(b) Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or

(ii) except for Borrowings for the acquisition of Future Properties
by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, the Borrower may not request Borrowings

(iii) at no time shall there be more than five Interest Periods
applicable to outstanding LIBOR Rate Advances;
(iv) the Borrower may not select LIBOR Rate Advances for any
Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if a Default has occurred and
is continuing;
(v) if any Bank shall, at any time prior to the making of any
requested Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Rate Advances, notify the
Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful,
for such Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under
this Agreement to make LIBOR Rate Advances or to fund or maintain LIBOR
Rate Advances, then such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing shall be
made as a Prime Rate Advance, provided that such Prime Rate Advance shall
be considered part of the same Borrowing and interest on such Prime Rate
Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the
LIBOR Rate Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due
and payable; and such Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the
making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise materially
disadvantageous to such Bank;
(vi) if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR
Rate for LIBOR Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the right
of the Borrower to select LIBOR Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for any
subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the
-35-
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance
comprising such Borrowing shall be a Prime Rate Advance;
(vii) if the Majority Banks shall, at least one Business Day before
the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that
the LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making or funding their
respective LIBOR Rate Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the
right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Rate Advances for such Borrowing or
for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such
Borrowing shall be a Prime Rate Advance; and
(viii) if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or
continuation of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Advances in
accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of "Interest
Period" in Section 1.01 and paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative
Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Banks and such Advances
will be made available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as
Prime Rate Advances or, if an existing Advance, Converted into Prime Rate
Advances.
(d) Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion
-------------------
or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case
of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be
comprised of LIBOR Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against
any loss, out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of any
condition precedent for Borrowing set forth in Article III not being satisfied
for any reason, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense
actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as
part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not
made on such date.
(e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
-----------------------------
have received notice from a Bank before the date of any Borrowing that such Bank
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Share
of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made
its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on
the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02
and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the
-36-
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Bank shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to
immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding
amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable on each such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in
the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. If such Bank
shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and interest
as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such
Bank's Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even
though not made on the same day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing.
(f) Bank Obligations Several. The failure of any Bank to make the Advance
------------------------
to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of
its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing. No

Leasing or any other Participating Lessee which is an Affiliate of the
Borrower, or XXXX in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation
14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), or

Section 2.05 Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay the
---------------------
outstanding principal amount of each Advance on the Maturity Date.
Section 2.06 Interest, Late Payment Fee. The Borrower shall pay interest
--------------------------
on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Bank from the date
of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the
following rates per annum:
(a) Prime Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Prime Rate Advance, a rate
-------------------
per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first
day and excluding the last, based on a 365 day year) equal at all times to the
lesser of (i) the Adjusted Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus the
----
Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the last
Business Day of each calendar month and on the date such Prime Rate Advance
shall be paid in full, provided that during the continuance of an Event of
--------
Default, Prime Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at
all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance
immediately prior to the date on which such amount becomes due plus three
----
percent (3%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate.
(b) LIBOR Rate Advances. If such Advance is a LIBOR Rate Advance, a rate
-------------------
per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first
day and excluding the last, based on a 360 day year) equal at all times during
the Interest Period for such Advance to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR Rate for
such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate,
----
payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period, and on the date such
LIBOR Rate Advance shall be paid in full, and, with respect to LIBOR Rate
Advances having an Interest Period in excess of 30 days, the last day of each
calendar month during such Interest Period excluding the month in which such
LIBOR Rate Advance shall be paid in full; provided that during the continuance
--------
of an Event of Default, LIBOR Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on
such Advance immediately prior to the date on which such amount became due plus
----
three percent (3%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate.
(c) Usury Recapture. In the event the rate of interest chargeable under
---------------
this Agreement or the Notes at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the
unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate
until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Notes equals the
amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Notes if the
stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in
effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Notes, the total amount of
interest paid or accrued under the terms of this
-39-
Agreement and the Notes is less than the total amount of interest which would
have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement
had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Banks an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount
of interest which would have been charged on the Notes if the Maximum Rate had,
at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the Notes if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at
all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid or
accrued under this Agreement on the Notes. In the event the Banks ever receive,
collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess
amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance of the Notes, and if no such principal is then outstanding,
such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.
(d) Other Amounts Overdue. If any amount payable under this Agreement
---------------------
other than the Advances is not paid when due and payable, including without
limitation, accrued interest and fees, then such overdue amount shall accrue
interest hereon due and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the
Adjusted Prime Rate plus three percent (3%), from the date such amount became
----
due until the date such amount is paid in full.
(e) Late Payment Fee. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.12, if any
----------------
interest payable under this Agreement is not paid when due and payable (after
taking into account any applicable grace period), then the Borrower will pay to
the Banks contemporaneously with the payment of such past due interest a late
payment fee equal to an amount equal to the product of (i) such overdue interest
times (ii) four percent (4%).
-----
Section 2.07 Prepayments.
-----------
(a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any
---------------
principal amount of any Advance except as provided in this Section 2.07.
(b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may elect to prepay any of the
--------------------
Advances, after giving by 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) (i) in the case of
LIBOR Rate Advances, at least three Business Days' or (ii) in case of Prime Rate
Advances, at least one Business Day's prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such
prepayment, and if applicable, the relevant Interest Period for the Advances to
be prepaid. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowing
-40-
in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount
specified in such notice, and shall also pay accrued interest to the date of
such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to
be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on
such date; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an
-------- -------
aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000.
(c) Mandatory Prepayments.
---------------------
(i) Change of Control. On the fifth Business Day following the
-----------------
Borrower's receipt of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 2.04(a)
hereof, the Borrower shall be required to prepay all outstanding Advances
in full.
(ii) Total Availability Deficiency. (A) On or prior to the fifth
-----------------------------
(5th) Business Day following a Total Availability Determination Date
occurring under the provisions of Sections 2.14(b) or (c) and (B) on or
prior to the thirtieth (30th) Business Day following a Total Availability
Determination Date occurring under the provisions of Sections 2.14(a), the
Borrower shall be required to prepay Advances or prepay Senior Obligations
in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (Y) the aggregate amount of
outstanding Advances on such date over (Z) the lesser of (1) the Total
Availability, as determined on such Total Availability Determination Date
or (2) the aggregate Commitments at such time.
(iii) Capitalization Event. If any Capitalization Event shall occur
--------------------
and any Net Cash Proceeds of such Capitalization Event are not used to make
an Investment permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.07, then at
the Borrower's election the Borrower shall prepay either (A) Advances (if
no Blockage Period is in effect) or (B) the Senior Obligations on the
Business Day such Net Cash Proceeds are received by the Borrower or the
Parent, as applicable, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount
of the outstanding Advances and Senior Obligations on such Business Day and
(B) 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Capitalization Event not used to
make an Investment permitted pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.07.
(iv) Accrued Interest. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section
----------------
2.07(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to
the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid
pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date.
-41-
(v) Avoidance of Breakage Costs. In the event that the amount of
---------------------------
any mandatory prepayment of Advances under this Section 2.07(c) exceeds the
aggregate principal amount of Advances which consist of Prime Rate Advances
(the amount of such excess being the "Excess Amount"), the Borrower shall
-------------
have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to prepay such
outstanding Advances which are Prime Rate Advances and to deposit an amount
equal to the Excess Amount with the Administrative Agent in the Cash
Collateral Account maintained by and in the sole dominion and control of
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks. Any amount
so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for
the Obligations, earn interest on behalf of the Borrower and be applied to
the prepayment of Advances which are LIBOR Rate Advances at the end of the
current Interest Period(s) applicable thereto. On any day on which amounts
collected in the Cash Collateral Account remain on deposit in or to the
credit of the Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to the payment
made on such day pursuant to this Section 2.07(c), and the Borrower shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written request or a
telephonic request (which shall be promptly confirmed in writing) prior to
11:00 am (Dallas, Texas time) that such remaining collected amounts be
invested in cash equivalents specified in such request, the Administrative
Agent shall invest such funds, to the extent the Administrative Agent is
reasonably able to do so, in such cash equivalents as are acceptable to,
and with no risk to, the Administrative Agent on an overnight basis or with
maturities such that amounts will be available to pay the Obligations
secured thereby as they become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise; provided, however, that any loss resulting from such investments
-------- -------
shall be charged to and be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by
the Administrative Agent.
(d) Ratable Payments. Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this
----------------
Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner
such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole
or ratably in part.
(e) Effect of Notice. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.07
----------------
shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.
Section 2.08 Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of principal of any
--------------
LIBOR Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for
such Advance as a result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise;
(b) any Conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of
the
-42-
Interest Period for such Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise; or (c)
the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest payment with respect to any
LIBOR Rate Advance on the date such payment is due and payable, the Borrower
shall, within 10 days of any written demand sent by any Bank to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Bank any amounts (without duplication of any other amounts
payable in respect of breakage costs) required to compensate such Bank for any
additional losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur
as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any
loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such Advance.
Section 2.09 Increased Costs.
---------------
(a) LIBOR Rate Advances. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any
-------------------
change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve
requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR Rate) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation following the date of this Agreement or
(ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) not complied
with prior to the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the
cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR
Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such
Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), immediately pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts
(without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs)
sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost; provided, however,
-------- -------
that, before making any such demand, each Bank agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making
of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such
increased cost and detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank at the time such Bank demands
payment under this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Bank determines in good faith that
----------------
compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of
law) implemented or effective after the date of this Agreement affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank
and
-43-
that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of
such Bank's commitment to lend and other commitments of this type, then, upon 30
days prior written notice by such Bank(with a copy of any such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank,
additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect
of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Bank, in light of such
circumstances, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase
in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank's commitment to lend
under this Agreement. A certificate as to such amounts and detailing the
calculation of such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
Section 2.10 Payments and Computations.
-------------------------
(a) Payment Procedures. Except if otherwise set forth herein, the
------------------
Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not
later than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the day when due in Dollars to the
Administrative Agent at the location referred to in the Notes (or such other
location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower)
in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will on the same day cause to be
distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees
ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, or a
specific Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.06(c), 2.08, 2.09, 2.11,
2.12, or 2.13(c) but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to
Section 11.04) to the Banks in accordance with each Bank's Pro Rata Share for
the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds
relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Computations. All computations of interest based on the Adjusted
------------
Prime Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of
365 days and all computations of fees and interest based on the LIBOR Rate and
the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of
a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the
first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of
an interest rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.
-44-
(c) Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be
-------------------------
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
--------
principal of LIBOR Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar
month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(d) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
-----------------------------
have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Banks that the Borrower will not make such payment in
full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each
Bank on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to
the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with
interest, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank
until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate for each such day.
(e) Application of Payments. Unless otherwise specified in Section 2.07
-----------------------
hereof, whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable under
this Agreement and the Notes, such payment shall be distributed and applied by
the Administrative Agent and the Banks in the following order: first, to the
-----
payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent under
and in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document; second, to
------
the payment of all expenses due and payable under Section 2.11(c), ratably among
the Banks in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each
such Bank; third, to the payment of all other fees due and payable under Section
-----
2.03; and fourth, to the payment of the interest accrued on and the principal
------
amount of all of the Notes, regardless of whether any such amount is then due
and payable, ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate accrued
interest plus the aggregate principal amount owed to such Bank.
(f) Register. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the
--------
Commitment and the Advances from time to time of each Bank and each repayment or
prepayment in respect to the principal amount of such Advances of each Bank.
Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each
Bank, absent manifest error; provided however, that failure to
-------- -------
-45-
make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
the Borrower's obligations hereunder in respect of such Advances.
Section 2.11 Taxes.
-----
(a) No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower
------------------------------
shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in
the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income,
and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any
political subdivision of the jurisdiction (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as "Taxes") and, in the case of each Bank, Taxes by the jurisdiction
of such Bank's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision of such
jurisdiction. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from
or in respect of any sum payable to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.11), such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made; provided, however, that if the Borrower's obligation to
--------
deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely by such Bank's or the Administrative
Agent's failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (e) of this Section
2.11 and such Bank or the Administrative Agent could have provided such forms,
no such increase shall be required; (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
Legal Requirements.
(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or
-----------
future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges
or similar levies which arise from any payment made or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the
Notes, or the other Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").
(c) Indemnification. The Borrower indemnifies each Bank and the
---------------
Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental
Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including interest
and
-46-
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Each payment required to be
made by the Borrower in respect of this indemnification shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party claiming such indemnification
within 30 days from the date the Borrower receives written demand detailing the
calculation of such amounts therefor from the Administrative Agent on behalf of
itself as Administrative Agent, or any such Bank. If any Bank or the
Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes
paid by the Borrower under this paragraph (c), such Bank or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the Borrower's
share of such refund.
(d) Evidence of Tax Payments. The Borrower will pay prior to delinquency
------------------------
all Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment. Within 30 days
after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.02, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Taxes or Other
Taxes.
(e) Foreign Bank Withholding Exemption. Each Bank that is not
----------------------------------
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the
date of this Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and
Acceptance (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under
this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of
any United States federal income taxes, (ii) if applicable, an Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to
establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, and (iii) any
other governmental forms which are necessary or required under an applicable tax
treaty or otherwise by law to reduce or eliminate any withholding tax, which
have been reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each Bank which delivers to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9
pursuant to the next preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of Form 1001 or 4224
and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of
certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may
reasonably be requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying
in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such Bank is entitled to
-47-
receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes. If an event (including without limitation
any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which
any delivery required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required
which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Bank from
duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and
such Bank advises the Borrower 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-8 or W-9, establishing an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax, such Bank shall not be
required to deliver such forms. The Borrower shall withhold tax at the rate and
in the manner required by the laws of the United States with respect to payments
made to a Bank failing to timely provide the requisite Internal Revenue Service
forms.
Section 2.12 Illegality. If any Bank shall notify the Administrative
----------
Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central
bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for such Bank
or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to
maintain any LIBOR Rate Advances of such Bank then outstanding hereunder, then,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall, if demanded
by such Bank by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later
than 11:00 a.m. (Dallas, Texas time), (a) if not prohibited by Legal Requirement
to maintain such LIBOR Rate Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on
the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Rate Advance of
such Bank or (b) if prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such LIBOR Rate
Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the second Business Day
following its receipt of such notice from such Bank, Convert all LIBOR Rate
Advances of such Bank then outstanding to Prime Rate Advances, and pay accrued
interest on the principal amount Converted to the date of such Conversion and
amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of
such Conversion being made on such date. Each Bank agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous
to such Bank.
Section 2.13 [Intentionally Left Blank]
--------------------------
Section 2.14 Determination of Total Availability. The Total Availability
-----------------------------------
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, as follows:
-48-
(a) Quarterly. On the 50th day following each calendar quarter the
---------
Administrative Agent shall determine the Total Availability upon receipt of a
Compliance Certificate setting forth the Parent's and the Parent's Subsidiaries'
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the Rolling Period just ended.
(b) Property Adjustments. Following each acquisition of a Hotel Property
--------------------
or Asset Disposition (an "Adjustment Event"), and the Administrative Agent's
----------------
receipt of a Property Adjustment Report with respect thereto, the Administrative
Agent shall adjust the Total Availability accordingly.
(c) Reduction of Commitments. Following each reduction of the Commitments
------------------------
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04.
(d) Notice of Total Availability Change. Promptly following any date the
-----------------------------------
Total Availability is redetermined in accordance with the preceding paragraphs,
the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Banks and the Borrower of the
new Total Availability.
Section 2.15 Bank Replacement.
----------------
(a) Right to Replace. The Borrower shall have the right to replace each
----------------
Bank affected by a condition under Section 2.02(c)(v), 2.09, 2.11, or 2.12 for

Commitments of all such Banks making such an election is in excess of the
Commitments of the Affected Banks, (A) the Commitments of the Affected
Banks shall be allocated pro rata among such Banks based on the respective
amounts of the proposed increases to Commitments elected by each of such
Banks, and (B) the respective Commitments of such Banks shall be increased
by the respective amounts as so allocated so that after giving effect to
such termination and increases the aggregate amount of the Commitments of
the Banks will be the same as prior to such termination.
(iii) If the aggregate amount of the proposed increases to
Commitments of all Banks making such an election equals the Commitments of
the Affected Banks, the respective Commitments of such Banks shall be
increased by the respective amounts of their proposed increases, so that

Bank with an increased Commitment shall purchase from the Affected Banks at par
such Bank's ratable share of the outstanding Advances of the Affected Banks.

------------------------
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
set-off or otherwise) on account of its Advances in excess of its Pro Rata Share
of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Banks, such Bank
shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase from the other
Banks such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to
cause such
-50-
purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement with each of them; provided, however, that if all
--------
or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank
shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such
Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of the
participation sold by such Bank to the purchasing Bank as a result of such
excess payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery,
together with an amount equal to such Bank's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (a) the amount of such Bank's required repayment to the purchasing
Bank to (b) the total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing
Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in
respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so
purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16 may,
to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirement, unless and until rescinded

Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but
shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected
in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority

the Agents are administerial in nature and in no event shall the Agents have a
fiduciary or trustee relation in respect of any Bank by reason of this Agreement

parties.
Section 9.03 Each Agent and Its Affiliates. With respect to its
-----------------------------
Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, each Agent shall
have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may

decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it

under this Agreement.

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including such Agent's own
negligence), provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
-93-
foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its
Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred
by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the
Borrower.
Section 9.06 Successor Agent. Either Agent may resign at any time by
---------------
giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be removed
at any time with cause by the Super Majority Banks upon receipt of written
notice from the Super Majority Banks to such effect. Upon receipt of notice of
any such resignation or removal, the Super Majority Banks shall have the right
to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Super Majority Banks'
removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Banks and the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial
bank meeting the financial requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Documentation Agent or Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was such Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Banks and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the

the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest

Advances assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and if the
assigning Bank has retained any Commitment hereunder, a new Note payable to the
order of such Bank in an amount equal to, respectively, the Commitment and the
outstanding Advances retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of the attached Exhibit A.

their respective participations.
(f) Confidentiality. Each Bank may furnish any information concerning the

Such Bank shall promptly deliver a signed copy of any such confidentiality
agreement to the Borrower.
Section 11.07 Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent,
---------------
the Banks (including any lender which was a Bank hereunder prior to any full
assignment of its Commitment), and each affiliate thereof and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from, and discharge, release, and hold
each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or
damages to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses,
liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from (i) any actual or
proposed use by the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower of the proceeds of
any Advance, (ii) any breach by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) any investigation,

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Borrower shall reimburse each Agent
and each Bank, and each affiliate thereof and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents, upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding; and expressly including any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expense incurred by reason of the
Person being indemnified's own negligence, but excluding any such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified.
-105-
THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CERTAIN OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND
INDEMNITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDE ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE BANKS, OR ANY OTHER PERSON BEING INDEMNIFIED.
Section 11.08 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
-------------------------
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 11.09 Survival of Representations, Indemnifications, etc. All
--------------------------------------------------
representations, warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or
on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Credit Documents, the making of the Advances
and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Banks, none of which
investigations shall diminish any Bank's right to rely on such representations
and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.08,
2.09, 2.11(c), 9.05 and 11.07 shall survive any termination of this Agreement
and repayment in full of the Obligations.
Section 11.10 Severability. In case one or more provisions of this
------------
Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall
not be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.11 Business Loans. The Borrower warrants and represents that
--------------
the Advances evidenced by the Notes are and shall be for business, commercial,
investment or other similar purposes and not primarily for personal, family,
household or agricultural use, as such terms are used in Chapter One of the
Texas Credit Code. For purposes of determining the Maximum Rate under the
applicable laws of the State of Texas, the applicable rate ceiling shall be the
indicated rate ceiling computed in accordance with Article 5069-1H of the Texas
Revised Civil Statutes, if applicable, and, if Article 5069-1H is not
applicable, then Article 5069-1D of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes; provided
that, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and subject to any notice or
other requirements under applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may from time
to time change the rate ceiling; and provided, further, that the "Maximum Rate"
for purposes of this Agreement shall not be limited to the applicable rate
ceiling under Article 5069-1D or Article 5069-1H if the United
-106-
States federal law or Texas law now or hereafter in effect and applicable to
this Agreement (and the interest contracted for, charged and collected
hereunder) shall permit a higher rate of interest.
Section 11.12 Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower and
------------------
each Bank in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws,
including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Bank
including such applicable laws of the State of Texas and the United States of
America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Banks and the
Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a
contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of
money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes
hereof "interest" shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute
interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this
Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any
circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid
on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest
which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a
mistake and each Bank receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of
its Notes (or if such Notes shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to
the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by
reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default
under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include
more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such
acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the
applicable Notes (or, if the applicable Notes shall have been paid in full,
refunded to the Borrower). The provisions of this Section shall control over all
other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in
apparent conflict herewith.
Section 11.13 Certain Office and Retail Space. The Banks acknowledge and
-------------------------------
agree that the office portion of the Houston, Texas Marriott and the retail
portion of the St. Tropez hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada (a) will or may not be
subject to a Participating Lease, Franchise Agreement or Management Agreement,
(b) will be included in the calculation of the Total Availability, and (c) may
be sold or transferred separately from the hotel portion of such Hotel Property
in accordance with the requirements of a Permitted Hotel Sale. If in connection
with any such sale or transfer, the office or retail, as applicable, portions
and hotel portions of such Hotel Property need to enter into
-107-
any agreements pertaining to the joint use of facilities, such agreements will
be subject to the reasonable approval of the Documentation Agent.
Section 11.14 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other
-------------
Credit Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Texas.
Section 11.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
-----------------------
submits to the jurisdiction of any Texas state or federal court sitting in
Dallas, Texas in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents, and the Borrower hereby
irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such court. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any right it may have to the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding. The Borrower hereby agrees that service of copies of the summons
and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or
proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the
Borrower at its address specified in Section 11.02. The Borrower agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Section shall affect the rights of any Bank,
the Documentation Agent, or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in
any other manner permitted by the law or affect the right of any Bank, the
Documentation Agent or the Administrative Agent to bring any action or
proceeding against the Borrower or its Property in the courts of any other
jurisdiction.
Section 11.16 Knowledge of Borrower. For purposes of this Agreement,
---------------------
"knowledge of the Borrower" means the actual knowledge of any of the executive
officers and all other Responsible Officers of the Parent or the general manager
of each Hotel Property except the general manager for those Hotel Properties for
which Prime Hospitality is the Participating Lessee.
Section 11.17 Banks Not in Control. None of the covenants or other
--------------------
provisions contained in the Credit Documents shall or shall be deemed to, give
the Banks the rights or power to exercise control over the affairs and/or
management of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Guarantor, the power
of the Banks being limited to the right to exercise the remedies provided in the
Credit Documents; provided, however, that if any Bank becomes the owner of any
stock, or other equity interest in, any Person whether through foreclosure or
otherwise, such Bank shall be entitled
-108-
(subject to requirements of law) to exercise such legal rights as it may have by
being owner of such stock, or other equity interest in, such Person.
Section 11.18 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections
--------------------
and paragraphs of the Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not
in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement.
Section 11.19 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence under the
----------------------
Credit Documents.
SECTION 11.20 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE
---------------------
BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT
OR TO ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
SECTION 11.21 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO SECTION 26.02 OF THE TEXAS
----------------
BUSINESS AND COMMERCE CODE, A LOAN AGREEMENT IN WHICH THE AMOUNT INVOLVED IN THE
LOAN AGREEMENT EXCEEDS $50,000 IN VALUE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNLESS THE LOAN
AGREEMENT IS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PARTY TO BE BOUND OR THAT PARTY'S
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.
THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO AN AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO THE
PRECEDING PARAGRAPH SHALL BE DETERMINED SOLELY FROM THE WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT,
AND ANY PRIOR ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SUPERSEDED BY AND MERGED
INTO THE LOAN AGREEMENT. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS
DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND
MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CERTAIN OF ITS OBLIGATIONS AND
INDEMNITIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDE ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF

presence, use, generation, release, discharge, storage, disposal or
transportation of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in, about, to or from any
of the Properties except for Permitted Hazardous Substances.
5. Indemnification. Indemnitor shall exonerate, indemnify, pay and
---------------
protect, defend (with counsel approved pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and
save the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents, the
Banks, and their respective directors, trustees, beneficiaries, officers,
shareholders, employees and agents of the Banks (collectively, the "Indemnified
Parties"), harmless from and against any claims (including, without limitation,
third party claims for personal injury or real or personal Properties damage),
actions, administrative proceedings (including informal proceedings), judgments,
damages, punitive damages, penalties, fines, costs, taxes, assessments,
liabilities (including, without limitation, sums paid in settlements of claims),
interest or losses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, any such reasonable fees and expenses incurred
in enforcing this Agreement or collecting any sums due hereunder), consultant
fees, and expert fees, together with all other reasonable costs and expenses of
any kind or nature (collectively, the "Costs") that arise directly or indirectly
in connection with the presence, suspected presence, release or suspected
release of any Hazardous Materials in or into the air, soil, ground water,
surface water or improvements at, on, about, under or within any of the
Properties, or any portion thereof, or elsewhere in connection with the
transportation of Hazardous Materials to or from any of the Properties (any such
release being referred to herein as a "Release"; provided however that
Indemnitor shall not be so liable for any Costs arising because of the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or Costs arising because
of a Release for a Property after the Administrative Agent or the Administrative
Agent's nominee acquires title to such Property. INDEMNITOR'S OBLIGATION TO SO
INDEMNIFY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES SHALL INCLUDE INDEMNIFICATION FOR ANY OF SUCH
MATTERS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES. The indemnification provided in this Section shall specifically apply
to and include claims or actions brought by or on behalf of tenants or employees
of Indemnitor; Indemnitor hereby expressly waives (with respect to any claims of
the Indemnified Parties arising under this Agreement) any immunity to which
Indemnitor may otherwise be entitled under any industrial or worker's
compensation laws. In the event any of the Indemnified Parties shall suffer or
incur any such Costs, Indemnitor shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Indemnified Party the total of all such Costs suffered or
incurred by such Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
such payment to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
indemnification provided by this Section 5 shall specifically cover Costs,
including, without limitation, capital, operating and maintenance costs,
incurred in connection with any
-3-
investigation or monitoring of site conditions, any clean-up, containment,
remedial, removal or restoration work required or performed by any federal,
state or local governmental agency or political subdivision ("Governmental
Agency") or performed by any non-governmental entity or person as required or
requested, by any Governmental Agency because of the presence, suspected
presence, release or suspected release of any Hazardous Materials in or into the
air, soil, groundwater, surface water or improvements at, on, under or within
any of the Properties (or any portion thereof), or elsewhere in connection with
the transportation of Hazardous Materials to or from any of the Properties, and
any claims of third parties for loss or damage due to such Hazardous Materials.
6. Remedial Work. In the event any investigation or monitoring of site
-------------
conditions or any clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or other remedial
work ("Remedial Work") is required (a) under any Environmental Law, (b) by any
judicial, arbitral or administrative order, (c) in order to comply with any
agreements affecting any of the Properties, or (d) to maintain any of the
Properties in a standard of environmental condition which prevents the release
or generation of any Hazardous Materials except for Permitted Hazardous
Substances, Indemnitor shall perform or cause to be performed such Remedial
Work; provided, that Indemnitor may withhold commencement of such Remedial Work
pending resolution of any good faith contest regarding the application,
interpretation or validity of any law, regulation, order or agreement, subject
to the requirements of Section 7 below. All Remedial Work shall be conducted
(i) in a diligent and timely fashion by a licensed environmental engineer, (ii)
pursuant to a detailed written plan for the Remedial Work approved by any
Governmental Agency with a legal or contractual right to such approval, (iii)
with such insurance coverage pertaining to liabilities arising out of the
Remedial Work as is then customarily maintained with respect to such activities
and (iv) only following receipt of all required permits, licenses or approvals.
In addition, Indemnitor shall submit to the Banks promptly upon receipt or
preparation, copies of any and all reports, studies, analyses, correspondence,
governmental comments or approvals, proposed removal or other Remedial Work
contracts and similar information prepared or received by Indemnitor in
connection with any Remedial Work or Hazardous Materials relating to any of the
Properties. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by
Indemnitor, including, without limitation, the charges of the Remedial Work
contractors and the consulting environmental engineer, any taxes or penalties
assessed in connection with the Remedial Work and the Banks' reasonable fees and
costs incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.
In the event Indemnitor should fail to commence or cause to be commenced such
Remedial Work, in a timely fashion, or fail diligently to prosecute to
completion, such Remedial Work, the Administrative Agent following consent of
the Majority Banks (following thirty (30) days written notice to Indemnitor)
may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and
all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith shall be
-4-
Costs within the meaning of Section 5 above. All such Costs shall be due and
payable to the Administrative Agent by Indemnitor upon thirty (30) days after
demand therefor, such payments to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.
7. Permitted Contests. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
------------------
to the contrary, Indemnitor may contest by appropriate action any Remedial Work
requirement imposed by any Governmental Agency provided that (a) if the Loan
then remains outstanding, no "Event of Default" has occurred and is continuing
under the Credit Agreement or any Credit Documents, (b) Indemnitor has given the
Banks written notice that Indemnitor is contesting or shall contest and
Indemnitor does in fact contest the application, interpretation or validity of
the law, regulation, order or agreement pertaining to the Remedial Work by
appropriate legal or administrative proceedings conducted in good faith and with
due diligence and dispatch, (c) such contest shall not subject any of the
Indemnified Parties nor any assignee of all or any portion of the Banks'
interest in the Loan nor any of the Properties to civil or criminal liability
and does not jeopardize any such party's lien upon or interest in any of the
Properties and (d) if the estimated cost of the Remedial Work is greater than
$2,500,000, Indemnitor shall give such security or assurances as may be
reasonably required by the Banks as determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement
to ensure ultimate compliance with all legal or contractual requirements
pertaining to the Remedial Work (and payment of all costs, expenses, interest
and penalties in connection therewith) and to prevent any sale, forfeiture or
loss by reason of nonpayment or noncompliance.
8. Reports and Claims. Indemnitor shall deliver to the Banks copies of
------------------
any reports, analyses, correspondence, notices, licenses, approvals, orders or
other written materials relating to the environmental condition of any of the
Properties promptly upon receipt, completion or delivery thereof. Indemnitor
shall give notice to the Banks of any claim, action, administrative proceeding
(including, without limitation, informal proceedings) or other demand by any
governmental agency or other third party involving Costs or Remedial Action at
the time such claim or other demand first becomes known to Indemnitor. Receipt
of any such notice shall not be deemed to create any obligation on the Banks to
defend or otherwise respond to any claim or demand. All notices, approvals,
consents, requests and demands upon the respective parties hereto shall be in
writing, including telegraphic communication and delivered or teletransmitted to
the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to each
Indemnitor, at the address set forth beneath such Indemnitor's signature or in
the Accession Agreement executed by such Indemnitor, or to such other address as
shall be designated by any Indemnitor or the Administrative Agent in written
notice to the other parties. All such notices and other communications shall be
effective when delivered or teletransmitted to the above addresses.
-5-
9. Banks as Owner. If for any reason, the Administrative Agent or any
--------------
of the Banks (or any successor or assign of such parties) becomes the fee owner
of any of the Properties and any claim, action, notice, administrative
proceeding (including, without limitation, informal proceedings) or other demand
is made by any governmental agency or other third party which implicate Costs or
Remedial Work, Indemnitor shall cooperate with such party in any defense or
other appropriate response to any such claim or other demand; provided however
that Indemnitor shall not be so liable for any Costs arising because of the
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. Indemnitor's
duty to cooperate and right to participate in the defense or response to any
such claim or demand shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify
Indemnitor's obligations under this Agreement. Any party subject to a claim or
other proceeding referenced in the first sentence of this Section 9 shall give
notice to Indemnitor of any claim or demand governed by this Section 9 at the
time such claim or other demand first becomes known to such party.
10. Subrogation of Indemnity Rights. If Indemnitor fails to fully perform
-------------------------------
its obligations under Sections 5 and 6 above, the Indemnified Parties shall be
subrogated to any rights or claims Indemnitor may have against any present,
future or former owners, tenants or other occupants or users of any of the
Properties, any portion thereof or any adjacent or proximate properties,
relating to the recovery of Costs or the performance of Remedial Work.
11. Assignment by Agents and Banks. No consent by Indemnitor shall be
------------------------------
required for any assignment or reassignment of the rights of the Administrative
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or the Banks under this
Agreement to any successor of such party or a purchaser of the Loan or any
interest in or portion of the Loan including participation interests.
12. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. In the event Indemnitor is
---------------------------------------
dissolved, liquidated or terminated or all or substantially all the assets of
Indemnitor are sold or otherwise transferred to one or more persons or other
entities, the surviving entity or transferee or assets, as the case may be, (i)
shall be formed and existing under the laws of a state, (ii) shall deliver to
the Banks an acknowledged instrument in recordable form assuming all
obligations, covenants and responsibilities of Indemnitor under this Agreement.
13. Independent Obligations; Survival. The obligations of Indemnitor
---------------------------------
under this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Loan transaction
described above and the repayment of the Loan. The obligations of Indemnitor
under this Agreement are separate and distinct from the obligations of
Indemnitor under the Credit Documents. This Agreement may be enforced by the
Banks without regard to or affecting any rights and remedies the Administrative
-6-
Agent and/or the Banks may have against Indemnitor under the Credit Documents
and without regard to any limitations on the Administrative Agent's or Banks'
recourse for recovery of the Loan as may be provided in the Credit Documents.
Enforcement of this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to constitute an
action for recovery of the indebtedness of the Loan.
14. Default Interest. In addition to all other rights and remedies of the
----------------
Banks against Indemnitor as provided herein, or under applicable law, Indemnitor
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, immediately upon demand therefor,
Default Interest (as defined below) on any Costs and other payments required to
be paid by Indemnitor to the Banks under this Agreement which are not paid
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, such payments to be disbursed by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Default Interest
shall be paid by Indemnitor from the date such payment becomes delinquent
through and including the date of payment of such delinquent sums. "Default
Interest" shall mean a per annum interest rate equal to three points above the
Adjusted Prime Rate or reference rate for the then current calendar month, as of
the first day of such calendar month, which is publicly announced from time to
time by the Administrative Agent.
15. Contribution. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the
------------
Credit Agreement, each of the Indemnitors will benefit, directly and indirectly,
from the Obligations and in consideration thereof desire to enter into a
contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 15 to
allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable
arrangement to make contributions in the event any payment is made by any
Indemnitor hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Managing Agents or the Banks (such payment being referred to herein as a
"Contribution," and for purposes of this Agreement, includes any exercise of
recourse by the Administrative Agent against any Property of a Contributor
designated as collateral under any Credit Document and application of proceeds
of such collateral in satisfaction of such Indemnitor's obligations under this
Agreement). The Indemnitors hereby agree as follows:
15.01 Calculation of Contribution. In order to provide for just and
---------------------------
equitable contribution among the Indemnitors in the event any Contribution
is made by a Indemnitor (a "Funding Indemnitor"), such Funding Indemnitor
shall be entitled to a contribution from certain other Indemnitors for all
payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Indemnitor in
discharging any of the obligations under this Agreement (the
"Obligations"), in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
The amount of any Contribution under this Agreement shall be equal to the
payment made by the Funding Indemnitor to the Administrative Agent or any
other beneficiary
-7-
pursuant to this Agreement and shall be determined as of the date on which
such payment is made.
15.02 Benefit Amount Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, the
----------------------
"Benefit Amount" of any Indemnitor as of any date of determination shall be
the net value of the benefits to such Indemnitor and all of its
Subsidiaries (including any Subsidiaries which may be Indemnitors) from
extensions of credit made by the Banks to the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement; provided, that in determining the contribution liability of any
Indemnitor which is a Subsidiary to its direct or indirect parent
corporation or of any Indemnitor to its direct or indirect Subsidiary, the
Benefit Amount of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, if any, shall be
subtracted in determining the Benefit Amount of the parent corporation.
Such benefits shall include benefits of funds constituting proceeds of
Advances made to the Borrower by the Banks which are in turn advanced or
contributed by the Borrower to such Indemnitor or its Subsidiaries and
benefits of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement on
behalf of, or the proceeds of which are advanced or contributed or
otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, such Indemnitor and its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Benefits"). In the case of any proceeds of
Advances or Benefits advanced or contributed to a Person (an "Owned
Entity") any of the equity interests of which are owned directly or
indirectly by a Indemnitor, the Benefit Amount of a Indemnitor with respect
thereto shall be that portion of the net value of the benefits attributable
to Advances or Benefits equal to the direct or indirect percentage
ownership of such Indemnitor in its Owned Entity.
15.03 Contribution Obligation. Each Indemnitor shall be liable to a
-----------------------
Funding Indemnitor in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio
of the Benefit Amount of such Indemnitor to the total amount of
Obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Obligations paid by such
Funding Indemnitor and (B) 95% of the excess of the fair saleable value of
the property of such Indemnitor over the total liabilities of such
Indemnitor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due
in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which
the payment made by a Funding Indemnitor is deemed made for purposes of
this Agreement (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding
Indemnitors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such
contributions).
15.04 Allocation. In the event that at any time there exists more
than one Funding Indemnitor with respect to any Contribution (in any such
case, the "Applicable Contribution"), then payment from other Indemnitors
pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among such Funding
Indemnitors in proportion to the total amount of the
-8-
Contribution made for or on account of the Borrower by each such Funding
Indemnitor pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at
any time any Indemnitor pays an amount under this Agreement in excess of
the amount calculated pursuant to clause (A) of Subsection 15.03 above,
that Indemnitor shall be deemed to be a Funding Indemnitor to the extent of
such excess and shall be entitled to contribution from the other
Indemnitors in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
15.05 Subsidiary Payment. The amount of contribution payable under
------------------
this Section by any Indemnitor shall be reduced by the amount of any
contribution paid hereunder by a Subsidiary of such Indemnitor.
15.06 Equitable Allocation. If as a result of any reorganization,
--------------------
recapitalization, or other corporate change in the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or as a result of any amendment, waiver or modification of
the terms and conditions of other Sections of this Agreement or the
Obligations, or for any other reason, the contributions under this Section
become inequitable as among the Indemnitors, the Indemnitors shall promptly
modify and amend this Section to provide for an equitable allocation of
contributions. Any of the foregoing modifications and amendments shall be
in writing and signed by all Indemnitors.
15.07 Asset of Party to Which Contribution is Owing. The Indemnitors
---------------------------------------------
acknowledge that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an
asset in favor of the Indemnitor to which such contribution is owing.
15.08 Subordination. No payments payable by a Indemnitor pursuant to
-------------
the terms of this Section 15 shall be paid until all amounts then due and
payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Documentation
Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank, pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section 15
shall affect the obligations of any Indemnitor to the Administrative Agent,
the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank under the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Documents.
16. Miscellaneous. If there shall be more than one Indemnitor hereunder,
-------------
or pursuant to any other indemnification of Banks relating to Hazardous
Materials arising out of or in connection with the Loan ("Other Indemnitor"),
each Indemnitor and Other Indemnitor agrees that (a) the obligations of the
Indemnitor hereunder, and each Other Indemnitor, are joint and several, (b) a
release of any one or more Indemnitors or Other Indemnitors or any limitation of
this Agreement in favor of or for the benefit of one or more Indemnitors or
Other Indemnitors
-9-
shall not in any way be deemed a release of or limitation in favor of or for the
benefit of any other Indemnitor or Other Indemnitor and (c) a separate action
hereunder may be brought and prosecuted against any or all Indemnitors or Other
Indemnitors. If any term of this Agreement or any application thereof shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and any other
application of such term shall not be affected thereby. No delay or omission in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any
other right. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Indemnitor and the Banks, and their respective successors and
assigns, including (without limitation) any assignee or purchaser of all or any
portion of the Banks' interest in (i) the Loan, (ii) the Credit Documents, or
(iii) any of the Properties.
17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
-------------
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas. Each Indemnitor
hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any Texas state or federal
court sitting in Dallas, Texas in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and such Indemnitor
hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each Indemnitor hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any right it
may have to the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding. Each Indemnitor hereby agrees that service of copies of
the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such
action or proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process
to such Indemnitor at its address specified below. Each Indemnitor agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Section shall affect the rights of any of the
Banks to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by the law or affect
the right of any of the Banks to bring any action or proceeding against any
Indemnitor or its Property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
18. Waivers of Jury Trials. EACH INDEMNITOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
----------------------
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR TO ANY COUNTERCLAIM
THEREIN.
19. Amendments/Accession Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this
-------------------------------
Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Indemnitor therefrom shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent and the Majority Banks, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks; provided that any
--------
-10-
amendment or waiver releasing any Indemnitor from any liability hereunder shall
be signed by all the Banks; and provided further that any waiver or consent
----------------
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Subsidiary
or Affiliate of the Borrower hereafter is required in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement or otherwise agrees to become a Indemnitor under this
Agreement, then such Subsidiary or Affiliate may become a party to this
Agreement by executing an Accession Agreement ("Accession Agreement") in the
form attached hereto as Annex 1, and each Indemnitor and the Administrative
-------
Agent hereby agrees that upon such Subsidiary's or Affiliate's execution of such
Accession Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to make
such Person an Indemnitor hereunder for all purposes and a party hereto and no
signature is required on behalf of the other Indemnitors or the Administrative
Agent to make such an amendment to this Agreement effective.
[INTENTIONALLY BLANK]

Syndication Agent, and Documentation Agent (the "Documentation Agent"), THE BANK
OF NOVA SCOTIA and XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Managing Agents

Agreement herein described.
INTRODUCTION
WHEREAS, this Agreement is given in connection with that certain
Subordinate Unsecured Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 1998 ("Credit
Agreement"), among AMERICAN GENERAL HOSPITALITY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Borrower"), Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents and the banks and other lenders party
thereto (collectively the "Banks");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement the Banks are considering making
a loan (the "Loan") to Borrower as more specifically described therein;
WHEREAS, the Borrower is the principal financing entity for capital
requirements of its Subsidiaries, and from time to time the Borrower has made
and will continue to make capital contributions and advances to its
Subsidiaries, including the Subsidiaries which are parties hereto. Other than
the Parent, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower.
Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Banks have required the execution and delivery of this
Agreement as a condition precedent to the execution of the Credit Agreement.
The Banks would not be willing to execute the Credit Agreement in the absence of
the execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
---------
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Banks to make the Advances and the
Issuing Bank to issue its Letters of Credit, each Guarantor hereby agrees as
follows:
Section 1. Defined Terms. All terms used in this Agreement, but not
-------------
defined herein, shall have the meaning given such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Section 2. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
--------
irrevocably guarantees (a) the punctual payment when due, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Borrower now
or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and any other Credit
Document, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, or otherwise and (b)
the payment and performance of the lessor's obligations under the Participating
Leases (such obligations being the "Guaranteed Obligations") and any and all
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank
in enforcing any rights under this Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees that its
guaranty obligation under this Agreement is a guarantee of payment, not of
collection and that such Guarantor is primarily liable for the payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 3. Limit of Liability. Each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of
------------------
the Borrower shall be liable under this Agreement with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations only for amounts aggregating up to the largest amount that would not
render its guaranty obligation hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548
of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state
law.
Section 4. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the
-----------------
Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the
Participating Leases, as applicable, regardless of any law, regulation, or order
now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing
Agents, the Banks or the Participating Lessees with respect thereto. The
liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any
other Credit Document, any Participating Lease or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto;
-2-
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to departure from the Credit Agreement, any Credit
Document or any Participating Lease;
(c) any exchange, release, or nonperfection of any collateral, if
applicable, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any other agreement or guaranty, for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of the Borrower or a Guarantor.
Section 5. Continuation and Reinstatement, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees
------------------------------------
that, to the extent that the Borrower makes payments to the Administrative
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank or the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank
receives any proceeds of any property of Borrower or any Guarantor and such
payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or otherwise required to be repaid,
then to the extent of such repayment the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial
payment or collection of proceeds occurred. The Guarantor shall defend and
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents
and each Bank from and against any claim or loss under this Section 5 (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in the defense of any such action or
suit.
Section 6. Certain Waivers.
---------------
6.01. Notice. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of
------
acceptance, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement.
6.02. Other Remedies. Each Guarantor hereby waives any requirement that the
--------------
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank
protect, secure, perfect, or insure any Lien or any Property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or
any collateral, if any, including any action required by Chapter 34 of the Texas
Business and Commerce Code.
-3-
6.03. Waiver of Subrogation.
---------------------
(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, until payment in full of
all Guaranteed Obligations and termination of all Commitments, any claim or
other rights which it may acquire against the Borrower that arise from such
Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
including, without limitation, any right of subrogation (including, without
limitation, any statutory rights of subrogation under Section 509 of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. (S) 509, or otherwise), reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification, or any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents
or any Bank against the Borrower or any collateral which the Administrative
Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or any Bank now has or
acquires. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the
preceding sentence and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in
full and all of the Commitments terminated, such amount shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Managing Agents or any Bank and shall promptly be paid to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the
Managing Agents and the Banks to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, as the Administrative Agent may elect. Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the
waiver set forth in this Section 6.03(a) is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits.
(b) Each Guarantor further agrees that it will not enter into any
agreement providing, directly or indirectly, for any contribution,
reimbursement, repayment, or indemnity by the Borrower or any other Person on
account of any payment by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or the Banks under this Agreement.
6.04. California Waivers.
------------------
(a) Guarantor understands and agrees that the waivers contained in this
Section 6.04 are waivers of substantive rights and defenses to which Guarantor
might otherwise be entitled under state and federal law. The rights and
defenses waived include, without limitation, those provided by California laws
of suretyship and guaranty, antideficiency laws, and the Uniform Commercial
Code. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has provided these waivers of
rights and defenses with the intention that they be fully relied upon by the
Banks and/or Agents.
(b) Guarantor waives Guarantor's rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnity and contribution, and any other rights and defenses available to
Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil
Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, including without limitation
(i) any defenses Guarantor may have to the Guaranteed Obligations by
-4-
reason of an election of remedies by the Banks and/or Agents, and (ii) any
rights or defenses Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to
Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the
antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging
Borrower's indebtedness, including, without limitation, Sections 580a, 580b,
580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as amended or recodified
from time to time.
(c) If and to the extent such waivers of Guarantor's rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity and contribution, and any other rights and
defenses waived by Guarantor hereunder are unenforceable, Guarantor hereby
agrees that all such rights shall be junior and subordinate to the rights of the
Banks and/or Agents to obtain payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations and to all rights of the Banks and/or Agents in and to any property,
including the Property, which now or hereafter serves or could serve as
collateral security for the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d) The above waivers include, but are not limited to, the waiver by
Guarantor of:
(i) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies
by the Banks and/or Agents, even though that election of remedies has
destroyed Guarantor's rights or subrogation and/or reimbursement against
Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or otherwise;
(ii) all rights and protections of any kind which Guarantor may have
for any reason which would affect or limit the amount of any recovery by
the Banks and/or Agents from Guarantor including, without limitation, the
right to any fair market value hearing pursuant to Section 580a of the
California Code of Civil Procedure.
(iii) any and all benefits available to sureties and creditors which
might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California Civil Code
Sections 2809 (reduction of surety's obligation where larger than
principal's), 2810 (liability of surety when principal is not liable), 2815
(revocation of continuing guaranty), 2819 (exoneration of surety), 2839
(performance of principal obligation or offer of performance), 2845
(requiring creditor to proceed against principal), 2849 (security for
performance of principal obligation), 2850 (hypothecation of surety's
property), 2899 (order of resort to property), and 3433 (creditor's
entitlement to satisfy claim from several funds), as amended or recodified
from time to time; and
(e) Guarantor shall not be discharged, released or exonerated, in any way,
from its absolute, unconditional and independent liabilities hereunder, even
though any rights or defenses which Guarantor may have against Borrower, the
Banks, the Agents or others may be destroyed, diminished or otherwise affected,
by:
-5-
(i) Any declaration by the Banks and/or Agents of a default in
respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii) The exercise by the Banks and/or Agents of any rights or
remedies against Borrower or any other person;
(iii) The failure of the Banks and/or Agents to exercise any rights
or remedies against Borrower or any other person; or
Section 7. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby
------------------------------
represents and warrants as follows:
7.01. Corporate Authority. Such Guarantor is either a corporation, limited
-------------------
liability company or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. The
execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement are
within such Guarantor's organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary organizational action and do not contravene (a) such Guarantor's
organizational authority or (b) any law or material contractual restriction
affecting such Guarantor or its Property.
7.02. Government Approval. No authorization or approval or other action by
-------------------
and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the
due execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement.
7.03. Binding Obligations. This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding
-------------------
obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance
with its terms subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar law affecting creditors' rights (whether
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
Section 8. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenant
---------
provisions of Article V and Article VI of the Credit Agreement to the extent
such provisions are applicable.
8.01. Additional Covenant. As soon as possible and in any event within
-------------------
five days after the incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Parent or any
Subsidiary of the Parent other than the Obligations or any other Indebtedness
permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Parent shall notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of such incurrence.
Section 9. Contribution. As a result of the transactions contemplated
------------
by the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors will benefit, directly and
indirectly, from the Guaranteed Obligations and in consideration thereof desire
to enter into a contribution agreement among
-6-
themselves as set forth in this Section 9 to allocate such benefits among
themselves and to provide a fair and equitable arrangement to make contributions
in the event any payment is made by any Guarantor hereunder to the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or the Banks
(such payment being referred to herein as a "Contribution," and for purposes of
this Agreement, includes any exercise of recourse by the Administrative Agent
against any Property of a Contributor and application of proceeds of such
Property in satisfaction of such Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement).
The Guarantors hereby agree as follows:
9.01. Calculation of Contribution. In order to provide for just and
---------------------------
equitable contribution among the Guarantors in the event any Contribution is
made by a Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor"), such Funding Guarantor shall be
entitled to a contribution from certain other Guarantors for all payments,
damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this
Section. The amount of any Contribution under this Agreement shall be equal to
the payment made by the Funding Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or any
other beneficiary pursuant to this Agreement and shall be determined as of the
date on which such payment is made.
9.02. Benefit Amount Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Benefit
----------------------
Amount" of any Guarantor as of any date of determination shall be the net value
of the benefits to such Guarantor and all of its Subsidiaries (including any
Subsidiaries which may be Guarantors) from extensions of credit made by the
Banks to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the benefit of entering
into the Participating Leases; provided, that in determining the contribution
liability of any Guarantor which is a Subsidiary to its direct or indirect
parent corporation or of any Guarantor to its direct or indirect Subsidiary, the
Benefit Amount of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, if any, shall be
subtracted in determining the Benefit Amount of the parent corporation. Such
benefits shall include benefits of funds constituting proceeds of Advances made
to the Borrower by the Banks which are in turn advanced or contributed by the
Borrower to such Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and benefits of Letters of Credit
issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement on behalf of, or the proceeds of which
are advanced or contributed or otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, such
Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Benefits"). In the case of
any proceeds of Advances or Benefits advanced or contributed to a Person (an
"Owned Entity") any of the equity interests of which are owned directly or
indirectly by a Guarantor, the Benefit Amount of a Guarantor with respect
thereto shall be that portion of the net value of the benefits attributable to
Advances or Benefits equal to the direct or indirect percentage ownership of
such Guarantor in its Owned Entity.
9.03. Contribution Obligation. Each Guarantor shall be liable to a Funding
-----------------------
Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit
Amount of such Guarantor to the total amount of Guaranteed Obligations,
multiplied by (ii) the amount of Guaranteed Obligations paid by such Funding
Guarantor and (B) 95% of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property
-7-
of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the
maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent
liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding
Guarantor is deemed made for purposes of this Agreement (giving effect to all
payments made by other Funding Guarantors as of such date in a manner to
maximize the amount of such contributions).
9.04. Allocation. In the event that at any time there exists more than one
----------
Funding Guarantor with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the
"Applicable Contribution"), then payment from other Guarantors pursuant to this
Agreement shall be allocated among such Funding Guarantors in proportion to the
total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the Borrower by each
such Funding Guarantor pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event
that at any time any Guarantor pays an amount under this Agreement in excess of
the amount calculated pursuant to clause (A) of Subsection 9.03 above, that
Guarantor shall be deemed to be a Funding Guarantor to the extent of such excess
and shall be entitled to contribution from the other Guarantors in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.
9.05. Subsidiary Payment. The amount of contribution payable under this
------------------
Section by any Guarantor shall be reduced by the amount of any contribution paid
hereunder by a Subsidiary of such Guarantor.
9.06. Equitable Allocation. If as a result of any reorganization,
--------------------
recapitalization, or other corporate change in the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or as a result of any amendment, waiver or modification of the
terms and conditions of other Sections of this Agreement or the Guaranteed
Obligations, or for any other reason, the contributions under this Section
become inequitable as among the Guarantors, the Guarantors shall promptly modify
and amend this Section to provide for an equitable allocation of contributions.
Any of the foregoing modifications and amendments shall be in writing and signed
by all Guarantors.
9.07. Asset of Party to Which Contribution is Owing. The Guarantors
---------------------------------------------
acknowledge that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset
in favor of the Guarantor to which such contribution is owing.
9.08. Subordination. No payments payable by a Guarantor pursuant to the
-------------
terms of this Section 9 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by
the Borrower to any Bank, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents, are
paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall affect the
obligations of any Guarantor to any Bank under the Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Documents.
Section 10. Subordination.
-------------
-8-
10.01. Subordination. The payment of any Guaranteed Obligations (including
-------------
interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding
pursuant to any bankruptcy law with respect to the Guarantor as debtor) is
subordinated to the guaranteed obligations (the "Senior Guaranteed Obligations")
as defined in that certain Guaranty and Contribution Agreement (the "Senior
Guaranty") dated as of even date herewith given for the benefit of the Senior
Administrative Agent and the Senior Creditors in connection with the Senior
Credit Agreement, as the Senior Guaranty may be amended, renewed, extended,
increased, substituted, refinanced, restructured, replaced, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time; provided that the aggregate principal
--------
amount and face amount of outstanding letters of credit of the Senior Guaranteed
Obligations which shall be senior to the Guaranteed Obligations shall not exceed
$500,000,000.00 on the terms and conditions contained in this Section 10.
10.02. Payment Blockage. No payment by the Guarantor on the Guaranteed
----------------
Obligations (whether pursuant to the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or upon
acceleration or otherwise) shall be made if, at the time of any such payment,
there exists a default in the payment of any Senior Guaranteed Obligations (a
"Senior Payment Default"), and such Senior Payment Default shall not have been
cured or waived by or on behalf of the holders of such Senior Guaranteed
Obligations. In addition, during the continuance of the breach of any provision
in Article VII of the Senior Credit Agreement ("Financial Covenant Default"),
upon the giving by the Senior Administrative Agent of written notice to the
Administrative Agent of such breach, no such payment may be made by the
Guarantor upon the Guaranteed Obligations for a period (the "Blockage Period")
commencing on the date of the giving of such notice and ending 180 days after
the date of the giving of such notice. Not more than one Blockage Period may be
commenced with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations during any period of 360
consecutive days. No Financial Covenant Default which existed or was continuing
on the date of commencement of any Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the
basis for commencement of a second Blockage Period whether within or without a
period of 360 consecutive days unless such Financial Covenant Default shall have
been cured for a period of not less than 30 consecutive days or waived. During
any period in which payments on the Guaranteed Obligations are not restricted
pursuant to this Section 10.02, the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
be entitled to receive payments in accordance with the terms of the Guaranteed
Obligations, including any payments that were previously restricted in
accordance with this Section 10.02.
Section 10.03. Remedy Blockage.
---------------
(a) At any time when any Senior Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding,
the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations will not have any of the following
rights: (i) to demand, xxx for or take from the Guarantor, by set-off or in any
other manner, any moneys which may then or thereafter be owing by the Guarantor
on the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) to commence, or to join with any Person in
commencing, any suit, action or proceeding against the Guarantor (A) to enforce
payment
-9-
of or to collect all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or (B) to
commence judicial enforcement of any of the rights and remedies under the
documents or instruments governing the Guaranteed Obligations or applicable law,
(iii) to accelerate the principal of or interest on or any other amount under
the Guaranteed Obligations, or (iv) as a holder of the Guaranteed Obligations,
to commence, or to join with any Person in commencing, against Guarantor or any
of its property a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceeding (each of the foregoing a "Remedial Action") until the earlier
of:
(i) the commencement by the Senior Administrative Agent or any
holder of the Senior Guaranteed Obligations of any Remedial Action;
(ii) the commencement of a liquidation or dissolution proceeding
with respect to the Guarantor or a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership, or other similar proceeding with respect to the Guarantor or
any of its property; or
(iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default and the continuance
thereof unwaived for 360 days.

retain any and all payments (a) made in securities of the Guarantor provided the

extent as the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) made in accordance with any
relevant court order respecting the subordination provided for herein.

the Credit Agreement and to each Guarantor, at the address set forth under such
Guarantor's signature hereto or in the Accession Agreement executed by such

notices and other communications shall be effective when delivered or

----------------
consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless

the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks; provided that
--------
any amendment or waiver releasing any Guarantor from any liability hereunder
shall be signed by all the Banks; and provided further that any waiver or
----------------
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower hereafter is required in a accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise agrees to become a guarantor
of the Borrower's obligations under the Credit Documents, then such Subsidiary
or Affiliate may become a party to this Agreement by executing an Accession
Agreement ("Accession Agreement") in the form attached hereto as Annex 1 and

Subsidiary's or Affiliate's execution of such Accession Agreement, this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended to make such Person a Guarantor
hereunder for all purposes and a party hereto and no signature is required on
behalf of the other Guarantors or the Administrative Agent to make such an
amendment to this Agreement effective.
-12-

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.
11.04. Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
----------------

Managing Agents and the Banks are hereby authorized at any time, to the fullest

time or demand, provisional or final) and other indebtedness owing by the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or the Banks
to the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such
Guarantor under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or the Banks
shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations
may be contingent and unmatured. The Administrative Agent, the Documentation
Agent, the Managing Agents and the Banks agree promptly to notify each Guarantor
affected by any such set-off after any such set-off and application made by the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents or the Banks
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Managing Agents and the Banks under this Section 11.04

limiting the generality of the foregoing clause, when any Bank assigns or
otherwise transfers any interest held by it under the Credit Agreement or other
Credit Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement or other Credit Document, that other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits held by such Bank under this Agreement. Upon the
payment in full and termination of the Guaranteed Obligations, the guaranties
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights hereunder shall revert to each
Guarantor to the extent such rights have not been applied pursuant to the terms
hereof. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at each
Guarantor's expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as
such Guarantor shall reasonably request and take any other actions reasonably
requested to evidence or effect such termination.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to the Borrower in connection with the Credit
Agreement. This opinion is being furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(v) of the
Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following
materials:
(a) the Credit Agreement and the other documents executed and
delivered in connection therewith identified on Schedule I hereto
----------
(collectively referred to herein as the "CREDIT DOCUMENTS");
(b) the certificate of limited partnership, as amended (the "BORROWER

(c) the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership (the
"OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT") of the Borrower, dated as of July 31, 1996,

(g) the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership (the

(h) certificates of good standing issued by the State of
incorporation or formation, as applicable, of each Loan Party;
(i) a certificate of the Secretary of the Company and a certificate
of the Secretary of AGH GP, each dated as of the date hereof, as to the

(k) the other instruments and documents delivered at today's closing,
including certificates or telegrams of public officials as to matters set forth
therein and certificates of representatives of the Borrower as to matters set
forth therein.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the capacity to sign and
the genuineness of all signatures of all persons executing agreements,
instruments or documents examined or relied upon by us, the authenticity of all
agreements, instruments or documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity with the original agreements, instruments or documents of all
agreements, instruments or documents submitted to us as copies.
We have also assumed that as to all parties other than Loan Parties
the due authorization, execution, acknowledgement as indicated thereon and
delivery of documents referred to herein, and the validity, binding effect and
enforceability thereof against all parties thereto other than the Loan Parties
and that each of the Agents and each of the Banks has full power, authority and
legal right, under its charter and other governing documents and all applicable
laws to execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under the
Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the other documents referred to
therein and herein to which it is a party.
With respect to matters of fact, we have relied upon the written
statements and certificates of officers AGH GP (on behalf of the Borrower), or
UPREIT (on behalf of Durham) and authorized representatives of the Company
(including, without limitation, in the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A
---------
and referred to herein as the "OFFICERS CERTIFICATE"), representations made by

documents provided to us by the Loan Parties in connection with this engagement
and inquires of officers of AGH GP, UPREIT and the Company, the results of which
are reflected in the Officers Certificate. We have not independently verified
the accuracy of the matters set forth in the written statements or certificates
upon which we have relied, including the organization, existence, good standing,
assets, business or affairs of the Loan Parties.
BATTLE XXXXXX LLP Page 4

have relied upon the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Ingersoll, LLP addressed
to us, dated the date hereof, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B
---------
and (ii) Nevada law, we have relied exclusively upon the opinion XxXxxxxx
Carano Xxxxxx XxXxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit C.
---------
Except for the opinions set forth in paragraphs (1) through (3)
below, we express no opinions and no opinions should be implied.
We are not admitted to practice law in any jurisdiction other
than the State of New York and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of
any states or jurisdictions except as to New York law, the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the

of America.
Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing and solely in
reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Borrower and Durham is a limited partnership
duly formed validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of formation with full partnership power and authority to own,
lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently
conducted and to execute and perform its obligations under the Credit Documents

of the Borrower and Durham of its obligations under, the Credit Documents to
which it is a party have been duly and validly authorized.

delivered by each Loan Party which is a party thereto.
This opinion is being rendered to you and the other Banks and the
Bank's respective counsel for your and their sole use and may not be made
available to or relied upon by any other person, firm or entity without our
express prior written consent except for future Banks or participants in the
Credit Agreement.

The Plaintiff alleges his slip and fall in the restaurant, Red Xxxxx was a
result of not taking certain actions to alleviate the dangerous condition of the
property. The Date of Service was our first notice of this event. It is our
intention to seek a dismissal from this litigation since at the time of the
event Red Xxxxx was operated as a separate business entity which assumed all
responsibility for occurrences within the restaurant area. The
responsible parties for this law suit should be Magic Restaurant, Inc. and Red
Xxxxx. The Plaintiff Attorney has been advised of such. The amount of damages
the Plaintiff is seeking is no specified in the Complaint. Until dismissed from
this matter Fireman's Fund insurance company will defend and indemnify American
General Hospitality Corporation with the limits noted above. We seek a Voluntary

amount sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty, but in any event for
not less than two (2) years gross receipts from all sources of income from
the Hotel Property. Each such policy of property insurance shall contain a
replacement cost
endorsement and such other endorsements as are sufficient to prevent the
Borrower, the Agents and/or the Borrower's Subsidiaries from becoming a co-
insurer with respect to such buildings and improvements.
ii. During the renovation or expansion of any Hotel Property the
Borrower will additionally provide: (i) Builder's Risk Insurance on an "all
risks" basis including flood, earthquake (if required pursuant to the
provisions of and in the amount stated in clause (a)) and sinkhole
coverages, and also including Stored Materials and materials while in
transit, and (ii) Statutory Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability
Insurance in the minimum amounts of $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000
each employee - disease, $1,000,000 policy limit - disease, covering each
contractor and all other contractors or subcontractors who may have
occasion to be at the job site.
iii Such additional insurance as may be reasonably required by the
Administrative Agent from time to time in the event that any Hotel Property
is exposed to hazards and risks with respect to which the Administrative
Agent deems the existing insurance inadequate to properly protect its
interests.
All policies of liability insurance shall name the Agents, the Banks and
their respective directors, officers, representatives, agents and employees (the
"Banks' Parties") as additional insureds. The Borrower shall furnish the
Administrative Agent with a certified copy of an original or a certificate of
insurance of all policies of insurance required. All policies or certificates,
as the case may be, of insurance shall set forth the coverage, the limits of
liability, the name of the carrier, the policy number, the Best's Rating of the
carrier and the period of coverage. In addition, all policies of insurance
required under the terms hereof shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the
insurer that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such
policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of the Borrower, the Participating
Lessee, the Manager or any party holding under any such Person which might
otherwise result in a forfeiture of said insurance and the further agreement of
the insurer waiving all rights of setoff, counterclaim or deductions against the
Borrower. At least 15 days prior to the expiration of each required policy, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of the renewal or
replacement of such policy, continuing such insurance in the form as required by
this Agreement. All such policies shall contain a provision that
notwithstanding any contrary agreement between the Borrower and the applicable
insurance company, such policies will not be canceled, allowed to lapse without
renewal, surrendered or amended (which provision shall include any reduction in
the scope or limits of coverage) without at least 15 days' prior written notice
to the Administrative Agent.
