ARTICLE II
Credit Facility
Section 2.1 Loans.
(a) Generally.
(i) Loans to the Borrowers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
including without limitation, Section 2.11., during the period from the Effective
Date to but excluding the Termination Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to
make Loans to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up
to, but not exceeding, the lesser of (x) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and (y) such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base.
(ii) Revolving Nature of Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date,
the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Loans hereunder.
(b) Requesting Loans. The MG Borrower shall give the Agent notice pursuant to a
Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing
shall be delivered to the Agent before 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans,
on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing and (ii) in the
case of Base Rate Loans, on the date one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing.
Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of
Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the MG Borrower pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing sent to the Agent by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice.
The Agent will provide notice of the Notice of Borrowing (or the information contained in such
Notice of Borrowing) to each Lender promptly upon receipt by the Agent. Each Notice of Borrowing
or telephonic notice of each borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the
Borrowers.

(c) Disbursements of Loan Proceeds. No later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in
the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available for the account of its applicable Lending
Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the
Loan to be made by such Lender. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to
the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the
Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make the
proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent on the date of the requested borrowing as set forth in
the Notice of Borrowing and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrowers the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender.
Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such
borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrowers no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the date and at the account specified by the MG Borrower in such Notice of
Borrowing.
Section 2.2 Letters of Credit.
(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including without limitation Section 2.11, the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Lenders,
agrees to issue for the account of the Borrowers during the period from and including the Effective
Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date one or more letters of
credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount.
(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and
conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject
to approval by the Issuing Bank and the MG Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
may the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (i) the date one year
from its date of issuance or (ii) the date that is 5 days prior to the Termination Date;
provided, however, a Letter of Credit may (i) contain a provision providing for the
automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the
Issuing Bank and (ii) contain an expiration date beyond the Termination Event provided that at the
time of issuance or extension of such Letter of Credit, the MG Borrower shall have posted with the
Issuing Bank Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing
Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit.
(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The MG Borrower shall give the Agent
written notice of a letter of credit request in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto at
least five Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice
to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the
transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event
shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Stated Amount, (ii)
beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. Provided the MG Borrower has given the notice prescribed by
the first sentence of this subsection and subject to the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article VI. and delivery to the Issuing Bank of all items required to be delivered in
connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested
Letter of Credit on the requested date
29
of
issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance
would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any
Applicable Law. In addition, the Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any
Letter of Credit if any Lender is then in default of its obligations to fund under Section
2.2.(e) or Section 2.2.(j) or is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank
shall no longer have Fronting Exposure as a result of the operation of Sections 3.12. and
11.5., as applicable. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to
Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of
Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the MG Borrower, the
Issuing Bank shall deliver to the MG Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within a
reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit
Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall
control.
(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank from the beneficiary
of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the MG Borrower of the amount to be paid by the Issuing Bank as a result of such
demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in
respect of such demand; provided, however, the Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or
delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrowers in any respect from the applicable
Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agree to pay and
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit on
or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary
thereunder or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) below, without presentment,
demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (other than notice as provided in this
subsection). Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement
Obligation, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation
therein under the second sentence of Section 2.2.(i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of
such payment.
(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the
immediately preceding subsection (d), the MG Borrower shall advise the Issuing Bank whether or not
the Borrowers intend to borrow hereunder to finance their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the MG Borrower shall submit a
timely request for such borrowing of Loans as provided in the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. If the MG Borrower fails to so advise the Issuing Bank, or if the
Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit
by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI.
would permit the making of Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of
Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Issuing Bank shall give
each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Loan to be made available to the Issuing Bank not
later than the applicable time specified in Section 2.2.(j) and (ii) if such conditions
would not permit the making of Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply.
The limitations of Section 3.6.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans
under this subsection.
30
(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank
of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the
Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an
amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the
Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then
outstanding.
(g) Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of
Reimbursement Obligations. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any
documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and
that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of
Credit. The MG Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters
of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, neither the Issuing Bank nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible
for, and the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit shall not be affected in
any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any
drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of
Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit;
(iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by
mail, cable, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds
thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing under any
Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing
Bank or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the
Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken
by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank or any
Lender any liability to the Borrowers or any Lender. In this regard, the obligation of the
Borrowers to reimburse
31
the
Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay a Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.2.(e),
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances
whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provision therein; (B) any amendment
or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the
existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time
against the Issuing Bank, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of
Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the
Borrowers, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue
or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G)
payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any
other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrowers’
Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or
Section 13.2., but not in limitation of the Borrowers’ unconditional obligation to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section and to repay a Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding
subsection (e), the Borrowers shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing Bank or any Lender
in respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of
Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the
Borrowers may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank
or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.
(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or
other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under
this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the
request therefor be made through the Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other
modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby
would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended,
supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required by
Section 13.6.) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment,
supplement or other modification, the Borrowers shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under the last
sentence of Section 3.7.(b).
(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the
Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the
liability of the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit, and each Lender thereby
shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as
surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due,
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit.
In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Issuing Bank in respect of any
Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall,
automatically and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or such Lender,
acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation
owing to the Issuing Bank by the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a
participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other
amounts payable by the Borrowers in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees
payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to the third and last sentences of Section 3.7.(b)).
32
(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Issuing
Bank on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of each drawing paid by the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such
amount is not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.2.(d); provided,
however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that
any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second
sentence of Section 2.2.(e) is received by a Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., then such
Lender shall make such payment available to the Issuing Bank not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Issuing Bank not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments
to the Issuing Bank under this subsection, and the Issuing Bank’s right to receive the same, shall
be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance
whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment
under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the MG Borrower or any other Loan Party,
(iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in
Section 11.1.(h) or 11.1.(i) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such
payment to the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction
whatsoever.
(k) Information to Lenders. Promptly after issuance, amendment or payment of a Letter
of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify each Lender in writing of such issuance or amendment or
payment and, if so requested by any Lender, the Issuing Bank shall furnish such Lender with a copy
of the issued Letter of Credit or such amendment. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the
Issuing Bank shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters
regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Issuing Bank to perform its
requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under
Section 2.2.(j).
Section 2.3 Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.
(a) Rates. (i) The MG Borrower and the Florida Borrower, jointly and severally,
promise to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount
of each Loan made by such Lender, for the period from and including the date of the making of such
Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:
(A) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in
effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin; and
(B) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan
for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin.
33
Notwithstanding the foregoing, automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 11.1.(a), (b), (h), (i) or
(j) and at the request of the Requisite Lenders upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, the MG Borrower and the Florida Borrower each shall pay
to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is
3% in excess of the rate then borne on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such
Lender to or for the benefit of the MG Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as the case may be, on all
Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the MG Borrower or the Florida
Borrower, as applicable, hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of
such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted
under Applicable Law), which interest shall be payable from time to time on demand.
(b) Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable
(i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month,
(ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, and
(iii) in the case of any Loan, in arrears upon the payment, prepayment or Continuation thereof or
the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid,
prepaid, Continued or Converted). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from
time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein
or any change therein, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is
payable and to the MG Borrower. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
Section 2.4 Number of Interest Periods. There may be no more than 8 different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at the
same time.
Section 2.5 Repayment of Loans. On the Termination Date, the MG Borrower and the Florida Borrower, jointly and severally,
agree to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on,
the Loans.
Section 2.6 Prepayments.
(a) Optional. Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrowers may prepay any Loan
owing by it at any time without premium or penalty. The MG Borrower shall give the Agent at least
one Business Day’s prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan.
(b) Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding
Loans plus the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of
(A) the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect at such time or (B) the Borrowing Base at
such time, then (subject to Section 4.1.) the Borrowers shall within five Business Days
prepay Loans and (after all Loans have been prepaid) Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit
Liabilities in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(c) Application of Prepayments. All payments under the immediately preceding
subsection (b) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any
Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of
Credit are outstanding at such time the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Collateral
Account for application to future Reimbursement Obligations. If as a result of this Section any
outstanding LIBOR Loan is prepaid prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the
Borrowers shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.
34
Section 2.7 Continuation. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the MG Borrower may on any Business
Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a
LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period
selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest
Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the MG Borrower giving to the
Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the
date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the MG Borrower of a Continuation shall be by
telephone or telecopy, confirmed promptly in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of
Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and
portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period,
all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on
Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on
the Borrowers once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall
notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed
Continuation. If the MG Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for
any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, or if a Default or Event of Default shall exist,
such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into
a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.8. or the MG Borrower’s
failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.
Section 2.8 Conversion. The MG Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the MG Borrower’s giving of a Notice of
Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another
Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a LIBOR Loan if a
Default or Event of Default shall exist. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan
shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon
Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrowers shall pay accrued interest to the
date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be
given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion
into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion
into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each
Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion. Subject to
the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed
promptly in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested
date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan
to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion
is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of
Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given.
Section 2.9 Notes.
(a) Note. The Loans made by each Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall,
in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrowers
substantially in the form of Exhibit F, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in
a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly
completed. Each promissory note described in this subsection is referred to as a “Note.”
35
(b) Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods
(if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender, and each payment made on account of the principal
thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the
Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender
to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers under any of the Loan
Documents.
(c) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the MG Borrower of
(i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of
indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, or (B) in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers shall at its own expense
cause to be executed and delivered to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Note.
Section 2.10 Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment. The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of
the Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate
amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities) at any time and from time to time without penalty or
premium upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent of each such
termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of
any such reduction and shall (other than in connection with a termination of all Commitments
relating to the anticipated closing of a refinancing or other transaction, the proceeds of which
are to be applied to repay amounts owing hereunder) be irrevocable once given and effective only
upon receipt by the Agent; provided, however, the Borrowers shall compensate the
Lenders (in accordance with Section 5.4.) for any losses attributable to a permitted
revocation of such notice; and provided, further, if the Borrowers seek to reduce
the aggregate amount of all Commitments below $25,000,000, then the Commitments shall all
automatically and permanently be reduced to zero. The Agent will promptly transmit such notice to
each Lender. The Commitments, once terminated or reduced, may not be increased or reinstated
(other than pursuant to Section 2.12.).
Section 2.11 Amount Limitations. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender
shall be required to make a Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue a Letter of
Credit and no reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10. shall take effect, if
immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction
in the Commitments, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the
aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate
amount of the Commitments at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time.
36
Section 2.12 Incremental Commitments. (a) The MG Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Agent
as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.12., but without requiring the
consent of the Agent or the Lenders (except, in either case, as otherwise provided in this
Section 2.12.), to request at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date and
prior to the day immediately preceding the second anniversary of the Effective Date that one or
more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Assignees and which will become
Lenders) provide Incremental Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement and the relevant Incremental Commitment Agreement, make Loans and
participate in Letters of Credit pursuant thereto; provided that (i) no Lender shall be
obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has
agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to
the Agent and the Borrowers an Incremental Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this
Section 2.12., such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Loans in excess of its
Commitment (if any) or participate in any Letters of Credit, in each case, as in effect prior to
giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.12.;
provided, that the Lenders shall have at least 10 Business Days following the MG Borrower’s
request for Incremental Commitments to decide whether or not to provide any such Incremental
Commitments (and, to the extent that any Lender fails to respond within such 10 Business Day
period, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected to provide an Incremental Commitment),
(ii) any Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Assignee who will become a Lender) may
so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of the Agent or any other Lender;
provided that (x) any Person that is not a Lender prior to the effectiveness of its
Incremental Commitment shall require the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12.,
(iii) the aggregate amount of each request (and provision therefor) for Incremental Commitments
shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Commitment
pursuant to a given Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.12.
(including Persons who are Eligible Assignees and will become Lenders) of at least $5,000,000 (or
such lesser amount that is acceptable to the Agent), (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental
Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.12. shall not exceed in the
aggregate $10,000,000, (v) the MG Borrower shall not increase the Commitment pursuant to this
Section 2.12. more than two times, (vi) the Applicable Margins, Termination Date and all
other terms of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to an Incremental Commitment shall the same in all
respects as those applicable to any other Loans, (vii) all Loans incurred pursuant to an
Incremental Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be
Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents and shall be secured by
the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranty, on a pari passu basis will all
other Loans (and related Obligations) secured by each relevant Security Document and guaranteed
under the Guaranty, and (viii) each Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Assignee who
will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to an Incremental
Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in
this Agreement, participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.2(j) and make
Loans as provided in Section 2.1 and such Loans shall constitute Loans for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents.
37
(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.12., (I) the Borrowers, each Guarantor and the Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible
Assignee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”)
shall execute and deliver to the MG Borrower and the Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement,
appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment provided therein to
occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, which date in any event
shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all fees required to be paid in connection
therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (ii) all Incremental Commitment
Requirements have been satisfied, (iii) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.12.
shall have been satisfied and (iv) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such
Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied) and (II) the Borrowers, each
Guarantor, the Agent and each Incremental Lender (as and if applicable) shall execute and deliver
to the Agent such additional Security Documents and/or amendments to the Security Documents which
are necessary to ensure that all Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments are
secured by each relevant Security Document (the “Incremental Security Documents”). The
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment
Agreement and, at such time, Schedule 2.1 shall be deemed modified to reflect the
Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders.
(c) It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Commitments provided by an Incremental
Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Commitment
Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Commitments and each Incremental Lender
shall constitute a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.
(d) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.12., the Borrowers shall, in coordination with and if requested by the Agent, repay
outstanding Loans of certain of the Lenders (notwithstanding the provisions of Section
3.2.), and incur additional Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Incremental
Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each
outstanding borrowing of Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective
Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.12.) and with the Borrowers being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of
the type referred to in Section 5.4 in connection with any such repayment and/or
borrowing.
ARTICLE III
Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions
Section 3.1 Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and
other amounts to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the
Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall
become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made
on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.4., the MG Borrower may, at
the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts
payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received
by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid promptly to
such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. If the Agent fails to pay such amount
to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until
paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due
date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day
which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and
interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.
38
Section 3.2 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under
Section 2.1.(a) and 2.2.(e) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the
Fees under Section 3.7.(a) and the first sentence of Section 3.7.(b) shall be made
for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments
under Section 2.10. shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of
principal of
Loans by the Borrowers shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them and owing by the Borrowers,
provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any
Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such
payment shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable,
in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance
with their respective Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Loans by the Borrowers shall be
made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such
Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation
of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.5.) shall
be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the
case of making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of
Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type
shall be coterminous; and (e) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of,
Letters of Credit under Section 2.2., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments.
Section 3.3 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan, or shall
obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the MG Borrower or any other Loan Party through the
exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or
through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by a Loan Party to a
Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to
the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as
applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if
and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other
Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share
the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in
obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or
Section 11.4., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate
adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each of the Borrowers agrees that any Lender so
purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed by such
Borrower to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or
similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder
of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the
Borrowers, and the provisions of this Section 3.3. shall not be construed to apply to any
cash collateral or other credit support provided to the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 11.5. or Section 3.12.
39
Section 3.4 Lockbox Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (x) an Event of Default (provided, that in
the case of an Event of Default due to a failure to comply with Section 10.11 hereof, such
Event of Default shall cease to continue for purposes of this Section 3.4 if, after the
occurrence of such Event of Default, the Loan Parties are in compliance with Section 10.11
for two consecutive fiscal quarters and no other Events of Default have occurred) or (y) any event
set forth in Section 2.6(b) (each of (x) or (y), a “Trigger Event”), all cash
produced by, and all other cash proceeds (including, without limitation, cash proceeds produced
from the operation) of, the Florida Property received by Holdings, the MG Borrower, any
Subsidiaries, the Management Company or any agent or successor of any of the foregoing
(collectively, “Receipts”) shall be managed as provided in this Section 3.4.;
provided, that fee and reimbursement payments under the Delano Management Agreement
received by the Management Company shall not be deemed to be Receipts for purposes of this
Section 3.4.
(a) From and after the Effective Date, a non-interest bearing deposit account shall be
maintained with the Agent by the Florida Borrower at the Florida Borrower’s expense (the
“Lockbox Account”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event,
each of Holdings and the MG Borrower shall, and shall cause the Florida Borrower and each other
Subsidiary, the Management Company and any agent or successor of any of the foregoing to, ensure
that all Receipts are either (x) paid directly into the Lockbox Account or (y) within one (1)
Business Day after receipt by Holdings, the MG Borrower, the Florida Borrower and each other
Subsidiary, the Management Company or any other manager or agent of any of the foregoing, deposited
into the Lockbox Account, in each case in accordance with procedures and arrangements acceptable to
the Agent and subject only to such changes as may be approved in advance by the Agent.
(b) Each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any
Subsidiary, the Management Company or any other manager or agent of any of the foregoing shall have
any right to object to or seek to delay or to cause any application of any Receipts deposited
and/or paid into the Lockbox Account or any transfer of funds in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 3.4.
(c) Each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges that the Lockbox Account will be subject
to the control of the Agent and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Event,
the funds in the Lockbox Account shall only be used (x) to pay expenses in any Lockbox Budget
approved by the Agent and debt service and other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, in each case to the extent not already funded by the Loan Parties and/or (y) at the
Agent’s discretion, with the Requisite Lenders’ consent, to prepay the Loans and/or cash
collateralize the Letters of Credit.
40
(d) At all times after the termination of a Trigger Event or at any time when no Trigger Event
exists, the Agent shall cause all of the available balance in the Lockbox Account to be released to
the Florida Borrower, such release to be made as promptly as practicable to such deposit account as
the Florida Borrower may designate. Funds are not available if, in the determination of the Agent,
they are subject to a hold, dispute or legal process preventing their withdrawal, are not
“collected funds” or, if funds are made available by the Agent in its sole discretion prior to such
funds being “collected funds”, are subject to a reserve established by the Agent for settlement of
funds and returned items. Each of Holdings and the
Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the Agent may debit the Lockbox Account for any
entries, whether credit or debit, that are subsequently returned for any reason. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything else in this Section 3.4. to the contrary, the Agent shall be
permitted to comply with any writ, levy order or other similar judicial or regulatory order or
process concerning the Lockbox Account or any check or other payment instruction and shall not be
in violation of this Section 3.4. for so doing.
(e) To the extent that any Receipts are not sent directly to the Lockbox Account but are
received by Holdings, the MG Borrower or any Subsidiary after a Trigger Event, such Receipts shall
be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and remitted as promptly as practicable (and in any
event, no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) in the form received, to the
Lockbox Account. Each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that its compliance
with the terms of this Section 3.4. is essential.
(f) Each of Holdings and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints and makes each of the
officers of the Agent the true and lawful attorney for each of Holdings and the Borrowers (without
requiring any of them to act as such) with full power of substitution to endorse the name of
Holdings or the Borrowers upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for
the payment of money that are payable to Holdings or the Borrowers. In addition, if Holdings or
the Borrowers breaches its obligation hereunder to direct Receipts to the Lockbox Account, the
Agent, as the true and lawful attorney for Holdings or the Borrowers, may, by the signature or
other act of any of the Agent’s officers (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any
account debtor or other applicable Person to make payments of or with respect to Receipts to the
Lockbox Account.
Section 3.5 Several Obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to
perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the
failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by
it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform
any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
Section 3.6 Minimum Amounts.
(a) Borrowings and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided in Section
2.2.(e), each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing, Conversion and
Continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.
41

amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate
principal amount of Loans then outstanding).
(c) Reductions of Commitments. Each reduction of the Commitments under Section
2.10. shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(d) Letters of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at
least $25,000.
Section 3.7 Fees.
(a) Unused Fee. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused
facility fee with respect to the daily difference between the (i) aggregate amount of the
Commitments and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans plus the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities (the “Unused Amount”). Such fee shall be
computed by multiplying the Unused Amount with respect to the applicable day by one-half of
one-percent (0.50%). Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September or December of each calendar year and shall be nonrefundable. Any such accrued and
unpaid fee shall also be payable on the Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the
Commitments or reduction of the Commitments to zero.
(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the account of
each Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR
Loans (or automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
pursuant to Sections 11.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) and at
the request of the Requisite Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other
Event of Default, at a per annum rate equal to 3.0% in excess of the Applicable Margin for LIBOR
Loans) times the daily Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) through and including the date such Letter of Credit
expires or is terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full
and is not subject to reinstatement, as the case may be. The fees provided for in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on (i) the last day of March,
June, September and December in each year, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) the date the
Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) following the occurrence of the events
described in clauses (ii) and (iii), from time to time on demand of the Agent. In addition, the
Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account and not the account of any Lender, an
issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (i) $1,500 or (ii)
one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit payable
(A) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through and
including the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (B) if the expiration date of any Letter
of Credit is extended (whether as a result of the operation of an automatic extension clause or
otherwise), for the period from but excluding the previous expiration date to and including the
extended expiration date. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
nonrefundable and payable in arrears (i) on the last day of March, June, September and December in
each year, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) the date the Commitments are terminated and (iv)
thereafter from time to time on demand of the Issuing Bank. The Borrowers shall pay directly to
the Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the
amounts customarily charged by the Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with
respect to
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating
thereto.
42
(c) Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the administrative and
other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing by the Borrowers and the Agent from time to
time.
Section 3.8 Computations. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or
any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the
actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, interest on Base Rate Loans shall
be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days
elapsed.
Section 3.9 Usury. In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations
exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by
any Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal, unless the Borrowers shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrowers
elect to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties
hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any
manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under
Applicable Law.
Section 3.10 Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the
Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest
specifically described in Sections 2.3.(a)(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing
fees, letter of credit fees, unused fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding
or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and
expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or
any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting
or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or
incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no
circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the
use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
Section 3.11 Statements of Account. The Agent will account to the Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, Letters of
Credit, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive and binding
on the Lenders and the Borrowers absent manifest error. The
failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge
the Borrowers from any of their respective obligations hereunder.
43
Section 3.12 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in
the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.6.
(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or
mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by the Agent from
a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may
be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Letter
of Credit Liabilities with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section
11.5; third, as the MG Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists),
to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fourth, if so determined
by the Agent and the MG Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans
under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Letter of Credit
Liabilities with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued
under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 11.5; fifth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders or the Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender or the Agent against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to
such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or
Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a
time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all
Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of,
or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and
funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Lenders pro rata
in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 3.12.(e). Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to
pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 3.12.(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and
each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
44
(c) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant
to Section 3.7(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the
Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have
been paid to that Defaulting Lender). Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees
pursuant to Section 3.7(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit
for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 11.5.
(d) With respect to any fee pursuant to Section 3.7 not required to be paid to any
Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting
Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities that has been reallocated to
such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) below, (y) pay to Issuing Bank the amount of any
such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to Agent’s Fronting
Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such
fee.
(e) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of
such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among
the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated
without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and,
unless the MG Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y)
such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities
of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation
hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim
of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following
such reallocation.
(f) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (e) above cannot, or can
only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy
available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Agent’s Fronting Exposure in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.5.
(g) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the MG Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as
of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein
(which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the
extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with
the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 3.12(e)),
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
45
(h) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing
Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is
satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 3.13 Taxes.
(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by or on behalf of the Borrowers of principal of,
and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts,
charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing
authority (but excluding (i) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s net income or branch
profits in each case by the United States or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable Lending Office
of such Lender is located, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) with respect to the Agent
or a Lender that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or such Lender and the
jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the
activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or as a result of having received a payment under, received or perfected a security
interest under or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan Document), and (iii) any withholding
taxes imposed as a result of the failure of the Agent or a Lender, as applicable, to provide (to
the extent able) the forms or certificates required to be provided under Section 3.13.(c)
and (iv) taxes arising under FATCA such excluded taxes being collectively called “Excluded
Taxes” and such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any
withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by or on behalf of a Borrower hereunder is
required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then such Borrower or Guarantor,
as applicable, will:
(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be
so withheld or deducted;
(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation
satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and
(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or
such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.
(b) Tax Indemnification. If any Borrower or Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes when due
to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the
account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, such Borrower or Guarantor shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any
incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a
result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or
any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrowers.
46
(c) Tax Forms. Each Foreign Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent
on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of (x) a Lender that is an Assignee of an
interest under this Agreement (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder
immediately prior to such assignment) or (y) an Eligible Assignee that becomes a Lender, on the
date of such assignment or on the date such Eligible Assignee becomes a Lender hereunder, as the
case may be, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income
tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a
complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made by the
Borrowers under this Agreement and under any Note or (ii) if the Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either
IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or
successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate representing that such Lender is
not a “bank” within the meaning of 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Non-Bank
Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (with
respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s
entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from US withholding tax with respect to
payments of interest to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and under any Note or (iii)
in the case of a Lender that is a flow-through entity for US federal income tax purposes, two
accurate and complete signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments) establishing
a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments made to the Lender
under this Agreement or under any Note. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall, in the case of any
payment made after December 31, 2012 in respect of any Loan, Letters of Credit, Note or obligation
that was not treated as outstanding for purposes of FATCA on March 18, 2012, provide any forms,
documentation, or other information as shall be prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service to
demonstrate that the relevant Foreign Lender has complied with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA so that such payments made to such Foreign Lender hereunder would not be
subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FACTA. Each Lender that is a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, agrees to deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent on or prior to the
date it becomes a party to this Agreement, two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS
Form W-9 certifying to such Person’s entitlement to exemption from United States federal backup
withholding, unless such Lender demonstrates that it is treated as an exempt recipient under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii). In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to
time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous
forms or certifications obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to
the Borrowers and the Agent two new accurate and complete original signed
47
copies
of IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form
W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Non-Bank Certificate or Form W-8IMY
(with respect to a flow-through entity) or Form W-9 (with respect to backup withholding), as the
case may be, and any successor forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the
entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding
tax or backup withholding with respect to payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and under
any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Borrowers and the Agent of its inability to deliver
any such form or certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such
form or certificate pursuant to this Section 3.13.(c). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 3.13.(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence,
(x) the Borrowers shall be entitled, to the extent they are required to do so by law, to deduct or
withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the
account of any Lender that is lending to the Borrowers to the extent that such Lender has not
provided to the Borrowers, the IRS Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or
withholding and (y) the Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 3.13.(a) to
gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the
United States if such Lender has not provided to the Borrowers the IRS Forms required to be
provided to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.13.(c) (except, in the case of an
Eligible Assignee or Assignee, to the extent the Borrowers were required to gross-up payments to
the relevant assignor). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding
sentence, the Borrowers agree to pay any additional amounts or indemnify (in the case of a payment
made by a Lender) each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 3.13.(a) and (b)
(without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in
respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by the Borrowers (or paid by a Lender) as described in
the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the
Effective Date in any Applicable Law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or
in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes.
If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold,
as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender,
such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and
expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel
and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the
Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the
Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
(d) Refunds. If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section
(including additional amounts paid by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the
applicable indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable indemnifying party, upon the
request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees promptly to repay the
amount paid over pursuant to this Section (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent
or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the Agent or Lender be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would
place the Agent or Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Agent or Lender would
have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or Lender to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be
required to pay any amounts pursuant to this paragraph (d) at any time that an Event of Default
exists, provided that such amounts shall become due and payable at the time such Event of Default
ceases to exist and no other Event of Default exists.
48
Section 3.14 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.1., (ii) the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the Agent or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender or the Agent pursuant to Section 3.13.(a) (provided that this
clause (ii) shall not be applicable if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to
the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 3.13.(a)), (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting
Lender, (iv) any Lender shall have given notice under Section 5.1.(b) or Section
5.3. of its inability to make or maintain as such any LIBOR Loan (provided that this clause
(iv) shall not be applicable if the Requisite Lenders have given such notice) or (v) any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender (any such Defaulting Lender and any Lender referred to in (i) through
(iv) above being herein referred to as an “Affected Lender”), then the MG Borrower may, by
giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Affected Lender and the other Lenders, demand that
such Affected Lender assign its Commitment and all of its other interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b), in consideration of the applicable
payments provided for in subsection (b) below, and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall
promptly, assign its Commitment and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Eligible Assignee. Upon any such assignment, the
Affected Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect
thereof or under the Loan Documents to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the
effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender
shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest
to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
and shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee as provided in Section 13.5.(b)(iv).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstance entitling
the MG Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.1. or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 3.13.(a) it shall be a condition to such assignment that
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
(b) In the case of an Affected Lender, the sum required to be paid upon assignment of its
Commitment shall be (i) the purchase price equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon and all accrued fees owing to such Affected Lender, all of which shall be paid by
the Assignee, and (ii) all other amounts payable by the Borrowers to such Affected Lender hereunder
(including amounts, if any, payable under Section 3.13.(a) or Section 5.1), all of
which shall be paid by the Borrowers.
49
ARTICLE IV
Florida Property
Section 4.1 Frequency of Calculations of Borrowing Base. Initially, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base
Certificate delivered under Section 6.1. Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the
amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered from time to time under this
Section 4.1, Section 4.2.(b) or 9.3.(b). Any change in the Borrowing Base
Value of the Florida Property shall become effective as of the date the next Borrowing Base
Certificate is delivered, provided that the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate
substantiates such change. Any change in the Borrowing Base Value of the Florida Property
determined pursuant to an Appraisal described in Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. shall
be effective immediately upon Agent’s delivery of notice to the MG Borrower that the Agent has
accepted the applicable Appraisal, and shall be reflected in a Borrowing Base Certificate
reflecting such new Borrowing Base Value, which certificate shall be delivered by the MG Borrower
to the Agent within five Business Days of the MG Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any decrease in the Borrowing Base Value of the
Florida Property resulting from an Appraisal would require the Borrowers to prepay any Loan or cash
collateralize any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.6(b), such prepayment or cash
collateral shall be due within five Business Days after the date that the Agent has delivered to
the MG Borrower notice that the Agent has accepted such Appraisal; provided further,
however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall delay the effectiveness of such decrease in
the Borrowing Base Value of the Florida Property for the purposes of determining whether any
condition is met for the making of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit.
Section 4.2 Frequency of Appraisals. The Appraised Value of the Florida Property shall be determined or redetermined, as
applicable, under each of the following circumstances:
(a) The Agent will obtain a new Appraisal for the Florida Property in the second fiscal
quarter of 2012, and such Appraisal shall be at the sole cost of the Borrowers;
(b) The Agent may also obtain a new Appraisal of the Florida Property once during every
twelve (12) months following the date of the Appraisal described in subsection (a) above, or
at any time and more frequently if a Default or an Event of Default exists. Any such
Appraisal will be at the sole cost of the Borrowers. The Agent
will also be allowed to obtain a new Appraisal of the Florida Property at any other
time that the Agent has a reasonable basis to believe that the value of the Florida Property
has changed (but in no event more than once every 6 months), in its discretion or at the
request of the Requisite Lenders; provided, that any such Appraisal will be at the
sole cost of the Lenders. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined as a result of delivery
of any new Appraisal performed under this Section 4.2. or under Section 4.3.
below, in each case to the extent such Appraisal is accepted by the Agent pursuant to
Section 4.1.; and within five Business Days after MG Borrower’s receipt of notice
from the Agent that the Agent has accepted such Appraisal, the MG Borrower shall deliver to
the Agent, a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the Borrowing Base after giving effect to
the new Appraised Value of any applicable Properties.
50
(c) Following any Major Casualty or any “Major Taking” under and as defined in
any Security Deed, and such Appraisal shall be at the sole cost of the Borrowers; and
(d) Upon the MG Borrower’s written request for a redetermination of the Appraised Value
of the Florida Property, the Agent shall redetermine the Appraised Value of the Florida
Property (based on a new Appraisal of the Florida Property obtained by the Agent), all at
the Borrowers’ expense; provided, that the MG Borrower may request a new Appraisal
of the Florida Property pursuant to this subsection only 2 times.
Section 4.3 Additional Appraisals Required under Applicable Law. If under FIRREA or any other Applicable Law, the Agent or any Lender is required to obtain
an Appraisal of the Florida Property in addition to any other Appraisal previously obtained with
respect to the Florida Property pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the right to cause
such an Appraisal to be prepared at the Borrowers’ cost and expense. The Borrowing Base shall be
redetermined as a result of delivery of any such new Appraisal if Applicable Law requires such
redetermination, in which case the Borrowing Base shall be redetermined in the manner required
under such Applicable Law.
ARTICLE V
Yield Protection, Etc.
Section 5.1 Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.
(a) Additional Costs. The Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account
of each affected Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary
to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable
to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans
hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such
Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions
in amounts receivable being herein called
“Additional Costs”), in each case to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change
that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment (other than
Taxes that are provided for in Section 3.3. and Excluded Taxes); or (ii) imposes or
modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in
the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any Commitment of such
Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below
that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).
51
(b) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions
of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender
either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of
the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or
a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii)
becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it
may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the MG Borrower (with a copy to the Agent),
the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into,
LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in
which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).
(c) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the
obligations of the Borrowers under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without
duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other
requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed,
modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit (other than
Taxes that are provided for in Section 3.3. and Excluded Taxes) and the result shall be to
increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or
maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit
or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any
Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrowers shall pay
promptly, and in any event within 10 days of demand, to the Issuing Bank for its account or the
account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or a
Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such
Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
(d) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to notify the MG Borrower of any event occurring after the
Agreement Date entitling the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of
the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided,
however, the failure of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall
not release the
Borrowers from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent);
provided further, that (i) none of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall
be entitled to claim any additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional
amount under this Section 5.1. if such Person fails to provide such notice to the MG
Borrower within 270 days of the date the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender becomes aware of
the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or
other additional amount and (ii) it shall be a condition precedent to any claim under this
Section 5.1. that the claimant is generally imposing similar claims or charges on its other
similarly situated borrowers. The Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender agrees to furnish to the
MG Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis and amount of each request by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender for
compensation under this Section. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided
that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
52
Section 5.2 Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of
Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:
(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or
(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that
Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or
maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;
then the Agent shall give the MG Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as
such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make
additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrowers
shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either
cause such Loan to be repaid or cause such Loan to be Converted into a Base Rate Loan.
Section 5.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for
such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender
shall promptly notify the MG Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s
obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be
suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the
provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
Section 5.4 Compensation. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of
such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable
opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss (but not lost profits), cost or expense that
such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or
Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without
limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan;
(b) any failure by any Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the
failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be
satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing,
or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested
date of such Conversion or Continuation; or
53
(c) any revocation of a notice of termination of Commitments delivered by the MG
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10.
Upon the MG Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall
provide the MG Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Absent manifest
error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided
that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
Section 5.5 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate
Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3.,
then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last
day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion
required by Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may
specify to the MG Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice
as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that
gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments
and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans
shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans
shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such
Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to the MG Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the
circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of
such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do
promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other
Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on
the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the
extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR
Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in
accordance with their respective Commitments.
Section 5.6 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending
Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in
Section 3.12., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or
avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such
Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no
obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
54
Section 5.7 Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made
as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the
relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to
the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period;
provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner
it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable
under this Article V.

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no requirement under
Applicable Law that the Florida Property be known as or operated under the name “The Delano”

amendment hereto or thereto or any statement contained in any certificate, financial statement or
other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Holdings or the Borrowers or any other Loan Party
prior to the Effective Date and delivered to the Agent or any Lender in connection with the

(m) any Lien purported to be created under any Security Document shall cease to be, or

any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments delivered to it under any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any events that would give rise to an Event of Default under
subsections (h), (i), (j) or (k) of this Section 11.1. will not constitute an Event of
Default with respect to a Subsidiary of the MG Borrower that is not a Loan Party (the
“Defaulting Subsidiary”), if and for so long as (1) the Defaulting Subsidiary is a special
purpose entity that does not own any assets other than a direct or indirect interest in one
Property (the “Subject Property”) and that does not have any Indebtedness or other
liabilities other than those directly related to the ownership and operation of the Subject
Property, (2) the event giving rise to the Event of Default occurs as a result of a default by the
Defaulting Subsidiary under a mortgage loan or mezzanine loan (the “Property Debt”)
financing the Subject Property, (3) the Subject Property is not Collateral for any of the
Obligations, (4) such Property Debt is non-recourse to Holdings, the MG Borrower and any other
Subsidiary (other than the Defaulting Subsidiary), (5) neither Holdings, the MG Borrower nor any
other Subsidiary (other than the Defaulting Subsidiary) has any remaining liability or obligation
with respect to the Property Debt or any other Indebtedness of the Defaulting Subsidiary other than
Customary Nonrecourse Exceptions with respect to the Property Debt, and (6) the Agent has not
determined that there is a reasonable basis for any claim to be asserted, or if a claim has been
asserted, has not determined that there is a reasonable basis for such claim, in either case,
against Holdings, the MG Borrower or any other Subsidiary (other than a claim against the
Defaulting Subsidiary) under any such Customary Nonrecourse Exceptions, under any guaranty or under
any other document related to such Property Debt or any other Indebtedness of the Defaulting
Subsidiary.
90
Section 11.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Acceleration; Termination of Facilities.
(i) Automatic. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
Section 11.1.(h) or 11.1.(i), (A)(i) the principal of, and
all accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time outstanding, (ii) an
amount equal to the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (for deposit into the Collateral
Account pursuant to Section 11.5.) and (iii) all of the other Obligations,
including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived by the Borrowers and (B) all of the Commitments, the obligation of
the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit hereunder, shall all immediately and automatically terminate.
(ii) Optional. If any other Event of Default shall exist, the Agent
shall, at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders: (A) declare (1) the
principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Notes at the time
outstanding, (2) an amount equal to the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such other Event of Default (for
deposit into the
Collateral Account pursuant to Section 11.5.) and (3) all of the other
Obligations, including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Lenders,
the Issuing Bank and the Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other
Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately
become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrowers and (B) terminate the
Commitments, the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the
obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder.
(b) Loan Documents. The Requisite Lenders may direct the Agent to, and the
Agent if so directed shall, exercise any and all of its rights under any and all of the
other Loan Documents.
(c) Applicable Law. The Requisite Lenders may direct the Agent to, and the
Agent if so directed shall, exercise all other rights and remedies it may have under any
Applicable Law.
91
(d) Appointment of Receiver. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the assets and
properties of the MG Borrower and its Subsidiaries, without notice of any kind whatsoever
and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of
any party bound for their payment, to take possession of all or any portion of the business
operations of the MG Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to exercise such power as the court
shall confer upon such receiver.
Section 11.3 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 11.1.(h), the Commitments
shall immediately and automatically terminate.
Section 11.4 Allocation of Proceeds. While an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Agent under any of the Loan
Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts
payable by the Borrowers hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and
priority:
(a) payment of all amounts due the Agent in respect of fees and expenses due under
Section 13.2.;
(b) payment of all amounts due the Lenders in respect of fees and expenses due under
Section 13.2., pro rata in the amount then due each Lender;
(c) payments of interest on all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, to be applied for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders;
(d) payment of all amounts due the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders pursuant to
Sections 12.8. and 13.9.;
(e) payments of principal of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Letter of
Credit Liabilities, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; provided,
however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this
subsection are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of
Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Issuing Bank for deposit into the Collateral
Account;
(f) payment of all other Obligations and other amounts due and owing by the MG Borrower
and the other Loan Parties under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders;
(g) any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the
Borrowers or whoever else may be legally entitled thereto.
Section 11.5 Collateral Account. (a) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day
following the written request of the Agent, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing
Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to
Section 3.12.(e) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount
not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
92
(b) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities and the other Obligations, the MG Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in
all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to
time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for
below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of
any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to
withdrawal only as provided in this Section.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral
provided under Section 11.5.(a) or Section 3.12. in respect of Letters of Credit
(including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such
obligation) shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund
participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities for which the Cash Collateral was so
provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent
in Permitted Investments as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments
and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral
Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment
substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it
being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.
(e) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of
such Letter of Credit, the MG Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies
deposited in the Collateral Account and proceeds thereof to make payment to the beneficiary with
respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.
(f) If an Event of Default exists, the Requisite Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time
and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and
apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.4.
(g) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in
or credited to the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit
Liabilities then due and owing, the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the MG
Borrower, deliver to the MG Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such
request from the MG Borrower, against receipt from the MG Borrower but without any recourse,
warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Collateral Account
as exceeds the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.
93
(h) The MG Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally
charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral
Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof)
provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as
Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 11.5.(a) following (i) the elimination of the
applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the
applicable Lender), or (ii) at any time that there exists excess Cash Collateral as provided
Section 11.5.(g); provided that, subject to Section 3.12. the Person
providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to
support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided,
further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the MG Borrower, such
Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents.
Section 11.6 Performance by Agent. If the Loan Parties shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any
of the Loan Documents, the Agent may, after notice to the Loan Parties, perform or attempt to
perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Loan Parties after the expiration of any
cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Loan Parties shall, at the request of
the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or
attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the
applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility
whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.
Section 11.7 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement
and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective
rights and remedies the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or
delay by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as
a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other
or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
94
ARTICLE XII
The Agent
Section 12.1 Appointment; Nature of Duties. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBTCA as Agent to act as specified
herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder
of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Agent to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and
to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors,
agents, employees or affiliates. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents. Neither the Agent nor
any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith
or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the
Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the
holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or
therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan
Document, the Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such
shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and
agreed that the Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor
of the Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 12.8.
and Section 13.2. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Arranger shall not, solely
by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect
of any Lender or any other Person.
Section 12.2 Lack of Reliance on the Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to
the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection
with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in
connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder
of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not
be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in
connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry
concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
95
Section 12.3 Certain Rights of Agent. If the Agent requests instructions from the Requisite Lenders with respect to any act or
action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agent
shall have received instructions from the Requisite Lenders; and the Agent shall not incur
liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any
Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a
result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lender.
Section 12.4 The Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit,
under this Agreement, the Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a
“Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the
duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Requisite Lenders,” or any
similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Agent in its
respective individual capacities. The Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business
with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory
services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar
business with any
Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any
Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account
for the same to the Lenders.
Section 12.5 Reliance; Delivery of Information. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message,
cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any
Person that the Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters
pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder,
upon advice of counsel selected by the Agent. The Agent shall not be required to deliver to any
Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other
information received by the Agent from any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, the Requisite Lenders, any
Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document
except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as
specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific
document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of
the Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific
request
Section 12.6 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Security Documents for
the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note
by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any
action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
Security Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or
therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized
and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the
Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to
time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security
Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and
liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.
96
(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release
any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the
Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate
indemnification obligations) as provided in Section 13.9., (ii) constituting property being
sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale
or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.5. or (iii) as otherwise may be
expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the
Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.6. Upon the request of the MG Borrower under any of
the circumstances described in the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii), the Agent shall promptly take such
action as the MG Borrower may reasonably request to release such collateral and evidence such
release of record.
(c) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to
assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or
insured or that the Liens granted to the Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any
duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available
to the Agent in this Section 12.6 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood
and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the
Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own
interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability
whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
Section 12.7 Holders. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the
case may be, shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person
who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as
the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
Section 12.8 Indemnification of Agent. To the extent the Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the
Borrowers, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in
proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Requisite Lenders
(determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or
disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by
the Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 12.9 Successor Agent. (a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties
hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice
to the Lenders and the MG Borrower. In addition, if the Person serving as
Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (d) of the definition thereof, the
Requisite Lenders may by notice in writing to the MG Borrower and such Person remove such Person as
Agent, in which case the Agent shall be deemed to have resigned pursuant to this Section
12.9(a). Any such resignation by the Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as
Issuing Bank, in which case the resigning Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further
Letters of Credit and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take
effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as
otherwise provided below.
(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Agent or at the direction of the Requisite
Lenders, as applicable, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent hereunder or and
under the other Loan Documents who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably
acceptable to the MG Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(provided that the MG Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then
exists).
(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 day period, the
Agent, with the consent of the MG Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, provided that the MG Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then
exists), shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided above.
(d) If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 40th
day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Agent, the Agent’s resignation shall
become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Agent
hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided above.
(e) Upon a resignation of the Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9., the Agent shall
remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents)
shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Agent for all of its actions and inactions while
serving as the Agent.
Section 12.10 Titled Agents. Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or
obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of
any of the Loans, or for any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of
“Arranger” and other similar titles are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on
the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrowers or any Lender and the use of such titles
does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other
Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is
entitled.

party transferee of the Collateral in the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or
conveyance of the Collateral in lieu thereof, if such presence or migration does not arise from the
acts or omissions of either Indemnitor or its respective affiliates)). To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender set forth
in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy,
the Borrowers shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the
indemnified liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(b) To the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of Holdings and the Borrowers shall
not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any
Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by
it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified
Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable decision).

while an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Borrowers or to any other Person, any
such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of the Issuing Bank, a
Lender, an affiliate of the Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant subject to receipt of the
prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate
and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at
any time held or owing by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, any such affiliate of the
Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of
any of the Borrowers against and on account of any of the Obligations owing by any of the
Borrowers, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have
been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section
11.2., and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13.5 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and
each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the
immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (f) (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of the Agent and
the Lenders and of their respective affiliates) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under
or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees (an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case
of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no
minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the
aggregate amount of the Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if any of the applicable Commitments is not then in
effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no
Default or Event of Default shall exist, the MG Borrower otherwise consents (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
103
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitments assigned.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the MG Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default shall exist at
the effective date specified in such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a
Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(B) the consent of the Agent and the Issuing Bank (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a
Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a
Commitment, an affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender; and
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Agent an administrative questionnaire in the form customarily required
by the Agent.
(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to Holdings,
the MG Borrower or any of the MG Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to the immediately following
subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4. and
13.2. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided
in Section 13.9. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with the immediately following subsection (d).
104
(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and
a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers,
the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or
Holdings, the MG Borrower or any of the MG Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document
described in Section 13.6.(b)(i), (b)(ii), (b)(iii), (b)(iv) or
(b)(viii) that adversely affects such Participant. Subject to the immediately following
subsection (e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.13., 5.1. and 5.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
13.3. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
3.3. as though it were a Lender. Upon request from the Agent, a Lender shall notify the Agent
and the MG Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 3.13. and 5.1. than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the MG
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.13. unless the MG Borrower is notified
of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers and the Agent, to comply with Section 3.13.(c) as though it were a Lender.
105
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of
the MG Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any
circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any
Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America
or of any other jurisdiction.
Section 13.6 Amendments. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval
required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may
be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the
performance or observance by the MG Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any terms
of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case
of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly
and adversely affected thereby (other than a Defaulting Lender), no amendment, waiver or consent
shall do any of the following:
(i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional
obligations; provided that without the consent of the Issuing Bank no amendment,
waiver or consent shall amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.2 or alter
the Issuing Bank’s rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit;
(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest
that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations
(except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates);
(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder or postpone any date fixed for
payment thereof;
(iv) modify the definition of the term “Termination Date” or otherwise postpone
any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other
Obligations (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the
nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due (except in connection with the waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates));
(v) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.;
106
(vi) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise modify
in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any
determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including
without limitation, any modification of this Section 13.6. if such modification
would have such effect;
(vii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty;
(viii) release any of the Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents (except as
otherwise permitted under Section 12.6.); or
(ix) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 2.11.
(c) If any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed
amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent
of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby and that has been approved by the Requisite
Lenders, the MG Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section
3.14(a).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Loan Modification Offers and
Permitted Amendments (as hereinafter defined) shall be permitted in accordance with this subsection
(d), regardless of the preceding provisions of this Section 13.6. The MG Borrower may make
one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or
more Permitted Amendments (as defined below). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only
with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan
Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”). The Borrowers and each
Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent a loan modification agreement (a “Loan
Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to
evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. In
connection with any Loan Modification Offer, the Borrowers may, at their sole option, terminate or
reduce the Commitments, and/or repay or reduce any Loans, of one or more of the Lenders that are
not Accepting Lenders. Additionally, to the extent the Borrowers have reduced the Commitments
and/or Loans of such Lenders, they may request any other financial institution (with the consent of
the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld) to provide a
commitment to make loans on the terms set forth in such Loan Modification Offer in an amount not to
exceed the amount of the Commitments reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Agent shall
promptly notify each
Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties
hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans
and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and
Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as Loans and/or Commitments, it being understood that all
borrowings and repayments will be made pro rata between all Loans; provided, that to the
extent any Permitted Amendment extends the final maturity of the Commitments of the Accepting
Lenders, the Loans and related Obligations may be repaid on the Termination Date on a non-ratable
basis with the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders. “Permitted Amendments” shall be an extension
of the scheduled maturity of the applicable Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders,
together with any one or more of the following: (i) a change in rate of interest (including a
change to the Applicable Margin and/or a provision establishing a minimum rate), premium, fees or
other amount with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (in
each case effective after the scheduled maturity of the Loans), (ii) additional fees to the
Accepting Lenders and (iii) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Agent, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted
Amendments.
107
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any provision of this Agreement may be
amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Loan Parties, the Requisite Lenders and the
Agent (and, if its rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank) if (A) by the
terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for
therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (B) at the time such amendment
becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of
and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its
account under this Agreement (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2. or any other
similar provision of this Agreement that requires ratable payments to the Lenders).
(f) No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in such
capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the
rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(g) No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any
right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 12.5., no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial
thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such
Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding
any attempted cure or other action by the MG Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person
subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for
herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the MG Borrower shall entitle the
MG Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 13.7 Nonliability of Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent
nor the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrowers or
any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and
no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any
fiduciary duty owing by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, the MG Borrower,
any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. Neither the Agent nor the Issuing Bank or any Lender
undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in
connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ business or operations.
108
Section 13.8 Confidentiality. The Agent and each Lender shall assure that information about Holdings, the MG Borrower,
the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries, and the Properties thereof and their operations,
affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the
Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is
used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged
to any Person other than the Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and
directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and
other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and Holdings or the MG
Borrower, as applicable, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure: (a) to any
of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in
accordance with the terms of this Section 13.8.); (b) as reasonably requested by any
potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated
transfer of any Commitments or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall
agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal
process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d)
to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they
shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) following the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, to any other Person in connection with
the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents; (f) upon the prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of
Holdings or the MG Borrower, as applicable, to any contractual counter-parties to any swap or
similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and (g) to the extent such information (x)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to
such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the MG Borrower or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without
notice to the MG Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with
any regulatory examination of the Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory
compliance policy of the Agent or such Lender.
Section 13.9 Termination; Survival. At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit
have terminated or expired or have been Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans
and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following
sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of
Sections 3.13., 5.1., 5.4., 12.8. and 13.2. and any other
provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section
13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent and the Lenders (i)
notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events
arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases
to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the
date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. The Agent agrees to furnish to the MG
Borrower, upon the MG Borrower’s request and at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, any release,
termination, or other agreement or document evidencing the foregoing termination and the release of
the Liens created under any of the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the MG
Borrower.
109
Section 13.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 13.11 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the Act hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrowers that pursuant to
the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the
Act
Section 13.12 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 13.13 Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties. The obligations of the MG Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by
the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the MG
Borrower may have that the MG Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.
Section 13.14 Limitation of Liability. Neither the Agent nor the Issuing Bank or any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director,
employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any liability
with respect to, and each of Holdings and the Borrowers hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to
xxx any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
suffered or incurred by Holdings or the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way
related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each of Holdings and the
Borrowers hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
or any of the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with,
arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.
Section 13.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire
agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof
and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or
subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements
among the parties hereto.
110
Section 13.16 Construction. Each of the Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers and Holdings acknowledge that it has had
the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers
and Holdings.
Section 13.17 Nature of Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is
understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that:
(a) all Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with
respect to, the Loans, the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations pursuant to this
Agreement and each other Loan Document (including, without limitation, all fees,
indemnities, Taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith) shall constitute the joint
and several obligations of each Borrower;
(b) The obligations of each Borrower with respect to the Obligations are independent of
the obligations of the other Borrower with respect thereto, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not the other Borrower or
any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each
Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by
either Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as
to either Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the
statute of limitations as to the other Borrower.
(c) Each Borrower authorizes the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders without notice
or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and
without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
(i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the other Borrower
or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(ii) release or substitute the other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other
obligors;
(iii) settle or compromise any of the Obligations of any other Loan Party, any
security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment
of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of
any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;
(iv) apply any sums paid by any other Loan Party or any other Person, howsoever
realized, to any liability or liabilities of such other Loan Party or other Person
regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Loan Party or other Person
remain unpaid; and/or
111
(v) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, by any other Loan Party
or any other Person.
(d) It is not necessary for the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to inquire into
the capacity or powers of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the officers, directors,
members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations
made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the
joint and several obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.
(e) No Borrower shall have any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to
the other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and
until all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.
(f) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Lenders to (i) proceed against the other Borrower or any other Person, (ii) proceed against
or exhaust any security held from any Borrower or any other Person or (iii) pursue any other
remedy in the Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower
waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or
any impairment of security held from any Borrower or any other Person or on or arising
out of any defense of the other Borrower or any other Person other than payment in full in
cash of the its Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising
out of the disability of the other Borrower or any other Person, or the unenforceability of
the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full
in cash of the Obligations.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, each
Borrower’s joint and several liability for the Obligations shall be limited to the greater
of (i) the amount for which it is Primarily Liable and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount
(as defined in Section 13.17(h)). “Primarily Liable” for any Borrower, means
liability in amount equal to the proceeds of the Loans which were made available to such
Borrower. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower at any time shall be the maximum
amount that could be recovered from such Borrower at such time under the Loan Documents
without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under
any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common
law.
(h) If any Borrower makes a payment of any Obligations greater than that for which it
is Primarily Liable, it shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification
payments from, and to be reimbursed by, the other Borrower in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the payment in excess of the amount for which it is Primarily Liable and (ii) the
Allocable Amount which after giving effect to any Obligations of such other Borrower would
not result in such contribution claim being a fraudulent transfer.
112
(i) Nothing contained in this Section 13.17 shall limit the liability of any
Borrower under the Loan Documents to pay the Loan and all accrued interest, fees, expenses
and other Obligations related thereto, for which such Borrower is Primarily Liable.
(j) Each Borrower has requested that the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders make
this credit facility available to the Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance the
Loan Parties’ business most efficiently and economically. The Loan Parties’ business is a
mutual and collective enterprise, and the Borrowers believe that consolidation of their
credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the
administration of their relationship with the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, all
to the mutual advantage of the Borrowers. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the
Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s and each Lender’s willingness to extend credit to
the Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is
done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers at their request.
(k) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in
equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or
set off, that it may have at any time against the other Borrower, howsoever arising, to full
and final payment in full, in cash, of all Obligations.
(l) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by each Guarantor in the
Guaranty. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein
(and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to
be a surety or guarantor of the Obligations (by virtue of the Borrowers being co-obligors
and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its
interest in the Collateral for the benefit or debts of the other Borrower in connection
herewith or otherwise)).

__, ____
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Payor hereby promises to pay on demand to the order of [_____], or
its assigns (the “Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds, at such location in the United States of America as the Payee shall from time to
time designate, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans and advances heretofore and
hereafter made by the Payee to the Payor and any other indebtedness now or hereafter owing by the
Payor to the Payee in the books and records of the Payee. The Payee is hereby authorized (but
shall not be required) to record all loans and advances made by it to the Payor (all of which shall
be evidenced by this Intercompany Note (this “Note”)), and all repayments or prepayments
thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima facie evidence of the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).
The Payor also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof in like money at
said location from the date hereof until paid at such rate per annum as shall be agreed upon from
time to time by the Payor and the Payee.
Upon any exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement, including,
without limitation, the automatic acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(i), the
unpaid principal amount hereof shall become immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note.
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July _____, 2011 by and among Morgans
Group LLC, Beach Hotel Associates LLC, Morgans Hotel Group Co., the lenders party thereto and their
assignees under Section 13.5. thereof (the “Lenders”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as Agent (the “Agent”) (as amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from
time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and this Note is subject to the terms thereof. The
Payor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent may, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as in effect from time to time, exercise all rights provided therein with
respect to this Note.
The Payee agrees that any and all claims of the Payee against the Payor or any endorser of
this Note, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right
of payment to the Obligations until all of the Obligations have been performed and paid in full in
immediately available funds; provided, that the Payor may make payments to the Payee so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided,
further, that all loans and advances made by a Payee pursuant to this Note shall be
received by the Payor subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any right of
the
EXHIBIT G

Payee
to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from the Payor, all rights, Liens and security interests of the Payee, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever
existing, in any assets of the Payor (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given
to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the
Obligations or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of the Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender in such assets. The Payee shall have no right to possession of any
such asset or to foreclose upon, or exercise any other remedy in respect of, any such asset,
whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been
performed and paid in full in immediately available funds.
The Payee irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Agent as the Payee’s
attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) to, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) demand, xxx for, collect and
receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and (ii) make and present
for and on behalf of the Payee such proofs of claim and take such other action, in the Agent’s own
name or in the name of the Payee or otherwise, as the Agent may deem necessary or advisable at the
direction of the Requisite Lenders for the enforcement of this Note. The Payee also agrees, after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute, verify, deliver and
file any such proofs of claim in respect of any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, securities or other investment property, or otherwise, which shall be payable or
deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of the Payor to the Payee (“Payor
Indebtedness”) reasonably requested by the Agent or as directed by the Requisite Lenders. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may vote such proofs of
claim in any insolvency or similar proceeding in respect of any Payor (and the Payee shall not be
entitled to withdraw such vote), receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or
disbursements made on Payor Indebtedness in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and apply
the same on account of any of the Obligations. Except as otherwise permitted under the Credit
Agreement, should any payment, distribution, security or other investment property or instrument or
any proceeds thereof be received by the Payee upon or with respect to Payor Indebtedness owing to
the Payee after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Payee shall
receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and
each Lender, and if requested by the Agent, shall promptly deliver the same to the Agent in
precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Payee where necessary
or advisable), for application to any of the Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered,
the same shall be segregated from the other assets of the Payee and held in trust by the Payee as
the property of the Agent. If the Payee fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the
Agent, the Agent or any of its officers, employees or representatives are hereby irrevocably
authorized to make the same. The Payee agrees that until the Obligations have been performed and
paid in full in immediately available funds the Payee will not assign or transfer, or agree to
assign or transfer, to any Person (other than in favor of the Agent pursuant to the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or otherwise) any claim the Payee has or may have against
the Payor.
The Payor and any endorser of this Note acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may exercise all rights of the Payee
under this Note and all payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim,
abatement, reduction, recoupment, deduction or defense of any kind.

(f) any act or failure to act by either of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Lenders, the Issuing
Bank and the Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to,
any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and
all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or
supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending
or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest
rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with
all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan
Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied
Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against either of the Borrowers,
any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however
realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Lenders shall elect.
Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by each of the
Borrowers with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor as a Subsidiary or Loan Party
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in
full.
Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which any
Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with as a Subsidiary or Loan Party under the terms of
the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable
Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any
kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any
manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or the
Lenders are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of
any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent, the
Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand
therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received
in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such Lender repays
all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such
claim effected by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender with any such claimant (including each
of the Borrowers or a trustee in bankruptcy for either of the Borrowers), then and in such event
each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or
compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation
of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any
liability of either of the Borrowers, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank or such Lender for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if
such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender.
EXHIBIT J
Page 5
Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder
for the account of either of the Borrowers, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the
payee against the Borrowers; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not
enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in
respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against either of the
Borrowers arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of
such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount
in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith pay such amount to the
Agent to be credited and applied, at the Agent’s election, against the Guarantied Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by
the Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.
Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder,
whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full,
without set off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes),
and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such
deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been
required.
Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of
the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each
Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and any of their respective
affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such
Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of
a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent
exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits
(general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of
deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the
Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, or any affiliate of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or such
Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor
agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights
of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully
as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such
participation.
EXHIBIT J
Page 6
Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for
the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that all obligations and liabilities of
the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without
limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of
payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall
accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise)
from either of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party on account of or in any manner in respect of
any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.
Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of Morgans Hotel Group Management
LLC (“Management Company”), the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that in any
Proceeding, Management Company’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the
maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of Management Company hereunder (or
any other obligations of Management Company to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) to be
avoidable or unenforceable against Management Company in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable
Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the
“Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or
statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the
obligations of Management Company hereunder (or any other obligations of Management Company to the
Agent and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the
“Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of Management
Company hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the
maximum Guarantied Obligations for which Management Company shall be liable hereunder shall be
reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have
been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of Management Company
hereunder (or any other obligations of Management Company to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended
solely to preserve the rights of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder to the
maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of Management Company hereunder to be subject
to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither Management Company nor any other Person
shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would
not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each of the Borrowers and the other Loan
Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the
Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes
and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor the Issuing Bank or any of the
Lenders shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such
circumstances or risks.

IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS

JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH

THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS FURTHER

ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE
PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS NOTICE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 24, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR
CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE
OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE
AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST EACH OF THE PARTIES PARTY HERETO IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.
(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN

Section 17. Loan Accounts. The Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender may maintain
books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable
with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the
outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the
entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other
matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor
of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 18. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor
hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.
Section 19. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until
indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the termination or cancellation of
the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Bank or the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns
(including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the
provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be
deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be
binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement,
assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any
Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and
without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to
Section 13.8. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent
or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any
financial or other information regarding either of the Borrowers or any Guarantor. No Guarantor
may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written
consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have
not so consented shall be null and void.
Section 21. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE

of each policy maintained pursuant to this Section, Grantor shall deliver to Agent evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Agent that such policy has been renewed and that any such premiums
related to such policy have been timely paid (which premiums may be financed pursuant to a payment
or financing plan provided by the insurance carrier providing such insurance). In the event of

extinguishment of the Obligations, all right, title, and interest of Grantor in and to all
insurance policies then in force with respect to the Collateral shall pass to the purchaser or
Agent.

authorized and empowered, at its option, to adjust or compromise any loss under any insurance
policies maintained pursuant to this Section and to collect and receive the proceeds from any such

make payment for all losses involving casualty insurance proceeds (other
than business interruption insurance proceeds) in excess of $5,000,000 (a “Major
Casualty”) directly to Agent. If any insurance company fails to disburse directly and solely
to Agent in accordance with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentences, but disburses
instead either solely to Grantor or to Grantor and Agent jointly, Grantor agrees immediately to
endorse and transfer such proceeds to Agent. Upon the failure of Grantor to endorse and transfer
such proceeds as aforesaid, Agent may execute such endorsements or transfers for and in the name of
Grantor, and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as Grantor’s agent and attorney-in-fact to
do so, such appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.

sufficient detail that each of the following conditions have been satisfied), towards the
restoration of the Collateral, provided that the following conditions (the
“Restoration Conditions”) are met to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent:
(a) in Agent’s reasonable judgment, the Collateral can, with diligent
restoration, be returned to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that
existed prior to the casualty within 60 days prior to the Maturity Date;
provided however that this condition shall not apply in the event that (i) a
new Appraisal of the Property in its then current condition is delivered pursuant to
Section 4.2(c) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) a forward looking calculation of the
Adjusted Net Operating Income of the Property for the immediately succeeding four
(4) fiscal quarters, on a Pro Forma Basis taking into account the then current

by Grantor), for restoration or repair; and
(e) the amount of such proceeds (other than business interruption insurance
proceeds) is not greater than $100,000,000; or
(ii) if the Restoration Conditions are not satisfied within 90 days following a Major
Casualty, to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due and as provided in Section
11.4 of the Credit Agreement or for any other purposes or objects for which Agent is
expressly entitled to advance or apply funds under the Loan Documents;
all without affecting the Lien of this Security Instrument, and any balance of such moneys then
remaining shall be paid to Grantor or whomever may be legally entitled thereto. Agent and Lenders
shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms
of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.
Section 3.13 Restoration Following Casualty. If any act or occurrence of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen (including any casualty for which insurance was not obtained or obtainable), shall
result in damage to, or loss or destruction of, the Collateral in an amount in excess of $500,000,
Grantor shall give notice thereof to Agent promptly and, at Grantor’s sole cost and expense and
regardless of whether the insurance proceeds (if any) shall be sufficient for the purpose, Grantor
shall commence and continue diligently to completion to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the
Collateral in accordance with all Legal Requirements as nearly as possible to its value, condition
and character immediately prior to such damage, loss or destruction.

any action, proceeding or claim affecting the Collateral or the Loan Documents, and all costs and
expenses incurred by Agent and/or Lenders in protecting its interests hereunder in such an event

any Lender, as applicable.
Section 3.15 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 3.16 No Conflicts, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance of this Security Instrument and the other Security
Documents encumbering or relating to any of the Collateral, in accordance with their respective
terms do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both: (a) require any
Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to Grantor or any of the Collateral;
(b) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents
of Grantor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Grantor is a party or by which
it or any of the Collateral may be bound; or (c) except as
provided herein or therein, result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon
or with respect to any of the Collateral.
Section 3.17 Licenses and Permits. Grantor currently holds and will continue to hold (i) all certificates of occupancy,
licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and approvals of any Governmental Authority
or any other Person, the absence of which could reasonably be expected to result in a material
adverse effect on the ownership, occupancy or operation of the Property and Improvements, taken as
a whole, and (ii) the right to use the name “Delano” pursuant to the Delano Management Agreement in
connection with the operation of the Property and Improvements. As of the date hereof, all such

ARTICLE IV
Condemnation
Section 4.1 Condemnation.
(a) Taking. If all or any portion of the Collateral is taken by condemnation or
eminent domain powers of any Governmental Authority (or any transfer by private sale in lieu
thereof), either temporarily or permanently, then, if any Event of Default then exists or the award
and other proceeds payable in connection therewith exceeds $5,000,000 (a “Major Taking”), then such
amount shall be paid to Agent and applied to payment of the Obligations after deducting any costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent in connection therewith, or otherwise
applied as provided in Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement.
Exhibit K
Page 15
(b) Participation in Proceedings. Grantor shall promptly notify Agent of any actual
or threatened initiation of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding as to any part of the
Collateral and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly deliver to Agent copies of any and all papers
served or received in connection with such proceedings. Agent shall have the right, at its option,
to participate in such proceedings at the sole cost and expense of Grantor (including without
limitation the Agent’s attorneys’ fees). Grantor shall execute such documents and take such other
steps as required to permit such participation.
(c) Right to Settle Claims. Agent is hereby authorized, at any time that an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to adjust, compromise and collect any condemnation
or eminent domain award or settle a claim for damages and to apply the same to the Obligations in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.
(d) Use of Proceeds. Grantor hereby assigns to Agent for the benefit of Lenders any
proceeds or awards which may become due by reason of any condemnation or
other taking for public use of the whole or any part of the Collateral or any rights
appurtenant thereto, and Agent is authorized, at its option, to collect and receive all such
compensation, awards or damages in respect of a Major Taking or otherwise when any Event of Default
exists and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the
amount of any such compensation, awards or damages. The proceeds of any such condemnation award or
proceeds or any part thereof, to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 4.1(a), shall
be applied:
(i) if the Restoration Conditions in Section 3.12(f) are satisfied, towards
restoration of the Collateral; or
(ii) if the Restoration Conditions are not satisfied, to the payment of the
Obligations, whether or not due and as provided in Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement, or
for any other purposes or objects for which Agent is expressly entitled to advance or apply
funds under the Loan Documents.
(e) Further Assignment. Grantor agrees to execute such further assignments of any
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds as Agent may reasonably
require to effect the terms of this Security Instrument. If, prior to the receipt by Agent of such
award or proceeds, the Collateral shall have been bid on foreclosure of this Security Instrument,
Agent shall have the right to receive such award or proceeds to the extent of any unpaid
Obligations following such sale, with legal interest thereon, whether or not a deficiency judgment
on this Security Instrument, the Obligations or the other Loan Documents shall have been sought or
recovered, and to the extent of attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Agent in
connection with the collection of such award or proceeds. If Grantor fails to assign such
compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action, and proceeds as aforesaid, Agent may
execute such endorsements or transfers for and in the name of Grantor and Grantor hereby appoints

interest and being irrevocable.

Section 5.2 Foreclosure of Other Liens. If the holder of any Lien on any of the Collateral or any Lien secured by a pledge of a

from or cannot be enforced against the Collateral (by bonding the same off or otherwise) within 10

ARTICLE VI
Remedies
Section 6.1 Remedies. If an Event of Default exists, Agent may, and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders
shall, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:
(a) Termination of License. (i) Terminate the License granted to Grantor in
Section 8.3 hereof and exercise the rights, powers and privileges of landlord under
the Leases, and then and thereafter, with or without taking possession of the Collateral, in
Grantor’s own name or in the name of Agent, demand, collect, receive, xxx for, attach and
levy on the Rents (including demand for Rents collected for the period in which the demand
occurs) and give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor.
(ii) Deliver a written demand to any Tenant for payment of Rents, which demand
shall be sufficient evidence of each such Tenant’s obligation and authority to make
all future payments of Rents to Agent without the necessity for further consent by
the Grantor. Grantor, for itself and its agents, covenants and agrees not to
countermand any such written demand to Tenants for payment of Rents.
(b) Entry on Collateral. (i) Demand that Grantor, and upon such demand
Grantor shall, forthwith surrender to Agent the actual possession of the Collateral, and to
the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, enter and take possession of all of the
Collateral without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and exclude
Grantor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have joint access with Grantor to
the books, papers and accounts of Grantor.
(ii) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may seek a judgment
or decree conferring upon Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring
Grantor to deliver immediate possession of the Collateral to Agent, and Grantor
hereby specifically covenants and agrees that Grantor shall not oppose, contest or
otherwise hinder or delay Agent in any action or proceeding by Agent to obtain such
judgment or decree. Grantor shall pay to Agent, upon demand, all expenses of
obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Agent, its
attorneys and agents, and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid,
become part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Security Instrument.
(iii) Upon every such entering on or taking of possession, Agent may hold,
store, use, operate, manage and control the Collateral and conduct the business
thereof, and, from time to time, (A) make all necessary and proper maintenance,
repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and
thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other
property, (B) insure or keep the Collateral insured, (C) manage and operate the
Collateral and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as
Grantor could in its own name or otherwise act with respect to the same, and (D)
enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of
the powers herein granted to Agent, all as Agent from time to time may determine to
be in its best interest. Anything in this Security Instrument to the contrary
notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to discharge or
perform the duties of the landlord to any Tenant or incur any liability as the
result of any exercise by Agent of its rights under this Security Instrument, and
Agent shall be liable to account only for the Rents actually received by Agent.
Exhibit K
Page 18
(iv) Make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of any Lease, remove and
evict any Tenant, increase or decrease Rents under any Lease, appear in and defend
any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Collateral, and perform and
discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of Grantor contained in
any Lease, whether or not Agent takes possession of the Collateral.
(v) Neither the entering upon and taking possession of the Collateral, nor the
collection of any Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall cure or
waive any Event of Default theretofore or thereafter occurring, or affect any notice
of an Event of Default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such
notice. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming
under or through Grantor, or anyone having an interest in the Collateral by reason
of anything done or left undone by Agent hereunder. Nothing contained in this
subsection (b) shall require Agent to incur any expense or do any act. If the Rents
are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the
Collateral and/or collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Agent or Lenders for
such purposes shall become Obligations of Grantor to Agent or Lenders, as the case
may be, secured by this Security Instrument. Such amounts, together with interest
at the Post-Default Rate, and attorneys’ fees, if applicable, shall be immediately
due and payable. Notwithstanding Agent’s continuance in possession or receipt and
application of Rents, Agent shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for
in this Security Instrument or by Applicable Law upon or after the occurrence of an
Event of Default. Any of the actions referred to in this subsection (b) may be
taken by Agent at such time as Agent is so entitled, without regard to the adequacy
of any security for the Obligations hereby secured.
(c) Foreclosure and Sale. If the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to
the Credit Agreement, institute an action to foreclose this Security Instrument, or take
such other action as may be allowed at law or in equity, for the enforcement hereof and
realization on the Collateral or any other security which is herein or elsewhere in the Loan
Documents provided for the Collateral or any part thereof at one or more sales before the
door of the courthouse of the county in which the Property or any part of the Property is
situated, or such other place as is required or permitted by Applicable Law, without notice
except as required or set forth herein or otherwise required by Applicable Law, to the
highest bidder for cash, or to proceed to final judgment and execution thereon, in order to
pay the Obligations, and all expenses of sale and of all proceedings in connection
therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, all costs of suit, interest at the
Post-Default Rate as provided in the Credit Agreement on any judgment obtained by Agent from
and after the date of any sale of the Collateral (which may be sold in one parcel or in such
parcels, manner or order as Agent shall elect) until actual payment is made of the full
amount due Agent and Lenders, without further stay, any law, usage or custom to the contrary
notwithstanding. In the event of any sale pursuant to any order
in any judicial proceedings or otherwise, the Collateral may be sold as an entirety or
in separate parcels and in such manner or order as Agent in its sole discretion may elect,
and if Agent so elects, Agent may sell the Personalty covered by this Security Instrument at
one or more separate sales in any manner permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted
in the State of New York, and one or more exercises of the powers herein granted shall not
extinguish nor exhaust such powers, until the entire Collateral is sold or the Obligations
are paid in full. If the Obligations are now or hereafter further secured by any chattel
mortgages, pledges, contracts of guaranty, assignments of lease or other security
instruments, Agent may at its option exhaust the remedies granted under any of said security
instruments, either concurrently or independently, and in such order as Agent may determine.

expenses, costs and commissions.

preceding subparagraph, or elsewhere in this Article VI, either with or without entry or

performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Security Instrument or any other
right and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Agent at its sole discretion
shall elect.

right, without notice and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the
Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a
receiver to take possession of and to operate the Collateral and to collect and apply the
incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the
rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Florida. Grantor shall pay to
Agent upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, attorneys’ fees, costs and
agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, and any such
amounts paid by Agent shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by this
Security Instrument.

(e) Performance by Agent. At Agent’s option and without any obligation to do
so, pay, perform or observe any term, covenant or condition of this Security Instrument not
paid, performed or observed by Grantor, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred
by Agent in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall
be, without demand, immediately repaid by Grantor to Agent with interest thereon at the
Post-Default Rate. Agent shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and
of the amounts to be paid Agent is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to
enter upon the Collateral or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any
such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any
person in possession holding under Grantor.
(f) Relief From Automatic Stay. If Grantor is the subject of any insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization, or similar proceeding, federal or
state, voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future Applicable Law, Agent shall be
entitled to relief from the automatic stay as to the enforcement of its remedies under the
Loan Documents against the Collateral, including specifically, but not limited to, the stay
imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 362, as amended, and Grantor hereby consents to the immediate
lifting of any such automatic stay and will not contest any motion by Agent to lift such
stay.
(g) Other. Exercise any and all other rights, remedies and recourses granted
under this Security Instrument (including, without limitation, those set forth in
Articles VII, VIII and IX hereinbelow) or now or hereafter existing
in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
Section 6.2 Separate Sales. With respect to sales hereunder, the Collateral may be sold in one or more parcels and in
such manner and order as Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect, it being expressly understood
and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any
one or more sales.
Section 6.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Non-Exclusive. Agent and Lenders shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in this Security
Instrument and available under Applicable Law (including specifically those granted by the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect and applicable to the Collateral or any portion thereof), and if such
Event of Default also constitutes an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, all rights,
remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available under Applicable Law. All such
rights and remedies (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor, MG
Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Person, or against any of the Collateral (as defined
in the Credit Agreement), or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Agent, all
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Grantor that the exercise or failure to exercise any of
same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or
recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.
Exhibit K
Page 21
Section 6.4 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Neither Grantor, MG Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person obligated for
payment of all or any part of, or fulfillment of all or any of, the Obligations, shall be relieved
of such obligation by reason of (a) the failure of Agent or any Lender to comply with any request
of Grantor, MG Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person so obligated, to foreclose this
Security Instrument or to enforce any provisions of the other Loan Documents, (b) the release,
regardless of consideration, of any of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the
addition of any other property to such Collateral, (c) any agreement or stipulation between any
subsequent owner of any of such Collateral and Agent extending, renewing, rearranging or in any
other way modifying the terms of the Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of,
given notice to or paid any consideration to Grantor, MG Borrower, such other Loan Party or such
other Person, and in such event, Grantor, MG Borrower, all such other Loan Parties and all such
other Persons shall continue to be liable to make payment according to the terms of any such
extension or modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged, in writing, by Agent,
or (d) by any other act or occurrence, save and except the complete payment and the complete
fulfillment of all of the Obligations.
Section 6.5 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Agent may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Collateral without, as to
the remainder of the Collateral, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing any of
the Liens created or evidenced by any of the Loan Documents or their position as a first and prior
Lien in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement). For payment of the
Obligations, Agent may resort to any security therefor held by Agent in such order and manner as
Agent may elect.
Section 6.6 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. Grantor agrees, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, that neither Grantor nor
anyone claiming through or under Grantor will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any
moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead,
exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the
enforcement or foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the absolute sale of the Collateral, the
delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, or the
exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. Grantor, for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit
of all such Applicable Laws, and any and all right to have assets subject to the Lien of this
Security Instrument marshaled upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted or a sale
in inverse order of alienation.

Section 6.7 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this
Security Instrument by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been
withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to
Agent, then in every such case (a) Grantor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions
and rights, (b) all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding
had been taken, (c) each and every Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to
such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be and shall be deemed to be a continuing
Event of Default and (d) neither this Security Instrument, nor the Obligations, nor any other Loan
Document, shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such
withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment. Grantor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any
Applicable Law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result
contrary to or in conflict with the provisions of this Section.
Section 6.8 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding,
leasing, operation or other use of, the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Leases)
shall be applied by Agent (or the receiver, if one is appointed) as provided in Section 11.4 of the
Credit Agreement.
Section 6.9 Leases. Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Security Instrument subject to the
rights of any Tenants of the Collateral under any Leases, and the failure to make any Tenants
parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights shall not be, nor be
asserted to be by Grantor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to collect the
Obligations.
Section 6.10 Purchase by Agent or Lenders. Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral under the power
of sale herein granted Agent may bid for and purchase the Collateral and shall be entitled to apply
all or any part of the Obligations as a credit to the purchase price.
Section 6.11 Grantor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such foreclosure sale or sales under the power herein granted, Grantor
shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or
purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to
tenants holding over.
Section 6.12 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Agent shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may
deem expedient (a) to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or
constitute an Event of Default under this Security Instrument, (b) to preserve or protect its
interest in the Collateral and in the Leases and Rents arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the
enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order
that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such
enactment rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of
Agent. In such event, Grantor shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount
reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent,
together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such
expenditure until paid.

Section 6.13 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor, its creditors or its property,
Agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim
and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Agent allowed
in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Obligations at the date of the institution of such
proceedings and for any additional amount of the Obligations after such date.
Section 6.14 Occupancy After Foreclosure. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale pursuant to Section 6.1(c) shall become the
legal owner of the Collateral or the portion thereof foreclosed. All occupants (except those which
have previously executed a prior written agreement with purchaser) of the Collateral or any part
thereof shall become tenants at sufferance of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale and shall
deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand, subject to the rights, if any,
of Tenants.
Section 6.15 Waiver of Grantor’s Rights. BY EXECUTION OF THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF
AGENT AND LENDERS TO ACCELERATE THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED BY THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT UPON AN EVENT
OF DEFAULT WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS

OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, (1) TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL
HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY AGENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO AGENT, EXCEPT
SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY
INSTRUMENT AND (2) CONCERNING THE APPLICATION, RIGHTS OR BENEFITS OF ANY STATUTE OF LIMITATION OR
ANY MORATORIUM, REINSTATEMENT, MARSHALING, FORBEARANCE, APPRAISEMENT, VALUATION, STAY, EXTENSION,
HOMESTEAD, EXEMPTION OR REDEMPTION LAWS; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR HAS READ THIS SECURITY
INSTRUMENT AND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF GRANTOR REGARDING THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS SECURITY
INSTRUMENT AND ITS PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED FULLY TO GRANTOR, AND GRANTOR HAS CONSULTED WITH
COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT; AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF GRANTOR HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND

ARTICLE VII
Security Agreement
Section 7.1 Security Interest. This Security Instrument shall also constitute and serve as a security agreement on
personal property within the meaning of under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in New York
with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases and Rents. To this end, Grantor has GRANTED,
BARGAINED, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED and SET OVER, and by these presents, does GRANT,
BARGAIN, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER and SET OVER, to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security
interest in all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to, under and with respect to the
Personalty, Fixtures, Leases and Rents now owned or hereafter owned or acquired, in each case, to
the extent not constituting Excluded Property, to secure the full and timely payment, performance
and discharge of the Obligations. It is the intent of Grantor, Agent and Lenders that this
Security Instrument encumber all Leases and Rents, in each case, to the extent not constituting
Excluded Property, that all items contained in the definition of “Leases” and
“Rents” which are included within Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in
New York be covered by the security interest granted in this Article VII and that all items
contained in the definition of “Leases” and “Rents” which are excluded from Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in New York be covered by the provisions of Article
II and Article VIII hereof.
Section 7.2 Financing Statements. Grantor hereby authorizes Agent to file such Financing Statements and such further
assurances as Agent may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and
preserve Agent’s security interest herein granted, and Agent may cause such statements and
assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by
law, to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest.
Section 7.3 Uniform Commercial Code Remedies. Agent shall have all the rights and remedies with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures,
Leases and Rents afforded to a “secured party” by the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in New
York as to property within the scope thereof, in addition to, and not in limitation of, the other
rights and remedies afforded by the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Foreclosure of Security Interest. If an Event of Default exists, Agent may elect, in addition to exercising any and all other
rights and remedies set forth in Article VI or referred to in Section 7.3 or
Article VII hereof, to proceed in the manner set forth in Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as adopted in New York, relating to the procedure to be followed when a Security
Agreement covers both real and personal property.
Section 7.5 No Obligation of Secured Party. The assignment and security interest herein granted shall not be deemed or construed to
constitute Agent or any Lender as a trustee or mortgagee in possession of the Collateral, to
obligate Agent or any Lender to lease the Collateral or attempt to do same, or to take any action,
incur any expense or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of
the Leases or otherwise.

number is 2345191. Grantor hereby represents to Agent and Lenders that, during the past five years
prior to the date hereof, Grantor has not changed its name or merged with or otherwise combined its
business with any Person; provided, however, Grantor has converted from a limited
partnership. Without giving Agent at least 30-days’ prior written notice and to the extent such
action is not otherwise prohibited by any of the Loan Documents, Grantor shall not (a) change its
name; (b) reorganize or otherwise become formed under the laws of another jurisdiction or (c)
become bound by a security agreement (other than a Loan Document) of another Person under Section

covered hereby is set forth in the definition of “Collateral” above.
ARTICLE VIII
Assignment of Leases and Rents
Section 8.1 Assignment. For and in consideration of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00), and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to secure the full and
timely payment of the Obligations and the full and timely performance and discharge of the
Obligations, Grantor has GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, SET OVER and
DELIVERED, and by these presents does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, SET
OVER and DELIVER absolutely unto Agent for the benefit of the Lenders the Leases (whether now
existing or entered into after the date hereof) and the Rents, subject only to the hereinafter
described License, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leases and the Rents unto Agent, its successors and
assigns, for the benefit of the Lenders forever, and Grantor does hereby bind itself, its
successors and assigns to WARRANT and FOREVER DEFEND the title to the Leases and the Rents unto
Agent against every Person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof,
in each case, other than the Xxxxxxx Brothers Agreement, but only to the extent, and for so long
as, Grantor’s right to assign the Xxxxxxx Brothers Agreement is prohibited pursuant to the terms
thereof or such prohibition is rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the
Uniform Commercial Code or any other Applicable Law. If an Event of Default exists, Agent shall
have the right power and privilege (but shall be under no duty) to demand possession of the Rents,
which demand shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be sufficient action by
Agent to entitle Agent to immediate and direct payment of the Rents (including delivery to Agent of
Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for
application as provided herein, all without the necessity of any further action by Agent including,
without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Improvements or the Property. Grantor
hereby authorizes and directs the Tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Agent upon written
demand by Agent accompanied by a notice from the Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default,
without further consent of Grantor, without any obligation on the part of any Tenant to determine
whether an Event of Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Agent has taken
possession of any portion of the Property, and the Tenants may rely upon any written statement
delivered by Agent to the Tenants. Any such payment to Agent shall constitute payment to Grantor
under the Leases, and Grantor hereby appoints Agent as Grantor’s lawful attorney-in-fact for
giving, and Agent is hereby empowered to give, acquittances to any Tenants for such payments to
Agent after a default.
Exhibit K
Page 26
Section 8.2 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 8.3 Limited License. Provided that there exists no Event of Default, Grantor shall have the right under
a limited license granted hereby, and Agent hereby grants to Grantor a limited license (the
“License”), to collect, all of the Rents arising from or out of the Leases, or any renewals
or extensions thereof, or from or out of the Collateral or any part thereof.
Section 8.4 Grantor’s Indemnities. Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and Lenders free and harmless from and
against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense which Agent and/or Lenders may incur
under or by reason of this assignment, or for any action taken by the Agent hereunder, or by reason
or in defense of any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent
and/or Lenders arising out of the Leases (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender), including specifically, but without limitation, any
claim by any Tenant of credit for Rents paid to and received by Grantor, but not delivered to
Agent, for any period under any Lease more than 1 month in advance of the due date thereof. If
Agent or any Lender incurs any such liability, loss, cost, damage or expense, the amount thereof,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate, shall be
payable by Grantor to Agent immediately, without demand, and shall be secured hereby and by all
other Loan Documents.
Section 8.5 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby further constitutes and appoints Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact
of the Grantor, and in the name, place and stead of said Grantor, to subject and subordinate at any
time and from time to time any Lease or any part thereof to the lien and security interest of the
Security Instrument or any other mortgage, security deed, deed of trust or security agreement on or
to any ground lease of the Collateral, or to request or require such subordination, where such
reservation, option or authority was reserved to the Grantor under any such Lease, or in any case
where the Grantor otherwise would have the right, power or privilege so to do. The foregoing
appointment is irrevocable and continuing and coupled with an interest, and such rights, powers and
privileges shall be exclusive in Agent and its successors and assigns so long as any part of the
Obligations secured hereby remains unpaid and undischarged. Grantor hereby warrants that Grantor
has not at any time prior to the date hereof exercised any such rights, and Grantor hereby
covenants not to exercise any such right, to subordinate any such Lease to the lien of this
Security Instrument or to any other security deed, mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement or
to any ground lease.

Section 8.6 Exculpation of Agent. The acceptance by Agent of this assignment of the Leases and Rents, with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and
taking possession of the Collateral by Agent, be deemed or construed to constitute Agent a
“mortgagee in possession”, nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate the Agent to
appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases, the Rents or the Collateral or
to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge
any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or to assume any obligation or responsibility for
any security deposits or other deposits delivered to Grantor by any Tenant and not assigned and
delivered to Agent, nor shall Agent be liable in any way for any injury or damage to persons or
property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Collateral.
Section 8.7 [Intentionally Omitted].
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous
Section 9.1 Performance at Grantor’s Expense. Grantor shall pay to Agent and Lenders immediately upon demand all costs and expenses
incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection herewith as provided in Section 13.2 of the Credit
Agreement, and the same shall be secured hereby. For all purposes of this Security Instrument,
Agent’s reasonable and documented costs and expenses shall include, without limitation, all
appraisal and re-appraisal fees (in each case, subject to the limitations provided in Section 13.2
of the Credit Agreement as well as the other applicable limitations set forth in the Credit
Agreement in respect of appraisals), reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees (including,
without limitation, fees for trial, appeal or other proceedings), accounting fees, environmental
consultant fees (if any), auditor fees, and the cost to Agent of any documentary taxes, recording
fees, brokerage fees, title search fees, title insurance premiums and title surveys (including any
such title related fees and premiums incurred in connection with title updates). In addition,
Grantor recognizes and agrees that formal written appraisals of the Collateral by a licensed
independent appraiser may be required by federal regulatory reporting requirements on an annual or
specialized basis, which shall be at Grantor’s expense.
Exhibit K
Page 28
Section 9.2 Survival of Obligations. Each and all of the Obligations shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and shall continue in
full force and effect until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full as provided
in Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement; provided however, that nothing contained
in this Section shall limit the obligations of Grantor as set forth in Section 3.14 and
8.4 herein.
Section 9.3 Recording and Filing. Grantor shall cause the Loan Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto and
substitutions therefor to be recorded, filed, re-recorded and refiled in such manner and in such
places as Agent shall reasonably request and shall pay all such recording, filing, re-recording and
refiling taxes, fees and other charges.
Section 9.4 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this
Security Instrument shall be made and delivered as provided in Section 13.1 of the Credit
Agreement.
Section 9.5 No Waiver. Any failure by Agent or Lenders to insist, or any election by Agent or Lenders not to
insist, upon strict performance by Grantor of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Security Instrument shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or
condition hereof, and Agent and Lenders shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to
insist upon strict performance by Grantor of any and all such terms, provisions and conditions. No
delay or omission by Agent or Lenders to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any
breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default, or acquiescence therein, and every
right, power and remedy given by this Security Instrument to Agent or Lenders may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent or Lenders. No consent or waiver,
expressed or implied, by Agent or Lenders to or of any breach or Event of Default by Grantor in the
performance of the Obligations of Grantor or to any other Event of Default shall be deemed or
construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the
performance of the same or any other Obligations of Grantor. Failure on the part of Agent to
complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long
such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of rights hereunder or impair any rights,
powers, or remedies of Agent or Lenders hereunder.
No act or omission by Agent or Lenders shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise
affect the liability of Grantor under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents
to which it is a party or in respect of any Obligations of Grantor or the liability of any
subsequent purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any maker, cosigner, endorser,
surety or guarantor, or preclude Agent or Lenders from exercising any right, power or privilege
herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Event of Default then made or by any
subsequent Event of Default, or alter the Lien of this Security Instrument. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may:
(a) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of all or any portion of
the Obligations;
Exhibit K
Page 29
(b) take other or additional security for the payment of the Obligations;
(c) waive or fail to exercise any right granted hereunder or in the Credit Agreement or
the other Loan Documents;
(d) change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Credit
Agreement, this Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents;
(e) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Collateral;
(f) consent to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Collateral;
(g) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the security interest or lien
hereof; or
(h) take or omit to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Credit Agreement,
this Security Instrument, the Collateral or any document or instrument evidencing, securing
or in any way relating to the Obligations;
all without releasing, discharging, modifying, changing or affecting any such liability, or
precluding Agent or Lenders from exercising any such right, power or privilege, or affecting the
Lien of this Security Instrument. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or
otherwise of all or any part of the Collateral, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and
empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Collateral or the
Obligations, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as
fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any
way releasing or discharging any liabilities, Obligations or undertakings.
Section 9.6 Agent’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Grantor shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by
the Loan Documents after the expiration of relevant notice and cure periods, then at any time
thereafter, and without notice to or demand upon Grantor and without waiving or releasing any other
right, remedy or recourse Agent may have because of same, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Grantor, and shall
have the right to enter the Property and Improvements for such purpose and to take all such action
thereon and with respect to the Collateral as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Agent shall
elect to pay any Imposition or other sums due with reference to the Collateral, Agent may do so in
reliance on any xxxx, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority
or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in
making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Agent
shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien,
encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the
same. Grantor shall indemnify Agent and Lenders for all losses, expenses, damages, claims and
causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts
performed by
Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section or by reason of any other provision in the
Loan Documents. All sums paid by Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section, and all other sums
expended by Agent or Lenders to which they shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with
interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall
constitute additions to the Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens created by the Loan
Documents and shall be paid by Grantor to Agent upon demand.

titles and interests heretofore existing against the Collateral to secure the indebtedness so
extinguished, extended or renewed, and the former rights, claims, liens, titles and interests, if
any, are not waived, but rather, are continued in full force and effect in favor of Agent and are
merged with the lien or security title and interest created herein as cumulative security for the
repayment and the satisfaction of the Obligations.
Section 9.16 Headings. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections, subsections and clauses in this Security
Instrument are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Security

Section 9.19 Limitation on Interest. It is the intent of the Grantor and the Mortgagee in the execution of this Security Instrument
and all other instruments evidencing or securing the Obligations to contract in strict compliance
with applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, the Mortgagee and the Grantor stipulate and
agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Security Instrument shall ever be
construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or retention of money requiring payment of
interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by relevant law.
If this Security Instrument or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Obligations violates
any applicable usury law, then the interest rate payable in respect of the Loans or the
Post-Default Rate, as applicable, shall be the highest rate permissible by law.

promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in this Security Instrument
or any UCC financing statements filed in connection herewith; (b) promptly execute, acknowledge,
deliver and record or file such further instruments (including, without limitation, further

capitalized, including future advances and re-advances, pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of the
Lenders and/or the Agent, or otherwise, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on
the date of the execution of this Security
Instrument. The Lien of this Security Instrument shall be valid as to all indebtedness
secured hereby, including future advances, from the time of its filing for record in the recorder’s
office of the county in which the Collateral is located. This Security Instrument is intended to
and shall be valid and have priority over all subsequent Liens and encumbrances, including
statutory Liens, excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the real estate, to the extent of
the maximum amount secured hereby, and Permitted Encumbrances related thereto. Although this
Security Instrument is given to secure all future advances made by the Mortgagee and/or the Lender
to or for the benefit of the MG Borrower, the Grantor and/or the Collateral, whether obligatory or
optional, the Grantor and the Mortgagee hereby acknowledge and agree that the Mortgagee and the
Lenders are obligated by the terms of the Loan Documents to make certain future advances, including
advances of a revolving nature, subject to the fulfillment of the relevant conditions set forth in
the Loan Documents.

Grant and Conveyance
Assignor does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and presently bargain, sell, assign and set

interest of Assignor in and to any and all existing or future Lease, together with the immediate
and continuing right to collect and receive all the Rents (other than the Xxxxxxx Brothers
Agreement, but only to the extent, and for so long as, Assignor’s right to assign the Xxxxxxx
Brothers Agreement is prohibited pursuant to the terms thereof or such prohibition is rendered
unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the Uniform Commercial Code or any other
Applicable Law).
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD THE SAME UNTO ASSIGNEE as provided herein.
This Assignment is intended to be an absolute assignment from Assignor to Assignee and not
merely the passing of a security interest; provided, however, that Assignee hereby
grants to Assignor a revocable license to collect, except as hereinafter provided, the Rents and to
enforce the Leases, so long as no Event of Default exists. If an Event of Default occurs, however,
such license shall be revoked upon the written election of Assignee and Assignee shall not be
required to take any further action whatsoever, including, without limitation, instituting legal
proceedings of any kind, to terminate Assignor’s license to collect Rents or enforce any of the
other provisions or remedies contained in the Assignment.
Exhibit L
Page 5
ARTICLE III
Representations, Warranties, and Covenants
Section 3.1 Assignee as Creditor. Notwithstanding the license granted in Article
II above, Assignor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default Assignee, and not Assignor, shall be deemed to be the creditor of each Tenant in respect
of assignments for the benefit of creditors in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
dissolution, or receivership proceedings affecting such Tenant (without obligation on the part of
Assignee, however, to file or make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or otherwise to
pursue creditor’s rights therein), with an option to Assignee to apply any money received by
Assignee as such creditor in reduction of the Obligations.
Section 3.2 Rights and Remedies. Assignor agrees that while an Event of Default
exists, the license reserved herein by Assignor shall, upon the written election of Assignee, be
revoked, cease and terminate so long as an Event of Default is continuing and Assignee is hereby
authorized, at its option, to enter and take possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, and
to perform all acts necessary for the operations and maintenance of the Premises in the same manner
and to the same extent that Assignor might so act. It is the intention of the parties that
Assignee’s right to collect the Rents due and owing may be exercised without electing to exercise
Assignee’s right to enter, take over and assume the management, operation and maintenance of the
Premises. In furtherance thereof and not by way of limitation, Assignee is empowered, but shall be
under no obligation while an Event of Default exists, to collect the Rents, to enforce payment
thereof and the performance of any and all other terms and provisions of the Leases, to exercise
all the rights and privileges of Assignor thereunder, including the right to fix or modify Rents,
to bring or defend any suits in connection with the possession of the Premises or any part thereof
in its own name or Assignor’s name, to relet the Premises or any part thereof and to collect the
Rents under any new Lease. Assignee shall from time to time apply the net amount of income after
payment of all proper costs and charges, including loss or damage referred to in Section
3.6 below, and attorneys’ fees, to the Obligations as provided in Section 11.4. of the Credit
Agreement. Such entry and taking possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, may be made by
actual entry and possession, or by written notice served personally upon or sent by registered or
certified mail to the last owner of the Premises appearing on the records of Assignee, as Assignee
may elect, and no further authorization shall be required. Assignee shall only be accountable for
money actually received by it pursuant to this Assignment. Notwithstanding any action taken by
Assignee pursuant to this Section or otherwise in this Assignment, neither the assignment made
pursuant hereto or any such action shall constitute Assignee as a “mortgagee in possession.” While
an Event of Default exists, Assignee shall have all rights and remedies provided hereunder, as well
as at law or in equity, none of which shall be exclusive remedies, but on a cumulative basis.
Section 3.3 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.4 Consent to Payment of Rents. Assignor irrevocably consents that the
Tenants, upon demand and notice from Assignee of the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall pay
the Rents to Assignee, without liability of the Tenants for the determination of the actual
existence of any such Event of Default. Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the
Tenants, upon receipt of any notice from Assignee of an Event of Default, to pay to the Assignee
the Rents due and to become due under the Leases. Assignor agrees that the Tenants shall have the
right to rely upon any such notices of Assignee and that the Tenants shall pay such Rents to
Assignee, without any obligation and without any right to inquire as to whether such Event of
Default actually exists, notwithstanding any claim of Assignor to the contrary. Assignor shall
have no claim against any Tenant for any Rents paid by any Tenant to Assignee. If an Event of
Default shall cease to exist, Assignor may request that Assignee (and upon any such request
Assignee shall) give written notice thereof to Tenants and thereafter, until further notice from
Assignee, Tenants shall pay the Rents to Assignor.
Exhibit L
Page 6
Section 3.5 Right to Further Assignment. Assignee shall have the right to assign
Assignor’s right, title, and interest in the Leases (other than the Xxxxxxx Brothers Agreement) to
any subsequent holder of the Security Instrument and to any Person acquiring title to the Premises
through foreclosure or otherwise. The receipt by Assignee of any Rents pursuant to this Assignment
after the institution of foreclosure proceedings under the Security Instrument shall not cure any
default nor affect such proceedings or any sale pursuant thereto. After Assignor shall have been
barred and foreclosed of all right, title and interest in the Premises, no assignee of Assignor’s
interest in the Leases shall be liable to account to Assignor for the Rents thereafter accruing.
Section 3.6 Indemnity. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to bind Assignee
or Lenders to the performance of any of the terms and provisions contained in any of the Leases, or
otherwise to impose any obligation on Assignee or Lenders, including, without limitation, any
liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any of the Leases in the event that
any Tenant shall have been joined as party defendant in any action to foreclose the Security
Instrument and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title, interest and
equity of redemption in the Premises. Prior to actual entry and taking possession of the Premises
by Assignee, this Assignment shall not operate to place responsibility for the control, care,
management, or repair of the Premises upon Assignee or Lenders or for the carrying out of any of
the terms and provisions of any Lease.
Section 3.7 Covenants Regarding Leases. Assignor covenants it will not, without the
prior written consent of Assignee obtained in each instance:
(a) take any action with respect to any Lease which would impair the security of
Assignee under this Assignment or the Security Instrument; or
(b) except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, sell, assign, transfer, mortgage,
pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber, whether by operation of Applicable Law or
otherwise, any Lease or any rentals under any Lease or any current or future Rents.
Section 3.9 Further Assurances. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Assignee,
and hereby irrevocably appoints Assignee and its successors and assigns as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver during the term of this Assignment, such further
instruments as Assignee may deem necessary to make this Assignment and any further assignment
effective.
Section 3.10 Cancellation Proceeds. If any Lease permits cancellation thereof on
payment of consideration and said privilege of cancellation is exercised, the payments made
or to be made by reason thereof are hereby assigned to Assignee to be applied to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable terms of the Loan Documents or to be held in trust by
Assignee as further security, without interest, for the Obligations.
Exhibit L
Page 7
Section 3.11 Notice of Default. Assignor will give prompt notice to Assignee of any
notice of default received from any Tenant with respect to any Lease and furnish Assignee with
complete copies of any said notice. If requested by Assignee, Assignor will enforce the Leases and
all remedies available to Assignor against the Tenants in case of default under any Lease by a
Tenant.
Section 3.12 Continued Interest. Notwithstanding any variation of the terms of any
Loan Document, including any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Obligations or in
the rate of interest payable under the Obligations or any extension of time for payment thereunder
or any release of part or parts of the Premises, the Leases and the Rents hereby assigned shall
continue as additional security in accordance with the terms of this Assignment.
Section 3.13 Additional Security. Without prejudice to any of its rights under this
Assignment, Assignee may (a) take security in addition to the security already given Assignee for
the payment of the Obligations, (b) release such other security, (c) release any party primarily or
secondarily liable on the Obligations, (d) grant or make extensions, renewals, modifications, or
indulgences with respect to the Loan Documents and replacements thereof, which replacements of the
Loan Documents may be on the same or on terms different from the present terms of the Loan
Documents, and (e) apply any other security theretofore held by it to the satisfaction of the
Obligations.
ARTICLE IV
Miscellaneous
Section 4.1 Headings. The Article, Section and Subsection entitlements hereof are
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used
in construing, the text of such Articles, Section or Subsection.

permitted to be given pursuant to this Assignment shall be made and delivered as provided in
Section 13.1. of the Credit Agreement.

Agreement, all of the terms of this Assignment shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties thereto, their successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and all
other Persons claiming by, through or under them.

otherwise modified by a written instrument or instruments as provided in Section 13.6 of the Credit
Agreement.
SECTION 4.6 APPLICABLE LAW. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT REGARDING THE
CREATION, PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS HEREIN GRANTED SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. ALL
OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable legal requirements. If any provision of

reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of the instrument
in which such provision is contained nor the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but
rather, shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Section 4.8 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and
every covenant, agreement and obligation of Assignor under this Assignment.
Section 4.9 Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but
one instrument.
Section 4.10 Conflict. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
the event of a conflict between the terms of this Assignment and the Credit Agreement, the terms of
the Credit Agreement shall govern.
Section 4.11 Florida Statutes. The assignment of rents contained in this Assignment
is intended to and does constitute an assignment of rents as contemplated in Florida Statutes

Liens. No Person has control of any of the Collateral other than the Pledgee.
(b) Authorization. The Pledgor has the right and power, and has taken all
necessary action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement in
accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, including the granting of the security interest hereunder, do not

Law relating to the Pledgor; (ii) violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default
under the organizational documents of the Pledgor, or any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which the Pledgor is a party or by which it or any of the Collateral of the

to create in favor of the Pledgee, for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral. Such security
interest will be perfected (i) with respect to any such Collateral that is a “security” (as
such term is defined in the UCC) and is evidenced by a certificate, when such Collateral is
delivered to the Pledgee with duly executed stock powers with respect thereto, (ii) with
respect to any such Collateral that is a “security” (as such term is defined in the UCC) but
is not evidenced by a certificate, when the UCC financing statement in appropriate form is
filed in the appropriate filing office in the jurisdiction of organization of the Pledgor or
when control is established by the Pledgee over such interests in accordance with the
provision of Section 8-106 of the UCC, or any successor provision, and (iii)
with respect to any such Collateral that is not a “security” (as such term is defined in the
UCC), when the UCC financing statement in the appropriate form is filed in the appropriate
filing office in the jurisdiction of organization of the Pledgor. Except as set forth in
this subsection, no action is necessary to perfect the security interest granted by the
Pledgor under this Agreement.
Exhibit X
Xxxx 4

with respect to the Collateral of the Pledgor is true and correct.

chief executive office are as set forth on Schedule 1 and such Schedule also lists all
jurisdictions of incorporation, legal names and locations of Pledgor’s chief executive
office for the five years preceding the date hereof.
(f) Authorization of Equity Interest. All Equity Interests which constitute
Collateral are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are not
subject to preemptive rights of any Person.
(g) Interests in Partnerships and LLCs. None of the Collateral consisting of
an interest in a partnership or in a limited liability company (i) is dealt in or traded on
a securities exchange or in securities markets, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it
is a security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company
security, (iv) otherwise constitutes a security or (v) constitutes a financial asset.
Section 4. Covenants. The Pledgor hereby unconditionally covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) No Liens; No Sale of Collateral. The Pledgor will not create, assume,
incur or permit or suffer to exist any adverse claim or other Lien on any of the Collateral
other than Permitted Liens and shall not enter into any document, instrument or agreement
(other than this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) which prohibits or purports to
prohibit the creation or assumption of any Lien on any of the Collateral. The Pledgor will
not sell, lease, lend, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the
Collateral (or any interest therein).
(b) Change of Name, Etc. Without giving the Pledgee at least 30-days’ prior
written notice and to the extent such action is not otherwise prohibited by any of the Loan
Documents, the Pledgor shall not: (i) change its name; (ii) reorganize or otherwise become
formed under the laws of another jurisdiction or (iii) become bound by a security agreement
of another Person under Section 9-203(d) of the UCC.

(d) Delivery of Certificates, Etc. If the Pledgor shall receive any
certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock and/or
liquidating dividends, other distributions in property, return of capital or other
distributions made on or in respect of the Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision,
combination or reclassification of outstanding Equity Interests or received in exchange for
Collateral or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or
other exchange of assets or on the liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or
otherwise), instrument, option or rights in respect of any Collateral, whether in addition
to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any Collateral, or otherwise
in respect thereof, the Pledgor shall hold the same in trust for the Pledgee, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders and promptly deliver such certificate or instrument to the Pledgee in
the exact form received, duly indorsed by the Pledgor to the Pledgee, if required, together
with an undated stock power covering such certificate (or other appropriate instrument of
transfer) duly executed in blank by the Pledgor and with, if the Pledgee so requests,

(e) Uncertificated Securities. With respect to any Collateral that constitutes
a security and is not represented or evidence by a certificate or instrument, the Pledgor
shall cause the Issuer thereof either (i) to register the Pledgee as the registered owner of
such security or (ii) to agree in writing with the Pledgee and the Pledgor that such Issuer
will comply with the instructions with respect to such security originated by the Pledgee
without further consent of the Pledgor.
(g) Additional Shares. The Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to issue any
additional Equity Interests unless such Equity Interests are pledged hereunder as provided
herein. Further, the Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to amend or modify its articles or
certificate of incorporation, articles of organization, certificate of limited partnership,
by-laws, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other comparable organizational
instrument in a manner which would adversely affect the voting, liquidation, preference or
other similar rights of any holder of the Equity Interests pledged hereunder.
(h) Issuer Acknowledgment. The Pledgor shall, upon the Pledgee’s request
therefor, cause each Issuer of Collateral pledged by the Pledgor and which Issuer is not a
Pledgor itself, to execute and deliver to the Pledgee an Acknowledgment and Consent
substantially in the form of Schedule 2 attached hereto.
Section 5. Voting Rights; Dividends, etc.
(a) So long as no Event of Default exists:
(i) the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or
consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Collateral or any part
thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any of
the Loan Documents or any agreement giving rise to or otherwise relating to any
of the Secured Obligations; and
Exhibit X
Xxxx 6
(ii) the Pledgor shall be entitled to retain and use any and all cash dividends
or interest paid on the Collateral in the normal course of the applicable Issuer’s
business, but any and all stock and/or liquidating dividends, other distributions in
property, return of capital or other distributions made on or in respect of the
Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of
outstanding Equity Interests or received in exchange for Collateral or any part
thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange
of assets or on the liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or otherwise,
shall be and become part of the Collateral and, if received by the Pledgor, shall
forthwith be delivered to the Pledgee.
The Pledgee agrees to execute and deliver to the Pledgor, or cause to be executed and
delivered to the Pledgor, as appropriate, at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor, all such
proxies, powers of attorney, dividend orders and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and
powers which the Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and/or to receive the
dividends which the Pledgor is authorized to retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.
(b) If an Event of Default exists, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting
and/or consensual rights and powers which the Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to
subsection (a)(i) above and/or to receive the dividends and distributions which the Pledgor
is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above shall cease, and
all such rights thereupon shall become immediately vested in the Pledgee, which shall have
the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights
and powers which the Pledgor shall otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection
(a)(i) above and/or to receive and retain the dividends and distributions which the Pledgor
shall otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above. Any and all
money and other property paid over to or received by the Pledgee pursuant to the provisions
of this subsection (b) shall be retained by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder
and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8. If the Pledgor
shall receive any dividends, distributions or other property which it is not entitled to
receive under this Section, the Pledgor shall hold the same in trust for the Pledgee, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, without commingling the same with other funds or property of
or held by the Pledgor, and shall promptly deliver the same to the Pledgee, in the identical
form received, together with any necessary endorsements.
Exhibit X
Xxxx 7
Section 6. Remedies.
In addition to any right or remedy that the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have
under the other Loan Documents or otherwise under Applicable Law, if an
Event of Default shall exist, the Pledgee may exercise any and all the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the UCC and may otherwise sell, assign, transfer, endorse and deliver the
whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for other property, for immediate or future delivery,
and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its discretion shall deem
appropriate. With respect to any Collateral held or maintained with a securities intermediary, the
Pledgee shall be entitled to notify such securities intermediary that such securities intermediary
should follow the entitlement orders of the Pledgee and that such securities intermediary should no
longer follow entitlement orders of the Pledgor, without further consent of the Pledgee. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Pledgee shall have the right (in its sole and absolute
discretion) to register any Equity Interests which are part of the Collateral in its own name as
pledgee or the name of its nominee (as Pledgee or as sub-agent), endorsed or assigned in blank or
in favor of the Pledgee. The Pledgee shall be authorized at any sale (if it deems it advisable to
do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree
that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account in compliance with the Securities Act
and any other Applicable Law and upon consummation of any such sale the Pledgee shall have the
right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall take and hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives
(to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which the Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Applicable Law now
existing or hereafter enacted. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by Applicable Law, at least 10 days’ prior written notice to the Pledgor of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary
business hours and at such place or places as the Pledgee may fix and shall state in the notice or
publication (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof to be
sold, may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Pledgee may determine in
its sole and absolute discretion. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of the
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the
Collateral may have been given. The Pledgee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public
or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the same was so adjourned. In case the sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the sale
price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but neither the Pledgee nor the Issuing Bank
or any Lender shall incur any liability to the Pledgor in case any such purchaser or purchasers
shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such
Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public sale made pursuant to this Agreement,
the Pledgee, any Lender and any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay
and/or appraisal on the part of the Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released
to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), any part of or all the Collateral offered for sale.
For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase all or any part of the Collateral shall be
treated as a
Exhibit X
Xxxx 8
sale
thereof; the Pledgee shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and the Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of any
Collateral subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Pledgee shall have entered into
such an agreement, all Events of Default may have been remedied or the Secured Obligations may have
been paid in full as herein provided. The Pledgor hereby waives any right to require any
marshaling of assets and any similar right. In addition to exercising the power of sale herein
conferred upon it, the Pledgee shall also have the option to proceed by suit or suits at law or in
equity to foreclose this Agreement and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction. The rights and remedies of
the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights or remedies which any of them otherwise have.
Section 7. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank and
each Lender is hereby authorized by the Pledgor, at any time or from time to time during the

prior written consent of the Pledgee exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to,
indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other
indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank, such Lender or any
affiliate of the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of
the Pledgor against and on account of any of the Secured Obligations, irrespective of whether or
not any or all of the Secured Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due
and payable, and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.
Section 8. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Cash. The proceeds of any sale of the
whole or any part of the Collateral, together with any other moneys held by the Pledgee under the
provisions of this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.4 of the

remaining in respect of the Secured Obligations.

obligation of the Pledgor hereunder in the Pledgor’s name or otherwise; (b) to ask for, demand, xxx
for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due

for the same; (g) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which the Pledgor would have, but
for this Agreement, with respect to any of the Collateral; and (h) to carry out the provisions of
this Agreement and to take any action and execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, and to do all acts and things and execute
all documents in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, deemed by the Pledgee as necessary, proper
and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights
hereunder; provided, that the Pledgee shall only exercise its rights under clauses (a), (b), (d),
(e), (g) and (h) while an Event of Default exists. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
requiring or obligating the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to make any commitment or to
make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or
file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof
or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no
action taken by the Pledgee or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or any part
thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of the Pledgor or to any
claim or action against the Pledgee. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest.
Section 10. Pledgee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to
ensure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Pledgee hereunder, the Pledgee
shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and
agreed that the Pledgor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights of the Pledgor in the
Collateral. The Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Pledgee accords its own property, it being understood that
the Pledgee shall not have responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to
calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral,
whether or not the Pledgee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (b) taking any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral.
Section 11. Reimbursement of Pledgee. The Pledgor agrees to pay to the Pledgee
expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.2 of the Credit
Agreement.

Pledgee, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective predecessor, affiliate,
subsidiaries, successors and assigns, together with their past, present and future officers,
directors, agents, attorneys, financial advisors, representatives, partners, joint ventures,
affiliates and the successor and assigns of any and all of them (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (“Indemnified Amounts”) brought against or incurred by an Indemnified Person, in
any manner arising out of or, directly or indirectly, related in any way to or connected with this
Agreement, including without limitation, the exercise by the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other action taken by the
Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however,
the
Pledgor shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to
Indemnified Amounts to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment.
Exhibit X
Xxxx 10
Section 13. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, at the request of
the Pledgee, and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly and duly execute and
deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further action as
the Pledgee may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of
this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including the filing of any financing
or continuation statement under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with
respect to the security interests created hereby.
Section 14. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Pledgor in relation to
the Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the
Securities Act, or any similar Applicable Law hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (the
Securities Act and any such similar Applicable Law as from time to time in effect being called the
“Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Collateral permitted
hereunder. The Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very
strictly limit the course of conduct of the Pledgee if the Pledgee were to attempt to dispose of
all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the
extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Collateral could dispose of
the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Pledgee in
any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under
applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar Applicable Law analogous in purpose
or effect. The Pledgor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations the
Pledgee may, with respect to any sale of the Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will
agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment, and
not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in
light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may, in accordance with Applicable Law, (a) proceed to make such a sale whether or not
a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof shall have
been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) approach and negotiate with a single potential
purchaser to effect such sale. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result
in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without
such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Pledgee shall incur no responsibility or
liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof at a
price that the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable
under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might
have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than
a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the
existence of public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed
substantially the price at which the Pledgee sells.
Exhibit X
Xxxx 11
Section 15. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until it terminates
in accordance with its terms.
Section 16. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder, the
grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement
or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of the
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document, or any other agreement or
instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the
Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full of
all the Secured Obligations).
Section 17. No Waiver. Neither the failure on the part of the Pledgee, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender to exercise, nor the delay on the part of the Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder, nor any course of dealing between the
Pledgee, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, on the one hand, and the Pledgor, on the other hand, shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or
remedy hereunder preclude any other or the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy.
Section 18. Notices. Notices, requests and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be made by personal delivery, telecopy or
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the addresses and in the manner set
forth in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 19. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
Section 20. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
nor consent to any departure by the Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Exhibit X
Xxxx 12
Section 21. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
except that the Pledgor shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest
herein or in the Collateral or any part thereof and any such assignment by the Pledgor shall
be null and void absent the prior written consent of the Pledgee.
Section 22. Termination. Upon indefeasible payment in full of all of the Secured
Obligations and termination of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms, this Agreement
shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Pledgee
agrees to take such actions as the Pledgor may reasonably request, and at the sole cost and expense
of the Pledgor, to evidence the termination of this Agreement.
Section 23. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provisions
shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 24. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are
not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
Section 25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple counterparts
and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document.
Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart.

Secured Party, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as follows:
(a) Title and Liens. Grantor is, and will at all times continue to be, the
legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral. None of the Collateral is subject to any
adverse claim (as defined in the UCC) or other Lien other than Permitted Liens or other
Liens permitted under the Loan Documents.
(b) Authorization. Grantor has the right and power, and has taken all
necessary action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement in
accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, including the granting of the security interest hereunder, do not
and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both: (i) violate any
applicable law relating to Grantor; (ii) require and consent or approval of, or
authorization, order or other action by, any governmental authority or other Person (other
than those that have been obtained), (iii) violate, result in a breach of or constitute a
default under the organizational documents of Grantor, or any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which Grantor is a party or by which it or any of the Collateral of Grantor or
its other property may be bound; or (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of
any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of Grantor or Grantor’s other
property whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

to create in favor of the Secured Party, for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral to the extent
required hereunder, including all Intellectual Property. Such security interest will be
perfected upon (i) in the case of all Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC (other than any Commercial
Tort Claims not disclosed on Schedule 6 hereto), the completion of the filings and other
actions specified on Schedule 2 (which, in the case of all filings and other
documents referred to on such Schedule, have been delivered to the Secured Party in

consisting of Instruments and Certificated Securities, in each case properly endorsed for
transfer to the Secured Party or in blank, (iii) the execution of Deposit Account Control

operation of Applicable Law.
Exhibit Q
Page 9
(d) Jurisdiction of Formation, Locations, Etc. Grantor’s jurisdiction of
organization, exact legal name, organizational identification number, if any, and the
location of Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business, in each case as of

on such Schedule constitutes all of the Material Intellectual Property necessary to conduct
Grantor’s business as conducted on the date hereof or on the date of the delivery of any update to
such Schedule pursuant to Section 5(i) as conducted on the date of such update. All
Material Intellectual Property is valid, subsisting, enforceable, unexpired and in full force and
in effect. The use of Material Intellectual Property, or of embodiments thereof, does not
infringe, misappropriate, dilute or violate in any material respect the intellectual property
rights of any other Person. Grantor has taken all steps reasonably required to protect Grantor’s
rights in trade secrets constituting Intellectual Property developed by or for Grantor. This
Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on such material Intellectual Property
and, upon the filing of the Copyright Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office,
the filing of the Patent Security Agreement and the Trademark Security Agreement with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, and the filing of appropriate financing statements in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule 2 hereto, all action necessary or desirable to protect and

any Collateral, except Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under the Loan Documents,
(ii) not sell, transfer or assign (by operation of law or otherwise) any Collateral except
as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, (iii) not enter into
any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of Grantor or the Secured
Party to sell, assign or transfer, or grant any Lien in, any Collateral except as expressly
permitted under the Credit Agreement and (iv) promptly notify the Secured Party of its entry
into any agreement or assumption of undertaking that materially adversely restricts the
ability to sell, assign or transfer, or grant any Lien in, any Collateral.
(b) Maintenance of Perfection. Grantor shall maintain the security interests
created by this Agreement as perfected security interests having at least the priorities
described in Section 4(c) and shall defend such security interests and the
applicable priorities of such security interests against the claims and demands of all
Persons.
(c) Statements of Collateral. Grantor shall furnish to the Secured Party from
time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Secured Party may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Secured Party.
(d) Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, at the request of
the Secured Party, and at the sole expense of Grantor, Grantor shall promptly and duly
execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such
further action as the Secured Party may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted,
including the filing of any financing or continuation statement under the UCC (or other
similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created
hereby.
(e) Changes in Locations, Name, Etc. Unless Grantor shall have given the
Secured Party at least 30 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter time as shall be
acceptable to the Secured Party) and shall have delivered to the Secured Party all
additional financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Secured
Party to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided
for herein, Grantor shall not do any of the following:
(i) change its jurisdiction of organization or its location, in each case from
that referred to in Section 4(d); or
(ii) change its legal name or organizational identification number, if any, or
corporation, limited liability company or other organizational structure to such an
extent that any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement would
become misleading.
Exhibit Q

(f) Deposit Accounts and Control Agreements. Grantor shall deliver to the
Secured Party as often as the Secured Party may reasonably request, a listing of all of the
Deposit Accounts as of such date. To the extent requested by the Secured Party, Grantor

holding a Deposit Account. Grantor shall obtain authenticated control agreements from
each issuer of Uncertificated Securities, (if requested by the Secured Party), Securities
Intermediary, or commodities Intermediary issuing or holding any Financial Assets or
Commodities to or for Grantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, so
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party shall not
deliver a notice of control under any Deposit Account Control Agreement to the extent such
Deposit Account Control Agreement requires the delivery of such notice.
(g) Pledged Collateral. Grantor shall deliver to the Secured Party, all
certificates and Instruments representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral (including

in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, accompanied by Grantor’s
endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party. While an
Event of Default exists, the Secured Party shall have the right, at any time in its
discretion and without notice to Grantor, (A) to transfer to or to register in its name or
in the name of its nominees any Pledged Collateral and (B) to exchange any certificate or
instrument representing or evidencing any Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments
of smaller or larger denominations. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Grantor
shall not grant “control” (within the meaning of such term under Article 9-106 of the UCC)
over any Investment Property to any Person other than the Secured Party.
(h) Delivery of Instruments. If any amount in excess of $1,000,000 payable
under or in connection with any Collateral owned by Grantor shall be or become evidenced by
an Instrument, Grantor shall promptly deliver such Instrument to the Secured Party, duly
indorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, or, if consented to by
the Secured Party, shall xxxx all such Instruments with the following legend: “This writing
and the obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Secured Party, and any purchase or other transfer
of this interest is a violation of the rights of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.”

Property owned by such Grantor, such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) shall,
except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i)
continue to use each Trademark material to Grantor’s business in order to maintain such
Trademark in full force and effect with respect to each class of goods for which such

goodwill associated therewith) may become destroyed, invalidated, impaired or harmed in any
way. Grantor (either itself or through licensees) shall not do any act, or omit to do any
act, whereby any Patent owned by such Grantor that is material to Grantor’s business may
become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public. Grantor (either itself or through
licensees) (x) shall not (and shall not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do
any act or omit to do any act whereby any portion of any Copyright that is material to
Grantor’s business may become invalidated or otherwise impaired and (y) shall not (either
itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any portion of any Copyright that is
material to Grantor’s business may fall into the public domain. Grantor (either itself or
through licensees) shall not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any trade secret may
become publicly available or otherwise unprotectable. Grantor (either itself or through
licensees) shall not do any act that knowingly uses any Intellectual Property to infringe,
misappropriate, or violate the intellectual property rights of any other Person.
(ii) Protection of Intellectual Property. Grantor shall take all
reasonable actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Secured Party, including
in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency and any Internet domain name
registrar, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant
registration) and to maintain each registration of any Copyright, Trademark, Patent
or Internet domain name owned by such Grantor, the absence of which could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, including filing of applications
for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition and
interference and cancellation proceedings.
(iii) Additional Intellectual Property Documents. At the request of
the Secured Party, Grantor shall execute and deliver, with respect to registered

Section 6. Remedial Provisions.
(a) General Remedies. While an Event of Default exists, the Secured Party may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any
other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law
referred to below) to or upon Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived by Grantor), may in such circumstances forthwith
collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The
Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by the UCC and other Applicable Law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or
any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Grantor, which
right or equity is hereby waived and released by Grantor. Grantor further agrees, at the Secured
Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places
that the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire
against the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender arising out of the exercise by the
Secured Party of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at
least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
(b) Pledged Collateral. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(a)
and while an Event of Default exists, upon notice by the Secured Party to the relevant Grantor, (i)
the Secured Party shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make
application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order provided in Section 6(h) and
(ii) the Secured Party or its nominee may exercise any voting, consent, corporate and other right
pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof, all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided,
however, that the Secured Party shall have no duty to Grantor to exercise any such right,
privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In
order to permit the Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it is
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all distributions that it is entitled to
receive hereunder, (i) Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to the Secured Party all such orders and instruments as the Secured Party may from time
to time request and (ii) without limiting the immediately preceding clause (i), Grantor hereby
grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to exercise all rights, powers, privileges and
remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled, which proxy shall be
effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any
Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the
issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) while an Event of Default
exists. Grantor hereby
expressly authorizes and irrevocably instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged
hereunder by Grantor to (x) comply with any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in
writing that states that an Event of Default exists and is otherwise in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Grantor, and Grantor agrees that
such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (y) pay any payment with respect to the
Pledged Collateral directly to the Secured Party.
Exhibit Q
Page 14
(c) Writ of Possession; Receiver. Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured
Obligations arose out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that while an Event of Default exists
the Secured Party shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession with respect to the
Collateral without notice of a hearing or the requirement of posting a bond. The Secured Party
shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of Grantor, and
Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection Grantor
may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Secured Party.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Secured Party as
provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition
to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Secured Party, of any one or more of such rights,
powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Secured Party of
any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
(e) Marshaling. The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or
future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the fullest extent that it lawfully may,
Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral
which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured party’s rights and remedies
under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured
Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the fullest extent
that it lawfully may, Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
(f) Proceeds to be Turned Over To Secured Party. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Secured Party hereunder in cash or
cash equivalents shall be held by the Secured Party in as cash collateral for the Secured
Obligations. All Proceeds while held by the Secured Party as such cash collateral (or by Grantor
in trust for the Secured Party) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit
Agreement.
Exhibit Q
Page 15

subject to the terms of the Delano Management Agreement or any other applicable license agreement,
a license or other right while an Event of Default exists to use, without liability for royalties
or any other charge, Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, and all other Intellectual Property, whether owned by Grantor or with respect to which
Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements, as it pertains to collateral, in
preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and Grantor’s rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements shall insure to the benefit of the Secured Party.
(h) Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of the whole or any part of the
Collateral, together with any other moneys held by the Secured Party under the provisions of this
Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall
remain liable and will pay, on demand, any deficiency remaining in respect of the Secured
Obligations.
Section 7. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Grantor hereby constitutes and
appoints the Secured Party as the attorney-in-fact of Grantor with full power of substitution
either in the Secured Party’s name or in the name of Grantor to do any of the following: (a) to
perform any obligation of Grantor hereunder in Grantor’s name or otherwise; (b) to ask for, demand,
xxx for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due

the Collateral held by or maintained with such bank; (e) to verify facts concerning the Collateral
in such Grantor’s name, its own name or a fictitious name; (f) to endorse checks, drafts, orders
and other instruments for the payment of money payable to such Grantor, representing any payment in
respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for
the same; (g) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which Grantor would have, but for this
Agreement, with respect to any of the Collateral; and (h) to carry out the provisions of this
Agreement and to take any action and execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, and to do all acts and things and execute
all documents in the name of Grantor or otherwise, deemed by the Secured Party as necessary, proper
and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights
hereunder; provided, that the Pledgee shall only exercise its rights under clauses (a),
(b), (d), (e) and (g) while an Event of Default exists. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to make any
commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or
to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any
part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby,
and no action taken by the Secured Party or omitted to be taken with respect to the Collateral or
any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of Grantor or to
any claim or action against the Secured Party. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable
and coupled with an interest.
Exhibit Q
Page 16
Section 8. Secured Party Duties. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder
are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of itself,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Secured Party shall have no duty as to
any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties
or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have
exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession
if the Secured Party accords such Collateral treatment substantially equal to that which the
Secured Party accords its own property.
Section 9. Authorization of Financing Statements. Grantor authorizes the Secured
Party, and its counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or
record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording
documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the
Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Secured
Party under this Agreement. Grantor agrees that such financing statements and amendments may
describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all personal property of the debtor” or words of
similar effect. Grantor hereby also authorizes the Secured Party, and its counsel and other
representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to
previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument
for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to
file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing
statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured
Party, subject to Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.
Section 10. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
nor consent to any departure by Grantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, however, that Schedules to this Agreement may be supplemented through
Security Agreement Supplements executed by Grantor and accepted by the Secured Party.

the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of Grantor hereunder, shall
