of the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and any New Mezzanine Loan amongst each other (or any one of them), provided that (a) the aggregate stated principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and the New Mezzanine Loans on the date of such adjustment (and the creation of the New Mezzanine Loan) shall equal the aggregate stated principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and the New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately prior to such adjustment, (b) Lender shall have the right to adjust the interest rate spread on the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and the New Mezzanine Loan(s), provided that the weighted average spread of the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and the New Mezzanine Loan(s) on the date of such adjustment shall equal the weighted average spread which was applicable to the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loans (and the New Mezzanine Loans, if applicable) immediately prior to such adjustment (it being acknowledged that the weighted average spread will remain constant except in connection with the application of principal to such new notes or modified notes following the occurrence of an Event of Default), and (c) the terms and provisions of each of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loans (and the New Mezzanine Loans, if applicable) shall otherwise remain unchanged. In connection with any New Mezzanine Loan, (i) Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Borrower”) and the applicable organizational documents of Mortgage Borrower and each Mezzanine Borrower (and of each previously created New Mezzanine Borrower, if applicable) shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Borrower; (ii) Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine Borrowers (and each previously created New Mezzanine Borrower, if applicable) shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be requested by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, to the extent applicable, the Rating Agencies, including, without limitation, (x) revised title insurance policies, mezzanine endorsements, UCC policies and Interest Rate Protection Agreements, (y) in connection with the creation of any New Mezzanine Loan, a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence such New Mezzanine Loan, and (z) such amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Loan Documents (and the loan documents of any previously created New Mezzanine Borrower, if applicable) as are reasonably necessary in connection with the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan (provided that such amendments do not or would not (i) materially decrease the rights of the Mortgage Borrower or Mezzanine Borrowers (and any previously created New Mezzanine Borrowers, if applicable), or, absent an Event of Default, materially increase the obligations of the Mortgage Borrower or the Mezzanine Borrowers (and any previously created New Mezzanine Borrowers, if applicable), as the case may be, under such borrower’s applicable loan documents, or (ii) absent an Event of Default, expose the Mortgage Borrower or any of the Mezzanine Borrowers (or any previously created New Mezzanine Borrowers, if applicable) to additional costs or increased risk of any liability under such borrower’s applicable loan documents (beyond that or greater than that existing in the existing loan documents on the date hereof)); (iii) Lender shall have received opinions of legal counsel with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of the amended Mortgage Loan Documents, the amended Mezzanine Loan Documents and the loan documents for the New Mezzanine Loan, as appropriate, and additional or updated nonconsolidation opinions for the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and each such New Mezzanine Loan, as appropriate, each in form reasonably acceptable to Lender and prospective investors and in form acceptable to the Rating Agencies; and (iv) Lender shall pay the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees incurred by Borrower in connection with any of the foregoing matters.

Section 2.2. Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Generally. Except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, interest on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time shall accrue from the Original Closing Date up to and including the Maturity Date (including, without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through the end of the Interest Period during which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond the Maturity Date)) at the Applicable Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan existing on the commencement of an Interest Period shall accrue for the entire Interest Period and shall be owed by Borrower for the entire Interest Period regardless of whether any principal portion of the Loan is repaid prior to the expiration of such Interest Period.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate. (a) The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3(c) or Section 2.2.3(f).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.

-59-

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

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

(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder and the events giving rise thereto affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law.

-60-

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

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

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

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

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined in good faith by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(h) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes or other amounts incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

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

-61-

2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any material additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its sole, but reasonable discretion.

2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) On or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Original Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the required Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly with Lender (or into an account or otherwise as directed by Lender) any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement unless and until otherwise instructed by Lender (it being agreed as between Lender and Borrower that Lender will so instruct the Counterparty at such time as the Debt shall no longer exist, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Collateral is transferred by secured party sale or otherwise), (iv) shall be for a period equal to the

-62-

initial term of the Loan and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be paid directly into an account pledged to Lender as provided above in this Section 2.2.7). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts contained in the foregoing pledged account shall be released to Borrower on a monthly basis to the extent not applied toward debt service on the Loan.

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

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

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

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

-63-

(f) In connection with any prepayment of the Loan, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may reduce the amount of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement (so that the same shall be in an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan following such prepayment), provided that such reduction shall not affect any of the other terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or Lender’s rights in respect thereof).

Section 2.3. Loan Payment.

2.3.1 Payments Generally. On the Original Closing Date Borrower made a payment to Lender of interest accruing hereunder during the period from the Original Closing Date up to and including February 14, 2008, calculated in the manner set forth herein, and on the Payment Date occurring in March 2008 and on each Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest accruing hereunder during the entire Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs, calculated in the manner set forth herein. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever. Each payment shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

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

2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of one percent (1%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment; provided, however, that, except with respect to the payment of any monthly Debt Service payments with respect to which no notice or demand shall be required, no such late payment charge shall be due unless such payment of principal, interest or other sum shall be delinquent for more than five (5) Business Days following the date of demand therefor. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment.

-64-

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole or in part, provided, the following conditions are satisfied:

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

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

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

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

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

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

-65-

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

(h) if such prepayment is made on or prior to the Spread Maintenance Outside Date, then in connection with any such prepayment, Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, the Spread Maintenance Premium in respect of such prepayment.

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

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments from Net Proceeds. (a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Individual Property, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the denominator is the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan and the Other Mezzanine Loans times (ii) the Net Proceeds, together with interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs (with the balance of the Net Proceeds to be paid over to the Ninth Mezzanine Lender, for application in accordance with the Ninth Mezzanine Loan Agreement), and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 100% of the Net Proceeds. No Spread Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a). Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. Following the prepayment made as described in this Section 2.4.2(a), the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property, as set forth in this Agreement, shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Any prepayment of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a) shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

-66-

(b) In the event of (i) a Transfer of any Individual Property or any Senior Mezzanine Collateral in connection with the realization thereon following a Mortgage Loan Default or a Senior Mezzanine Loan Default, as applicable, (ii) any refinancing of any Individual Property, any Senior Mezzanine Collateral, any Senior Mezzanine Loan or the Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be remitted directly to Lender (or as directed by Lender). On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such payment occurs. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be remitted to Ninth Mezzanine Lender (or to an account designated by Ninth Mezzanine Lender). Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(b) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. A Spread Maintenance Premium or fee may be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(b) if made prior to the Spread Maintenance Outside Date. Following the prepayment made as described in this Section 2.4.2(b), the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property, as set forth in this Agreement, shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Any prepayment of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(b) shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

(c) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of any Individual Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of any Individual Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.4.2(c) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of any Individual Property set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or any other Person and accepted by Lender or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, (a) all accrued and unpaid interest at the Default Rate (including, without limitation, (i) in the event that such prepayment is received on a Payment Date or on any date in any Interest Period prior to a Payment Date, interest accruing (at the Default Rate) on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such payment occurs, or (ii) in the event that such prepayment is received on a date after a Payment Date up to (and including) the last day of the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs, interest accruing (at the Default Rate) on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which the next Payment Date occurs, (b) the Spread Maintenance Premium, if such prepayment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance Outside Date, and (c) any and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Any payment under this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied in such order, priority and proportions as Lender may direct in its sole and absolute discretion.

-67-

Section 2.5. Release of Collateral. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release or assignment of any Lien of the Pledge Agreement on the Collateral.

2.5.1 Release of Individual Property. Concurrently with the release of an Individual Property from the Lien of the Mortgage (and related Mortgage Loan Documents) pursuant to Section 2.5.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (a “Release” and such Individual Property, a “Release Property”), Borrower may obtain the release of the related Individual Borrower with an indirect ownership interest in such Individual Property (a “Release Borrower”) and such Release Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Release Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to all or any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents and may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted and enacted by the State or States where any of the Collateral is located against Borrower and any or all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.2. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, but in compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed upon, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof,

-134-

in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. The Severed Loan Documents shall (a) not increase the aggregate stated principal amount of the Loan, (b) provide that the weighted average spread of the Loan on the date of such severance shall equal the weighted average spread which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such severance (Borrower acknowledging that such Severed Loan Document may, in connection with the application of principal to the amounts evidenced by such Severed Loan Documents, subsequently cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified notes to change), (c) not adversely affect the overall economics to Borrower of the Loan, taken as a whole, or (d) expose Borrower to any additional costs or increased risk of any liability (beyond that or greater than that existing in the Loan Documents in effect on the date hereof).

(d) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly,

-135-

concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(e) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender to enter upon any Individual Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in any Individual Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.2, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Senior Mezzanine Loan Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower or Senior Mezzanine Borrower and without releasing Senior Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation under the Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Senior Mezzanine Loan Event of Default, make, do or perform any obligation of Senior Mezzanine Borrower under Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Senior Mezzanine Loan Event of Default or such failed payment or act shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower and without releasing Mortgage Borrower from any obligation under the Mortgage Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, make, do or perform any obligation of Mortgage

-136-

Borrower under Mortgage Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Mortgage Loan Event of Default or such failed payment or act shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

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

Section 8.3. Intentionally Omitted.

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

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1. Sale of Notes and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:

(a) provide or cause Mortgage Borrower and Senior Mezzanine Borrower to provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

-137-

(b) cooperate in good faith in the preparation of descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower, Holdings and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;

(c) deliver, if required or requested by any Rating Agency, (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral, Principal, Holdings and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(d) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect any of the Properties, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(e) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan, provided that, (i) the aggregate stated principal amount of the notes, following such amendments or deliver of new or component notes, shall equal the aggregate stated principal amount of the Loan immediately prior thereto, (ii) the weighted average spread of the Loan on the date of such amendment or delivery of new or component notes shall equal the weighted average spread which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such adjustment (Borrower acknowledging that such new notes or modified notes may, in connection with the application of principal to such new notes or modified note following the occurrence of an Event of Default, but not otherwise, subsequently cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified notes to change and (iii) the provisions of Section 2.1.5 otherwise shall apply to any such amendments and delivery of new or component notes (such provisions being incorporated herein by this reference);

(f) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding any of the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Principal, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral, Holdings, the Operating Company and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and

-138-

(g) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws (to the extent in Borrower’s possession, or in the possession of Borrower’s advisors, agents or employees), including, without limitation, if applicable, information necessary to comply with any applicable reporting or information requirements under Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 or Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.

Lender and Borrower each shall pay their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, legal fees in connection with any of the foregoing matters; except that all costs and expenses of Lender and Borrower associated with any restructuring of the Loan requested by Lender, including under Sections 2.1.5, 2.1.6 and 2.1.7, shall be paid solely by Lender.

Section 9.2. Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects to the extent in Borrower’s possession.

(b) Borrower agrees to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) Borrower has carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Collateral,” “Description of the Mezzanine Loans,” “The Operating Company,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mezzanine Loans,” and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral and/or Operating Company) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) indemnifying Lender, each Noteholder, JPM (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of JPM or a Noteholder that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of JPM or a Noteholder that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses for

-139-

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

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

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify Borrower thereof, Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Borrower to an Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, Borrower shall

-140-

not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to Borrower, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.

(e) Without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person in question (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given such Indemnified Person reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(f) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) Borrower agrees that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.

-141-

(g) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrower further agrees that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.

(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and Borrower under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

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

Section 9.3. Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender and each Noteholder to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any Guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) intentionally omitted; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Collateral; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

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

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

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

(viii) in the event of: (A) Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (B) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law by any Person in which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, agents or employees colludes with or such other Person, or Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor from any Person; (C) Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating

-143-

Company or any Guarantor filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it by any other Person, other than Lender, under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (D) Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor or any of the Properties, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral or any portion thereof, other than at the request of Lender; or (E) Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor making an assignment for the benefit of creditors (other than Lender), or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due;

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

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

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

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

Section 9.4. Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement (arising in connection with the Securitization) and the payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, and, unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of all fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Servicer resulting from any Borrower requests (for approvals or otherwise) to Servicer.

(b) In the event of a Securitization or syndication, the grant of participations in the Loan or any secondary marketing by Lender, Mortgage Borrower and the Mezzanine Borrowers, collectively may rely upon approvals or consents given by one (1) agent or representative in respect of the Mortgage Lender and the Mezzanine Lenders for the matter in question (which such parties shall designate, and pending further notice from Lender, such agent shall be JPM). Borrower shall only pay legal fees for the outside counsel of one Servicer.

Section 9.5. Assignments and Participations. (a) In addition to the rights Lender has under Section 9.1, Lender shall have the right, subject to this Section 9.5, to assign, sell, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate all or any portion of their rights and obligations hereunder (a “Syndication”). Except in connection with a Securitization, no Lender shall assign, sell, negotiate, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights in and to the Loan to any other Person (an “Assignee”) (a) other than in compliance with Section 9.9 hereof; and (b) unless such transaction shall be an assignment of a constant (and not varying), ratable percentage of such Lender’s interest in the Loan; provided, however, any Lender shall have the right at any time without the consent of or notice to any other Lender or other Person to grant a security interest in all or any portion of such Lender’s interest in the Loan to any Federal Reserve Bank or the central reserve bank or similar authority of any other country to secure any obligation of such Lender to such bank or similar authority (a “Central Bank Pledge”). Effective on any such assignment and assumption by the assignee and on compliance with Section 9.9 hereof, the assigning Lender shall have no further liability hereunder with respect to the interest of such Lender that was the subject of such transfer and such Assignee shall be a Lender with respect to such interest, and Borrower shall have the same rights as to such Assignee with respect to such interest from and after the date of such assignment as if such Lender were an original Lender hereunder. Except for a Central Bank Pledge or financing transaction under a repurchase agreement, a Lender making any such assignment shall notify Borrower of same, specifying the Assignee thereof and the amount of the assignment and shall provide such other detail as Borrower may reasonably request to substantiate compliance with the foregoing.

Section 9.6. Participation. Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (A) Lender’s obligations under

-145-

this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 (subject to requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Noteholder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.5. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 9.7. Borrower’s Facilitation of Transfer. In order to facilitate permitted assignments and other transfers to Assignees and sales to Participants, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender and shall cause Guarantor to execute and deliver to Lender such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lender may reasonably require, including, if required by Lender, supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of such Lender’s Note against surrender of the prior notes, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns or registered participants,(ii) be dated as of the date hereof, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date. Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Notes and not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes but exclude any Note it replaces. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documents, instruments or agreements shall not (a) increase the obligations or liabilities of any such Person hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in excess of the obligations or liabilities intended to be provided herein or in the other Loan Documents or (b) decrease such Person’s rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to less than what they were prior to the execution of such documents, instruments or agreements. In addition, Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender, including providing such information and documentation regarding Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Holdings, the Operating Company and any other Person as Lender or any potential Assignee or Participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Assignees and Participants upon reasonable notice. Lender and Borrower each shall pay their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, legal fees in connection with any of the foregoing matters, except that all costs and expenses of Lender and Borrower associated with any restructuring of the Loan requested by Lender, including under Section 2.1.5, 2.1.6 and 2.1.7, shall be paid solely by Lender.

Section 9.8. Notice; Registration Requirement. No Syndication of any part of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan shall be effective or permitted under Section 9.5 until (a) an assignment and acceptance agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) with respect to such Syndication shall have been delivered to Lender, (b) Lender shall have registered such Assignee’s name and address in the Register which Lender maintains for the recordation of the names, addresses and interests of Noteholders, and

-146-

(c) if such Assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, such Assignee shall deliver any tax forms required hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. This Section 9.8 shall not apply to any Central Bank Pledge.

Section 9.9. Registry. Borrower hereby designates Lender to serve as Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 9.9, to maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Assignee, and the principal amount of the Loan (or portions thereof) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, its interest in the Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by Lender with respect to ownership of such Loan and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Note shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of a transfer of all or part of the Loan shall be recorded by Lender on the Register only upon the acceptance by Lender of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Acceptance by the assignor and assignee. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower from time to time. At the assigning Lender’s option, concurrently with the delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which an interest of such Lender in the Loan was assigned to such Assignee, the assigning Lender shall surrender to Borrower its Note, if any, evidencing the portion of the Loan corresponding to the interest so transferred and Borrower shall deliver to Lender one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount issued to the assigning Lender and/or the Assignee.

Section 9.10. Cooperation in Syndication. Borrower agrees to assist the Lender in completing a Syndication satisfactory to the Lender. Such assistance shall include (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of Borrower and the proposed Assignees and/or Participants, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with the Lender, of one or more meetings of prospective Assignees and/or Participants, (iv) the delivery of appraisals satisfactory to the Lender if required. To assist the Lender in its Syndication efforts, Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to the Lender all information with respect to Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Holdings, the Operating Company, Guarantor, the Collateral, the Senior Mezzanine Collateral and the Properties contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as the Lender may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Loan. If required in connection with the Syndication, Borrower hereby agrees to:

(a) deliver updated financial and operating statements and other information reasonably required by the Lender to facilitate the Syndication;

(b) use reasonable efforts to deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to the Lender with respect to the environmental assessments and reports delivered to the Lender prior to the Original Closing Date (or, with respect to each Swap Property, prior to the Closing Date), which will run to the Lender and its successors and assigns;

-147-

(c) execute modifications to the Loan Documents required by the Lender, provided that such modification will not (except as set forth in (d)) change any material or economic terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (except to a de minimis extent); and

(d) if the Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to exercise its rights under Section 2.1.5, Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Notes, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to use reasonable efforts to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate, except in connection with the application of principal to such Notes or components following the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Lender and Borrower each shall pay their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing, including, without limitation, legal fees in connection with any of the foregoing matters, except that all costs and expenses of Lender and Borrower associated with any restructuring of the Loan requested by Lender, including under Sections 2.1.5, 2.1.6 and 2.1.7, shall be paid solely by Lender.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1. Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Section 10.2. Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Whenever this Agreement expressly provides that Lender may not withhold or shall be reasonable in granting its consent or its approval of an arrangement or term, such provisions shall also be deemed to prohibit Lender from delaying or conditioning such consent or approval.

No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.

Each Borrower hereby designates Rio Mezz 8, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower Agent”), as the party to give and receive notices on behalf of Borrower hereunder, and any notice received by Lender by a Borrower other than Borrower Agent shall not constitute effective notice to, or be binding upon Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice by Lender to one or more Borrowers other than Borrower Agent shall be deemed to constitute effective notice to all of the Borrowers.

Section 10.7. Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. BORROWER AND LENDER ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

Section 10.8. Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 10.9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.10. Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder (except that, unless there exists an Event of Default, payments of principal shall be applied to components of the Note on a pro-rata basis). To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

Section 10.11. Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

-152-

Section 10.12. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment (except in cases of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct). The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 10.13. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender and each Noteholder upon receipt of notice from such Person for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such Person in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including, without limitation, any opinions requested by such Person as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental, gaming and insurance requirements if necessary or advisable due to reasonably suspected non-compliance; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iv) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, if Borrower defaults in its obligations hereunder; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender or any Noteholder all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender (or, as applicable, any Noteholder) pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Operating Company, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, the Collateral or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties, Operating Company or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to any Person to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Person. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender or any Noteholder may be paid from any amounts in the Mezzanine Collection Account upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

-153-

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other actual liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding, however, any punitive and consequential damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) the Leases or any of the duties, responsibilities or obligations of Borrower or any Operating Company thereunder, (iv) the transactions contemplated in the Collection Account Agreements or (v) any third-party claims alleging that the Loan, the Senior Mezzanine Loan or the Mortgage Loan, the Operating Lease, the Operating Lease Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents violates any agreements or Legal Requirements binding on the Borrower or its Affiliates or their respective properties (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

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

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

Section 10.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 10.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

-154-

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. Lender and Borrower acknowledge and agree that the Noteholders are intended third party beneficiaries of all rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 10.17. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 10.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Collateral with respect to each Mortgage Borrower or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral with respect to each Mortgage Borrower or any combination of such Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral with respect to one or more Mortgage Borrowers; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

Section 10.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

Section 10.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall

-155-

not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

11.2.1 No Duty to Pursue Others.

It shall not be necessary for Lender (and each Borrower Entity hereby waives any rights which such Borrower Entity may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of such Borrower Entity hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies

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

11.2.2 Waivers.

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

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

-158-

11.2.4 Events and Circumstances Not Reducing or Discharging Guarantor’s Obligations. Each Borrower Entity hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that such Borrower Entity’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including rights to notice) which such Borrower Entity might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

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

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

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

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

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

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

(g) Release of Collateral. Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Debt.

-159-

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

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

(j) Offset. Any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense of Borrower against Lender, or any other Person, or against payment of the Debt by any Other Borrower, whether such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Debt (or the transactions creating the Debt) or otherwise.

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

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

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

Section 11.4. No Release or Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement and is not intended to and shall not extinguish any of the indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents in such a manner as would constitute a release or

-160-

novation of the original indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall this Agreement affect or impair the priority of any liens created thereby or in connection therewith, it being the intention of the parties hereto to preserve all liens and security interests securing payment of the Note and the Debt, which liens and security interests are acknowledged by Borrower to be valid and subsisting against the Collateral and any other security or collateral for the Debt.

Section 11.5. Confirmation of Guarantor. By their signatures below, each of Guarantor (FF&E), Guarantor (Recourse Carveouts) and Guarantor (Operating Lease), and each of their respective successors and representatives, each hereby agree and consent to the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement and the modification of the other Loan Documents pursuant to this Agreement (and the modification of each of the Original Operating Leases in accordance with the related First Amendment to Operating Lease dated as of the date hereof) and ratify and confirm all of the terms and provisions set forth in the Guaranty (FF&E), the Guaranty (Recourse Carveouts), the Original Environmental Indemnity and each Original Operating Lease Guaranty, as applicable, and each of the other Loan Documents to which they are a party, and each agrees that their respective obligations and liabilities under such agreements shall continue without impairment or limitation by reason of this Agreement.
