Each Lender that has reimbursed the Issuing Lender pursuant to SectionΒ 2.4(c) for its Pro Rata Share of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such reimbursement, in the claim of the Issuing Lender against Borrower for reimbursement of principal and interest under this SectionΒ 2.4(d) and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender reimbursed the Issuing Lender) with respect to such claim.

Β Β Β Β (h)Β The obligation of Borrower to pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, subject only to performance by the Issuing Lender of its obligations to Borrower under Uniform Commercial Code SectionΒ 5-108. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower's obligations shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances:

If the Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate.

Β Β Β Β (a)Β Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall from time to time from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request, provided that (i)Β after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings do not exceed $15,000,000 and the aggregate of the Swing Line Outstandings, the Loans and the Aggregate Effective Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit do not exceed the Revolving Commitment, (ii)Β without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default and (iii)Β the Swing Line Lender has not given at least twenty-four hours' prior notice to Borrower that availability under the Swing Line is suspended or terminated. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section without premium or penalty. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon telephonic request by a Responsible Official of Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00Β p.m., California time, on the Business Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, availability for Loans will exist under SectionΒ 2.1(a) (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. If Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00Β p.m., California time, on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Line Outstandings each time there is a change therein and promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders if it suspends or terminates availability under the Swing Line.
Β Β Β Β (b)Β Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the Swing Line Note. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing

Β Β Β Β (d)Β Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with SectionΒ 2.10(a), each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of the Swing Line Loan. Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (except only demand made by the Swing Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share of (i)Β Swing Line Loans to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $15,000,000 or to the extent that the sum of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Notes plus the Aggregate Effective Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus the Swing Line Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Commitment or (ii)Β any Swing Line Loan made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an Event of Default. Each Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim.
Β Β Β Β (e)Β In the event that the Swing Line Outstandings are outstanding ten consecutive Business Days, then on the next Business Day (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full), Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to SectionΒ 2.1(a) sufficient to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full. In addition, upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings to $0), Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to SectionΒ 2.1(a) sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this purpose, SectionΒ 2.1(d) shall not apply). In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the responsive Advances made by each Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that Borrower fails to request such a Loan within the time specified by SectionΒ 2.2 on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, cause Advances to be made by the Lenders under the Revolving Commitment in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above. The conditions precedent set forth in ArticleΒ 9 shall not apply to Advances to be made by the Lenders pursuant to the three preceding sentences, but the Lenders shall not be obligated to make such Advances to the extent that the conditions set forth in SectionΒ 2.10(a)(i), (ii)Β and (iii)Β were not satisfied as to any Swing Line Loan which is part of such Swing Line Outstandings. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings.

Β Β Β Β (c)Β If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender's obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on either (1)Β the last day of the Eurodollar Period(s) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s) or (2)Β immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a prepayment fee under SectionΒ 3.8(e). Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.
β33β
Β Β Β Β (d)Β If, with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan:
Β Β Β Β (1)Β the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar Market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for the applicable Eurodollar Period; or
Β Β Β Β (2)Β the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i)Β does not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market in the relevant amount for the applicable Eurodollar Period, or (ii)Β will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable Eurodollar Rate Advances;
then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.
Β Β Β Β (e)Β Upon payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advance (other than as the result of a conversion required under SectionΒ 3.8(c)), on a day other than the last day in the applicable Eurodollar Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or upon the failure of Borrower (for a reason other than the breach by a Lender of its obligation pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) to make an Advance or the suspension of any Lender's obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans under SectionΒ 3.8) to borrow on the date or in the amount specified for a Eurodollar Rate Loan in any Request for Loan, Borrower shall pay to the appropriate Lender within ten Business Days after demand a prepayment fee or failure to borrow fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of the Eurodollar Rate Advance had been funded in the Designated Eurodollar Market) equal to the sum of:
Β Β Β Β (1)Β the principal amount of the Eurodollar Rate Advance prepaid or not borrowed, as the case may be, times the sum of the number of days from and including the date of prepayment or failure to borrow, as applicable, to but excluding the last day in the applicable Eurodollar Period, divided by 360, times the applicable Interest Differential (provided that the product of the foregoing formula must be a positive number); plus
Β Β Β Β (2)Β all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.
Each Lender's determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to clauseΒ (a) or clauseΒ (b) of this SectionΒ 3.8, and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this SectionΒ 3.8 shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrower, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the Lender.
Β Β Β Β 3.9Β Β Late Payments.Β Β During the existence of an Event of Default, upon written notice to Borrower from the Administrative Agent (with the approval of the Requisite Lenders), and in any event if any principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, (a)Β the Loans shall thereafter bear
β34β
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i)Β the interest rate specified in Sections 3.1(b) or 3.1(c), whichever is applicable, plus (ii)Β 2%, and (b)Β each other Obligation shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin plus 2%, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be payable on demand and shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
Β Β Β Β 3.10Β Β Computation of Interest and Fees.Β Β Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans and on Swing Line Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366Β days and actual numbers of days elapsed. Computation of interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360Β days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.
Β Β Β Β 3.11Β Β Non-Business Days.Β Β If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.
Β Β Β Β 3.12Β Β Manner and Treatment of Payments.Β Β
Β Β Β Β (a)Β Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.7, 3.8, 12.3, 12.11 and 12.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00Β a.m. California time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day). All payments received after such time, on any Business Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00Β a.m., California time, on a Business Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.
Β Β Β Β (b)Β Each payment or prepayment on account of any Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Lender comprising such Loan.
Β Β Β Β (c)Β Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and, subject to SectionΒ 11.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower's obligation to pay the Obligations.
Β Β Β Β (d)Β Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and Borrower shall assure that each payment made by any other Party under any other Loan Document) shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or
β35β
comparable authority, excluding (i)Β taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income by (A)Β any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B)Β any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business" and (ii)Β any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which that Lender has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by SectionΒ 12.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws whether or not such Lender was legally entitled to provide such form or forms (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall (i)Β make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii)Β pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender's receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrower.
Β Β Β Β 3.13Β Β Funding Sources.Β Β Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.
Β Β Β Β 3.14Β Β Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver.Β Β Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under SectionΒ 3.9), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under SectionΒ 3.9), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.
Β Β Β Β 3.15Β Β Administrative Agent's Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower.Β Β Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender's share of such assumed payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.
Β Β Β Β 3.16Β Β Fee Determination Detail.Β Β The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under ArticleΒ 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment.
Β Β Β Β 3.17Β Β Survivability.Β Β All of Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.7 and 3.8 shall survive for the ninety day period following the date on which the Commitments are terminated and all Loans hereunder are fully paid, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such Sections made by any Lender to Borrower prior to the expiration of such period.

Β Β Β Β (c)Β Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or any of them, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and any other Party and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.
Β Β Β Β (d)Β In addition to any other rights and remedies, if an Event of Default occurs prior to the Completion Date, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to (i)Β obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Project (and Borrower agrees not to contest the appointment of such receiver except in good faith) and (ii)Β take such steps as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to complete construction of the Project, including making any changes to the Construction Plans, Construction Budget or Construction Timetable and/or terminating or amending any of the Architect Contracts,
β60β
Construction Contracts or any other contract or arrangement related to the Project; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any breach of contract resulting from any such change, termination or amendment. Any such action shall not be construed as an assumption of responsibility by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to complete the Project, and such steps may be discontinued at any time. Any such action shall not be construed to make the Administrative Agent or the Lenders a partner or joint venturer with Borrower. All amounts expended by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the completion of the Project shall be deemed additional Advances and shall be secured by the Collateral Documents.
Β Β Β Β (e)Β The order and manner in which the Lenders' rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent and of the Lenders, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate payment Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate payment Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing Borrower's payment Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments of the proceeds from the exercise of the Lenders' rights and remedies shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due the Lenders under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. No application of payments of the proceeds from the exercise of the Lenders' rights and remedies will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity for the collection or recovery of all unpaid payment Obligations.

ArticleΒ 11
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Β Β Β Β 11.1Β Β Appointment and Authorization.Β Β Subject to SectionΒ 11.8, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, except as specifically set forth in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.
Β Β Β Β 11.2Β Β Administrative Agent and Affiliates.Β Β Bank of America, N.A. (and each successor Administrative Agent) has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" includes Bank of America, N.A. in its individual capacity. Bank of America, N.A. (and each successor Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Bank of America, N.A. (and each successor Administrative Agent) need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as Administrative Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β 11.3Β Β Proportionate Interest in any Collateral.Β Β The Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of any collateral or interests therein received or held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with SectionΒ 10.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the Lenders' interest in the Collateral or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders, except that Obligations owed to any Lender (or Affiliate of a Lender) under a Secured Swap Agreement shall be secured on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations up to an amount equal to the Administrative Agent's then customary credit risk factor for Swap Agreements times the notional amount of Indebtedness covered by such Secured Swap Agreement and shall be secured on a subordinate basis as to amounts in excess of such amount.
Β Β Β Β 11.4Β Β Lenders' Credit Decisions.Β Β Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the
β62β
Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β 11.5Β Β Action by Administrative Agent.Β Β
Β Β Β Β (a)Β Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent (or the Lender that is then the Administrative Agent) has received notice from Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.
Β Β Β Β (b)Β The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.
Β Β Β Β (c)Β Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by SectionΒ 12.2) and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β (d)Β If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified in clauseΒ (a), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by SectionΒ 12.2), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that if the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under SectionΒ 12.2) fail, for ten Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β (e)Β The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under SectionΒ 12.2), notwithstanding any other provision hereof.
Β Β Β Β 11.6Β Β Liability of Administrative Agent.Β Β Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:
Β Β Β Β (a)Β May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that Lender's interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Lender.
Β Β Β Β (b)Β May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries or the Lenders,
β63β
and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts.
Β Β Β Β (c)Β Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β (d)Β Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any Collateral or the Property, books or records of Borrower or its Subsidiaries.
Β Β Β Β (e)Β Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any Collateral.
Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Will not incur any liability to any Lender by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
Β Β Β Β (g)Β Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or payable by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, principal, interest, commitment fees, Advances and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower and/or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred.
Β Β Β Β 11.7Β Β Indemnification.Β Β Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (if the Commitments are then in effect) or in accordance with its proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes (if the Commitments have then been terminated), indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents, the Documentation Agent and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents and the Documentation Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent of Co-Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender's Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower or any other Party is required by SectionΒ 12.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such amount.
β64β
Β Β Β Β 11.8Β Β Successor Administrative Agent.Β Β The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by Borrower (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this ArticleΒ 11, and Sections 12.3, 12.11 and 12.22, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a)Β the Administrative Agent has not been paid its agency fees under SectionΒ 3.6 or has not been reimbursed for any expense reimbursable to it under SectionΒ 12.3, in either case for a period of at least one year and (b)Β no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.
Β Β Β Β 11.9Β Β Foreclosure on Collateral.Β Β In the event of foreclosure or enforcement of the Lien created by any of the Collateral Documents, title to the Collateral covered thereby shall be taken and held by the Administrative Agent (or an Affiliate or designee thereof) pro rata for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the Obligations outstanding to each of them and shall be administered in accordance with the standard form of collateral holding participation agreement used by the Administrative Agent in comparable syndicated credit facilities, which form shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Lenders.
Β Β Β Β 11.10Β Β Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements.Β Β The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (but shall not be obligated to), to execute and deliver Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements substantially in the form of ExhibitΒ G hereto with Borrower, any relevant Subsidiaries thereof and their commercial tenants without prior notice to or consent by the Lenders, and may following not less than two Business Day's notice to each Lender with a copy of the proposed agreement (unless the Requisite Lenders object thereto during such period), enter into Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements and other related agreements which are in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β 11.11Β Β No Obligations of Borrower.Β Β Nothing contained in this ArticleΒ 11 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower's obligations to the Lenders in respect
β65β
of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement.
Β Β Β Β 12.1Β Β Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.Β Β The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of ArticleΒ 9 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived as provided in SectionΒ 12.2 in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.
Β Β Β Β 12.2Β Β Amendments; Consents.Β Β No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a Party, signed by each such Party, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement to ArticleΒ 11, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the Lenders affected thereby, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:
Β Β Β Β (a)Β To (i)Β change the principal of, or the amount of principal of, or the amount of principal prepayments of, any Note or to forgive or reduce the amount of any reimbursement payments due with respect to any Letter or Credit, (ii)Β decrease the rate of interest payable on any Note without the consent of the holder thereof, (iii)Β increase the amount or percentage of the Pro Rata Share of any Lender or decrease the amount of any commitment fee payable to any Lender, in each case without the consent of that Lender, or (iv)Β decrease the amount of any other fee or amount payable to any Lender under the Loan Documents without the consent of that Lender, or (v)Β waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any commitment fee;
Β Β Β Β (b)Β To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Note (including the Swing Line Note), any amount payable to reimburse any drawing under any Letter of Credit or any installment of any commitment fee, or to extend the term of either of the Commitments.
Β Β Β Β (c)Β To release or amend the Completion Guaranty, the Make-Well Agreement, the Greenspun Pledge Agreement, the Indemnity Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, or any material portion of the Collateral, or amend any provision of the Loan Agreement, the amendment of which would have the effect of deferring or reducing any payment which would otherwise become due under the Make-Well Agreement, except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document (provided that the Administrative Agent is authorized to release the Lien created by the Collateral Documents on (i)Β assets secured by Indebtedness permitted by SectionΒ 6.9(f), (ii)Β assets which are the subject of a Disposition permitted by SectionΒ 6.1, and (iii)Β assets the sale, transfer or other
β66β
disposition of which is not a Disposition, and shall do so upon request of Borrower subject to such reasonable and customary requirements as the Administrative Agent may specify);
Β Β Β Β (d)Β To amend the provisions of the definition of "Reduction Amount," "Reduction Date," "Requisite Lenders," "Maturity Date," "Quarterly Payment Date" or "Completion Date"; or
Β Β Β Β (e)Β To amend or waive this SectionΒ 12.2, or Sections 6.4, 11.9 or 12.10; or
Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β It is further agreed that the approval of Lenders having Pro Rata shares of at least 80% of the Commitments shall be required for any waiver or amendment of the provisions of this Agreement requiring the Completion Date to occur prior to FebruaryΒ 1, 2002 and which amendment or waiver is occasioned or caused by the failure of the Completion Date to occur prior to FebruaryΒ 1, 2002 which results in whole or in part from the Project not being "Legally Open" (as defined in the Completion Guaranty) on that date due to the Project not having the requisite Entitlements (as defined in the Indemnity). Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this SectionΒ 12.2 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
Β Β Β Β 12.3Β Β Costs, Expenses and Taxes.Β Β Borrower shall pay within five Business Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof. Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof. Such costs and expenses shall also include, in the case of any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document requested by Borrower, the administrative costs of the Administrative Agent reasonably attributable thereto. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (i)Β taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income imposed on it by (A)Β any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (B)Β any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business" or (ii)Β any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by SectionΒ 12.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in 12.11 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under
β67β
this SectionΒ 12.3 shall bear interest from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.
Β Β Β Β 12.4Β Β Nature of Lenders' Obligations.Β Β The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. Each Lender's obligation to make any Advance pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, and in the case of the initial Advance only is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their obligations to make initial Advances. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, to replace such a Lender in default.
Β Β Β Β 12.5Β Β Survival of Representations and Warranties.Β Β All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.
Β Β Β Β 12.6Β Β Notices.Β Β Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this Section, and with a copy to all persons designated on such signature pages as being entitled to copies. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of receipt, if given by mail; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered.
Β Β Β Β 12.7Β Β Execution of Loan Documents.Β Β Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a)Β this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b)Β execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.
Β Β Β Β 12.8Β Β Binding Effect; Assignment.Β Β
Β Β Β Β (a)Β This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a Party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all
β68β
the Lenders. Any attempted assignment by Borrower in contravention of this SectionΒ 12.8(a) shall be null and void. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Notes with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Notes must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.
Β Β Β Β (b)Β From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided that (i)Β such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii)Β such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment Agreement, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii)Β except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitments of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share of the Commitments that is equivalent to less than $3,000,000, and (iv)Β the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment Agreement, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment Agreement. Upon the effective date of such Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share therein set forth and, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrower of its relevant Notes) to such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender's Pro Rata Share, and to the assigning Lender, a Note or Notes evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, if any, retained by the assigning Lender.
Β Β Β Β (c)Β By executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i)Β other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii)Β the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance by Borrower of the Obligations; (iii)Β it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to SectionΒ 8.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment Agreement; (iv)Β it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v)Β it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi)Β it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
Β Β Β Β (d)Β The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share held by each Lender, giving effect to each
β69β
Assignment Agreement. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. After receipt of a completed Assignment Agreement executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, notify the Borrower of the effectiveness thereof. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Share listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Pro Rata Share shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Share shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Share.
Β Β Β Β (e)Β Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more Lenders or other financial institutions (including another Lender) in a portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that (i)Β such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Borrower in writing at least five Business Days in advance of granting such a participation, which notice shall identify the proposed participant, (ii)Β the proposed participant (if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the granting Lender) shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii)Β such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iv)Β such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (v)Β the participating Lenders or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, 12.3, 12.11 and 12.22 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation, (vi)Β Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vii)Β the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitments, or in the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (viii)Β the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (A)Β extend any Reduction Date, the Maturity Date or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to the Lenders, (B)Β reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or any other monetary amount payable to the Lenders, (C)Β reduce the amount of any installment of principal due under the Notes in which such participant has an interest, or (D)Β release the Completion Guaranty, the Make-Well Agreement, the Greenspun Pledge Agreement, or any material portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise expressly provided for in any Loan Document).
Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Notwithstanding anything in this SectionΒ 12.8 to the contrary, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, their Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, and to compliance with applicable securities laws.
Β Β Β Β 12.9Β Β Right of Setoff.Β Β If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) may (a)Β exercise its rights under ArticleΒ 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and
β70β
(b)Β to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations.
Β Β Β Β 12.10Β Β Sharing of Setoffs.Β Β Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, Lender's lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a)Β the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b)Β such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender's share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this SectionΒ 12.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.
Β Β Β Β 12.11Β Β Indemnity by Borrower.Β Β Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Co-Agents, the Documentation Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against: (a)Β any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the definition of "Taxes" in SectionΒ 3.12(d)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b)Β any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauseΒ (a) above; and (c)Β any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower's obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower's right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle
β71β
or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower's prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this SectionΒ 12.11 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this SectionΒ 12.11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β 12.12Β Β Nonliability of the Lenders.Β Β Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
Β Β Β Β (a)Β Any inspections of any Property of Borrower made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);
Β Β Β Β (b)Β By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;
Β Β Β Β (c)Β The relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and
Β Β Β Β (d)Β The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates
β72β
and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in SectionΒ 12.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.
Β Β Β Β 12.13Β Β No Third Parties Benefitted.Β Β This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 12.8, 12.11, and 12.14 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.
Β Β Β Β 12.14Β Β Confidentiality.Β Β Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from Borrower, Station, GCR Gaming and their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a)Β to other Lenders; (b)Β to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower, Station, GCR Gaming, their Affiliates or any Lender; (c)Β to other professional advisors to Borrower, Station, GCR Gaming, their Affiliates or any Lender, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement with provisions substantially similar to this SectionΒ 12.14; (d)Β to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e)Β to any Gaming Board having regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower or its Subsidiaries or over Station, GCR Gaming or their respective Affiliates, provided that each Lender agrees to notify the affected party of any such disclosure unless prohibited by applicable Laws; (f)Β as required by Law or legal process, provided that each Lender agrees to notify the affected party of any such disclosures unless prohibited by applicable Laws, or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and Borrower, GCR Gaming, Station or their respective Affiliates are adverse parties; (g)Β to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement with provisions substantially similar to this SectionΒ 12.14; (h)Β to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners; and (i)Β to a nationally-recognized credit rating agency provided that each Lender agrees to notify the affected party of any such disclosures. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting a Person reasonably considered by that Person to be confidential, other than (i)Β information previously filed with any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii)Β information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and (iii)Β information previously disclosed by that Person to any other Person not associated with the disclosing Person without a confidentiality agreement or obligation substantially similar to this SectionΒ 12.14. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Person.
Β Β Β Β 12.15Β Β Further Assurances.Β Β Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Collateral Document.
Β Β Β Β 12.16Β Β Integration.Β Β This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and the letter agreements referred to in Sections 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
β73β
Β Β Β Β 12.17Β Β Governing Law.Β Β Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of California applicable to contracts made and performed in California.
Β Β Β Β 12.18Β Β Severability of Provisions.Β Β Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
Β Β Β Β 12.19Β Β Headings.Β Β Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.
Β Β Β Β 12.20Β Β Time of the Essence.Β Β Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β 12.21Β Β Foreign Lenders and Participants.Β Β Each Lender that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or before the Closing Date (or on or before accepting an assignment or receiving a participation interest herein pursuant to SectionΒ 12.8, if applicable) two duly completed copies, signed by a Responsible Official, of a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W8-ECI or such other evidence (including, if reasonably necessary, FormΒ W-9) satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that no withholding under the federal income tax laws is required with respect to such Lender. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender shall (a)Β promptly submit to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (b)Β take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Eurodollar Lending Office, if any) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. In the event that Borrower or the Administrative Agent becomes aware that a participation has been granted pursuant to SectionΒ 12.8(e) to a financial institution that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, upon request made by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Lender which granted such participation, such Lender shall cause such participant financial institution to deliver the same documents and information to Borrower and the Administrative Agent as would be required under this Section if such financial institution were a Lender. The foregoing three sentences of this SectionΒ 12.21 apply to any Lender that is a "bank" within the meaning of SectionΒ 88(c)(3)(A) of the Code. With respect to any Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of SectionΒ 88(c)(3)(A) of the Code that intends to claim exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under SectionΒ 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payment of "portfolio interest," such a Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a FormΒ W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a FormΒ W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" for purposes of SectionΒ 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of SectionΒ 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of SectionΒ 864(d)(4) of the Code), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments of interest by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
β74β
Β Β Β Β 12.22Β Β Hazardous Material Indemnity.Β Β Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower), arising directly or indirectly out of (i)Β the presence on, in, under or about any Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (ii)Β any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower or any of its predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Real Property, in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any Real Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous Materials on any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower under this Section (and under Sections 4.18 and 5.10) shall be unlimited corporate obligations of Borrower and shall not be secured by any Lien on any Real Property. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this SectionΒ 12.22 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β 12.23Β Β Gaming Compliance.Β Β
Β Β Β Β (a)Β The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agree to cooperate with all Gaming Boards in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Board relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β (b)Β This Agreement and all other Loan Documents are subject to the Gaming Laws. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders acknowledge and understand that (a)Β they are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Boards, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability as a lender to a gaming licensee; (b)Β all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Collateral (including Member Pledged Collateral) and the ownership and operation of gaming facilities may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws; and (c)Β all provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relative to Collateral (including Member Pledged Collateral) and the ownership and operation of gaming facilities are intended to be subject to the Gaming Laws and to be limited solely to the extent necessary to not render the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.
β75β
Β Β Β Β (c)Β Subject to the release of any Collateral as contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent (or one or more agents or sub-agents of the Administrative Agent) shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, retain possession of all Member Pledged Collateral delivered to it within the State of Nevada at a location designated to the Gaming Boards.
Β Β Β Β 12.24Β Β Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.Β Β EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Β Β Β Β 12.25Β Β Purported Oral Amendments.Β Β BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 12.2. BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 12.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
