If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.

(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and the applicable Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, such Lender (or Servicer on behalf of such Lender) shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

(e) With respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority and imposed on any non-U.S. Noteholder due to a change in U.S. law after the date such non-U.S. Noteholder acquired its interest in the Loan (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding (i) income and franchise taxes, (ii) any Taxes imposed by reason of any connection between the non-U.S. Noteholder and the taxing jurisdiction other than entering into this Agreement and receiving payments hereunder, and (iii) any Taxes imposed by reason of the non-U.S. Noteholder’s failure to complete and deliver to the Borrower, prior to the date on which the first payment to such Noteholder is due hereunder and (so long as it remains eligible to do so) from time to time thereafter, (x)(i) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that the Noteholder is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax, (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying that such Noteholder is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero, or (iii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, as appropriate; and (y) any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue Service or any taxing authority reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, Foreign Taxes. If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to a Noteholder hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Noteholder shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Noteholder (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to such Noteholder an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies each Noteholder for any incremental Foreign Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by each such Noteholder which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to each such Noteholder (as appropriate) the required receipts or other required documentary evidence thereof (provided such documents are reasonably available to the Borrower).

-60-

(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder and the events giving rise thereto affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally, (i) the obligation of such 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.

(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority and the events giving rise thereto affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally:

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

(ii) shall hereafter require such Lender to hold additional capital against the Loan in excess of that currently required by Governmental Authorities to be held against loans similar in nature to the Loan; or

(iii) shall hereafter impose on such Lender any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to LIBOR-based interest rates and such Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount received by such Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as determined in good faith by such Lender. If such Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), such Lender shall provide Borrower 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 such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by a Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

-61-

(h) No Lender shall be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes or other amounts incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date such Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.2.3, the term “Lender” shall include the present and future participants of each Lender to the extent of Foreign Taxes imposed by reason of such Lender or participant’s interest in the Loan and each such Lender’s or participant’s increased costs or reduction in amount received or receivable hereunder or any reduced rate of return, in each case payable by Borrower under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Additional Costs. Each 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 Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of such 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 material additional costs, expenses or risk to such Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole but 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 of the Loan 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 Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any 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, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder 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 any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) The Interest Rate Cap Agreement in effect on the Closing Date has a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price and a scheduled termination date of the Initial Maturity Date. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) is in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) is with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) directs such Acceptable Counterparty to pay directly to an account pledged to Lender any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement unless and until otherwise instructed by Lender (it being agreed as between Lender and Borrower that Lender will so instruct the Counterparty at such time as the Debt shall no longer exist, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof), and (iv) has a notional amount at least equal to the principal balance of the Loan outstanding on the Closing Date (it being understood that the notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced, from time to time, as the principal balance of the Loan is reduced (in the amounts of such reduction in principal) pursuant to clause (g) below). Borrower shall collaterally assign to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of 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 the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Collateral Agent an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) and require that payments be paid directly into an account pledged to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender) as provided above in this Section 2.2.7). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts contained in the foregoing pledged account shall be released to Borrower on a monthly basis to the extent not applied toward debt service on the Loan.

(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into a Collection Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Collateral Agent to enforce Collateral Agent’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and, except as set forth in the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by S&P or Xxxxx’x to below the ratings set forth in the definition of “Acceptable Counterparty”, Borrower (i) shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or cause the Counterparty or an Affiliate thereof to post collateral acceptable to Lender) not more than fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of notice of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.2.7) from an Acceptable Counterparty, (ii) if a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement is provided to Lender, then if requested by Lender, shall provide to Lender an opinion of counsel to such Acceptable Counterparty in the form and containing the substance of the form of opinion set forth in Exhibit A to the Mortgage Loan Agreement (with such changes as shall be reasonably approved by Lender), and (iii) shall collaterally assign to Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Lender), pursuant to an assignment in the form of the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

-63-

(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

(e) In connection with any Interest Rate Cap Agreement provided to Lender as herein required, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) in the form and containing the substance of the form of opinion set forth in Exhibit A to the Mortgage Loan Agreement (with such changes as shall be reasonably approved by Lender).

(f) Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that all of the terms, covenants, and conditions contained in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (as amended as of the Closing Date and assigned to the Collateral Agent) shall be and remain in full force and effect, and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement is hereby ratified, reaffirmed and republished in its entirety. Further, it is expressly understood that any assignments and amendments to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement effected simultaneously herewith do not and shall not (i) give rise to any defense, set-off, right of recoupment, claim or counterclaim with respect to any of Borrower’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreements or the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) operate as a waiver of any of Lender’s rights, powers or privileges under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (iii) prejudice, limit or affect in any way any present or future rights, remedies, powers or benefits available to Lender (or Collateral Agent) under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Lastly, Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that (a) all references in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Caps to the “Loan Agreement” shall mean this Agreement and (b) all references in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap to the “Loan” shall mean the Loan, as defined in this Agreement. The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements are made for the benefit of Borrower, Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the existing Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (that is intended to be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this paragraph).

(g) The Interest Rate Cap Agreement in effect on the date hereof shall terminate on the Initial Maturity Date (unless such Interest Rate Cap Agreement terminates sooner upon the occurrence of certain events of default or termination events, as more fully provided therein). Borrower has advised Lenders that if and when Borrower reduces the notional amounts of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement hereunder and under the Mortgage Loan and the Other Mezzanine Loans (as more fully provided in this Section), Borrower intends to apply the cash proceeds resulting from any such reductions in notional amount to extending the term of the Interest Rate Cap Agreements (beyond the Initial Maturity Date, initially, and thereafter beyond such further dates to which the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be extended, as described in this Section). In connection therewith, the parties agree that in connection with any prepayment or reduction in the principal amount of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Other Mezzanine Loans (including reductions in the principal amount thereof prior to the Closing Date), provided

-64-

no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the Counterparty, Collateral Agent and Servicer (or such lesser time as the Counterparty, Collateral Agent and Servicer may agree) and (to the extent the consent of the Counterparty is required with respect to such matter under the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then in effect) with the consent of the Counterparty, either:

(x) (1) amend the existing (or the then existing) Interest Rate Cap Agreement to reduce the notional amount of such existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement (so that, after giving effect to such reduction, the notional amount under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement is equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at such time); and (2) any amounts constituting termination payments or any other amounts due and payable by the Counterparty to the Borrower in connection with any such reduction of the notional amount shall be deposited by the Borrower into the Cap Reserve Account and the Cap Reserve Fund may be applied by the Borrower in connection with such notional reduction to extend the scheduled termination date of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but in no event later than the Second Extended Maturity Date), provided that such notional amount reduction and extension of term shall not affect any of the other terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (including, without limitation, the Strike Price) or the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or Lender’s rights in respect thereof); or

(y) terminate the existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement and utilizing the cash proceeds available to the Borrower arising from such termination (including any other amounts constituting the Cap Reserve Fund) to purchase a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) having a notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan on the date of such purchase, (ii) in form and substance substantially the same as the Interest Rate Cap Agreement being terminated at such time (as such terms may be modified after the date hereof as contemplated hereunder), with such other modifications to the terms as are reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent (so long as in each case the requirements of this Section 2.2.7(g) are otherwise satisfied), (iii) from an Acceptable Counterparty, (iv) having a scheduled termination date which extends beyond the scheduled termination date of the existing (or then existing) Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but in no event later than the Second Extended Maturity Date), (v) having a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price, and (vi) directing such Acceptable Counterparty to pay directly to an account pledged to Collateral Agent any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement unless and until otherwise instructed by Lender (it being agreed as between Servicer (on behalf of the Lenders) and Borrower that Servicer will so instruct the Counterparty at such time as the Debt shall no longer exist, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof). In connection with (and as a condition to executing) any such purchase, Borrower, Collateral Agent and the Counterparty shall enter into a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement in substantially the same form as the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap in effect as of the Closing Date, and, in addition, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Servicer an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Collateral Agent, Lender and their respective successors and assigns may rely) in the form and containing the substance of the form of opinion set forth in Exhibit A (in each case with such changes as shall be reasonably approved by Collateral Agent).

-65-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in connection with any extension or replacement described in the foregoing Section 2.2.7(g), in no event shall Borrower agree to amend any existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement to shorten (or have the right to shorten) the scheduled termination date of any existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and (ii) the Borrower and its Affiliates shall not be required to spend in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement (as may extended pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof) more than the Cap Reserve Fund (meaning, for the avoidance of doubt, the sum of $5,000,000 and the additional amount deposited in the Cap Reserve Account pursuant to Section 2.2.7(g)) on any extension of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement or purchase of any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2.7(g) or in connection with any extension of the Loan as described in Section 2.7 and on any extension of any interest rate cap agreement or purchase of a replacement interest rate cap agreement pursuant to the corresponding provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement by any Mortgage Borrower or Mezzanine Loan Agreement by any Mezzanine Borrower, including in connection with any extension of the Mezzanine Loan as described in the corresponding provision of any Mezzanine Loan Agreement (it being acknowledged that such limitation will result in the strike price in effect with respect to any period after the Initial Maturity Date being greater than the Strike Price on the Closing Date and/or the related notional amount being less than the principal balance of the Loan outstanding at such time if the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may not be extended otherwise to the Second Extended Maturity Date with a lower strike price and/or greater notional amount with (and given) the amount of Cap Reserve Funds available to effect the purchase of such an extension (and in such event the Borrower will determine, subject to the consent of the Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld) and (to the extent the consent of the Counterparty is required with respect to such matter under the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then in effect) with the consent of the Counterparty, which of the following will apply: (i) the strike price will be greater than the Strike Price in effect on the Closing Date, (ii) the notional amount will be less than the principal balance of the Loan outstanding or (iii) some combination of (i) or (ii)). It is understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not amend or modify (expressly or impliedly) any rights of the Counterparty with respect to any Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including without limitation any rights to consent to an amendment or termination of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Section 2.3 Loan Payment.

2.3.1 Payments Generally. (a) On the Original Closing Date and each Payment Date thereafter through and including August 9, 2010, Borrower was required to make a payment to (or as directed by) JPM of interest accruing under the Original Loan Agreement. On the Payment Date occurring on September 9, 2010 Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest (x) accruing under the Original Loan Agreement from the last “Payment Date” under the Original Loan Agreement to the date hereof and (y) accruing hereunder during the entire Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs, calculated in the manner set forth herein. On each Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest accruing hereunder during the entire Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs, calculated in the manner set forth herein. All amounts due pursuant to this

-66-

Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever. Each payment shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (A) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (B) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

(b) If any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its ratable share of the Loan resulting in such Lender receiving payment in excess of its pro rata share of the aggregate amount of such principal and accrued interest thereon, then the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase participations in the interests of each other Lender in the Loan to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by each Lender ratably in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Loan; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct or indirect sale, assignment, participation or other transfer of any interest in the Loans to any Person (including without limitation to the Borrower, Holdings or any Affiliate thereof, whether in connection with any Upfront Purchase, Subsequent Upfront Purchase, ECF Purchase, Optional Note Purchase or otherwise). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Notes, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through and including the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such Interest Period extends beyond the Maturity Date).

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 Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of one percent (1%) of such unpaid sum or 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; provided, however that, except with respect to the payment of any monthly Debt Service payments with respect to which no notice or demand shall be required, no such late payment charge shall be due unless such payment of principal, interest or other sum shall be delinquent for more than five (5) Business Days following the date of demand therefor. 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 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made

-67-

in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds as directed by Servicer (in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1), and any funds received by Servicer (on behalf of 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. Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole or in part, provided the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless, in the case of a prepayment upon the release of an Individual Property, the Event of Default relates solely to such Individual Property and therefore would be fully cured by the release of such Individual Property);

(b) Borrower shall provide prior written notice to Lender specifying the date upon which the prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which notice shall be delivered to Lender not less than ten (10) days prior to such Prepayment Date (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), and which notice shall be irrevocable; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby agrees that Borrower may revoke any notice of prepayment up until the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Prepayment Date (provided that Borrower shall be required to pay Lender, promptly upon demand, any actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender resulting from any such revocation));

(c) each such prepayment, in the case of partial prepayments, shall be in an amount not less than Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), unless the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (prior to such prepayment) shall be less than Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), in which event the amount of the prepayment shall be in such amount as shall prepay the Debt and all other amounts due in connection therewith in full, as more fully provided herein;

(d) if such prepayment is made on or prior to the Payment Date occurring in the Interest Period in which such prepayment was made, then, in connection with such prepayment, Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, all interest on the principal balance of the Note then being prepaid which would have accrued through the end of the Interest Period then in effect notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the Prepayment Date;

(e) if such prepayment is made after a Payment Date occurring in the Interest Period in which such prepayment was made, but prior to the last two (2) Business Days in such Interest Period, Borrower shall make such prepayment without paying any interest thereon (Borrower having already paid interest on such amount on the Payment Date occurring in such Interest Period);

(f) if such prepayment is made on either of the last two (2) Business Days in an Interest Period, Borrower will pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, interest on the principal amount of the Loan prepaid through the last day of the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, calculated at the Applicable Interest Rate; and

-68-

(g) if such prepayment is a prepayment of the Loan in full, Lender shall have received a written consent to the repayment from each Other Mezzanine Lender under each Other Mezzanine Loan or receipt by Lender of other evidence satisfactory to Lender that all conditions imposed under the terms of each Other Mezzanine Loan shall have been complied with by the borrower thereunder or otherwise waived by the applicable Other Mezzanine Lender.

Any prepayment received by Lender on a day other than a Payment Date (but not any amount received between a Payment Date and the second to last Business Day in an Interest Period) shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account as collateral security for the Loan and shall be applied to the Debt on the next occurring Payment Date (with all interest and other income earned on such amount being for the account of Borrower and being remitted by Lender to Borrower promptly following such next Payment Date). Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.1 shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes. Lender agrees that it shall provide a written consent to the repayment of the Loan upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 2.4.1. Following any prepayment of the Loan as described in this Section 2.4.1, the Allocated Loan Amounts shall be reduced (on a pro rata basis) in an amount equal to such prepayment.

2.4.2 Intentionally Omitted.

2.4.3 Mandatory Prepayments from Net Proceeds. (a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds from Mortgage Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Individual Property, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds, together with interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs (with the balance of the Net Proceeds, if any, to be paid over to the Second Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with the Second Mezzanine Loan Agreement (or to the Mezzanine Lender for the next most senior Mezzanine Loan then outstanding for application in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Agreement in effect with respect to such next most senior Mezzanine Loan)). Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. Following any prepayment made as described in this Section 2.4.3, the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property, as set forth in this Agreement, shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Any prepayment of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

-69-

(b) In the event of (i) a Transfer of any Individual Property in connection with the realization thereon following a Mortgage Loan Default, (ii) any refinancing of any Individual Property or the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be remitted directly to Lender (or as directed by Lender). On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such payment occurs. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be remitted to Second Mezzanine Lender (or to an account designated by Second Mezzanine Lender (or to the Mezzanine Lender for the next most senior Mezzanine Loan after the Loan then outstanding for application in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Agreement in effect with respect to such next most senior Mezzanine Loan) (or to an account designated by such lender)). Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.3(b) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. Following the prepayment made as described in this Section 2.4.3(b), the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property, as set forth in this Agreement, shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Any prepayment of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3(b) shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (i) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (ii) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

(e) Intentionally omitted.

(f) Rents under each Operating Lease are paid monthly in advance, on the dates set forth in each Operating Lease.

Any such amounts on deposit in the Borrower Deposit Account shall be applied on each Payment Date (i) to the Mortgage Debt Service due on each such Payment Date and (ii) the Mezzanine Debt Service due on each such Payment Date (with the balance of any such amounts, if any, being disbursed to or as directed by Mortgage Borrower).

In furtherance thereof, Lender, Collateral Agent and Borrower agree as follows:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (c) hereof, all amounts collected in the Collection Accounts shall be transferred on each Business Day to (or as directed by) Operating Company for use or distribution by the Operating Company in its discretion free of any rights or encumbrances of Collateral Agent or any Lender.

In the event that Borrower or Operating Company shall have failed to cause Mortgage Borrower to so instruct Collection Bank, any of Lender, Collateral Agent and Servicer shall have the right to so direct the Collection Bank on behalf of Mortgage Borrower and Operating Company. Any amounts not required to be so deposited into the Cash Management Account shall be transferred on each Business Day thereafter to (or as directed by) Operating Company for use or distribution by the Operating Company in its discretion free of any rights or encumbrances of any Lender or Collateral Agent. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder but an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Other Mezzanine Loan Documents, to the extent Monthly Disbursements are not applied to the payment of amounts due hereunder, such excess shall be remitted to the Second Mezzanine Lender or to an account designated by the Second Mezzanine Lender (or to the Other Mezzanine Lender for the next most senior Mezzanine Loan then outstanding or an account designated by such Other Mezzanine Lender); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not remit any such amounts in excess of the amounts owed by the Operating Company under the Operating Lease. If an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Other Mezzanine Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, to the extent Monthly Disbursements are not applied to the payment of amounts due hereunder, Collateral Agent and Servicer shall have the right to retain such excess as collateral for the Loan and/or apply (or cause to be applied) such excess to the payment of the Debt.

Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the Original Closing Date (or, with respect to each Swap Property and the related Borrowers and Mortgage Borrowers, from the Swap Closing Date) and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Pledge Agreement (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.

Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Collateral or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to cause Mortgage Borrower to directly pay or cause to be paid Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

Borrower shall not suffer (and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to suffer) and shall promptly pay or cause to be paid and discharged (or cause Mortgage Borrower to pay or cause to be paid and discharged) any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Properties other than Permitted Encumbrances, and shall promptly pay or cause to be paid for all utility services provided to the Properties. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or cause Mortgage Borrower 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 Default or 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 applicable material other instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all Legal Requirements; (c) none of the Collateral, any Individual Property or any part of either or interest in either will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall promptly upon receipt of a final, non-appealable determination thereof pay (or cause Mortgage Borrower 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 Individual Property; and (f) Borrower shall furnish or cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

Lender (at Lender’s sole cost and expense) shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine the books, records and accounts of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower at the office of Borrower or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.

(b) Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender annually, within no more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, a complete copy of the annual financial statements of the Operating Company, Mortgage Borrower and Borrower (and of no other entity or Person), audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant acceptable to Lender in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) covering the Properties on a combined basis for such Fiscal Year (and no other Persons, Properties or assets) and containing statements of profit and loss for the Operating Companies, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and the Properties (on a combined basis) and a balance sheet for the Operating Company, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and the Properties (on a combined basis), in each case showing no other assets than the Properties (and the interests of Operating Company, Borrower and Mortgage

-108-

Borrower therein). All such statements shall set forth the financial condition and the results of operations for the Properties for such Fiscal Year, and shall include, but not be limited to, amounts representing Borrower’s reasonable and good faith determination of aggregate annual EBITDAM and Excess Cash Flow from all of the Properties and capital expenditures (allocated between maintenance and growth) at the Properties. All such statements (other than Excess Cash Flow) shall also set forth unaudited schedules for each Individual Property, detailing the statements of profit and loss and a balance sheet for each Individual Property, as well as gross revenues, gross hotel and casino revenues, EBITDAM and capital expenditures (allocated between maintenance and growth). The annual financial statements, as described above, shall be accompanied by (1) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for the prior Fiscal Year, (2) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, (3) room rate reports and RevPAR calculations, and (4) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (A) that each annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of the Operating Companies, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and the Properties being reported upon, (B) that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) and (C) as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same. Any audits performed by Borrower (and any audited materials and other information provided to Lender, as required hereunder in order for Borrower to comply with the requirements of this subparagraph (b)) may be performed with respect to the Properties on a “combining basis” (so that a single audit of the Properties, rather than individual audits of each of the separate Properties, may be performed and provided).

(c) Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter the following items, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such items fairly present the financial condition and results of the Operating Company, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and the Properties, subject to normal year-end adjustments, as applicable: (i) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) noting such information as is necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of the Properties during such quarter, and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses together with a detailed explanation of any variances of ten percent (10%) or more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and (ii) a calculation reflecting the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, gross revenues, gross hotel and casino revenues, EBITDAM, Excess Cash Flow and capital expenditures (allocated between maintenance and growth), in each case for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of the last day of such quarter.

-109-

more than ninety (90) days. In addition, Borrower shall be obligated to provide the statements and calculations (other than Excess Cash Flow), as well as the Officer’s Certificate described in this subparagraph (c), and the “White Books” to Lender on a monthly basis (such requirements to be modified as appropriate to reflect the fact that the information shall be required to be provided monthly (e.g., monthly rent rolls, monthly and year-to-date operating statements)), a calculation reflecting the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of the last day of such month, and a calculation of the Post-Rio Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as of the last day of such month, if applicable, for each month during the existence of a Rio Leverage Event (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement), in each case within no more than thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month.

Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to submit to Lender any material variation, material amendment, material supplement or other material modification to the Annual Budget in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender and for informational purposes only (unless (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and/or (B) any event of default as defined in the Mortgage Loan Documents and any of the Other Mezzanine Loan Documents shall have occurred thereunder and be continuing, in which event such material variations, material amendments, material supplements or material modifications shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender).

(ii) For the partial year period commencing on the date hereof, and for each Fiscal Year thereafter, Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to submit to Lender an annual capital spending budget (“Cap Ex Budget”) not later than the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender and for informational purposes only (unless (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and/or (B) any event of default as defined in any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Other Mezzanine Loan Documents shall have occurred thereunder and be continuing, in which event the Cap Ex Budget shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender). Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to submit to Lender any material variation, material amendment, material supplement or other material modification to the Cap Ex Budget in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender and for informational purposes only (unless (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and/or (B) any event of default as defined in any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Other Mezzanine Loan Documents shall have occurred thereunder and be continuing, in which event such material variations, material amendments, material supplements or material modifications shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender).

-110-

(e) If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Properties and Related Properties collectively, will be a “Significant Obligor”, as that term is defined in Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB (as defined below), Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any other loans made to an Affiliate of Borrower or secured by a Related Property, that is included in a Securitization with the Loan (each, a “Related Loan”) 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 loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all 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 ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower 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, in writing, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any of the Properties (other than a tenant that is a reporting company under the Exchange Act) 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 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. “Related Property” shall mean a parcel of real property, together with improvements thereon and personal property related thereto, that is “related”, within the meaning of the definition of Significant Obligor, to any of the Properties. “Regulation AB” shall mean Regulation AB under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as such Regulation may be amended from time to time.

(f) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Operating Company hereunder pursuant to Section 5.1.11(e) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and all such financial statements shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB, Regulation S-X, Regulation S-K to the extent applicable and any other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in clause (ii) of Section 5.1.11(e) shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB, Regulation S-X, Regulation S-K to the extent applicable and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually

-111-

executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB, Regulation S-X, Regulation S-K to the extent applicable and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided, in each case if applicable. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section 5.1.11(f) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate which shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.11(f) to the extent applicable.

(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, Regulation S-X, Regulation S-K or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1.11(e) and (f), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

The filings described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made at such times as Holdings files with the SEC its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, commencing with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2010.

Lender’s consent shall not be required for any Alterations other than the Alterations described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, without Lender’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in no event shall Borrower close or shutter, or undertake or permit any tenant or other Person to undertake, an Alteration that, alone or together with other work then being undertaken, closes or shutters, more than ten percent (10%) of the income-generating space in any Individual Property at any one time. Prior to undertaking any Alteration with respect to an Individual Property in excess of five percent (5%) of the sum of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Individual Property as of the date hereof and the “Allocated Loan Amounts” under (and as defined in each of) the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the Other Mezzanine Loan Agreements for such Individual Property as of the date hereof, to afford Lender a prior and reasonable opportunity to determine whether or not the proposed Alteration would have an Individual Material Adverse Effect, Borrower will deliver such plans, specifications, project schedules, logistical plans, construction budgets (including a statement of sources and uses) and such other information as Lender may reasonably request in respect of such Alteration for review by Lender (and its consultants). All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with reviewing said Alterations proposal, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and Lender’s consultants, shall be paid by Borrower.

-118-

re-submitted notice or request for confirmation or approval) within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of same, Borrower shall re-submit such instruments or materials to Lender for Lender’s confirmation or approval and give Lender a second notice (in bold typeface) that states “SECOND NOTICE — YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE AND REQUEST FOR [CONFIRMATION] [APPROVAL] WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR DEEMED [CONFIRMATION] [CONSENT] TO THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN OR THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS NOTICE”. If Lender fails to respond to such second notice within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of same, then Lender’s confirmation or consent, as applicable, to the proposed request or submission that is the subject of such notice shall be deemed granted.

Such security, including the amount of the guaranteed obligations under any completion guaranty delivered as aforesaid, shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and (ii) the costs of collection, and, upon the occurrence 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.

(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times during the term of the Loan the Policies required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting all insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the Policies required under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall also 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. Borrower shall provide Lender

-136-

with evidence of all such insurance required hereunder on or before the date on which Mortgage Borrower is required to provide such evidence to Mortgage Lender. For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to above and in the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as are provided in favor of the Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect when and as required hereunder and/or under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties or the Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate (but limited to the coverages and amounts required hereunder and/or under the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(c) All of the coverages required by this Section 6.1 have been in place as of the Original Closing Date (or, with respect to the Swap Properties, as of the Swap Closing Date).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lender (rather than the Lender directly), shall be the secured party, the loss payee and the additional insured under all insurance policies required under this Article VI and any reference to “Lender” in this Article VI in which “Lender” is acting as the secured party, the loss payee or the additional insured shall, unless the context shall clearly require otherwise, be deemed to be referring to Collateral Agent, in its capacity as collateral agent for the Lender.

Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Individual Property shall be materially damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower 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 Borrower or Mortgage Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than, in the case of each Casualty, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the sum of the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property as of the date hereof and the “Allocated Loan Amounts” under (and as defined in each of) the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the Other Mezzanine Loan Agreements for the affected Individual Property as of the date hereof, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

-137-

Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall 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), Borrower 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 Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If any Individual 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. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender 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 the Restoration of any Individual Property after a Casualty or Condemnation.

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. (a) On each Payment Date during the term, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) an amount equal to (i) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the amounts deposited with Lender or Servicer pursuant to this sentence, collectively, the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender shall apply (or direct Servicer to apply) the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender or Servicer may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such

-138-

xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall return (or direct Servicer to return) any excess to Borrower (or to Operating Company, if so directed by Borrower). In allocating such excess, Lender or Servicer may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender or Servicer to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender (or Servicer) by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make any deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund on account of Insurance Premiums if (and for so long as) Borrower shall maintain a blanket insurance policy in respect of the Properties that is in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in all material respects.

All interest or other earnings on funds held in a Reserve Account shall be added to and become a part of the applicable Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Account. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender (or Servicer on its behalf) to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (a) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (b) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created, and (c) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Upon the occurrence 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, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to all or any of 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 and may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted and enacted by the State or States where any of the Collateral is located, against Borrower and any or all of 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 Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and 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 of an Event of Default, but in compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower 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 with respect to all or any of the Collateral. 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, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not 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 Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of

-147-

the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral 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 any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right 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. Borrower 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 request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 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, 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 three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. The Severed Loan Documents shall (A) not increase the aggregate stated principal amount of the Loan, (B) provide that the weighted average spread of the Loan on the date of such severance shall equal the weighted average spread which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such severance (Borrower acknowledging that such Severed Loan Document may, in connection with the application of principal to the amounts evidenced by such Severed Loan Documents, subsequently cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified notes to change), (C) not adversely affect the overall economics to Borrower of the Loan, taken as a whole, or (D) expose Borrower to any additional costs or increased risk of any liability (beyond that or greater than that existing in the Loan Documents in effect on the date hereof).

(c) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or

-148-

remedy which Lender may have against Borrower 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 Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral 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.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender to enter upon any Individual Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in any Individual Property 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 8.2, 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 such cost or expense was incurred into 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 be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower and without releasing Mortgage Borrower from any obligation under the Mortgage Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, make, do or perform any obligation of Mortgage Borrower under Mortgage Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Mortgage Loan Event of Default or such failed payment or act shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into 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 be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

-149-

(f) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section 8.2, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

Section 8.3 Intentionally Omitted

Section 8.4 Costs of Collection. In the event that after an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof: (a) the Note or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note or any of the Loan Documents or (c) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, then, in any such instance, Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Lender at the Default Rate.

IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Servicer. (a) Lender shall service the Loan and administer the Collateral through a servicer (the “Servicer”) pursuant to a servicing agreement, and Lender hereby irrevocably delegates all authority hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in connection with the Loan and its servicing and administration of the Loan and the Collateral to Servicer (or to a replacement servicer appointed by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any). Lender has initially retained Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the initial Servicer, to service the Loan and administer the Collateral, and Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any change to the identity of the Servicer that may be appointed by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any. Borrower acknowledges that, in the event of a Securitization, the term “Servicer” may include a master servicer, primary servicer and/or special servicer, as their duties may appear in the applicable securitization servicing agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary (and excepting only in those instances in this Agreement which refer to a Collateral Agent):

(i) all consents and approvals of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents of any kind shall be made by Servicer (with the consent of Lender in accordance with and to the extent required in the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, with the consent of the Mortgage Lender and Other Mezzanine Lender in accordance with and to the extent required in the Intercreditor Agreement, and with the consent of the Specified Mezzanine Lender in such capacity, solely to the extent required under Section 3.3(c) of the Note Sales Agreement), and all determinations by Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents of any kind (whether such determination is styled as or requires that such determination be satisfactory, acceptable, reasonable or otherwise) shall be made by Servicer (with the consent of Lender in accordance with and to the extent required in the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and with the consent of the Mortgage Lender and Other Mezzanine Lender in accordance with and to the extent required in the Intercreditor Agreement);

-150-

(ii) the taking of all actions and the exercise of all discretion by Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents of any kind (including without limitation all requests for information, notices, opinions, certificates, instruments, deliverables or other materials of any kind, all requests for any Consolidated Entity or its Affiliates to take any action, the exercise of all rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including elections with respect to terminations of or other actions under any Organizational Documents, Operating Leases, Management Agreement, Shared Services Agreements, Loan Documents, actions in respect of or in connection with cash management, casualty events, insurance and actions pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and the Intercreditor Agreement) shall be taken or exercised by Servicer (with the consent of or at the direction of Lender in accordance with and to the extent required by the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, with the consent of the Mortgage Lender and Other Mezzanine Lender in accordance with and to the extent required in the Intercreditor Agreement, and with the consent of the Specified Mezzanine Lender solely to the extent required under Section 3.3(c) of the Note Sales Agreement);

(iii) all payments of any kind (including without limitation payments of principal, interest, late charges and payments into reserves or otherwise) that are described herein as being made (or required in this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents to be made) to Lender shall be made to Servicer (for application by the Servicer (as applicable) in accordance with the servicing agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and the Intercreditor Agreement) other than, in each case, payments to any Lender in respect of an Optional Note Purchase pursuant to the Note Sales Agreement;

(iv) all deliveries of any kind (including without limitation notices, requests, certificates, Officer’s Certificates or other materials (including financial statements and information required by Section 5.1.11) required or desired to be sent to Lender shall be sent to the Servicer; and

(v) all requests described in this Agreement as being made by Lender may be made by Servicer or Collateral Agent on behalf of Lender.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, and excepting only in those instances in this Agreement which refer to a Collateral Agent, Borrower is hereby directed to (1) take all instructions in respect of actions or the exercise of discretion contemplated by clause (ii) above from Servicer (and disregard any such from Lender), (2) to make all payments contemplated by clause (iii) above to Servicer (and not to Lender) and (3) to make all deliveries contemplated by clause (iv) above to Servicer (and not to Lender). Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any consents, approvals or determinations contemplated by clause (i) above by or from Servicer and/or notices or instructions contemplated by clause (ii) above from Servicer and/or requests from Servicer as if such consents, approvals, determinations, notices, instructions and/or request had been from or by Lender, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or of any Loan Document to the contrary.

-151-

For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” as used in this Article IX includes each Lender individually and the Lender collectively, and each Noteholder individually and the Noteholders collectively. In addition, any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to any consent, approval, delivery, payment or other matter contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) to be obtained by or provided to Mortgage Lender or any Other Mezzanine Lender shall mean the consent, approval, delivery, payment or other such matter to or of the applicable servicer acting on behalf of the applicable Mortgage Lender or any Other Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the corresponding provisions of this Article IX under the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents or Mezzanine Loan Documents.

Lender shall be responsible for the payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer in connection with its servicing of the Loan and the Notes (on a pro rata basis) (and Lender may pay the monthly servicing fee out of any amounts paid by Borrower to Servicer on behalf of Lender hereunder), and, unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Servicer resulting from any Borrower requests (for approvals, consents, waivers, amendments, modifications or otherwise) to Servicer, or resulting from any action taken by Lender or Servicer hereunder subsequent to an Event of Default (including, without limitation, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrowers’ defaults under the Loan Documents). Each of Borrower and Servicer acknowledge and agree to Section 9.1(d) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the matters contemplated thereunder.

Section 9.2 Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower 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 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 Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral given to Lender, and each Lender, 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 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 9.2 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 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 or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) intentionally omitted; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully

-152-

realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Collateral; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by or on behalf of Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Manager, any Operating Company or any Guarantor in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and/or the Loan;

(ii) the misappropriation, conversion or misapplication in contravention of the Loan Documents by any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Manager, any Operating Company or any Guarantor of any funds of any Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any Manager or any Operating Company, including, without limitation, (A) any Revenues, (B) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, (C) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, or (D) any Rents or security deposits (or any item of Revenue, from whatever source) following an Event of Default;

(iii) the misappropriation, conversion or misapplication by any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Manager, any Operating Company or any Guarantor of any security deposits or Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance;

(iv) any act of actual intentional physical waste by any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Manager, any Operating Company or any Guarantor;

(v) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender, Servicer or Collateral Agent with respect thereto in either document;

(vi) if any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any Operating Company fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any voluntary intentional Transfer (whether by any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any Operating Company) as required by this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the Mortgages, as applicable;

(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to any of the Properties which are not delivered to Mortgage Lender, Mortgage Loan Collateral Agent or the Servicer (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) upon a foreclosure of any of the Properties or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;

(viii) in the event of: (A) any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Operating Company or any Guarantor filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (B) the filing of an

-153-

involuntary petition against any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Operating Company or any Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law by any Person in which such Borrower, such Mortgage Borrower, such Operating Company or such Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, agents or employees colludes with or such other Person, or such Borrower, such Operating Company or such Guarantor soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against such Borrower, such Mortgage Borrower, such Operating Company or such Guarantor from any Person; (C) any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Operating Company or any Guarantor filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it by any other Person, other than Lender, under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (D) any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Operating Company or any Guarantor consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for such Borrower, such Mortgage Borrower, such Operating Company or such Guarantor or any of the Properties, Collateral or any portion thereof, other than at the request of Lender; or (E) any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Operating Company or any Guarantor making an assignment for the benefit of creditors (other than Lender), or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding (unless failure to make such admission would be a violation of law), its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due;

(ix) if any Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity or breaches any material representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.1.30 of this Agreement or if any Mortgage Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) or breaches any material representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.1.30 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement; and

(x) if any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, or any Operating Company fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any voluntary Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness or Permitted Indebtedness (Operating Company), as applicable) or voluntary Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) encumbering the Collateral, any of the Properties as required by this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the Mortgages, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, neither any present or future Affiliate of any Borrower (other than Guarantor, to the extent provided under the Guaranty) nor any present or future shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, partner, member, principal, participant or agent of or in any Borrower or of or in any person or entity that is or becomes an Affiliate of any Borrower shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with the Loan Documents. Neither the negative capital account of any Affiliate of any Borrower in such Borrower, or in any other Affiliate of such Borrower, nor any obligation of any Affiliate of any Borrower in such Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to such Borrower or to any other Affiliate of such Borrower shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of such Borrower (or any other Affiliate of such Borrower) and neither Lender nor its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against any such negative capital account or obligation to restore, contribute or loan capital.

-154-

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Indebtedness or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Section 9.3 Assignments. The Noteholders shall have the right, subject to this Section 9.3 and the applicable provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and the Intercreditor Agreement, to assign, sell, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate all or any portion of their rights and obligations under their respective Notes (such assignments, sales, negotiations, pledges and/or hypothecations, collectively, an “Assignment”). No Noteholder shall assign, sell, negotiate, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights in and to a Note to any other Person (an “Assignee”) (a) other than in compliance with Section 9.6, the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and the Intercreditor Agreement, and (b) unless such transaction shall be an assignment of a constant (and not varying), ratable percentage of such Noteholder’s interest in the Loan; provided, however, any Noteholder shall have the right at any time without the consent of or notice to any other Noteholder or other Person (but only if in compliance with the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and Intercreditor Agreement) to grant a security interest in all or any portion of such Noteholder’s interest in the Loan or a Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or the central reserve bank or similar authority of any other country to secure any obligation of such Noteholder to such bank or similar authority (a “Central Bank Pledge”). Effective on any such assignment and assumption by the Assignee and on compliance with Section 9.6 hereof, the assigning Noteholder shall have no further liability hereunder with respect to the interest of such Noteholder that was the subject of such transfer and such Assignee shall be a Noteholder with respect to such interest, and Borrower shall have the same rights as to such Noteholder with respect to such interest from and after the date of such assignment as if such Noteholder were an original Noteholder hereunder. Except for a Central Bank Pledge or financing transaction under a repurchase agreement, a Noteholder making any such assignment shall notify Borrower of same, specifying the Assignee thereof and the amount of the assignment and shall provide such other detail as Borrower may reasonably request to substantiate compliance with the foregoing.

Section 9.4 Participation. Each Noteholder may, without the consent of the Borrower, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Note owing to it); provided that (A) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, shall remain unchanged, (B) such Participant complies with the applicable provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and Intercreditor Agreement, (C) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (D) the Borrower and the other Noteholders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 (subject to requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if

-155-

it were a Noteholder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Sections 9.3 and 9.6. Each Noteholder (or servicer or designee on its behalf) that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Noteholder shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 9.5 Borrower’s Facilitation of Transfer. In order to facilitate permitted Assignments and other transfers to Assignees and sales to Participants, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender and shall cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lender such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lender may reasonably require, including supplemental or severed notes substantially in the form of the existing notes against surrender of the prior notes. Such supplemental or severed notes shall provide that they evidence a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Notes and not any new or additional indebtedness of the Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental or severed notes related to such Note but shall exclude any Note it replaces. The provisions of Section 2.1.5 shall apply to any such supplemental or severed notes (such provisions being incorporated herein by this reference). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documents, instruments or agreements shall not (a) increase the obligations or liabilities of any such Person hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in excess of the obligations or liabilities intended to be provided herein or in the other Loan Documents or (b) decrease such Person’s rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to less than what they were prior to the execution of such documents, instruments or agreements.

Section 9.6 Notice; Registration Requirement. No sale or Assignment of any part of a Lender’s interest in and to the Loan and its Note, other than as contemplated by Section 9.4 hereof, shall be effective or permitted hereunder unless and until (a) an assignment and acceptance agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C is executed and delivered by the parties to such sale (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) shall have been delivered to Servicer, (b) Servicer shall have registered such Assignee’s name and address in the Register which Servicer maintains for the recordation of the names, addresses and interests of Noteholders, (c) if such Assignee is not already a Noteholder hereunder, such Assignee shall deliver any tax forms required hereunder and (d) if the Loan is not already subject to a Co-Lender Agreement (i.e. it is the first Assignment after the date hereof of less than any Lender’s entire interest in the Loan) a Co-Lender Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit L to the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Co-Lender Agreement Form”) is executed and delivered simultaneous therewith. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. This Section 9.6 shall not apply to any Central Bank Pledge.

Section 9.7 Registry. Borrower hereby designates Lender to serve as Borrower’s agent, and Lender hereby designates Servicer to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 9.7, to maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Assignee, and the principal amount of the Loan (or portions thereof) owing to, each Lender

-156-

pursuant to the terms hereof and the Note Sales Agreement from time to time (the “Register”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. With respect to any Noteholder, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, its interest in the Loan and a Note shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by Servicer with respect to ownership of such Loan and a Note and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Note shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of a transfer of all or part of the Loan and a Note shall be recorded by Servicer on the Register only upon the acceptance by Servicer of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Acceptance by the assignor and assignee. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower from time to time. At the assigning Noteholder’s option, concurrently with the delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which an interest of such Noteholder in the Loan and Note was assigned to such Assignee, the assigning Noteholder shall surrender to Borrower its Note, if any, evidencing the portion of the Loan corresponding to the interest so transferred and Borrower shall deliver to Noteholder one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount issued to the assigning Noteholder and/or the Assignee.

Section 9.8 Cooperation in Syndication. (a) Borrower agrees, upon the request of one or more Initial Lenders, to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist each such Initial Lender in connection with one secondary syndication (per Initial Lender) of the Loan or of all or any portion of such Initial Lender’s Note (a “Syndication”). Such assistance with such an Assisted Syndication shall include, with respect to each Initial Lender’s Assisted Syndication, using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) facilitate direct contact between senior management, advisors and Affiliates of Borrower and the proposed Assignees and/or Participants, (ii) assist in the preparation of such Disclosure Documents as shall be used in connection with each Assisted Syndication, and providing information with respect to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Holdings, Manager, the Operating Company, Guarantor and the Properties contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as each Initial Lender may reasonably request in connection with each Assisted Syndication, (iii) host with each Initial Lender together with its prospective Assignees and/or Participants, or attend one or more meetings with prospective Assignees and/or Participants, (iv) attend periodic update calls with each Initial Lender engaged in an Assisted Syndication and its prospective Assignees and/or Participants, and (v) provide such other general assistance as reasonably requested by any Initial Lender in each Assisted Syndication and marketing of the Debt (Borrower agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its senior management, advisors and Affiliates to cooperate as aforesaid and as shall be reasonably requested by each such Initial Lender).

-157-

(iii) if the Initial Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to exercise its rights under Section 2.1.5, Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Initial Lender engaged in the Assisted Syndication in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Notes, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to use reasonable efforts to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same.

(c) Each Initial Lender engaged in an Assisted Syndication and Borrower each shall pay their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, legal fees in connection with any of the foregoing matters, except that all costs and expenses of Borrower associated with (1) any restructuring of the Loan requested by a Lender under clause (iii) above and (2) any actions requested by a Lender under clause (ii) above, shall in each case be paid solely by such Initial Lender.

Section 9.9 Sale of Notes and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may sell all or any portion of its Note and its interest in the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated or unrated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of its Note and its interest in the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include its Note and interest in the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). Borrower agrees, upon the request of one or more Initial Lenders, to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such Initial Lender in connection with one Assisted Securitization (per Initial Lender) with respect to each such Initial Lender and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of each such requesting Initial Lender or which may be reasonably required by each such requesting Initial Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which such Initial Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective purchasers, investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Assisted Securitization, or which are required to comply with any applicable securities laws (provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing contained in this Section 9.9 shall contravene or diminish Borrower’s obligation to provide all information and other items otherwise required to be provided under any other provision of this Agreement), including, without limitation, to:

Section 9.10 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with any Assisted Securitization and may also be included in filings with the SEC 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”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to any Assisted Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with each Initial Lender in updating the Disclosure Document in connection with an Assisted Securitization by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects to the extent in Borrower’s possession.

(b) Borrower agrees to provide, in connection with any Assisted Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) Borrower has carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, if applicable and without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Collateral,” “Description of the Mezzanine Loans,” “The Operating Company,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mezzanine Loans,” and/or such sections in Disclosure Documents under different headings and containing information provided by the Borrower relating to the Properties, Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, Principal, Holdings, the Operating Company, the Mortgage Loan and the Loan and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Holdings, the Collateral, Operating Company, the Mortgage Loan and the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) indemnifying the applicable Initial Lender, and any Affiliate of such Initial Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to an Assisted Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with an Assisted Securitization, any Affiliate of the applicable Initial Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Assisted Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Assisted 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 losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject (whether or not arising from any third party claim) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any

-160-

material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities provided, however, that Borrower shall have liability with respect to Liabilities arising out of or based upon the Covered Disclosure Information only to the extent that such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in the Covered Disclosure Information in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the applicable Initial Lender or the Noteholders by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or in connection with the underwriting or the closing of the Loan (including without limitation financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Properties), and in no event shall Borrower be liable for Liabilities arising from information contained in a Disclosure Document that was not provided to Borrower for comment at least five (5) Business Days prior to its dissemination or on which Borrower provided comments to Initial Lender in writing and Initial Lender failed to incorporate such comments (assuming such comments were accurate). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.

(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act (if any), Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for 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 in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.10 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.10. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify Borrower thereof, Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Borrower to an Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, Borrower shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except

-161-

as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to Borrower, the Indemnified Person or Persons 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 or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such 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 the Indemnified Person in question (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given such Indemnified Person 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 proceedings. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(f) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.10 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 9.10), then Borrower, 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: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.10, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) Borrower agrees that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.

-162-

(g) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.10 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower further agrees that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.10.

(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and Borrower under this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

Section 9.11 Amendments to the Co-Lender Agreement, Intercreditor Agreement, Servicing Agreement and Participation Agreements. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Lender has provided to Borrower copies of the servicing agreement with Servicer, the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, the Intercreditor Agreement and all other intercreditor/participation agreements that are in effect on the Closing Date. Lender will provide to Borrower copies of any additional or supplemental servicing agreements, Co-Lender Agreements, if any, Intercreditor Agreements and all other new intercreditor/participation agreements that are entered into by Lender subsequent to the Closing Date and any amendments, modifications or supplements to any of the foregoing documents in effect on or executed after the Closing Date (any such additional, supplemental or new servicing agreements, Co-Lender Agreement, Intercreditor Agreement and/or intercreditor/participation agreement, or any such amendments, modifications or supplements effected after the Closing Date, a “New Syndication Arrangement”), with respect to, in connection with, or otherwise affecting the Loan, the Mortgage Notes, the Mezzanine Notes or the terms thereof. Such New Syndications Arrangements will be, with respect to the substance of the voting matters set forth in such agreements and the aggregate percentage interest of the parties thereto required to consent to such voting matters, in each case, if applicable, as set forth in each such agreement (such matters and percentage interests, collectively, the “Voting Matters”), (i) substantially consistent with such Voting Matters as are set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement (or, if the Loan is not already subject to a Co-Lender Agreement, a Co-Lender Agreement in the form of the Co-Lender Agreement Form), intercreditor agreement or participation agreement (as applicable depending on the agreement that is being supplemented, amended or replaced) in effect on the date hereof (or, if such New Syndication Arrangement is not replacing, supplementing, modifying or amending an agreement in effect on the Closing Date, then substantially consistent with the Voting Matters set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement (or, if the Loan is not already subject to a Co-Lender Agreement, a Co-Lender Agreement in the form of the Co-Lender Agreement Form)) or, if not, reasonably acceptable to Borrower with respect to such Voting Matters, and (ii) otherwise consistent with the provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall have the right to reasonably approve the substance of the Voting Matters set forth in each New Syndication Arrangement; provided, that, to the extent that the provisions thereof consisting of the Voting Matters, if any, either (x) are not material and adverse to Borrower or (y) they otherwise comply with the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), then in either case Borrower’s consent to such New Syndication Arrangement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

-163-

(b) Borrower hereby confirms its understanding that the references to intercreditor and participation agreements in the foregoing paragraph are not intended to include references to participation agreements entered into solely between a Lender and a Participant on or after the date hereof in compliance with Section 9.4.

Section 9.12 Collateral Agent. (a) Pursuant to that certain Co-Origination Agreement dated January 28, 2008 by and among, inter alia, JPM and the other Initial Lenders, German American Capital Corporation or their predecessors (as amended from time to time, the “Co-Origination Agreement”), JPM and the other parties thereto agreed amongst themselves to extend the Original Loan to Borrower and accordingly, JPM, on behalf of itself and the Lenders or their predecessors party to the Co-Origination Agreement, entered into the Original Loan Agreement and the various loan documents contemplated thereby and has acted as the secured party of record for purposes of the grants of security and collateral contained in the various Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (i) designates and appoints Bank of America, N.A. as the Collateral Agent with respect to the agreements and other documents listed on Schedule XXXIII (collectively, the “Collateral Loan Documents”), to act as secured party or other applicable named party (including, without limitation, as named insurer and loss payee) on behalf of the Lenders, (ii) names the Collateral Agent as a replacement secured party of record, and (iii) authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties (A) as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) as are necessary to comply with any direction given to the Collateral Agent by the Servicer, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, with respect to the Collateral Loan Documents. Collateral Agent hereby (1) accepts such designation and appointment, (2) agrees to act as a replacement secured party of record, (3) agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Servicer in the performance of its obligations and in acting upon the direction of the Servicer, and (4) agrees to take such actions on behalf of Lender and exercise such powers and perform such duties (i) as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) as are necessary or advisable to comply with any direction given to the Collateral Agent by the Servicer, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, with respect to the Collateral Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the Collateral Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any

-164-

Borrower herein or in any report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower. Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless it shall have received notice from a Lender, Servicer or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”

(c) Collateral Agent agrees that it will confirm receipt (in a writing to each Lender) of any Collateral Loan Document that it receives (including following the recordation of any such Collateral Loan Documents, from time to time) within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of each such Collateral Loan Document (in each case). Collateral Agent shall (or shall cause its designee to) review the Loan Documents constituting the custodial file (as set forth on the closing checklist of Loan Documents to be delivered in connection with the origination of the amended and restated Loan on the Closing Date) and, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, deliver to the Lender a trust receipt, in compliance with that certain custodial arrangement between the Lender and Bank of America, N.A., as custodian, evidencing receipt of such Loan Documents, together with a schedule of exceptions to such receipt. The Collateral Agent (or its designee) shall continue to act as the custodian of the Loan Documents on behalf of Lender and shall comply with the terms and provisions of any existing custodial arrangement with the Lender with respect thereto.

(d) Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such, is a “representative” of each Lender within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Loan Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated in this Agreement and in such documents to be taken by the Collateral Agent. Each Lender agrees that no Lender (other than the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as the Collateral Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of each Lender) at the direction of the Servicer in accordance with the Collateral Loan Documents, any applicable Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and any applicable intercreditor or servicing agreements. In the event that any collateral is hereafter pledged by any person as collateral security for the Debt, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of each Lender any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a first priority lien on such collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lender. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to release any lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any collateral as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the direction of the Servicer and the express terms of this Agreement, the applicable Loan Document and the applicable provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, and in each case subject to the requirements and approvals required in the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, each Lender shall confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to

-165-

release particular types or items of collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of assets constituting collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document or consented to in writing by the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lender herein or pursuant hereto with respect to the collateral that was so sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Debt or the secured obligations or any liens upon (or obligations of any Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by any Borrower, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the failure of Collateral Agent to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall not (a) be deemed to be a waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (b) adversely affect any rights of Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(e ) The Collateral Agent (i) may resign at any time upon notice to each Lender, and (ii) may be removed at any time upon the decision of Lender made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any. If the Collateral Agent shall resign or be removed, Lender shall have the right to select a replacement collateral agent in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement, if any. Upon the replacement of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall assign all of the liens upon and security interests in all collateral under the Collateral Loan Documents, and all right, title and interest of the Collateral Agent under all the Collateral Loan Documents, to the replacement Collateral Agent, without recourse to the Collateral Agent or any Lender and at the expense of Borrower. No resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent shall become effective until a replacement Collateral Agent shall have been selected as provided in this Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, if any, and shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and under the Collateral Loan Documents. In the event that a replacement Collateral Agent shall not have been selected as provided in this Agreement or shall not have assumed such obligations within ninety (90) days after the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a replacement Collateral Agent. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any change to the identity of the Collateral Agent that may be appointed by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement, if any.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge that in the event that Bank of America, N.A. is replaced as Collateral Agent with respect to the Mortgage Loan but remains as Collateral Agent with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall be responsible for the annual fee payable to the Collateral Agent in the amount and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. The payment of such fee shall not be duplicative of any such fee under any Other Mezzanine Loan (i.e. such fee is not payable under more than one of the Loan or any Other Mezzanine Loan).

Amendments, modifications, supplements, or waivers granted under, this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be approved by (i) Lender as and to the extent required by (and in such number or percentage as is set forth in) the Co-Lender Agreement (or, if the Loan is not subject to a Co-Lender Agreement, by Lender in its individual capacity) (such consent by Lender, in

Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder (except that, unless there exists an Event of Default, payments of principal shall be applied to components of the Note on a pro-rata basis). To the extent Borrower makes 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. 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 Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

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.

(b) No Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law), any claim against any Lender, Servicer or Collateral Agent on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds of the Loan.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to any Lender, the Servicer or Collateral Agent may be paid from any amounts in the Mezzanine Collection Account or any Reserve Account upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

-173-

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Lender, Servicer and Collateral Agent from and against any and all other actual liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding, however, any punitive and consequential damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for each 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 any Lender in any manner (whether or not arising from a third party claim) relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in any report, certificate, financial statement or other instrument, agreement, document or other material or written information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) the Leases or any of the duties, responsibilities or obligations of Borrower or any Operating Company thereunder, (iv) the transactions contemplated in the Collection Account Agreements, or (v) any third-party claims alleging that the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Operating Lease, the Operating Lease Guaranty, the Management Agreement, the Shared Services Agreement, the IP Licenses or any of the Loan Documents or documents executed in connection with the Loan violates any agreements or Legal Requirements binding on the Borrower or its Affiliates or their respective properties (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower 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 such 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, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any request by Borrower that required Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the terms hereof.

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

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, Borrower’s partners and members and others with interests in Borrower (including each Other Mezzanine Borrower), and of the Properties, the Collateral and the “Collateral” under (and as defined in) each Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of (or other enforcement action with respect to) all or any of the Mortgages or a sale (upon any enforcement) under the Pledge Agreement (or under any pledge under any pledge agreement given under any of the Other Mezzanine Loan Agreements), 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 Properties or 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 Properties or the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of (or any enforcement action with respect to) any or all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Collateral with respect to each Mortgage Borrower or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral with respect to each Mortgage Borrower or any combination of such Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral with respect to one or more Mortgage Borrowers; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than those the fees and other claims of which shall be paid by Borrower).

Each Lender hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.25 Gaming Laws. (a) All rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws.

(b) The Noteholders agree to cooperate with all Gaming Authorities in connection with the provision in a timely manner of such documents or other information as may be requested by such Gaming Authorities relating to the Loan or Loan Documents.

(c) The Noteholders acknowledge and agree that if Borrower receives a notice from any applicable New Jersey Gaming Authority that any Noteholder is a disqualified holder (and such Noteholder is notified by the Borrower in writing of such disqualification), Borrower shall, following any available appeal of such determination by such Gaming Authority (unless the rules of the applicable New Jersey Gaming Authority do not permit such Noteholder to retain its Note pending appeal of such determination) have the right to (i) cause such disqualified holder to transfer and assign, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations in its Note or (ii) in the event that (A) such Borrower is unable to cause such Noteholder to so assign such Note after using its best efforts to cause such an assignment and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepay such disqualified holder’s Note. Notice to such

-177-

disqualified holder shall be given ten (10) days prior to the required date of assignment or prepayment, as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or prepayment is required pursuant to applicable New Jersey Gaming Laws. If reasonably requested by any such disqualified Noteholder, the Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any such Noteholder that is seeking to appeal such determination and to afford such Note holder an opportunity to participate in any proceedings relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any prepayment of a Note shall be at a price that, unless otherwise directed by the applicable New Jersey Gaming Authority, shall be equal to the sum of the principal amount of such Note and interest to the date such Noteholder or holder became a disqualified holder (plus any fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such disqualified Noteholder to the date such Noteholder became a disqualified holder).

(d) If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents it shall become necessary or, in the opinion of the Lender, advisable for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Noteholders to become licensed or qualified or to be found suitable under any Gaming Law as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Noteholders under the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby agrees to promptly execute such documents as may be required in connection with such applications or requests for findings of suitability.

Section 10.26 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, provided that any such advice or consultation shall be completely nonbinding on Borrower, and; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances;

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

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

(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to reasonably approve any acquisition by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of any other significant real property.

Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action pertaining to any Other Borrower or any Other Borrower Collateral to reduce, collect or enforce the Debt from any Other Borrower.

11.2.2 Waivers. Such Borrower Entity agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (a) any loans or advances made by any Noteholder to any Other Borrower, (b) acceptance of the Loan Documents, (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, this Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Documents entered into by any Other Borrower, (d) the execution and delivery by any Other Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of any Other Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Other Borrower Collateral, (e) the occurrence of any breach by any Other Borrower or an Event of Default with respect to any Other Borrower or Other Borrower Collateral, (f) any Noteholder’s transfer or disposition of the Debt, or any part thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any Other Borrower Collateral, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by any Other Borrower and (i) any other action at any time taken or omitted by any Lender, and, generally, all demands and notices to any Other Borrower of every kind in connection with the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Debt.

11.2.3 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates, prior to the payment in full of the Loan and for a period of ninety-one (91) days thereafter any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including any law subrogating such Borrower Entity to the rights of any Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement (other than pursuant to the express provisions of the Contribution Agreement) from any Other Borrower or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Debt for any payment made by such Borrower Entity under or in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise.

(a) Modifications. Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration, restatement or rearrangement entered into by any Other Borrower of all or any part of the Debt, the Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument, contract or understanding between any Other Borrower, any Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the Debt or any failure of Lender to notify Borrower Entity of any such action.

(b) Adjustment. Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Lender to any Other Borrower.

(c) Condition of Borrower or Borrower Entity. The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of any Other Borrower or any other party at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Debt; or any dissolution of any Other Borrower, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or of any Other Borrower, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of any Other Borrower; or any reorganization of any Other Borrower.

(d) Invalidity of Debt. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Debt, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Debt, for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that (i) the Debt, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by law, (ii) the act of creating the Debt or any part thereof is ultra xxxxx, (iii) the officers or representatives executing the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Debt acted in excess of their authority, (iv) the Debt violate applicable usury laws, (v) any Other Borrower has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Debt wholly or partially uncollectible from such Other Borrower, (vi) the creation, performance or repayment of the Debt (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument by any Other Borrower representing part of the Debt or executed in connection with the Debt, or given to secure the repayment of the Debt) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (vii) the Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that such Borrower Entity shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether any Other Borrower or any other Person be found not liable on the Debt or any part thereof for any reason.

-181-

(e) Release of Obligors. Any full or partial release of the liability of any Other Borrower on the Debt, or any part thereof, or of any guarantor(s) thereof, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Debt, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by such Borrower Entity that such Borrower Entity may be required to pay the Debt in full without assistance or support of any other party, and such Borrower Entity has not been induced to enter into the Loan Documents on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other Persons will be liable to pay or perform the Debt, or that Lender will look to other Persons to pay or perform the Debt.

(f) Other Collateral. The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Debt.

The failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of Other Borrower Collateral, all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (i) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Debt or (ii) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon Other Borrower Collateral, or (iii) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Debt.

(i) Unenforceability. The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Debt, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by such Borrower Entity that such Borrower Entity is not entering into the Loan Documents in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Debt.

(j) Offset.

(k) Merger. The reorganization, merger or consolidation of any Other Borrower into or with any other corporation or entity.

(l) Preference. Any payment by Borrower to Lender is held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to Borrower or someone else.

-182-

Section 11.3 Other Actions Taken or Omitted. Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan Documents, the Debt, or Other Borrower Collateral, whether or not such action or omission prejudices such Borrower Entity or increases the likelihood that such Borrower Entity will be required to pay the Debt pursuant to the terms hereof, it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of such Borrower Entity that such Borrower Entity shall be obligated to pay the Debt when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission whatsoever pertaining to any Other Borrower or any Other Borrower Collateral, whether contemplated or not, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Debt.

Section 11.4 No Release or Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Loan Agreement and is not intended to and shall not extinguish any of the indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Notes, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents in such a manner as would constitute a release or novation of the original indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Notes, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall this Agreement affect or impair the priority of any liens created thereby or in connection therewith, it being the intention of the parties hereto to preserve all liens and security interests securing payment of the Notes and the Debt, which liens and security interests are acknowledged by Borrower to be valid and subsisting against the Collateral and any other security or collateral for the Debt.

Section 11.5 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 11.6 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 11.7 Platform; Borrower Materials. Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) any agent designated by Lender (or Servicer) may make available to the Noteholders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Noteholders may be “public-side” Noteholders (i.e., Noteholders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized Lender, the Servicer and its or their agents acting on its or their behalf to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” and (iv) Lender shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”.

In no event shall Lender, Servicer, the agent selected by Lender for purposes of distributing Borrower Materials or maintaining a Platform pursuant to this Section 11.7 or any of its or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, or any of the directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents and advisors (any such Persons, an “Information Recipient”) have any

-183-

liability to the Borrower or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Information Recipient; provided, however, that in no event shall any Information Recipient have any liability to the Borrower, Servicer, Collateral Agent or any Noteholder or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). ANY PLATFORM SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM.

Section 11.8 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, Servicer and Collateral Agent agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Properties, Collateral, Borrower, Guarantor and any Consolidated Entity furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, Guarantor or any Consolidated Entity (other than information that (a) has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Section 11.8, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, Servicer or Collateral Agent without violating this Section 11.8 or (c) was or becomes available to such Lender, Servicer or Collateral Agent from a third party which, to such person’s actual knowledge, had not breached an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower, Guarantor or a Consolidated Entity) and shall not reveal the same other than to its affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents, sub-agents and other Lenders, Mortgage Lenders and Other Mezzanine Lenders (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 11.8 or terms substantially similar to this Section) except: (A) in connection with a Securitization (including Securitizations which are not Assisted Securitizations), information determined in good faith by the applicable Lender or Lenders as necessary or appropriate in order to consummate a successful Securitization (taking into account investor expectations, Rating Agency requirements, applicable laws and regulations and market standards, in each case as determined in good faith by the applicable Lender or Lenders) (it being understood and agreed that in connection with such disclosure under this clause (A), (i) the applicable Lender or Lenders will consult in good faith with the Borrower and will consider in good faith matters raised by the Borrower in such consultation, provided, however, that such Lender or Lenders will have the sole right to make the determinations described in this clause (A) and (ii) such disclosure shall not include financial projections, budgets or other forward-looking financial information of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any Consolidated Entity, unless required by applicable law), (B) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (C) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or self regulatory authorities, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (D) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in any proceeding, including, without limitation, any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings, uniform commercial code sale, strict foreclosure or transfer proceedings and/or any out of court proceedings, (E) to any direct, indirect or prospective Assignee

-184-

(including, without limitation, investors and proposed investors in any Securitization, with respect to information not otherwise disclosed pursuant to clause (A) above) of, or direct, indirect or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement, or any assignee of any Individual Property or Collateral or interest therein post-foreclosure, together with the advisors, attorneys and/or accountants of any such Assignee, Participant or assignee (so long as any such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 11.8 or terms substantially similar to this Section) and (F) to any direct, indirect or prospective contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.8 or terms substantially similar to this Section). This Section 11.8 supersedes the confidentiality provisions present on any Platform previously or hereafter agreed to by the Lenders with respect to the confidentiality obligations of the Lenders and in the event of any conflict with respect to the confidentiality obligations of the Lenders between this Section 11.8 and such confidentiality provisions, this Section 11.8 shall govern.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.8, (i) no individual Lender shall have any liability in respect of a breach of this Section 11.8 by Servicer, Collateral Agent and/or any other individual Lender, it being agreed that each individual Lender shall have liability under this Section 11.8 if and only if, and only to the extent, such individual Lender breaches its obligations under this Section 11.8 and (ii) no Borrower, Borrower Entity or Guarantor shall be entitled to any defense, offset or counterclaim with respect to the enforcement of the rights of the Servicer, Collateral Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents due to any breach of this Section 11.8 by Servicer, Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Person (with the sole remedy for any such breach being an action for damages by Borrower, Borrower Entity or Guarantor, as the case may be, against the specific individual party that breached this Section 11.8, any of which actions shall be subject to Section 10.12(b) of this Agreement).

Borrower hereby agrees that it shall file or shall cause to be filed with the SEC within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Date each of the Loan Agreement, the Note Sales Agreement, the Operating Lease, the Management Agreement, each Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement (such agreements, together with any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto, the “Filed Documents”). It is understood and agreed that the filing of a “form of” the Operating Lease (Casino Component), a “form of” the Operating Lease (Hotel Component) and a “form of” the Management Agreement (as opposed to those with respect to each of the Properties) shall satisfy the foregoing sentence. Without limitation of the obligations of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.11, the Lenders shall provide to the Borrowers on or prior to the execution thereof, a copy of any agreement or instrument that effects any amendment, supplement or modification to the Co-Lender Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date and the parties agree that the Borrower may in its discretion in light of its legal obligations file (or cause to be filed) any such agreement or instrument with the SEC.

-185-

Section 11.9 Amendment and Restatement. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Original Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, and that from and after the date hereof, all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall replace the terms and conditions of the Original Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the execution of this Agreement shall not impair the liens of any of the Loan Documents. The parties agree that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are each dated as of August 31, 2010, but this Agreement and such other Loan Documents are each effective as of September 1, 2010.

NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to approve the performance of the Material Alteration, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

Section 1.1 Guaranty of Obligation. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor.

Section 1.2 Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings ascribed to such terms:

(a) the term “Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean the obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Agreement (i) to timely complete the [Material Alteration to be described] in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Permitted Encumbrances and governmental approvals and free and clear of all Liens; (ii) to pay for all hard costs and for all obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the completion of such [Material Alterations]; and (iii) to pay for all soft costs incurred in connection with the operation, construction, maintenance and management of such [Material Alteration];

(b) the term “Officer’s Certificate” shall mean, with respect to a Guarantor that is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, a certificate delivered to Lender by such Guarantor, which is signed by an authorized senior officer of such Guarantor, by such Guarantor’s managing member or general partner, as applicable, and with respect to a Guarantor that is a natural person, a certificate signed and delivered to Lender by such Guarantor.

Section 1.3. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor. The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Servicer (on behalf of Lender) and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.

Section 1.4. Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.

EXHIBIT A – PAGE 2

Section 1.5. Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Servicer (on behalf of Lender), and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Servicer, on behalf of Lender, at Servicer’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

Section 1.6. No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Servicer (on behalf of Lender) (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Servicer), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (b) enforce Servicer’s and/or Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (c) enforce Servicer’s and/or Lender’s rights against any other guarantor, (d) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Servicer or the Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Servicer (on behalf of Lender) and the Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 1.7. Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of (a) any loans or advances made by any Lender to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Documents, (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower, Collateral Agent, Servicer and/or the Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with any of the Properties, (e) the occurrence of any breach by Borrower or an Event of Default, (f) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower and (i) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Servicer (on behalf of the Lender) or any Lender or Collateral Agent, and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 1.8. Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Servicer on behalf of the Lender, pay Servicer all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Servicer in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

EXHIBIT A – PAGE 3

Section 1.9. Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

Section 1.10. Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise.

Section 1.11. Borrower. The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Borrower or any interest in Borrower.

IV.

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

Section 4.1. Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation

EXHIBIT A – PAGE 8

or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 4.2. Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Servicer (on behalf of Lender). Should Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender (or Servicer on behalf of the Lender) in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender (or Servicer on behalf of the Lender) on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender (or Servicer on behalf of the Lender) had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 4.3. Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Servicer for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Servicer for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

Section 4.4. Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender (or Servicer or Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders) presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by Guarantor.

EXHIBIT A – PAGE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 5.1. Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender (or Servicer on behalf of the Lender), any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Lender and Servicer hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.

If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.
