(f) Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify Lender by written notice of any prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m., Los Angeles, CA time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another credit facility or the closing of a securities offering or acquisition or sale, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Lender on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.06(d), no portion of any Investing Member’s capital contribution may be repaid to such Investing Member (if any portion is repaid at all) and any prepayments to such Investing Member pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.06(d) hereof shall be held in escrow by the Lender with a third-party escrowee selected by the Lender but reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (and at Borrower’s expense) until after any one (at Lender’s option) of the following events has occurred (i) the Original Maturity Date, (ii) such Investing Member’s I-829 Petition has been adjudicated or (iii) the parties shall reasonably agree that such Investing Member prepayment is permitted by the regulations promulgated under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program or other clear guidance from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

(h) Borrower agrees to cause any Qualified Additional Financing lender funding loans with proceeds from an EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program to include a provision in the loan documents restricting prepayment unless one of the following events has occurred: (i) the stated maturity date for such loan, (ii) the I-829 Petition of the investment member whose contributions are attributable to the loan being prepaid has been adjudicated or (iii) the parties to such financing shall reasonably agree that the prepayment of the loan attributable to such investing member is permitted by the regulations promulgated under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program or other clear guidance from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

SECTION 2.07 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.08 Payments. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Sections 2.09 or 10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., Los Angeles, CA time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Lender by check to Lender’s office at c/o American Dream Fund, LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or by wire transfer in immediately available funds. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as expressly specified otherwise. To the extent not previously paid, the Loan, including the unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, as may be extended.

SECTION 2.09 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Unless required by applicable Law (as determined in good faith by the applicable withholding agent), any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Recipient shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable by Borrower to any Recipient under any of the Loan Documents, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09) have been made, such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall, without duplication of additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(a), indemnify each Recipient (each, a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.09) imposed on such Tax Indemnitee by any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, regardless of whether such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed, asserted or otherwise determined to be payable by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate, prepared in good faith, as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by the Tax Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes by Borrower that Borrower is required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.09, Borrower shall deliver to the applicable Recipient the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Recipient.

(e) Status of Lenders. Each Recipient shall, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, provide Borrower with any documentation prescribed by Law, or reasonably requested by Borrower, certifying as to any entitlement of such Recipient to an exemption from, or reduction in, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Recipient under the Loan Documents. Each such Recipient shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation (including any specific documentation referenced below in this Section 2.09(e)) expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, deliver promptly to Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by Borrower) or promptly notify Borrower in writing if such Recipient is not legally eligible to deliver such documentation under applicable Law.

-40-

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)

Each Recipient that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii)

Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit J (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by Borrower, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms),

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or is a Foreign Lender that has transferred its beneficial ownership to a participant), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)), or

(V) two copies of any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Foreign

-41-

Lender under the Loan Documents, duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii)

If a payment made to any Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) and 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) and such Recipient is entitled to an exemption from such withholding, such Recipient shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Recipient has complied with its obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Recipient shall not be required to deliver any form that such Recipient is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09, then such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.09 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Tax Indemnitee and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Tax Indemnitee); provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Tax Indemnitee in the event such Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other person.

(g) Defined term. For purposes of this Section 2.09, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.10 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Recipient requires Borrower to pay any additional amount to such Recipient or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Recipient pursuant to Section 2.09, then such Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Recipient, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Recipient to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Recipient. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Recipient in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Recipient to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-42-

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Recipient or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Recipient pursuant to Section 2.09 or if any Recipient is a Disqualified Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Recipient, require such Recipient to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that:

(i) such Recipient shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.09, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law, including any Gaming Laws.

A Recipient shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Recipient or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.11 Net Cash Proceeds from Casualty Events.

(a) This Section 2.11, which shall apply only at such time as neither the First Lien Financing nor any Senior Qualified Additional Financing is then outstanding, shall apply to all Net Cash Proceeds from Casualty Events received by Borrower in excess of $5,000,000 arising from and after the Opening Date from any particular Casualty Event related to the Project. Any such Net Cash Proceeds (other than those described in subsection (b) below) shall be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Sections 2.06 and 2.08, unless each of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by Lender as required pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or 2.11(d), as the case may be, within 90 Business Days (or, in the case of such Net Cash Proceeds described in Section 2.11(d), 120 Business Days) after Borrower’s receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, in which event such amounts shall be applied to the repair or restoration of the Project in accordance with the terms of such Sections:

(i) the Borrower certifies (and the Construction Consultant, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, acknowledges that such certification is reasonable), that the damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain giving rise to such Net Cash Proceeds does not constitute the destruction of all or substantially all of the Project;

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than a Default or an Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(c), 8.01(d) or 8.01(e), in each case resulting solely from such Casualty Event or Event of Eminent Domain) at the time of such damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain and after giving effect to any proposed repair and restoration, no Event of Default would reasonably be expected to result from such damage or destruction or proposed repair and restoration or Event of Eminent Domain;

-43-

(iii) the Borrower certifies (and the Construction Consultant, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, acknowledges that such certification is reasonable), that repair or restoration of the Project to a condition substantially similar to the condition of the Project immediately prior to the event or events to which the relevant Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, as the case may be, relate, is technically and economically feasible within an 18-month period after receipt of any such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower to make such repairs and restorations;

(iv) the Borrower delivers to Lender and the Construction Consultant a plan describing in reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected and the anticipated costs and schedule associated therewith (the “Repair Plan”), and the Construction Consultant, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, acknowledges that the Repair Plan is achievable;

(v) the Borrower certifies that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower to make all payments on Indebtedness which will become due during and following the repair period and prior to the completion of such repairs or restoration;

(vi) the Borrower reasonably expects it to obtain any Permit necessary to proceed with the repair and restoration of the Project; and

(vii) the proposed repair or restoration is not prohibited by any of the other Financing Agreements.

(b) (i) Borrower shall have the right to use up to an amount of $25,000,000 of Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by Borrower for each single loss or series of related losses (excluding amounts received on account thereof and applied (or to be applied) as payments to the Loan or other Indebtedness), to repair, restore and/or replace the Property with respect to which such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds relate and Sections 2.06 and 2.11 (other than this Section 2.11(b)(i)) shall not apply to such proceeds.

(ii) If, subject to Section 2.11(b)(i), there shall occur any damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by Borrower for any single loss or series of related losses not in excess of $25,000,000 are payable (excluding amounts received on account thereof and applied (or to be applied) as payments to the Loans or other Indebtedness), such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be held by Lender in the Funding Account and released by Lender to Borrower in amounts from time to time necessary to make payments for work undertaken towards repair, restoration or reconstruction necessitated by such event(s), upon presentation of documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender supporting such requested payments.

(c) Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2.11(a) have been waived by Lender, or have been satisfied, if there shall occur any Casualty Event or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by Borrower for any single loss or series of related losses in excess of $25,000,000 (excluding amounts received on account thereof and applied (or to be applied) as payments to the Loans or other Indebtedness) but not in excess of $50,000,000 (excluding amounts received on account thereof and applied (or to be applied) as payments to the Loans or other Indebtedness), are payable, such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by Borrower shall be held by Lender in the Funding Account and released by Lender to Borrower in accordance with subsection (e) below.

-44-

(d) Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2.11(a) above have been waived by Lender, or have been satisfied, if there shall occur any damage, destruction or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by Borrower for any single loss or series of related losses in excess of $50,000,000 are payable (excluding amounts received on account thereof and applied (or to be applied) as payments to the Loans or other Indebtedness), such Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be held by Lender in the Funding Account and released by Lender to Borrower in accordance with subsection (e) below.

(e) Except as provided in Section 2.11(b), amounts which are to be applied to repair or restoration of the Project pursuant to this Section 2.11 or to fund actual or contemplated debt service costs with respect to Indebtedness under the Financing Agreements shall be disbursed by Lender from the Funding Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11(e). Lender shall release Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds for application toward such repairs or restoration or debt service, conditioned upon the Borrower’s delivery to Lender of a certificate from the Borrower (I) describing in reasonable detail (x) the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected with such release and certifying that such repairs or restoration are materially consistent with, and shall be undertaken in accordance with, the Repair Plan or (y) the debt service costs to be funded with such release (including by deposit into reserve accounts established under the Disbursement Agreement), (II) stating the cost of such repairs or restoration, which shall be no less than the amount of Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds requested in such release, and that such requested release amount will be applied to the cost thereof, (III) stating that the aggregate amount requested in respect of such repairs or restoration and the debt service costs to be funded (including by deposit to reserve accounts) (when added to any other Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by Borrower) or funds otherwise made available to Borrower) does not exceed the cost of such repairs or restoration (including debt service costs) and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to Borrower) to complete such repair or restoration and (IV) stating that neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than a Default or an Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(c) 8.01(d) or 8.01(e), in each case resulting solely from such damage or destruction or Event of Eminent Domain (provided that in any event no Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing).

(f) The Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain such additional title insurance, title insurance endorsements, mechanic’s lien waivers, certificates, opinions or other matters as may reasonably be requested by Lender as necessary or appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration of the Project or to preserve or protect Lender’s interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, so long as either the First Lien Financing or any Senior Qualified Additional Financing is then outstanding, Borrower will be obligated solely to comply with the provisions of such agreement pertaining to the application of Net Cash Proceeds from Casualty Events; provided, however, that once the First Lien Financing and any Senior Qualified Additional Financing are no longer outstanding, Borrower must comply with the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the application of Net Cash Proceeds from Casualty Events.

There is no current, and Borrower is aware of no proposed or pending, Tax assessments, deficiencies, audits or other claims against Borrower that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) There are no Liens for Taxes on any of the properties of Borrower other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02.

SECTION 3.14 No Material Misstatements. No statement or information (excluding projections, forward-looking statements, estimates, pro forma financial information (as such pro forma financial information relates to future events or forward-looking circumstances) and information of a general, economic or industry nature) contained in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of Lender dated as of July 3, 2012, or in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, when taken as a whole and as updated from time to time (but without any obligation on behalf of Borrower to provide such update, except expressly as set forth herein), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.

-63-

(c) Lender may (but shall not be required to) at Borrower’s expense, at any time that Lender has a reasonable basis to believe that (i) a Release of Hazardous Materials has occurred at, on or under any Real Property owned in fee by the Borrower or (ii) there has been a violation of Environmental Law in connection with any Real Property owned in fee by the Borrower that, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (A) retain an independent professional consultant to review any environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports relating to Hazardous Materials prepared by or for the First Lien Loan Parties or any of them, (B) conduct its own investigation of such Real Property owned in fee by the Borrower in respect of such Release (if any) or (C) conduct a further Phase I investigation, asbestos survey, or other environmental assessment of such Real Property owned in fee by the Borrower.

Any such investigation shall be conducted, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Borrower and Lender, during normal business hours and shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations at such Real Property or the Project or cause any damage or loss to any property at such Real Property or the Project. Any report of any investigation conducted at the request of Lender pursuant to this Section 5.09 will be obtained and shall be used by Lender solely for the purposes of Lender’s internal credit decisions, to monitor and police the Loan and to protect Lender’s security interests, if any, created by the Loan Documents, and except as may be required by applicable law and subject to any independent legal obligations of the independent professional consultant, Lender shall not confer with, make filings to or otherwise correspond with any Governmental Authority with respect to or relating to such sampling or investigation without the reasonable consent of, or participation by, Borrower; provided, however, should any such investigation conducted at the request of Lender confirm a Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any Real Property owned in fee by the Borrower, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense without prejudice to Borrower’s right to assert any claims against any Governmental Authority or other Person, if and to the extent required under Environmental Law, undertake to remediate such Release and shall otherwise comply with any Environmental Law with respect to such Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be able to exercise any of its rights in respect of this Section 5.09(c) for so long as any First Lien Financing remains outstanding.

(d) Upon request, deliver or make available to Lender (i) as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt thereof, copies in Borrower’s possession or control of all non-privileged portions of environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports not previously made available to Lender, whether prepared by personnel of Borrower or by independent consultants, Governmental Authorities or any other Persons, with respect to the Real Property or with respect to any Environmental Claims, (ii) reasonably promptly upon the occurrence thereof, written notice describing in reasonable detail (A) any Release required to be reported to any Governmental Authority under any Environmental

-64-

Laws that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (B) any remedial action taken by any Person in response to (1) any Release of Hazardous Materials which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (2) any Environmental Claims against Borrower that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) as soon as practicable following the sending or receipt thereof by Borrower, a copy of any and all material written communications with any third parties with respect to (A) any Environmental Claims that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (B) any Release required to be reported to any Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (C) any request for information from any Governmental Authority stating that such Governmental Authority is investigating whether Borrower may be potentially responsible under CERCLA or any analogous Environmental Law or may otherwise have liability under any Environmental Law that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) with reasonable promptness, such other documents and information as from time to time may be reasonably requested by Lender regarding any matters disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.09(d) or otherwise affecting the Mortgaged Property under any Environmental Law that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.10 [Reserved].

SECTION 5.11 Security Interests; Further Assurances. From time to time execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or documents, and take all such actions, as Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the continued validity, perfection and priority of the Lien of Lender on the Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds or products thereof which do not constitute Excluded Real Property or other property with respect to which the Loan Documents do not require Lender to have a security interest) pursuant hereto or thereto; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Lender acknowledges that its priority with respect to the Collateral may be subordinated with respect to Indebtedness permitted under this Agreement that is secured by a Lien on the Mortgaged Property that is senior to the Lien of Lender on the Mortgaged Property (including Indebtedness under the First Lien Financing and any Senior Qualified Additional Financing) (and Lender agrees to execute additional documents as necessary to reflect this priority of Liens in accordance with this Agreement). Upon the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that Lender may be required to obtain from Borrower for such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization. In the event that a Lien not otherwise permitted under this Agreement shall encumber the Mortgaged Property, any other item of Collateral or any portion thereof (or a mechanic’s or materialmen’s claim of lien shall be filed or otherwise asserted against the Mortgaged Property, any other item of Collateral or any portion thereof), Borrower shall promptly discharge or cause to be discharged by payment to the lienor or lien claimant or promptly secure removal by bonding or deposit with the county clerk or otherwise or, at Lender’s option, and if obtainable promptly obtain title insurance against, any such Lien or mechanics’ or materialmen’s claims of lien filed or otherwise asserted against the Mortgaged Property or such other item of Collateral or any portion thereof within 30 days after the date of notice thereof (which period Lender may extend in its sole discretion so long as Borrower is diligently pursuing such actions); provided, that the provisions of this Section 5.11 (and compliance therewith) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 6.02. Borrower shall fully preserve the Lien and the priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the SLS Las Vegas Mortgage without cost or expense to Lender. If Borrower fails to promptly discharge, remove or bond off any Lien on the Collateral which is not a Permitted Lien and which is not being contested by Borrower in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, within 60 days after the

-65-

receipt of notice thereof from Lender, then Lender may, but shall not be required to, procure the release and discharge of such Lien, and in furtherance thereof may, in its sole discretion, effect any settlement or compromise with the lienor or lien claimant or post any bond or furnish any security or indemnity as Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect. In settling, compromising or arranging for the discharge of any Liens or claims of Liens under this Section 5.11, Lender shall not be required to establish or confirm the validity or amount of the Lien or the claim. Borrower agrees that all costs and expenses reasonably expended or otherwise incurred pursuant to this Section 5.11 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) by Lender shall constitute Obligations and shall be paid by Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Disbursement Agreement with respect to the terms of this Section 5.11, the terms of the Disbursement Agreement shall control.

Not effect any change (i) in Borrower’s legal name, (ii) in the location of any Borrower’s chief executive office, (iii) in Borrower’s identity or organizational structure, (iv) in Borrower’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number, if any, or (v) in Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization (in each case, including by merging with or into any other entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reorganizing or organizing in any other jurisdiction), until (A) it shall have given Lender prior written notice of its intention so to do, clearly describing such change and providing such other information in connection therewith as Lender may reasonably request and (B) it shall have taken all action reasonably satisfactory to Lender to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of Lender in the Collateral, if applicable. Borrower agrees to promptly provide Lender with certified Organizational Documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence.

SECTION 5.13 Compliance with Laws, Project Documents, etc.; Permits.

(a) Comply with all Requirements of Law, noncompliance with which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and comply in all material respects with its Organizational Documents.

(b) Comply, duly and promptly, in all respects with its respective obligations and enforce all of its respective rights under all Project Documents, except where the failure to so comply or enforce its rights would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.14 EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Compliance.

(a) Adhere in all material respects to that certain Business Plan dated June 19, 2012; provided, however, that any adjustments to such Business Plan that would have the effect of reducing the number of qualifying jobs under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program by more than 15% shall require the consent of Lender.

(b) As soon as available, but in any event not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal year, deliver reports regarding job creating information, together with supporting documentation regarding such information, and any other information Lender may require in its sole and reasonable discretion to determine compliance with the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program;

No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of the Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Waivers, Amendments, Etc. Subject to Section 10.02(c), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor the Intercreditor Agreements nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Lender, and, if applicable, the other parties that are party thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.02 to the contrary, in connection with the incurrence by Borrower of additional Indebtedness permitted by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 6.01, Lender agrees to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, re-statements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, the SLS Las Vegas Mortgage, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, including the entry into the intercreditor agreement referred to in Section 6.01, as may be reasonably deemed by Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of Borrower permitted to secure such additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by Borrower, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the SLS Las Vegas Mortgage being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified.

SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by Lender and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel plus local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for Lender) in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including in connection with post-closing searches to confirm that security filings and recordations have been properly made and including any costs and expenses of any service providers in connection therewith, and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender (provided that any such legal expenses shall be limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to Lender plus local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or (B) in connection with the Loan made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loan.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and each Related Party of Lender (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all reasonable and documented, out of pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel plus local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Mortgaged Property, or any liability under Environmental Law related in any way to Borrower, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (i) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (ii) from a material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) to the extent arising from any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee, (iv) as to any of the matters described in the second paragraph of the “Indemnification” section of the Letter of Intent or (v) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses directly result from Lender’s participation in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and do not result from Borrower’s conduct. Each Indemnitee shall be a third-party beneficiary of the indemnity provided by this Section 10.03(b). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to any Tax-related matter, except to the extent of any Taxes that represent losses, damages, etc. resulting from a non-Tax claim.

-90-

(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, Borrower shall not assert, and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent any such damages incurred by Borrower are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or material breach of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee.

(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 3 Business Days after demand therefor.

SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Lender (it being understood that a merger or consolidation that is otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents shall not constitute such an assignment or transfer). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(i) Assignments by Lender. Without the prior written consent of Borrower (which may be withheld in Borrower’s reasonable discretion), Lender may not assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loan). For the avoidance of doubt, it would be reasonable for Borrower to withhold consent to any assignment or participation by Lender if such assignment or participation could reasonably be expected to result in an adverse consequence on the Borrower (including any diminution of rights of Borrower against ADF or Lender under the Letter of Intent), resulting from, among other things, that such assignment or participation (i) requires the consent of any member in the SLS Lender, LLC or is not expressly permitted by the Operating Agreement, or (ii) requires consent under or violates the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program or result in any adverse effect on Borrower. Any transfer of any interest held by ADF in Lender or SLS Lender Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, shall be deemed an assignment of the Loan that is subject to this Section 10.04(a)(i). Lender acknowledges that ADF and Lender have affirmative obligations in favor of the Borrower and other First Lien Loan Parties pursuant to the Letter of Intent. Lender shall not take (or permit any affiliates to take) any action that could reasonably be expected to result in any diminution of obligations on the part of ADF under the Letter of Intent or result in a violation of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADF may transfer its interests in the Lender, to either (x) a regional center duly approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or (y) a party which becomes a successor in interest to ADF pursuant to a merger or consolidation, provided, in each case, the assignee or successor agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Letter of Intent and provided further, in each case, the assignee or successor is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower with respect to the assignee’s or successor’s ability to perform those duties, acts or obligations required under this Agreement and the Letter of Intent, such acceptance or withholding of acceptance by the Borrower to be determined in a commercially reasonable and timely manner.

-91-

(b) Agreement by Assignee. From and after the effective date specified in each assignment, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, have the rights and obligations of a lender under this Agreement, and Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment to such lender, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04.

(c) Register. Borrower shall maintain at its office a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loan owing to, each lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and the lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Without the prior written consent of Borrower, subject to Section 10.04(b), Lender may not sell participations to any person (each, a “Participant”) in all or any portion of Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loan). In the event that any consent has been granted and the Lender participates any portion of the Loan, (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which Lender sells such a participation shall provide that Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents. Lender agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the replacement of any Participant upon certain terms and conditions to be agreed to by the parties. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to certain terms and conditions regarding the sharing of amounts received by exercising such Participant’s right to setoff pursuant to Section 10.08 with the lenders as though it were a lender. In addition, Lender, to the extent Lender sells a participation to one or more Participants under this Section 10.4(e) shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, keep a register, specifying the name and address of each Participant and each such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal (and related interest amounts) with respect to such participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that Lender shall not have the obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the

-92-

Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other Tax proceeding to establish that any loans are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].

(f) Certain Pledges. Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for Lender as a party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such pledge shall be made under this Section 10.04(g) if such pledge results or would result in a violation of the EB- 5 Immigrant Investor Program or would result in any adverse effect on Borrower.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in any assignment and assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record-keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on the Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 9.01, 10.09, 10.10, and 10.12 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Other than with respect to the Fees pursuant to the terms set forth in the Letter of Intent, paragraph 12 of the Letter of Intent, and the obligations set forth in the paragraphs enumerated in paragraph 12 of the Letter of Intent, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Lender and when Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif” document) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

-93-

SECTION 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to Lender, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender may have. Lender agrees to notify Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not have any right of set off with respect to amounts held in the Disbursement Agent Accounts.

SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopier) in Section 10.01.

-94-

SECTION 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.10.

Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.12 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information.

Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of Borrower and other information regarding Borrower that will allow Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective as to Lender.

SECTION 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to the Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on the Loan under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender holding the Loan in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of the Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of the Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.14 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to Lender in respect of the Loan or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by Lender.

(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

SECTION 10.17 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 10.18 Certain Matters Affecting Lender.

(a) In the event that the Lender is determined to be a Disqualified Lender, such lender shall cooperate with Borrower to cause such lender to not constitute a Disqualified Lender.
