ARTICLE II.
GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrowers.

2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Original Loan Agreement, Lender agreed to make and Borrowers jointly and severally agreed to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.

2.1.2 Loan.

(a) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that, on the Closing Date, Lender made the Loan to Borrowers in the principal amount of $100,000,000.00, which represented a full disbursement of all proceeds of the Loan. On August 1, 2008, Borrower prepaid a portion of the Loan with the Release Parcel Release Price received in connection with the sale of certain property by Adjacent Borrower, resulting in an Outstanding Principal Balance of $88,978,170.66. The Loan is evidenced by the Note and this Agreement, is secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be repaid with interest, costs and charges as more particularly set forth in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Principal amounts of the Loan which are repaid for any reason may not be reborrowed. Lender shall not fund any portion of the Loan from any account holding “plan assets” of one or more plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101 unless such Loan will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.

(b) Borrowers used the proceeds of the Loan to make a contribution to Mortgage Borrowers for use by Mortgage Borrowers to make the Mezzanine Prepayment.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Generally.

(a) Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the date hereof to and excluding the Maturity Date at the Monthly Interest Rate.

(b) Interest on the Interest Differential Amounts shall accrue from the date hereof at the Monthly Interest Rate. All interest accruing on the Interest Differential Amounts shall compound monthly and be determined by Lender (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error).

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate determined in accordance with Section 2.2.1 above and Section 2.2.3 below and based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance or the Accrued Interest amounts, as applicable (it being understood that the portion of Accrued Interest amounts that represents interest on the Interest Differential Amounts shall compound monthly). If, at any time, Lender or Borrowers determine that Lender has miscalculated the Applicable Interest Rate, the Monthly Interest Rate or Accrued Interest (whether because of a miscalculation of LIBOR or otherwise), such party shall notify the other of the necessary correction. Upon the agreement of the parties as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate, the Monthly Interest Rate or Accrued Interest represents an increase in the applicable monthly (or other) payment, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Lender, pay to Lender the corrected amount. Upon the agreement of the parties as to the correction, if the corrected Applicable Interest Rate, Monthly Interest Rate or

Accrued Interest (if such Accrued Interest shall have been paid) represents an overpayment by Borrowers to Lender and no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall promptly refund the overpayment to Borrowers or, at Borrowers’ option, credit such amounts against Borrowers’ payment next due hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Debt Service payment due on the Payment Date occurring in January, 2010 shall be $312,441.88.

2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate.

(a) If the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3(c) or (f) hereof, the Loan shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3 and Section 2.3.1, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrowers shall pay interest on the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period and shall pay the Accrued Interest as set forth in Section 2.2.1 hereof. Any change in the Applicable Interest Rate hereunder due to a change in LIBOR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day of the applicable Interest Period.

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

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

(e) (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.2.3(e), with respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrowers shall make such deductions, and (C) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with

applicable law. If Lender gives Borrowers written notice that any such amounts are payable by Borrowers, Borrowers shall pay all such amounts to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements by the later of (1) five (5) Business Days after receipt of demand from Lender and (2) their due date, and, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrowers shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

(ii) Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), each Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.2.3) paid by Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that, if Borrowers determine that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally imposed or asserted, Lender shall, upon payment by Borrowers of the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, allow Borrowers to contest (and shall cooperate in such contest), the imposition of such tax upon the reasonable request of Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to participate in any contest that would, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to a material commercial disadvantage or require it to disclose any information it considers confidential or proprietary. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by Lender (together with any supporting detail reasonably requested by Borrowers), shall be conclusive, provided that such amounts are determined on a reasonable basis.

(iii) Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under U.S. law, the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrowers are located (if other than the U.S.), or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrowers, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, or as reasonably requested by Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), on or before the date that such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, two (2) properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or successor forms thereto), claiming a complete exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrowers under this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender (unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a change in law) and shall promptly notify Borrowers at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.

(iv) Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that, on or before it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter before the expiration or obsolescence of the previously delivered form, it will deliver to Borrowers a United

States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish exemption from United States backup withholding tax. If required by applicable law, Borrowers are hereby authorized to deduct from any payments due to Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.3 hereof the amount of any withholding taxes resulting from Lender’s failure to comply with this Section 2.2.3(e)(iv).

(v) If Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of or will receive a credit for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), it shall pay over to Borrowers an amount equal to the additional amounts paid by Borrowers under this Section 2.2.3(e) (with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrowers, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any interest to the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to Borrowers) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority or is unable to claim the credit. This Section 2.2.3(e)(v) shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.

(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, if any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrowers hereby agree promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder; provided that such additional amount is generally charged by Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof, in the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive having the force of law hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

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

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or

compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any material amount; or

(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the actual out-of-pocket cost to Lender of maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that such additional amount is generally charged by Lender to other borrowers with loans similar to the Loan. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrowers 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.

(h) Each Borrower agrees to pay to Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual out-of-pocket expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrowers in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrowers did not give the prior notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing interest at the Applicable Interest Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such actual out-of-pocket expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, fraud, illegal acts or gross negligence. No Breakage Costs shall be due or payable if, in connection with any prepayment of the Loan by Borrowers, Borrowers pay interest through the next Payment Date as provided in Section 2.4.1 hereof.

(i) Subject to Section 2.2.3(e) above, Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrowers in writing of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrowers a written statement setting forth in reasonable

detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement, made in good faith, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

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 Borrowers under Section 2.2.3 hereof, including, if requested by Borrowers, 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 additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not separately agreed to by Borrowers to be reimbursed by Borrowers and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its 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 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 (including, without limitation, Accrued Interest), shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment or amount was due without regard to any grace or cure periods or any other provision 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 any Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance or on or in connection with Accrued Interest 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, any Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance or on or in connection with Accrued Interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate, the rate applicable to Accrued Interest or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(a) Prior to the date hereof, Borrowers shall have entered into one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements with a blended LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrowers under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that

the Debt shall be deemed to exist even if one or more of the Properties, the IP or the Collateral is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the current term of the Loan, and (v) when aggregated with all other Interest Rate Cap Agreements, shall have an initial notional amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the date hereof. Borrowers shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under all Interest Rate Cap Agreements, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreements (which shall, by their respective terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account).

(b) Borrowers shall comply with all of their obligations under the terms and provisions of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrowers or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account. Borrowers shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(c) In the event of any downgrade of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty below “A+” by S&P or “A1” by Moody’s, Borrowers shall replace the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) with one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade.

(d) In the event that Borrowers fail to purchase and deliver to Lender any Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fail to maintain each Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, after ten (10) Business Days notice to Borrowers and Borrowers’ failure to cure, Lender may purchase the required Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) and the actual out-of-pocket cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such actual out-of-pocket cost is reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender.

(e) In connection with each Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(ii) the execution and delivery of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder

have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

(iv) such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(f) At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in all Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall terminate and Lender shall, at Borrowers’ reasonable expense, promptly execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required and prepared by the Counterparty and/or Borrowers to evidence release of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, at all times maintain, preserve and protect in all material respects all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property necessary for the conduct of its business as contemplated hereunder, and, subject to Mortgage Borrowers’ right to demolish the Improvements on the Adjacent Property subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.18 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair in all material respects, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties in accordance with the terms and provisions of the O&M Agreements in all material respects. After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest, or may cause any other Loan Party to contest, by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to any Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) no Event of Default, Mortgage Event of Default or any Mezzanine Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which such Loan Party is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) none of any Property, the First Mezzanine

Collateral, the Collateral nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) such Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against such Loan Party, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or any Property; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause each other Loan Party to furnish, such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Following any non-compliance with such Legal Requirement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or any Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay, all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers’ obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Mortgage Borrowers comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or Borrowers comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers will deliver, or will cause Mortgage Borrowers to deliver, to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date upon which any interest or late charges shall begin to accrue thereon; provided, however, Mortgage Borrowers shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, if applicable. Borrowers shall not suffer, and shall not permit any other Loan Party to suffer, and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide reasonable security for) any Lien or charge against any of the Properties, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral, and shall promptly pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay, for all utility services provided to any of the Properties.

the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Property, the First Mezzanine Collateral and the Collateral; and (f) such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such other Loan Party to furnish, such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral or any Property (or any part of any of the foregoing or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any imminent danger of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement being primed by any related Lien.

5.1.3 Litigation. Borrowers shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against any Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on (a) the business operations, economic performance, assets, financial condition, equity, contingent liabilities, material agreements or results of operations of any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any Property, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral, (b) the enforceability or validity of any Loan Document, the perfection or priority of any Lien created under any Loan Document or the remedies of Lender under any Loan Document, (c) the ability of any Loan Party, HRHI or any Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its respective obligations under each of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the First Mezzanine Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, as applicable, or (d) the value of, or cash flow from, any Property, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the Collateral.

5.1.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause each other Loan Party to reasonably cooperate, fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which in any way materially affects the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

(c) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall submit to Lender (and Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to submit to Mortgage Lender) an Annual Budget not later than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year.

(d) In the event that any Mortgage Borrower must incur any Extraordinary Expense, then Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender (and Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly deliver to Mortgage Lender) a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, provided that Mortgage Borrower shall be permitted to obtain a disbursement of funds for payment of Extraordinary Expenses prior to obtaining Lender approval thereof and to the extent provided under the provisions of Section 2.6.2(b)(iii) and 2.6.2(c)(v) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (further provided that, inter alia, the same when combined with any disbursements made with respect to Pre-Opening Expenses in such calendar month do not exceed $586,000 in the aggregate) but shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(h) and Borrowers’ obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior approval by Lender shall be required for any Extraordinary Expense needed to be incurred immediately to prevent imminent injury to person or damage to property, provided that within three (3) Business Days thereafter Borrowers shall provide reasonably satisfactory evidence to Lender to demonstrate the imminent necessity and reasonableness of the Extraordinary Expense incurred.

(e) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that any or more Borrowers alone or any one or more Borrowers and one or more Affiliates of any Borrower collectively, or the Collateral or any one or more of the Properties alone or any one or more of the Properties and any one or more Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter of Borrowers, and (C) not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in

connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall furnish, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any Property, but only to the extent such tenant is required to provide such financial data and/or financial statements under its Lease, if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mezzanine loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

(f) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.1.11(e) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (unless otherwise specified) and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements.

All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrowers or Mortgage Borrowers under Section 5.1.11(e) hereof shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of each Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.11(f).

(h) In the event Lender reasonably determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or any other Legal Requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1.11(e) and (f) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrowers shall promptly provide, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

5.1.12 Business and Operations. Borrowers will continue, and will cause each Loan Party to continue, to engage in the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Properties or the IP, as applicable. Each Borrower will qualify, and will cause each other Loan Party to qualify, to do business and will remain, and will cause each other Loan Party to remain, in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Properties or the IP, as applicable.

101

Members or an assignment by any Borrower or any of its Constituent Members for the benefit of its creditors, and Lender incurs costs in connection with any such proceeding as a direct or indirect result of the Loan, then, in any of the foregoing instances, each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or any Borrower in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein.

(d) Borrowers shall deliver, within ten (10) Business Days after request by Lender from time to time, estoppel certificates from each Mortgage Borrower and/or each Mezzanine Borrower, covering substantially the same matters as set forth in clause (a) above and any other matters reasonably requested by Lender.

Any Major Leases with respect to any Property executed after the date hereof shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that renewals of any Major Lease by Mortgage Borrowers initially executed prior to the Closing Date shall not require the approval of Lender if the terms of any such Lease provided for renewals at a reasonably determinable rent.

Other than the construction of the Project, which shall be governed by the provisions of Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, obtain Lender’s prior consent to any material alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on any Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Collateral, the applicable Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease, (b) do not materially adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements and the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed the Alteration Threshold Amount, or (c) are performed in connection with the Restoration of a Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and this Agreement.

If Lender fails to approve or disapprove the request within such fifteen (15) Business Days, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. Should Lender fail to approve any such request, Lender shall give Borrowers written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disapproval. In no event shall Lender require any “consent fee” as a condition to any required approval. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at any Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold Amount, Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, (D) a Letter of Credit, or (E) a completion and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank; provided, however, that (i) in the event (A) Mortgage Borrowers are required to and do deliver such security to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (B) if the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, First Mezzanine Borrowers are required to and do deliver such security to First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement; and (ii) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the delivery of such security by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender, or by First Mezzanine Borrowers to First Mezzanine Lender, as applicable, then Borrowers shall not be required to deliver any such security to Lender. Such security (if given as set forth above) shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable

Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold Amount 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.

(b) Each Borrower shall deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion, that (i) such Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) none of the assets of such Borrower constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA for purposes of any state law provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

(A) Equity interests in such Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3 101(b)(2);

5.2.10 Transfers.

(a) Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrowers and their direct and indirect members in owning and operating the Collateral and Mortgage Borrowers in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrowers’ ownership of the Collateral as a means of maintaining the value of the Collateral as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents. Additionally, Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Mortgage Borrowers and their general partners, members, principals and (if any Mortgage Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as the Properties and in owning intellectual property such as the IP, in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Mortgage Borrowers’ ownership of the Properties and the IP as a means of maintaining the value of the Properties and the IP and, therefore, indirectly the value of the Collateral, as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents.

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

Section 6.1 Insurance.

(a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times during the term of the Loan the insurance required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting all insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause Lender to be named as an additional named insured under each of the insurance policies described in Section 6.1(a)(ii), (iii), (v), (vii), and (xii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the insurance policies required under Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to cause all insurance policies required under this Section 6.1 to provide for at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation or material changes. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies reasonably satisfactory to Lender and accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) shall be delivered by Borrowers to Lender; provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrowers may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by the original Policies when issued.

124

(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon two (2) Business Days’ written notice to Borrowers, to take such reasonable action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender within ten (10) days after demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, proof of all property coverages required under Section 6.1(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be on an Acord 28 Evidence of Property Form (2003/10 version) or on such other binding form as is then generally used or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to above (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as are provided in favor of Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of each of the Loan Parties. The Policies delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described in Section 6.1(e) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same rights as Mortgage Lender as referred to in such Section 6.1(e).

(e) Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan and the First Mezzanine Loan, the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all related definitions shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety.

Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration so that such Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (to the extent such alterations are of a type that would require Lender’s approval under Section 5.1.21 hereof) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A) Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Borrowers shall not be required to cause Mortgage

125

Borrowers to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to Mortgage Borrowers. It is expressly understood, however, that Mortgage Borrowers shall not be obligated to restore such Property to the precise condition of such Property prior to such Casualty provided such Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay, all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by any Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and the applicable Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation. In the event of a Casualty in which the Net Proceeds and the costs of completing the Restoration are each less than the Restoration Threshold, Borrowers may settle and adjust such claim without Lender’s consent or participation.

Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Property or any part thereof and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings with respect to any Condemnation in which Borrowers’ reasonable estimate (based on any statement of value submitted to the condemning authority or any other reasonable evidence in Lender’s reasonable judgment) of the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, and the applicable Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall, to the extent required hereunder, consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4.3(c) hereof and, with respect to the determination of the Exit Fee payable in connection therewith, Section 2.8 hereof. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided, that if (A) Mortgage Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers for purposes of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (B) Mortgage Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Mortgage Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Mortgage Borrowers, then Mortgage Borrowers shall not be obligated to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to Mortgage Borrowers. If such Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion

126

thereof sufficient to pay the Debt (and all components thereof, including, without limitation, the Exit Fee).

Section 6.4 Restoration.

Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally.

(a) Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds held by Lender and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4.4 hereof (with the determination of the Exit Fee payable in connection therewith being made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8), which Section 2.4.4 provides for the application of such amounts to the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, until the Debt is paid in full, with any amounts remaining being disbursed as follows: (i) first, to Third Mezzanine Lender for application by Third Mezzanine Lender in accordance with the terms of the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents if the Third Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, until the Third Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and (ii) then, any balance remaining to Borrowers.

(c) Any amount remaining in any of the Reserve Funds after the Obligations have been satisfied shall be released to Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that if (1) all of the Obligations have been satisfied, (2) there is any amount remaining in any of the Reserve Funds, and (3) the Third Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not pay any such remaining amount in any of the Reserve Funds to Borrowers, but rather shall deliver such amount to Third Mezzanine Lender to be held in accordance with the terms of the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

(d) Except to the extent provided in the Mezzanine Loan Documents, Borrowers shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund 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 Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(e) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund, except that all interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be retained by Lender. Borrowers shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Fund is required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Fund was created,

131

and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrowers shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund). No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.9. Borrowers shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.

(f) Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, third party claims, demands, liabilities, actual losses, actual damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages), obligations and reasonable costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds held by Lender or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, excluding matters arising from Lender’s or its agents’ fraud, willful misconduct, illegal acts or gross negligence. Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims any Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Section 7.9 Transfer of Mortgage Reserve Funds. If Mortgage Lender waives any reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, which reserves or escrow accounts are also required in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, or if the Mortgage Loan is paid off in full (without a prepayment of the Loan in full), then Borrowers shall cause any amounts that had been, or would have been, deposited into any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be deposited or transferred to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article VII (and Borrowers shall enter into a cash management and lockbox agreement for the benefit of Lender substantially similar to the arrangement entered into between Mortgage Borrowers and Mortgage Lender at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan).

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers 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, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law. 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, each Borrower agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that if an

137

Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Pledge Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to each Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Collateral or any particular portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the obligations in preference or priority to any other collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Obligations. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement 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 Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement to recover such delinquent payments, and/or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the sum of the entire Outstanding Principal Balance and all Accrued Interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance (or amounts owing) as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral and any other collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.

(c) Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s sole cost and expense except during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which event the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, 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, provided that Borrowers’ liability or obligation shall not be increased by such severance. Borrowers 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 reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Subject to applicable Gaming Laws, each 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, each 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 five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization and expressly provided pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the

138

Loan Documents (modified to reflect the current status of such representations and warranties) and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.

(d) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrowers 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 any Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by any Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan 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 declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Note, together with all other sums payable under the Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly hereby waived by Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 8.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Borrowers hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender is authorized to enter upon any Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties 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 8.3, 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 notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to 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 shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and enforced as a lien against the Collateral and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

ARTICLE IX.
SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, at any time from and after the Closing Date, Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or require Borrowers to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or issue one or more participations therein and/or syndicate the Loan, which restructuring may include the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to one or more of the foregoing or into one or more additional mezzanine loans to the direct and/or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrowers as reasonably, mutually determined by Lender and Borrowers and that are direct or indirect subsidiaries of HR Holdings, secured by a pledge of such interests, 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 Borrowers under this Agreement, Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable good faith 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 (including, without limitation, any purchaser of all or any portion of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and/or a Mezzanine Loan and/or any purchaser of any participation interest in any such loan) and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization, including, without limitation, to:

(i) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information or other information with respect to the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral and/or the Collateral reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies, together with, if customary or if otherwise requested by any Rating Agency, appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(ii) review descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with third-party service providers engaged to obtain, collect, and deliver information reasonably requested or reasonably required by Lender, prospective investors or the Rating Agencies;

(iii) if required by any Rating Agency or reasonably required by any above-referenced investor in the applicable loan, (A) deliver updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, the IP, the Collateral, any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor, any of their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (B) amend the Special Purpose Entity provisions of the organizational documents for each Loan Party, which counsel opinions and amendments to the organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

140

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

(v) provide, as of the closing date of the Securitization, updated representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents to the extent they are true as of the closing of the Securitization;

(vi) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect such 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 (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note may change the interest rate of the Loan), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components 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, however, that (A) such new notes or modified note will not change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note unless the varying interest rates shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note, (B) such amendments to the Loan Documents or the new notes or modified note will not modify or amend any other economic or material term of the Loan in a manner materially adverse to any Loan Party, HRHI or Guarantors or any of their respective Constituent Members, or (C) such amendments to the Loan Documents will not materially increase any Loan Party’s or Guarantors’ obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease the rights of Borrowers under the Loan Documents;

(vii) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding any Property, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, any Loan Party, any Mezzanine Borrower, HRHI, the Gaming Operator, any Manager, the Liquor Manager and/or the Loan which is contained in any 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

(viii) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports concerning any Loan Party, any Mezzanine Borrower, HRHI, any Guarantor, the Loan, any Property, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral and/or the Collateral in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.

141

(b) Lender shall pay all reasonable third party costs and expenses (excluding fees and expenses of Borrowers’ legal counsel) in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) incurred by Borrowers in connection with Borrowers’ complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 and/or under Section 9.2 hereof, provided, however, the fees and expenses of Borrowers’ legal counsel and Borrowers’ administrative costs shall not be included in such amount and Borrowers shall remain at all times responsible for the fees and expenses of their legal counsel and their own administrative costs. In addition to the foregoing, Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance charges.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a Securitization that involves a participation or restructuring into one or more additional mezzanine loans, Borrowers shall not be required to deliver Rating Agency confirmations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time that rated Securities are not outstanding.

Section 9.2 Re-Dating. In connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including, but not limited to, payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a “Re-Dating”) so long as such modification shall not have a materially adverse effect on Borrowers. Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If any Borrower fails to cooperate with Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as each Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating, the foregoing power of attorney being coupled with an interest.

Section 9.3 Securitization Indemnification.

(a) Each Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrowers and their agents, counsel and representatives 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”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to a Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrowers 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.

(b) Upon Lender’s reasonable request, Borrowers shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrowers have examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that to each Borrower’s actual knowledge, each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator

142

and/or the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact in each Borrower’s actual knowledge necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender or any Affiliate of Lender 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 Lender 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 out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, actual damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or liabilities (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 any such Disclosure Document specified by Lender for Borrowers’ review, as it relates to any Loan Party, any Loan Party’s Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan, known by any Borrower to be untrue or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact in any Borrower’s actual knowledge, required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other reasonable expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to any of the Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement is provided.

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall (i) indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Persons 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 any Disclosure Documents specified by Lender for Borrowers’ review, as it relates to the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, Guarantors, HRHI, the Properties, the IP, the First Mezzanine Collateral, the Collateral, the Managers, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan, or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Disclosure Document a material fact in any Loan Party’s actual knowledge, required to be stated in such Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in such Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with

143

defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrowers in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document(s) or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or in the ordinary course of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of any Loan Party, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to any of the Properties.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 9.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrowers under this Section 9.3, notify Borrowers in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrowers will not relieve any Borrower from any liability which any Borrower may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent that such failure to notify causes material prejudice to any Borrower. In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies Borrowers of the commencement thereof, Borrowers will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that they may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. After notice from Borrowers to such Indemnified Person under this Section 9.3, such Indemnified Person shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and any Borrower and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to Borrowers, the Indemnified Person(s) 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(s) at the cost of Borrowers. Borrowers shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless any 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 Lender, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Borrower shall 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 Borrowers shall have given Lender 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 proceeding. As long as Borrowers have complied with their obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrowers shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(f) Borrowers agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.3 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 9.3), then Borrowers, on the one hand, and such

144

Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrowers, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative faults of Borrowers, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (A) Lender’s and Borrowers’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; and (B) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.3, no Person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other Person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(g) Borrowers agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.3 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. Borrowers further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.3.

(h) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, the liabilities and obligations of Borrowers and Lender under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against any Borrower only to the extent of such Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against any Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name any Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, the Non-Recourse Guaranty, the Closing Completion Guaranty, the Construction Completion Guaranty and the HRHI Guaranty, or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e)

145

constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (f) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage (excluding any lost revenue, diminution of value and other consequential damages), reasonable cost, reasonable expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor or any of their respective principals, officers, agents or employees in connection with the Loan;

(ii) physical waste to any Property arising from the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of any Loan Party, HRHI, any Guarantor or any of their respective principals, officers, agents or employees and/or any removal of any asset forming a part of any Property in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

146

(vi) if any Loan Party fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity as required pursuant to the terms hereof;

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.

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

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

Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder. To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

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

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrowers. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any

156

case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse, Lender, within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrowers’ ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrowers’ respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on their part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental, gaming and insurance requirements; (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by or benefiting any Borrower; (iii) securing Borrowers’ compliance with their obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) all fees payable hereunder, including, without limitation, the Exit Fee; (vi) dealing with any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender hereunder; (vii) enforcing or preserving any of Lender’s rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Property, the IP, the Collateral or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from any Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with respect to any Property, the IP or the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 10.13(a) or in any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in the event that (A) Lender employs counsel to collect the Debt, protect or foreclose the Pledge Agreement or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) Lender has sold or transferred any interests in the Note, then Borrowers shall only be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and expenses of the counsel of one Lender.

(b) Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, out-of-pocket losses, actual damages (but not lost revenues, diminution in value and other consequential damages), penalties, actions, judgments, third party suits, third party claims, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the

157

reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by any Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrowers 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, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(c) Borrowers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay for or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency and required pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in connection with any request or approval sought by Borrowers, and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation; provided, however, that Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Rating Agency surveillance charges.

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

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

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrowers 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 any Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of secured party, pledgee or lender.

158

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder and/or to disbursements from the Reserve Funds 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 and/or will refuse to make any disbursement from any Reserve Fund 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.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.16(a) hereof, Borrowers expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) DLJ Merchant Banking, Inc. is an affiliate of Original Lender and various of its indirect subsidiaries and/or affiliates own indirect ownership interests in each Borrower (the “DLJ Entities”), and (ii) neither the Lender named herein nor any successor or assign thereof shall have any liability to Borrower as a result of such relationship between Original Lender and the DLJ Entities, including, without limitation, under any theory of lender liability.

(d) The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party, nor shall this Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any Trade Contractors including any Major Contractors or others for goods and materials supplied or work and labor furnished in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of the Project or for debts or claims accruing to any such Persons against Mortgage Borrowers or Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents, or any conduct or course of conduct by the parties hereto, before or after signing the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating any rights, claims or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any Major Contractor or other Trade Contractor, or any of their respective creditors, or any other Person.

(e) Observation, inspection and approvals, if applicable, by Lender of the Plans and Specifications, the construction of the Project and/or the workmanship and materials used therein shall impose no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on Lender and no Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Trade Contractor or other interested Person, under any circumstances, shall be entitled to rely upon such inspections and approvals by Lender for any reason. Approvals granted by Lender for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any such approval.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, Lender hereby waives any and all rights to approve or otherwise consent to (i) any Change Order; (ii) any reallocation of Contingency Line Items under the Loan Budget and/or (iii) any FF&E leases, and in no event shall Borrower be required to see Lender’s approval of or consent to the same.

159

Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender, Credit Suisse or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by applicable state or federal securities laws, rules or regulations or other applicable Legal Requirements, or as customarily and reasonably requested by any Gaming Authorities, shall not be subject to Lender’s prior written approval.

Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of any Borrower, any Borrower’s partners and others with interests in any Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement, 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 Collateral 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 Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each 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 or otherwise to offset any Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which any Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this 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. Each Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, such 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 any Borrower, and each 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. Each 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 businesses of Borrowers or their Affiliates.

160

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.

(a) Each Borrower hereby represents that neither it nor any of its Affiliates has dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (but only for one (1) set of attorneys)) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any Borrower or an Affiliate of any Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

(d) Borrowers hereby indemnify Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 11.3(a). Lender shall have no obligation to any Loan Party or any other party to make any such payment or performance.

(e) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents or the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in

165

reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan, Borrowers hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 11.3 other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

(f) In the event that Lender cures any Mortgage Event of Default or First Mezzanine Event of Default, any such cure by Lender shall not waive or be deemed to have cured such Mortgage Event of Default or such First Mezzanine Event of Default and shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.

Section 11.5 Independent Approval Rights.

(a) If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender or First Mezzanine Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, and as between Lender and Borrowers only, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or waived any document delivered or action taken, or required to be delivered or taken, by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Agreement related to the construction of the Project which is approved or waived in writing by Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(b) Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan and the risks of First Mezzanine Lender in making the First Mezzanine Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval

166

Mortgage Lender, First Mezzanine Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan and/or the First Mezzanine Loan, and Borrowers hereby waive any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.

Section 11.6 Intercreditor Agreement.

CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Section 15.1 Contribution Generally. As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each individual Borrower may benefit, directly and indirectly, from the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Obligations by other Borrowers (or the application of the collateral owned by such other Borrowers to the

170

payment of the Debt or the performance of the Obligations) and, in consideration therefor, each Borrower (i) desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement with the other Borrowers as set forth in this Article XV to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the applicable Borrowers in the event any obligation of any Borrower is performed by any other Borrower and (ii) agrees to subordinate and subrogate any rights or claims it may have against other Borrowers as and to the extent set forth in this Article XV.

Section 15.2 Reimbursement Contribution. In the event any one or more Borrowers (any such Borrower, a “Funding Borrower”) pays or is deemed to have paid an amount in excess of the principal amount set forth for such Borrower in Schedule XXII (such principal amount, the “Allocable Principal Balance”) (any such payment or deemed payment in excess of the applicable Allocable Principal Balance, a “Contribution”) as a result of (a) such Funding Borrower’s payment of the Debt and/or performance of any of the other Obligations and/or (b) Lender’s realization on the Collateral or other assets owned by such Funding Borrower (whether by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure, private sale or other means), then after (i) payment in full of the Loan and the satisfaction of all of all Borrowers’ other obligations to Lender and (ii) payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans, such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to contribution from each benefited Borrower for the amount of the Contribution so paid, advanced or benefited (any such contribution, a “Reimbursement Contribution”), up to such benefited Borrower’s then current Allocable Principal Balance. The parties acknowledge that the Allocable Principal Balances shown on Schedule XXII were computed assuming the Loan is or has been fully advanced, and that each amount shown in Schedule XXII shall be re-computed (or reduced) proportionally if Reimbursement Contributions are required to be determined for purposes of this Article XV at a time when the Loan has not been fully advanced. Any Reimbursement Contributions required to be made hereunder shall, subject to the balance of the provisions in this Article XV regarding payment, subordination and subrogation, be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor.
