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

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

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined in good faith by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount.

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

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

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

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

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, amounts contained in the foregoing pledged account shall be released to Borrower on a monthly basis to the extent not applied toward debt service on the Loan.

(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Section 2.3. Loan Payment.

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

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

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

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

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

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

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

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

-59-

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

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

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

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

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments from Net Proceeds. (a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Individual Property, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the denominator is the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan and the Other Mezzanine Loans times (ii) the Net Proceeds, together with interest accruing on such amount calculated through and including the end of the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs (with the balance of the Net Proceeds to be paid over to the Second Mezzanine Lender, for application in accordance with the Second Mezzanine Loan Agreement), and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, 100% of the Net Proceeds. No Spread Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a). Any

-60-

prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. Following the prepayment made as described in this Section 2.4.2(a), the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Individual Property, as set forth in this Agreement, shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Any prepayment of the Notes made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a) shall be applied pro rata and pari passu (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Notes.

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

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

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or any other Person and accepted by Lender or otherwise recovered by Lender

In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower agree as follows:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (b) and (c) hereof, all amounts collected in the Collection Accounts shall be transferred on each Business Day to (or as directed by) Operating Company for use or distribution by the Operating Company in its discretion free of any rights or encumbrances of Lender.

-68-

In the event Borrower shall have failed to cause Mortgage Borrower to so instruct Collection Bank, Lender shall have the right to so direct the Collection Bank on behalf of Mortgage Borrower. Any amounts not required to be so deposited into the Cash Management Account shall be transferred on each Business Day thereafter to (or as directed by) Operating Company for use or distribution by the Operating Company in its discretion free of any rights or encumbrances of Lender. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to the extent Monthly Disbursements are not applied to the payment of amounts due hereunder, such excess shall be remitted to Second Mezzanine Lender (or to an account designated by Second Mezzanine Lender); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not remit any such amounts in excess of the amounts owed by the Operating Company under the Operating Lease. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to the extent Monthly Disbursements are not applied to the payment of amounts due hereunder, Lender shall have the right to retain such excess as collateral for the Loan and/or apply such excess to the payment of the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including, without limitation, Section 9.4(a) hereof), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any and all reasonable and customary costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Servicer in remitting to Operating Company pursuant to this Section 2.6.2(b) any amounts in excess of Monthly Disbursements shall be borne by, and be the responsibility of, Borrower. Lender and Servicer shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be held harmless in relying on, any instructions from Borrower and/or Operating Company in connection with the remittance of any funds from the Cash Management Account to Operating Company pursuant to this Section 2.6.2(b).

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Operating Lease) under any Operating Lease, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to notify Collection Bank to transfer to the Cash Management Account on each Business Day in immediately available funds by federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in each Collection Account and, in the event Mortgage Borrower shall have failed to do so, Mortgage Lender (or Lender in the event of Mortgage Lender’s failure to so

-69-

Lender shall have the right to retain all amounts to be paid into the Cash Management Account in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.6.2(c) as collateral for the Loan and/or apply such amount to the payment of the Debt.

All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Mortgage Borrower or Borrower.

(b) Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower or Operating Company to further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Cash Management Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC 1 Financing Statements, except those naming Mortgage Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(c) Borrower hereby agrees that in the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents require Mortgage Borrower and/or Operating Company to maintain the Cash Management Account, but (due to repayment of the Mortgage Loan, waiver of the requirement by Mortgage Lender, or otherwise) the Cash Management Account is not being maintained, Borrower shall establish a cash management account and system with Lender substantially the same as that required under the Mortgage Loan Documents. If Borrower is required to deposit amounts with Lender pursuant to Article VII hereof, Borrower shall establish a cash management account and system with Lender substantially the same as that required under the Mortgage Loan Documents (and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 2.6.2 of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and grant to Lender security interests in such accounts for the benefit of Lender, as if such provisions were incorporated herein for the benefit of Lender).

2.6.4 Mezzanine Collection Account. (a) Lender or Servicer may establish and maintain, to collect all amounts distributed to Lender under Section 2.6.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, a segregated Eligible Account (the “Mezzanine Collection Account”) to be held by Servicer in trust for the benefit of Lender, which Mezzanine Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (which may be exercised through Servicer). Lender (and its agents, including Servicer) shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Mezzanine Collection Account in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Borrower shall provide Lender, at any time upon request of Lender, with a Form W-8 or W-9 to evidence that Borrower is not subject to any back-up withholding under the Code.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all funds on deposit in the Mezzanine Collection Account shall be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.

(e) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Mezzanine Collection Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

If Lender responds to Borrower’s request by identifying missing documents or materials that are incomplete or inaccurate (and that are the subject of the request for confirmation or approval, as the case may be), then Borrower shall re-submit such documents or materials to Lender for its confirmation or approval, as applicable, together with a second notice from Borrower that complies with this Section. If Lender fails to approve or disapprove (or confirm or deny, as applicable) any such proposed request or submission attached to a first notice or request sent by Borrower (or the matters that are the subject of the re-submitted notice or request for confirmation or approval) within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of same, Borrower shall re-submit such instruments or materials to Lender for Lender’s confirmation or approval and give Lender a second notice (in bold typeface) that states

Such security, including the amount of the guaranteed obligations under any completion guaranty delivered as aforesaid, shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and (ii) the costs of collection, and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender (and shall cause Operating Company and Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender) any notice of material non-compliance or material violation of any Legal Requirement, or of any material inquiry or investigation commenced by the Gaming Authorities in connection with any of the Properties.

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

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

-127-

any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed upon, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.

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

-128-

modified notes to change), (c) not adversely affect the overall economics to Borrower of the Loan, taken as a whole, or (d) expose Borrower to any additional costs or increased risk of any liability (beyond that or greater than that existing in the Loan Documents in effect on the date hereof).

(d) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

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

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

-129-

at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

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

Section 8.3. Intentionally Omitted.

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

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

-131-

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

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

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

-132-

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

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

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

-133-

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

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

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

-134-

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

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

-136-

Borrower, Operating Company or any Guarantor making an assignment for the benefit of creditors (other than Lender), or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due;

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

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

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

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

-137-

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

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

Section 9.6. Participation. Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in compliance with applicable law, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (A) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 (subject to requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Noteholder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.5. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

-138-

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

Section 9.8. Notice; Registration Requirement. No Syndication of any part of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan shall be effective or permitted under Section 9.5 until (a) an assignment and acceptance agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) with respect to such Syndication shall have been delivered to Lender, (b) Lender shall have registered such Assignee’s name and address in the Register which Lender maintains for the recordation of the names, addresses and interests of Noteholders, and (c) if such Assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, such Assignee shall deliver any tax forms required hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. This Section 9.8 shall not apply to any Central Bank Pledge.

Section 9.9. Registry. Borrower hereby designates Lender to serve as Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 9.9, to maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Assignee, and the principal amount of the Loan (or portions thereof) owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, its interest in the Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by Lender with respect to ownership of such Loan and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Note shall remain

-139-

owing to the transferor. The registration of a transfer of all or part of the Loan shall be recorded by Lender on the Register only upon the acceptance by Lender of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Acceptance by the assignor and assignee. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower from time to time. At the assigning Lender’s option, concurrently with the delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which an interest of such Lender in the Loan was assigned to such Assignee, the assigning Lender shall surrender to Borrower its Note, if any, evidencing the portion of the Loan corresponding to the interest so transferred and Borrower shall deliver to Lender one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount issued to the assigning Lender and/or the Assignee.

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

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

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

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

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

-140-

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

MISCELLANEOUS

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

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

-146-

Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

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

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

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

-147-

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

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

Section 10.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than those the fees and other claims of which shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender and each Noteholder harmless from and against any and all claims,

-148-

liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Each of Lender and (by its acceptance of its respective Note) the Noteholders hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 10.22. Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated December 19, 2006 between Affiliates of Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one agreement with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same signature page.

Section 10.24. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 10.25. Gaming Laws. All rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws.

Section 10.26. Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, provided that any such advice or consultation shall be completely nonbinding on Borrower, and; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances;

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

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

-150-

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

11.2.4 Events And Circumstances Not Reducing Or Discharging Guarantor’s Obligations.

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

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

(d) Invalidity of Debt.

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

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

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

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

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

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

-152-

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

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

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

Section 11.4. No Release or Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement and is not intended to and shall not extinguish any of the indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents in such a manner as would constitute a release or novation of the original indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Note, the Original Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall this Agreement affect or impair the priority of any liens created thereby or in connection therewith, it being the intention of the parties hereto to preserve all liens and security interests securing payment of the Note and the Debt, which liens and security interests are acknowledged by Borrower to be valid and subsisting against the Collateral and any other security or collateral for the Debt.
