2.2.3(e), each Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section
2.2.3) paid by Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that, if
Borrowers determine that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally
imposed or asserted, Lender shall, upon payment by Borrowers of the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, allow Borrowers to contest (and shall cooperate in such contest), the
imposition of such tax upon the reasonable request of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense;
provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to participate in any contest
that would, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to a material commercial disadvantage or require
it to disclose any information it considers confidential or proprietary. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by Lender (together with any supporting
detail reasonably requested by Borrowers), shall be conclusive, provided that such amounts
are determined on a reasonable basis.
(iii) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under U.S. law, the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrowers are located (if other than the
U.S.), or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this
Agreement shall deliver to Borrowers, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, or as
reasonably requested by Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers
(or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have
been purchased), on or before the date that such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement,
two (2) properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
Form W-8IMY, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or successor forms thereto), claiming a
complete exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrowers
under this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware
of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S.
Lender
54
(unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a change in law) and shall promptly
notify Borrowers at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.
(iv) Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender that is incorporated under the laws of
the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that, on or before it becomes a party to
this Agreement and from time to time thereafter before the expiration or obsolescence of the
previously delivered form, it will deliver to Borrowers a United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish exemption from United
States backup withholding tax. If required by applicable law, Borrowers are hereby authorized to
deduct from any payments due to Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.3 hereof the amount of any
withholding taxes resulting from Lender’s failure to comply with this Section 2.2.3(e)(iv).
(v) If Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of or
will receive a credit for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which Borrowers have
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), it shall pay over to Borrowers
an amount equal to the additional amounts paid by Borrowers under this Section 2.2.3(e)
(with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrowers,
upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any interest to
the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to Borrowers) to Lender in the event
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority or is unable to claim the
credit. This Section 2.2.3(e)(v) shall not be construed to require Lender to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.
(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, if any
requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall
hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder
(i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a
LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted
automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier
period as required by law. Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation,
any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or
maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder; provided that such additional amount is generally charged by
Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan.
(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, in the event
that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or
compliance by Lender with any request or directive having the force of law hereafter issued from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or
55
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by,
or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of
Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which
Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any material
amount; or
(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the actual out-of-pocket cost to Lender of
maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable;
provided that such additional amount is generally charged by Lender to other borrowers with
loans similar to the Loan. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrowers with not less than ninety (90) days
notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and
the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced
amount.
(h) Each Borrower agrees to pay to Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual
out-of-pocket expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by
Borrowers in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without
limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of
funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether
voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately
following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date
immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrowers did not
give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender
to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the
conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest
Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any
portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a
date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period,
including, without limitation, such actual out-of-pocket expenses arising from interest or fees
payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder
(the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to
collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not
indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, fraud, illegal
acts or gross negligence. No Breakage Costs shall be due or payable if, in connection with any
prepayment of the Loan by
56
Borrowers, Borrowers pay interest through the next Payment Date as provided in Section
2.4.1 hereof.
(i) Subject to Section 2.2.3(e) above, Lender shall not be entitled to claim
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes,
increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of
return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender
notified Borrowers in writing of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of
compensation is based and delivered to Borrowers a written statement setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section
2.2.3, which statement, made in good faith, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties
hereto absent manifest error.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and
regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any
increased or additional costs payable by Borrowers under Section 2.2.3 hereof, including,
if requested by Borrowers, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of
Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan,
in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or
additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in
any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not separately agreed to by Borrowers to
be reimbursed by Borrowers and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to
Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by
law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to
the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such
payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall any Borrower be obligated or required to pay
interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil
or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any Borrower is at any time required or obligated to
pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate,
the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum
Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of
the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance,
or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the
Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long
as the Loan is outstanding.
57
2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing
Date, Borrowers shall enter into one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements with a blended LIBOR
strike price equal to the Strike Price. Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii)
shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any
amounts due Borrowers under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt
exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist even if one or more of the Properties, the
IP or the Collateral is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu
thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the current term of the Loan, and (v) when aggregated
with all other Interest Rate Cap Agreements, shall have an initial notional amount equal to the
outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Closing Date. Borrowers shall collaterally
assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its
right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under all Interest Rate Cap Agreements,
and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreements (which
shall, by their respective terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be
deposited directly into the Cash Management Account).
(b) Borrowers shall comply with all of their obligations under the terms and provisions of
each Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under each Interest Rate
Cap Agreement to Borrowers or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management
Account. Borrowers shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s
rights under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and
shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) In the event of any downgrade of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty below “AA-” by
S&P or “Aa3” by Xxxxx’x, Borrowers shall replace the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) with
one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements not later than ten (10) Business Days
following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade.
(d) In the event that Borrowers fail to purchase and deliver to Lender any Interest Rate Cap
Agreement or fail to maintain each Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, after ten (10) Business Days notice to Borrowers and Borrowers’
failure to cure, Lender may purchase the required Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) and the actual
out-of-pocket cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) shall be
paid by Borrowers to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was
incurred by Lender until such actual out-of-pocket cost is reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender.
(e) In connection with each Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to
Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the
Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in
relevant part, that:
(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the
58
organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its
obligations under, such Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the
Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and
delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have
been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any
provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent
organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding
on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and
delivery by the Counterparty of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other
agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and
the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full
force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other
action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory
body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv) such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the
Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and
delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law).
(f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in
all Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall terminate and Lender shall, at Borrowers’ reasonable
expense, promptly execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required and prepared by
the Counterparty and/or Borrowers to evidence release of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Payments Generally. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the
interest accrued on the Loan for the preceding Interest Period (the “Monthly Interest Payment”),
except that Borrowers shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the interest accrued on the
Outstanding Principal Balance for the initial Interest Period on the Closing Date. For purposes of
making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on
which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the
immediately preceding Business Day. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity
Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case
may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
59
payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever, except as
otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof.
Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten
(10) days prior written notice to Borrowers, to change the monthly Payment Date to a different
calendar day and to correspondingly adjust the Interest Period and Lender and Borrowers shall
promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence any such changes.
2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date
the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts due
hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under
the Loan Documents (other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by
Borrowers by the date on which it is due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or (b) the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender
not later than 2:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful
money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office at 00
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, or as otherwise directed by
Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. From and after the date hereof, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may, at their option and upon at least ten
(10) days prior written notice to Lender (or such shorter period as may be permitted by Lender),
prepay the Debt in whole or in part, but in no event shall any partial prepayment be less than
$5,000,000.00; provided that any prepayment is accompanied by (a) if such prepayment
occurs on a date other than a Payment Date, all interest which would have accrued on the amount
of the Loan to be paid through, but not including, the next succeeding ninth (9th) day of a
calendar month, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last
day of the Interest Period immediately prior to the applicable Payment Date; (b) if such
prepayment occurs prior to the Spread Maintenance Release Date, the Spread Maintenance Premium
due with respect to the amount prepaid, if any; and (c) all other sums due and payable under
this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the
Breakage Costs, if any, the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any, and all of Lender’s costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and
60
disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. No Spread
Maintenance Premium or, subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, any other prepayment
premium or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment of the Loan (i) made after the
Spread Maintenance Release Date, or (ii) made from the proceeds of any Minimum Mandatory
Prepayment (or any partial payment on account thereof), Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment,
Additional Non-Qualified Mandatory Prepayment, Release Parcel Release Price, Adjacent Parcel
Release Price and/or IP Release Price; provided, however, that the applicable
Prepayment Fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment of the Loan made from the proceeds
of any Minimum Mandatory Prepayment (or any partial payment on account thereof), Release Parcel
Release Price, Adjacent Parcel Release Price and/or IP Release Price if any such prepayment
shall occur prior to the Prepayment Fee Release Date. If a notice of prepayment is given by
Borrowers to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount designated for prepayment
and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be due and payable on the
proposed prepayment date; provided, however, Borrowers shall have the right to
postpone or revoke such prepayment upon written notice to Lender not less than two (2) Business
Days prior to the date such prepayment is due so long as Borrowers pay Lender and/or Servicer
all actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or Servicer in
connection with such postponement or revocation.

65
commitment for such refinancing is entered into and a closing date for the funding of such
refinancing has been scheduled. The provisions of this Section 2.4.3 shall not be
construed to contravene in any manner either (i) the restrictions and other provisions regarding
refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of any Property set forth in this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any Mortgage Loan Document, whether or not notice is given pursuant to this
Section 2.4.3 or (ii) Borrowers’ right to prepay set forth in this Agreement and the other

(a) Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein contained shall prohibit
Borrowers, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4.1 hereof, and provided that no
Event of Default, Mortgage Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, from satisfying any Debt Yield requirement set forth in Section 2.7.1 or
2.7.2 hereof by partially prepaying the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or the Mezzanine Loans
prior to the commencement of the First Non-Qualified Extension Term, the Second Non-Qualified

applied in accordance with Section 2.4.4(a) hereof.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 2.7.3(a), Mortgage
Borrowers shall also have the right to satisfy any Debt Yield requirement set forth in
87
Section 2.7.1 or 2.7.2 hereof by delivering to Mortgage Lender (for the
benefit of Mortgage Lender, Lender and Mezzanine Lenders) a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to
the principal repayment of the Aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance that would be required in
order to achieve the applicable required Debt Yield (each, a “Debt Yield Letter of Credit”). If
Mortgage Borrowers elect to deliver any Debt Yield Letter of Credit, the following shall apply to
each such Debt Yield Letter of Credit:
(i) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay to Mortgage Lender all of
Mortgage Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred in drawing
down on such Debt Yield Letter of Credit. Mortgage Borrowers shall not be entitled

Lender and Mortgage Lender and provided that no Event of Default, Mortgage Event of
Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Mortgage Borrowers may replace such Debt Yield Letter of Credit with a partial
prepayment of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to such Debt Yield Letter of Credit, which prepayment shall be applied
in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Section
2.4.4(a) hereof, following which prepayment, Mortgage Lender shall promptly
return such Debt Yield Letter of Credit to Mortgage Borrowers.
(ii) Each Debt Yield Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be
additional security for the payment of the Mortgage Debt. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Mortgage Event of Default, Mortgage Lender shall have
the right, at its option, to draw on any Debt Yield Letter of Credit and to apply
all or any part of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.4.3(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Section 2.4.4(a) hereof
applicable to a prepayment following the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Mortgage Event of Default.
(iii) In addition to any other right Mortgage Lender may have to draw upon a
Debt Yield Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement, Mortgage Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full on
any Debt Yield Letter of Credit: (A) with respect to any evergreen Debt Yield
Letter of Credit, if Mortgage Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank
that such Debt Yield Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Debt
Yield Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the
date on which the outstanding Debt Yield Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire;
(B) with respect to any Debt Yield Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date,
if Mortgage Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has
renewed such Debt Yield Letter of Credit at least ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date on which such Debt Yield Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a
substitute Debt Yield Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Debt Yield Letter of Credit is
scheduled to expire; (C) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that such Debt
Yield Letter of Credit will be terminated and a substitute
88
Debt Yield Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days
prior to the date on which the outstanding Debt Yield Letter of Credit is scheduled
to be terminated; or (D) if Mortgage Lender has received notice that the bank
issuing any Debt Yield Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution
and within ten (10) Business Days after Mortgage Lender notifies Mortgage Borrowers
in writing of such circumstance, Mortgage Borrowers shall fail to deliver to
Mortgage Lender a substitute Debt Yield Letter of Credit issued by an Eligible
Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above,
Mortgage Lender is not obligated to draw upon any Debt Yield Letter of Credit upon
the happening of an event specified in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D)
above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Mortgage Borrowers due to
the insolvency of the bank issuing any such Debt Yield Letter of Credit if Mortgage
Lender has not drawn upon such Debt Yield Letter of Credit.

94
4.1.6 Title.
(a) Such Borrower is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to, its
Pledged Interests, free and clear of all Liens, except those Liens granted to Lender under the Loan
Documents. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the
Pledged Collateral when properly filed in the appropriate records, will create a valid, perfected
first priority security interest in and to the portion of the Pledged Collateral covered thereby,
all in accordance with the terms thereof for which a Lien can be perfected by filing a UCC
Financing Statement. For so long as the Lien of the Pledge Agreement is outstanding, such Borrower
shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the Lien of
the Pledge Agreement and shall forever warrant and defend such title, validity and priority to
Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever.
(b) Each Mortgage Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real
property comprising part of its Property and good title to the balance of such Property, free and
clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(c) First Mezzanine Borrowers are the record and beneficial owners of, and have good and
marketable title to, the First Mezzanine Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except
for the Liens contemplated by the First Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(d) Second Mezzanine Borrowers are the record and beneficial owners of, and have good and
marketable title to, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever,
except for the Liens contemplated by the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(e) To the best of each Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the
aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the operation or use of the Properties (as
currently used) or (i) such Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan, (ii) Mortgage Borrowers’ ability
to repay the Mortgage Loan, (iii) First Mezzanine Borrowers’ ability to repay the First Mezzanine
Loan, or (iv) Second Mezzanine Borrowers’ ability to repay the Second Mezzanine Loan.
(f) To such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, there are no claims for payment for
work, labor or materials affecting any of the Properties that are or may become a Lien prior to, or
of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, except any Lien then
being contested pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrowers have (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the
Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud
any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their obligations under
such Loan Documents. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrowers’
assets collectively exceeds and will exceed Borrowers’ total aggregate liabilities, including,
without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and
95
contingent liabilities. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of
Borrowers’ assets collectively is and will be greater than Borrowers’ probable aggregate
liabilities, including the maximum amount of their contingent liabilities on its debts as such
debts become absolute and matured. Taking into account the Loan, each Borrower’s assets do not and
will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as
proposed to be conducted. Borrowers do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur
Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond their
respective abilities to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or
in respect of obligations of each Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against any
Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor, and none of the Loan Parties, HRHI nor any Guarantor has ever
made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the
benefit of debtors. None of the Loan Parties, HRHI nor any Guarantor are contemplating either the
filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the
liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and no Borrower has any actual
knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Loan Party, HRHI
or any Guarantor.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge, no statement
of fact made by any Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact or circumstance presently
known to such Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender and which will have a material
adverse effect on (a) the use and operation of any of the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine
Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral, (b) the enforceability or validity
of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien created under any Loan Document or the
remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, or (c) the ability of such Borrower, any other Loan
Party, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its respective obligations under
each of the Loan Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents, as
applicable.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan (a)
no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will
constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101, (c) no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) none of the assets of any Borrower constitute “plan assets” of a
governmental plan within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 for purposes of any state law
provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.
4.1.10 Compliance. Except as set forth in the applicable Zoning Report, each Loan
Party and, to the best of such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, the Land and
Improvements (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal
Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes and
Prescribed Laws. No Loan Party is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree
or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by any Loan
96
Party or, to any Borrower’s actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved

ARTICLE V.
COVENANTS OF BORROWERS
Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and
performance in full of all obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents or the earlier release

accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrowers hereby jointly
and severally covenant and agree with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply, or
cause each other Loan Party to comply, in all material respects with all Legal Requirements
applicable to such Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the
Collateral, the Properties or the IP, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws. There shall
never be committed by any Borrower, and no Borrower shall, nor shall cause any other Loan Party to,
knowingly permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any of
the Properties to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or

Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral and/or any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in
performance of any Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents or paid in performance of
Mezzanine Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Mezzanine Loan Documents or paid in performance
of Mortgage Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such
right of forfeiture. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, at all times
maintain, preserve and protect in all material respects all franchises and trade names and preserve
all the remainder of its property necessary for the conduct of its business as contemplated
hereunder, and, subject to Mortgage Borrowers’ right to demolish the Improvements on the Adjacent
Property subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.18 of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair in all material respects, and
from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage.
Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to keep the Properties insured at all times by financially
sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and
such other insurance, as is more fully provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties in accordance with the
110
terms and provisions of the O&M Agreements in all material respects. After prior notice to
Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest, or may cause each other Loan Party to
contest, by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to
any Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or
the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) no Event
of Default, Mortgage Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of any instrument to which such Loan Party is subject and shall not constitute a default
thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws

Collateral, the Collateral or any part of any of the foregoing or interest therein will be in

such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal
Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement
against such Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the
Collateral or any Property; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause each other Loan
Party to furnish, such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably
requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest
and penalties payable in connection therewith. Following any non-compliance with such Legal
Requirement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender may apply any such security,
as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable
judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally
established or the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or
any Property (or any part of any of the foregoing or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger
of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers
to pay, all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Properties or any part thereof prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall
begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers’ obligation to
directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Mortgage Borrowers comply with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or Borrowers comply with the terms and
provisions of Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers will deliver, or will cause
Mortgage Borrowers to deliver, to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to
Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrowers
shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to Lender receipts for the payment of
the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall
begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers shall not be
required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid
by Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or by Lender pursuant to
Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers shall not suffer, and shall not permit any

111
cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay, for all utility services provided to any of the
Properties. After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest, or may
cause each other Loan Party to contest, by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or
in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Event of Default, Mortgage
Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default exists; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted
under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which such
Borrower or such other Loan Party is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such
proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c)
neither any Property, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the

determination thereof pay, or shall cause such other Loan Party to pay, the amount of any such
Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in
connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or
Other Charges from the applicable Property, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine
Collateral and the Collateral; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such other Loan

requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all
interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by
Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
entitlement of such claimant is established or the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine
Collateral, the Collateral or any Property (or any part of any of the foregoing or interest
therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall
be any imminent danger of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.3 Litigation. Borrowers shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or
governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against any Loan Party, HRHI or any
Guarantor which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on (a) the business
operations, economic performance, assets, financial condition, equity, contingent liabilities,
material agreements or results of operations of any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any Property,
the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral, (b) the
enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien created
under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, (c) the ability of any
Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its respective obligations
under each of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, as

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

5.1.5 Special Distributions. On each date on which amounts are required to be
disbursed to the Cash Management Account or otherwise to be paid to Borrowers or Lender pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents (including the Mortgage Loan Agreement and/or the Mortgage
Cash Management Agreement), or are required to be paid to Lender under any of the Loan Documents,
Borrowers shall exercise their rights to cause Second Mezzanine Borrowers and, in turn, Second
Mezzanine Borrowers shall exercise their rights to cause First Mezzanine Borrowers and, in turn,
First Mezzanine Borrowers shall exercise their rights to cause Mortgage Borrowers to make to
Borrowers distributions in an aggregate amount such that Lender shall receive the amount required
to be disbursed to Lender from the Cash Management Account or otherwise paid to Lender on such
date.
5.1.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate, and shall
cause each other Loan Party to reasonably cooperate, fully with Lender with respect to any

affects the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan
Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such
proceedings.

Borrowers of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation
affecting any Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds or Awards.
5.1.9 Further Assurances. Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to,
at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement):
(a) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and
other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect
the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrowers under the
Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require, including, without limitation, if permitted by
applicable law, the execution and delivery of all such writings necessary to transfer any Operating
Permits with respect to any Property into the name of Lender or its designee after the occurrence
of an Event of Default; and
113
(b) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances

proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of each
Borrower and all items of income and expense in respect of the Collateral. Borrowers shall cause

System of Accounts and reconciled each year in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis
acceptable to Lender), proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the

and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the

accounting records with respect to the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the
Second Mezzanine Collateral and the Collateral, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be

Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, HRHI and each Guarantor; provided, however, that in
the event that any Guarantor is not otherwise required to, and does not, cause to be prepared such
audited financial statements in the ordinary course of its business, it may deliver the unaudited
statements which are delivered to its investors or otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of its
business, accompanied by the Officer’s Certificate required under Section 5.1.11(b)(B) of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the
financial statements of Borrowers and Mortgage Borrowers may be consolidated with those of (1) HRHI
for so long as (y) HRHI owns no other assets other than the ownership interests in one or more of
the Loan
114
Parties and/or other assets related to one or more of the Loan Parties, one or more of the
Properties and/or the IP, and (z) engages in no other business other than those related to owning
one or more of the Loan Parties and/or other assets related to one or more of the Loan Parties, one
or more of the Properties and/or the IP, and (2) HR Holdings for so long as (x) the provisions of
the foregoing clause (1) remain true, (y) HR Holdings owns no other assets other than the
ownership interests in HRHI and/or one or more of the Loan Parties and/or other assets related to
HRHI, one or more of the Loan Parties, one or more of the Properties and/or the IP, and (z) engages
in no other business other than those related to owning HRHI and/or one or more of the Loan Parties
and/or other assets related to HRHI, one or more of the Loan Parties, one or more of the Properties
and/or the IP. Borrowers will furnish, or will cause each of the other Loan Parties to furnish, to
Lender a copy of the financial statements and all other materials which such Loan Parties are
required to provide to Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine Lender or Second Mezzanine Lender under
Section 5.1.11 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement or the Second
Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively, within the time periods required under such Section.
(c) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall submit to Lender (and
Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to submit to Mortgage Lender) an Annual Budget not later
than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory
to Lender. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s and Mortgage Lender’s written reasonable
approval (each such Annual Budget, as and when approved or deemed approved pursuant to this
Section 5.1.11(c), the “Approved Annual Budget”). Lender’s approval of a proposed Annual
Budget shall be deemed to have been given if (i) such proposed Annual Budget is submitted to Lender
with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or
larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET AND IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN
TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, BORROWERS MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE” and Lender does not respond
by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating in reasonable detail its objections to such
proposed Annual Budget within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt thereof, and (ii) after
Lender’s failure to respond to the initial request for approval of such proposed Annual Budget
within the time period set forth in the foregoing clause (i), Borrowers shall re-submit to
Lender (and Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to re-submit to Mortgage Lender) such proposed
Annual Budget with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in
14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. APPROVAL WILL BE
DEEMED GIVEN IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS” and Lender does not respond
to such second submission of such proposed Annual Budget by approving such proposed Annual Budget
or stating in reasonable detail its objection thereto within three (3) Business Days of Lender’s
receipt of such second submission. In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget
submitted by any Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrowers of such objections within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of
such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to
Lender. Lender shall advise Borrowers of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such
objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise (or cause the applicable Manager to revise) the
same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves each
115
Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to
have approved such Annual Budget), the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply;
provided, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be automatically adjusted (i) to reflect
actual increases in Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to each Property, (ii) by three
percent (3%) on all other items to account for inflation, and (iii) to reflect any expenses that
must be incurred on an “emergency basis” in order to prevent the occurrence of any harm to any
individuals on any Property or any Property itself or the operation thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate amount of costs set forth in a proposed
Annual Budget have been approved by Lender, then until such time as Lender and Mortgage Lender
approve the entirety of such proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have approved the entirety of
such proposed Annual Budget in accordance with this Section 5.1.11(c)), (A) such approved
portions of such proposed Annual Budget shall apply and shall constitute an “Approved Annual
Budget” with respect only to such portions, (B) the remainder of such proposed Annual Budget shall
be automatically adjusted as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and (C) Borrowers and
Lender shall diligently continue the process of agreeing to the remaining costs as set forth in
this Section 5.1.11(c) for the approval of the Annual Budget as a whole.
(d) In the event that any Mortgage Borrower must incur any non-recurring extraordinary
Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget then in effect
(each, an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender (and Borrowers
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly deliver to Mortgage Lender) a reasonably detailed
explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no prior approval by Lender shall be required for any Extraordinary Expense needed to be
incurred immediately to prevent imminent injury to person or damage to property, provided that
within three (3) Business Days thereafter Borrowers shall provide reasonably satisfactory evidence
to Lender to demonstrate the imminent necessity and reasonableness of the Extraordinary Expense
incurred.
(e) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender
expects that any or more Borrowers alone or any one or more Borrowers and one or more Affiliates of
any Borrower collectively, or the Collateral or any one or more of the Properties alone or any one
or more of the Properties and any one or more Related Properties collectively, will be a
Significant Obligor, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to
Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income,
required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the
Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the
principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such
Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a
Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the
aggregate principal amount of all mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as
applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2)
of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related
Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan
together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time
during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed
twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of
116
all mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.
Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within fifteen (15)
Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents
for the Securitization, (B) not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar
quarter of Borrowers, and (C) not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each
calendar year of Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be
obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or
(C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange
Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not
required. If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any Property, but
only to the extent such tenant is required to provide such financial data and/or financial
statements under its Lease, if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be,
with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the
mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that
such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(f) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers pursuant to Section
5.1.11(e) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and shall meet the requirements of
Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements. All financial statements referred to in
Section 5.1.11(e) hereof shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrowers or
Mortgage Borrowers reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other
applicable Legal Requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the
independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all
other applicable Legal Requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed
written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange
Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such
independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of

(h) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the
financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any

other similar proceeding in respect of any Borrower or any of its Constituent Members or an
assignment by any Borrower or any of its Constituent Members for the benefit of its creditors, and
Lender incurs costs in connection with any such proceeding as a direct or indirect result of the
Loan, then, in any of the foregoing instances, each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its

5.1.18 Confirmation of Representations. Borrowers shall deliver, in connection with
any Securitization, (a) one or more Officer’s Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all

commercially reasonable terms and no Lease shall contain any terms which would materially adversely
affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or Mortgage Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan

unreasonably withheld. To the extent Lender’s approval is required pursuant to this Section
5.1.20, Lender shall endeavor to respond to a request for Lender’s approval within ten (10)
Business Days after Borrowers’ written request therefor, delivered together with any documents or
information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder in connection with Lender’s review of
the proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination. If the correspondence
from Borrowers requesting such approval contains the following statement at the top of the first
page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO
EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL
SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender shall fail to respond to or to expressly deny such request
for approval in writing (stating
121
in reasonable detail the reason for such disapproval) within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of Borrowers’ written request therefor together with the documents and information required
above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration
of such ten (10) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same, then Borrowers shall
re-submit such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination and
accompanying information to Lender with a request for approval containing the following statement
at the top of the first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU
FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5)
BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender does not respond to such second
request by approving such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination or
stating its objection thereto within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second
submission, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Borrowers shall not permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to enter into a lease of
all or substantially all of any Property without Lender’s prior consent.
5.1.21 Alterations. Other than the construction of the Project, which shall be
governed by the provisions of Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall, or shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to, obtain Lender’s prior consent to any material alterations to any
Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any
alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on any Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s
financial condition, the value of the Collateral, the applicable Property or the Net Operating
Income, provided that such alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement
work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease, (b) do not materially adversely affect any
structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements
or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements and the aggregate cost
thereof does not exceed the Alteration Threshold Amount, or (c) are performed in connection with
the Restoration of a Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and this Agreement. To the extent Lender’s
prior written approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.21, Lender shall have
fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt of written request and any and all reasonably required
information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such request and
such written request shall state thereon in bold letters of 14 point font or larger that action is
required by Lender. If Lender fails to approve or disapprove the request within such fifteen (15)
Business Days, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. Should Lender fail to approve any such
request, Lender shall give Borrowers written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis
for such disapproval. In no event shall Lender require any “consent fee” as a condition to any
required approval. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the
Improvements at any Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the
Leases) shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold Amount, Borrowers shall promptly deliver
to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrowers’
obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C)
other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have
confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification
of the then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any
Securitization, (D) a Letter
122
of Credit, or (E) a completion and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank;
provided, however, that (i) in the event (A) Mortgage Borrowers are required to and
do deliver such security to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (B) if the
Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, First Mezzanine Borrowers are required to and do deliver such
security to First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or (C) if the Mortgage
Loan and the First Mezzanine Loan have been paid in full, Second Mezzanine Borrowers are required
to and do deliver such security to Second Mezzanine Lender under the Second Mezzanine Loan
Agreement; and (ii) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the
delivery of such security by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender, or by First Mezzanine Borrowers
to First Mezzanine Lender, or by Second Mezzanine Borrowers to Second Mezzanine Lender, as
applicable, then Borrowers shall not be required to deliver any such security to Lender. Such
security (if given as set forth above) shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total
unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Property (other
than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration
Threshold Amount and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such security
from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.
5.1.22 Operation of the Properties.
(a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties, in all material
respects, in accordance with the applicable Management Agreement. In the event that any Management

accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrowers shall cause Mortgage
Borrowers to promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with the applicable Manager or
another Qualified Manager, as applicable.

terminated (without limiting any obligation of Hotel/Casino Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to
any termination or modification of any Liquor Management Agreement, if applicable, in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to
promptly enter into a Replacement Liquor Management Agreement with the Liquor Manager or another
Qualified Liquor Manager, as applicable.
(b) Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in
all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by

Loan Party, to continue to perform all obligations under the Liquor Management Agreement.
Additionally, Borrowers shall, upon and after the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other

132
the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan

transaction under ERISA.
(b) Each Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to
time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion, that (i)

(ii) none of the assets of such Borrower constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of Section
3(3) of ERISA for purposes of any state law provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary

the experience of Borrowers and their direct and indirect members in owning and operating the
Collateral and Mortgage Borrowers in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on
Borrowers’ ownership of the Collateral as a means of maintaining the value of the Collateral as
security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan
Documents. Additionally, Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the
experience of Mortgage Borrowers and their general partners, members, principals and (if any
Mortgage Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties
such as the Properties and in owning intellectual property such as the IP, in agreeing to make the
Loan, and will continue to rely on Mortgage Borrowers’ ownership of the Properties and the IP as a
means of maintaining the value of the Properties and the IP and, therefore, indirectly the value of
the Collateral, as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations
contained in the Loan Documents. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has a valid interest in
maintaining the value of the Collateral so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the
repayment of the Debt or the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender
can recover the Debt by a sale of the Collateral.
(b) Without the prior consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this
Section 5.2.10, Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any Transfer Restricted Party to,
(i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, license, grant options with
respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for
133
consideration or of record) any Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial
interest therein, or any IP or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or the
Collateral or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein; or (ii) permit a Sale
or Pledge of any interest in any Transfer Restricted Party (any of the actions in the foregoing
clauses (i) or (ii), a “Transfer”), other than, notwithstanding anything to the

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION
Section 6.1 Insurance. (a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to obtain and
maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times during the term of the Loan the insurance
required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting
all insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause
Lender to be named as an additional named insured under each of the insurance policies described in
Section 6.1(a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vii), and (xii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and Borrowers
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with
Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the insurance policies required under Section
6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall
cause Mortgage Borrowers to cause all insurance policies required under this Section 6.1 to provide
for at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation or
material changes. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the
Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, certificates of insurance
evidencing the Policies reasonably satisfactory to Lender and accompanied by evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) shall
be delivered by Borrowers to Lender; provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies,
Borrowers may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the original Policies when
issued.
(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full
force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon two (2) Business Days’ written notice to
Borrowers, to take such reasonable action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the
Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in
its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such
action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender
within ten (10) days after demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, proof of all property coverages
required under Section 6.1(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be on an Xxxxx 28 Evidence of
Property Form (2003/10 version) or on such other binding form as is then generally used or is
otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender.
141
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the
insurance referred to above (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages
thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to Section
6.1(a)(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as are provided in favor of Mortgage Lender in the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall
provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of each of the Loan Parties. The Policies
delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described
in Section 6.1(e) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same
rights as Mortgage Lender as referred to in such Section 6.1(e).
(e) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan and the Second
Mezzanine Loan, the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all related
definitions shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or
in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that such Property
resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such
Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (to the extent such
alterations are of a type that would require Lender’s approval under Section 5.1.21 hereof) and
otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A)
Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes
of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage
Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds
available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Borrowers shall not be required to cause Mortgage
Borrowers to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made
available to Mortgage Borrowers. It is expressly understood, however, that Mortgage Borrowers
shall not be obligated to restore such Property to the precise condition of such Property prior
to such Casualty provided such Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at
least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrowers
shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay, all costs of such Restoration whether or
not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof
of loss if not made promptly by any Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower. In addition, Lender may
participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any
final settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of
completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and the
applicable Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender
all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. In the event of a
Casualty in which the Net Proceeds and the costs of completing the Restoration are each less
than the Restoration Threshold, Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim without Lender’s
consent or participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the
actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Property
142
or any part thereof and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to deliver to Lender copies of any
and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such
proceedings with respect to any Condemnation in which Borrowers’ reasonable estimate (based on
any statement of value submitted to the condemning authority or any other reasonable evidence in
Lender’s reasonable judgment) of the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are
equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, and the applicable Borrower shall, or shall
cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments
reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrowers shall, or shall cause
Mortgage Borrowers to, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall,
to the extent required hereunder, consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate
with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by
any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not
limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking),
Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment
in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have
been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to
the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the
Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at
the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is
taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, promptly
commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise
comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A)
Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes
of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage
Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds
available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Mortgage Borrowers shall not be obligated to repair and
restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to Mortgage
Borrowers. If such Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by
Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof
sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4 Restoration.
(a) Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, deliver to Lender copies of all
reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender
under Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration of any Property
after a Casualty or Condemnation. If any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are to be
disbursed by Mortgage Lender for Restoration, Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to
Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that
relates to the restoration and release of the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all insurance proceeds
and condemnation awards will be made available to Mortgage Borrowers in accordance with the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. In the event the Mortgage Loan has been
143
paid in full and Lender receives any insurance proceeds or condemnation award, Lender shall
either apply such proceeds to the Debt or for the Restoration of any Property in accordance with
the same terms and conditions contained in Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
(c) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan and the Second
Mezzanine Loan, if the Loan or any portion thereof is then outstanding, the provisions of Section
6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all related definitions shall be incorporated into this
Agreement in their entirety.
Section 6.5 Rights of Lender. For purposes of this Article VI, Borrowers shall obtain
the approval of Lender for each matter requiring the approval of Mortgage Lender under the
provisions of Sections 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, with each reference in any such
provisions to the “Loan” to include the Mortgage Loan and the Loan, and the reference in any such
provisions to the “Maturity Date” to mean the Maturity Date, as defined herein. If (a) Mortgage
Lender does not require the deposit by Mortgage Borrowers of the “Net Proceeds Deficiency” pursuant
to Section 6.4(c)(vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (b) First Mezzanine Lender does not require
the deposit by First Mezzanine Borrowers of the “Net Proceeds Deficiency” pursuant to Section 6.5
of the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or (c) Second Mezzanine Lender does not require the deposit

reference therein to “Borrowers” and “Lender” referred to Borrowers and Lender, respectively).

interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to

shall be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the
rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(f) Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all actions, suits, third party claims, demands, liabilities, actual losses, actual
damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages), obligations
and reasonable costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds held by Lender or the
performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, excluding matters
arising from Lender’s or its agents’ fraud, willful misconduct, illegal acts or gross negligence.
Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims any Borrower may have against all Persons
supplying labor, materials or other services
148
which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however,
that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and
remains uncured.
Section 7.9 Transfer of Mortgage Reserve Funds. If Mortgage Lender waives any
reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement,
which reserves or escrow accounts are also required in accordance with the terms of this
Article VII, or if the Mortgage Loan is paid off in full (without a prepayment of the Loan
in full), then Borrowers shall cause any amounts that had been, or would have been, deposited into
any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be
deposited or transferred to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article VII (and
Borrowers shall enter into a cash management and lockbox agreement for the benefit of Lender
substantially similar to the arrangement entered into between Mortgage Borrowers and Mortgage
Lender at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan).

thereof; provided, however, that if any such failure is susceptible
of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and
provided, further, that Borrowers shall have caused Mortgage
Borrowers to commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and
shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, such thirty
(30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for
Mortgage Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such
additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days, subject to Excusable Delay;
(xvi) if (A) there shall occur any default by HRHI or Hotel/Casino Borrower

provided, however, that if the Gaming Operating Condition is not
satisfied at any time on or after February 2, 2008 through and including May 9,
2008, so long as (I) Mortgage Borrowers are diligently pursuing the satisfaction of
the Gaming Operating Condition, (II) all Debt Service is being satisfied as and when
due, and (III) no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the failure
of the Gaming Operating Condition to be satisfied during such period shall not
constitute an Event of Default unless the Gaming Operating Condition shall remain
unsatisfied beyond May 9, 2008; or (B) any Gaming License or finding of suitability
held by the Gaming Operator shall be materially adversely modified, denied,
suspended, revoked or canceled or allowed to lapse or if a notice of a material

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

to Section 12.1(e) hereof;
(xxii) in the event that Gaming Borrower, any other Mortgage Borrower or any
Affiliate thereof shall ever become the Liquor Manager, if Gaming Borrower, such
other Mortgage Borrower or such Affiliate thereof thereafter shall fail to provide
liquor management services following an Event of Default or following the transfer
of the Hotel/Casino Property to a Mortgage Lender Successor Owner as and to the
extent required pursuant to Section 5.1.23(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and
Section 5.1.23(c) hereof;
(xxiii) if any Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in each
instance, not specified in subsections (i) to (xxii) above, for ten
(10) Business Days after notice to Borrowers from Lender, in the case of any Default
which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after
notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided,
however, that if any such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided further
that Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, such
thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary
for Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional
period not to exceed ninety (90) days, subject to Excusable Delay;
(xxiv) the occurrence of any event that is expressly specified to be an Event
of Default in this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(xxv) if the Liens created pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall cease to be a fully perfected enforceable first priority security
interest effective under the Gaming Laws or if there shall be a default
153
under the Pledge Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods
contained in the Pledge Agreement;
(xxvi) if any other event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect
of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt
or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt;
(xxvii) if a Mortgage Event of Default shall occur and be continuing;
(xxviii) if a First Mezzanine Event of Default shall occur and be continuing;
or
(xxix) if a Second Mezzanine Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) and at any time thereafter, in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents or at law or in equity, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender may take
such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its
rights against Borrowers and in and to any Property and/or the IP and/or the Collateral, including,
without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or
avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrowers, any
Property and/or the IP and/or the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies
available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or
(vii) above, the Debt and all Other Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately and automatically
become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives any
such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to
applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies
available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers or at law or in equity may be exercised by
Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared
due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, in each case
to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative
and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise,
at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of
Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, that if an
154
Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or
“election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its
remedies against the Collateral and the Pledge Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise
realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to each Borrower and the
Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring
Lender to resort to the Collateral or any particular portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction
of any of the obligations in preference or priority to any other collateral, and Lender may seek
satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of
the Obligations. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the
right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement in
any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined
by Lender in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i)
in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments of interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement
to recover such delinquent payments, and/or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than
the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge
Agreement to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance as Lender may accelerate and such
other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral and any other collateral shall
remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement
and not previously recovered.
(c) Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s sole cost and
expense except during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which event the same shall be at
Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents
into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan
Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of
evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder, provided that Borrowers’
liability or obligation shall not be increased by such severance. Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement
and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance
described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender
as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and
execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, each Borrower
ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however,
Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5) Business Days
after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under
such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization and expressly provided
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed
Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations,
warranties or covenants not contained in the
155
Loan Documents (modified to reflect the current status of such representations and warranties)
and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given
by Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.
(d) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrowers pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s
rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy,
right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to any Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent Default or Event of Default by any Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power
consequent thereon.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts recovered from the Collateral or
any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the
payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan
Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may declare
all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Note, together with all other sums payable
under the Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be
immediately due and payable, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and
without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly
hereby waived by Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 8.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or
demand on Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereunder, make any payment
or do any act required of Borrowers hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem
necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement,
Lender is authorized to enter upon any Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring
any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties for such purposes, and the cost
and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with
interest as provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due
and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying
such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any
action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from
Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and
expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be
deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and
enforced as a lien against the Collateral and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by
Lender therefor.
156
ARTICLE IX.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. (a) Borrowers acknowledge and agree
that, at any time from and after the Closing Date, Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan
and the Loan Documents, or require Borrowers to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may
include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or issue one or more participations
therein and/or syndicate the Loan, which restructuring may include the restructuring of a portion
of the Loan to one or more of the foregoing or into one or more additional mezzanine loans to the
direct and/or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrowers as reasonably, mutually
determined by Lender and Borrowers and that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of HR Holdings,
secured by a pledge of such interests, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations
of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership
interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include
the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a
“Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided
by Borrowers under this Agreement, Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts
to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by
Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be
reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such
Securitization, including, without limitation, to:
(i) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information or other information with
respect to the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine
Collateral and/or the Collateral reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender,
prospective investors or the Rating Agencies, together with, if customary or if otherwise
requested by any Rating Agency, appropriate verification and/or consents related to the
Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent
attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(ii) review descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating
Agencies, and work with third-party service providers engaged to obtain, collect, and
deliver information reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective
investors or the Rating Agencies;
(iii) if required by any Rating Agency, (A) deliver updated opinions of counsel as to
non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, the
IP, the Collateral, any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any of their respective
Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (B) amend the Special Purpose Entity provisions of
the organizational documents for each Loan Party, which counsel opinions and amendments to
the organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies;
(iv) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements and/or other
157
agreements from parties to agreements that affect any of the Properties, the IP or
the Collateral, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements and other agreements
shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(v) provide, as of the closing date of the Securitization, updated representations
and warranties made in the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the
Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and
warranties made in the Loan Documents to the extent they are true as of the closing of the
Securitization;
(vi) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by
Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect such Securitization and/or deliver one or more new
component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect
multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same
initial weighted average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note
may change the interest rate of the Loan), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with
respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the
Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such
class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve
the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided, however, that (A) such
new notes or modified note will not change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the
amortization of principal set forth in the Note unless the varying interest rates shall
have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note, (B) such amendments to
the Loan Documents or the new notes or modified note will not modify or amend any other
economic or material term of the Loan in a manner materially adverse to any Loan Party,
HRHI or Guarantors or any of their respective Constituent Members, or (C) such amendments
to the Loan Documents will not materially increase any Loan Party’s or Guarantors’
obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease the rights of
Borrowers under the Loan Documents;
(vii) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding any Property, the IP,
the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, any Loan
Party, any Mezzanine Borrower, HRHI, the Gaming Operator, any Manager, the Liquor Manager
and/or the Loan which is contained in any preliminary or final private placement
memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to
either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate
thereof; and
(viii) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports
concerning any Loan Party, any Mezzanine Borrower, HRHI, any Guarantor, the Loan, any
Property, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral and/or
the Collateral in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable
securities laws.
(b) Lender shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses (excluding fees and
expenses of Borrower’s legal counsel) in excess of Twenty Thousand
158
Dollars ($20,000) incurred by Borrowers in connection with Borrowers’ complying with requests
made under this Section 9.1 and/or under Section 9.2 hereof, provided,
however, the fees and expenses of Borrowers’ legal counsel and Borrowers’ administrative
costs shall not be included in such amount and Borrowers shall remain at all times responsible for
the fees and expenses of their legal counsel and their own administrative costs. In addition to
the foregoing, Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay
any Rating Agency surveillance charges.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a
Securitization that involves a participation or restructuring into one or more additional mezzanine
loans, Borrowers shall not be required to deliver Rating Agency confirmations in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time that rated Securities are not outstanding.
(d) In the event that Lender shall sell all or any portion of the Loan or any participation
therein as permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(a) above, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that
such sale or participation may include some of or the entire obligation to fund the Construction
Holdback (the “Future Funding Obligation”). In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrowers hereby
agree that Lender and/or any such assignee or participant may assign, transfer or sell all or any
portion of its Future Funding Obligation and shall thereafter be relieved of such Future Funding
Obligation, provided that such assignee at the time of assignment assumes such Future
Funding Obligation in writing in a manner directly enforceable by, and reasonably acceptable to,
Borrowers and a copy of such assumption is delivered to Borrowers. At such time as Lender has so
transferred the entire Future Funding Obligation pursuant to this Section 9.1(d), the named
Lender hereunder shall have no Future Funding Obligation hereunder.
Section 9.2 Re-Dating. In connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a
portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including, but not
limited to, payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan
Documents, by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a “Re-Dating”) so long as
such modification shall not have a materially adverse effect on Borrowers. Borrowers shall
cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If any Borrower fails to cooperate with Lender
within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as each
Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating,
the foregoing power of attorney being coupled with an interest.
Section 9.3 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Each Borrower understands that
information provided to Lender by Borrowers and their agents, counsel and representatives may be
included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities,
the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to a Securitization. In the event that the
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrowers will
cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material
respects.
159
(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, Borrowers shall provide in connection with each of (i) a
preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or
prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrowers have examined such
Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that to each Borrower’s actual knowledge, each such
Disclosure Document, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors,
HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the
Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan, does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact in each Borrower’s actual
knowledge necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not materially misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender,
Credit Suisse (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that has
filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or
depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender or Credit Suisse that acts
as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization,
any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the
Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, actual
damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or liabilities
(collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar
as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in any such Disclosure Document specified by Lender for Borrowers’
review, as it relates to any Loan Party, any Loan Party’s Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the
Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Second Mezzanine Collateral, the
Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan, known by any
Borrower to be untrue or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact in any Borrower’s actual knowledge, required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable
legal or other reasonable expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers
will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent
that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in
connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with
respect to any of the Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which any Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses
(B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification
agreement is provided.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall (i)
indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Persons may become
subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon
160
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in any Disclosure
Documents specified by Lender for Borrowers’ review, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan
Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the
Second Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator
and/or the Loan, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Disclosure Document a
material fact in any Loan Party’s actual knowledge, required to be stated in such Disclosure
Document in order to make the statements in such Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any
reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers
will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent
that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in
connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with
respect to any of the Properties.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 9.3 of notice
of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against Borrowers under this Section 9.3, notify Borrowers in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrowers will not relieve any Borrower from
any liability which any Borrower may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent
that such failure to notify causes material prejudice to any Borrower. In the event that any
action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies Borrowers of the commencement
thereof, Borrowers will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that they may elect
by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid
notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. After notice from Borrowers to such Indemnified Person
under this Section 9.3, such Indemnified Person shall pay for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such
action include both the Indemnified Person and any Borrower and the Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified
Persons that are different from or additional to those available to Borrowers, the Indemnified
Person(s) shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person(s) at the
cost of Borrowers. Borrowers shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate
counsel unless any Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another
Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior consent of Credit Suisse or Lender, as applicable (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), no Borrower shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or
potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding)
161
unless Borrowers shall have given Credit Suisse or Lender, as applicable, reasonable prior
notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person
hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as
Borrowers have complied with their obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrowers shall
not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrowers
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(f) Borrowers agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this
Section 9.3 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is
insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are
the subject of this Section 9.3), then Borrowers, on the one hand, and such Indemnified
Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or
reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits to Borrowers, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the
other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) but also the relative faults of Borrowers, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on
the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be
considered: (A) Lender’s and Borrowers’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the
matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; and (B) the opportunity to correct and prevent
any statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.3, no Person
found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other Person who is not also found
liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(g) Borrowers agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set
forth in this Section 9.3 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal
party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrowers further agree that the Indemnified
Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.3.
(h) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4(a) hereof, the liabilities and
obligations of Borrowers and Lender under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.4 Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not
enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the obligations contained
in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or
proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Borrower, except that Lender may
bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or
proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral given to Lender
pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically
provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against any
Borrower only to the extent of such Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, and Lender,
162
by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against any Borrower in
any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section
9.4(a) shall not, however, (A) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (B) impair the right of Lender to name any
Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Pledge
Agreement; (C) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the
Loan, including, without limitation, the Non-Recourse Guaranty, the Non-Qualified Prepayment
Guaranty, the Closing Completion Guaranty, the Construction Completion Guaranty and the HRHI
Guaranty, or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (D) impair the right of Lender to
obtain the appointment of a receiver; (E) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a
deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the
Pledge Agreement or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to
exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (F) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to
enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent
of any actual loss, damage (excluding any lost revenue, diminution of value and other consequential
damages), reasonable cost, reasonable expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by
Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection
with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Loan Party, HRHI, any
Guarantor or any of their respective principals, officers, agents or employees in
connection with the Loan;
(ii) physical waste to any Property arising from the intentional misconduct or
gross negligence of any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor or any of their respective
principals, officers, agents or employees and/or any removal of any asset forming a
part of any Property in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(iii) Intentionally Omitted;
(iv) the misappropriation or conversion by any Loan Party, by any Person

Person with whom any Loan Party shall collude or cooperate, of (A) any Insurance
Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, to the extent so misappropriated or
converted; (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, to the extent
so misappropriated or converted; (C) any Rents or other Gross Income from Operations
not delivered to Lender following and during the continuance of an Event of Default
and not otherwise used to pay actual, customary Operating Expenses reflected on the
Approved Annual Budget then in effect, including, without limitation, (I) any
income, proceeds or other amounts received by any Loan Party under the Gaming
Sublease, and/or (II) without duplication of the foregoing clause (I), any
income, proceeds or revenue
163
generated from gaming activities at any Property, in each of the foregoing
instances, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; (D) any Rents paid more
than one (1) month in advance in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, to the extent so misappropriated or converted; and/or (E) any security
deposits, to the extent so misappropriated or converted;
(v) the failure of any Loan Party to pay (or to deposit into the Mortgage
Reserve Funds or the Reserve Funds, if applicable, amounts sufficient to pay) all
Taxes and all other costs giving rise to any Lien on any portion of the Collateral
or any Property or the IP with priority over or equal to the Lien of the Loan
Documents in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent
that there is sufficient Gross Income from Operations to make such payments (or
deposits, as applicable);
(vi) if any Loan Party fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity
as required pursuant to the terms hereof;
(vii) if any Loan Party fails to obtain Lender’s consent to any subordinate
financing, mortgage or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Collateral, any Property
or the IP other than Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted IP Encumbrances;
(viii) the failure to maintain insurance coverage under blanket insurance
policies to the extent permitted under this Agreement;
(ix) if any of the events set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c)
of Section 5.2.11 hereof shall occur without the prior approval of Lender;
(x) if any of the restrictions to Transfer set forth in Section 5.2.10
hereof or in any of the other Loan Documents are violated;
(xi) if Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall succeed to the interest of HRHI
under the Gaming Sublease following a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
similar transfer, any actual loss, cost, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by Lender or such
Affiliate as a result of: (A) any act, omission, neglect or default of HRHI under
the Gaming Sublease, (B) any claim, defense, counterclaim or offset which the Gaming
Operator may have under the Gaming Sublease against HRHI, (C) any obligation to make
any payment to the Gaming Operator under the Gaming Sublease which was required to
be made by or on behalf of HRHI prior to the time Lender or such Affiliate succeeded

beyond applicable notice and cure periods;
164
(xii) if HRHI or any Affiliate thereof shall send a notice to Gaming Operator
under Section 6(a), (c) or (d) of the Gaming Recognition Agreement which conflicts
with any notice theretofore sent by Lender to Gaming Operator under said Section
6(a), (c) or (d), as applicable, of the Gaming Recognition Agreement;
provided, however, that the liability under this clause
(xii) shall be limited to all fees and costs incurred by Gaming Operator in
bringing and pursuing any interpleader action contemplated by said Section 6(a), (c)
or (d), as applicable, and only to the extent that Gaming Operator seeks to recover
and/or does recover such fees and expenses from Lender;
(xiii) if HRHI shall fail to provide Gaming Employees for the operation of
gaming activities at the Hotel/Casino Property as and to the extent required

of Default or a foreclosure of the Mortgage as and to the extent required pursuant
to Section 12.1(e) hereof;

present or future Constituent Member in any Borrower, nor any present or future shareholder,
officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, member, partner, principal, participant
or agent of or in any Borrower or of or in any Person that is or becomes a Constituent Member in
any Borrower, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any amendment or amendments to any of the
foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Lender on behalf of itself and
its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. In addition,
Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that neither Borrowers,
nor any Constituent Member, nor any other party, is assuming any personal liability, directly or
indirectly, under or in connection with any agreement, lease, instrument, claim or right
constituting a part of any Property, the IP or the Collateral or to which any Property, the IP or

For purposes of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, neither the negative
capital account of any Constituent Member in any Borrower nor any obligation of any Constituent
Member in any Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to
any Borrower or to any other Constituent Member in any Borrower shall at any time be deemed to be
the property or an asset of such Borrower (or any such other Constituent Member) and neither Lender
nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against
any Constituent Member with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore,
contribute or loan.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers agree that they will
not have any claims or causes of action against any disclosed or undisclosed officer, director,
employee, trustee, shareholder, partner, or principal of any Indemnified Person arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Managers and Liquor Manager.
9.5.1 If (a) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (b) without the consent of Lender,
Morgans Parent ceases to Control any Manager, unless following such change of Control, each
affected Manager still constitutes a Qualified Manager, (c) any Manager shall become bankrupt or
insolvent, or (d) any Manager commits fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or
misappropriation of funds with respect to any Mortgage Borrower and/or any Property and/or the IP
or any material default otherwise occurs under any Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace
and cure periods, Borrowers shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, at the request of
Lender, terminate the applicable Management Agreement and replace the Manager thereunder with a
Qualified Manager pursuant to a
167
Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for
such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. If (i) an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, (ii) Sub-Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or (iii) Sub-Manager
commits fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or misappropriation of funds with respect to
any Mortgage Borrower and/or any Property or any material default otherwise occurs under the

and amend an existing Management Agreement to include the duties previously delegated under the
Sub-Management Agreement (if not already included therein).

to, at the request of Lender, terminate the Liquor Management Agreement and replace the Liquor
Manager thereunder with a Qualified Liquor Manager pursuant to a Replacement Liquor Management
Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Liquor Manager
shall not exceed then prevailing market rates; provided, however, that in no event
shall Hotel/Casino Borrower be required to terminate such Liquor Manager if such immediate
termination would require cessation of liquor-related activities at any of the Properties and, in
such event, (i) such termination shall occur immediately upon the ability of Hotel/Casino Borrower
to transfer such liquor operations to a Qualified Liquor Manager as required herein, and (ii)
Borrowers shall cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at its sole cost and expense, diligently pursue the
engagement and licensing of a replacement Qualified Liquor Manager.
Section 9.6 Matters Concerning Gaming Operator. If (a) the Gaming Operator commits
fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property or any
material default otherwise occurs under the Gaming Sublease beyond any applicable grace and cure
periods, or (b) the Gaming Operator (i) has its gaming license suspended or revoked, (ii) allows
its gaming license to lapse, or (iii) may not lawfully operate gaming at the Hotel/Casino Property
pursuant to any Legal Requirements or the order of any Governmental Authority, Borrowers shall
cause Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at the request of Lender and to the extent permitted by applicable
Legal Requirements and the requirements of any Gaming Authorities, cause HRHI to terminate the
Gaming Sublease and replace the Gaming Operator with a Qualified Gaming Operator pursuant to a new
gaming sublease or similar agreement and a new recognition agreement, in each instance reasonably
acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall Hotel/Casino Borrower be required
to terminate such Gaming Operator if such immediate termination would require cessation of
gaming-related activities at the Hotel/Casino Property and, in such event, (A) such termination
shall occur immediately upon the ability of Hotel/Casino Borrower to transfer such gaming
operations to a Qualified Gaming Operator as required herein, and (B) Borrowers shall cause
Hotel/Casino Borrower to, at its sole
168
cost and expense, diligently pursue the engagement and licensing of a replacement Qualified
Gaming Operator.
Section 9.7 Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a
servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of
its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to
a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrowers shall not
be responsible for any set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the
Servicing Agreement nor shall Borrowers be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due
to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
(b) Lender shall endeavor in good faith (without liability for failure to do so) to provide
Borrowers with notification of any change in the Person servicing the Loan; provided that
it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by Lender that it shall not constitute a Default or Event
of Default hereunder if due to such failure to provide notification Borrowers send any payments
required to be made hereunder to Lender or any predecessor Person servicing the Loan.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall
continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid
unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in
this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include
the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and
agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of any Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the
legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 10.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender
exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be
satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise
specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and
conclusive. Whenever this Agreement expressly provides that Lender may not unreasonably withhold
its consent or its approval of an arrangement or term, such provisions shall also be deemed to
prohibit Lender from unreasonably delaying or conditioning such consent or approval. Prior to a
Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to
approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the
decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria,
shall be substituted therefor.

other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be

other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other
Loan Document, or under any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or
constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular,
and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under

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

provided, that within three (3) Business Days thereafter, a hard copy of such Notice shall
have been delivered pursuant to the provisions of clause (a), (b)or (c) of this
Section 10.6. Any failure to deliver a Notice by reason of a change of address not given
in accordance with this Section 10.6, or any refusal to accept a Notice, shall be deemed to
have been given when delivery was attempted. Any Notice required or permitted to be given by any
party hereunder or
173
under any other Loan Document may be given by its respective counsel. Additionally, any Notice
required or permitted to be given by Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document may also be
given by the Servicer. Any Notice sent to one Borrower shall constitute and shall be deemed to
constitute such Notice to all Borrowers.
Section 10.7 Trial by Jury. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH
BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT
BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR
HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION
ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY BY EACH BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE
AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS
WAIVER BY THE OTHER.
Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents
in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to
apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Obligations of
Borrowers hereunder. To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to Lender, which payment
or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of
such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds
had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not
be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for
which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving
of notice by Lender to Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not,
pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
174
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrowers. In the event that a claim or adjudication is
made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Borrower agrees that neither Lender
nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ sole remedies shall be
limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties
hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall
be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and
agree to pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse, Lender, within ten (10) days of receipt of
notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrowers’ ongoing performance of and
compliance with Borrowers’ respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents on their part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date,
including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental, gaming and insurance
requirements; (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any other documents or matters requested by or benefiting any Borrower; (iii) securing
Borrowers’ compliance with their obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and
other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) all fees payable hereunder; (vi) dealing with any
Letter of Credit delivered to Lender hereunder; (vii) subject to the terms hereof, enforcing or
preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any
action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Borrower,
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Property, the IP, the Collateral or any other
security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due
from any Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with respect to any Property,
the IP or the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be liable for
the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross
negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Notwithstanding the provisions
set forth in this Section 10.13(a) or in any other provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, in the event that (A) Lender employs counsel to collect the Debt, protect or
foreclose the Pledge Agreement or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and (B) Lender has sold or transferred any interests in the Note, then Borrowers shall
only be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and expenses of the counsel of one Lender.
(b) Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from
and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, out-of-pocket losses, actual damages (but
not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages), penalties, actions,
judgments, third party suits, third party claims, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the
175
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be
designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any
manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by any Borrower of its obligations under, or
any material misrepresentation by any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not have any
obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross
negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion
that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of
all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrowers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay for or, if Borrowers fail to
pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection
with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency and required
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in connection
with any request or approval sought by Borrowers, and Lender shall be entitled to require payment
of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval,
waiver or confirmation; provided, however, that Lender expressly acknowledges and
agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance charges.
Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed
hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set
forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest
in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear
of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrowers may
otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by any Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any
such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated
offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to
create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between any
Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of secured
party, pledgee or lender.
176
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to
the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder and/or to disbursements from the Reserve Funds
are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled
to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan and/or will refuse to make any disbursement from
any Reserve Fund in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person
shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which
may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.
(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.16(a) hereof, Borrowers expressly
acknowledge and agree that: (i) DLJ Merchant Banking, Inc. is an affiliate of Lender and various of
its indirect subsidiaries and/or affiliates own indirect ownership interests in each Borrower (the
“DLJ Entities”), and (ii) neither the Lender named herein nor any successor or assign thereof shall
have any liability to Borrower as a result of such relationship between Lender and the DLJ
Entities, including, without limitation, under any theory of lender liability.
(d) The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this
Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any Trade Contractors including any Major
Contractors or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor furnished in connection
with the construction or rehabilitation of the Project or for debts or claims accruing to any such
Persons against Mortgage Borrowers or Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan
Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the
Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of
action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any
Major Contractor or other Trade Contractor, or any of their respective creditors, or any other
Person.
(e) Observation, inspection and approvals, if applicable, by Lender of the Plans and
Specifications, the construction of the Project and/or the workmanship and materials used therein
shall impose no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on Lender and no Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower, Trade Contractor or other interested Person, under any circumstances, shall be
entitled to rely upon such inspections and approvals by Lender for any reason. Approvals granted
by Lender for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only
the parties and facts identified in any such approval.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower
or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan
Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender, Credit Suisse or any of
their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by applicable state or
federal securities laws, rules or regulations or other applicable Legal
177
Requirements, or as customarily and reasonably requested by any Gaming Authorities, shall not
be subject to Lender’s prior written approval.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling
of the assets of any Borrower, any Borrower’s partners and others with interests in any Borrower,
and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of
the Pledge Agreement, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the
marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect
the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the
Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment
of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in
any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any
Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations
hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which any
Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the
Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Each Borrower acknowledges that, with respect
to the Loan, such Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the
Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender
or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan
Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership
by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may
acquire in any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense
or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such
rights or remedies. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate
financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or
competitive with the businesses of Borrowers or their Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
(a) Each Borrower hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with
any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all third-
178
party claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including
Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any
way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any
Borrower or an Affiliate of any Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
The provisions of this Section 10.21(a) shall survive the expiration and termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
(b) Lender hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with any
financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Borrowers harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket
costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including Borrowers’ reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by
any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Lender or an Affiliate of Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21(b) shall
survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, including, without limitation, (i) the Commitment Letter dated May 11, 2006 between
Morgans Hotel Group Co., MHG HR Acquisition Corp and Lender, and (ii) the Commitment Letter dated
December 22, 2006 between Morgans Hotel Group Co., MHG HR Acquisition Corp, DLJ Merchant Banking,
Inc. and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. The representations, covenants,
warranties and obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) subject to applicable Gaming Laws, the right to routinely consult with and advise each
Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial
developments of each Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not
include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.
Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with
Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable
advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and
records of each Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,

179

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

(c) Borrowers shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of the Loan Parties or any other
Person to, impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to
cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan or any Mezzanine Loan, as applicable,
or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral (including
the Properties) following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan or any Mezzanine
Loan, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
(d) Borrowers hereby indemnify Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands,
costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
182
attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs),
and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 11.3(a). Lender
shall have no obligation to any Loan Party or any other party to make any such payment or
performance.
(e) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents
or any Mezzanine Loan Documents, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material
inducement to Lender in making the Loan, Borrowers hereby absolutely and unconditionally release
and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies
provided in this Section 11.3 other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts,
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(f) In the event that Lender cures any Mortgage Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of
Default, any such cure by Lender shall not waive or be deemed to have cured such Mortgage Event of
Default or such Mezzanine Event of Default and shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under
this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.
(g) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan and/or any
Mezzanine Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to (i) all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the
Mortgage Loan Documents against the Properties and Mortgage Borrowers, and/or (ii) all of the
rights of the applicable Mezzanine Lender under the applicable Mezzanine Loan Documents against the
applicable Mezzanine Collateral and applicable Mezzanine Borrowers, in each case in addition to all
other rights which Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), and any such payments made by
Lender together with interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender
to Borrowers for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, (A) shall constitute a portion of
the Debt, (B) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and (C) shall be due and payable to Lender
upon demand therefor.
Section 11.4 Discussions with Mortgage Lender and Mezzanine Lenders. In connection
with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any
time to discuss the Properties, the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans, the Loan or any other
matter directly with Mortgage Lender and/or any Mezzanine Lender or its respective consultants,
agents or representatives without notice to or permission from any Borrower or any other Loan
Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof
with any Borrower or any other Loan Party.
Section 11.5 Independent Approval Rights.
(a) If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage
Lender or any Mezzanine Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on
Lender; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may
be contained in this Agreement, and as between Lender and Borrowers only, Lender shall be deemed to
have approved or waived any document delivered or action taken, or
183
required to be delivered or taken, by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage
Loan Agreement related to the construction of the Project which is approved or waived in writing by
Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(b) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the
Mortgage Loan, and the risks of each Mezzanine Lender in making its Mezzanine Loan, are different
from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold
or condition any requested consent or approval, Mortgage Lender, each Mezzanine Lender and Lender
may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to
grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of
view. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any
liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly
or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan and/or any Mezzanine Loan, and Borrowers hereby
waive any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.
Section 11.6 Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Intercreditor Agreement entered into
by and among Lender, Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine Lender and Second Mezzanine Lender will be
solely for the benefit of Lender, Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine Lender and Second Mezzanine
Lender; (ii) none of Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, First Mezzanine Borrowers or Second Mezzanine
Borrowers shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein; and (iii)
none Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, First Mezzanine Borrowers or Second Mezzanine Borrowers shall
have any rights thereunder or shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein.
None of Lender, Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine Lender or Second Mezzanine Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose to Borrowers the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrowers’
obligations hereunder are and will be independent of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain
unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(b) In the event that Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, is
required to pay over to Mortgage Lender or any Mezzanine Lender any payment or distribution of
assets, whether in cash, property or securities which otherwise would have been applied to the
Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of any property previously received by Lender on
account of the Loan or any payments under the Guaranties, pursuant to voluntary payment or judgment
or otherwise, then Borrowers agree to indemnify Lender for any amounts so paid, and any amount so
paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding
the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.

ARTICLE XIII.
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
Section 13.1 Right of First Offer. Prior to seeking any Refinancing Loan and/or any

“Right of First Offer Notice”) of its intention to obtain any such Refinancing Loan, which Right of
First Offer Notice shall (a) contain the Material Economic Terms which Borrowers would, in good
faith, expect to receive in the market for loans similar in type to the Refinancing Loan being
sought, and (b) offer (in each case, a “Right of First Offer”) to Credit Suisse the opportunity to
consider whether or not Credit Suisse (or an Affiliate thereof) will provide the Refinancing Loan
on Material Economic Terms substantially similar to the Material Economic Terms contained in the
Right of First Offer Notice. For the purposes of this Article XIII,
187
“Material Economic Terms” shall mean, collectively, the term of the facility, the approximate
amount of the facility, the type of facility (i.e., fixed rate v. floating rate; interest only v.
amortization), interest rate, points and other fees, guarantors and types of guaranty agreements,
use of deposits/reserves, required equity, and net worth and liquidity requirements. For purposes
only of (i) this Article XIII, and (ii) the definition of Applicable Exit Fee Percentage
set forth in Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the term “Credit Suisse” shall also
include any Affiliate of Credit Suisse.
Section 13.2 Right of First Offer Procedure. The Right of First Offer shall be
subject to the procedure set forth below.
(a) As and when Borrowers determine that they will seek to obtain a Refinancing Loan,
Borrowers shall promptly send to Credit Suisse the Right of First Offer Notice.
(b) Upon receipt of the Right of First Offer Notice, Credit Suisse shall have the right to
request all information and materials relating to Borrowers, their direct and indirect principals,
the Collateral and the Properties that Credit Suisse shall reasonably require in order to evaluate
whether or not it will seek to obtain the requisite internal approvals (the “Internal Approvals”)
to extend a Refinancing Loan (collectively, the “Right of First Offer Information and Materials”)
and Borrowers hereby agree to cooperate with Credit Suisse in all reasonable respects in connection
with providing the Right of First Offer Information and Materials. Such request for the Right of
First Offer Information and Materials shall be made within five (5) Business Days of Credit
Suisse’s receipt of the Right of First Offer Notice.
(c) If Credit Suisse is not willing to consider the Refinancing Loan, Credit Suisse shall,
prior to the expiration of the period ending thirty (30) days after Credit Suisse’s receipt of the
Right of First Offer Information and Materials, deliver to Borrowers a written notice to such
effect (“Lender’s Rejection Notice”). Upon receipt of Lender’s Rejection Notice, Borrowers shall
then have the right to solicit Third Party Lenders to provide a Refinancing Loan.
(d) If Credit Suisse is willing to consider the Refinancing Loan, Credit Suisse shall, prior
to the expiration of the period ending thirty (30) days after Credit Suisse’s receipt of the Right
of First Offer Information and Materials, deliver to Borrowers a term sheet containing Material
Economic Terms substantially similar to the Material Economic Terms contained in the Right of First
Offer Notice upon which Credit Suisse is prepared to seek the Internal Approvals to extend the
Refinancing Loan (the “ROFO Term Sheet”), it being understood that such ROFO Term Sheet shall not
be binding upon Credit Suisse and shall in no event be deemed a commitment by Credit Suisse to
lend. If Credit Suisse does not deliver a ROFO Term Sheet within such thirty (30) day period,
Credit Suisse shall be deemed to be unwilling to provide the Refinancing Loan on the Material
Economic Terms contained in the Right of First Offer Notice and the terms and conditions of
clause (c) above shall be applicable.
(e) Credit Suisse shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for (i) failure to deliver any
notice or documents specified herein or (ii) its failure to continue to consider whether or not it
will commit to extend the Refinancing Loan.
188
Section 13.3 Application to Credit Suisse. Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree
that Borrowers shall afford the rights under this Article XIII to Credit Suisse whether or
not Credit Suisse or any Affiliate thereof is then “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

or information with regard to Guarantor required by Section 5.1.11 of the Loan Agreement,
Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a certificate of each Guarantor setting
forth in reasonable detail such Guarantor’s Net Worth as of the end of the prior calendar year or

and accompanying financial statements are true, correct, accurate and complete in all material
respects.
2. Additional Definitions. As used in this Schedule V, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
“Distributable Cash” means, with respect to any Person, and subject to the following
proviso, the amount of all capital surplus, retained earnings or net profits of such Person
held in the form of cash or cash equivalents (including cash reserves established from
undistributed net profits from any prior fiscal period), then freely and lawfully
distributable to the holders of all equity interests of such Person as dividends or
distributions or in redemption of such equity interests in accordance with all laws and
operative agreements, documents or instruments governing the formation and capitalization of
such Person, the receipt of which by the holders of such equity interests, if so paid, will
not give rise to any liability of the recipient to return or to repay such amounts to such
Person, and the payment or distribution of which by such Person to such equity holders (i)
will not violate any term or condition of any agreement or instrument to which such Person
is subject or by which its properties or assets is bound, and (ii) has been consented to or
approved by all other Persons not controlled by any Guarantor whose consent to or approval
of such payment or distribution is required under any of such operative, governing or other
agreements, documents or instruments; provided that Lender is given, from time to
time, such information as it may reasonably request confirming the foregoing, subject to the
requirements of any existing Guaranty insofar as
relates to the Morgans Guarantor, so long as Morgans Guarantor remains a guarantor of any of
the Obligations.
“Effective Liquidity” means, (A) with respect to any Person, as of a given date, the
sum of (i) all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by such Person and, in the case
of Morgans Guarantor, so long as Morgans Guarantor remains a guarantor of any of the
Obligations, the Distributable Cash of Morgans Gurantor’s direct or indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries, membership or other equity interests which are not pledged to or otherwise
encumbered by any lien, charge or other encumbrance in favor of any Person other than
Morgans Guarantor or Lender; (ii) the aggregate amount of available borrowing of such Person
under credit facilities and other lines of credit; and (iii) except as provided in the
following sentence, the aggregate maximum amount, if any, of all committed and undrawn or
uncalled capital available to such Person (as to any Person its “Available Capital”) under
the terms of any partnership, limited liability, statutory business trust, or similar
agreement of such Person from any Constituent Member (other than (x) any Constituent Member
of another Constituent Member that is publicly traded, and (y) in the case of the DLJ
Guarantor (so long as the DLJ Guarantor remains guarantor of any of the Obligations), any
limited partner of DLJMB HRH Co-Investments, L.P., a DLJMB Party (“Co-Investments LP”)),
less, (iv) the aggregate amount of any accrued but unpaid liabilities or obligations
of such Person under the facilities or agreements described in the preceding clauses
(ii) and (iii), other than (for purposes of this clause (iv)) the
principal amount of Indebtedness under any such facilities, and (B) with respect to DLJ
Guarantor, so long as the DLJ Guarantor remains a guarantor of any of the Obligations, as of
a given date, the sum of all of the foregoing with respect to the DLJ Guarantor and, without
duplication, each of the DLJMB Parties. In addition, and notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Available Capital of Co-Investments LP for purposes of determining its
Effective Liquidity shall equal, as of a given date, either (1) Co-Investments LP’s
Available Capital, or (2), if greater, and subject to the following proviso, an aggregate
amount not exceeding one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the aggregate Available Capital of
the other DLJMB Parties, provided that Lender is given, from time to time, such
information as it may reasonably request (including an opinion of counsel to Co-Investments
LP in respect of the following clause (y)) to confirm that the limited partners of
Co-Investments LP (x) are financially capable of funding such amount, and (y) are and remain
obligated to make capital contributions to Co-Investments LP in such aggregate amounts in
order to cause the DLJ Guarantor or DLJMB Parties to pay and perform any obligations
guaranteed with respect to the Loan.
“Net Worth” shall mean, (A) with respect to the Morgans Guarantor only, so long as
Morgans Guarantor remains a guarantor of the Obligations, as of a given date, an amount
equal to the aggregate fair market value of Morgans Guarantor’s assets and properties (i)
as reasonably determined by Lender in good faith applying such customary and reasonable
market factors as Lender shall then apply to similar assets and properties, or (ii) at the
election of Morgans Guarantor, as determined by appraisals prepared by an independent MAI
real estate “state certified general appraiser” (as defined under regulations or guidelines
issued pursuant the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery Enforcement Act of 1989, 12
U.S.C. 1811 et. seq., as amended) selected by the Morgans Guarantor and approved by Lender
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed, or conditioned) at Morgans Guarantor’s sole cost and expense and not more than
ninety (90) days prior to such date, minus the amount of all Indebtedness of Morgans
Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such date, but in no event shall such
amount be less than zero, and (B) with respect to any other Person as of a given date, (i)
such Person’s total assets as of such date, less (ii) such Person’s total
liabilities as of such date, in each case, as they would be reflected in a balance sheet
prepared in accordance with GAAP, provided that, so long as DLJ Guarantor remains a
guarantor of any of the Obligations, the Net Worth of the DLJ Guarantor shall equal, as of a
given date, the sum of the Net Worth (determined as provided in the preceding clause
(B)) of the DLJ Guarantor and, without duplication, each of the DLJMB Parties, including
for purposes of this computation, and subject to the following proviso, the Net Worth of any
limited partner of Co-Investments LP that shall have entered into an equity commitment
letter satisfactory to Lender, for the express benefit of Lender, pursuant to which such
limited partner of Co-Investments LP agrees to, and recognizes the rights of Lender in place
and instead of the general partner or manager of Co-Investments LP to require such limited
partner of Co-Investments LP to, make contributions to Co-Investments LP directly to Lender,
in an aggregate amount not exceeding one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the aggregate Net
Worth of the DLJMB Parties other than Co-Investments LP, provided further,
that Lender is given, from time to time, such information as it may reasonably request
(including an opinion of counsel to Co-Investments LP in respect of the following clause
(y)) to confirm (x) the Net Worth of the limited partners of Co-Investments LP, and (y)
that such limited partners of Co-Investments LP are and remain obligated to make capital
contributions to Co-Investments LP in such aggregate amounts in order to cause the DLJ
Guarantor or DLJMB Parties to pay and perform any obligations guaranteed with respect to the
Loan.
