Prior to performing any Investigations, the PropCo Buyer must furnish to Seller evidence reasonably acceptable to Seller that all of the Access Parties maintain (i) commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) for bodily or personal injury or death and property damage, (ii) automobile liability insurance with limits of at least One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) for bodily injury and property damage, combined single limit, (iii) workers compensation in statutory amounts and employers liability insurance with a limit of at least One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) and (iv) commercial umbrella insurance in a minimum amount of Fifteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000) per occurrence and Fifteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000) annual aggregate, and contractual liability insurance, in each case, naming Seller and each of its designated Subsidiaries and representatives as an additional insured, including as an additional insured for liability arising out of ongoing and completed operations, and containing a waiver of subrogation in favor of Seller and each of its designated Subsidiaries and representatives. There shall be no endorsement or modification of the commercial general liability insurance limiting the scope of coverage for liability arising from explosion, collapse or underground property damage. The Access Parties agree to maintain such insurance policies in effect during the term of this Agreement.

Each such insurance policy shall be written by a reputable insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Michigan either having a rating of at least “A:VII” by Best’s Rating Guide (or a comparable rating by a successor rating service), or subject to Seller’s prior approval. Prior to commencing any work, the PropCo Buyer and all Access Parties shall furnish Seller with a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance required by this Section 4.07(b) and executed by duly authorized representatives of each insurer. Upon the Seller’s request, the PropCo Buyer agrees to provide Seller with a copy of any final third-party reports obtained in connection with its Investigations, such reports to be delivered without representation, warranty or recourse.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any Investigations are requested to occur within a gaming area of the Company Real Property: (x) any Access Party accessing such gaming area must be occupationally licensed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board prior to such access, or (y) Seller shall have secured a waiver to such occupational license requirement from the Michigan Gaming Control Board prior to any such access.

18
Section 7.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the Parties. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts – provided that, solely to the extent necessary to enforce obligations hereunder related to the transfer of real property as determined by the Chosen Courts, the PropCo Buyer may pursue an action or proceeding in the state courts of the State of Michigan and the federal courts of the United States of America located in Xxxxx County, Michigan – without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity subject to Section 8.03 of the Transaction Agreement. Each Party agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance and further agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach, subject to the provisions of Section 9.11 of the Transaction Agreement . Each Party further agrees that no other Party nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 7.11, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if, for any reason, the OpCo Buyer shall fail to consummate the Membership Interest Sale, then (x) the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.11 shall be void and of no force or effect, and (y) Seller shall not be entitled to specific performance or any other equitable relief or remedy as against PropCo Buyer, and Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Transaction Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event that the Buyers pay the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Transaction Agreement, the Termination Fee shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for the Buyers’ failure to consummate the Membership Interest Sale and/or the RE Closing.
Section 7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Section 7.13 Payments and Revenues. If, after the Closing, any Party shall receive any payment, revenue or other amount that belongs to another Party pursuant to this Agreement, such receiving Party shall promptly remit or cause to be remitted such amount to the Party entitled to such amount.
Section 7.14 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any certificates or other documents delivered prior to or as of the Closing shall survive the Closing as and to the extent set forth in the Transaction Agreement. Notwithstanding
19
the foregoing, the covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.
Section 7.15 PropCo Buyer’s Reliance on its Investigations and Release The provisions of this Section 7.15 shall survive the RE Closing indefinitely and shall not be deemed merged into any of the Closing documents.
(a) PROPCO BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES, BY CONSUMMATING THE RE CLOSING, IT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT AND INVESTIGATE EACH AND EVERY ASPECT OF EACH OF THE COMPANY REAL PROPERTIES, EITHER INDEPENDENTLY OR THROUGH AGENTS OF PROPCO BUYER’S CHOOSING.
