (i) a certificate from the Borrower (I) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected with such release and certifying that such repairs or restoration are materially consistent with, and shall be undertaken in accordance with, the Repair Plan, (II) stating the cost of such repairs or restoration, which shall be no less than the amount of Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds requested in such release, and that such requested release amount will be applied to the cost thereof, (III) stating that the aggregate amount requested in respect of such repairs or restoration (when added to any other Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) or otherwise made available to the Project in respect of such damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain) does not exceed the cost of such repairs or restoration and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the relevant Loan Party(ies) to complete such repair or restoration, and (IV) stating that neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from such damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain (provided, that in any event no Default or Event of Default under Sections 7.1 or 8(a) shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) such documents, certificates and
62
information of the type described in Section 2.24(a)(vii) as the Majority Initial Arrangers may reasonably request and (iii) in the event such repairs or restorations relate to damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain of the type described in Section 2.24(d), all other documents, certificates and information with respect to such Insurance Proceeds, Eminent Domain Proceeds, repair and/or restoration as the Majority Initial Arrangers may reasonably request as necessary or appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration of the Project or to preserve or protect the Lenders' interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral.
(f) If, after Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds have been applied to the repair or restoration of the Project as provided in this Section 2.24, any excess Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12.
(g) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from the damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain giving rise to the receipt of such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds (but in any event including any Default or Event of Default under Sections 7.1 or 8(a))), then any provisions of this Section 2.24 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds may be applied by the Administrative Agent (i) to curing such Event of Default, and any Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be applied as provided in this Section 2.24 or (ii) if such Event of Default cannot be cured, toward payment of all other Obligations of the Borrower, in connection with exercise of the Lenders' remedies pursuant to Section 8.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.24, all Eminent Domain Proceeds received by any Loan Party with respect to the Phase II Land (including, without limitation, the Phase II Land Building) shall be applied to the prepayment of Obligations of the Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.12 and 2.18.
3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby and commercial letters of credit ("Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Letter of Credit Commitment Period (provided, that until the Total Term Loan Extensions of Credit equals the Total Term Loan Commitments, Letters of Credit shall not be available to the Borrower hereunder) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero, (iii) if such issuance is prior to the Debt Service Availability Date, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time and (y) [36,800,000] or (iv) if such issuance is during the Additional Completion Period, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time and (y) $3,000,000. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the extension of the expiry date thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in subsection (y) above).
63
(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.
3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. (a) Prior to the Completion Date, and, to the extent the Letter of Credit is being utilized in furtherance of the payment or support for Project Costs, after the Completion Date but prior to the Final Completion Date, the Borrower may request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender and the Disbursement Agent, in each case in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4 of the Disbursement Agreement such Notice of Advance Requests in the form, at the times and as required under the Disbursement Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Disbursement Agreement to the contrary, such Notice of Advance Requests and the related Advance Confirmation Notices from the Disbursement Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Disbursement Agreement must be received by the Issuing Lender at least 3 Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Lender) prior to the proposed date of issuance (in addition to such other documents, certificates, documents and papers as the Issuing Lender may request) and must contain all the information relevant to the proposed Letter of Credit issuance as set forth in a Letter of Credit Request.
(b) On or after the Completion Date, the Borrower may request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, at least 3 Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Lender) prior to the proposed date of issuance (such proposed date to be a Business Day), a Letter of Credit Request accompanied by such other documents, certificates, documents and papers as the Issuing Lender may request. Letter of Credit Requests may be delivered by facsimile transmission.
Promptly after the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit (in any event upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 or 5.3, as the case may be), the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders, in writing of such issuance or amendment and if so requested by any such Lender the Administrative Agent shall furnish such Lender with a copy of such issuance or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to make any Letters of Credit available to the Borrower at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Issuing Lender's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's or Lenders' participation in such Letters of Credit.
3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower shall pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any such fee accrued with respect to any Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by such Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no such fee shall accrue for the benefit of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum on the aggregate drawable amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit (but in any event not less than $500.00 per annum per Letter of Credit), payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit.
64
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender, regardless of the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, upon demand, at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations and make payments pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the reduction or termination of the Commitments, any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person or any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Revolving Credit Lender), and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the
65
Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing subsections (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the "Payment Amount"). Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, for the account of the Issuing Lender, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Issuing Lender promptly upon receipt at its address for notices specified herein in like funds as received. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in subsection (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.
3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance with the standards or care specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft or other form of demand shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
66
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

4.1 Financial Condition.
The restated audited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Valvino and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income and of cash flows for the Fiscal Years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated and consolidating financial condition of Valvino and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated and consolidating results of its operations and its consolidated and consolidating cash flows for the respective Fiscal Years then ended. The unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Valvino and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2002, and the related unaudited consolidated and consolidating statements of income and cash flows for the 6-month period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated and consolidating financial condition of Valvino and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated and consolidating results of its operations and its consolidated and consolidating cash flows for the 6-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Valvino and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph or that have not otherwise been disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing. During the period from January 1, 2002 to and including the Closing Date there has been no Disposition by Valvino or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property.
4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2001, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

67
that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party and the Completion Guarantor has the corporate or limited liability company power, as the case may be, and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party and the Completion Guarantor has taken all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as the case may be, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the other Operative Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower and Capital Corp., to authorize the borrowings and issuances of Indebtedness on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Operative Documents. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any Person (other than a Loan Party) is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any of the other Operative Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have, unless otherwise indicated on Schedule 4.4, been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document and other Operative Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Completion Guarantor and each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document, Project Document and Operative Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Completion Guarantor and each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against the Completion Guarantor and each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other Operative Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and the Other Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Financing Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7 No Default. Neither the Completion Guarantor nor any Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Loan Parties is the sole owner of, legally and beneficially, and has good, marketable and insurable title to, or has a valid leasehold interest in, all its Real Estate, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other Property, and none of such Property is subject to any claims, liabilities, obligations, charges or restrictions of any kind, nature or description (other than claims, liabilities, obligations, charges or restrictions that individually or in the
68
aggregate could not reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the business or assets of any Loan Party), or to any Lien except for Permitted Liens. None of the Pledged Stock is subject to any Lien except for Permitted Liens.
4.9 Intellectual Property. (a) Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No claim has been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except (i) with respect to the Intellectual Property related to or otherwise associated with the Loan Parties' use of the "Le Reve" name, such claims that, if determined adversely to a Loan Party, could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Loan Party's ability to use the "Le Reve" name in its Permitted Business as currently used or contemplated to be used and (ii) with respect to all other Intellectual Property, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use by each Loan Party of the Intellectual Property related to or otherwise associated with such Loan Party's use of the "Le Reve" name does not infringe on the rights of any Person, which infringement could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Loan Party's ability to use the "Le Reve" name in its Permitted Business as currently used or contemplated to be used. The use by each Loan Party of Intellectual Property other than Intellectual Property related to or otherwise associated with such Loan Party's use of the "Le Reve" name, does not infringe on the rights of any Person, which infringement could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.9(b) (i) identifies each of the trademarks, service marks and trade name applications and registrations registered by, made by or otherwise held, directly or indirectly, by each of the Loan Parties and identifies which such Person registered, made or otherwise holds such Intellectual Property, and (ii) specifies as to each, the jurisdiction in which such Intellectual Property has been issued or registered (or, if applicable, in which an application for such issuance or registration has been filed), including the respective registration or application numbers and applicable dates of registration or application and expiration.
(c) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.9(c) (i) identifies each of the patents and patent applications owned by, made by or otherwise held, directly or indirectly, by each of the Loan Parties and identifies which such Person owns, made or otherwise holds such Intellectual Property, and (ii) specifies as to each, the jurisdiction in which such Intellectual Property has been issued or registered (or, if applicable, in which an application for such issuance or registration has been filed), including the respective patent or application numbers and applicable dates of issuance or application and expiration.
(d) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.9(d) (i) identifies each of the material copyrights and copyright applications and registrations registered by, made by or otherwise held, directly or indirectly, by each of the Loan Parties and identifies which such Person registered, made or otherwise holds such Intellectual Property, and (ii) specifies as to each, the jurisdiction in which such Intellectual Property has been issued or registered (or, if applicable, in which an application for such issuance or registration has been filed), including the respective registration or application numbers and applicable dates of registration or application and expiration.
(e) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.9(e) (i) identifies, each of the material trade secrets owned by, claimed by, or otherwise held, directly or indirectly, by each of the Loan Parties and identifies which such Person registered, made or otherwise holds such Intellectual Property, and (ii) specifies as to each, the jurisdiction in which such Intellectual Property exists.
69
(f) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 4.9(f) identifies all licenses, sublicenses and other agreements relating to Intellectual Property to which any of the Loan Parties is a party that are material to the conduct of such Loan Party's Permitted Business and pursuant to which (i) any of the Loan Parties is a licensor or sub-licensor or the equivalent or (ii) any other Person is authorized to use any Intellectual Property as a licensee, sub-licensee or the equivalent.
4.10 Taxes. (a) Each of the Completion Guarantor and the Loan Parties has filed, or caused to be filed, all tax and informational returns that are required to have been filed by it in any jurisdiction, and all such tax and informational returns are correct and complete in all material respects. Each of the Completion Guarantor and the Loan Parties has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments payable by it, to the extent the same have become due and payable (other than (x) those taxes that it is contesting in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and (y) taxes that are not yet due, with respect to each of which it has established reserves that are adequate for the payment thereof and as are required by GAAP).
(b) Neither the Completion Guarantor nor any of the Loan Parties has incurred any material tax liability in connection with the Project or the other transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents which has not been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent (including as disclosed in the financial statements delivered to the Lenders hereunder).
(c) There are no Liens for Taxes on any of the Properties of the Completion Guarantor or any of the Loan Parties other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(a).
4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U) or for the purpose of purchasing, carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Borrower in a violation of Regulation X or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T. No indebtedness being reduced or retired out of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit was or will be incurred for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U). Following application of the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit, "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U) does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the direct and indirect use of proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit) will violate or result in a violation of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.
4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, stoppages, slowdowns or other labor disputes against any of the Loan Parties pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Loan Parties have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any of the Loan Parties on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Loan Party.
4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The actuarial present value of all benefit liabilities under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions that would be used to determine whether each such
70
Single Employer Plan could be terminated in a standard termination under Section 4041(b) of ERISA) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower, any other Loan Party nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower, any other Loan Party nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if any such Person were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the most recent valuation date for which each such Multiemployer Plan has furnished data regarding potential withdrawal liability to the applicable Loan Party. As of the Closing Date, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.
4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. Neither the Completion Guarantor nor any Loan Party is an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the Completion Guarantor nor any Loan Party is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, or the Interstate Commerce Act or registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness other than the Nevada Gaming Laws or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Incurrence of the Obligations by the Completion Guarantor and the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents complies with all applicable provisions of the Nevada Gaming Laws.
4.15 Subsidiaries. (a) The Persons listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of Valvino as of the Closing Date. Schedule 4.15 sets forth as of the Closing Date, the name and jurisdiction of formation of each Subsidiary of Valvino and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage and number of each class of Capital Stock owned by its requisite parent entity. Each such Subsidiary is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Valvino and, if such Subsidiary's direct parent entity is other than Valvino, its direct parent entity.
(b) There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors' qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of Valvino. None of the Subsidiaries of Valvino have issued, or authorized the issuance of, any Disqualified Stock.
(c) Neither Valvino nor any of its Subsidiaries are engaged in any businesses other than the Permitted Businesses. As of the Closing Date, other than, (i) in the case of Las Vegas Jet and World Travel, the Aircraft and Collateral related to the operation and maintenance of the Aircraft, (ii) in the case of Palo, the Palo Home Site Land, (iii) in the case of Xxxx Design, Property reasonably related to architectural, engineering, design and project management activities and (iv) in the case of Desert Inn Improvement, the DIIC Water Permits and the Water Utility Land, none of the Water Companies or the Xxxx Group Entities owns any material Property other than the Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries (if any).
4.16 Use of Proceeds; Letters of Credit. (a) The proceeds of the extensions of credit under this Agreement made prior to the Completion Date and amounts released from the Project Liquidity Reserve Account prior to the Completion Date shall be applied toward Project Costs in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement;
(b) The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans made after the Completion Date, the proceeds of the Swing Line Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used for general business purposes of the Borrower and, to the extent otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents, the other Loan Parties; provided, that such general business purposes are in furtherance of, or
71
associated with, the Permitted Business of such Persons; provided, further, that to the extent proceeds of extensions of credit made after the Completion Date but prior to the Final Completion Date are to be applied to Project Costs, such proceeds shall be applied to Project Costs in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement.
4.17 Environmental Matters. (a) To the knowledge of the Borrower, the Loan Parties: (i) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; and (ii) reasonably believe that material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws that is or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained.
(b) To the knowledge of the Borrower, Hazardous Substances are not present at, on, under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of the Loan Parties, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Hazardous Substances have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of any of the Loan Parties under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to any of the Loan Parties that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) materially interfere with any of the Loan Parties' continued operations, or (iii) materially impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by any of the Loan Parties.
(c) Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims) to which any of the Loan Parties is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.
(d) No Loan Party has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party, under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law.
(e) Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law or Environmental Claim.
(f) Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Hazardous Substances.
(g) Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) Hazardous Materials Activities are not presently occurring, and have not previously occurred, at, on, under, in, or about any Real Estate now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of the Loan Parties, and (ii) none of the Loan Parties have ever engaged in any Hazardous Materials Activities at any location.
4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the
72
Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of this Agreement), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above (including, without limitation, the Projections) are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to the Completion Guarantor or any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and written statements furnished to the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.
4.19 Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds and products thereof.

(j) Any of the Operative Documents shall terminate or be terminated or canceled, become invalid or illegal or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect prior to its stated expiration date or Wynn Resorts, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any other Person shall breach or default under any term, condition, provision, covenant, representation or warranty contained in any Project Document (after the giving of any applicable notice and the expiration of any applicable grace period); provided, that the occurrence of any of the foregoing events with respect to any Project Document (other than any Material Affiliated Contract) shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder only if the same could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and the same shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) the Borrower or any other Loan Party becoming aware of such occurrence or (ii) receipt by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of such occurrence; provided, however, that in the case of any such Project Document, if the occurrence is the result of actions or inactions by a party other than a Loan Party, then no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result thereof if the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent immediately upon (but in no event more than two (2) Banking Days after) the Borrower or any Loan Party becoming aware of such occurrence that the relevant Loan Party intends to replace such Project Document and (x) such Loan Party obtains a replacement obligor or obligors for the affected party, (y) such Loan Party enters into a replacement Project Document on terms no less beneficial to such Loan Party and the Secured Parties in any material respect than the Project Document being replaced within sixty (60) days of such occurrence; provided, however, that the replacement Project Document may require the applicable Loan Party to pay amounts under the replacement Project Document in excess of those that would have been payable under the replaced Project Document and (z) such occurrence, after considering any replacement obligor and replacement Project Document and the time required to implement such replacement, has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, further, that a breach, default or termination under any Construction Contract prior to the Completion Date shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder only to the extent such breach, default or termination constitutes a Disbursement Agreement Event of Default; or
(k) an "event of default" under and as defined in any of the Financing Agreements (other than the Loan Documents) (in any event, after the expiration of any applicable cure periods); or
(l) (i) A Change of Control shall occur; or (ii) a Specified Change of Control shall occur; or
111
(m) The Liens on the Property of the Completion Guarantor, the Loan Parties or Wynn Resorts, under the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the Mortgage Note Guarantee, in each case as permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(k), shall cease, for any reason, to be validly subordinated and junior in right to the Liens of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties on the Property of such Persons under the Loan Documents;
(n) Any Subordinated Debt or the Management Fees payable under the Management Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be validly subordinated to the Obligations of the Loan Parties as provided in the Management Agreement, the Management Fee Subordination Agreement and the documentation, instruments or other agreements related to the Subordinated Debt, as the case may be;
(o) A License Revocation that continues for three consecutive calendar days affecting gaming operations accounting for five percent or more of the consolidated gross revenues (calculated in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower related to gaming operations;
(p) The Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to observe, satisfy or perform, or there shall be a violation or breach of, any of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants or conditions attaching to or under the issuance to such Person of any Permit or any such Permit or any provision thereof shall be suspended, revoked, cancelled, terminated or materially and adversely modified or fail to be in full force and effect or any Governmental Authority shall challenge or seek to revoke any such Permit if such failure to perform, violation, breach, suspension, revocation, cancellation, termination or modification could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(p) The Completion Date shall not have occurred by the Scheduled Completion Date.
then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in subsection (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to Wynn Resorts or any Loan Party, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Facility Lenders for the respective Facility, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Facility Lenders for the respective Facility, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, to be terminated forthwith, whereupon applicable Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under the Security Documents (subject to applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and securing any required Nevada Gaming Approvals), including, without limitation, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Mortgages, or otherwise available under applicable law or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to (I) enter into possession of the Project and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Project or to operate and maintain the Project, and all sums expended by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in so doing, together with interest on such total amount at the highest default rate
112
provided hereunder, shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party upon demand and shall be secured by the Loan Documents, notwithstanding that such expenditures may, together with amounts advanced under this Agreement, exceed the total amount of the Commitments and (II) set off and apply all monies on deposit in any Account or any amounts paid under the Completion Guaranty or any other monies of a Loan Party on deposit with the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the satisfaction of the Obligations. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(k) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Loan Parties (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the consent of the Lenders (whether the Required Lenders, the Required Facility Lenders for a particular Facility or otherwise) is required in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to this Section 8, for purposes of determining the required lender consent pursuant to the applicable definitions thereto (whether the "Required Lenders", the "Required Facility Lenders" or otherwise), the Commitments of the Lenders shall be deemed terminated.
THE AGENTS; THE ARRANGERS; THE MANAGERS
9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.
9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
113
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Arranger, Manager or Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the party asserting liability) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Person or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Arrangers, the Managers or the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Person party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Agents, the Managers nor the Arrangers shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Person.
9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit.
9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the requisite Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
114
9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents, Managers, Arrangers and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Arranger, Agent or Manager hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party, the Completion Guarantor or any other Person, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Arranger, Agent or Manager to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Arrangers, the Agents and the Managers that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Arranger, Agent or Manager or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the Completion Guarantor and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of the Issuing Lender, its Letters of Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Arranger, Agent or Manager or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the Completion Guarantor and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Arranger, Agent or Manager shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or the Completion Guarantor or any other Person that may come into the possession of such Arranger, Agent or Manager or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Arranger, Agent and Manager in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Arranger, Agent or Manager in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Arranger, Agent or Manager under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from such Arranger's, Agent's or Manager's gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Lender. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Arrangers, Agents and Managers in Their Individual Capacities. Each Arranger, Agent and Manager and their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Arranger was not an Arranger, such Agent was not an Agent and such Manager was not a Manager. With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Arranger, Agent and Manager shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
115
as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Arranger, an Agent or a Manager, as the case may be, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include each Arranger, Agent and Manager in their respective individual capacities.
9.9 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.10 Authorization to Release Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien covering any Property of the Completion Guarantor, the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person that is the subject of a Disposition which is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1.
9.11 The Arrangers and Managers. Other than with respect to, in the case of the Arrangers, Sections 2.4, 2.24, 7.2(h) and 7.5, the Arrangers and the Managers, in their capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
9.12 Withholdings. (a) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.20(f) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
(b) If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.
116
(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Section 2.20(f) and this Section 9.12.
10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each other Person party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each other Person party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the other Persons hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders required pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.1); (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, Required Facility Lenders, Applicable Facility Lenders or Majority Initial Arrangers, consent to the assignment or transfer by any Person (other than a Lender) of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release a significant Guarantor from its guarantee obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case without the consent of all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders); (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the consent of any Arranger, Agent or Manager directly affected thereby (in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders required pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.1); (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender (in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders required pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.1); (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.12(g) or Section 2.18 without the consent of the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Facility directly affected thereby (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders required pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.1); (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the consent of the Issuing Lender (in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders required pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.1), (vii) amend, modify or waive any condition, provision or requirement to the funding of Loans or the issuance or amendment of Letters of Credit (whether pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, this Agreement or otherwise) without the consent of, (I) in the case of Term Loans, the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Term Loan Facility, (II) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (III) in the case of the issuance or amendment of Letters of Credit, the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (in each case such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders required pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 10.1) or (viii) amend, modify or waive any condition, provision or requirement set forth in Section 7.5 without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders; provided, however, that any Loan Conversion shall be at the sole discretion of the Majority Initial Arrangers and shall not require the consent of any other Lender pursuant to this
117
Section 10.1 or otherwise. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents, the Arrangers, the Managers and all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Managers and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the affected Facility and the Borrower (x) to permit a Revolving Credit Lender(s) or a Term Loan Lender(s), as the case may be (or other Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, who desires to become a Revolving Credit Lender or a Term Loan Lender, as the case may be), to increase its (their) Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be (or, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, acquire Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments as the case may be, in which case such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed a "Revolving Credit Lender" or "Term Loan Lender", as the case may be, hereunder) (all such increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this sentence, the "Increased Commitments") and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such Increased Commitments in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the applicable Facility; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence is intended, nor shall it be construed, to be a commitment or otherwise create an obligation on behalf of any Lender to make Increased Commitments; provided, further, that, as set forth in subsection (i) above, in no event shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased without such Lender's consent. Subject to subsection (vii) above, to the extent the Administrative Agent is entitled or required to make any determinations (whether a consent, waiver or otherwise) under the Intercreditor Agreements or the Disbursement Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make such determinations upon the advice of the Required Lenders.
10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed (a) in the case of the Borrower, the Arrangers, the Managers and the Agents, as follows and (b) in the case of the Lenders, as set forth on Schedule I to the Lender Addendum to which such Lender is a party or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Arrangers, the Agents and the Managers for all their reasonable and itemized out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to each of the Arrangers, the Agents and the Managers and the charges of IntraLinks and the fees, expenses and disbursements of consultants (including, without limitation, the Construction Consultant and any other engineering, insurance or construction consultants), (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, Arranger, Manager and Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to each Arranger, Manager and Agent and the charges of IntraLinks, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Arranger, Manager and Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Arranger, Agent, Manager, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, attorneys and other advisors, agents, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (each, an "Indemnitee") harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to or arising out of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party or any of their Properties or the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this subsection (d), collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in breach of a duty owed to the Borrower. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause the other Loan Parties not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause the other Loan Parties so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.

122
10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.
(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower, the Arrangers, the Agents and the Managers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided, that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
(c) Any Lender (an "Assignor") may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender, any Affiliate thereof or Affiliated Fund of the assigning Lender (provided, that if any funding obligations are assigned to an Affiliate of a Lender or Affiliated Fund, such Affiliate or Affiliated Fund, as applicable, shall have demonstrable resources to comply with such obligations) or of another Lender or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity that is an Eligible Assignee (an "Assignee") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and acceptance agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (an "Assignment and Acceptance"), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons)
123
and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or Affiliated Fund) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments or $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loan Commitments, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked "canceled". The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate of a Lender or an Affiliated Fund or with respect to the initial syndication of the Commitments), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Note, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Note, as the case may be, to such Assignee or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the Assignor or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans or Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, retained
124
by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.
10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10.10 Integration. Other than the promises, undertakings, representations or warranties set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the Facility Fee Letter, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers, the Managers and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Arranger, any Manager, any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 10.13, if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if the Administrative Agent fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.13 within any time period specified by the appropriate gaming authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the "Withdrawal Period"), the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the outstanding amount of all Revolving Extensions of Credit and Term Loans Extensions of Credit of such Former Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of any Withdrawal Period.

Changes in the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans or in the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate resulting from changes in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the first date (each such date, an "Adjustment Date") on which financial statements are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.1 with respect to each Quarterly Date (but in any event not later than the 45th day after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each Fiscal Year or the 90th day after the end of each Fiscal Year, as the case may be) and shall remain in effect until the next change to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified above, then, until such financial statements are delivered, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as at the end of the fiscal period that would have been covered thereby shall for the purposes of this definition be deemed to be less than [ ] to 1.0 and greater than [ ] to 1.0, respectively. In addition, at all times while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall for the purposes of this definition be deemed to be less than [ ] to 1.0 and greater than [ ] to 1.0, respectively. If on any Adjustment Date the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would result in different Applicable Margins or Revolving Commitment Fee Rates, the higher Applicable Margin or Revolving Commitment Fee Rate shall govern. Each determination of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio pursuant to this definition shall be made with respect to the period of four full consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower ending at the end of the period covered by the relevant financial statements (or such shorter period ending on any Quarterly Date and beginning on the first day of the first fiscal quarter which begins after the Opening Date); provided, that for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA in order to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for any period which is less than four full fiscal quarters, Consolidated EBITDA shall be calculated on an annualized basis.

Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, Trustor shall notify the Trustee and Beneficiary of the pendency of such proceedings. Trustor from time to time shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary all instruments requested by it to permit such participation; provided, however, that such instruments shall be deemed as supplemental to the foregoing grant of permission to Trustee and Beneficiary, and unless otherwise required, the foregoing permission shall, without more, be deemed sufficient to permit Trustee and/or Beneficiary to participate in such proceedings on behalf of Trustor.

As used herein, "transfer" includes the actual transfer or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, by law, or otherwise, except those transfers specifically permitted herein, provided, however, that "transfer" shall not include the granting of utility or other beneficial easements with respect to the Trust Estate which have been or are granted by Trustor and are reasonably necessary to the construction, maintenance or operation of the Project.
(b) Any Permitted Lien consisting of the lien of a deed of trust which is junior to the lien of the Loan Documents (including the Security Documents) (a "Subordinate Deed of Trust") shall be permitted hereunder so long as there shall have been delivered to Beneficiary, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date thereof, a copy thereof which shall contain express covenants in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary to the effect that: (i) the Subordinate Deed of Trust is in all respects subject and subordinate to this Deed of Trust; (ii) if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Deed of Trust (regardless of whether the same is a judicial proceeding or pursuant to a power of sale contained therein), no tenant of any portion of the Trust Estate shall be named as a party defendant nor shall any action be taken with respect to the Trust Estate which would terminate any occupancy or tenancy of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, without the consent of Beneficiary; (iii) any Rents, if collected through a receiver or by the holder of the Subordinate Deed of Trust, shall be applied first to the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including principal and interest due and owing on or to become due and owing on the Notes, the Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, and then to the payment of maintenance expenses, operating charges, taxes, assessments, and disbursements incurred in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Trust Estate; and (iv) if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Deed of Trust, prompt notice of the commencement thereof shall be given to Beneficiary.
(c) Trustor agrees that in the event the ownership of the Trust Estate or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Trustor, Beneficiary may, without notice to Trustor, deal in any way with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust, the Notes, the Guaranty, the other Loan Documents and other Obligations hereby secured without in any way vitiating or discharging Trustor's or any guarantor's, surety's or endorser's liability hereunder or upon the obligations hereby secured. No sale of the Trust Estate and no forbearance to any person with respect to this Deed of Trust and no extension to any person of the time for payment of the Obligations, and other sums hereby secured given by Beneficiary shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Trustor, or such guarantor, surety or endorser either in whole or in part.
(d) If Trustor shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it under any FF&E Financing Agreement, except where Trustor is contesting such payment in good faith, then the Beneficiary shall be entitled to make such payment on Trustor's behalf and any and all sums so expended by the Beneficiary shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be repaid by Trustor upon demand, together with interest thereon at the interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement from the date of advance.

(c) [Upon any modification of the boundaries of the Leased Premises (or any portion thereof), Trustor, at Trustor's expense, shall notify Beneficiary and amend this Deed of Trust to reflect an accurate description of the Leased Premises (or such portion thereof). In connection therewith, Trustor shall provide Beneficiary with such title insurance endorsements to Beneficiary's ALTA extended coverage Lender's Policy(ies) of Title Insurance as Beneficiary may reasonably request.]
1.12 Security Agreement and Financing Statements. Trustor (as debtor) hereby grants to Beneficiary (as creditor and secured party) a present and future security interest in all Tangible Collateral, Intangible Collateral, FF&E, Improvements, all other personal property now or hereafter owned or leased by Trustor or in which Trustor has or will have any interest, to the extent that such property constitutes a part of the Trust Estate (whether or not such items are stored on the premises or elsewhere), Proceeds of the foregoing comprising a portion of the Trust Estate and all products, substitutions, and accessions therefor and thereto, subject to Beneficiary's rights to treat such property as real property as herein provided (collectively, the "Personal Property").

Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary to file, on Trustor's behalf, all financing statements and refiling and continuations thereof as advisable to create, preserve and protect said security interest. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, authenticate or file, or authorize the filing of, any financing statements or other record with respect to the Personal Property (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), except as permitted by the Guaranty. Trustor approves and ratifies any filing or recording of records made by or on behalf of Beneficiary in connection with the perfection of the security interest in favor of Beneficiary hereunder. This Deed of Trust constitutes both a real property deed of trust and a "security agreement," within the meaning of the UCC, and the Trust Estate includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Trust Estate. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted to Beneficiary, as security of the Obligations, a security interest in the Trust Estate.
18
(a) Fixture Filing. Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph or of the definition of the Trust Estate, this Deed of Trust constitutes a fixture filing under Sections 9-334 and 9-502 of the UCC (NRS 104.9334 and 104.9502). For such purposes, (i) the "debtor" is Trustor and its address is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust; (ii) the "secured party" is Beneficiary, and its address for the purpose of obtaining information is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust; (iii) the real estate to which the fixtures are or are to become attached is Trustor's interest in the Site; and (iv) the record owner of such real estate or interests therein is Trustor [(with respect to the Land and as the lessor under the Subject Leases)].
(b) Remedies. This Deed of Trust shall be deemed a security agreement as defined in the UCC and the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall include any or all of (i) those prescribed herein, and (ii) those available under applicable law, and (iii) those available under the UCC, all at Beneficiary's sole election. In addition, a photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing wherever filing may be necessary to perfect or continue the security interest granted herein.
(c) Derogation of Real Property. It is the intention of the parties that the filing of a financing statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in anyway derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties hereto as hereinabove stated that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Trust Estate and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real property encumbered by this Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein or in any list filed with Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. It is the intention of the parties that the mention in any such financing statement of (1) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Trustor's interest as lessors in any present or future Space Lease or rights to Rents, shall never be construed as in anyway altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this Deed of Trust or impugning the priority of Beneficiary's real property lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) that notice of Beneficiary's priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to, the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government, must be filed in the UCC records.
(d) Priority; Permitted Financing of Tangible Collateral. All Personal Property of any nature whatsoever which is subject to the provisions of this security agreement shall be purchased or obtained by Trustor in its name and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, except for Permitted Liens and the lien hereof, for use only in connection with the business and operation of the Project, and shall be and at all times remain free and clear of any lease or similar arrangement, chattel financing, installment sale agreement, security agreement and any encumbrance of like kind, so that Beneficiary's security interest shall attach to and vest in Trustor for the benefit of Beneficiary, with the priority herein specified, immediately upon the installation or use of the Personal Property at the Site and Trustor warrants and represents that Beneficiary's security interest in the Personal Property is a validly attached and binding security interest, properly perfected and prior to all other security interests therein except as otherwise permitted in
19
this Deed of Trust. The foregoing shall not be construed as limiting Trustor's rights to transfer Personal Property pursuant to Permitted Dispositions or to obtain releases of Personal Property from the Lien of this Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof.
(e) Preservation of Contractual Rights of Collateral. Trustor shall, prior to delinquency, default, or forfeiture, perform all obligations and satisfy all material conditions required on its part to be satisfied to preserve its rights and privileges under any contract, lease, license, permit, or other authorization (i) under which it holds any Tangible Collateral or (ii) which constitutes part of the Intangible Collateral, except where Trustor is contesting such obligations in good faith.
(f) Removal of Collateral. Except for damaged or obsolete Tangible Collateral which is either no longer usable or which is removed temporarily for repair or improvement or removed for replacement on the Trust Estate with Tangible Collateral of similar function or as otherwise permitted herein, none of the Tangible Collateral shall be removed from the Trust Estate without Beneficiary's prior written consent.
(g) Change of Name. Trustor shall not change its corporate (or other entity) or business name, or do business within the State of Nevada under any name other than such name, or any trade name(s) other than those as to which Trustor gives prior written notice to Beneficiary of its intent to use such trade names, or any other business names (if any) specified in the financing statements delivered to Beneficiary for filing in connection with the execution hereof, without, in each case, providing Beneficiary with the additional financing statement(s) and any other similar documents deemed reasonably necessary by Beneficiary to assure that its security interest remains perfected and of undiminished priority in all such Personal Property notwithstanding such name change.
1.13 Assignment of Leases and Rents. Subject to Nevada Gaming Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, the assignment of Leases and Rents set out above in Granting Clause (G) shall constitute an absolute and present assignment to Beneficiary, subject to the license herein given to Trustor to collect the Rents, and shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of any party, and specifically Beneficiary shall be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder to all Rents and to enter upon the Site and the Improvements to collect such Rents, provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be obligated to take possession of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof. The absolute assignment contained in Granting Clause (G) shall not be deemed to impose upon Beneficiary any of the obligations or duties of Trustor provided in any such Space Lease (including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any lease in the event that any lessee shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title and interest and equity of redemption in the Trust Estate or any part thereof).
1.14 Expenses.
(a) Trustor shall pay when due and payable all out-of-pocket costs, including without limitation, those reasonable appraisal fees, recording fees, taxes, abstract fees, title policy fees, escrow fees, attorneys' and paralegal fees, travel expenses, fees for inspecting architect(s) and engineer(s) and all other costs and expenses of every character which may hereafter be incurred by Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary in connection with the preparation and execution of the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (including the Security Documents) to which Trustor is a party or instruments, agreements or documents of further assurance, the funding of the indebtedness secured hereby, and the enforcement of the Guaranty or any Loan Document (including any Security Document) to which Trustor is a party. Other than costs associated with the enforcement of any Loan Document, all such costs shall be itemized in reasonable detail; and
20
(b) Trustor shall, upon demand by Beneficiary, reimburse Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary for all such reasonable expenses which have been incurred or which shall be incurred by it; and
(c) Trustor shall indemnify Beneficiary with respect to any transaction or matter in any way connected with any portion of the Trust Estate, this Deed of Trust, including any occurrence at, in, on, upon or about the Trust Estate (including any personal injury, loss of life, or property damage), or Trustor's use, occupancy, or operation of the Trust Estate, or the filing or enforcement of any mechanic's lien, or otherwise caused in whole or in part by any act, omission or negligence occurring on or at the Trust Estate, including failure to comply with any Legal Requirement or with any requirement of this Deed of Trust that applies to Trustor, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Trustee or Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a party to any litigation as to which either Trustor is required to indemnify Beneficiary (or is made a defendant in any action of any kind against Trustor or relating directly or indirectly to any portion of the Trust Estate) then, at Beneficiary's option, Trustor shall undertake Beneficiary's defense, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary (and any settlement shall be subject to Beneficiary's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in any case shall indemnify Beneficiary against such litigation. Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal costs, that Beneficiary pays or incurs in connection with any such litigation. Any amount payable under any indemnity in this Deed of Trust shall be a demand obligation, shall be added to, and become a part of, the secured obligations under this Deed of Trust, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and, if not paid promptly following demand therefor (which demand shall, unless associated with Loan Document enforcement actions, set forth in reasonable detail an itemization of the amount so demanded) shall bear interest at the interest rate specified in the Credit Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive any release of this Deed of Trust and any foreclosure.
1.15 Beneficiary's Cure of Trustor's Default. If Trustor defaults hereunder in the payment of any tax, assessment, lien, encumbrance or other Imposition, in its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder, or in the performance or observance of any other covenant, condition or term of this Deed of Trust or any other Financing Agreement or any FF&E Financing Agreement, Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, to preserve its interest in the Trust Estate, perform or observe the same, and all payments made (whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments) and reasonable costs and expenses incurred or paid by Beneficiary in connection therewith shall become due and payable immediately. The amounts so incurred or paid by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement, from the date incurred until paid by Trustor, shall be added to the indebtedness and secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary, is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Site or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term, without thereby becoming liable to Trustor or any person in possession holding under Trustor. No exercise of any rights under this Section 1.15 by Beneficiary shall cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.
1.16 Use of Land. Trustor covenants that the Trust Estate shall be used and operated in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Loan Documents.
1.17 Compliance with Permitted Lien Agreements. Trustor shall comply with each and every material obligation contained in any agreement pertaining to a Permitted Lien.
1.18 Defense of Actions. Trustor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding affecting or purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including cost of title search and insurance or other evidence of title,
21
preparation of survey, and reasonable attorneys' fees in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear or may be joined as a party and in any suit brought by Beneficiary based upon or in connection with this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or any Loan Document to which Trustor is a party. Nothing contained in this section shall, however, limit the right of Beneficiary to appear in such action or proceeding with counsel of its own choice, either on its own behalf or on behalf of Trustor.
1.19 Affiliates.
(a) Subject to Trust Deed. Subject to compliance with the requirements of applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, Trustor shall cause all of its Affiliates in any way involved with the operation of the Trust Estate or the Project to observe the covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust to the extent necessary to give the full intended effect to such covenants and conditions and to protect and preserve the security of Beneficiary hereunder.
(b) Restriction on Use of Subsidiary or Affiliate. Except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty or the other Loan Documents (including any Security Document), Trustor shall not use any Affiliate in the operation of the Trust Estate or the Project if such use would in any way impair the security for the Obligations or circumvent any covenant or condition of this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or of any other Loan Document.
1.20 Title Insurance. On or promptly after the effective date of this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall cause to be delivered to Trustee at Trustor's expense, one or more ALTA extended coverage Lender's Policies of Title Insurance showing fee title to the real property situated in the County of Xxxxx, State of Nevada, more specifically described in Schedule A attached hereto, vested in Trustor and the lien of this Deed of Trust to be a perfected lien, prior to any and all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (excluding, however, any such non-Permitted Encumbrances for which the Title Insurer has agreed to provide an endorsement or affirmative coverage protecting the lien of this Deed of Trust against such non-Permitted Encumbrances).
1.21 [Leasehold Estates. Trustor represents, covenants and warrants: (a) that the Subject Leases are in full force and effect and unmodified; (b) Trustor will defend the leasehold estate under each Subject Lease for the entire remainder of the term set forth in each of the said Subject Leases against all and every Person or Persons lawfully claiming, or who may claim the same or any part thereof, subject to the payment of the rents in the Subject Leases reserved and subject to the performance and observance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties thereof; and (c) that there is no uncured default under any Subject Lease or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or warranties thereof on the part of the lessor or the lessee to be observed and performed and that no state of facts exist under a Subject Lease which, with the lapse of time or giving of notice or both would constitute a default thereunder.]
1.22 [Payment of Subject Leases Expenses. The Trustor shall pay or cause to be paid on or prior to the date due all rents, additional rents and other charges and Impositions payable by the lessor or the lessee under the Subject Leases for which provision has not been made hereinbefore, when and as often as the same shall become due and payable.]
22
1.23 [Trustor's Covenants with Respect to Subject Leases.
(a) Trustor shall at all times promptly and faithfully keep and perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all the covenants and conditions contained in the Subject Leases to be kept and performed by it under the Subject Leases and in all respects conform to and comply with the terms and conditions of the Subject Leases. Trustor shall, within ten days after written demand from Beneficiary, deliver to Beneficiary proof of payment of all items that are required to be paid by Trustor under the Subject Leases, including, without limitation, rent, taxes, operating expenses and other charges. Trustor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary copies of all notices given with respect to or which affect the Subject Leases including pleadings or notices of default given under the Subject Leases. Trustor further covenants that it shall not do or permit anything to occur or fail to occur which will impair or tend to impair the security of this Deed of Trust or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture or termination of either Subject Lease, and upon any such failure as aforesaid, Trustor shall be subject to all of the rights and remedies granted Beneficiary in this Deed of Trust.
(b) Except as otherwise permitted in the Loan Documents, Trustor shall not modify, extend or in any way alter the terms of the Subject Leases or cancel or surrender said Subject Leases or reject the Subject Leases in a case pending under the Bankruptcy Code, or waive, execute, condone or in anyway release or discharge the lessor thereunder of or from the obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements by said lessor to be done and performed; and Trustor does expressly release, relinquish and surrender unto Beneficiary all of its rights, power and authority to cancel, surrender, amend, modify or alter in any way the terms and provisions of the Subject Leases and any attempt on the part of Trustor to exercise any such right without the written approval and consent of Beneficiary thereto being first had and obtained shall constitute an Event of Default under the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents Documents and all Obligations and other sums secured hereby shall, at the option of Beneficiary, become due and payable forthwith. If Trustor becomes a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, Trustor shall assume and assign the Subject Leases to Beneficiary, and it further agrees that it shall not object to any request by Beneficiary that the Subject Leases not be rejected, or that Beneficiary be authorized to assume Trustor's rights under the Subject Leases.
(c) Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary an original executed copy of each Subject Lease, an estoppel certificate from the Lessor within ten (10) days of request by Beneficiary and in such form and content as shall be satisfactory to Beneficiary, as well as any and all documentary evidence received by it showing compliance by Trustor with the provisions of the Subject Leases.
(d) Trustor does hereby authorize and irrevocably appoint and constitute Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, in its name, place and stead, to take any and all actions deemed necessary or desirable by Beneficiary to perform and comply with all the obligations of Trustor under the Subject Leases, and to do and take upon the occurrence and during continuation of an Event of Default, but without any obligation so to do or take, any action which Beneficiary deems reasonably necessary to prevent or cure any default by Trustor under the Subject Leases, to enter into and upon the Site, the Project or the Improvements or any part thereof as provided in the Loan Documents in order to prevent or cure any default of Trustor pursuant thereto, to the end that the rights of Trustor in and to the leasehold estate created by the Subject Leases shall be kept free from default.
(e) In the event of any failure by Trustor to perform or cause the performance of any covenant on the part of lessor or lessee to be observed and performed under the Subject Leases, the performance by Beneficiary on behalf of Trustor of the applicable Subject Lease covenant shall not remove or waive, as between Trustor and Beneficiary, the corresponding Event of Default under the terms hereof and any amount so advanced by Beneficiary or any costs incurred in
23
connection therewith, with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to overdue principal under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute additional Obligations secured hereby and be immediately due and payable.
(f) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Trustor, or by any other party so entitled, in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, shall include all rents paid and other sums advanced by Beneficiary, on behalf of Trustor, as lessee under the Subject Leases.
(g) Trustor shall use all reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the lessor under the Subject Leases in a commercially reasonable manner.
(h) No release or forbearance of any of Trustor's obligations under the Subject Leases by the lessor thereunder, shall release Trustor from any of its obligations under this Deed of Trust.
(i) The lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to all of Trustor's rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Law, including, without limitation, all of Trustor's rights to remain in possession of the Leased Premises. Trustor shall not elect to treat the Subject Leases as terminated under section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Law, and any such election shall be void.
(i) If pursuant to section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law, Trustor shall seek to offset against the rent reserved in the Subject Leases the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the lessor or any other party of any of their respective obligations thereunder after the rejection by the lessor or such other party of the Subject Leases under the Bankruptcy Law, then Trustor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary of its intent to do so, setting forth the amount proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. Beneficiary shall have the right to object to all or any part of such offset that, in the reasonable judgment of Beneficiary, would constitute a breach of the Subject Leases, and in the event of such objection, Trustor shall not effect any offset of the amounts found objectionable by Beneficiary. Neither Beneficiary's failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Beneficiary.
(ii) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of the lessor under the Subject Leases or any other party or in respect of the Subject Leases in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Law, then Beneficiary shall have the option to intervene in any such litigation with counsel of Beneficiary's choice. Beneficiary may proceed in its own name in connection with any such litigation, and Trustor agrees to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents or other documents required by Beneficiary in connection therewith.
(iii) Trustor shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify Beneficiary of any filing by or against the lessor or any other party with an interest in the Leased Premises of a petition under the Bankruptcy Law. Trustor shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary, following receipt, copies of any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Trustor in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
(iv) If there shall be filed by or against Trustor a petition under the Bankruptcy Law, and Trustor, as lessee under the Subject Leases, shall determine to reject the Subject Leases pursuant to section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Law, then Trustor shall give Beneficiary a notice of the date on which Trustor shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Subject Leases (such notice to be no later than twenty (20) days prior to such date). Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Trustor at any time prior to the date on which Trustor shall so apply to the bankruptcy court a notice stating that Beneficiary demands that Trustor assume and assign the Subject Leases to Beneficiary pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Law. If Beneficiary shall serve upon Trustor the
24
notice described in the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted by law Trustor shall not seek to reject the Subject Leases and shall comply with the demand provided for in the preceding sentence. In addition, effective upon the entry of an order for relief with respect to Trustor under the Bankruptcy Law, Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary a non-exclusive right to apply to the bankruptcy court under section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Law for an order extending the period during which the Subject Leases may be rejected or assumed; and shall (a) promptly notify Beneficiary of any default by Trustor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Trustor to be performed or observed under the Subject Leases and of the giving of any written notice by the lessor thereunder to Trustor of any such default, and (b) promptly cause a copy of each written notice given to Trustor by the lessor under the Subject Leases to be delivered to Beneficiary. Beneficiary may rely on any notice received by it from any such lessor of any default by Trustor under the Subject Leases and may take such action as may be permitted by law to cure such default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof shall be questioned or denied by Trustor or by any Person on its behalf.
(k) Beneficiary shall have the right upon notice to Trustor to participate in the adjustment and settlement of any insurance proceeds and in the determination of any condemnation award under the Subject Leases to the extent and in the manner provided in the Subject Leases.]
1.24 Rejection of Subject Leases.
[To the extent applicable, if the lessor under the Subject Leases rejects or disaffirms the Subject Leases or purports or seeks to disaffirm the Subject Leases pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, then:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, Trustor shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises demised under the Subject Leases and shall perform all acts reasonably necessary for Trustor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Subject Leases (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Subject Leases require such acts or otherwise; and
(b) All the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust and the Lien created by this Deed of Trust shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Trustor's rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Trustor's rights to remain in possession of the Leased Premises.]
ARTICLE TWO
CREDIT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS
2.1 Interaction with the Guaranty
(a) Incorporation by Reference. All terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and requirements of the Guaranty are incorporated by reference in this Deed of Trust.
(b) Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Deed of Trust and those of the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or the Disbursement Agreement, the provisions of the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or the Disbursement Agreement, as applicable, shall govern.
2.2 Other Collateral. This Deed of Trust is one of a number of security agreements to secure the debt delivered by or on behalf of Trustor and other Persons pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the Security Documents) and securing the Obligations secured hereunder. All potential junior Lien claimants are placed on notice that, under any of the Loan Documents (including the Security Documents) (including a separate future unrecorded agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary), other collateral for the Obligations secured hereunder (i.e., collateral
25
other than the Trust Estate) may, under certain circumstances, be released without a corresponding reduction in the total principal amount secured by this Deed of Trust. Such a release would decrease the amount of collateral securing the same indebtedness, thereby increasing the burden on the remaining Trust Estate created and continued by this Deed of Trust. No such release shall impair the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust. By accepting its interest in the Trust Estate, each and every junior Lien claimant shall be deemed to have acknowledged the possibility of, and consented to, any such release. Nothing in this paragraph shall impose any obligation upon Beneficiary.
3.1 Event of Default. The term "Event of Default," wherever used in this Deed of Trust, shall mean any of (i) one or more of the events of default listed in the Credit Agreement (ii) so long as the Disbursement Agreement is in effect, one or more of the events of default listed in the Disbursement Agreement (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) or (iii) if any "borrower" (as that term is defined in NRS 106.310) who may send a notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(1), (x) delivers, sends by mail or otherwise gives, or purports to deliver, send by mail or otherwise give, to a beneficiary under this Deeds of Trust (A) any notice of an election to terminate the operation of this Deed of Trust as security for any secured obligation, including, without limitation, any obligation to repay any "future advance" (as defined in NRS 106.320) of "principal" (as defined in NRS 106.345), or (y) any other notice pursuant to NRS 106.380(l), (y) records a statement pursuant to NRS 106.380(3), or (z) causes this Deed of Trust, any secured obligation, or any Secured Party to be subject to NRS 106.380(2), 106.380(3) or 106.400.
4.1 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may (except that such acceleration shall be automatic if the Event of Default is caused by Borrower's or Trustor's Bankruptcy), in accordance with the Loan Documents, declare the Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration such principal and interest and other sums shall immediately become due and payable without demand, presentment, notice or other requirements of any kind (all of which Trustor waives) notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust or any Loan Document or applicable law to the contrary.
4.2 Protective Advances. If the Borrower or Trustor fails to make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Notes, Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any other Financing Agreement, then without thereby limiting Beneficiary's other rights or remedies, waiving or releasing any of Trustor's obligations, or imposing any obligation on Beneficiary, Beneficiary may either advance any amount owing or perform any or all actions that Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate to cure such default. All such advances shall constitute "Protective Advances." No sums advanced or performance rendered by Beneficiary shall cure, or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default.
4.3 Institution of Equity Proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for specific performance of this Deed of Trust, the Notes, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document), all of which shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or other equitable remedy. Trustor waives any defense based on laches or any applicable statute of limitations.
4.4 Beneficiary's Power of Enforcement.
26
(a) If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, to prepare and record on its own behalf, or to deliver to Trustee for recording, if appropriate, written declaration of default and demand for sale and written Notice of Breach and Election to Sell (NRS 107.080(3)) (or other statutory notice) to cause the Trust Estate to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and in the case of delivery to Trustee, Trustee shall cause said notice to be filed for record.
(b) After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said Notice of Breach and Election to Sell, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, including compliance with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, Trustee without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof at the time and place fixed by it in said notice, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder, of cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee may, for any cause it deems expedient, postpone the sale of all or any portion of said property until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of postponement shall be given by public announcement thereof at the time and place last appointed for the sale and from time to time thereafter Trustee may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser its Deed, Xxxx of Sale, or other instrument conveying said property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such instrument of conveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale.
(c) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses of Trustee or Beneficiary in connection with a sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement to the payment of all other sums then secured hereby and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto as provided in NRS 40.462.
(d) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if any Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Trust Estate, and without regard to whether or not the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action or proceeding to foreclose or any other action for any default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding: (1) to enforce payment of the Obligations, to the extent permitted by law, or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (2) to foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages or deeds of trust on real property and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada or under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in any such proceeding all costs and expenses incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees in such amount as shall be awarded by the court; (3) to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents; and (4) to pursue any other remedy available to it. Beneficiary shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Beneficiary may determine.
27
(e) The remedies described in this Section 4.4 may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the Personal Property, either simultaneously with the sale of any real property encumbered hereby or independent thereof. Beneficiary shall at any time be permitted to proceed with respect to all or any portion of the Personal Property in any manner permitted by the UCC. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary's inclusion of all or any portion of the Personal Property (and all personal property that is subject to a security interest in favor, or for the benefit, of Beneficiary) in a sale or other remedy exercised with respect to the real property encumbered hereby, as permitted by the UCC, is a commercially reasonable disposition of such property.
4.5 Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if an Event of Default occurs, (i) Trustor, upon demand of Beneficiary, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual possession and, if and to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Trust Estate including the Personal Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and may exclude Trustor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with Trustor to the books, papers and accounts of Trustor; and (ii) Trustor shall pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary on Beneficiary's entry into possession, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, all Rents then due and payable.
(b) If Trustor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Trust Estate, the Personal Property or any part thereof after Beneficiary's demand, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Beneficiary or Trustee the right to immediate possession or requiring Trustor to deliver immediate possession of all or part of such property to Beneficiary or Trustee and Trustor hereby specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary or Trustee, upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary or Trustee, their attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Beneficiary or Trustee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Trust Estate and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and without being under any duty to so act:
(1) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property;
(2) insure or keep the Trust Estate insured;
(3) manage and operate the Trust Estate and exercise all the rights and xxxxxx of Trustor in their name or otherwise with respect to the same;
(4) enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted Beneficiary or Trustee, all as Beneficiary or Trustee from time to time may determine; and, subject to the absolute assignment of the Leases and Rents to Beneficiary, Beneficiary or Trustee may collect and receive all the Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter; and shall apply the monies so received by Beneficiary or Trustee in such priority as Beneficiary may determine to (1) the payment of interest and principal due and payable on the Notes or the other Loan Documents, (2) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due, (3) the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and other proper charges upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof; (4) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the
28
agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary or Trustee; and (5) any other charges or costs required to be paid by Trustor under the terms hereof; and
(5) rent or sublet the Trust Estate or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted by this Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary or Trustee shall surrender possession of the Trust Estate and the Personal Property to Trustor only when all that is due upon such interest and principal, tax and insurance deposits, and all amounts under any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or this Deed of Trust, shall have been paid and all defaults made good. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
4.6 Leases. Beneficiary is authorized to foreclose this Deed of Trust subject to the rights of any tenants of the Trust Estate, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights shall not be, nor be asserted by Trustor to be, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the sums secured hereby or to collect any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof. Unless otherwise agreed by Beneficiary in writing, all Space Leases executed subsequent to the date hereof, or any part thereof, shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien of this Deed of Trust; provided, however that (i) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Beneficiary may be required to execute a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in connection with certain Space Leases; and (ii) from time to time Beneficiary may execute and record among the land records of the jurisdiction where this Deed of Trust is recorded, subordination statements with respect to such of said Space Leases as Beneficiary may designate in its sole discretion, whereby the Space Leases so designated by Beneficiary shall be made superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust for the term set forth in such subordination statement. From and after the recordation of such subordination statements, and for the respective periods as may be set forth therein, the Space Leases therein referred to shall be superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall not be affected by any foreclosure hereof. All such Space Leases shall contain a provision to the effect that the Trustor and Space Lessee recognize the right of Beneficiary to elect and to effect such subordination of this Deed of Trust and consents thereto.
4.7 Purchase by Beneficiary. Upon any foreclosure sale (whether judicial or nonjudicial), Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the property subject to such sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability.
4.8 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Trustor agrees to the full extent permitted by law that if an Event of Default occurs, neither Trustor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the absolute sale of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Trustor for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Trust Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Trustee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Trust Estate in part or as an entirety.
4.9 Receiver. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law and subject to compliance with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, and without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate and to collect all Rents and apply the same as the court may direct, and
29
such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon application by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may have a receiver appointed without notice to Trustor or any third party, and Beneficiary may waive any requirement that the receiver post a bond. Beneficiary shall have the power to designate and select the Person who shall serve as the receiver and to negotiate all terms and conditions under which such receiver shall serve. Any receiver appointed on Beneficiary's behalf may be an Affiliate of Beneficiary. The expenses, including receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, costs and agent's compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Trust Estate and to collect all Rents, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such Rents (including, without limitation, security deposits) actually received by Beneficiary, whether received pursuant to this section or any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Deed of Trust to, Beneficiary.
4.10 Suits to Protect the Trust Estate. Beneficiary shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Beneficiary, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable (a) to prevent any impairment of the Trust Estate by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Trust Estate, or (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other Legal Requirement that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Beneficiary's interest.
4.11 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, Insolvency, Bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting Trustor, or, to the extent the same would result in an Event of Default hereunder, any Subsidiary, or any guarantor, co-maker or endorser of any of Trustor's obligations, its creditors or its property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim or other documents as it may deem to be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Trustor under the Loan Document, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Trustor after such date.
4.12 Trustor to Pay the Obligations on Any Default in Payment; Application of Monies by Beneficiary.
(a) In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Trust Estate and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the sums secured hereby, Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce payment from Trustor of any additional amounts then remaining due and unpaid with respect to the Obligations and to recover judgment against Trustor for any portion thereof remaining unpaid, with interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
(b) Trustor hereby agrees to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary or other action by Beneficiary and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any Property of Trustor by Beneficiary (other than a foreclosure of the entire Trust Estate hereunder) shall in any way affect the Lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any Lien, rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such Lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
(c) Any monies collected or received by Beneficiary under this Section 4.12 shall be first applied to the payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents,
30
attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary, and the balance remaining shall be applied to the Obligations.
(d) The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the provisions of any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the other Loan Documents.
4.13 Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Beneficiary or any Bank to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to Beneficiary whether contained herein or in the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary.
4.14 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon. If Beneficiary or the required percentage of the Banks (as determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement), to the extent applicable under the Credit Agreement, (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Notes, the Credit Agreement, this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty, the Disbursement Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document); (d) releases any part of the Trust Estate from the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument securing the Obligations; (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the Site (to the extent such consent is required); (f) consents to the granting of any easement on the Site (to the extent such consent is required); or (g) makes or consents to any agreement changing the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document subordinating the lien or any charge hereof, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Trustor under the Guaranty, this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document) or otherwise, or any subsequent purchaser of the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any maker, co-signer, surety or guarantor. No such act or omission shall preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary, shall the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby, except to the extent expressly provided in any releases, maps, easements or subordinations described in clause (d), (e), (f) or (g) above of this Section 4.14. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Trust Estate, Beneficiary, without notice to any person, firm or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Trust Estate or the indebtedness secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the liabilities or undertakings hereunder, or waiving its right to declare such sale or transfer an Event of Default as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document), (i) in the case of any non-monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may continue to accept payments due or secured hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such or any other Event of Default and (ii) in the case of any monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may accept partial payments of any sums due or secured hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such Event of Default if the partial payment is not sufficient to completely cure such Event of Default.
4.15 Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry of judgment or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such
31
proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Beneficiary, then and in every such case Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken.
4.16 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy, including without limitation remedies with respect to any security for the Obligations, conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document) is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document), now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to resort to such rights, powers, remedies or security as Beneficiary shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable.
4.17 Interest After Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all sums outstanding and unpaid under the Obligations shall, at Beneficiary's option, bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement until such Event of Default has been cured. Trustor's obligation to pay such interest shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
4.18 Foreclosure; Expenses of Litigation. If Trustee forecloses, reasonable attorneys' fees for services in the supervision of said foreclosure proceeding shall be allowed to the Trustee and Beneficiary as part of the foreclosure costs. In the event of foreclosure of the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after foreclosure sale or entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies and guarantees, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably advisable either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to a bidder at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this section mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Trust Estate and the maintenance of the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust, including the fees of any attorney employed by Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document), the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, civil, probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Trustor, with interest thereon at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement, and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Trustee waives its right to any statutory fee in connection with any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees to accept a reasonable fee for such services.
4.19 Deficiency Judgments. If after foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or Trustee's sale hereunder, there shall remain any deficiency with respect to any Obligations, and Beneficiary shall institute any proceedings to recover such deficiency or deficiencies, all such amounts shall continue to bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement. Trustor waives any defense to Beneficiary's recovery against Trustor of any deficiency after any foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate. Trustor expressly waives any defense or benefits that may be derived from any statute granting Trustor any defense to any such recovery by Beneficiary. In addition, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to recovery of all of their reasonable costs and expenditures (including without limitation any court imposed costs) in connection with such proceedings, including their reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisal fees and the other costs, fees and expenditures referred to in Section 4.18
32
above. This provision shall survive any foreclosure or sale of the Trust Estate, any portion thereof and/or the extinguishment of the lien hereof.
4.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. Beneficiary and Trustor each waive any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise arising out of, connected with, related to or incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with the Obligations. Any such disputes shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.
4.21 Exculpation of Beneficiary. The acceptance by Beneficiary of the assignment contained herein with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate by Beneficiary, be deemed or construed to make Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession"; nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Space Leases, the Rents or the Trust Estate, or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Space Lease or to assume any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits except to the extent such deposits are actually received by Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary, prior to such entry and taking, be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in or about the Trust Estate.
ARTICLE FIVE
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE;
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, Trustor and Beneficiary agree as follows.
5.1 Exercise of Remedies by Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust or applicable law, including all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, authorizes or empowers, or does not require approval for, Beneficiary to exercise any remedies set forth in Article Four hereof or otherwise, or perform any acts in connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so required under the law of the State of Nevada) shall have the power to exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on Beneficiary's behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State of Nevada. In connection therewith, Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any of Beneficiary's remedies (other than any rights of Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement), except at Beneficiary's request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of Beneficiary's remedies at Beneficiary's request, and in accordance with Beneficiary's directions as to the manner of such exercise or waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary's request or direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.
5.2 Rights and Privileges of Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust requires Trustor to indemnify Beneficiary or reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same indemnity and the same rights to reimbursement of expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would apply in the case of Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates or limits Beneficiary's liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Trustor, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney in fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee shall be entitled to act on Trustor's behalf without joinder or confirmation by the other.
33
5.3 Resignation or Replacement of Trustee. Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, and Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause (i.e., in Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion) by an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary. In case of the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute, successor or replacement Trustee to act instead of Trustee originally named (or in place of any substitute, successor or replacement Trustee), then Beneficiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, without any formality other than appointment and designation in writing executed by Beneficiary, which instrument shall be recorded if required by the law of the State of Nevada. The law of the State of Nevada (including, without limitation, the Nevada Gaming Laws) shall govern the qualifications of any Trustee. The authority conferred upon Trustee by this Deed of Trust shall automatically extend to any and all other successor, substitute and replacement Trustee(s) successively until the obligations secured hereunder have been paid in full or the Trust Estate has been sold hereunder or released in accordance with the provisions of the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (including the Security Documents). Beneficiary's written appointment and designation of any Trustee shall be full evidence of Beneficiary's right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited. No confirmation, authorization, approval or other action by Trustor shall be required in connection with any resignation or other replacement of Trustee.
5.4 Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation, state banking corporation or a national banking association and the instrument of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on Beneficiary's behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking corporation or national banking association, then such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of Beneficiary.
5.5 Effect of Appointment of Successor Trustee. Upon the appointment and designation of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, and subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and other applicable laws, Trustee's entire estate and title in the Trust Estate shall vest in the designated successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. Such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.
5.6 Confirmation of Transfer and Succession. Upon the written request of Beneficiary or of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, any former Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee all of the right, title, estate and interest in the Trust Estate of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor, substitute or replacement Trustee.
5.7 Exculpation. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or otherwise be responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law). Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.
34
5.8 Endorsement and Execution of Documents. Upon Beneficiary's written request, Trustee shall, without liability or notice to Trustor, execute, consent to, or join in any instrument or agreement in connection with or necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (including the Security Documents). Trustor hereby irrevocably designates Trustee as its attorney in fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver, on Trustor's behalf and in Trustor's name, all instruments or agreements necessary to implement any provision(s) of this Deed of Trust or to further perfect the lien created by this Deed of Trust on the Trust Estate. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive any disability of Trustor.
5.9 Multiple Trustees. If Beneficiary appoints multiple trustees, then any Trustee, individually, may exercise all powers granted to Trustee under this instrument, without the need for action by any other Trustee(s).
5.10 Terms of Trustee's Acceptance. Trustee accepts the trust created by this Deed of Trust upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Delegation. Trustee may exercise any of its powers through appointment of attorney(s) in fact or agents.
(b) Counsel. Trustee may select and employ legal counsel (including any law firm representing Beneficiary). Trustor shall reimburse all reasonable legal fees and expenses that Trustee may thereby incur.
(c) Security. Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action upon any Event of Default unless furnished security or indemnity, in form satisfactory to Trustee, against costs, expenses, and liabilities that Trustee may incur.
(d) Costs and Expenses. Trustor shall reimburse Trustee, as part of the Obligations secured hereunder, for all reasonable disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by reason of and as provided for in this Deed of Trust, including any of the foregoing incurred in Trustee's administering and executing the trust created by this Deed of Trust, in complying with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and performing Trustee's duties and exercising Trustee's powers under this Deed of Trust.
(e) Release. Upon full and indefeasible payment and performance of the Obligations secured hereunder, Beneficiary shall request that Trustee release this Deed of Trust. Upon receipt of such request Trustee shall release this Deed of Trust to Trustor. Trustor shall pay all costs of recordation, if any.

36
6.7 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) Business Days after Beneficiary's written request, Trustor shall from time to time execute a certificate, in recordable form (an "Estoppel Certificate"), stating, except to the extent it would be inaccurate to so state: (a) the current amount of the Obligations secured hereunder and all elements thereof, including principal, interest, and all other elements; (b) that Trustor has no defense, offset, claim, counterclaim, right of recoupment, deduction, or reduction against any of the Obligations secured hereunder; (c) that neither the Guaranty, this Deed of Trust nor any other Loan Documents (including the Security Documents) to which it is a party have been amended, whether orally or in writing; (d) that Trustor has no claims against Beneficiary of any kind; (e) that any power of attorney granted to Beneficiary is in full force and effect; and (f) such other matters relating to this Deed of Trust, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document (including any Security Document) to which it is a party and the relationship of Trustor and Beneficiary as Beneficiary shall request.

6.9 Governing Law. The Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and the Notes provide that they are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Deed of Trust shall also be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of New York; provided, however, that (i) the terms and provisions of this Deed of Trust pertaining to the priority, perfection, enforcement or realization by Beneficiary of its respective rights and remedies under this Deed of Trust with respect to the Trust Estate shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada (the "State") without giving effect to the conflicts-of-law rules and principles of the State; (ii) Trustor agrees that to the extent deficiency judgments are available under the laws of the State after a foreclosure (judicial or nonjudicial) of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, or any other realization thereon by Beneficiary or any Bank under the Loan Documents, Beneficiary or such Bank, as the case may be, shall have the right to seek such a deficiency judgment against Trustor in the State; and (iii) Trustor agrees that if Beneficiary or any Bank under the Loan Documents obtains a deficiency judgment in another state against Trustor, then Beneficiary or such Bank, as the case may be, shall have the right to enforce such judgment in the State to the extent permitted under the laws of the State, as well as in other states.

(b) The Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to represent it in any action or proceeding to which this Indemnity is applicable if and to the extent that the Indemnified Parties determine in good faith that their rights and interests may be compromised or not fully and adequately represented by legal counsel acting for the Company, whether on account of any potential defenses that the Company may have to its obligations under this Indemnity or otherwise, and in such event the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Parties' independent counsel shall be paid by the Company.

In the event the Company shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, the performance of such Remedial Work, the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed and all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall be deemed Claims hereunder.
4. Liability.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indemnity or any of the Loan Documents, any liability of the Company hereunder shall be its personal liability (but such personal liability shall not be deemed to incorporate personal liability of its directors, officers, employees or agents), and may be asserted against its interest in the Property as well as against any and all of its other assets.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall survive the following events, to the maximum extent permitted by law: (i) repayment of the Obligations and any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure under the Deed of Trust or conveyance in lieu of such foreclosure, notwithstanding that all or any portion of any obligations secured by the Deed of Trust shall have been discharged thereby, (ii) any election by any Indemnified Party to purchase all or any portion of the Property at a foreclosure sale by crediting all or any portion of the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust against the purchase price therefor (except to the extent and only to the extent that such Indemnified Party has specifically elected in writing in its sole discretion to credit against the purchase price any Claims hereunder which were liquidated in amount at the time of such foreclosure sale, it being presumed for these purposes that the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust shall be discharged by any such crediting in the order set forth in the Deed of Trust), (iii) any release or reconveyance of the Deed of Trust, any waiver of the lien of the Deed of Trust, or any release or waiver of any other security for the Obligations, and (iv) any termination, cancellation or modification of any Loan Document. Upon and following the occurrence of any of the foregoing, the obligations of the Company hereunder shall remain unsecured obligations, and shall be enforceable against the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
5
(c) The obligations of the Company hereunder are not intended to be the obligations of a surety or guarantor. The liability of the Company under this Indemnity shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by the Loan Documents; (ii) the accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company in any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) the release of any person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms, or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law or otherwise.
(d) The rights and remedies of the Indemnified Parties under this Indemnity (i) shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of such Indemnified Parties under any Loan Document or at law or in equity, and (ii) may be enforced by any of the Indemnified Parties, to the maximum extent permitted by law, without regard to or affecting any rights and remedies that such Indemnified Party may have under any Loan Document or at law or in equity, and without regard to any limitations on such Indemnified Party's recourse for recovery of the indebtedness represented by the Obligations as may be provided in any Loan Document.
5. Site Visits, Observation and Testing. The Administrative Agent and any of the other Indemnified Parties and their respective agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time, and upon reasonable prior notice, but subject to the rights of tenants under their leases, to enter and visit the Property to make such inspections and inquiries as they shall deem appropriate, including inspections for violations of any of the terms of this Indemnity and for determining the existence, nature and magnitude of any past or present Release or threatened Release, and they shall also have the right, following any Event of Default, or where the Administrative Agent has a reasonable basis upon which to believe that the Property may be harmed, unsafe or contaminated, and upon reasonable prior notice, to enter and visit the Property to make such tests (including, without limitation, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples) as they shall deem appropriate. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Indemnified Parties have any duty, however, to visit or observe the Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit, observation or testing by the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party shall impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or such other Indemnified Party. In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party be a representation that Hazardous Substances are or are not present in, on or under the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Hazardous Substances Laws or any other applicable governmental law. Neither the Company nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Indemnified Parties owe any duty of care to protect the Company or any other party against, or to inform the Company or any other party of, any Hazardous Substances or any other adverse condition affecting the Property. The Administrative Agent and any other Indemnified Party shall give the Company reasonable notice before entering the Property, and shall make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with the Company's use of the Property in exercising any rights provided in this paragraph 5.
6. Interest Accrued. Any amount owed hereunder to an Indemnified Party not paid within thirty (30) days after written demand from such Indemnified Party with an explanation of the amounts claimed shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the maximum interest rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Credit Agreement.
7. Subrogation of Indemnity Rights. If the Company fails to fully perform its obligations hereunder, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue any rights or claims that the Company may have against any present, future or former owners, tenants or other occupants or users of the Property, any portion thereof or any adjacent or proximate properties, relating to any Claim or the performance of Remedial Work (to the extent of performance by such Indemnified Party), and the Company hereby assigns all of such rights and claims to the Indemnified Parties under such
6
circumstances and shall take all actions required by the Indemnified Parties to cooperate with such Indemnified Parties in enforcing such rights and claims under such circumstances.
8. Reliance. The Company acknowledges that it is making and giving the indemnities and representations and covenants contained in this Indemnity with the knowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on such indemnities and representations and covenants in entering into the Loan Documents and making the Loans to the Company.
9. Successors and Assigns. This Indemnity shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnified Party's successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the heirs, successors, and assigns of the Company. The Company shall not assign any rights or obligations under this Indemnity without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indemnity to the contrary, the Company shall not be released from its obligations hereunder without obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a consent to the transfer of the Property which transfer would be otherwise prohibited by any Loan Document.
10. Miscellaneous. This Indemnity shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. If this Indemnity is executed by more than one person or entity, the liability of the undersigned hereunder shall be joint and several. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and the Company hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments. In no event shall any provision of this Indemnity be deemed to be a waiver of or to be in lieu of any right or claim, including, without limitation, any right of contribution or other right of recovery, that any party to this Indemnity might otherwise have against any other party to this Indemnity under any Hazardous Substances Laws. If any term of this Indemnity or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Indemnity and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby. No delay or omission in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.
11. Notices. All notices expressly provided hereunder to be given by the Company to the Administrative Agent and all notices and demands of any kind or nature whatsoever which the Company may be required or may desire to give to or serve on the Administrative Agent shall be in
7
writing and shall be served by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a reputable commercial overnight carrier that provides a receipt, such as Federal Express. Notice shall be addressed as follows:
