THE FACILITY
SECTION 2.1. THE FACILITY. The Lenders have advanced the
Facility to Borrower as evidenced by the Notes. Borrower shall not be
entitled to any readvance of any portion of the Facility paid by Borrower from
time to time and no Lender shall have any obligation to make any such
readvance.
SECTION 2.2. FACILITY AMORTIZATION. (a) Mandatory
Amortization. On each Quarterly Amortization Date, Borrower shall repay the
principal of the Facility in the amount of the corresponding Quarterly
Amortization Amount.
(b) Additional Cash Flow Amortization. Agent shall make
disbursements from the Facility Escrow Account to repay the principal of the
Facility in the amount of the Additional Cash Flow Amortization upon the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth, and to the extent provided, in the
Security Agreement.
(c) Optional Prepayments. Upon the delivery of a notice
to Agent at least five (5) Business Days' in advance of such prepayment (a
"PREPAYMENT NOTICE"), Borrower may prepay, in whole or in part, the outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Facility, together with accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of the Facility

of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In the event that Borrower shall fail to
prepay all or a portion of the Facility in accordance with any Prepayment
Notice delivered to Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(c), Borrower shall pay
to Agent an administrative fee established by Agent in its reasonable judgment
to compensate Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such failure.
(d) Maturity. Borrower shall repay the aggregate unpaid
amount of the Facility, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the
Maturity Date.

this Agreement, Borrower will reimburse the Lenders for any LIBOR Breakage (on
any LIBOR Portion prepaid on any day other than the last day of the applicable
LIBOR Period) and the Hedge Provider for any Swap Breakage resulting from any

acceleration of the Facility following the occurrence of an Event of Default or
otherwise.
SECTION 2.3. [Intentionally omitted]
31
24
SECTION 2.4. INTEREST. (a) Rates. Interest shall be
payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Facility outstanding from time
to time until payment in full at a rate of interest equal to:
(i) with respect to any portion of the outstanding
Facility from time to time that Borrower has designated as a LIBOR
Portion, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR plus 2.25%;
and
(ii) with respect to any portion of the outstanding
Facility from time to time that Borrower has designated as a Base Rate
Portion or with respect to which this Agreement otherwise provides
shall be treated as a Base Rate Portion, at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus 0.25%.
(b) Requests for Designation. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section 2.8,
Borrower may from time to time request that all or any portion of the then
outstanding Facility be designated as a LIBOR Portion or a Base Rate Portion.
Each such request (a "REQUEST FOR DESIGNATION") shall be conveyed by telecopier
or telex and, with respect to any LIBOR Portion, shall specify the requested
LIBOR Period and must be received by Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Banking
Days before the first day of the applicable LIBOR Period.
(c) Portions. Each Request for Designation shall specify
the portion of the then outstanding Facility to be designated as a Base Rate
Portion or a LIBOR Portion and, if applicable, the LIBOR Period.
(d) Maximum Number of Portions. Unless Agent otherwise
consents, (i) the principal amount of each LIBOR Portion shall be an integral
multiple of $100,000, but not less than $100,000 and (ii) no more than four (4)
LIBOR Portions shall be outstanding at any one time. Nothing contained herein
shall require Agent to actually fund any LIBOR Portion in the London Interbank
Market.
(e) After Default. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall be continuing upon the expiration of a LIBOR Period
applicable to a given LIBOR Portion, then Borrower shall not be permitted to
continue to designate such LIBOR Portion as a LIBOR Portion and, from and after
the expiration of such LIBOR Period, such portion of the outstanding Facility
shall be deemed designated as a Base Rate Portion. The inability of Borrower
to designate portions of the outstanding Facility as LIBOR Portions shall be
applicable only for so long as an Event of Default shall remain uncured.
(f) Automatic Conversion. Subject to Section 2.4(b), if
Borrower shall fail to deliver a Request for Designation with respect to any
LIBOR Portion at least three (3) LIBOR Banking Days before the end of the then
applicable LIBOR Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a one-month
LIBOR Period with respect to such LIBOR Portion.
32
25
(g) Notice of Change in Base Rate. Agent shall endeavor
promptly to notify Borrower of any change in the Base Rate which occurs at any
time that any portion of the Facility has been designated as a Base Rate
Portion; provided, however, that Agent's failure to so notify Borrower shall in
no way impair, invalidate or otherwise affect the effectiveness of any change
in the Base Rate.
SECTION 2.5. INTEREST PAYMENT. (a) Facility Interest.
Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Facility
outstanding from time to time hereunder (i) with respect to any LIBOR Period
that has a duration of one month, on the last day of such LIBOR Period, (ii)
with respect to any LIBOR Period that has a duration of more than one month, in
arrears on the last day of each calendar month which occurs during such LIBOR
Period (except for the final interest payment with respect to such LIBOR
Period, which shall be paid on the last day of such LIBOR Period) or (iii) with
respect to any Base Portion, in arrears on the last Business Day of each
calendar month during the applicable Interest Period (except for the final
interest payment with respect to such Interest Period, which shall be paid on
the last day of such Interest Period); provided, however, that Borrower shall
be entitled to a credit against such interest payments in an amount equal to
the amount of any payments received by Agent from the Hedge Provider pursuant
to the Interest Rate Protection Agreements.
(b) Default Interest. Any amount which is not paid when
due hereunder, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, shall bear
interest from the date due until paid in full at the Default Rate.
SECTION 2.6. INCREASED COSTS. If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or
increase in reserve requirements that is accounted for in the LIBOR Reserve
Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation not presently
applicable to the Lenders or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request
from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
the force of law) not presently applicable to the Lenders, there shall be any
increase in the cost to any of the Lenders of agreeing to make or making,
funding or maintaining any LIBOR Portion, then Borrower shall from time to
time, upon demand by Agent, pay to Agent, on behalf of any Lender so affected,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lenders for such increased
cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the
Borrower by Agent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
SECTION 2.7. INCREASED CAPITAL. If any Lender determines
that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by any Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by
or based upon the existence of such Lender's commitment to lend hereunder and
other commitments of this type, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by
Agent, Borrower shall pay to Agent, on behalf of any Lender so affected, from
time to time as
33
26
specified by Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in
the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably
determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such
Lender's commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to Borrowers by Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.8. LIBOR. (a) Illegality. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if Agent shall notify Borrower that the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform its
obligations hereunder to fund or maintain any LIBOR Portion, such LIBOR Portion
shall be converted into a Base Rate Portion; provided, however, that Borrower
shall not be liable for any LIBOR Breakage with respect to such conversion.
(b) Unavailable/Insufficient. If, with respect to any
LIBOR Portion, Agent notifies Borrower that Agent is unable to determine LIBOR,
such LIBOR Portion will automatically, on the last day of the then existing
LIBOR Period, be converted into a Base Rate Portion; provided, however, that
Borrower shall not be liable for any LIBOR Breakage with respect to such
conversion.
SECTION 2.9. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS. (a) Payments.
Borrower shall make each payment due hereunder or under the Notes not later
than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to
Agent in same day funds. Agent will distribute each payment so received by the
end of business hours on the date of receipt (i) if such payment by Borrower is
in respect of principal, interest, fees or any other amount then payable
hereunder or under the Notes to more than one Lender, to such Lenders in
accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement (as it pertains to
disbursement of funds from the Facility Escrow Account) and the Lender
Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) if such payment by Borrower is in respect of
any amount then payable hereunder or under the Notes to one Lender, to such
Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. If and to the extent Agent shall not have so made such payment in
full to any Lender, on such day, Agent shall pay interest to the applicable
Lender on such late payment for each day from the date such amount is due from
Agent until the date such payment is made to the applicable Lender, at the
Federal Funds Rate. Borrower shall be deemed to be in compliance with this
Section 2.9 with respect to any payment due on any payment date if sufficient
funds to make such payment in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Security Agreement are contained in the Facility Escrow Account as of 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on such date and any conditions set forth in the
Security Agreement to disbursement of such funds have been satisfied, whether
or not Agent shall have directed the Depositary to make such payment on behalf
of Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement.
34
27
(b) Computations. All computations of interest and fees
shall be made by Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number
of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
Interest Period or, in the case of any Base Rate Portion, month or partial
month, for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by
Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or
under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment
of interest.
(d) Distributions by Agent. Unless Agent shall have
received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
any Lender hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Agent
may assume that Borrower has made such payment in full to Agent on such date
and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to
each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such
Lender. If and to the extent Borrower shall not have so made such payment in
full to Agent, each such Lender shall repay to Agent forthwith on demand such
amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such
Lender repays such amount to Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
SECTION 2.10. TAXES. (a) No Deduction. All payments made
by Borrower to Agent or any Lenders or other holder under this Agreement and
the Notes shall be made without any setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear
of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future income,
excise and other taxes of whatever nature (other than taxes generally assessed
on net income of Agent or any Lender or other holder), or any levies, imposts,
duties, charges or fees of any nature now or hereafter imposed by any
Governmental Authority (collectively "TAXES"). If Borrower is compelled by law
to make any such deductions or withholdings, it will pay, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.10(b), such additional amounts as may be
necessary in order that the net amount received by Agent and each Lender and
other holder after such deductions or withholdings (including any required
deduction or withholding on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount
such payee would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been
made, and it will promptly provide Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent

Manager commits any act which would permit termination under the Management
Agreement or (ii) there is a change of Control of Manager, other than a change
of Control resulting from the death or incapacity of any natural person. Any
appointment of a manager not directly or indirectly owned 100% by Holdings
shall be subject to the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be
withheld in Agent's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any successor manager not owned 100% by Holdings selected hereunder
by Agent or the Borrower to manage the Property shall be a nationally
recognized first-class manager of luxury hotels, with all license agreements
necessary or appropriate to permit such replacement Manager to operate the
Property. Any agreement between Borrower and the new Manager shall be subject
to Agent's prior written approval provided that (a) the new Manager enters into
an agreement to subordinate its fees in the same form as the Management
Subordination Agreement or in such other form as Agent may approve in Agent's
sole and absolute discretion and (b) such management agreement may be
terminated by Agent upon the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other
remedial transfer of the Property to the Lenders or their designee. Borrower
shall cause the management of the Property at all times to be supervised by the
Senior Supervisors and cause such Senior Supervisors to devote that portion of
their time necessary in the supervision of the management of the Real Property
to assure Borrower's performance hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
Except for changes beyond the control of Borrower (such as Termination for
Cause, retirement, resignation (but no Senior Supervisor may resign in order to
take any position with any Affiliate of Borrower or any Affiliate of any other
Borrower Entity), death or disability of a Senior Supervisor), no change in the
Senior Supervisors shall be made without the Agent's prior written consent.
The foregoing notwithstanding, none of the Senior Supervisors or Manager is
intended to be, or shall be, a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement.
(k) Single Purpose Entity. Borrower hereby represents
and warrants to, and covenants with, Agent that, as of the date hereof and
until such time as all amounts payable under the Notes and the other Loan
Documents shall be paid in full, Borrower:

(viii) shall as of the date hereof have adequate capital for
the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a
business of its size and character and in light of
its contemplated business operations; and
(ix) shall not commingle the funds and other financial
assets of the Borrower with those of either General
Partner, any Affiliate or any other person; and
(l) Appraisal Updates. From and after the first
anniversary of Conference Substantial Completion, from time to time upon the
request of Agent, but no more than once in any calendar year, deliver to Agent,
an Appraisal Update.

receipt of such notice, forward to Agent copies of all material written notices
given or received by Borrower with respect to the Conference Construction to or
from: (i) Contractor or any subcontractor or material supplier, or any of the
design professionals (including notices relating to any nonconforming
construction, any refusal or inability to pay or perform pursuant to the terms
of any contract or other agreement or any delay, default or change order) or
(ii) any claim of default, or relating to any work stoppage, notice of
violation or cease and desist order, stop order, construction liens, strike,
claim, litigation, damage, loss or any other materially adverse condition,
circumstance or event.
(n) Construction Payments. Pay and discharge or cause to
be paid and discharged promptly all payments due for labor, materials and
supplies unless the same shall be contested by Borrower in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and sufficient funds are available in the Facility
Escrow Account to pay such contested amount in full; provided,
50
43
however, that Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default under this
subsection (n) if at the time such payments are due, (i) the balance of the
Facility Escrow Account is sufficient to make such payments, (ii) the
conditions for the release of such payments from the Facility Escrow Account
set forth in the Security Agreement have been satisfied and (iii) such funds
are not disbursed from the Facility Escrow Account for such payments in

and, in the event Borrower commences the Beach Club Construction, the
Beach Club Construction to proceed diligently and continuously, with
sufficient workers employed and sufficient materials supplied for that

(ii) Cause all construction work on the Conference

insurers and fire underwriters, and with the requirements set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents;
(iii) Cause all materials acquired or furnished in
connection with the construction of the Conference Improvements but
not affixed or incorporated into the Real Property to be stored under
adequate safeguards to minimize the possibility of loss, theft, damage
or commingling with other materials or projects;
(iv) To the extent not already included in
Requests for Conference Construction Disbursement, from time to time
upon the request of Agent, deliver to Agent such certificates and
other documentation evidencing that the Conference Construction is
proceeding in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Conference
Construction Contract and confirming the matters set forth in the
preceding clauses (i) through (iii); and
51
44

representatives and the Lender Construction Representative full and free access
to the Conference Improvements, the Conference Plans and Specifications and all
shop and related drawings. Prior to Conference Substantial Completion, as soon
as reasonably practical after receipt of written notice from Agent, Borrower
shall proceed diligently to remove all fixtures, equipment and other materials
which do not substantially conform to the Conference Plans and Specifications
and immediately thereafter repair and replace all work and materials so removed

from the proceeds of any Conference Construction Disbursement.

from Agent of a notice of any Deficiency, which notice Agent may send to
Borrower at any time or times as Agent may deem appropriate to notify Borrower
that there is a Deficiency, deposit into the Facility Escrow Account an amount
sufficient to eliminate such Deficiency.
(u) Indemnity. Indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims,
damages and expenses incidental thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses, of any kind or nature directly or indirectly resulting from or
arising out of the Conference Construction Disbursements, the construction of
the Expansion Plan Improvements or any act or omission to act by the Lenders or
their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, all claims for commissions to any
broker or intermediary, disputes between or among Borrower, Contractor,
Architect, any design professional, subcontractors, material
52
45
suppliers and purchasers, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful
malfeasance of any Indemnified Party.
(v) Beach Club Construction. Borrower shall provide for
the Beach Club Reserve within the Facility Escrow Account which shall be
deducted from the Restricted Payments Available Amount. In the event Beach
Club Substantial Completion has not occurred by the Beach Club Completion Date
and Agent has not approved a plan for the Beach Club Construction on or prior
to the Beach Club Completion Date that contemplates a completion date
acceptable to Agent, then Borrower shall prepay the Facility on or prior to the
Beach Club Completion Date by an amount equal to the Beach Club Reserve.

the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal of the Notes or (ii) when due, any
installment of principal or interest due under any Note or due to any Hedge
Provider under any Interest Rate Protection Agreements on or before the fifth
(5th) day after the same has become due and payable; provided, however, that no
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred under this clause (ii) if at

such funds are distributable for such payment at such time pursuant to the
Security Agreement.

Material Adverse Change and such condition is not remedied within ten (10) days
after Agent has notified Borrower thereof; provided, however, that in the case
of a Material Adverse Change that is susceptible to cure but which cannot be
reasonably cured within such ten (10) days, such failure shall not constitute
an Event of Default provided that (A) Borrower shall submit to Agent, within

reasonably satisfactory to Agent and (B) Borrower shall diligently pursue the

following the giving of notice of such default to Borrower; provided, however,
that in the case of a failure which cannot be reasonably cured within such
thirty (30) days, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default
provided that (A) Borrower shall submit to Agent, within such thirty (30) day
period, a detailed plan to cure such default reasonably satisfactory to Agent
and (B) Borrower shall diligently pursue the curing of such default. The
rights to notice and a cure period granted herein shall not be cumulative with
any other rights to notice or a cure period in any other Loan Document and the
giving of notice or a cure period pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy any

period pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

such appointment; or
(v) the admission in writing by any Borrower Entity of
any inability to pay debts generally as they become due.
SECTION 6.2. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Agent, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Agent
and/or the Lenders at law or in equity, or under any of the other Loan
Documents, may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies as
it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable:
(a) Acceleration. Declare immediately due and payable,
without further notice or demand, all monies advanced under this Agreement, the
Notes, the Mortgage and/or any of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid,
together with all interest then accrued thereon and all other amounts then

an order for relief with respect to any Borrower Entity under the Bankruptcy
Code, the Notes and all obligations thereunder and under any other Loan
Agreement shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by Borrower.
57
50
(b) Possession. Enter upon and take possession of the
Real Property and proceed in the name of Agent, the Lenders or Borrower, as the
attorney-in-fact of Borrower (which authority is hereby granted by Borrower, is
coupled with an interest, and is irrevocable), as Agent shall elect. If Agent
elects to so enter upon and take possession of the Real Property, Agent (i) may
enforce or cancel all contracts entered into by Borrower (including the
Conference Construction Contract) or make other contracts which are in Agent's
sole opinion advisable, (ii) may complete the construction of the Conference
Construction and/or the Beach Club Construction and (iii) shall be reimbursed
by Borrower upon demand any reasonable amount or amounts expended by Agent for
such performance together with any reasonable costs, charges, or expenses
incident thereto or otherwise incurred or expended by Agent or its
representatives (including an Appraisal) on behalf of Borrower in connection
with the Real Property, and the amounts so expended (A) shall be considered
part of the Facility evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Mortgage and (B)
shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Lenders' obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Injunctive Relief. Institute appropriate proceedings
for injunctive relief (including specific performance of the obligations of
Borrower hereunder).

to transfer the entire balance of the Operating Account to the Facility Escrow
Account to be held and applied first to Operating Expenses approved by Agent
and then to amounts payable under the Facility, in each case, in accordance
with a separate "lock-box" agreement between Agent and Borrower in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent and which shall govern the collection and
disbursement of the Rents and Profits until such time as such acceleration is
either rescinded or completion of a foreclosure of the Mortgage.
SECTION 6.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS. All of the
remedies herein given to Agent and/or the Lenders or otherwise available at law
or in equity to Agent and/or the Lenders shall be cumulative and may be
exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to exercise any
one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver thereof by
Agent or the Lenders, nor shall the use of any such remedies prevent the
subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies vested in Agent
and/or the Lenders by the Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To be
effective, any waiver by Agent or the Lenders must be in writing and such
waiver shall be limited in its effect to the condition or default specified
therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent condition or
default.

contractor, subcontractor, design professional, supplier of labor or materials,
or any of their respective creditors, or any other person other than Borrower.
No part of the Facility will be at any time subject, or liable to attachment or

any other party.

nor any of the other Loan Documents may be modified or amended except by a
written agreement executed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is
sought.
SECTION 7.13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT

part of its rights and obligations hereunder and under any Note to any other
party and/or (iii) sell to one or more banks, persons or other entities,
participating interests in or to its rights under any Note or any other
interest hereunder; provided, that (A) no action set forth in this Section 7.15
above by any Lender results in any increased costs to Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 or 2.10(b) and (B) prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, no Lender shall assign all or any part of its rights hereunder or

in connection with any such participation or sale, disclose to any participant
or assignee or proposed participant or assignee that is an Eligible Assignee,
any information relating to Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf

owned by Borrower in trust for unrelated parties), including, without
limitation, the Facility Escrow Account, the Operating Account and the

owing by Agent to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and
all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this

Completion, Agent shall set off and apply amounts from the Facility Escrow
Account only to pay the costs of curing any default by, or enforcing the
obligations of, Borrower under the Loan Documents. Agent shall give Borrower
prompt notice of any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

limitations and exceptions contained in subsections (b), (c) and (d) below, no
Exculpated Party shall have any personal liability under this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents, and no deficiency judgment shall be sought or enforced
against any Exculpated Party. Recourse of Agent shall, subject to the

enforced against an Exculpated Party to the extent necessary to preserve or
enforce the rights and remedies of Agent in, to or against the collateral and
other security provided under the Loan Documents, and nothing contained in this
Section shall be construed to limit, prejudice or impair the rights of Agent to
enforce its rights and remedies against any property mortgaged, pledged,
encumbered, assigned or granted to secure payment or performance under the Loan
Documents, so long as no deficiency judgment or any judgment in the nature of a
deficiency judgment or for money damages is obtained or enforced against an
Exculpated Party.

Agent and the Lenders for their respective damages (including loss of principal
or interest and the Lenders' attorneys' fees and collection costs) arising out

(i) fraud of Borrower or either General Partner;
(ii) the making by Borrower or either General Partner of
any representation or warranty that was incorrect or untrue in any
material respect at the time made; and

the Loan Documents in violation of the Loan
63
56
Documents or any Distribution to a partner of Borrower in violation of
the Loan Documents.
(d) Nothing contained herein shall affect any liability
of any party under the Environmental Indemnity.
SECTION 7.18. INDEMNITY. Subject to Section 7.17, Borrower
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent, the Lenders and their respective
partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against any and all losses, damages, claims,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified
Parties in connection with any transaction or matter at any time arising
(including, without limitation, such time as BRHC was the owner of the
Property) and in any way connected with the Property, the Facility, the
Original Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
(i) the grant by Borrower or BRHC (as predecessor in title to Borrower) to
Agent of security title to the Property pursuant to the Mortgage, (ii) all
claims and demands whatsoever that may be asserted against any Indemnified
Parties by reason of any alleged obligations or undertaking on Agent's part by
virtue of the Mortgage to collect the Rents and Profits or (iii) the exercise
by Agent of any of its rights pursuant to the Security Agreement, except, in
each case, to the extent any such loss, damage, claim, cost or expense is the
result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party.
Any amount payable under this Section shall be deemed a demand obligation,
shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Mortgage
and the Security Agreement.
SECTION 7.19. CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither Agent nor any Lender
shall disclose any Borrower Confidential Information to any Person without the
consent of Borrower, other than (i) to Agent's or such Lender's Affiliates and
their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors involved in
originating, administering or servicing the Facility and to actual or
prospective assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis
(and, in the case of participants and prospective assignees, only after
receiving their written agreement to preserve such confidentiality), (ii) as
required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process and (iii) as
requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner

AGENT
SECTION 8.1. AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. Each Lender
irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower may rely,
without inquiry, on the authority of Agent to act on behalf of Lender until
Borrower receives notice of the appointment of a successor Agent.
SECTION 8.2. SUCCESSOR AGENT. For purposes of this Agreement
and all the other Loan Documents to which Agent is a party, subject to the
appointment and acceptance of another Lender (approved by the Required Lenders
and Borrower, if applicable) as successor Agent, Agent may resign as such at
any time upon giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Agent
may be removed at any time upon the consent of the Required Lenders other than
Scotiabank, and a successor Agent approved by the Required Lenders shall
thereupon be immediately appointed by the Lenders. The Lenders shall promptly
notify Borrower of any removal of Scotiabank as Agent and the appointment of
any successor Agent. Upon any resignation or removal of Scotiabank or any
successor Agent as Agent, Scotiabank or such successor Agent, as applicable,
shall deliver to any successor Agent all documents, records or instruments in
its possession relating to it as Agent. Upon acceptance of any appointment as
Agent, the successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent. After any Agent's resignation, the
provisions of this Article 8 shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted by it while it was acting as Agent.
ARTICLE 9
COLLATERAL RELEASE PROVISIONS
SECTION 9.1. PARTIAL RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. In the event
Borrower desires to sell or otherwise convey any portion of the Real Property,
including in connection with a determination by Borrower to (a) convert the
Villas and/or certain other Real Property to a condominium or time-sharing form
of ownership and to sell interests therein or (b) redesign the main complex
golf course and, in connection therewith, create, develop and sell residential
lots thereon, Borrower may request a release from the lien of the Mortgage on
the applicable portion of the Real Property. Upon receipt of such request,
Agent shall execute and deliver such documents and other instruments in
recordable form as shall be necessary to release the applicable parcels from
the lien of the Mortgage; provided, that each of the following conditions shall
have been satisfied:
65
58
(i) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(ii) Agent shall have approved all documents and
agreements relating thereto, including any condominium declaration,
reciprocal easement agreement, management agreement or other agreement
relating thereto;
(iii) Borrower has effected a valid subdivision of the
applicable parcels from the Land and has otherwise complied with, and
such development shall comply with, all Legal Requirements;
(iv) Borrower has provided Agent with such endorsements to
the Title Policy as Agent shall request insuring the Lenders' interest
in the Mortgage with respect to the remaining Real Property as a
valid, enforceable and subsisting first priority lien on such Real
Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions;
(v) Borrower shall have provided Agent with satisfactory
evidence that the parcels to be released are or will be assessed and
taxed separately from the remaining Property upon recording of the
transferring deed;
(vi) In the case of a release of Real Property currently
constituting a portion of the main complex golf course, Borrower shall
have delivered evidence satisfactory to the Agent that (A) the
redesign of the golf course will not materially adversely affect the
value and utility of the main complex golf course as an amenity to the
Real Property and (B) such redesign shall not result in a Material
Adverse Change either upon completion or during any period of redesign
or reconstruction, in each case, as reasonably determined by Agent;
(vii) Borrower shall have provided Agent with such surveys,
drawings, plans, specifications, certificates, proposed easements,
consents, agreements and opinions of counsel acceptable to Agent and
other evidence as Agent may reasonably request or require to enable
Agent to determine that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied;
(viii) Borrower shall have paid all of Agent's costs and
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all attorneys
and other consultants retained by Agent) incurred in connection with
Agent's review of such request for release (whether or not such
request is approved) and in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and
agreements relating thereto;
(ix) Borrower shall pay to Agent the Net Sales Proceeds as
a prepayment of the Facility to the extent outstanding and then to the
Subordinate Facility; and
(x) Such release shall not cause a Material Adverse
Change.
66
59
Notwithstanding paragraph (ix) above, there shall be no
release price payable to Agent with respect to a release of a portion of the
Real Property if (A) the Net Sale Proceeds realized from the sale or other
disposition of such assets are deposited into a segregated account that is
pledged to, and under the sole dominion and control of Agent (the "SPECIAL
PROJECT ACCOUNT") for application solely in accordance with a capital
expenditure plan (a "CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PLAN") (including any nonrecourse
project debt or other debt or equity financing which Borrower proposes to
employ to finance a portion of such capital expenditures) that has been
approved by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion and (B) Agent reasonably
determines that, upon completion of the capital improvements to be funded by
such amounts, there will be adequate Available Cash Flow in the absence of such
released Real Property to make payment of Total Debt Service and Operating
Expenses and to fund the Replacement Reserve Account and Tax Reserve Account in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement. Upon any
such deposit of Net Sales Proceeds into the Special Project Account, Borrower
shall execute and deliver such amendments and modifications to the Security
Agreement as Agent requests in connection with the depositing of Net Sales
Proceeds into, and the subsequent disbursement of such amounts from, Special
Project Account.

Exhibit A
Form of Amended and Restated Note
$_____________ As of June ___, 0000
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PANTHERS BRHC LIMITED, a
Florida limited partnership ("BORROWER"), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order
of _______________ ("LENDER") the principal sum of ______________________
______________________________ ($__________) (the "PRINCIPAL AMOUNT"), which
amount constitutes a portion of the Facility (as defined in the Loan Agreement
(as hereinafter defined)) made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement together with (i)
interest on any and all principal amounts remaining unpaid hereunder until said
principal amounts are paid in full, payable as provided in the Loan Agreement,
and (ii) any and all other amounts that may be due by Borrower to Lender in
connection with the Principal Amount in accordance with the Loan Documents.
Capitalized terms used in this Amended and Restated Note (this
"NOTE") and not otherwise defined are used as defined in that certain Amended
and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among Borrower, The
Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency, as agent ("AGENT") for itself, Lender and
the other bank parties thereto (the "Loan Agreement").
Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the
United States of America to the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
Time, at the place set forth in the Loan Agreement, in immediately available
funds.
This Note is a renewal of the indebtedness outstanding under a
certain Senior Note, dated as of August 22, 1996, made by Boca Raton Hotel and
Club Limited Partnership payable to the order of Lender. All Florida
documentary stamp taxes and intangible taxes on the indebtedness evidenced by
said Senior Note were previously paid and affixed to the mortgages and future
advance notices identified in that certain Note Consolidation and Renewal
Agreement, Mortgage Extension Agreement, Mortgage Spreader Agreement and
Mortgage Modification (Sixth) Agreement, dated as of August 22, 1996, recorded
in the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida. This Note evidences a
"refinancing" exempt from further intangible taxes under Fla. Stat. ss.
199.145(4) because the amount of this Note does not exceed the amount
outstanding under the Senior Note renewed hereby. This Note is exempt from
Florida documentary stamp taxes under Fla. Stat. ss. 201.08 because it has been
executed and delivered by the Borrower outside the State of Florida and because
no assumption agreement or other mortgage modification has been recorded in
said Public Records in connection herewith.
75
A-2
This Note is entitled to the benefits of the Loan Agreement
and is secured by, inter alia, the Mortgage and the Security Agreement. The
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the Security Agreement are incorporated herein
by reference and shall be deemed a part of this Note as if set forth in full
herein.
The Principal Amount, together with all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon and all other sums then due and payable to Lender under this
Note, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date; provided, however,
that prepayment of all or a portion of the Facility may be required under
certain circumstances as provided in the Loan Agreement; and provided, further,
that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of Agent, the
entire unpaid balance of this Note, together with all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon and all other sums then due and payable hereunder, may become
immediately due and payable in the manner, upon the conditions, and with the
effect provided in, the Loan Agreement, and the rights and remedies provided in
the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the Security Agreement shall apply.
This Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, under the
circumstances set forth in, and otherwise in accordance with and subject to the
terms of, the Loan Agreement, and any such prepayment shall be applied in the
manner provided in the Loan Agreement.
Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns and any
endorsers of this Note from time to time, hereby waives presentment for
payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and any other
notice Borrower may lawfully waive and any and all lack of diligence or delays
in the collection or enforcement hereof, and waives and renounces all rights to
the benefits of any statute of limitations and any moratorium, appraisement,
exemption and homestead rights now provided or which may hereafter be provided
by any federal or state statute, including, but not limited to, exemptions
provided or allowed under the Bankruptcy Code, both as to itself and as to all
of its property, whether real or personal, against the enforcement and
collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note and any and all
extensions, renewals and modifications hereof.
No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or
privilege under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Note
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Borrower waives trial by jury in any action brought on, under
or by virtue of this Note.
The provisions of this Note shall be governed by and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made and to be performed within such State.
76
A-3
Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval or other
communication which Borrower or Lender is obligated or may elect to give
hereunder shall be given in the form and in the manner set forth in the Loan
Agreement for the giving of notices thereunder and shall be deemed given for
the purposes hereof at such time as the same, if given under the Loan
Agreement, would be deemed given.
The provisions of this Note shall bind Borrower and its
successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrower and
their respective successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that for so long as the Property (as
defined in the Mortgage) or any portion thereof remains subject to the lien of
the Mortgage, the obligations assumed hereunder by Borrower shall be binding
upon all future owners of the interest of Borrower in the Property.
This Note may not be changed, amended, modified or discharged
orally, but only by an instrument signed by Borrower and Lender, and compliance
with the terms of this Note may be waived only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party waiving compliance.
This Note may not be assigned except as permitted by the Loan
Agreement.
If Borrower shall fail to make any payment due under this Note
after the notice and within the grace periods, if any, provided for in the Loan
Agreement, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. The
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the Security Agreement specify other events
and circumstances which would constitute Events of Default hereunder and
thereunder.
Subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, no
Exculpated Party shall have any personal liability under this Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents, and no deficiency judgment shall be sought or enforced
against any Exculpated Party. Recourse of Agent shall, subject to the
limitations and exceptions set forth below, be limited to, and satisfied
exclusively from, the assets of the Borrower, including but not limited to the
collateral and security provided under the Loan Documents.
A judgment may be sought, obtained, entered and enforced
against an Exculpated Party to the extent necessary to preserve or enforce the
rights and remedies of Agent in, to or against the collateral and other
security provided under the Loan Documents, and nothing contained herein shall
be construed to limit, prejudice or impair the rights of Agent to enforce its
rights and remedies against any property mortgaged, pledged, encumbered,
assigned or granted to secure payment or performance under the Loan Documents,
so long as no deficiency judgment or any judgment in the nature of a deficiency
judgment or for money damages is obtained or enforced against an Exculpated
Party.
77
A-4
Each General Partner shall be personally liable to Lender for
Lender's damages (including loss of principal or interest and Lender's
attorneys' fees and collection costs) arising out of any of the following
circumstances:
(i) fraud of Borrower or either General Partner;
(ii) the making by Borrower or either General Partner of
any representation or warranty that was incorrect or untrue in any
material respect at the time made; and
(iii) any misappropriation or misapplication of Rents and
Profits, security deposits, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
relating to the Property or other collateral security provided under
the Loan Documents in violation of the Loan Documents or any
Distribution to a partner of Borrower in violation of the Loan
Documents.
Nothing contained herein shall affect any liability of any
party under the Environmental Indemnity.
