obligations whatsoever under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement or the GECC
Facilities Agreement, except to the extent such liabilities and obligations are
expressly assumed by the Borrower under the (i) Purchase and Sale Agreement,
(ii) the Plan of Reorganization approved by the Confirmation Order, or (iii)
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document executed by the Borrower.
2.2 Term Loan A. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each
Term Loan A Lender shall be deemed to have made a term loan (a "Term Loan A") to
the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Term
Loan A Commitment of such Lender; provided, that on the Closing Date the
aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan A shall equal $500,000,000 (of which
$14,000,000 in accordance with the Time Share Plan shall be paid to the Term
Loan A Lenders (other than the FF&E Lender) on the Closing Date pursuant to
Section 5.1(aa), so that after receipt by the Agent of such payment, the
aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan A shall be equal to $486,000,000).
2.3 Term Loan B. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each
Term Loan B Lender shall be deemed to have made a term loan (a "Term Loan B") to
the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Term
Loan B Commitment of such Lender (excluding any amounts arising under Section
3.2 of this Agreement); provided, that on the Closing Date the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loan B shall equal $10,000,000.
42
2.4 Notes Evidencing Term Loans. In addition to this Agreement,
the Borrower's obligations to repay the Term Loans shall be evidenced by (i) a
single promissory note of the Borrower payable to the order of the Term Loan A
Lenders and held by the Agent on behalf of each Term Loan A Lender in the form
attached as Exhibit E-1 and (ii) a single promissory note of the Borrower
payable to the order of the Term Loan B Lenders and held by the Agent on behalf
of each Term Loan B Lender in the form attached as Exhibit E-2, each as amended,
modified, replaced or reissued from time to time (collectively, the "Term Loan
Notes"). In the event that a Lender shall request a Term Loan Note payable to
its order or shall assign all or a part of its rights and obligations under, and
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the new Lender shall request
a Term Loan Note payable to its order, the Borrower shall execute and deliver
one or more Term Loan Notes or replacement Term Loan Notes, as the case may be,
to carry out any such request.
2.5 Borrowing of Term Loans. The Term Loans shall be deemed to
have been made on the Closing Date.
2.6 Renewals of Term Loans. All Eurodollar Loans shall be
automatically renewed at the end of each Interest Period unless such a renewal
is prohibited by Section 3.12 or if an Event or Event of Default has occurred or
is continuing.
2.7 Term Loan Account. The Agent will establish a loan account for
the Borrower with each Lender. Unless the Agent otherwise elects, the principal
amount of each Term Loan A and each Term Loan B, the amount of each required
principal repayment, all accrued interest, all fees, all payments due to the
Agent or a Lender from the Borrower under Sections 3.8 (Requirements of Law),
3.9 (Capital Adequacy Costs), 3.11 (Indemnity) and 4.3(b) (Renovation Capital
Expenditures) in the event that the Letter of Credit has not been issued and
drawn by the Agent, and all costs and expenses described in Section 11.10 (Fees
and Expenses) will be charged to the Borrower's Term Loan account with the
appropriate Lender as of the date made, or the date such other amount is due
from the Borrower or is paid or incurred by the Agent or a Lender, or the date
such amount becomes chargeable to the Borrower's loan account pursuant to
Section 11.10 (Fees and Expenses), as the case may be.
ARTICLE 3
INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES
3.1 Term Loan A Interest.
(a) Term Loan A Interest Payments During the Initial
Interest Period.
(i) On or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the end
of each Fiscal Quarter during the Initial Interest Period, the Borrower shall
pay the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Term Loan A Lenders, an amount
equal to the Term Loan A Interest Amount for the Fiscal Quarter last ended
(which shall be calculated by the Borrower based on a good faith estimate of
EBITDA for the Fiscal Quarter last ended) less the Excess Interest Amount, if
any, that was
43
credited during the Fiscal Quarter last ended; provided, however, that in no
event shall the amount of interest payable by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 3.1(a)(i) be (i) greater than the Maximum Term Loan A Rate on the
Average Daily Outstanding Principal Amount during such Fiscal Quarter (after
taking into account any payments of principal made by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 prior to the end of such Fiscal Quarter) and (ii) less
than the Minimum Term Loan A Rate on the Average Daily Outstanding Principal
Amount during such Fiscal Quarter (after taking into account any payments of
principal made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 prior to the
end of such Fiscal Quarter). The Term Loan A Interest Amount shall be due and
payable as set forth above regardless of whether a Terrorist Event shall have
occurred and the financial covenants shall have been suspended in accordance
with Sections 8.13(c), 8.14(b) or 8.15(b) of this Agreement.
(ii) In the event that the amount of interest paid by the
Borrower to the Agent in any Fiscal Year during the Initial Interest Period (the
"Annual Estimated Amount of Interest") differs from the aggregate amount of
interest that would have been payable by the Borrower as a result of the
aggregate Term Loan A Interest Amount based on estimated EBITDA for the four
Fiscal Quarters during such Fiscal Year being greater or less than the actual
Term Loan A Interest Amount based on EBITDA for such Fiscal Year (the "Annual
Actual Amount of Interest"), (A) the Borrower will pay to the Agent within 90
days of the end of such Fiscal Year, the amount equal to the positive
difference, if any, between (i) the Annual Actual Amount of Interest and (ii)
the Annual Estimated Amount of Interest (the amount of such difference shall be
referred to herein as the "Shortfall Interest Amount") or (B) the Agent will
credit to the account of the Borrower with the Term A Lenders an amount equal to
the positive difference, if any, between (i) the Annual Estimated Amount of
Interest and (ii) the Annual Actual Amount of Interest (the "Excess Interest
Amount"). Any amounts payable under this Section 3.1(a)(ii) shall be due and
payable as set forth above regardless of whether a Terrorist Event shall have
occurred and the financial covenants shall have been suspended in accordance
with Sections 8.13(c), 8,14(b) or 8.15(b) of this Agreement.
(b) Term Loan A Interest Payments After the Initial
Interest Period. Commencing on the Interest Payment Date immediately following
the third Anniversary Date and on each Interest Payment Date thereafter, the
Borrower shall make a payment to the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Term
Loan A Lenders, in an amount equal to the Term Loan A Eurodollar Rate on the
Average Daily Outstanding Principal Amount during the Fiscal Quarter last ended
prior to such Interest Payment Date (after taking into account any payments of
principal made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of this
Agreement prior to the end of such Fiscal Quarter). Any amounts payable under
this Section 3.1(b) shall be due and payable as set forth above regardless of
whether a Terrorist Event shall have occurred and the financial covenants shall
have been suspended in accordance with Sections 8.13(c), 8.14(b) or 8.15(b) of
this Agreement.
3.2 Term Loan B Interest. Each Term Loan B shall bear interest
from the Closing Date on the Average Daily Outstanding Principal Amount thereof
at a rate per annum equal to the Term Loan B Eurodollar Rate and such interest
shall accrue and be added to the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B on
each Interest Payment Date and thereafter bear interest at the
44
Term Loan B Eurodollar Rate with respect to the Term Loan B until paid in full.
Any amounts due under this Section 3.2 shall be due and payable as set forth
above regardless of whether a Terrorist Event shall have occurred and the
financial covenants shall have been suspended in accordance with Sections
8.13(c), 8.14(b) or 8.15(b) of this Agreement.
3.3 Default Rate. (a) If any Event of Default occurs, (i) during
the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second Anniversary
Date, then, from the date such Event of Default occurs until it is cured or
waived or until all Obligations are paid and performed in full, all outstanding
Loans shall bear interest (as well after as before judgment) at a rate (the
"Initial Default Rate") per annum which is equal to the Prime Lending Rate plus
2% and (ii) at any time after the second Anniversary Date, then, from the date
such Event of Default occurs until it is cured or waived or until all
Obligations are paid and performed in full, all outstanding Loans shall bear
interest (as well after as before judgment) at a rate (the "Subsequent Default
Rate") per annum which is equal to the then applicable interest rate plus 2%;
and (b) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or other amount
payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), (i) during the period commencing on the Closing Date
and ending on the second Anniversary Date such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Default Rate and (ii) at any
time after the second Anniversary Date such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the Subsequent Default Rate, in each case from the
date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as
before judgment). Interest accruing pursuant to this Section 3.3 on the Term
Loan A shall be payable from time to time on demand and interest accruing
pursuant to this Section 3.3 on the Term Loan B shall accrue and be added to the
outstanding principal of the Term Loan B on each Interest Payment Date and
thereafter bear interest at the Term Loan B Eurodollar Rate until paid.
3.4 Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest or other
charge hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court
of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable
hereto. In the event that a court so determines that any Lender has received
interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the highest rate applicable
thereto, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall
automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations owed to such Lender other
than interest in the inverse order of maturity, and the provisions hereof shall
be deemed amended to provide for the highest permissible rate. If there are no
Obligations outstanding, then such Lender shall refund such excess to the
Borrower.
3.5 Computation of Interest. All computations of interest
hereunder shall be made on a daily basis on the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 360 days.
3.6 Agency and Collateral Monitoring Fee. The Borrower agrees to
pay the Agent for its own account an agency and collateral monitoring fee (the
"Agency and Collateral Monitoring Fee") in the amount of $67,500 per annum (of
which $60,000 per annum is the agency fee and $7,500 per annum is the collateral
monitoring fee), payable in advance on the Closing Date and on each anniversary
of the Closing Date until the Commitments have expired or been terminated and
all Obligations have been paid in full.
45
3.7 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower in respect of the
Obligations shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on
account of, any Taxes; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
required by this Section to pay or reimburse the Agent or any Lender for (i)
income and franchise taxes, doing business taxes or minimum taxes imposed on or
in respect of any such Person's overall net income or gross receipts from all
operations (or taxes imposed in lieu of such income or franchise taxes on
overall net income, net worth or capital or gross receipts) by the jurisdiction
of organization of the Lender or the jurisdiction in which is located the
Lending Office or other office for payments of such Person, or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (ii) Taxes imposed solely by
reason of failure by the Agent or any Lender to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (b) of this Section 3.7, (iii) any Taxes in the nature of transfer,
stamp, recording or documentary taxes resulting from a transfer (other than as a
result of foreclosure) by a Lender of all or any portion of its interest in this
Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any other Loan Documents, and (iv) Taxes which
are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
arisen solely as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent
or any Lender (all of the foregoing, except for those taxes excluded by the
proviso to this sentence, being referred to hereinafter as the "Non-Excluded
Taxes"). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts
payable to the Agent or a Lender hereunder or under the applicable Term Loan
Note, the amounts so payable to such Person shall be increased to the extent
necessary to yield to such Person (after withholding or payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes and all Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder
at the rates or in the amounts specified herein and in the applicable Term Loan
Note as if no such deduction had been made, and the Borrower shall make such
deduction and pay the full amount deducted to the appropriate Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Non-Excluded Tax is
payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall
send to the Agent a certified copy of an original official receipt showing
payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to
the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify
the Agent, or the Lender, as the case may be, for any incremental Taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by such Person as a result of any
such failure. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date
the Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. If
any Lender receives a refund or credit or otherwise would have received a refund
or credit but for the offset of the amount of such refund against such Lender's
Taxes (that are not otherwise indemnifiable by the Borrower) (a "Tax Refund"),
which in the good faith judgment of such Lender is allocable to the Borrower, it
shall promptly pay such Tax Refund (net of (i) any Taxes and net income or
franchise taxes imposed on the Lender with respect to the Tax Refund and (ii)
any costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such Tax Refund) to the Borrower.
(b) Each Lender or transferee or assignee (including a
participation holder) thereof (any such entity, a "Transferee") that is not a
"United States person", as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, agrees
that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or before the date it
becomes a Lender or Transferee (x) two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor applicable form certifying
that under an
46
applicable treaty such Lender or Transferee is entitled to receive all payments
under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes (or, in the case of a Transferee, that any such deduction
or withholding is no greater than it would have been for the Lender (or the
Transferee) that transferred or assigned its interest to such Transferee), (y)
two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
or successor applicable form, or (z) two duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor applicable form and a
statement in the form of Exhibit F hereto. Each such Lender or Transferee also
agrees (x) to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two further copies of the
said statement and Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable forms or other
manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date reasonably
requested in writing by the Borrower or the Agent, and (y) to obtain such
extensions of the time for filing and to renew such statements or forms and
certifications thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the
Agent, unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation (or the
interpretation thereof) has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such statements or forms
inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender or Transferee from duly
completing and delivering any such statement or form with respect to it and such
Lender or Transferee so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Such Lender or
Transferee shall certify in the case of a Form W- 8BEN or W-8ECI (and, if
applicable, the statement) that it is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes (or, in the case of a Transferee, that any such deduction or withholding
is no greater than it would have been for the Lender or the Transferee that
transferred or assigned its interest to such Transferee). Such Lender or
Transferee shall, promptly upon the written request of the Borrower to that
effect, deliver to the Borrower such other forms or similar documentation as may
be required from time to time by any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation
(or the interpretation thereof) in order to establish such Lender's or
Transferee's tax status for withholding purposes (to the extent that it is then
legally permitted to do so). Such Lender or Transferee also shall notify the
Borrower promptly after any change in any applicable law or regulation or in the
written interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority applicable to such
Lender or Transferee that results in such Lender or Transferee no longer being
capable of receiving payments under this Agreement without any deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax. Each Lender or Transferee that
is a "United States person", as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,
and that is not a corporation agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and
the Agent a Form W-9 stating that it is entitled to an exemption from United
States backup withholding tax.
3.8 Requirements of Law. In the event that after the date of this
Agreement any change in law, regulation, treaty, or directive or any change
therein 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) of
any central bank or other Governmental Authority : (a) does or shall subject any
Lender (or any corporation controlling a Lender) to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to any Loan or change the basis of taxation of payments
to such Lender of principal, interest, or any other amount payable in respect of
any Loan (other than Non-Excluded Taxes and except for changes in the rate of
tax on or in respect of such Person's overall net income, net worth or capital
or gross receipts); (b) does or shall impose, modify, deem applicable, or result
in
47
the application of any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar
requirement against loans or loan commitments made by a Lender or against any
other extensions of credit or commitments to extend credit or other assets of or
any deposits or other liabilities taken or entered into by a Lender and which
was not otherwise included in determining the rate of interest on the Loans of
such Lender; or (c) imposes on a Lender (or any corporation controlling a
Lender) any other condition regarding this Agreement; and the result of any such
event shall be to increase the cost to a Lender (or any corporation controlling
a Lender) of making or maintaining the Loans or the other Obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or to reduce the amounts receivable by such Person hereunder
then, within 30 days after written demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 (Regulatory Replacement of Lenders),
either (a) immediately pay to the appropriate Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Person, additional fees which shall be sufficient to
compensate such Person (or any corporation controlling such Person) for such
increased cost or reduction in amounts receivable, or (b) pay all outstanding
Obligations and terminate this Agreement, paying the foregoing fees to the date
of termination. Such Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement of which it has actual knowledge,
that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.8 and
will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the
need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, provided that such
designation is permitted by applicable law and does not result in any tax,
reserve, special deposit or other obligation or any increased cost to such
Lender. Upon the occurrence of any event referred to above, the affected Person
shall send the Agent and the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the increased cost or reduction in amounts receivable, which certificate
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error or bad faith, as to the amount
thereof.
3.9 Capital Adequacy Costs. If after the date of this Agreement
the introduction of or any change in (a) the judicial, administrative, or other
governmental interpretation of any law or regulation or (b) compliance by a
Lender (or any corporation controlling a Lender) with any guideline or request
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law) has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines in good faith that such
increase is based upon its transactions with the Borrower hereunder, then,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 (Regulatory Replacement Lenders), then
within 30 days after written demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall either:
(x) pay to such Lender such additional amount as such Lender shall certify in
good faith to be the amount allocable to its transactions with the Borrower
hereunder; or (y) pay to the Lenders all outstanding Obligations and terminate
this Agreement. Such Lender will notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after such
Lender obtains Knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.
Such Lender's determination for purposes of this Section of the effect of any
increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by it and of the
amount allocable to its transactions with the Borrower hereunder shall be
conclusive, provided that such determination is made on a reasonable basis. For
purposes of this Section, in calculating the amount necessary to compensate a
Lender for any increase in or imposition of capital requirements, such Lender
shall be deemed to be entitled to a rate of return on capital per annum (after
federal, state and local taxes) equivalent to that which it
48
would have received had such increase in or imposition of capital requirements
not occurred.
3.10 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the
Agent or any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any Interest Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Loans, or that LIBOR as so ascertained will not accurately reflect
such Lender's cost of creating or maintaining such Loan, or Dollar deposits in
the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to
such Lender in its relevant market, then any Lender making such determination
shall so notify the Agent, and the Agent in either case shall forthwith give
prompt telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the
Borrower. If such notice is given and until such notice has been withdrawn by
the Agent, any requested Eurodollar Loan shall be made as a Prime-Based Loan;
provided, however, that such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the
Agent shall forthwith give prompt telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower,
confirmed in writing to the Borrower, if the circumstances giving rise to such
situation no longer exist. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, as
the case may be, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made, nor shall any
Eurodollar Loan be renewed.
3.11 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender
against, to hold each Lender harmless from and to pay to the Agent on such
Lender's behalf on demand, any cost, loss or expenses which such Lender may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of
the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan, including, but not
limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by a
Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain such Eurodollar
Loan, (b) failure by the Borrower to make a renewal of a Loan after the Borrower
has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, unless such failure is
as a result of the provisions of Section 3.12, or (c) repayment of a Eurodollar
Loan on a day which is not the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto,
including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or
fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to
maintain such Eurodollar Loan. Notice of a claim thereunder shall be given to
the Borrower by the Agent within 90 days of the payment of any Eurodollar Loan.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such notice of
claim within 30 days after receipt thereof.
3.12 Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change
in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority,
or compliance by a Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful or
impossible for such Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, then such
Lender shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Agent. Before giving any
such notice to the Borrower and the Agent, such Lender shall designate a
different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such
notice, provided that such designation is permitted by applicable law and does
not result in any tax, reserve, special deposit or other obligation or any
increased cost to such Lender. Upon giving of such notice by such Lender, such
Lender's obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and the
Borrower shall convert then-outstanding principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan
(on either (a) the last day of
49
then-current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender
may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Loan to such day or
(b) immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain
such Eurodollar Loan to such day) into a Prime-Based Loan in an equal principal
amount.
3.13 Replacement by the Borrower of a Lender.
(a) Acquired Lender. If any Lender is acquired by or
merges with any other Person (including any other Lender) and (i) such Lender is
not the surviving Person, and (ii) there exits no Event or Event of Default
hereunder, the Borrower may replace such Lender in whole in the event that the
surviving Person is not an Eligible Assignee with an Eligible Assignee
reasonably acceptable to the Agent pursuant to an Assignment Agreement within 30
days following the date of consummation of any such acquisition or merger.
(b) Certain Circumstances. If (i) there exists no Event
or Event of Default on any such date and no Event or Event of Default shall be
caused by the action permitted below and (ii) any one Lender refuses to consent
to any amendment, waiver or consent to any provision hereof or in any Loan
Documents in accordance with the terms of Section 11.14 of this Agreement (other
than an amendment to increase the Commitment of such Lender), but to which each
other Lender has previously agreed in writing, then the Borrower may, within 45
days after the date of such consent, amendment or waiver, replace such Lender in
whole with another Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Agent,
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS
4.1 Principal Payments.
(a) Excess Cash Flow Principal Payments. At any time
after the Reserve Amount equals $25,000,000 (and thereafter without regard to
any decrease in the Reserve Amount) until the Term Loan A is paid in full, the
Borrower shall pay the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Term Loan A
Lenders (including any payments allocated to Term Loan Notes held by the
Pre-Petition Swap Lender as set forth in Section 4.4 of this Agreement), on or
before the first day of the immediately succeeding Fiscal Quarter (the "Initial
Excess Cash Flow Principal Payment Date") and on each anniversary and sixth
month anniversary of the Initial Excess Cash Flow Principal Payment Date, an
amount equal to (i) 100% of the Excess Cash Flow in the event that the Leverage
Ratio is equal to or greater than 4.00:1.00 for either of the two Fiscal
Quarters most recently ended, (ii) 75% of the Excess Cash Flow in the event that
the Leverage Ratio is less than 4.00:1.00 for each of the two Fiscal Quarters
most recently ended but greater than 3.50:1.00 for either of the two Fiscal
Quarters most recently ended and (iii) 50% of Excess Cash Flow in the event that
the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 3.50:1.00 for each of the two Fiscal
Quarters most recently ended.
The following examples are provided for purposes of clarity:
50
(1) Leverage Ratio is 3.3:1.00 at end of Fiscal Quarter 1 and the
Leverage Ratio is 3.7 at end of Fiscal Quarter 2, the Borrower must pay the
Agent 75% of Excess Cash Flow.
(2) Leverage Ratio is 3.7:1.00 at end of Fiscal Quarter 1 and the
Leverage Ratio is 3.3 at end of Fiscal Quarter 2, the Borrower must pay the
Agent 75% of Excess Cash Flow.
(b) Term Loan A Scheduled Installments of Principal
Payments Following Initial Interest Period. Unless sooner payable as provided in
Sections 9.2 (Remedies), 10.2 (Termination by the Borrower) and 10.3
(Termination by the Required Term Loan A Lenders), the Term Loan A shall be paid
by the Borrower to the Agent in the following installments, in addition to the
Excess Cash Flow principal payment required under Section 4.1(a) above:
(i) $1,250,000 on the first day of each Fiscal

ending on the Maturity Date; and
(v) the then unpaid amount of the Term Loan A on
the Maturity Date.
All payments made pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and (b) shall be applied to the
payment of the Term Loan A for the pro rata benefit of the Term Loan A Lenders
(including any payments allocated to the Term Loan Notes held by the
Pre-Petition Swap Lender as set forth in Section 4.4 of this Agreement).
(c) Term Loan B Principal Payments. Except as provided in
Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 or unless sooner payable as provided in Sections 9.2
(Remedies), 10.2 (Termination by the Borrower) and 10.3 (Termination by the
Required Term Loan A Lenders), no principal payments on the Term Loan B shall be
due or payable until the Maturity Date.
(d) Principal Payment at Maturity. The Borrower shall pay
the unpaid principal balance of the Loan together with all other Obligations in
a single installment on the Maturity Date.
51
4.2 Optional Prepayments of Term Loans. Optional prepayments of
each of the Term Loan A and Term Loan B may be made by the Borrower to the
Agent, without penalty or premium but subject to the payment of the amounts set
forth in Section 3.11 (Indemnity) with respect to Eurodollar Loans being prepaid
prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, on one
or more occasions in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or more (in $1,000,000
increments), upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent to
be applied first, subject to the next sentence, to the prepayment of the Term
Loan A pro rata to the then unpaid amounts of the Term Loan A and second, after
the Term Loan A has been repaid in full (including all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and all other obligations associated therewith), to the
prepayment of the Term Loan B pro rata to the then unpaid amounts of the Term
Loan B. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, 86.23% of the amount
of any optional prepayments made to the Agent on behalf of the Term Loan A
Lenders (other than the FF&E Lender) shall be allocated by the Agent to the Term
Loan Notes held by the Pre- Petition Swap Lender unless and until the
Pre-Petition Swap Claim has been paid in full. During the Initial Interest
Period, interest on any prepayments made under this Section 4.2 shall be paid in
accordance with Section 3.1(a)(i) of this Agreement.
4.3 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.
(a) Payments Relating to Time Share Plan. The
Borrower shall assign and pay to the Agent, no later than 20 days after the end
of each calendar month, 100% of any amounts it receives in connection with the
Time Share Plan during such calendar month; provided that the Borrower may
withhold from such payment an amount equal to the Tax Liability for such
calendar month with respect to the taxable income derived from the Time Share
Plan. For this purpose, the Tax Liability with respect to the taxable income
derived from the Time Share Plan shall be an amount (not less than zero) equal
to the product of (A) the Borrower's Tax Liability for the relevant calendar
month (determined by an interim closing of its books) and (B) a fraction, (i)
the numerator of which is the Borrower's taxable income from the Time Share
Premises for such calendar month computed as if the Borrower were a corporation
subject to federal income tax for such purposes , and (ii) the denominator of
which is the Borrower's total taxable income for such calendar month computed on
the same basis. Additionally, in the event that the Borrower makes any
Disposition of the Time Share Premises, other than in connection with the Time
Share Plan (which it may only do with the prior written consent of the Required
Term Loan A Lenders (other than the FF&E Lender), the Borrower shall, within
five (5) days after any such Disposition, pay the Agent the amount by which (i)
the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower
from any such Disposition exceeds (ii) $14,000,000.
(b) Renovation Capital Expenditures. The Borrower is
required under Section 7.13 to spend and pay not less than $90,000,000 on and
for Renovation Capital Expenditures. If, by the (A) First Renovation Capital
Expenditure Measurement Date, the Borrower has not spent and paid at least
$72,000,000 on and for Renovation Capital Expenditures, the Borrower shall by
the 30th day following the First Renovation Capital Expenditure Measurement
Date, pay the Agent the difference between (x) $72,000,000 and (y) the amount
spent and paid on and for Renovation Capital Expenditures as of the First
52
Renovation Capital Expenditure Measurement Date, (B) Second Renovation Capital
Expenditure Measurement Date, the Borrower has not spent and paid an aggregate
amount of $81,000,000 on and for Renovation Capital Expenditures, the Borrower
shall by the 30th day following the Second Renovation Capital Expenditure
Measurement Date, pay the Agent the difference between (x) $81,000,000 and (y)
the sum of (i) the amount spent and paid on and for Renovation Capital
Expenditures through the Second Renovation Capital Expenditure Measurement Date
and (ii) the amount paid to the Agent by the Borrower in accordance with clause
(A) of this Section 4.3(b) through the Second Renovation Capital Expenditure
Measurement Date and (C) Third Renovation Capital Expenditure Measurement Date,
the Borrower has not spent and paid an aggregate amount of $90,000,000 on
Renovation Capital Expenditures, the Borrower shall by the 30th day following
the Third Renovation Capital Expenditure Measurement Date, pay the Agent the
difference between (x) $90,000,000 and (y) the sum of (i) the amount spent and
paid for Renovation Capital Expenditures through the Third Renovation Capital
Expenditure Measurement Date, (ii) the aggregate amount paid to the Agent by the
Borrower in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 4.3(b) through
the Third Renovation Capital Expenditure Measurement Date. If any amount
required to be paid to the Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
is not paid when due, the Agent may, without further notice or demand, (i) draw
upon the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amount due to the Agent or
(ii) charge the Borrower's loan account pursuant to Section 2.7 in an amount
equal to the amount due to the Agent. The Agent drawing upon the Letter of
Credit or charging the Borrower's loan account shall constitute a payment for
purposes of determining clauses (B)(y)(ii) and (C)(y)(ii) of this Section
4.3(b). The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the $14,000,000 payment
described in Section 5.1(x), shall not reduce the $90,000,000 of Renovation
Capital Expenditures required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.3(b).
(c) Proceeds of Other Asset Transfers. If the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Transfers
or Casualty Events (other than Net Cash Proceeds required to be paid to the
Agent to the extent provided in Section 4.3(a)), then, within fifteen (15) days
of providing the notice required under Section 7.3(k), the Borrower (for itself
and on behalf of any Subsidiary effecting the Asset Transfer) shall pay such Net
Cash Proceeds to the Agent who shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds toward the
prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 4.3(e) below; provided,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower may elect (a "Reinvestment
Election") to exclude from the foregoing requirement amounts with respect to the
relevant Asset Transfers or Casualty Events to the extent that such are to be
reinvested in Reinvestment Assets (the "Reinvestment Amount") by delivering to
the Agent a written Reinvestment Notice delivered with the information required
under Section 7.3(g) setting forth the anticipated Reinvestment Amount (the
"Notified Reinvestment Amount"), whereupon the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
shall have eighteen (18) months from the date of such notice in which to
reinvest such Reinvestment Amount in Reinvestment Assets, subject however to the
provisions of Section 7.19 with respect to Casualty Events; provided, that the
Reinvestment Amounts so specified in any eighteen (18) month period (including
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards for Casualty Events) shall not exceed
the amounts set forth in Section 8.12 for any such eighteen (18) month period,
provided, further, that after six (6) months following the end of the month to
which the Reinvestment Notice relates, the
53
Agent may in its reasonable discretion (acting upon the direction of the
Required Term Loan A Lenders) establish reserves in respect of the Reinvestment
Amount not yet reinvested and provided further, that on the Reinvestment
Prepayment Date with respect to a Reinvestment Election, the Borrower shall pay
to the Agent an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount, if any, for
application as provided in Section 4.3(e).
(d) Application of Funds from Time Share Premises.
Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayment and Commitment reductions
made pursuant to clause (a) above and the payment required by Section 5.1(x)
shall be applied as follows: first, the Initial Time Share Premises Payment
(which is defined as the greater of (i) $20,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds (which
upon the satisfaction of Section 5.1(x), shall include the payment of such
$14,000,000 on account of the Time Share Premises) and (ii) the Fair Market
Value of the Time Share Premises as determined by the FF&E Lender Appraisal)
shall be applied, subject to the next sentence of this Section 4.3(d), to the
prepayment of the Term Loan A pro rata to the then unpaid amounts of the Term
Loan A held by all Term Loan A Lenders other than the FF&E Lender, second, after
the application of the Initial Time Share Premises Payment, to the prepayment of
the Term Loan A pro rata to the then unpaid amounts (without taking into account
the Initial Time Share Premises Payment referred to above) of the Term Loan A
held by all Term Loan A Lenders including the FF&E Lender, and third, after the
Term Loan A has been repaid in full (including all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and all other obligations associated therewith), to the prepayment of
the Term Loan B pro rata to the then unpaid amounts of the Term Loan B.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Agent shall allocate
86.23% of the Initial Time Share Premises Payment to the Term Loan Notes held by
the Pre-Petition Swap Lender unless and until the Pre-Petition Swap Claim has
been paid in full. After receipt by the Required Term Loan A Lenders (other than
the FF&E Lender) of the Initial Time Share Premises Payment, all references in
this Agreement to the Required Term Loan A Lenders with respect to the Time
Share Premises shall include the FF& E Lender.
(e) Application of Other Mandatory Principal Payments.
Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions
made pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall be applied first, subject to
the next sentence of this Section 4.3(e), to the prepayment of the Term Loan A
pro rata to the then unpaid amounts of the Term Loan A, and second, after the
Term Loan A has been repaid in full (including all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and all other obligations associated therewith), to the prepayment of
the Term Loan B pro rata to the then unpaid amounts of the Term Loan B.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, 86.23% of the amount of any
prepayments made to the Agent on behalf of the Term Loan A Lenders (other than
the FF&E Lender) pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above shall be allocated by the
Agent to the Term Loan Notes held by the Pre-Petition Swap Lender unless and
until the Pre-Petition Swap Claim has been paid in full.
Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 4.3 shall be
accompanied by accrued interest (which, in the case of the Term Loan B, may, at
the option of the Borrower, be added to the outstanding principal of the Term
Loan B (after giving effect to any such prepayment) and bear interest at the
Term Loan B Eurodollar Rate until paid in full) to the date of such prepayment
on the amount prepaid; provided, however, that during the Initial Interest
Period,
54
interest on any prepayments of the Term A Loan under this Section 4.3 shall be
paid in accordance with Section 3.1(a)(i) of this Agreement.
4.4 Payments, No Reborrowings. (a) Each payment (including each
prepayment) by the Borrower on account of (i) principal of the Term Loan A shall
be made by the Agent (x) until such time as the Pre-Petition Swap Claim has been
paid in full, to the Term Loan Notes held by the Pre-Petition Swap Lender in an
amount equal to 86.23% of any such payment to the Term Loan A Lenders (other
than the FF&E Lender) with the balance of such payment being made pro rata
according to the respective Term Loan A Percentages of all of the Term Loan A
Lenders (except as set forth in Section 4.3(d) above) and (y) after an amount

all of the Term Loan A Lenders (except as set forth in Section 4.3(d) above),
(ii) interest on the Term Loan A and any other amounts payable to the Term Loan
A Lenders shall be made by the Agent pro rata according to the respective Term
Loan A Percentages of all of the Term Loan A Lenders, and (iii) principal and
interest on the Term Loans B and any other amounts payable to the Term Loan B
Lenders shall be made by the Agent pro rata according to the respective Term

[The following example of the application of Section 4.4(a)(i)(x) is
provided for purposes of clarity: Payment of $100,000,000 is made by the
Borrower on the Term Loan A. Payment to Term Loan A Lenders (other than the FF&E
Lender) is $89,000,000 of which $76,000,000 shall be for the Pre-Petition Swap
Lender and $13,000,000 for the Term Loan A Lenders (other than the FF&E Lender).
$11,000,000 of such $100,000,000 payment is for the FF&E Lender. The allocations
among the Term Loan A Lenders (other than the FF&E Lender) evidenced by Section
4.4(a)(i)(x) relating to the Pre-Petition Swap Claim shall not change the amount
of the payment to the FF&E Lender.]
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Borrower
assumes no liability or obligation related to the Pre-Petition Swap Claims other
than the Obligations owed to the Term Loan A Lenders.
(c) Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not
be reborrowed.
4.5 Place and Form of Payments; Extension of Time. All payments of
principal, interest, and other sums due to the Agent, or any Lender shall be
made without offset, defense, or counterclaim at the Agent's address set forth
in Section 11.11 of this Agreement. All such payments shall be made in Dollars
and in immediately available funds. All payments required to be made to the
Agent hereunder shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time. Funds
received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on
the next Business Day. If any payment of principal, interest, or other sum to be
made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then,
except as otherwise provided herein, the due date of such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be
payable at the applicable interest rate during such extension.
55
4.6 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or
reduction (including, without limitation, any amounts received as adequate
protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of
any Obligations of the Borrower hereunder (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) which exceeds its
ratable share of payments or reductions on account of such Obligations obtained
by all the Lenders under the Facility (other than payments under Section 3.7,
3.8, 3.9, 3.11 and/or 4.3) such Lender shall promptly (i) notify the Agent of
such receipt, and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders under the Facility such
participations in the affected Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs
incurred in connection therewith, ratably with each of them; provided that if
all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter recovered
from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or
such additional costs, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. For the purposes of this Section, a Lender shall be deemed to
have received a payment of the Obligations when it exercises a right of set-off
against Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary unless such Property was being
held expressly and solely for or in connection with a transaction unrelated to
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.
4.7 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any
payment of, or Proceeds applied to the payment of, all or any part of the
Obligations, any Lender is for any reason required to surrender such payment or
Proceeds to any Person, because such payment or Proceeds is invalidated,
declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a
preference, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then: the
Obligations or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or
Proceeds had not been received by such Lender, and within 30 days after demand
therefor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Person and hold such Person
harmless, from and against the amount of such payment or Proceeds surrendered.
The Agent shall reflect the surrender of such payment or Proceeds, and any
subsequent payment by the Borrower to such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.7,
in the applicable loan account. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall be and
remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken
by such Lender in reliance upon such payment or Proceeds, and any such contrary
action so taken shall be without prejudice to such Lender's rights under the
Loan Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or
Proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.7
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the final and full payment
and performance of the Obligations.
4.8 Regulatory Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower receives a
certificate from a Lender pursuant to Section 3.8 (Requirements of Law) or 3.9
(Capital Adequacy Costs) setting forth increased fees and other costs to be
charged to the Borrower as a result of any event set forth in either such
section, then, solely as a result of receiving such certificate, the Borrower
may replace such Lender with another lender approved by the Agent, which
approval shall not be
56
unreasonably withheld (any such replacement being referred to herein as a
"Regulatory Replacement"). During the 90-day period commencing on the date the
Borrower receives such certificate under Section 3.8 or 3.9 (the "Suspension
Period"), the Borrower shall not be required to pay the increased fees and other
costs specified in such certificate for such 90-day period (but such fees and
costs shall accrue during such period). In order to make a Regulatory
Replacement, the Borrower must (a) give the Agent a written notice of its
intention to do so, which notice must be received by the Agent during the
Suspension Period and no later than ten Business Days prior to the proposed date
for the Regulatory Replacement and (b) consummate the Regulatory Replacement
within 90 days after the Agent receives such notice. If the Borrower makes a
timely Regulatory Replacement, it shall be required to pay the increased fees
and other costs which have accrued under Section 3.8 or 3.9 during the
Suspension Period in respect of the event described in the Lender's certificate,
after the end of the Suspension Period and on or prior to the date of the
Regulatory Replacement. If the Borrower does not make a timely Regulatory
Replacement (whether or not it gave notice to do so), then, at the end of the
Suspension Period, the Borrower shall immediately pay all fees and other charges
under Section 3.8 or 3.9 that were set forth in the Lender's certificate and
that accrued during the Suspension Period, and shall pay all such fees and other
charges accruing thereafter when due in accordance with Section 3.8 or 3.9. Upon
the Regulatory Replacement of a Lender, such Lender shall assign its Term Loans
and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to the new lender without recourse pursuant to a written agreement
meeting the requirements of Section 11.13(b) and otherwise mutually reasonably
acceptable to such Lender, the Borrower and the new lender, and the new lender
shall thereafter constitute a Lender hereunder for all purposes to the same
extent as if the assignment had been made pursuant to Section 11.13.
4.9 Replacement of Lender Due to Gaming Authorities. If any Gaming
Authority shall determine in a non-appealable final order that any Lender (an
"Unsuitable Lender") does not meet the suitability standards prescribed under
any applicable Gaming Law or the suitability standards of such Gaming Authority,
as the case may be, the Borrower may give notice in writing to the Agent and
such Unsuitable Lender of its intention to replace such Unsuitable Lender with a
financial institution designated in such notice. If the Agent shall, in the
exercise of its reasonable discretion and promptly following its receipt of such
notice, notify the Borrower and such Unsuitable Lender in writing that the
designated financial institution is satisfactory to the Agent (such consent not
being required where such financial institution is already a Lender or an
Approved Fund), then such Unsuitable Lender shall, subject to the payment of any
amounts due pursuant to Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 3.11 by the Borrower, assign,
in accordance with Section 11.13, its Term Loan Notes and other rights and
obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such designated
financial institution without recourse pursuant to a written agreement meeting
the requirements of Section 11.13(b) and otherwise mutually reasonably
acceptable to such Unsuitable Lender and the new lender, and the new lender
shall thereafter constitute a Lender hereunder for all purposes to the same
extent as if the assignment had been made pursuant to Section 11.13. The
Borrower shall pay to the Unsuitable Lender and the Agent all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Unsuitable Lender and the Agent in
connection with such assignment and assumption.
57
4.10 Agent's and Lenders' Books and Records. The Borrower agrees
that the Agent's and each Lender's books and records showing the Obligations and
the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall
constitute prima facie proof thereof, irrespective of whether any Obligation is
also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument.
4.11 Register. The Agent shall maintain a register (the "Register")
showing each Lender of a Loan hereunder. Any transfer or attempted transfer of a
Term Loan Note in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be null and
void, and the Agent shall not record such transfer on the Register or treat any
purported transferee of a Term Loan Note as the owner of such Term Loan Note for
any purpose.

and promptly comply, in all material respects, with the provisions of, and

72
that the failure to maintain the foregoing is not reasonably likely to have a

shall not be required to pay any Tax or Debt, or perform or discharge any other
obligation, that it is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently pursued, and it has established and maintains adequate reserves (in
the good faith judgment of the management of such Person) with respect thereto
in accordance with GAAP.
7.5 Existence, Good Standing and Legal Requirements. (a) The
Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain its corporate or

any and all other applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental orders,
except to the extent where such noncompliance is not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) The Borrower shall have the right, in good faith, to

cost or expense to the Agent or the Lenders, the validity of any Legal
Requirement and to postpone the compliance therewith, provided that (i) such

hold harmless the Agent and the Lenders from and against any liability and

7.6 Insurance. (a) The Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained insurance as evidenced by the Insurance Policies set forth in Section
U of the Disclosure Schedule (which shall include terrorism insurance), and
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent, (i) contemporaneously with
the execution hereof, the certificates of insurance evidencing the Insurance
Policies and (ii) all renewal certificates of insurance, at least thirty (30)
days before the expiration date of each expiring Insurance Policy if available
and commercially reasonable or otherwise as soon as practicable and within ten
(10) days after such renewal, upon the Agent's request, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Agent evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the Borrower's
payment of the premium for such Insurance Policy.

or insurers reasonably acceptable to the Agent with an A.M. Best rating and size

the Agent under a non-contributing Nevada standard mortgagee clause or an
equivalent endorsement on a standard form or such other form as may be
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in form and content. Loss of rental income
insurance shall name the Agent as loss payee. All property Insurance Policies
also shall contain an agreed amount (coinsurance waiver) and replacement cost
value endorsement and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements
and betterments which the Borrower is required to insure in accordance with any
Lease or any Material Operating Agreement. The insurance policy shall be
endorsed to also provide building replacement cost. The amount of any deductible
under any Insurance Policy must be reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Without
the Agent's prior written consent, the Borrower shall not name any Person other
than the Agent, as loss payee under any property Insurance Policies covering the
Improvements and such tenant improvements and betterments that the Borrower is
required to insure pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, if blanket
policies are obtained, this sentence shall not apply to property covered by such
blanket policies other than the Improvements and such tenant improvements and
betterments which the Borrower is required to insure pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence but subject to the terms and
conditions of Section 7.19 of this Agreement, such Insurance Policy shall
provide that any proceeds that are payable to a loss payee shall be payable to
the Agent only and requiring the endorsement of the Agent only.
(c) The Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not (x)
cancel or terminate any Insurance Policy, (y) modify the provisions of any
Insurance Policy relating to the coverage, deductibles and limits, or (z) modify
the provision of any Insurance Policy not relating to coverage, deductibles or
limits if, after giving effect to such modification, such policy would no longer
satisfy the requirements of this Agreement. Each Insurance Policy shall contain
a provision whereby the insurer (i) waives any right to claim any premiums and
commissions against the Agent provided that such policy need not waive the
requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the
insured, and (ii) provides that the Agent is permitted, but not obligated, to
make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of
cancellation due to nonpayment of premiums. In the event any Insurance Policy
(except for fidelity, general public and other liability and workers'
compensation insurance) shall contain
74
breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide, to the fullest extent
allowable under such policy, that with respect to the interest of the Agent,
such Insurance Policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure the Agent
regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of
warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named
insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Premises for purposes more hazardous
than permitted by the term thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or
proceeding taken by the Agent pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage.

Policies as the same become due and payable. The Borrower shall deliver to the
Agent certificates of insurance. The Borrower also shall deliver to the Agent,
within ten (10) days of Agent's request, a certificate of the Borrower or the
Borrower's insurance agent setting forth the particulars as to all such
Insurance Policies, that all premiums due thereon have been paid and that the
same are in full force and effect. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of each of the Insurance Policies, if available and commercially
reasonable or otherwise as soon as practicable, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Agent a certificate of insurance evidencing renewal of coverage as required
herein. Not later than sixty (60) days after the renewal of each of the
insurance policies, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent certificates of
insurance. Within ten (10) days after such renewal, if requested by the Agent,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent evidence of payment of premium
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if at any time the Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all
insurance policies required hereunder is maintained in full force and effect,
the Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon five (5) Business
Days prior notice to the Borrower, to take such action as the Agent deems
necessary in its reasonable discretion to protect its interest in the Premises,
including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance policies as the
Agent shall deem appropriate, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent
in connection with such action shall be paid by the Borrower.
(f) Any insurance maintained pursuant to this section may
be evidenced by blanket insurance policies covering the Premises and other
properties or assets of the Borrower or its affiliates, provided that any such
policy shall in all other respects comply with the requirements of this Section
and are otherwise reasonably approved by the Agent and its insurance consultant.
Agent shall reasonably determine whether such blanket policies shall provide
sufficient limits of insurance.
(g) The Insurance Policies set forth on Section U of the
Disclosure Schedule shall not be changed without the reasonable prior written
consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).
75
7.7 Environmental Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause its
Subsidiaries to: (a) conduct its business in full compliance with all
Environmental Laws applicable to it (including, without limitation, those
relating to such Person's generation, handling, use, storage, and disposal of
Hazardous Materials), except where non-compliance is not reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) notify the Agent of any Environmental Claim,
or event or circumstance on the basis of which an Environmental Claim involving
material liability could reasonably be expected to be made, in each case which
is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect upon becoming aware
thereof; (c) take prompt and appropriate action to respond to any Environmental
Claim, and regularly report to the Agent on such response with respect to any
Environmental Claim which would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and (d) pay when due all fines and penalties assessed against
them for violations of Environmental Laws, except any such fine or penalty that
it is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued or
which is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, whenever (A) Agent reasonably believes
that there may be non-compliance by the Borrower or a Subsidiary with any
Environmental Law, which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
(B) required by applicable law, and (C) any time during the continuance of an
Event or Event of Default, the Borrower shall, at the Agent's reasonable request
(acting upon the reasonable direction of the Required Term Loan A Lenders) and
at the Borrower's reasonable expense: (a) cause an independent environmental
engineer reasonably acceptable to the Agent to conduct such tests of the
Premises and prepare and deliver to the Agent and the Borrower, with a copy for
each Lender, a report setting forth the results of such tests, a proposed plan
for responding to any environmental problems described therein, and an estimate
of the costs thereof; and (b) provide to the Agent, with a copy for each Lender,
a supplemental report of such engineer whenever the scope of the environmental
problems, or the response thereto or the estimated costs thereof, shall change.
If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries fails to conduct any such
environmental test or provide any such report to the Agent, the Agent is
authorized to enter upon the Borrower's or Subsidiary's premises at reasonable
times and on reasonable notice to conduct or have conducted such test and obtain
such report at the Borrower's reasonable expense. The Borrower hereby grants to
the Agent a license for such purpose, which shall be irrevocable until all of
the Obligations have been fully and finally paid and the Commitments have
terminated.
7.8 Maintain Operating and Other Accounts. The Borrower and any
Subsidiary thereof shall (i) maintain its Operating Accounts, cash management
arrangements and all other Accounts with institutions that shall have executed
blocked account agreements in favor of the Agent in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and (ii) notify the Agent promptly of the
closing of any Account specified on Section P of the Disclosure Schedule and the
opening up of any new Accounts (in detail reasonably satisfactory to the Agent,
which shall include, prior to the opening of such Accounts, obtaining blocked
account agreements in favor of the Agent and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent). The Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof and any Manager
shall maintain funds only in Accounts for which blocked account agreements have
been executed in favor of the Agent in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent. No funds in any Account shall be commingled with any
other funds of any Manager, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. As long as
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, any
Subsidiary thereof or if permitted under any
76
Management Agreement, any Manager, as the case may be, may make or receive
withdrawals from the Operating Accounts and other Accounts to the extent not
prohibited under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.9 End of Fiscal Years. The Borrower will, for financial
reporting purposes, cause its, and each of its Subsidiaries' Fiscal Years to end

7.10 Discharge of Liens.
(a) Removal by the Borrower. In the event that,
notwithstanding the covenants contained in Section 8.8, a Lien which is not a
Permitted Lien at any time encumbers any Collateral or any portion thereof, the
Borrower, at its option, shall either (i) promptly discharge or cause to be
discharged by payment to the lienor or Lien claimant or promptly secure removal
by bonding or deposit with the county clerk or otherwise or (ii) pledge cash
collateral to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in an amount equal to
such Lien, within 30 days after the date of notice thereof; provided that,
compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of the provisions of Section 8.8. The Borrower shall deliver
to the Agent upon written request therefor all receipts or other reasonably
satisfactory evidence of payment, bonding, deposit of taxes, assessments, Liens
or any other item which may cause any such Lien to be filed against any
Collateral. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall fully preserve the
Lien and the priority of each Security Document without cost or expense to the
Agent or the Lenders.
(b) Removal by the Agent. If the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries fails to promptly discharge, remove or pledge cash collateral in
respect of any such Lien or mechanics' or materialmen's claim of Lien as
described above, which is not being contested by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted, within 30 days after the receipt of notice thereof, then
the Agent may, but shall not be required to, procure the release and discharge
of such Lien, mechanics' or materialmen's claim of Lien and any judgment or
decree thereon, and in furtherance thereof may, in its reasonable discretion,
effect any settlement or compromise with the lienor or Lien claimant or post any
bond or furnish any security or indemnity as the Agent, in its reasonable
discretion, may elect. In settling, compromising or arranging for the discharge
of any Liens under this subsection, the Agent shall not be required to establish
or confirm the validity or amount of the Lien. The Borrower agrees that all

governmental stamp and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges
arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, recording
or registration of any Security Document or any other Loan Document, (except to
the extent already recorded) or memoranda thereof (but only to the extent that
any such amounts are not required to be paid by Aladdin pursuant to the Purchase
and Sale Agreement) by reason of its interest in, or measured by amounts payable

and shall pay all stamp taxes and other taxes required to be paid on the Notes
or any other Loan Document, but excluding in the case of each Lender and the
Agent, Taxes imposed on its income by a jurisdiction under the laws of which it
is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or in which
its applicable lender office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder is
located and other taxes described in the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 3.7(a). If the Borrower fails to make or cause to be made any of the
payments described in the preceding sentence within 15 days after notice thereof
from the Agent (or such shorter period as is necessary to protect the loss of or
diminution in value of any Collateral by reason of tax foreclosure, as
determined by the Agent, in its reasonable discretion) accompanied by
documentation verifying the nature and amount of such payments, the Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) pay the amount due and the Borrower shall
reimburse all amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. All such advances or
expenditures by the Agent shall be payable as provided in Section 11.10.
(c) Costs of Defending and Upholding the Lien. The Agent
may, upon at least five Business Days' prior notice to the Borrower, (i) appear
in and defend any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of the Agent
or the Lenders in which the Agent or any Lender is named or which the Agent in
its reasonable discretion determines is reasonably likely to materially
adversely affect the Mortgaged Property, any other Collateral, any Security
Document, the Liens thereof or any other Loan Document and (ii) during an Event
of Default, institute any action or proceeding which the Agent reasonably
determines should be instituted to protect the interest or rights of the Agent
and the Lenders in the Mortgaged Property or other Collateral or under any Loan
Document. The Borrower agrees that all reasonable costs and expenses expended or
otherwise incurred pursuant to this subsection (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) by the Agent shall be paid by the Borrower or reimbursed
to the Agent, as provided in Section 11.10.
(d) Costs of Enforcement. The Borrower agrees to bear and
shall pay or reimburse the Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the terms of

Borrower has not spent and paid any of the foregoing amounts on Renovation
Capital Expenditures by the foregoing dates (or the dates set forth in Section
4.3(b) solely in the event that the tolling provisions set forth in Section
4.3(b) are applicable), the Borrower shall make the mandatory payments of
principal in the amounts and at the times set forth in Section 4.3(b) with

harmless Agent and Lenders from and against any and all costs, expenses, loss,
damage or liability including any and all cost, expense,
79
loss, damage or liability which Agent or Lenders may suffer or incur by reason
of the failure of the title to all or any part of the Premises, subject to
Permitted Liens or by reason of the failure or liability of the Borrower, for
any reason, to convey the rights, titles and interests which the Mortgage
purports to mortgage or assign, and all amounts at any time so payable by the
Borrower shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage.
7.16 Management of Premises. (a) If the Borrower enters into a

shopping center and the Casino to be open for business as a casino, except to
the extent necessary to undertake the Renovation Capital Expenditures with due

shall cause the Premises to be at all times operated, managed and maintained, at
all times and in the manner and accordance with the standards required pursuant
to any Management Agreement and any Leasing Services Agreement (including all
marketing, advertising, promotional and reservation programs), except where the
failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, or would not result in a material default under such agreements (if any)
but in no event below Comparable Standards. The Borrower shall, except where the
failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, or would not result in a material default under such agreements observe,
perform, and discharge in all material respects all obligations, covenants, and
warranties provided for under the terms of any Management Agreement and any

delayed. The Borrower shall not amend, modify or waive any material provision of
any Management Agreement or any Leasing Services Agreement except upon notice
and with the prior written consent of Agent (acting upon the reasonable
direction of the Required Term Loan A Lenders), which consent shall not be

the Agent and the Lenders. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower may replace
any Manager with an Identified Hotel Manager without the prior written consent
of the Agent.

through (v) above is not satisfied within eighteen (18) months from and after
the date of the respective damage, destruction or casualty, or if such
conditions cannot reasonably be satisfied within said eighteen (18)-month
period, if the Borrower fails to commence satisfaction of such condition within
said (18)-month period or thereafter fails to diligently pursue such efforts to
completion, then the Agent may apply the insurance proceeds actually received by

Insurance Policies and the proceeds thereof shall inure to the benefit of and
pass to the Agent.
7.20 Application of Condemnation Proceeds. The Agent shall be
entitled to receive any and all sums which may be awarded or become payable to
the Borrower for any Taking of the Premises for public or quasi-public use, or

become payable to the Borrower for damages caused by public works or
construction on or near the Premises. All such sums are hereby assigned to the
Agent and the Borrower shall, upon the reasonable request of the Agent, make,
execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all additional assignments and
documents as may be necessary from time to time to enable the Agent to collect
and receive any such sums. The Agent may apply all such sums actually received
by the Agent to the payment of the Obligations in such order and manner as is
set forth herein. If the Premises or any part thereof is condemned, so long as
no Event of
87
Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, and provided the Borrower
promptly files all claims and diligently prosecutes the condemnation proceeding,
the Borrower shall have the right to file, adjust, settle and prosecute any
claim for any such awards or compensation relating to any such condemnation
proceeding; provided, however, the Borrower shall not agree to any adjustment or
settlement of any such claim payable with respect to any such condemnation
proceeding which awards and proceeds are reasonably estimated by the Agent to be
equal to or greater than $5,000,000; and provided, further, in the event that
the Agent reasonably determines that the Borrower is not diligently prosecuting
such claim, the Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to revoke
the Borrower's right to adjust, settle and prosecute any claim for any such
awards or compensation relating to such any such condemnation proceeding by
delivering a notice of same to the Borrower, which revocation shall be effective
immediately upon the Borrower's receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Premises or any part thereof is condemned and the awards and
proceeds of condemnation are reasonably estimated by the Agent to equal or
exceed five million Dollars ($5,000,000), then the Borrower authorizes and
empowers Agent, at Agent's reasonable option, as attorney-in-fact for the
Borrower, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in the Agent's or the Borrower's
name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation of the Premises or
any portion thereof, to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such
condemnation, to collect and receive condemnation awards and to deduct the
Agent's reasonable expenses in the settlement process. The Agent shall provide
the Borrower with a written summary of all expenses deducted from such awards.
If Agent elects not to participate in such condemnation proceeding, then the
Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceeding.
Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be, under any circumstances, liable or
responsible for failure to collect, or exercise diligence in the collection of,
any of such sums. Any sums so collected shall be applied by the Agent, first, to
the reasonable expenses, if any, of collection, and then in the same manner and
under the same conditions as insurance proceeds are applied as set forth in
Section 4.3(e) hereof.
7.21 Appraisals. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Agent shall have the right to cause an Appraisal of the Premises to
be performed at any time and from time to time; provided, that only one such

the Borrower shall cooperate with the Agent and any such appraiser and their
agents and employees in connection with such Appraisal.

liability if (1) the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall be

and in any order: (i) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 10;
(ii) declare any or all Obligations to be immediately due and payable; and (iii)
pursue its other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable

with a interest), with full power of substitution, and in the name of the
Borrower, if Agent elects to do so, at any time upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default, (a) to use such sums as are necessary
to make such alterations, repairs and renovations to all or any portion of the

to the Premises to which the Borrower is party, and (h) to negotiate and
execute, on behalf of the Borrower, any Lease, Management Agreement or Leasing
Services Agreement or amendment, modification, extension or supplement to any
Lease, Management Agreement or Leasing Services Agreement. The power-of-attorney
granted hereby is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Agent
shall have no obligation to undertake any of the foregoing actions, and if Agent
should do so, it shall have no liability to the Borrower for the sufficiency or
adequacy of any such actions taken by Agent, except with respect to liability
arising from Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that
Agent assumes no liability or responsibility for (i) performance of any duties
of the Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) compliance
with any applicable Legal Requirements, any Permitted Liens, any Lease, any
Management Agreement, any Operating Agreement or any Leasing Services Agreement,
or (iii) any other matters pertaining to control over the management and affairs
of the Borrower, nor by any such action shall Agent or Lenders be deemed to
create a partnership or joint venture with the Borrower.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents, Agent may exercise any rights and remedies
available to the Agent pursuant to the Subordination Agreements, including the
termination of any Management Agreement or any Leasing Services Agreement as
referred to therein and/or may require that the Borrower exercise any rights and
remedies available to the Borrower pursuant to any Management Agreement or any
Leasing Services Agreement, including the termination of such agreements to the
extent such termination is then permitted pursuant to the terms thereof. Upon a
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to all or any portion of
the Premises, Agent shall have the right to terminate any Management Agreement
or any Leasing Services Agreement or exercise any other rights and remedies
pursuant to and as and upon the terms described in any Management Agreement or
the Leasing Services Agreement and the Subordination Agreements.
(e) Any funds of Agent or Lenders used for any purpose
referred to in this Article 9 shall constitute a portion of the Obligations,
shall bear interest from the date advanced at the Initial Default Rate or the
Subsequent Default Rate, as applicable, shall be secured pursuant to the Loan
Documents by all collateral thereunder and shall be due and payable upon demand.
(f) If Borrower has failed to keep or perform any
covenant or obligation whatsoever contained in any Loan Document beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, in addition to any other
rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to any Person to, perform or attempt to perform
said covenant or obligation, and any payment made or expense incurred in the
performance or attempted performance of any such covenant or obligation shall be
a part of the Obligations, and Borrower shall pay to Agent, upon demand, all
sums so advanced or paid by Agent, together with interest at the Initial Default
Rate or the Subsequent Default Rate, as applicable, from the date when paid by
Agent. No such payment by Agent shall constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default. In addition to the Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, Agent
shall be subrogated to all rights, titles, liens, and security interests
securing the payment of
107
any debt, claim, tax or assessment for the payment of which Agent may make an
advance or which Agent may pay.
9.3 Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Guaranty Agreements.

connection with the preservation, collection and enforcement of the Obligations,
the Loan Documents, the Collateral, or otherwise, including, without limitation,

that in connection with the payment of any principal in respect of the Term Loan
A, 86.23% of the amount of any such payment shall be allocated by the Agent to
the Term Loan Notes held by the Pre-Petition Swap Lender unless and until the
Pre- Petition Swap Claim has been paid in full) and (ii) all unpaid Hedging
Obligations of the Borrower under any Hedging Agreement relating to the Term
Loan A;

B Lenders, incurred in connection with the preservation, collection and

MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Prior Recourse to Collateral. The
enumeration herein of the Agent's and the Lenders' rights and remedies is not
intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and
not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Agent or any
of the Lenders may have under the UCC or other applicable law. The Agent and the
Lenders shall have the right, in their sole discretion, and in the manner set
forth in this Agreement, to determine which rights and remedies are to be
exercised and in which order. The exercise of one right or remedy shall not
preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be cumulative. The Agent
and the Lenders may, without limitation, proceed directly against the Borrower
to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral.
109
11.2 No Implied Waivers. No act, failure or delay by the Agent or
any Lender, or any course of dealing, shall constitute a waiver of any of its
rights and remedies. No single or partial waiver by the Agent or any Lender of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or a breach or
default hereunder or thereunder, or of any right or remedy which the Agent or
any Lender may have, shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach,
default, right or remedy or of the same provision, breach, default, right or
remedy on a future occasion. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders shall affect
their rights to require strict performance of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

prohibited or invalid, under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to
such extent, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
11.4 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION
5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
11.5 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Service of Process. The
Borrower agrees that, in addition to any other courts that may have jurisdiction
under applicable laws, any action or proceeding to enforce or arising out of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be commenced in the

States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the Borrower
consents and submits in advance to such jurisdiction and agrees that venue will
be proper in such courts on any such matter. The Borrower hereby waives personal
service of process and agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action
or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and shall confer
personal jurisdiction if served by registered or certified mail to the Borrower.
The consent to forum set forth in this Section shall not be deemed to preclude
the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum, or the taking of any
action under this Agreement to enforce the same, in any appropriate
jurisdiction. The Borrower waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue in the foregoing courts or that any such action has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.
11.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY, RIGHTS OF SETOFF,
AND THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE COUNTERCLAIMS (OTHER THAN COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIMS) IN

OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS OR THE COLLATERAL,
OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO OR THERETO. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO CONFIRMS THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS ARE INFORMED AND FREELY MADE.
110
11.7 Survival of Representations and Warranties and
Indemnification. All of the Borrower's representations and warranties and
indemnifications contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution,
delivery and acceptance thereof by the parties, notwithstanding any
investigation by the Agent or any Lender or their respective agents.
11.8 Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold the Agent, each Lender, and their respective directors,
officers, agents, employees and counsel (each an "Indemnitee" and collectively,
the "Indemnitees"), harmless from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments, penalties or expenses imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any of them (except as a result of their gross
negligence or wilful misconduct or a claim against a Lender or the Agent by
another Lender or the Agent), whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising
out of or by reason of any litigation, investigation, claim, or proceeding
(whether based on any federal, state or local laws or other statutes or
regulations, including, without limitation, securities or commercial laws and
regulations, Environmental Laws, under common law or at equity, or on contract
or otherwise) commenced or threatened, which arise out of or are in any way
related to or based upon (i) the breach by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries of
any of the terms of the Loan Documents, (ii) any claim of injury or damage to
Persons or property, which injury or damage occurs after the Closing Date, or
any other claim or demand the underlying matter of which occurred after the
Closing Date which in any way relates to the Property, the Borrower, the
Investor Group, or the Loan, or (iii) any Hazardous Material on, in, under or
emanating from the Premises, or transported from the Premises or any act,
omission to act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto or any use by
the Borrower of the proceeds of the Term Loans (except for losses arising on
account of the Indemnitee's gross negligence or wilful misconduct or a claim
against a Lender or the Agent by another Lender or the Agent) (collectively,
"Indemnified Loss"). Indemnified Loss includes, without limitation, amounts paid
in settlement, court costs, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
reasonably incurred in connection with any such litigation, investigation, claim
or proceeding. Without limiting the foregoing, if, by reason of any suit or
proceeding of any kind, nature, or description against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other party against any
Indemnitee, which in the reasonable discretion of such Person makes it advisable
for such Person to seek counsel for protection and preservation of its Security
Interest, or to defend its own interest, such expenses and reasonable counsel
fees shall be allowed to such Person, to the extent that the underlying matter
gives rise to an indemnity under this Section 11.8; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall be required to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of
one counsel for the Term Loan A Lenders and one counsel for the Term Loan B
Lenders, but subject to any limitations or requirements set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable, the Borrower shall
contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of the Indemnified Loss. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement. The Borrower's obligations under this Section
shall be part of the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. The
Borrower shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably acceptable to
the applicable Indemnitee, against any litigation, investigation, claim or
proceeding which could give rise to an Indemnified Loss, unless such litigation,
investigation, claim or proceeding shall have been commenced by or on behalf of
the Borrower. The Agent and each Lender agrees to give the Borrower written
notice of any such litigation, investigation, claim, or proceeding
111
promptly after the Agent or such Lender becomes aware thereof, but the Agent's
or such Lender's failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of
its obligations under this Section unless it can be proved that the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates were actually prejudiced by such failure.
The Borrower, if it exercises such right, shall diligently pursue such defense
and shall give the applicable Indemnitee notice of the status of such defense
and any material developments. The Borrower will not enter into any settlement
of any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding in which they are
conducting the defense without the prior written consent of the applicable
Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
11.9 Other Security and Guaranties. The Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, without notice or demand and without affecting the Borrower's
obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a) take from any Person other than
the Borrower and/or Guarantor and hold collateral for the payment of all or any
part of the Obligations and exchange, enforce or release such collateral or any
part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of
all or any part of the Obligations and release any such endorser or Guarantor,
or any Person who has given any Lien in any other collateral as security for the
payment of all or any part of the Obligations, or any other Person in any way
obligated to pay all or any part of the Obligations.
11.10 Fees and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, within
thirty (30) days after receipt of a written invoice with details of such costs,
expenses and advances, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and advances
that the Agent or any one representative of the Term Loan A Lenders or any one
representative of the Term Loan B Lenders (provided, that at any time after an
Event of Default shall be continuing the Borrower shall be liable for costs and
expenses of each Lender), pays or incurs in connection with the administration
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or that the Agent or any
representative of the Term Loan A Lenders or Term Loan B Lenders (provided, that
at any time after an Event of Default shall be continuing the Borrower shall be

financing statements and continuation statements, and other actions to perfect,
protect, and continue the Security Interest; (e) sums paid or incurred to pay
any amount or take any action required of the Borrower after the Closing Date
under the Loan Documents that the Borrower fails to pay or take; (f) reasonable

otherwise enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents, or to defend any claims
made or threatened against the Agent or any Lender arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, preparations

Default has occurred and is continuing; or, otherwise, thirty (30) days after
the Agent's demand on the Borrower for payment thereof, together with an invoice

Borrower within such 30-day period. The Borrower shall pay from its equity all

11.12 Waiver of Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein,
the Borrower waives presentment, protest and notice of demand or dishonor and
protest as to any instrument, as well as any and all other notices to which it
might otherwise be entitled. No notice to or demand on the Borrower which the
Agent or any Lender may elect to give shall entitle the Borrower to any or
further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
11.13 Binding Effect; Assignment; Confidentiality. (a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that no right or obligation of the Borrower may be assigned or
otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders,
and any purported assignment or transfer without such consent shall be void.
(b) A Lender may assign and delegate to any one or more
banks or other entities with the prior written consent of the Borrower which
consent shall not be unreasonably
114
withheld or delayed (but no such consent shall be required for assignments after
the occurrence of an Event of Default or with respect to Eligible Assignees) and
with the written consent of the Agent, all or a portion of its outstanding Term
Loans A and Term Loans B and interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each such assignment pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall (i) be an assignment of a constant and not
a varying, ratable percentage of such Lender's interest in the Loan, (ii) be in
an aggregate principal amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and
(iii) only be permitted if the assigning Lender's unassigned interest in the
Loan shall be in a principal amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
after giving effect to such transaction unless such transaction encompasses all
of such Lender's rights in and to the Loan in which case such Lender shall have
assigned all of its rights in and to the Loan.
If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder
or under the Term Loan Notes, any reference in this Agreement, the Term Loan
Notes or the other Loan Documents to such assigning Lender shall thereafter
refer to such Lender and to the respective assignee to the extent of their
respective interests, and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of
such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and
benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender. Each assignment pursuant
to this Section 11.13 shall be effected by the execution and delivery of an
assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (an
"Assignment Agreement"). In the event of any such assignment either the
assigning or the assignee Lender shall pay to the Agent a nonrefundable
assignment fee of $500 and, and at the time of any assignment pursuant to this
Section 11.13, (1) the signature pages hereof shall be deemed to be amended to
reflect the Commitment or Commitments of the respective assignee (which shall
result in a direct reduction to the respective Commitment or Commitments of the
assigning Lender) and of the other Lenders, and (2) such assignee shall become a
party to the Loan Documents as a Lender and such assignee shall have, to the
extent of such assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of a Lender
under the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Borrower agree to execute such
documents (including without limitation amendments to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in
this Section 11.13(b) shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its
Term Loan Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made
by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.
(c) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more
financial institutions or other entities (a "Participating Lender")
participating interests in the Loans, the Term Loan Notes held by such Lender,
the Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder,
provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) the Participating Lender shall not have
any rights under the Loan Documents (the Participating Lender's rights against
such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the
agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participating Lender relating
thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined
as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that the participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6 (Taxes) and 3.10 (Indemnity)
of this Agreement to the extent that the granting Lender would have been
entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been entered into or sold
(and accordingly, no Participating Lender shall be entitled to receive any
greater amount pursuant
115
to such Sections than the granting Lender would have been entitled to receive in
respect of the amount of the participation granted by such granting Lender to
such Participating Lender had no such participation been granted), (iv) the
Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
granting Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents, and (v) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating
interest under which the Participating Lender shall have rights to approve any
amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, the Loan Documents
except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous
consent as described in Section 11.14. In the case of any participation under
this Section 11.13(c), the Participating Lender shall not have any rights under
the Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be
determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that the
Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and
unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Participating Lender shall be
deemed to have the right of set-off 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.
(d) Each Lender and the Agent agree to take normal and
reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of
all non-public information provided to them by the Borrower, any Subsidiary of
the Borrower, any member of the Investor Group or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or by the Agent on the Borrower's or Subsidiary's
behalf in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document and agrees and
undertakes that neither they nor any of their Affiliates shall use any such
information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms
contemplated by this Agreement. Any Lender or the Agent may disclose such
information: (i) at the request of any bank regulatory authority or in
connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (ii)
pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in
accordance with the provisions of any applicable law; (iv) at the express
direction of any other agency of any State of the United States of America or of
any other jurisdiction in which such Lender conducts its business; and (v) to
such Lender's independent auditors and other professional advisors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose
to any permitted assignee or Participating Lender and any prospective permitted
assignee or Participating Lender such financial and other information in such
Lender's possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which has been
delivered to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered
to a Lender by the Borrower or the Agent in connection with the Lender's credit
evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement, provided that
such assignee or Participating Lender agrees in writing to such Lender and the
Borrower to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of
the Lenders hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described
herein, from the commencement of discussions with respect to this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto and each of their respective
employees, representatives or other agents, are, and hereby confirm that they
have been, permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitations of
any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions occurring
pursuant to this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such parties related to
such tax treatment and tax structure.
116
11.14 Modification. (a) This Agreement and the Loan Documents are
intended by the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders to be the final, complete,
and exclusive expression of the agreement between them. This Agreement
supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements relating to the subject
matter hereof. Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, no
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and
no consent with respect to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders, and then such waiver shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, no waiver,
amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender
affected thereby, increase the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to
any additional obligations (except pursuant to an assignment by one Lender to
another Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement).
(b) In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this
Section to the contrary, no waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by each Term Loan A Lender affected thereby, do any of the
following:
(i) reduce the principal of, or the rate of
interest on, any Term Loan A or of any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any Loan Document to any Term Loan A Lender;
(ii) change the percentage of the Term Loan A
Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term
Loan A which shall be required for the Term Loan A Lenders to take any
action hereunder;
(iii) amend this Section 11.14, or the definitions
of Required Lenders and Required Term Loan A Lenders; and
(iv) release any material portion of the
Collateral except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Loan
Documents;
(c) In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this
Section to the contrary, no waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by each Term Loan B Lender affected thereby, do any of the
following:
(i) reduce the principal of, or the rate of
interest on, any Term Loan B or of any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any Loan Document to any Term Loan B Lender;
(ii) change the percentage of the Term Loan B
Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term
Loan B which shall be required for the Term Loan B Lenders to take any
action hereunder;
(iii) amend this Section 11.14, or the definitions
of Required Lenders and Required Term Loan B Lenders; and
117
(iv) release any material portion of the
Collateral except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Loan
Documents;
and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Required Term Loan A Lenders
and Required Term Loan B Lenders, as the case may be, affect the rights or
duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any Loan Document. The parties
hereto agree that any provisions in this Agreement relating to the Time Share
Premises (including, without limitation, the Disposition or development thereof
and any joint venture or other agreement with respect thereto) that requires
consent or approval of the Lenders shall only require the consent or approval of
the Required Term Loan A Lenders (other than the FF&E Lender until such time as
the Initial Time Share Premises Payment is paid and thereafter the consent or
approval of all of the Required Term Loan A Lenders shall be required).
11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by the Agent, each Lender and the Borrower in separate
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement. Execution of the signature page
or pages of any Loan Document by the Lenders, the Agent or any Loan Party and
the delivery of such page or pages to the Agent or its counsel by facsimile
shall be fully effective as if any such party had executed and delivered an
original counterpart of such Loan Document.
11.16 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for
convenience only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to
modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.
11.17 Right of Set-Off; Security Interest in Deposit Accounts.
Without limitation of any other or additional rights granted by applicable law,
whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Lender is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any
Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or
any Guarantor (whether or not such deposits or other indebtedness are then due
and payable) against any and all of the Obligations (including interests in
obligations purchased by a Lender under Section 4.6), whether or not then due
and payable or contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby further
grants the Agent and each Lender a security interest in all deposits and
accounts maintained with the Agent or such Lender as security for the
Obligations.
11.18 Limitation of Liability. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, in the Term Loan Notes, the Mortgage or in
the other Loan Documents, no recourse shall be had for the payment of the
principal, interest or other amounts owed hereunder or under the Term Loan Notes
or the other Loan Documents, or for any claim based on this Agreement, the Term
Loan Notes or any other Loan Document, against any Member or any of its assets
(other than from the interest of such Member in the Borrower), or against any
principal,
118
partner, member, shareholder, officer, director, agent or employee of the
Borrower or of any such Member (other than from the indirect interest of any
such Person in the Borrower), it being expressly understood that the sole
remedies of Agent and Lenders with respect to such amounts and claims shall be
against the assets of the Borrower, including the Mortgaged Property and other
Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement
(including the provisions of this Section 11.18), the Term Loan Notes or the
other Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any of the Borrower's other
obligations herein, under the Term Loan Notes, the Environmental Indemnity or
any other Loan Documents.
11.19 Time Within Which to Consent to Certain Actions. Whenever this
Agreement requires the Required Lenders to consent to an action or proposed
action to be taken by the Borrower relating solely to a Material Operating
Agreement, unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, such consent (i)
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) shall be deemed to have
been given by the Required Lenders if the Required Lenders have not responded to
the request for consent within 30 days of receipt thereof.
ARTICLE 12
THE AGENT
In order to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
BNY Asset Solutions LLC is hereby appointed to act as Agent on behalf of the
Lenders. Each of the Lenders and each subsequent holder of any Term Loan Note by
its acceptance thereof, irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on
its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder and under the Security
Documents and other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to or required
of the Agent by the terms hereof and the terms thereof together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, members, managers, employees or agents shall be liable as
such for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or
under any of the Security Documents and other Loan Documents or in connection
herewith or therewith (a) at the request or with the approval of the Required
Term Loan A Lenders (or in the event that the Term Loan A is paid in full, the
Required Term Loan B Lenders) or the Required Lenders, as the context requires
(or, if otherwise specifically required hereunder or thereunder, the consent of
all the Lenders, or all of the Term Loan A Lenders or all of the Term Loan B
Lenders) or (b) in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to
any Lender.
The Agent is hereby expressly authorized on behalf of the Lenders,
without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of each
of the Lenders any payment of principal of or interest on the Term Loan Notes
outstanding hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder paid to the Agent,
and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of all payments and
insurance proceeds so received, (b) to distribute to each Lender copies of all
notices, agreements and other material as provided for in this Agreement or in
the Security Documents and other Loan Documents as received by such Agent and
(c) to take all actions with respect to this Agreement and the Security
Documents and other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent.
119
With respect to the release of Collateral, the Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release
any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any property covered by this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents (i) upon termination or expiration of the
Commitments, the payment and satisfaction of all obligations arising with
respect to the Term Loans, all fees and expenses, or (ii) constituting property
being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents (and the Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any certificate
stating that the property is being sold or disposed of in compliance with the
provisions of the Loan Documents, without further inquiry); provided, however,
that (x) the Agent shall not be required to execute any release on terms which,
in the Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any
obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens
without recourse or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect or impair any Liens upon all interests retained, all of which
shall continue to constitute part of the property covered by the Loan Documents.
In the event that (a) the Borrower fails to pay when due the principal
of or interest on any Term Loan Note or any fee payable hereunder or (b) the
Agent receives written notice of or otherwise becomes aware of the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default, the Agent shall promptly give written notice
thereof to the Lenders, and shall take such action with respect to such Event of
Default or other condition or event as it shall be directed to take by the
Required Term Loan A Lenders (but shall not be required to take any such actions
which violate any law or any term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document);
provided, however, that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such
directions, the Agent may take such action or refrain from taking such action
hereunder or under the Security Documents or other Loan Documents with respect
to a Event or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests
of the Lenders.
The Agent shall not be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders
for the effectiveness, enforceability, perfection, value, genuineness, validity
or due execution of this Agreement, the Term Loan Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents or Collateral or any other agreements or certificates, requests,
financial statements, notices or opinions of counsel or for any recitals,
statements, warranties or representations contained herein or in any such
instrument or be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants,
conditions, agreements or obligations of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any other agreements on the part of the Borrower and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall, in the absence of
Knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to accept any certificate furnished
pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as conclusive
evidence of the facts stated therein and shall be entitled to rely on any note,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message,
statement, order or other document which it believes in good faith to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. It
is understood and agreed that the Agent may exercise its rights and powers under
other agreements and instruments to which it is or may be a party, and engage in
other transactions with the Borrower, as though it were not Agent of the Lenders
hereunder.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, members,
managers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower on
account of the failure or delay in
120
performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to
any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any
other Lender or the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder or in
connection herewith.
The Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by it in connection
with matters arising under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and
any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion
of such counsel shall be full justification and protection to it. The Agent may
exercise any of its powers and rights and perform any duty under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents through agents or attorneys.
The Agent and the Borrower may deem and treat the payee of any Term
Loan Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been
delivered as provided herein by such payee to the Agent and the Borrower.
The Agent and/or its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, or other
affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent.
Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Agent in the amount of such
Lender's pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder) of any expenses
incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agent, including counsel fees and
compensation of agents paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, not
reimbursed by the Borrower and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and
any of its directors, officers, members, managers, employees or agents, on
demand, in the amount of its pro rata share, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or such directors, officers,
members, managers, employees or agents in its or their capacity as, or acting on
behalf of, the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of
them under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to
the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgment, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent, or any Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such
Lender is party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, or any Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and
the Borrower. Upon any such
121
resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If
no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by such Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, and
with the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank or other financial
institution with an office (or an Affiliate with an office) in New York, New
York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such
successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under each of the
other Loan Documents. After any Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of
this Article shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to
take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by the Agent pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall
be requested in writing to do so by the Required Term Loan A Lenders or Required
Lenders, as the context so requires (and the Agent shall not be obligated to
take any such requested action which violates applicable law or any terms of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document).
ARTICLE 13
GUARANTEES
Each Guarantor party hereto unconditionally guarantees, as a primary
obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other
Guarantor party hereto, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and
interest on the Term Loans and of all other Obligations, when and as due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice or prepayment or otherwise. Each
Guarantor party hereto further agrees that the Obligations may be extended and
renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and
that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or
renewal of any Obligations.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor party hereto
waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any
other Person of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of
its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the obligations of a Guarantor party hereto hereunder shall
not be affected by (a) the failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any
other Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of
any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, any guarantee or any other agreement; (c) the release of any security
held by the Agent or any Lender for the Obligations or any of them; or (d) the
failure of the Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any
other Guarantor of the Obligations.
Each Guarantor party hereto further agrees that its guarantee
constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by
122
the Agent or any Lender to any security (if any) held for payment of the
Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of
the Agent or any Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other Person.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each
Guarantor party hereto hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without
limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise,
and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
obligations of each Guarantor party hereto hereunder shall not be discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Agent or any Lender to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or
under any other Loan Document, any guarantee or any other agreement, by any
waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by
any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary
the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor
as a matter of law or equity.
Each Guarantor party hereto further agrees that its guarantee shall
remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction
in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of principal or of interest on any Obligation or
of any other Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent
or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, Guarantor
or otherwise.
Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, each
Guarantor party hereto hereby waives and releases all rights of subrogation
against each Loan Party and its property and all rights of indemnification,
contribution and reimbursement from each Loan Party and its property, in each
case in connection with this guarantee and any payments made hereunder, and
regardless of whether such rights arise by operation of law, pursuant to
contract or otherwise.
