Borrowers used the proceeds of the Original Acquisition Loan to (a) directly or indirectly acquire the Properties and the IP, (b) repay and discharge loans relating, directly or indirectly, to the Properties and/or the IP, (c) make deposits into certain reserve funds, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, (e) fund the cost of construction of certain improvements to the Properties, and (f) for such other purposes as were reasonably approved by Lender, as set forth on a sources and uses of funds schedule executed on the Original Closing Date.

Section 2.2. Interest Rate.

2.2.1. Interest Generally; Payments. Interest on each Note shall accrue from and after the date hereof to but excluding the Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate as in effect for the preceding Interest Period (the “Current Interest Payment”), provided that (x) other than with respect to the payment of accrued interest on the Maturity Date and the payments required under Sections 2.4.2(c) and 2.4.2(d), (y) for so long as the PIK Condition has been satisfied, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion and (z) for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Monthly Interest Payment due on the applicable Payment Date shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the Current Interest Payment and (B) Cash Flow Available for Debt Service. In the event that Cash Flow Available for Debt Service is less than the Current Interest Payment, the resulting PIK’d Interest shall be automatically added to and comprise a part of the Note A Outstanding Principal Balance and shall thereafter accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2.1 (provided that in the event the Note A Outstanding Principal Balance has been previously paid in full, the resulting PIK’d Interest shall be automatically added to the Note B and comprise a part of the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance and thereafter accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2.1).

2.2.2. Interest Calculation. Interest on the principal balance of each Note 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 2.2.3 below and based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c), as applicable, the then Note A Outstanding Principal Balance or the then Note B Outstanding Principal Balance. Supplemental Interest shall be calculated in accordance with Exhibit A.

2.2.3. Determination of Interest Rate.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

 

43


(b) Any change in any 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, any 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, each 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) the Servicer or Lender (as the case may be) 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, such Borrower 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 the Servicer and 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) paid by the Servicer or Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

 

44


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, the Servicer or the Lender, as applicable, 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 the Servicer or 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 a Lender, or by the Servicer on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender (together with any supporting detail reasonably requested by Borrowers), shall be conclusive, provided that such amounts are determined on a reasonable basis.

(iii) Every Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to the Servicer), 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 (except to the extent that such Non-U.S. Lender cannot deliver such documentation as a result of a change in law occurring after the date that such non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and the Servicer (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), reasonably acceptable to Borrowers claiming a complete exemption from 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).

 

45


(v) If the Servicer or a 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 the Servicer or such 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 the Servicer or such 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 the Servicer or such Lender in the event the Servicer or such 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 the Servicer or any 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 any 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

 

46


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 any 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 any LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of any 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 any LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of any Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the LIBOR Spread to the Prime Rate plus the applicable Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance or the Note A Outstanding Principal Balance, as applicable, then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the LIBOR Spread, 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 any 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

 

47


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 all LIBOR Loans 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 re-designation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of all LIBOR Loans or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or re-designation (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 Note A Outstanding Principal Balance and the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance shall each accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.6. Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Notes 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 any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance 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 any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7. Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the date hereof, Borrowers shall have entered into one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements for each of the Components with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price calculated as of the Closing Date. Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty,

 

48


(iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Lockbox 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 or the IP is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for an initial period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, subject to replacement and extension as required by Section 2.2.7(f) below, and (v) when aggregated with all other Interest Rate Cap Agreements, shall have an initial notional amount equal to the then Outstanding Principal Balance. Borrowers shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignments of Interest Rate Caps, 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 Lockbox 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 Lockbox 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;

 

49


(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) If any Interest Rate Cap Agreement is scheduled to mature prior to the Maturity Date (as to any particular Interest Rate Cap Agreement, its “Cap Maturity Date”), Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Cap Maturity Date, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements from an Acceptable Counterparty, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall (i) be effective commencing on the first calendar day after the Cap Maturity Date such that there is no day which is not fully covered by an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) have a LIBOR strike price equal to the applicable Strike Price, calculated as of the Determination Date immediately prior to the applicable Cap Maturity Date, (iii) have a term of not less than twelve (12) months and (iv) shall have a notional amount equal to the then Outstanding Principal Balance. Borrowers shall (x) assign to Lender, as collateral for the Loan, pursuant to a Replacement Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and the Counterparty shall execute an acknowledgment to such Replacement Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap agreeing to make deposits directly into the Lockbox Account and (y) 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 opinion shall comply with Section 2.2.7(e) hereof, and fully executed copies of such Replacement Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap and opinion must

 

50


be delivered to Lender no later than 5pm (NY time) on the first calendar day after any Cap Maturity Date.

(g) 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.

2.2.8. Supplemental Interest.

(a) In addition to interest at the Applicable Rate, which shall be calculated and payable as set forth herein, Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as may be necessary for Lender to receive an annual internal rate of return equal to the greater of (i) 6.50% and (ii) Average LIBOR plus 4%, taking into account all prior payments of interest and principal on the Loan and calculated in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto (such additional amount, “Supplemental Interest”). Supplemental Interest shall be treated as additional interest payable by Borrowers with respect to the Loan and shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and the Loan shall not be satisfied unless and until all Supplemental Interest shall have been received by Lender.

(b) Supplemental Interest shall be payable to Lender prior to the Maturity Date or other prepayment or repayment of the Loan in full, to the extent that funds are available in the Cash Management Account on any Payment Date as set forth in Section 2.6.2 hereof and/or in accordance with the Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities. Lender acknowledges that Supplemental Interest shall be paid only after payment of (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including specifically any PIK’d Interest and (ii) the principal balance of the Subordinate Mortgage Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all as more fully set forth in Section 2.6.2 hereof and/or in accordance with the Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities. Supplemental Interest shall be payable to Lender on the Maturity Date and/or in connection with any other prepayment or repayment of the Loan, whether due to a sale or refinancing or any other transaction.

Section 2.3. Loan Payment.

2.3.1. Payments Generally. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the Monthly Interest Payment required by Section 2.2.1. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment (including, without limitation, payments due on the Maturity Date) is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense

 

51


or any other deduction whatsoever, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2.3(e) hereof.

Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrowers, to change the monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and to correspondingly adjust the Interest Period and Lender and Borrowers shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence any such changes.

2.3.2. Payment on Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, the Supplemental Interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.3. Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrowers by the date on which it is due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (a) four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.4. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office at 156 West 56th Street, Suite 1900, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Jesse Hom, or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

2.4.1. Voluntary Prepayments. From and after the date hereof, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may, at their option and upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender (or such shorter period as may be permitted by Lender), prepay the Debt in whole or in part; provided that any prepayment is accompanied by (i) if such prepayment occurs on a date other than a Payment Date, all interest which would have accrued on the prepaid principal amount through, but not including, the first (1st) day of the next succeeding calendar month, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Interest Period that commenced immediately prior to the applicable Payment Date; and (ii) all other sums due and payable under this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Breakage Costs, if any, and all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrowers to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date; provided, however, Borrowers shall have the right to

 

52


postpone or revoke such prepayment upon written notice to Lender not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is due so long as Borrowers pay Lender and/or Servicer all actual out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or Servicer in connection with such postponement or revocation. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts so prepaid shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account and applied in accordance with the terms of Section 2.6.2(b) hereof, provided that to the extent there are then sufficient funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account to fund the payments described in clauses (i) – (xi) of Section 2.6.2(b), all funds in excess of such payment amounts shall be immediately applied:

(a) First, to the repayment of the Note A Outstanding Principal Balance (inclusive of all PIK’d Interest) (together with any Breakage Costs incurred in connection with such prepayment) until paid in full,

(b) Then, on a pari passu basis, to the repayment of the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance (inclusive of any PIK’d Interest) (together with any Breakage Costs incurred in connection such prepayment) and the Subordinate Mortgage Loan Outstanding Principal Balance until the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance and the Subordinate Mortgage Loan Outstanding Principal Balance have each been paid in full,

(c) Then, any such funds shall be applied to the payment of interest accrued on the Subordinate Mortgage Loan in such amount as may be necessary for Subordinate Lender to receive an annual internal rate of return equal to 15%, calculated in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto,

(d) Then, to the payment of the Supplemental Interest, and

(e) The balance of such funds, if any, shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Net Proceeds Allocation Agreement (the application of funds in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 2.4.1 is hereby referred to as, the “Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities”).

2.4.2. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender is not obligated to, and does not otherwise elect in its sole discretion to, make such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, Borrowers shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds in accordance with the Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities. No penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(a) (but any related Breakage Costs shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof actually receives any Recovered Funds (it being acknowledged and agreed that

 

53


Borrowers shall or shall cause Sponsor and/or the applicable Affiliate to (i) promptly notify Lender of the receipt of any Recovered Funds, (ii) hold such funds in trust for the benefit of Lender and (iii) prepay, or authorize Lender to apply the Recovered Funds to the repayment of Note A, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, then to Note B, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and then to Supplemental Interest, and such Recovered Funds shall not be applied in accordance with the Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities. No penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2(b) (but any related Breakage Costs shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment).

(c) In the event the Debt Yield as determined by Lender as of March 1, 2014 is not equal to or greater than 5.75%, Borrowers shall within 2 days of written notice thereof from Lender, repay the amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance attributable to PIK’d Interest.

Any repayment which satisfies the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) and which relates only to a Gaming Liquidity Draw Request that was funded out of the Working Capital Account (and not out of the Cash Management Account) shall be referred to as a “Working Capital Account Repayment”. For avoidance of doubt, any payment which does not fully satisfy the definition as a Working Capital Account Repayment shall be deemed to be a general payment of Gross Income from Operations and shall not be treated as a Working Capital Account Repayment.

(e) Borrowers shall obtain from Lockbox Bank its agreement to transfer to the Cash Management Account in immediately available funds by federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in the Lockbox Account once every Business Day throughout the term of the Loan.

59


Draw Request as soon as sufficient funds are available in the Cash Management Account without regard to any requirement that funds be disbursed only on Wednesdays and Fridays and without regard to whether any such funds have previously been “allocated” or “credited” towards the payment of other amounts; provided, however, that no such funds shall be made available to reimburse Borrowers or any Affiliate thereof for any amounts previously paid or advanced, as capital contributions or otherwise, to Gaming Operator in respect of any Gaming Liquidity Draw Requests.

(d) Subject to Section 2.6.3 hereof, the insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrowers from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(e) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender to the Debt, and applied to the Debt in any order, priority and proportions as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion from time to time until the Debt is paid in full, with any amounts remaining being disbursed in accordance with the Net Proceeds Allocation Agreement. Borrowers and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that if all of the Obligations have been satisfied and there are funds remaining in any of the Reserve Funds, all such funds shall be disbursed in accordance with the Net Proceeds Allocation Agreement.

(f) Transfers of Borrowers’ funds from any of the Reserve Funds or any other source to or for the benefit of any First Mezzanine Borrower(s) or any Second Mezzanine Borrower(s) shall constitute distributions to such First Mezzanine Borrower(s), and deemed distributions by such First Mezzanine Borrower(s) to such Second Mezzanine Borrower(s), or by such First Mezzanine Borrower(s) to such Second Mezzanine Borrower(s), as applicable, and, in each case, must comply with the requirements as to distributions in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

Such Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect such Borrower or its Property or the IP, or such Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To the best of such Borrower’s actual knowledge, such Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, license or instrument to which it is a party or by which such Borrower or any of the Properties or the IP are bound. Such Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower or its Property or the IP is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations under the Existing FF&E Leases, (c) obligations under the Loan Documents and the Subordinate Mortgage Loan Documents, (d) obligations pursuant to the Resort Management Agreement, and (e) as to Hotel/Casino Borrower, obligations pursuant to the Liquor Management Agreement.

4.1.6. Title.

To the best of each Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the operation or use of such Borrower’s Property (as currently used) or Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage has been properly recorded in the appropriate records and, together with the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, has created and continues to create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the real property portion of the Properties, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) together with the filing of the required Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and the proper recording of the Assignment of Leases, perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases and the Gaming Assets), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting any of the Properties that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents, except any Lien then being contested pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage.

 

63


4.1.7. Solvency. Borrowers have (a) not entered into the transaction or executed the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets collectively exceeds and will exceed Borrowers’ total aggregate liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. Taking into account the Loan, the aggregate fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets collectively is and will be greater than Borrowers’ probable aggregate liabilities, including the maximum amount of their contingent liabilities on their debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Taking into account the Loan, each Borrower’s assets do not and will not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrowers do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond their respective abilities to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of each Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against any Borrower, BREF HR or Guarantor, and none of any Borrower, BREF HR nor Guarantor has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of any Borrower, BREF HR nor Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and no Borrower has any actual knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, BREF HR or Guarantor.

4.1.8. Full and Accurate Disclosure. To such Borrower’s actual knowledge, no statement of fact made by any Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact or circumstance presently known to such Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender and which will have a material adverse effect on (a) the use and operation of any of the Properties or the IP, (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, or (c) the ability of any Borrower, BREF HR or Guarantor to perform, in all material respects, its obligations under each of the Loan Documents.

4.1.9. No Plan Assets. As of the Closing Date and throughout the term of the Loan (a) no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (b) none of the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (c) no Borrower is nor will any Borrower be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (d) none of the assets of any Borrower constitute “plan assets” of a governmental plan within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 for purposes of any state law provisions regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.

4.1.10. Compliance. Except as set forth in the applicable Zoning Report, such Borrowers and, to the best of such Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry,

 

64


the Land and Improvements (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes and Prescribed Laws. To the best of each Borrower’s actual knowledge after due inquiry, no Borrower is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by any Borrower or, to any Borrower’s actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any of the Properties any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

4.1.11. Financial Information. No Borrower has actual knowledge that the financial data set forth in the audited financial statement of Hard Rock Holdings, LLC for the calendar year ending December 31, 2010 (i) are untrue, incomplete or incorrect in any material respects, (ii) fails to accurately represent in all material respects the financial condition of the Properties (and each Property) as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have not been prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts and reconciled with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances and except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements previously delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, no Borrower has any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to any Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any Property or (a) the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal to Comparable Hotel/Casinos, including, without limitation, comparable food and beverage outlets and other amenities, and/or (b) the operation of the Café Property and the Adjacent Property for a use or uses that is/are consistent with the operation of the Hotel/Casino Property as a hotel and casino at a standard at least equal to Comparable Hotel/Casinos, which use may include, without limitation, expansion of the Hotel/Casino Property, restaurants, retail and residential complexes (the “Permitted Adjacent/Café Uses”).

After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may 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 such Borrower or its Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) no 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 Borrower 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) neither any Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) such Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be

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 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 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, Borrowers’ obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrowers comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

Borrowers shall 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, Borrowers shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrowers shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged (or provide reasonable security for) any Lien or charge against any of the Properties, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to any of the Properties. After prior notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Event of Default or, Subordinate Mortgage Loan Event of Default exists; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which such Borrower 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) neither any Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) such Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay 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; and (f) such Borrower shall 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 any Property (or part thereof 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 Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

5.1.4. Access to the Properties.

5.1.6. Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrowers shall 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.

5.1.7. Perform Loan Documents.

may reasonably require, including, without limitation, if permitted by applicable law, the execution and delivery of all such writings necessary to transfer any Operating Permits with respect to any Property into the name of Lender or its designee after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and

(b) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.

Borrowers shall also keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained, on a cash accounting basis, proper and accurate books and records reflecting the information contained in the Cash Profit and Loss Statements.

Borrowers’ annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (i) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for the prior Fiscal Year, (ii) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender, (iii) with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property, occupancy statistics for such Property, (iv) a schedule reviewed by such independent certified public accountant reconciling Net Operating Income to Net Cash Flow (the “Net Cash Flow Schedule”), which shall itemize all adjustments made to Net Operating Income to arrive at Net Cash Flow deemed material by such independent certified public accountant, (v) a Cash Profit and Loss Statement (as defined below) annualized for the applicable prior Fiscal Year, which Cash Profit and Loss Statement shall be prepared on a cash accounting basis, and (vi) an Officer’s Certificate from each Borrower certifying that each annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of such Borrower and the Properties being reported upon and that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts and reconciled in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a monetary Default or any Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, any Borrower (including a specific statement as to Borrowers’ compliance with Section 4.1.30 hereof), and if a monetary Default or any Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

In addition, such Officer’s Certificate shall also state that the representations and warranties of each Borrower set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof are true and correct as of the date of such certificate, that there are no trade payables outstanding for more than sixty (60) days and that there has been no change in the identity of the Independent Directors or Independent Managers of any Borrower or, if such a change has occurred the identity of any such replacement Independent Director or Independent Manager and a statement that such new Independent Director or Independent Manager satisfies the requirements with respect thereto as set forth in the definition of “Independent Director” or “Independent Manager” herein. On or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar month, Borrowers also will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender, with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property, the most current Smith Travel Research Reports or a locally available equivalent, if any, identified by Lender, then available to Borrowers reflecting market penetration and relevant hotel

 

82


properties competing with the Hotel/Casino Property. In addition, Borrowers shall cause Guarantor to furnish, within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter, certain financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Non-Recourse Guaranty, as applicable.

(d) For each Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, Borrowers shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, that the proposed Annual Budget for 2011 shall be delivered to Lender on or before one hundred (100) days from the Closing Date, and for the initial one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date the budget attached hereto as Exhibit B shall constitute the initial Approved Annual Budget. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s written reasonable approval (each such Annual Budget, as and when approved or deemed approved pursuant to this Section 5.1.11(d), the “Approved Annual Budget”). For avoidance of doubt, any budget, operating budget, capital budget, business plan or any similar item provided for in any Gaming Agreement or other Material Contract shall (i) be subject to Lender’s approval hereunder, (ii) shall be included in the definition of Annual Budget and (iii) shall be in accordance with and subject to any Approved Annual Budget. Lender’s approval of a proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed to have been given if (i) such proposed Annual Budget is submitted to Lender with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET AND IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS, BORROWERS MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE” and Lender does not respond by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating in reasonable detail its objections to such proposed Annual Budget within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt thereof, and (ii) after Lender’s failure to respond to the initial request for approval of such proposed Annual Budget within the time period set forth in the foregoing clause (i), Borrowers shall re-submit such proposed Annual Budget to Lender with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. APPROVAL WILL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS” and Lender does not respond to such second submission of such proposed Annual Budget by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating in reasonable detail its objection thereto within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission. In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by any Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrowers of such objections within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrowers of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise (or cause Resort Manager, Gaming Operator or Liquor Manager, as applicable, to revise) the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves each Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have approved such Annual Budget), the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply;

 

83


provided, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be automatically adjusted (i) to reflect actual increases in Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to each Property, and (ii) to reflect any expenses that must be incurred on an “emergency basis” in order to prevent the occurrence of any harm to any individuals on any Property or any Property itself or the operation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if eighty-five percent (85%) of the aggregate amount of costs set forth in a proposed Annual Budget have been approved by Lender, then until such time as Lender approves the entirety of such proposed Annual Budget (or is deemed to have approved the entirety of such proposed Annual Budget in accordance with this Section 5.1.11(d)), (A) such approved portions of such proposed Annual Budget shall apply and shall constitute an “Approved Annual Budget” with respect only to such portions, (B) the remainder of such proposed Annual Budget shall be automatically adjusted as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and (C) Borrowers and Lender shall diligently continue the process of agreeing to the remaining costs as set forth in this Section 5.1.11(d) for the approval of the Annual Budget as a whole. Borrower shall be entitled to submit a proposed revised Annual Budget (for approval on the same terms and conditions described above) every month for the initial twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and thereafter every calendar quarter.

(e) In the event that any Borrower must incur any Extraordinary Expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget, then such Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval. 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.

(f) 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 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 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 mortgage 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 mortgage

 

84


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 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 mortgage 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.

(g) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.1.11(f) 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 statements referred to in Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrowers reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable Legal Requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrowers under Section 5.1.11(f) 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(g).

(h) If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

(i) 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

 

85


Legal Requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.1.11(f) and (g) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.

(j) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Section 5.1.11 shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a compact disk or DVD, and (iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrowers’ data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files). Borrowers agree that Lender may disclose information regarding the Properties, the IP and Borrowers that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with any Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.

(k) Without limiting the foregoing reporting and approval provisions, Borrowers shall promptly provide to Lender copies of (i) any proposed “Operating Budget”, “Annual Plan” or “Capital Budget” (or any similar document) delivered under any Gaming Agreement, the Resort Management Agreement or the Liquor Management Agreement, together with any proposed revisions or replacements thereof, for Lender’s approval prior to Borrower granting any approval of such items, (ii) any financial reporting information provided under Section 6.4 of the Casino Component Lease, (iii) “Rent Shortfall Notices” and calculations of monthly “Excess Cash” under and as defined in the Casino Component Lease, (iv) any default notices received or delivered under any Material Contract, and (v) draw requests under the Working Capital Note.

5.1.12. Business and Operations. Borrowers will continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by Borrowers as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Properties or the IP. Each Borrower will qualify to do business and will 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 Properties or the IP.

5.1.13. Title to the Properties and the IP. Borrowers will warrant and defend (a) the title to each Property, the Owned IP and any right in and under all IP Agreements with respect to Licensed IP, and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted IP Encumbrances and the asset sales and releases permitted under this Agreement), and (b) the validity and priority of the Liens of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the IP Assignments, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted IP Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for any actual losses, actual costs, actual damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in any Property or the IP, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.

 

86


5.1.14. Costs of Enforcement. In the event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any mortgage prior to or subsequent to the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of any Borrower or any of its Constituent 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.

5.1.15. Estoppel Statement. (a) After request by Lender from time to time, but in no event more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period except in connection with a Securitization, Borrowers shall within ten (10) Business Days furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original principal amount of the Loan and each Component, (ii) the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance and the Note A Outstanding Principal Balance, (iii) the Applicable Interest Rate of each Component, (iv) the date an installment of interest was last paid, (v) any offsets or, to the best of each Borrower’s actual knowledge, defenses to the payment of the Debt, if any, and (vi) that the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrowers and have not been modified or, if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

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

If the correspondence from Borrowers requesting such approval contains the following statement at the top of the first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN SIX (6) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender shall fail to respond to or to expressly deny such request for approval in writing (stating in reasonable detail the reason for such disapproval) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Borrowers’ written request therefor together with the documents and information required above and any other information reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same, then Borrowers shall re-submit such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination and accompanying information to Lender with a request for approval containing the following statement at the top of the first page thereof in capitalized, boldfaced, 14 point type lettering: “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR TO EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender does not respond to such second request by approving such proposed Major Lease, Major Lease amendment or Major Lease termination or stating its objection thereto within five (5) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall not enter into a lease of all or substantially all of any Property without Lender’s prior consent.

To the extent Lender’s prior written approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.1.21, Lender shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt of written request and any and all reasonably required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such request and such written request shall state thereon in bold letters of 14 point font or larger that action is required by Lender. 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. Such security 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.

5.1.22. Operation of the Properties.

(a) Borrowers shall cause the Properties to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Resort Management Agreement. In the event that the Resort Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of the Resort

 

90


Management Agreement, if applicable, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrowers shall promptly enter into a Replacement Resort Management Agreement with the applicable Resort Manager or another Qualified Resort Manager, as applicable.

(b) Each Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Resort Management Agreement to which it is a party and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the Resort Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Resort Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by the Resort Manager under the Resort Management Agreement in a commercially reasonable manner.

In connection with its obligations under this Section 5.1.22 Borrowers shall pay (or cause to be paid) all expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Properties (including, without limitation, all payroll related expenses) as and when due and any failure of Borrower to do so shall at Lender’s election constitute an Event of Default; provided, however, that, subject to Borrowers contest rights described in the next sentence, if the sole cause for Borrowers’ failure to pay such expenses is Lender’s refusal to disburse funds actually on deposit in the Cash Management Account because such expenses are not in accordance with the then Approved Annual Budget, then no Event of Default shall exist hereunder with respect to such payment failures for a period of sixty (60) days from the first date of Lender’s refusal to disburse, so long as Borrowers promptly submit a revised Annual Budget for Lender’s approval in accordance with Section 5.1.11 and from and after such sixty (60) day period expenses are paid in accordance with such revised Approved Annual Budget. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after prior written notice to Lender, any Borrower, at its own expense, may contest in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity of any charge for any Operating Expense, provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such contest shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (c) such contest shall not cause or be likely to cause the Property to fail to meet the operational standards of the Comparable Hotel/Casinos or to fail to be in compliance with all Legal Requirements, (d) Borrowers shall procure

 

91


substitute goods or services to replace the good or services which are the subject of the contested Operating Expense, (e) such Borrower shall promptly upon final resolution of such contest pay any such charge as has been determined to be valid, (f) such Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the contest, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith and (g) if the aggregate amount of Operating Expenses being contested is more than $250,000 Lender’s approval for such contest shall be obtained.

In the event that a Liquor Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Hotel/Casino Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of any Liquor Management Agreement, if applicable, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Hotel/Casino Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Liquor Management Agreement with the Liquor Manager or another Qualified Liquor Manager, as applicable.

Additionally, Borrowers shall, upon and after the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar transfer of the Hotel/Casino Property to Lender, its designee or nominee (a “Lender Successor Owner”), at the request of Lender, cause the Liquor Manager to perform all obligations under the Liquor Management Agreement and Hotel/Casino Borrower shall also perform all obligations under the Liquor Management Agreement (including specifically the obligation to provide employees) for the benefit of the Lender

 

92


Successor Owner and to maintain all applicable Operating Permits necessary for the performance thereof for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) months after the effective date of such transfer to the Lender Successor Owner (which period shall in all events terminate upon Lender Successor Owner’s appointment of a new liquor manager possessing all Governmental Approvals necessary to provide all alcoholic beverage services at the Hotel/Casino Property, subject to Liquor Manager’s and Hotel/Casino Borrower’s obligations to transfer its responsibilities under the Liquor Management Agreement to such new liquor manager and to reasonably cooperate with the transition of the liquor management responsibilities from Liquor Manager to such new liquor manager), either in accordance with the terms of the Liquor Management Agreement, including, but not limited to, the obligation to deposit all revenue derived from liquor sales into an account designated by the Lender Successor Owner, or pursuant to a replacement liquor services management agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and such Liquor Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar transfer of the Hotel/Casino Property to a Lender Successor Owner, at the option of such Lender Successor Owner exercised by written notice to the Liquor Manager, such Lender Successor Owner shall have the right to terminate the Liquor Management Agreement with any Liquor Manager without penalty or termination fee and, in connection with the foregoing, Liquor Manager shall transfer its responsibilities thereunder to a Person selected by such Lender Successor Owner in its sole discretion.

(b) Hotel/Casino Borrower acknowledges that Lender has the right (but not the obligation) to cure any default by Hotel/Casino Borrower under the Casino Component Lease and pursuant to the terms of the Gaming Subordination Agreement any default by LVHR or Gaming Operator under the Gaming Management Agreement. In furtherance of that right, Hotel/Casino Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Lender to so cure any default under the Casino Component Lease and/or the Gaming Management Agreement. Additionally, subject to the Gaming Laws, Hotel/Casino Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of Hotel/Casino Borrower under or with respect to the Casino Component Lease (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable) to the extent that Hotel/Casino Borrower fails to do any of the same within five (5) Business Days following written request by Lender.

(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:

97


repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties and the IP so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties and the IP.

Without the prior consent of Lender, which may be granted or denied in its sole and absolute discretion, and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any Transfer Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, license, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) any Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein or any IP or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of any interest in any Transfer Restricted Party (any of the actions in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), a “Transfer”), other than, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2.10, (A) pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof, (B) the granting of the Subordinate Mortgage to the Subordinate Mortgage Lender, provided that the exercise of any remedies under the Subordinate Mortgage shall be limited by the terms of the Mortgage Standstill Agreement and any exercise of remedies not permitted by or which are in violation of the Mortgage Standstill Agreement shall be deemed to be a prohibited Transfer hereunder, (C) Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted IP Encumbrances, (D) the transfer of indirect ownership interests in any Borrower(s) in order to create one or more new mezzanine borrowers for any New Mezzanine Loan as contemplated hereunder and (E) a BREF Two Permitted Transfer; provided, however, that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A) – (E), such Transfer shall only be permitted hereunder if it does not violate any Legal Requirements, including specifically, but without limitation, any Gaming Laws, or suspend or terminate any liquor license applicable to a Property. Lender will consider a request from Borrower to consent to a Sale of the IP separate and apart from the Properties, provided however, that Lender’s consent to any such Sale may be granted or denied in its sole and absolute discretion.

Provided that (y) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (z) Lender has not elected (to the extent Lender has the right to so elect under Section 6.4 hereof) to apply the Net Proceeds arising from the Casualty giving rise to insurance proceeds under this Section 6.1(a)(iii) to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender under this Section 6.1(a)(iii) shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account and applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.6.2(b) hereof, as applicable, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that in the event that the circumstances in the foregoing clause (y) and/or (z) have occurred (and, in the case of the foregoing clause (y), are continuing), Lender shall apply all proceeds payable to Lender under this Section 6.1(a)(iii) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Lender’s approval of any insurance shall be deemed to have been given if (i) a request for approval, together with a copy of the applicable proposed insurance and any other documents and information reasonably requested by Lender in writing in order to

 

102


adequately review the same, is submitted to Lender with a request for approval set forth in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL AND IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN EIGHT (8) DAYS, BORROWERS MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE”, and Lender does not respond by approving such proposed insurance or stating in reasonable detail its objections to such proposed insurance within eight (8) days of Lender’s receipt thereof, and (ii) after Lender’s failure to respond to the initial request for approval of such proposed insurance within the time period set forth in the foregoing clause (i), Borrowers shall re-submit such request to Lender in a written notice that states clearly (in 14-point type or larger): “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. APPROVAL WILL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS”, and Lender does not respond to such second submission by approving such proposed insurance or stating in reasonable detail its objection thereto within seven (7) days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission.

103


Rating Agency, and shall also have a rating of “A X” or better by AM Best’s. The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that Affiliated FM Insurance Company shall be an acceptable rated insurance company notwithstanding the fact that such company does not carry an S&P rating. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, 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.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall substantially fulfill the requirements contained herein and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only each Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof, and shall only be permitted so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name the applicable Borrower(s) as the insured and Lender as an additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e) All property Policies provided for in Section 6.1 hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone acting for any Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant (including, without limitation, BREF HR with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property), or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender;

(iii) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to their expiration; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) 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 any of the Properties, including, without limitation, the

 

104


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 Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, proof of all property coverages required under Section 6.1(a) hereof 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.

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 give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall 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 hereof, provided, that if (A) Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for purposes of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, (B) Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers, then Borrowers shall not be required to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to Borrowers. It is expressly understood, however, that 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 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. 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 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 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 from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrowers shall, 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

 

105


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 Notes 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. 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 Notes. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof, provided, that if (A) Lender is obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for purposes of Restoration in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof, (B) Lender has received such Net Proceeds, and (C) Lender has not made such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers, then Borrowers shall not be obligated to repair and restore such Property unless and until such Net Proceeds are made available to 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 either of the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt (and all components thereof).

Section 6.4. Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to the Borrower owning such Property upon receipt and Borrowers shall diligently proceed to Restore the applicable Property.

(b) If (i) the Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and/or the costs of completing the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, but (ii) the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Value Threshold, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration of the applicable Property in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4, provided that the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(c)(i)(A), (B), (D), (F), (G) and (H) hereof are met.

(c) If (i) the Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold and/or the costs of completing the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, and (ii) the Net Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Restoration Value Threshold, the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (A) apply the Net Proceeds to the Debt in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4(d) hereof, or (B) make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration of such Property in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean:

 

106


(i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x) hereof as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(a) above, the Net Proceeds shall be made available to the applicable Borrower for Restoration of its Property upon the approval of Lender in its reasonable discretion that the following conditions are met:

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(B)(1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on such Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting such Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

(C) Intentionally Deleted;

(D) the applicable Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs, (subject to delays in the claims adjustments process outside the control of Borrowers)) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will be incurred with respect to such Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the aggregate amount of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) hereof, if applicable, and (3) other funds of Borrowers;

(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (as may be extended), (2) with respect to the Hotel/Casino Property, the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of the Casino Component Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (4) the expiration of the insured period provided by the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) hereof;

 

107


(G) such Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;

(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by the applicable Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to any portion of such Property or the related Improvements;

(J) Lender shall be satisfied that the Debt Yield, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, calculated based on the most recent financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.11 hereof prior to such Casualty or Condemnation;

(K) Lender shall be satisfied that the Loan-to-Value Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than the Loan-to-Value-Ratio immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation;

(L) the applicable Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by such Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration of such Property, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; and

(M) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrowers with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration of such Property.

(ii) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(c), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, the applicable Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the affected Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of

 

108


Lender by the Title Company, except for any Lien then being contested pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 3.6(b) of the Mortgage.

(iii) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, all plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable approval by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration the cost of which is greater than $750,000, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrowers.

(iv) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, in no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred for work upon receipt by Lender of reasonably satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(c), be less than the amount actually held back by the applicable Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(c) and that all approvals necessary to permit the re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, such contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers

 

109


(if the value of the applicable contract exceeds $175,000.00) and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company, and Lender receives an endorsement to the applicable Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(vi) In the event the Net Proceeds are equal to or exceed the Restoration Threshold, if at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the good faith opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(c) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.

(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(c), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be applied by Lender to repayment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.3(c) hereof.

(d) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.3(c) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Lender is obligated under this Agreement to disburse the Net Proceeds to Borrowers for Restoration, and if Lender fails to do so, then any obligation of Borrowers to restore or repair such Property under the Loan Documents shall not apply until such Net Proceeds have been disbursed to Borrowers.

(e) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to any Property, or other transfer of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Property and all proceeds payable

 

110


thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1. Working Capital Reserve Fund.

7.1.1. Deposits to Working Capital Reserve Account. As of the date hereof, Borrowers have deposited with Lender the amount of [$30,000,000.00] to be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan and to be applied at Borrowers’ direction in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.1. So long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, all amounts described in Section 2.6.2(h) shall also be deposited into the Working Capital Account. All amounts so deposited with respect to working capital with Lender shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Working Capital Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amount is held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Working Capital Reserve Account”.

7.1.2. Withdrawals from Working Capital Reserve Account. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall have the right from time to time to request a disbursement of funds from the Working Capital Reserve Account for (i) a $5,000,000 reserve for the settlement of claims arising out of the Mandown Contract and $3,500,000 to be used for immediate payroll expenses after the Closing Date, (ii) Approved Capital Expenditures (which may include the build out of white boxes, the repositioning of existing food and beverage outlets located at any of the Properties and/or the repositioning of any common areas spaces located at any of the Properties), all as and to the extent approved by Lender, (iii) Lender approved budgeted Extraordinary Expenses and (iv) for payment of Gaming Liquidity Draw Requests; provided, however, that in the event that claims relating to the Mandown Contract are settled for less than the $5,000,000 reserve established above, then such remaining amounts may be used for any of the purposes set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) (on the same terms and conditions described therein). Within thirty (30) days following the date of any withdrawal from the Working Capital Reserve Account, Borrowers shall provide an accounting to Lender of all funds so withdrawn from the Working Capital Reserve Account and the application thereof, which certification shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such accounting represents a true, correct and complete accounting of the application of such funds. Without limiting any other provisions set forth herein, in the event Borrowers shall fail to provide any such accounting (and accompanying Officer’s Certificate) or in the event such accounting shall disclose that Borrowers have failed to apply such funds to permitted costs in accordance with this Section 7.1, Borrowers shall not be entitled to any further advances from the Working Capital Reserve Account if, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from Lender of any such failure, Borrowers do not remedy the same. With respect to any requested disbursements relating to Capital Expenditures, Borrowers shall also satisfy Section 7.3.2.

Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the

 

111


next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least fifteen (15) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts to be deposited pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, being hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. To the extent sufficient amounts have been deposited into the Tax and Insurance Fund with Lender in compliance with this Section 7.2, it shall not be an Event of Default if the Insurance Premiums and/or the Taxes are not paid due to Lender’s failure to apply such amounts to the payment of the Insurance Premiums and the Taxes on the respective dates on which each are due provided that Borrowers have not impeded Lender’s attempt to pay such Insurance Premiums or Taxes. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrowers. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of each of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or fifteen (15) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Section 7.3. Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

7.3.1. Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Gross Income from Operations of the Hotel/Casino Property for the immediately preceding calendar month, to be applied in accordance with this Agreement to the costs of FF&E Expenditures and FF&E Expenditures Work required to be made to the Hotel/Casino Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Additionally, in the event Borrowers shall request and Lender shall approve the same in writing in its discretion, Borrower shall be entitled to fund specific Approved Capital Expenditures from the Replacement Reserve upon satisfaction of all other conditions set forth herein (it being acknowledged that in the instance in which Lender shall so approve the funding of a certain or certain Approved Capital Expenditures from the Replacement Reserve Fund, such expenses shall be deemed to be Replacements for the purposes of determining Borrowers’ compliance with the provisions of Section 7.3.2 below). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’ “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the

 

112


account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’ “Replacement Reserve Account”.

7.3.2. Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Fund as requested by Borrowers and reasonably approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period and of no less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per disbursement (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Replacement Reserve Account at such time is less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000)), upon delivery by Borrowers of Lender’s or Servicer’s standard form of draw request specifying the Replacements to be paid for on a Property-by-Property basis and accompanied by copies of paid invoices for or invoices to be paid with the amounts requested and, if required by Lender for requests in excess of One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) for which reimbursement is sought. Lender shall cause any disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Fund to be made within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Borrowers’ request and all required documentation provided that such request is reasonably approved by Lender.

7.3.3. Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrowers from their obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

Section 7.4. Seasonality Reserve.

7.4.1. Deposits into Seasonality Reserve Account. Borrowers may request that funds be deposited on any Payment Date into a reserve account under the sole dominion and control of Lender for the payment of future Operating Expenses in accordance with the then Approved Annual Budget (such funds, the “Seasonality Reserve Fund” and the account in which such funds are held, the “Seasonality Reserve Account”). Borrowers shall deliver any such request to Lender, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days prior to any Payment Date, and shall include with such request a detailed description of the amount of funds requested, proposed future uses of such funds, and expected timing of future disbursements (which disbursements shall be permitted only in accordance with the then Approved Annual Budget). Lender shall approve or disapprove of such requested deposits into the Seasonality Reserve Account in its sole and absolute discretion and shall in no event be deemed to have approved any such request, nor shall the approval of a request in one month be deemed any approval of any subsequent requests.

7.4.2. Withdrawals From the Seasonality Reserve Account. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to request disbursements from the Seasonality Reserve Fund on any Payment Date for the payment of Operating Expenses in accordance with the applicable monthly Operating Expense Request.

 

113


Borrower shall deliver a draw request specifying the Operating Expenses to be paid for on an itemized basis and accompanied by copies of paid invoices or invoices to be paid with the amounts requested. Lender shall be entitled to approve or disapprove of any requested disbursement in its sole and absolute discretion and shall in no event be deemed to have approved any such request, nor shall the approval of a request in one month be deemed any approval of any subsequent requests.

7.4.3. Termination of Seasonality Reserve. In the event that at any time Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the Seasonality Reserve should be terminated or that the amounts on deposit therein should be disbursed (which may be for any or no reason, including Lender’s determination that the PIK Condition has not been satisfied), then provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, all amounts on deposit in the Seasonality Reserve Account shall be released and applied in accordance with the Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities.

Section 7.5. 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. 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 2.4.3 hereof which Section 2.4.3 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. Any amount remaining in any of the Reserve Funds after the Obligations have been satisfied shall be disbursed in accordance with the Repayment/Prepayment Payment Priorities. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

(b) 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.

(c) 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

 

114


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, 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 7.5. 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.

(d) 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 8.2. Remedies.

(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 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 Properties, the IP and any other collateral and the Mortgage 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 Properties and the IP, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any particular Property or to the IP for the satisfaction of any of the obligations in preference or priority to any other Property or the IP, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, any Property, the IP or any part of any thereof, in its absolute discretion in

 

120


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 the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage 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 the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, and/or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties, the IP and any other collateral shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage 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 either or both of the Notes and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages 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 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,

 

121


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 any Property, the IP 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 to 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, declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on one or both of the Notes, 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.

(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may cause any construction occurring at the Property to be completed and may enter upon the Property and construct, equip and complete any and all improvements in accordance with the related plans and specifications, with such changes therein as Lender may, from time to time, and in its sole and absolute discretion, deem appropriate. In connection with any construction that may undertaken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, Lender may:

(i) use any funds of Borrowers, including any balance which may be held by Lender as security or in escrow, including, without limitation, any funds on deposit in the Working Capital Reserve Account, the Casino Account and any and all other Reserves;

(ii) draw down on any Letter of Credit then held by Lender and use the proceeds thereof;

(iii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects, engineers and the like, or terminate the same and employ others;

(iv) employ security watchmen to protect the Properties;

(v) make such additions, changes and corrections in the plans and Specifications as shall, in the judgment of Lender, be necessary or desirable;

(vi) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted for or purchased by Borrowers, if appropriate, or dispose of the same as Lender sees fit in accordance with applicable law;

 

122


(vii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, execute all applications and certificates on behalf of Borrowers which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirement or contract documents or agreements;

(viii) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims which are or may be Liens against any of the Properties, or may be necessary for the completion of such construction or the clearance of title to any of the Properties, including, without limitation, all taxes and assessments;

(ix) complete the marketing and leasing of leasable space in all or any portion of the Properties, enter into new leases and occupancy agreements at any of the Properties, and modify or amend existing leases and occupancy agreements, all as Lender shall deem to be necessary or desirable;

(x) to the extent permitted by applicable law, prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the completion of the construction of the applicable improvements or in any other way affecting any of the Properties and take such action and require such performance as Lender deems necessary under any payment and performance bonds; and

(xi) to the extent permitted by applicable law, take such other action hereunder, or refrain from acting hereunder, as Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section 8.2.

All payments made or liabilities incurred by Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be deemed advances made to Borrowers under this Agreement and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other applicable Loan Documents. In the event Lender takes possession of any Property and assumes control of such construction as aforesaid, Lender shall not be obligated to continue such construction longer than Lender shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further payments for the account of Borrowers, whether or not the construction at issue shall have been completed.

(h) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or otherwise upon the request of any Borrower or at any time at which Lender shall determine that the failure by or inability of any Borrower to pay or perform any obligations hereunder or any material obligations with respect to the ownership and operation of any Property (including, specifically, any failure to pay operating expenses at the Properties) will result in an adverse effect on Lender’s collateral or the performance of any Property, then without notice to or demand upon any Borrower or any other Person, and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Lender may have, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Borrowers, and shall have the right to enter upon the Properties for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Properties as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Lender shall

 

123


elect to pay any sum due with reference to the Properties, Lender may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title claim, Lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Without limiting any other provisions set forth herein, Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.2(h), including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Lender, except as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All sums paid by Lender pursuant to this Section 8.2(h) shall immediately upon the advance thereof be added to the Note A Outstanding Principal Balance (or if the same has been paid in full the Note B Outstanding Principal Balance) and shall thereafter accrue interest in accordance with the terms hereof. The failure to repay any amounts advanced by Lender under this Section 8.2(h) within three (3) Business Days of the date of such advance shall in and of itself constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

ARTICLE IX.

124


prospective investors (including, without limitation, any purchaser of all or any portion of the Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan and/or the Second 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 and/or the IP 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;

(vi) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace any original note or modify any original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan or any Component (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 or any Component), and

 

125


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 (i) such new notes or modified note will not change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in either of the Notes unless the varying interest rates shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Notes, (ii) 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 Borrowers, BREF HR or Guarantors or any of their respective Constituent Members, or (iii) such amendments to the Loan Documents will not materially increase Borrowers’ 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, any Borrower, any First Mezzanine Borrower, any Second Mezzanine Borrower, BREF HR, the Gaming Operator, Resort Manager, the Liquor Manager and/or the Loan (including each of the Components) 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 Borrower, any First Mezzanine Borrower, any Second Mezzanine Borrower, BREF HR, Guarantor, the Loan (including each of the Components), any Property and/or the IP in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.

(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 its legal counsel and its 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.

126


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 the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder(s) of the Notes 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 Borrowers, Borrowers’ Affiliates, Guarantors, BREF HR, the Properties, the IP, the Resort Manager, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan (including each of the Components), 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, 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 Borrowers, Borrowers’

 

127


Affiliates, Guarantors, BREF HR, the Properties, the IP, the Resort Manager, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan (including each of the Components), 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 Borrower, 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 Borrowers, Borrowers’ Affiliates, Guarantors, BREF HR, the Properties, the IP, the Resort Manager, the Liquor Manager, the Gaming Operator and/or the Loan (including any of the Components), or the omission or alleged omission to state in any such Disclosure Document a material fact in any Borrower’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 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 Borrower, 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

 

128


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, as applicable (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 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

 

129


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 Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in any Property, the Rents, the IP or any other 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 its Property, in its Rents, in the IP and in any other collateral given by it to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, the Non-Recourse 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) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against any Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against any Property or the IP; or (g) 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)

(x) if Lender or any Affiliate thereof shall succeed to the interest of Hotel/Casino Borrower under the Casino Component Lease following a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer, any actual loss, cost, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) suffered by Lender or such Affiliate as a result of: (A) any act, omission, neglect or default of Hotel/Casino Borrower under the Casino Component Lease, (B) any claim, defense, counterclaim or offset which the Gaming Operator may have under the Casino Component Lease, (C) any obligation to make any payment to the Gaming Operator under the Casino Component Lease which was required to be made by or on behalf of Hotel/Casino Borrower prior to the time Lender or such Affiliate succeeded to Hotel/Casino Borrower’s interest under the Casino Component Lease, (D) any monies deposited with Hotel/Casino Borrower under the Casino Component Lease, except to the extent such monies are actually received by Lender or such Affiliate, (E) any obligation to complete or permit the construction of any improvements under the Casino Component Lease arising while Hotel/Casino Borrower was the landlord under the Casino Component Lease, and/or (F) any default by Hotel/Casino Borrower under the Casino Component Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods;

(b) Lender shall endeavor in good faith (without liability for failure to do so) to provide Borrowers with notification of any change in the Person servicing the Loan; provided that it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by Lender that it shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder if due to such failure to provide notification Borrowers send any payments required to be made hereunder to Lender or any predecessor Person servicing the Loan.

Section 9.8. Restructuring of Loan.

136


New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately following such restructuring, shall, in the aggregate, equal the weighted average spread for all of the Reduced Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, immediately prior to the restructuring, and (iii) the debt service payments on the Reduced Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, and any New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, as calculated immediately following such restructuring, shall equal the aggregate debt service payments which would have been payable under the Reduced Acquisition Loan, the Construction Loan, the First Mezzanine Loan, the Second Mezzanine Loan, and any previously existing New Mezzanine Loan(s), if any, had the restructuring not occurred. Borrowers shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and/or any of the Components, the First Mezzanine Loan and/or the Second Mezzanine Loan and/or to create and/or restructure one or more New Mezzanine Loan(s), if applicable, and shall, upon fifteen (15) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents, including, without limitation, in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement and a mezzanine cash management agreement, (B) cause Borrowers’ counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (C) create such a bankruptcy remote borrower under each New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if requested by Lender. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.8. In the event any Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrowers with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS”, 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 such transactions, each Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if any Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such second notice. It shall be an Event of Default if any Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.8 after the expiration of five (5) Business Days after the second notice thereof.

142

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 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; (vi) intentionally deleted; (vii) dealing with any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender hereunder; (viii) 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 or any other security given for the Loan; and (ix) 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 or the IP 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

 

143


Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in the event that (A) Lender employs counsel to collect the Debt, protect or foreclose the Mortgage or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (B) Lender has sold or transferred any interests in either of the Notes, 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 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 and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits 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, either of the Notes 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

 

144


proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(d) The benefits of this Agreement shall not inure to any third party. 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 Person.

(e) Observation, inspection and approvals by Lender of any plans and specification, any construction at the Property and/or the workmanship and materials used therein shall impose no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on Lender and no Borrower, or other interested Person, under any circumstances, shall be entitled to rely upon such inspections and approvals by Lender for any reason.

In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any equitable right otherwise available to such Borrower which would require the separate sale of any Property and/or the IP or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Property and/or the IP before proceeding against any other Property and/or the IP; and further in the event of such foreclosure, each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties and the IP.

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.

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 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.

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 IX (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 Property, IP or other assets owned by such Funding Borrower (whether by foreclosure, deed 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 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 IX were computed assuming the Loan is or has been fully advanced, and that each amount shown in Schedule IX shall be re-computed (or

 

154


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.

Section 15.3. Defaulting Borrower. If a Borrower (a “Defaulting Borrower”) shall have failed to make a Reimbursement Contribution as hereinabove provided, after the later to occur of (a) payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all of all Borrowers’ other obligations to Lender and payment in full by the Mezzanine Borrowers of the Mezzanine Loans or (b) the date which is 366 days after the payment in full of the Loan, the Funding Borrower to whom such Reimbursement Contribution is owed shall be subrogated to the rights of Lender against such Defaulting Borrower, including the right to receive a portion of such Defaulting Borrower’s Property, IP or assets in an amount equal to the Reimbursement Contribution payment required hereunder that such Defaulting Borrower failed to make; provided, however, if Lender returns any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a Borrower, all other Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Lender all such amounts returned, together with interest at the Default Rate accruing from and after the date on which such amounts were returned. For avoidance of doubt, until such time as the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans are indefeasibly paid in full and satisfied, each of the Borrowers hereby subjects and subordinates to payment of the Loan to the Lender and to payment of distributions to its Member (in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement) any and all rights of such Borrower under this Article XV, including its right to Reimbursement Contribution, and waives any right of subrogation such Funding Borrower may have with respect thereto.

Section 15.4. Maximum Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable under this Article XV with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.

Section 15.5. Applicable Contributions. In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from Defaulting Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contributions made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution.

By e-mail dated February 9, 2011, GNA Talent indicated that if it is not paid for the January 1 and February 5 Tiesto performances that it would direct its “legal team” to “enforce our agreement.” GNA sent a demand letter on February 17, 2011 indicating that if payment wasn’t made, Tiesto would not appear for his scheduled March 5, 2011 performance. Please also see below Potential for Litigation – The Joint Naming Rights/GNA Talent / Tiesto matter.

8. Pacific Custom Pools, Inc. Contractor that constructed new pools and did certain remodeling work on existing pools has sought to recover interest on amounts paid for work performed on the existing pools between the time the work was performed and payment was received.

Potential for Litigation

1. Colorado IP Licensee. A term sheet was entered into with a prospective licensee in August 2010 to convert a hotel/casino in Central City, Colorado to a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. If this matter does not proceed to completion, this matter is ripe for litigation. In a letter dated February 14, 2011, the prospective licensee stated that it remains on track for the planned July 4th grand opening and that it has begun work on the casino.

2. Mandown – Vanity Nightclub Matter. Potential for litigation following Hard Rock’s failure to make payments claimed to be owed to Mandown under a nightclub participation agreement. In addition, in a letter dated February 7, 2011, counsel for Mandown expressed concerns about the management team that runs the nightclub.

3. The Joint Naming Rights.

AEG Live – On December 22, 2006, a Hard Rock predecessor entered into an agreement with AEG Live LLC related to, among other things, naming rights for The Joint. On April 15, 2009, Hard Rock entered into a naming rights agreement with Rogue related to The Joint and other venues at the hotel/casino and on January 8, 2010 Hard Rock entered into a naming rights agreement with Skullcandy related to the stage in The Joint and other venues at the hotel/casino. There is a potential for AEG Live to attempt to assert claims in connection with its agreement related to the Joint naming rights, including claims that it is owed sums as a result of the above-referenced agreements.

GNA Talent/Tiesto – On December 30, 2010, Hard Rock entered into an agreement with GNA Talent, LLC covering performances by the disc jockey known as Tiesto at the property. The agreement also covered certain matters related to naming rights at the Joint. Hard Rock’s agreement with AEG Live also covers naming rights for the Joint and, as a result, creates a potential for claims or litigation.

AEG – Tiesto Performances – Potential for claims or litigation arising from the GNA Talent / Tiesto appearances being removed from the framework of the Hard Rock – AEG contract and GNA Talent and Tiesto utilizing third-party websites for direct ticket sales.

8. Body English Chandelier matter

In November 2009, Cory McCormack, then the Executive Director of Nightlife, and his staff decided to create a contest to promote interest for New Years Eve 2009, which was the last day of operations for Body English nightclub. Since Vanity was also opening on NYE 2009 they were concerned that Body English’s performance would suffer. The promotion they developed without authorization from senior management was to award the chandelier (identified in marketing materials as valued at $250,000) to the customer with the night’s highest tab; that person turned out to be Neil Robertson.
