SECTION 1.4 Accounting and Financial Determinations. Unless otherwise specified, all
accounting terms used herein or in any other Loan Document shall be interpreted, and all accounting

change in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the audited financial
statement referred to in Section 7.6 hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of any rule,
regulation, pronouncement, interpretation or opinion by or required by GAAP would result in a
change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms found in clause

negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the
desired result that the criteria for determining compliance with such Sections shall be the same
after such change as if such change had not been made; provided, however, the
parties hereto agree to construe all terms of an accounting or financial nature in accordance with
GAAP as in effect prior to any such change in accounting principles until the parties hereto have
amended the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

of the Budget; provided, however, that if at any time the Borrowers and the
Subsidiary Guarantors have Excess Available Cash, such Excess Available Cash shall be applied to
the prepayment of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, the Revolving Loans and the Prepetition Loans in

SECTION 2.4

of Base Rate Loans, converted into LIBO Rate Loans or be, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, converted
into Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of delivery of a
Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least three (3) Business Days
(but not more than five (5) Business Days) before the last day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, but subject in all events to
clause (y) in the
proviso of
this sentence, such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a LIBO Rate
Loan having a one (1) month Interest Period);
provided,
however, that (x) each such
conversion or continuation shall be
pro rated
52
among the applicable outstanding
Loans of all Lenders that have made such Loans and (y) no portion of the outstanding principal
amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, LIBO Rate Loans when any Default has
occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 2.5 Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to
make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or
Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such
LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be
deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrowers to
repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign
branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In addition, each Borrower hereby consents
and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Section 4.1,
4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, it shall be conclusively assumed that each Lender elected
to fund all LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing Dollar deposits in its relevant interbank eurodollar

the Issuer, solely for the benefit of the Operating Company to fund, or secure payment of
construction or operating costs set forth in the Budget. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms
be stated to expire on a date (its “
Stated Expiry Date”) no later than December 18,
2009.
16
SECTION 2.6.1 Other Lenders’ Participation. With respect to each Letter of Credit
issued or outstanding pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Revolving Lender (other
than the Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Letter of
Credit Commitment, a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including any Letter of
Credit Reimbursement Obligation with respect thereto), and each Revolving Lender (other than the
Issuer) shall, to the extent of its then existing Revolving Loan Commitment, be responsible for funding promptly (and in any event within one
(1) Business Day) to the Issuer such Lender’s Percentage of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Obligation which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrowers in accordance with Section
2.6.3. In addition, each Revolving Lender shall, to the extent of its Revolving Loan
Commitment, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant
to Section 3.3.5 with respect to each Letter of Credit (but not the Fronting Fee payable to
the Issuer of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.3.6) and of interest payable
pursuant to Section 3.2 with respect to any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation. To
the extent that a Revolving Lender has reimbursed any Issuer for a Letter of Credit Disbursement as
required by this Section 2.6.1, such Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive its
ratable portion of any amounts subsequently received (from the Borrowers or otherwise) in respect
of such Letter of Credit Disbursement. The obligations of each Revolving Lender under this
Section 2.6.1 are obligatory on the part of each Revolving Lender,
|
|
|
16 |
|
Amended by the Fourth Amendment to DIP Credit
Agreement. |
53
such obligations of each
Revolving Lender shall be performed whether or not a Default exists hereunder and whether or not
the conditions set forth in Article VI of this Agreement have been satisfied, shall be
absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed by each Revolving Lender strictly
in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim, or defense to payment which the Revolving Lenders,
individually or collectively, may have or have had against the Issuer, the other Lenders or the
Administrative Agent, shall not be subject to the requirement that the Borrowers reimburse the
Issuer for any sight drafts presented under any Letter of Credit and shall be independent of all of
the obligations of the Borrowers, the Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6.1, so long as any Letter of Credit is
outstanding and supports an obligation, each of the Revolving Lenders shall have the absolute
obligation, including in the event that the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit draws on such Letter
of Credit (pursuant to a right set forth in such Letter of Credit or otherwise) after a Commitment
Termination Event with respect to the Revolving Loans occurs, to make a Revolving Loan to the
Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.6.2 and disburse the proceeds thereof directly to
the Issuer.
SECTION 2.6.2 Letter of Credit Disbursements. The Issuer will notify Greektown
Holdings and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of
Credit, together with notice of the date (the “Letter of Credit Disbursement Date”) such payment
shall be made (each such payment, a “Letter of Credit Disbursement”). Immediately thereafter, the
Administrative Agent shall give telephonic and facsimile notice to the Revolving Lenders of the
presentation of such sight draft, the amount of such sight draft, the date on which payment thereon
has been or will be made, and the Percentage of each such Revolving Lender in the amount of such
sight draft together with a copy of the sight draft and accompanying documents. A copy of such
sight draft, together with such accompanying documents, shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be
deemed to be a Borrowing Request for a Revolving Loan to each of the Revolving Lenders which, on
the date of such Borrowing, shall bear interest at the Base Rate. Subject to the terms and
provisions of such Letter of Credit, the Issuer shall make such Letter of Credit Disbursement to
the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit. Prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the first Business Day following the
date on which notice was given by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders, the
Revolving Lenders shall advance as an obligatory advance hereunder a Revolving Loan to the
Administrative Agent (whether or not the Borrowers have satisfied the conditions set forth in
Article VI of this Agreement), for the account of the Issuer, in an amount equal to such
Revolving Lender’s Percentage of the amount which the Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of
Credit, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum then in effect for Base
Rate Loans (with the Applicable Base Rate Margin accruing on such amount) pursuant to Section
3.2 for the period from the Letter of Credit Disbursement Date through the date of such
reimbursement. The Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6.2 shall be applied to
the payment of such sight draft (and at the election of the Issuer be advanced directly to the
beneficiary) and shall not be used for any other purpose. Without limiting in any way the
foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any separate
application for any Letter of Credit, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be
obligated to reimburse the Issuer upon each Letter of Credit Disbursement by means of a Borrowing
of Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6.2. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1.9, all amounts payable by the
Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.6.2
54
shall be deemed to be the funding to the
Issuer of each such Revolving Lender’s Percentage of such Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation
in accordance with Section 2.6.1.
SECTION 2.6.3 Reimbursement. The obligation (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Obligation”) of the Borrowers under Section 2.6.2 to reimburse the Issuer with respect to
each Letter of Credit Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the failure of the
Borrowers to reimburse the Issuer, each Revolving Lender’s obligation under Section 2.6.1
to reimburse the Issuer, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all
circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrowers or such Revolving Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against the Issuer or
any other Revolving Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Letter of Credit
Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuer’s good
faith opinion such Letter of Credit Disbursement is determined to be appropriate) or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that after paying in full its Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Borrowers or such
other Revolving Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against the Issuer for any
wrongful Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of
acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuer.
SECTION 2.6.4 Deemed Letter of Credit Disbursements. Either (i) with notice from the
Administrative Agent or (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
under Section 9.1.9,
(a) an amount equal to that portion of all Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable
to the then aggregate amount which is undrawn and available under all Letters of Credit
issued and outstanding hereunder shall, without demand upon
or notice to the Borrowers, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the Issuer
under such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so
paid or disbursed); and
(b) upon notification by the Administrative Agent to Greektown Holdings of its
obligations under this Section, the Borrowers shall be immediately obligated to reimburse
the Issuer for the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuer, in which
case the last four sentences of Section 2.6.2 shall apply.
Any amounts so payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.6.4 shall be deposited
in cash with the Administrative Agent and held as collateral security for the Obligations in
connection with the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer, and the Administrative Agent shall make
disbursements thereof from time to time to reimburse the Issuer for payments made by the Issuer
with respect to Letters of Credit. At such time when the Default giving rise to the deemed
disbursements hereunder shall have been cured (and, in the case of an Event of Default, such cure
is accepted by the Administrative Agent and the Loans are reinstated by the Lenders or the Required
Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement) or waived, the Administrative Agent
shall return to Greektown Holdings all amounts then on deposit with the
55
Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section which have not been applied to the partial satisfaction of such
Obligations.
SECTION 2.6.5 Nature of Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrowers
and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.6.1, each Revolving Lender shall assume all risks
of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuer

for:
(a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application
for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit
or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may

Loans, annexed to which the Administrative Agent shall retain a copy of each Lender
Assignment Agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent. Failure to make any

prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of first, the Delayed
Draw Term A-1 Loans, second, the Delayed Draw Term B-1 Loans and thereafter the Delayed
Draw Term A Loans, provided, however, that
(i) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one (1) but no more

Section 3.1.2; provided, however, amounts shall be applied to
Delayed Draw Term B-1 Loans prior to any Delayed Draw Term A-1 Loans and thereafter, at the

rata among the outstanding principal balances thereof based on the aggregate
principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term B-1 Loans, the Delayed Draw Term A-1 Loans, the

Loans have been reduced to zero, the unapplied portion
thereof shall be applied to the outstanding Prepetition Loans in accordance with the

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and except as
otherwise set forth in clause (b) of Section 3.1.1, the Lenders shall apply
all amounts received in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement first, to
all Obligations (other than principal and interest on the Loans), second, to

amount of Delayed Draw Term A-1 Loans being maintained as Base Rate Loans, fourth,

to Section 3.1.1, if not made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect
thereto, shall be prepaid subject to the provisions of Section 4.4. Insofar as
amounts allocated under the eleventh priority above are allocated to Prepetition Loans
which are, otherwise, of equal priority, some of which are maintained as Base Rate Loans
and some of which are maintained as LIBO Rate Loans, such amounts shall be allocated first
to the Base Rate Loans and then to LIBO Rate Loans.
60
(b) After an Event of Default has occurred and so long as such Event of Default is
continuing, all amounts received by the Lenders shall be applied first, to the costs
and expenses of protecting and preserving the security interests of the Lenders under the
Loan Documents, second, to the costs and expenses of protecting and preserving the
DIP Collateral, third, to the costs and expenses of enforcing the rights of the
Lenders under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents, fourth, to all other

and interest on the Loans), fifth, to the Additional Loan Lenders for accrued and
unpaid interest on the Additional Loans, sixth, ratably among the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Additional Loans, seventh, to the Original

ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS
SECTION 4.1 LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the other
Lenders, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that the introduction of or any change in, or
in the interpretation of, any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental
Instrumentality asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan
as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make,
continue, maintain or convert any such LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be
suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans shall automatically convert
into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto, or
sooner, if required by such law or assertion.
SECTION 4.2 Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined
that
(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not
available to the Administrative Agent in its relevant market; or
(b) by reason of circumstances affecting the Administrative Agent’s relevant market,
adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO
Rate Loans,
then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to Greektown Holdings and the Lenders, the
obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or continue
any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the
Administrative Agent shall notify Greektown Holdings and the Lenders that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 4.3 Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc. The Borrowers agree to reimburse
each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any
sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or of its
obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to
convert) any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans that arises in connection with any change in, or the
introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in after the date
hereof of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having
the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Instrumentality,
except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which are governed by
Sections 4.5 and 4.6, respectively. Such Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and Greektown Holdings in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such
notice to state, in
64
reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount and, if requested by the Borrowers, shall
include reasonably appropriate documentation confirming the occurrence of such event. Such
additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrowers directly to such Lender within five (5) days
of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.
Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that, as a result of any such change,
introduction, adoption or the like described above, the LIBOR Reserve Percentage decreases for any
Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans, such Lender shall give prompt notice thereof in writing to the
Administrative Agent and Greektown Holdings. The LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) attributable to such
Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans shall be adjusted to give the Borrowers the benefit of such decrease (for
so long as such decrease shall remain in effect).
SECTION 4.4 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense
(including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal
amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO
Rate Loan) as a result of
(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate
Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise;
(b) any Loans not being made as LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Borrowing
Request or Advance Request therefor; or
(c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans in accordance
with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor,
then, upon the written notice of such Lender to Greektown Holdings (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, or shall cause the Operating Company to, within five
(5) days of their receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the
reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such
written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers; provided, however, if
requested by the Borrowers, such Lender shall provide reasonably appropriate documentation
confirming the amount of such loss or expense.
SECTION 4.5 Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption,
effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase in of, any law or regulation, directive,
guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank,
regulator or other Governmental Instrumentality affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and such
Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return
on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitments or the Loans made,
or the Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender is reduced to a level below
65
that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence
of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon written notice from time to time by such
Lender to Greektown Holdings, Greektown Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall immediately pay
directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling
Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional
amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers; provided, however, if
requested by the Borrowers, such Lender shall provide reasonably appropriate documentation
confirming the amount of such compensation. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
method of averaging and attribution that it (determines in good faith in its sole and absolute
discretion) shall deem applicable.
SECTION 4.6 Lender’s Tax. All payments by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest
on, the Credit Extensions and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made
free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or
franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and other taxes based on
a Lender’s net income or gross receipts imposed on such Lender by a Governmental Instrumentality
located in (i) the jurisdiction where such Lender is organized or (ii) any jurisdiction in which
such Lender maintains a lending office which is applicable to the Transactions contemplated
hereunder (each such non-excluded item being called a “Lender’s Tax”). In the event that any
withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrowers hereunder is required in
respect of any Lender’s Tax pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Greektown
Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall,
(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld
or deducted;
(b) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other
documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such
authority; and
(c) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional
amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each
Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or
deduction been required.
Moreover, if any Lender’s Tax is directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender
with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Lender’s Tax and the Borrowers will promptly pay
such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order
that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Lender’s Tax (including any
Lender’s Tax on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had
not such Lender’s Tax been asserted.
If Greektown Holdings and its Subsidiaries fail to pay any Lender’s Tax when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
66
respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Greektown
Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental Lender’s Tax,
interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure. For
purposes of this Section 4.6, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrowers.
Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or
a State thereof (for purposes of this Section 4.6, a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, prior to the
date on which any Loan is made or Letter of Credit is issued hereunder (or in the case of a Lender
that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11 or any Assignee Lender,
before it becomes a party hereto) (a) execute and deliver to Greektown Holdings and the
Administrative Agent one or more (as Greektown Holdings or the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or such other forms or
documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, certifying in each case that
such Lender or Assignee Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and an applicable Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-9 or successor applicable form (if required by
law), as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax or
(b) if such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” or other person described in Section 881 (c) (3) of the
Code and cannot deliver either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (a) above,
execute and deliver to Greektown Holdings and the Administrative Agent one or more (as Greektown
Holdings or Administrative Agent may reasonably request) copies of the Tax Certificate, Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8ECI (or any successor form) and any other certificate or statement of exemption required
under the Code or Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, appropriately completed, certifying that
such Lender or Assignee Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax and establishing an exemption from
United States backup withholding tax. All Lenders other than Non-U.S. Lenders shall, prior to the
date on which any Loan is made or Letter of Credit is issued hereunder (or in the case of a Lender
that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11 or is an Assignee Lender,
before such Lender becomes a party hereto), execute and deliver to Greektown Holdings and the
Administrative Agent one or more copies (as Greektown Holdings or Administrative Agent may
reasonably request) of United States Internal Revenue Form W-9 or successor applicable form (if
required by law), as the case may be, to establish exemption from United States backup withholding
tax.
Each Lender which undertakes to deliver to Greektown Holdings a Tax Certificate, a Form
W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall further undertake to
deliver to Greektown Holdings two further copies of said Tax Certificate, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI
or Form W-9 (if required by law), or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification,
as the case may be, on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the
occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered by it to Greektown
Holdings and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably
requested by Greektown Holdings or Administrative Agent, certifying in the case of a Tax
Certificate, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any
case an event (including any change in
67
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which such delivery would
otherwise be required which renders all forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from
duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-8BEN,
Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, establishing an exemption from backup withholding.
SECTION 4.7 Payments, Computations, etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all
payments by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan
Document shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the
Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the
Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such
account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to Greektown
Holdings. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the
Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. All interest (including interest on LIBO Rate
Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first
day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is
payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan
(calculated at other than the Federal Funds Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days).
Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term
“Interest Period”) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.
SECTION 4.8 Sharing of Payments. If any Additional Loan Lender or Original Lender, as
applicable, shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by
application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan or Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or
4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained
by all other Additional Loan Lenders or Original Lenders, as applicable, such Additional Loan
Lender or Original Lender, as applicable, shall purchase from the other Additional Loan Lenders or
Original Lenders, as applicable, such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably
with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess
payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall
be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to
the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an
amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(a) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender
to
(b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender)
68
of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total
amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from
another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all
its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of
such participation. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any
Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender
shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner
consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of
any recovery on such secured claim.
SECTION 4.9 Setoff. Each Lender shall, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and
apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for
such Obligations) each Borrower hereby grants upon the execution of this Agreement to each Lender a
continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of
such Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided, however,
that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of applicable Legal
Requirements (including prohibitions against any such appropriation and application with respect to
payroll and trust accounts of the Borrowers maintained with such Lender) and Section 4.8.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Greektown Holdings and the Administrative Agent after any
such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 4.10 Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment
under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, or 4.6, or if any adoption or change
of the type described in Section 4.1 shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as
such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate
a different lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for
the Borrowers to make payments under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, or
4.6, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in
Section 4.1.
SECTION 4.11 Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender hereby severally agrees as set forth
in this Section. If
(a) (i) any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) makes demand upon the Borrowers for (or if
the Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 4.3,
4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 and the payment of such additional amounts are, and
are likely to continue to be, more onerous in the reasonable judgment of Greektown Holdings
than with respect to the other Lenders or (ii) a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the
Borrowers (or, with respect to any Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender which is also a
Revolving Lender), the Issuer) may, within thirty (30) days of receipt by Greektown Holdings
(or the Issuer) of such demand or notice (or the occurrence of such other event
69
causing the Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation) or from the date that
such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, give notice in writing to the
Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender or such Defaulting Lender of its intention to
replace such Affected Lender or such Defaulting Lender, with another financial institution
and, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, designate the financial
institution which is to replace such Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender. The
Administrative Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Greektown
Holdings (or the Issuer) in replacing such Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender. If the
Administrative Agent shall, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and within thirty
(30) days of its receipt of the notice which so designates such financial institution,
notify Greektown Holdings (or the Issuer) and such Affected Lender or such Defaulting Lender
in writing that the designated financial institution is satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuer (provided, however, that (i) neither the Administrative
Agent’s nor the Issuer’s consent shall be required where such financial institution is
already a Lender or an Approved Fund which has been approved, if required, by the MGCB and
(ii) the Issuer’s consent shall not be required in the case that any such Affected Lender or
Defaulting Lender is not a Revolving Lender), then such Affected Lender or such Defaulting
Lender shall, subject to any approval rights of the MGCB and to the payment of any amounts
due pursuant to Section 4.4 by the Borrowers, assign, in accordance with Section
13.11.1, all of its Commitments, Loans, its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and all other Loan Documents (including Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations, if
applicable) to such designated financial institution; provided, however,
that (i) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (except as to
(x) such Affected Lender’s or such Defaulting Lender’s then existing Commitment Amount(s)
and the outstanding principal amount of Loans held by such Affected Lender or such
Defaulting Lender and (y) the absence of Liens arising by, through and under the Affected
Lender or such Defaulting Lender) and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to such Affected Lender or such Defaulting Lender and such designated financial
institution, (ii) the purchase price paid by such designated financial institution shall be
in the amount of such Affected Lender’s or such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and its Percentage
of outstanding Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts
demanded and unreimbursed under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and
4.6), owing to such Affected Lender or such Defaulting Lender hereunder and (iii)
the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent in
connection with such assignment and assumption (including the processing fees described in
Section 13.11.1).
(b) (i) If S&P, Xxxxx’x, Fitch (Individual Rating) or Xxxxxxxx’x BankWatch (or
InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or
Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings
Service) (or Duff & Xxxxxx, Inc., if such Lender is neither an Approved Fund or an insurance
company nor rated by S&P, Xxxxx’x, Fitch or Xxxxxxxx’x BankWatch)) shall, after the date
that any Person becomes a Lender and prior to the date that all of the Commitments of such
Lender have been fully funded, downgrade the long term certificate of deposit rating or
long-term senior unsecured debt
70
rating of such Lender (a “Downgraded Lender”), and the resulting ratings shall be below
BBB+, Baa1, C or C (or BB, in the case of Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the
case of an insurance company rated by Best’s Insurance Reports (or BBB+, in the case of a
Lender (other than an Approved Fund) which is neither rated by S&P, Xxxxx’x, Fitch or
Xxxxxxxx’x BankWatch nor an insurance company))), respectively, or the equivalent, Greektown
Holdings (or the Issuer) may, within thirty (30) days of receipt by Greektown Holdings (or,
with respect to any Downgraded Lender which is also a Revolving Lender), the Issuer) of
notice of such downgrade and while such downgrade is in effect, give notice in writing to
the Administrative Agent and such Downgraded Lender (and Greektown Holdings) of its
intention to replace such Downgraded Lender (or have such Downgraded Lender replaced) with
another financial institution and, within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice,
designate the financial institution which is to replace such Downgraded Lender. The
Administrative Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Greektown
Holdings in replacing such Downgraded Lender. If the Administrative Agent and the Issuer
shall, in the exercise of their reasonable discretion and within thirty (30) days of their
receipt of the notice which so designates such financial institution, notify Greektown
Holdings and such Downgraded Lender in writing that the designated financial institution is
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (such consent not being required
where such financial institution is already a Lender or an Approved Fund and has also
obtained all necessary approvals, if required, by the MGCB), then such Downgraded Lender
shall, subject to any approval rights of the MGCB and the payment of any amounts due
pursuant to Section 4.4 by the Borrowers, assign, in accordance with Section
13.11.1, all of its Commitments, Loans, its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and all other Loan Documents (including Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations, if
applicable) to such designated financial institution; provided, however,
that (1) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty (except as to
(A) such Downgraded Lender’s then existing Commitment Amount(s) and the principal amount of
Loans held by such Downgraded Lender and (B) the absence of Liens arising by, through and
under the Downgraded Lender) and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to
such Downgraded Lender and such designated financial institution, (2) the purchase price
paid by such designated financial institution shall be in the amount of such Downgraded
Lender’s Loans and its Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other
amounts (including the amounts demanded and unreimbursed under Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.5 and 4.6), owing to such Downgraded Lender hereunder and (3)
the Borrowers shall pay to the Downgraded Lender and the Administrative Agent all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Downgraded Lender and the Administrative Agent in
connection with such assignment and assumption (including the processing fees described in
Section 13.11.1).
(ii) In the event Greektown Holdings is unable to replace such Downgraded Lender
at least sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Expiry Date of any existing Letter of
Credit, then the Issuer shall not be obligated to extend or replace any such Letter
of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1.3 unless Greektown Holdings and its
Subsidiaries shall deposit in cash with the Administrative Agent no later than
thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Expiry Date of such existing Letter of Credit
an amount equal to the then existing Letter of Credit Reimbursement
71
Obligation of such Downgraded Lender (provided, however, if the
notice given by the Issuer pursuant to item (i) of this clause (b)
shall be given less than sixty (60) days prior to such Stated Expiry Date Greektown
Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to
the Stated Expiry Date, either replace such Downgraded Lender or make such deposit).
The amounts deposited by Greektown Holdings and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this
item (ii) shall be held as collateral security for the Letter of Credit
Reimbursement Obligations and shall be disbursed in accordance with a cash
collateral account agreement which shall provide, in relevant part, that all amounts
deposited by Greektown Holdings and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this item
(ii) shall be returned to Greektown Holdings within a reasonable period of time
after it replaces such Downgraded Lender and otherwise shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer.
(c) To the extent applicable, if the MGCB shall determine that any Lender (an
“Unsuitable Lender”) does not meet the suitability standards prescribed under any applicable
Michigan Gaming Law or the suitability standards of such gaming authority, as the case may
be, Greektown Holdings may give notice in writing to the Administrative Agent and such
Unsuitable Lender of its intention to replace such Unsuitable Lender with a financial
institution designated in such notice. If the Administrative Agent shall, in the exercise
of its reasonable discretion and promptly following its receipt of such notice, notify
Greektown Holdings and such Unsuitable Lender in writing that the designated financial
institution is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (provided,
however, that (i) neither the Administrative Agent’s nor the Issuer’s consent shall
be required where such financial institution is already a Lender or an Approved Fund which
has been approved, if required, by the MGCB and (ii) the Issuer’s consent shall not be
required in the case that any such Unsuitable Lender is not a Revolving Lender), then such
Unsuitable Lender shall, subject to any approval rights of the MGCB and the payment of any

fails to find a substitute
72
financial institution within any time specified by the MGCB for the withdrawal of such
Unsuitable Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), Greektown Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall,
if required by the MGCB, pay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made by
such Unsuitable Lender (without giving effect to Section 4.8) and shall be deemed to
have requested a reduction in each of the aggregate amounts of the Commitment Amounts
relating to all Commitments held by such Lender, in each case, in an amount equal to such
Unsuitable Lender’s then existing Commitment Amounts.
(d) Upon any termination or assignment described in clauses (a), (b) or (c), such
replaced Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of any provisions of this Agreement which by their terms survive the termination of

exercise of its reasonable discretion and within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the
notice which so designates such financial institution, notifies Greektown Holdings and the
Issuer in writing that the designated financial institution is satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (such consent not being required where such financial institution is
already a Lender or an Approved Fund and has also obtained all necessary approvals, if
required, by the MGCB), then the Issuer shall, subject to any approval rights of the MGCB
and the payment of any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.4 by Greektown Holdings and
its Subsidiaries, assign, in accordance with Section 13.11.1, all of its Letter of

payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without further notice, demand or
presentment, or, as the case may be, the Commitments shall terminate and the Borrowers shall
automatically and immediately be obligated to deposit or cause to be deposited with the

accordance with Section 2.6.4. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction
with respect to all matters relating to the exercise of rights and remedies under the DIP Facility,
the Interim Order, the Amended Final Order and with respect to the Prepetition Collateral and the
DIP Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, after direction by the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall, without further notice of default, presentment or demand for payment,
protest or notice of non-payment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind, all such
notices and demands being waived (to the extent permitted by applicable law), exercise any or all
rights and remedies at law or in equity (in any combination or order that the Lenders may elect,
subject to the foregoing), including, without prejudice to the Lenders’ other rights and remedies,
the following:

Parcels, the Trappers Alley Parcel, the Development Parcels and the Permanent Casino Complex
for such purposes, and any sums expended for such purposes shall become part of the
Indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Mortgage and the Realty Equity Mortgage, as

otherwise deal with all and every part of the Site, the Surplus Parcels, the Trappers Alley
Parcel, the Development Parcels and conduct business thereat, (v) take possession of all

in which event such notice, exercise of remedies or taking of action shall be an Event of Default.
ARTICLE X
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 10.1 Designation of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby makes the
following designations:
(a) Each Lender hereby designates MLCC to act as the Administrative Agent under and for
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and authorizes MLCC, in its capacity
as the Administrative Agent, to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, MLCC accepts such
appointment and agrees to act as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and to
perform the duties of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent,
at its option, may delegate its duties, rights and powers, and that each sub-agent shall
implement all such duties, rights and powers on behalf of the Administrative Agent that are
required of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and
such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers
through their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors.
The exculpatory provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply to such sub-agent and each
such Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent and advisor and to their respective
activities. The Administrative Agent may replace such sub-agent upon consent of the Required
Lenders and the exculpatory provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply to such
replacement sub-agent.
(b) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, in the absence of other written
instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Administrative
Agent (with respect to which the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as
otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel in order to avoid
contravention of applicable law), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are
specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent, by the
134
terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental
thereto.
(c) Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of
this Agreement) the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to such
Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, consultants’ fees and as to which the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by or on
behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims,
costs or expenses (i) which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
proceeding to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent or (ii) which arise from the failure of another Lender to make its
portion of the Commitment Amount available or to advance such Lender’s Percentage of any
Loans to be made to the Borrowers (in which case such other Lender shall have responsibility
for indemnification therefor). The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action hereunder or under any other Operative Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit
in respect of this Agreement or any other Operative Document, unless the Administrative
Agent is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the
Administrative Agent shall be or become, in the respective determination of the
Administrative Agent, inadequate, the Administrative Agent may call for additional
indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder
until such additional indemnity is given.
SECTION 10.2 Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which would
constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and
to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the
Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrowers to the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such
Borrowing in the case of the Borrowers and at the Federal Funds Rate (in the case of a Lender) (for
the first two (2) Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid) and thereafter at the
interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section shall affect
or impair the rights or remedies of the Borrowers against such Lender so long as such amount and
interest, if any, has been repaid by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.3 Exculpation. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Administrative Agent’s directors,
135
officers, employees or agents (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) shall have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as shall be required by Section
13.1), (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, shall have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for failure to disclose any information relating to Greektown Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, (iv) shall be liable for any action taken by the
Administrative Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number of Lenders as shall be required by Section 13.1), (v) shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative
Agent by Greektown Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or a Lender, (vi) shall be liable to any
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for the Administrative Agent’s own bad
faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence, (vii) shall be responsible for any recitals or
warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (viii) shall be responsible for the creation,
perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, (ix)
shall be responsible for the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency
of any collateral security or (x) shall have any duty to make any inquiry respecting the
performance by Greektown Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document. Any inquiry which may be made by the Administrative Agent shall not
obligate the Administrative Agent to make any further inquiry or take any action. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and
upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the Administrative Agent believes
to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.
SECTION 10.4 Successors. The Administrative Agent may resign as such at any time upon
at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders. If the Administrative
Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may, after consultation with Greektown
Holdings (but only if no Default then exists hereunder) and subject to any required approval of the
MGCB and the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement, appoint another Lender as a
successor to the Administrative Agent which shall thereupon become the Administrative Agent
hereunder. If no successor for the Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and after consultation with Greektown Holdings (such
consultation being required only if no Default then exists hereunder) and subject to any required
approval of the MGCB and the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement, appoint a successor
to act in the capacity of such retiring Administrative Agent which shall be one of the Lenders or a
commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the U.S. (or any State thereof) or a
U.S. branch or agency of a commercial banking institution and having (x) a combined capital and
surplus of at least $250,000,000 and (y) a credit rating of AA or better by Xxxxx’x or a comparable
rating by S&P; provided, however, that if, after expending all reasonable
commercial efforts, such retiring Administrative Agent is unable to find a commercial banking
institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets
136
the qualifications set forth in item (y), such retiring Administrative Agent
shall be permitted to appoint as its successor from all available commercial banking institutions
willing to accept such appointment such institution having the highest credit rating of all such
available and willing institutions. Upon the acceptance of any appointment by a successor
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive
from the retiring Administrative Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor
Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of
(a) this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by such retiring Agent while it was the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, as applicable; and
(b) Section 13.3 and Section 13.4 shall continue to inure to its
benefit.
SECTION 10.5 Loans by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have
the same rights and powers with respect to the Credit Extensions made by it or any of its
Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
and generally engage in any kind of business with Greektown Holdings, its Subsidiaries, Kewadin,
Monroe, the Authority, the Tribe or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as if such Person was not
the Administrative Agent hereunder.
SECTION 10.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of
the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial
information of Greektown Holdings, its Subsidiaries, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the
terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents,
information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision
to extend its Commitments. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the
Administrative Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and
investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions
as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to
the contrary herein, with respect to any Default hereunder, no Lender shall exercise any
independent rights, remedies or options against Greektown Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than pursuant to Section 4.9) hereunder or any other action that is not pursuant to
the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.7 Copies, etc. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each
Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent by
or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrowers). The
Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its
account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from or on
behalf of the Borrowers for distribution to the Lenders by the
137
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.
SECTION 10.8 Consultants and Reports. (a) The Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, may remove from time to time the Independent Consultants and appoint replacements as
the Administrative Agent may choose in accordance with this Agreement. As soon as practicable,
notice of any replacement Independent Consultant shall be given by the Administrative Agent to
Greektown Holdings, and the Independent Consultant being replaced. All reasonable fees and
expenses of the Independent Consultants (whether the original ones or replacements) shall be paid
by or on behalf of the Borrowers.
(b) Each of the Independent Consultants shall be contractually obligated to the
Administrative Agent to carry out the activities required of it in the Loan Documents and as
otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent. Greektown Holdings and each of its
Subsidiaries acknowledges that it will not have any cause of action or claim against any
Independent Consultant resulting from any decision made or not made, any action taken or not
taken or any advice given by such Independent Consultant in the due performance in good
faith of its duties except for the gross negligence and willful misconduct of the
Independent Consultant; provided, however, the foregoing standard of care
shall not affect the standard of care which is required under any letter or agreement
pursuant to which an Independent Consultant was engaged or the rights, remedies and options
of the Lenders under any such letter or agreement.
SECTION 10.9 The Lead Arranger and the Co-Managers. The Lead Arranger and the
Co-Managers hereunder shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or
duty under this Agreement (or any other Loan Document) other than those applicable to it in its
capacity as a Lender to the extent it is a Lender hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Lender so identified as the “Lead Arranger” or a “Co-Manager” shall not have or be deemed to have
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and
will not rely, on the Lender so identified as the “Lead Arranger” or a “Co-Manager” in deciding to
enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party or in taking or not
taking action hereunder or thereunder.
ARTICLE XI

any other action in order to validate or perfect the Lien and security interest granted by or
pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Orders.

GUARANTY
SECTION 12.1 Guaranty. To induce the Lenders to provide the credits described herein
and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrowers by reason of the Delayed Draw

other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Subsidiary
Guarantor party hereto hereby unconditionally and irrevocably ratifies and reaffirms its
Obligations under the Original DIP Credit Agreement and guarantees jointly and severally to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuer, the due and punctual payment of all present and
future Obligations, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of and
interest on the Loans, the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual

in each case as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof (including interest as set
forth in the Orders). In case of failure by the Borrowers or other Obligor punctually to pay any
Obligations guaranteed hereby, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees to make such
payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and
payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were
made by the Borrowers or such Obligor, it being agreed that this is a guaranty of payment as
opposed to a guaranty of collection.
SECTION 12.2 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor
under this Article XII shall be unconditional, irrevocable and absolute and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected
by:

any obligation of the Borrowers or other Obligor or of any other guarantor under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;

guarantor contained in any Loan Document;
140
(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which any Borrower or other
Obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;
(e) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of,
or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Borrowers or other Obligor, any

(f) any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
obligation of the Borrowers or other Obligor, regardless of what obligations of the
Borrowers or other Obligor remain unpaid;
(g) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrowers or other
Obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan
Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment
by the Borrowers or other Obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on
any Loan or any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under
the Loan Documents; or
(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the
provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations
of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article XII.
SECTION 12.3 Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain
Circumstances. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XII shall
remain in full force and effect until the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Loan
Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments are terminated, all Letters of Credit have
expired, and the principal of and interest on the Loans, all Letter of Credit Reimbursement
Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this
Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of
the principal of or interest on any Loan or any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligation or any
other amount payable by the Borrowers or other Obligor or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan
Documents is rescinded, or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this
Article XII with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such
payment had become due but had not been made at such time.
SECTION 12.4 Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any
rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise,
until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full subsequent to the termination of all the
Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, all the Revolving Loan Commitments and all the Letter of Credit
Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit. If any amount shall be paid to a Subsidiary
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment
in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder and the other
Loan Documents and (y) the termination of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving
Loan Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments and expiration of all Letters of Credit, such
amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
141
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or be credited and
applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 12.5 Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement
that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person
against the Borrowers or other Obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.
SECTION 12.6 Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right
of recovery against each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article XII shall be limited to
the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without rendering such Guarantor’s obligations under this
Article XII void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation,
fraudulent conveyance law.
SECTION 12.7 Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, in the
event the DIP Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 9.2 and if such event shall occur
at a time when any of the Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Obligor may not then be due
and payable, such Subsidiary Guarantor will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Secured Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Borrower or
Obligor if all such Obligations were then due and payable.
SECTION 12.8 Benefit to Subsidiary Guarantors. The Borrowers and the Subsidiary
Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial
strength and flexibility of the Borrowers has a direct impact on the success of each Subsidiary
Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the
extensions of credit hereunder.
SECTION 12.9 Subsidiary Guarantor Covenants. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall take
such action as the Borrowers are required by this Agreement to cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to
take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrowers are required by this Agreement to prohibit such Subsidiary
Guarantor from taking.

not to make any claim or bring any cost recovery action against the Administrative Agent, the Issuer or
any Lender under CERCLA or any state equivalent, or any similar law now existing or hereafter
enacted. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any of the Indemnified
Parties is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws, each Borrower’s obligation to such Person
under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of either Borrower with
respect to the violation or condition which results in liability of such Person. If and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Borrower hereby
agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 13.3 and 13.4, and the obligations of the

Agreement, the payment in full of all the Obligations and the termination of all the Commitments.
The representations and warranties made by the Borrowers and each other Obligor in this Agreement
and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each
such other Loan Document.
SECTION 13.6 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and
146
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without

executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all
of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become

and each Lender (or notice thereof satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) shall have been

Agent to the Borrowers and each Lender.
SECTION 13.9 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT (INCLUDING PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO INTEREST, LOAN CHARGES AND COMMITMENT FEES) SHALL
EACH BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR
DEED OF TRUST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Agreement, the
Orders, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters constitute the entire understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all
prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.
SECTION 13.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that:
(a) neither Borrower may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without

(b) the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are subject to
Section 13.11.
SECTION 13.11 Sale and Transfer of Loans; Participations in Loans. Each Lender may
assign, or sell participations in, its Loans, Letters of Credit and Commitments to one or more
other Persons in accordance with this Section 13.11.
SECTION 13.11.1 Assignments. Subject to any required approval of the MGCB and the
terms and conditions of the Development Agreement and upon prior notice to the Administrative Agent
and consultation with Greektown Holdings (but only if no Default then
147
exists hereunder), any Lender with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (provided, however,
that no such notice to the Administrative Agent or consultation with Greektown Holdings shall be
required with respect to any assignment or sale by MLCC; and further provided,
however, that (i) such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld by the
Administrative Agent or the Issuer if the assignee is exempt from the supplier licensing
requirements under applicable Michigan Gaming Laws and (ii) the consent of the Issuer shall only be
required with respect to assignments made by Revolving Lenders) may assign or sell all or any
fraction of such Lender’s total Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and Commitments to an Eligible
Assignee (each Person described in either of the foregoing clauses as being the Person to whom such
assignment and delegation is to be made, being hereinafter referred to as an “Assignee Lender”) in
a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 with respect to the Loans (or, if less, the entire
remaining amount of such Lender’s Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and Commitments) or such
lesser amount agreed to by Greektown Holdings and the Administrative Agent, provided,
that such minimum aggregate amount shall not be applicable in the case of assignments by
such Lender to another Lender, any Approved Fund or its Affiliate. The Borrowers and each other
Obligor and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee Lender until
(a) notice of such assignment and delegation, together with (i) payment instructions,
(ii) the Internal Revenue Service Forms or other statements contemplated or required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 4.6 and (iii) addresses and related information with
respect to such Assignee Lender (including, if required, information required by the MGCB),
shall have been delivered to Greektown Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (in
the case of the Issuer, only with respect to Assignee Lenders which will be Revolving
Lenders after such assignment) by such Lender and such Assignee Lender;
(b) such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Issuer (in the case of the Issuer, only with respect to
Assignee Lenders which will be Revolving Lenders after such assignment) a Lender Assignment
Agreement, accepted by the Administrative Agent and the Issuer (in the case of the Issuer,
only with respect to Assignee Lenders which will be Revolving Lenders after such
assignment);
(c) the processing fees described below shall have been paid; and
(d) the Lender Assignment Agreement has been registered in the Register in accordance
with Section 2.7.
From and after the date that the Administrative Agent (and the Issuer, as may be required under
this Section 13.11.1) accepts such Lender Assignment Agreement and records the information
therein in the Register, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have
become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
and delegated to such Assignee Lender in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall
have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y)
the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have
148
been assigned and delegated by it in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Within five (5) Business Days after its
receipt of notice that the Administrative Agent (and the Issuer, as may be required under this
Section 13.11.1) has received and accepted an executed Lender Assignment Agreement and
recorded such assignment in the Register in accordance with Section 2.7. Accrued interest
on that part of each assigned Loan and Commitment, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in
the Lender Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time
or times provided in this Agreement. Such assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender must also pay a
processing fee in the amount of (i) $500 in the case of an assignment via an electronic settlement
system designated by the Administrative Agent or (ii) $3,500 in all other cases to the
Administrative Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement; provided,
however, that only one fee shall be payable for simultaneous multiple assignments made by a
Lender to or from its Affiliates; and further, provided, however, that no
such fee shall be due from the assignor Lender or the Assignee Lender with respect to any Lender
Assignment Agreement to which MLCC is a party or if the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, elects to waive such fee. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 13.11.1 shall be null
and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, any Lender may (without
requesting the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) pledge its Loans to a Federal
Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, and any
Lender that is an investment fund that invests in bank loans may, without the consent of the
Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights (but
may not delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
including its Commitment(s), if any) to any trustee or any other representative of holders of
obligations owed or securities issued by such investment fund as security for such obligations or
securities.
SECTION 13.11.2 Participations. Subject to any required approval of the MGCB and the
terms and conditions of the Development Agreement and upon prior written notice to Greektown
Holdings and the Administrative Agent, any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial
banks or other Persons (other than an Obligor or an Affiliate of an Obligor) (each of such
commercial banks and other Persons being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in
any of the Loans, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that
(a) no participation contemplated in this Section shall relieve such Lender from its
Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitments
and such other obligations;
(c) the Borrowers and each other Obligor and the Administrative Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;
(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender or an
Approved Fund or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or
149
refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such
Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s
consent, take any actions of the type described in clauses (a), (b),
(f) or, to the extent requiring the consent of such Lender, clause (c) of
Section 13.1;
(e) the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount under this Agreement that is
greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating
interest been sold;
(f) each Participant shall provide promptly after request and in any event not later
than ten (10) Business Days after such request (or shorter period of time if required by the
MGCB) all information required by the MGCB; and
(g) no sale of any participation interest shall be effective until such sale has been
recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 2.7.
Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8 or 4.9 shall be considered a Lender.
Each Participant shall only be indemnified for increased costs pursuant to Section 4.3,
4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 if and to the extent that the Lender which sold such
participating interest to such Participant concurrently is entitled to make, and does make, a claim
on the Borrowers for such increased costs. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any
Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant under this Section 13.11.2 shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent from and against any Taxes,
penalties, interest or other costs or losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
incurred or payable by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure of
either Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold
any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not have been incurred or payable if such Participant
had been a Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States that was
entitled to deliver to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and did in fact so
deliver, a duly completed and valid Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-9 (or applicable successor form)
entitling such Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal taxes.
SECTION 13.12 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the
Administrative Agent, the Issuer or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition
to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Greektown Holdings or any
of its Affiliates in which either Greektown Holdings or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby
from engaging with any other Person.
SECTION 13.13 Execution by Authorized Representative. Any signature by any Authorized
Representative on this Agreement, any Loan Document and any other instrument and certificate
executed or to be executed pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or such other Loan
Documents is provided only in such Authorized Representative’s capacity as an officer or member of
the Person in question, and not in any way in such Authorized Representative’s personal capacity.
150
SECTION 13.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE
ISSUER, EACH BORROWER AND EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT
OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR
WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE ISSUER, THE BORROWERS OR THE
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. EACH BORROWER AND EACH SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS
PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT
THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND EACH ISSUER
ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
SECTION 13.15 Maximum Rate of Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Documents shall be construed to permit the Lenders to charge or receive at any time
interest, fees or other charges in excess of the amounts which the Lenders are legally entitled to
charge and receive under any law to which such interest, fees or charges are subject. In no
contingency or event whatsoever shall the compensation payable to the Lenders by any Person,
howsoever characterized or computed, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, exceed the
highest rate permissible under any law to which such compensation is subject. There is no
intention that the Lenders shall contract for, charge or receive compensation in excess of the
highest lawful rate, and, in the event it should be determined that the Lenders have contracted for
any rate of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate, then ipso facto such rate shall be
reduced to the highest lawful rate so that no amounts shall be charged or received which are in
excess thereof, and, in the event it should be determined that any excess over such highest lawful
rate has been charged or received, the Lenders shall promptly refund such excess to the Person
entitled thereto; provided, however, that, if lawful, any such excess shall be paid
by the Borrowers to the Lenders as additional interest (accruing at a rate equal to the maximum
legal rate minus the rate provided for hereunder) during any subsequent period when regular
interest is accruing hereunder at less than the maximum legal rate.
SECTION 13.16 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence as to all times and dates set
forth in or applicable to this Agreement with respect to all payments to be made by or on behalf of
the Borrowers hereunder; provided, however, that whenever any payment to be made
under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of interest payable hereunder.
SECTION 13.17 Consent or Approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(a) Any request by the Borrowers for consent or approval by the Administrative Agent
and/or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents shall be
given in writing in accordance with Section 13.2. Except
151
where a specific time period for response is otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have five
(5) Business Days and the Lenders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days to grant or deny any
such request. If the Administrative Agent fails to respond to any such request in writing
within such five (5) Business Day period or the Lenders fail to respond to any such request
in writing within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the Borrowers’ request shall be
deemed disapproved.
(b) No Claims may be made by the Borrowers or any other Person against the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Affiliate of the foregoing, or the officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents of any of them for consequential or
punitive damages in respect of any Claim for breach of contract or any other theory of
liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by
the other Operative Documents, or an act, omission, or event occurring in connection
therewith; and each Borrower, for itself and for all Persons claiming by, through and under
it, waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any Claim for any such damages, whether or
not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
SECTION 13.18 No Third Party Beneficiary. All conditions of the obligations of the
Lenders to make Loans hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Lenders,
and no Person (x) shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to
assume that the Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of strict compliance with any or
all of such conditions or (y) shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary under
this Agreement or of such conditions, any or all of which may be waived in whole or in part by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time if they, in their sole discretion, deem it
advisable to do so. The waiver by the Lenders at any time of any of such conditions shall be
deemed to be made pursuant to, and not in modification of, this Agreement.
SECTION 13.19 Cumulative Remedies. No right or remedy conferred upon the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy contained in the other Loan Documents or at law and equity and every such right and
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy contained in the
other Loan Documents and as now or hereafter available to the Lenders at law or in equity, by
statute or otherwise.
SECTION 13.20 Estoppel Certificates. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall,
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent all
instruments and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including estoppel
certificates certifying that the Loans and each of the Loan Documents are in full force and effect
and that there are no defenses or offsets, claims or counterclaims with respect thereto or if there
are, stating the nature of such defenses, offsets, claims or counterclaims) to effect, confirm or
assure the rights, remedies and Liens intended to be granted to the Lenders under the Loan
Documents.
SECTION 13.21 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
152
(a) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor is accepting joint and several
liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial
accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and each
Subsidiary Guarantor and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers and
Subsidiary Guarantors to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.
(b) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor,
joint and several liability with the other Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors, with respect
to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any
Obligations arising under this Section 13.21), it being the intention of the parties
hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower
and each Subsidiary Guarantor without preferences or distinction between them.
(c) If and to the extent that either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall fail to
make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due, or to perform any
of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other
Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such
Obligation.
(d) The Obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor under the provisions
of this Section 13.21 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse
Obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable against each such
Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor to the full extent of its properties and assets,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other
circumstances whatsoever.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower and each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability,
notice of any borrowings issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the
occurrence of any Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of
any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or
in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages
and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, all demands, notices and other
formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement). Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby assents to, and waives
notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the
Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the performance or satisfaction of any term,
covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever
by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the
taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in
153
part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in
part, of either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor assents to any other action or
delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Administrative Agent or Lender with
respect to the failure by either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with any of
its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or
diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable
laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section
13.21, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving either Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this
Section 13.21, it being the intention of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor
that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of
such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 13.21 shall not be
discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
Obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 13.21
shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either
Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The joint and
several liability of the Persons composing Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation
or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any of the
Persons composing Borrowers, Subsidiary Guarantor or the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(f) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor is
currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and the other
Subsidiary Guarantors and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal
and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower and each
Subsidiary Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor has read and understands the terms and
conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
covenants that such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor will continue to keep informed of the
Borrowers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ financial condition, the financial condition of
other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of
nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
(g) The provisions of this Section 13.21 are made for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be
enforced by it or them from time to time against either or both of the Borrowers and any of
the Subsidiary Guarantor as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on
the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any
of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other
Borrower or the other Subsidiary Guarantors or to exhaust any remedies available to it or
them against the other Borrower or the other Subsidiary Guarantors to resort to any other
source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations
154
hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 13.21 shall remain in effect until all
of the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If at any time, any payment, or any part
thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or otherwise, the
provisions of this Section 13.21 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though
such payment had not been made.
(h) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not enforce
any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrower or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time
as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which either Borrower
or any Subsidiary Guarantor may have against the other Borrower or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder
or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right
of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or
thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar
proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to either Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, their debts or their assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such
Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any
character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to the other
Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors therefor.
(i) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that the payment of any
amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing by either Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor to the other Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors are hereby subordinated to the
prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any
indebtedness of the other Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors owing to such Borrower or to
any such Subsidiary Guarantor until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor shall
collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall
be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for
the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall deliver any such amounts to the
Lenders for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.1.2.
SECTION 13.22 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative
155
Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
