SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement made as of the 29th day of September, 2006 between The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. (“Secured Party”) and Resorts International Hotel, Inc. (“Debtor”) amends and restates in its entirety that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 24, 2002 between Secured Party and Debtor, as amended prior to the execution hereof (the “First Restatement”), which First Restatement amended and restated in its entirety that certain Master Security Agreement dated August 17, 2001 between Secured Party and Debtor, as amended prior to June 24, 2002 (such amended Master Security Agreement, as further amended and restated by the First Restatement, being referred to herein as the “Original Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined in the body of this Agreement, are defined in Section 13.

This Agreement provides a set of terms and conditions that the parties hereto (the “Parties” and each a “Party”) intend to be applicable to various loan transactions secured by personal property. Each such loan shall from time to time at the option of the Secured Party be evidenced by a schedule of indebtedness and non-exclusive collateral in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or, with respect to Loans made under the Original Agreement, in the form of Exhibit A thereto) executed by Secured Party and Debtor (each a “Schedule”). Whether or not stated, each Schedule shall be and is hereby deemed to incorporate the provisions of this Agreement and each Schedule may set forth more specified terms as to that particular loan. Where the provisions of a Schedule conflict with the terms hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail except to the extent set forth in Section 2.1.

One originally executed copy of a Schedule shall be denominated “Originally Executed Copy No.      of      originally executed copies” and such copy shall be retained by Secured Party. If more than one copy of a Schedule is executed by Secured Party and Debtor, all such other copies shall be numbered consecutively. Unless and only to the extent otherwise expressly provided in a Schedule, no Schedule shall replace any previous Schedule but shall be supplementary to all previous Schedules.

1. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL; OBLIGATIONS THE COLLATERAL SECURES.

1.1 Grant of Security Interest. Subject to Section 1.2, as security for the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Obligations, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest (and hereby confirms all security interests granted by Debtor to Secured Party pursuant to the Original Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect) in and to each of the following assets (collectively, the “Collateral”): (i) (A) all gaming equipment of every kind and nature whatsoever described in each Schedule (“Gaming Equipment”), (B) all furniture, machinery, and equipment of every kind and nature whatsoever described in each Schedule other than Gaming Equipment (“Non-Gaming Equipment”), and (C) all present and future attachments and accessions and other additions to any such items described in subclauses (A) and (B)


immediately preceding and all substitutions therefor, it being acknowledged that only certain substitutions are permitted hereunder as to the equipment (all the foregoing described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as “Equipment”), (ii) all property and assets of every kind and nature whatsoever otherwise related to the Equipment, including related software and other intellectual property rights, (iii) all rights and remedies of Debtor in or relating to the Equipment Documents, (iv) all proceeds and products of any of the items described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately preceding, including amounts payable under any insurance policy, and (v) any books and records relating thereto.

1.2 Cross-Collateralization. Each item of Collateral shall secure not only the specific amount which Debtor promises to pay in any Obligation (including, any Loan) corresponding to the Schedule listing such item of Collateral, but also all other Obligations, including all principal and interest of each other Loan (such security of such other Obligations being referred to herein a “cross-collateralization”); provided, that if and to the extent such cross-collateralization conflicts with or violates Section 4.09 of the First Mortgage Indenture by reason of an assignment, syndication or other similar transfer by Secured Party of a portion of the Obligations thereby resulting in more than a single lender having rights in respect of the same Collateral, then the cross-collateralization hereunder shall be correspondingly limited and/or released to the extent (and only to such extent) necessary such that the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement constitute “Permitted Liens” under the First Mortgage Indenture (as the same exists on the date hereof and assuming for the purposes of this Section 1.2 no restatement, supplementation or other modification of any applicable provision to the same).

1.3 Cross Default. If any Event of Default shall occur, then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Secured Party hereunder of law or equity or otherwise, Secured Party shall have the right to accelerate the entire outstanding principal balance of all Loans and other Obligations and to terminate the New Gaming Equipment Loan Facility.

2. PROMISE TO PAY; TERMS AND PLACE OF PAYMENT; OTHER TERMS RELATING TO PAYMENTS; PAYMENT OF FEES AND EXPENSES.

2.1 Debtor’s Promise to Pay. Debtor promises to pay Secured Party the principal, interest and other amounts set forth on each Schedule at the rate and upon such terms as provided in this Agreement. The only times in which any terms, including the payment terms for principal and interest, specified in a Schedule shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement shall be where all of the following apply: (i) it is expressly stated in such Schedule that such specific terms specified in such Schedule is intended to and does supersede the corresponding terms provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Secured Party expressly acknowledges and accepts such provision in such Schedule, and signs such Schedule and (iii) such Schedule relates to a New Gaming Equipment Loan.

2.2 Interest Rate. All loans made by Secured Party to Debtor pursuant to this Agreement (including all loans made under the Original Agreement and under this Second Restatement) (the “Loans” and each a “Loan”) shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate from time to time per annum equal at all times to the Applicable Margin plus LIBOR in effect from time to time (the “Interest Rate”), each change in such fluctuating rate to take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in LIBOR and/or the Applicable Margin, as the case may be, without

 

-2-


notice to Debtor; provided that, subject to Section 9.2(a), if the Secured Party declares one or more Events of Default, then the Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate from time to time per annum equal to the sum of (a) two percent (2%) plus (b) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus (c) LIBOR in effect from time to time (the “Default Rate”) for the entire period during which any such Event of Default occurs and remains continuing. The Applicable Margin shall be reset on the forty-fifth (45th) day after the end of each fiscal quarter of Debtor, and shall be determined based on the ratio of Debtor’s Senior Debt to EBITDA (trailing twelve (12) months) that existed on the last day of Debtor’s then most recent fiscal quarter.

LIBOR” means the London Interbank Offered Rate (in U.S. dollar deposits) for a term of three months, as determined by Secured Party by reference to Telerate page 3750 (or any successor page) or by any other means used by Secured Party in the ordinary course of its business. Interest on each Loan shall begin to accrue on the day each such Loan is made.

2.3 Timing of Payment of Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, the accrued interest with respect to each Loan shall be payable to Secured Party (i) in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing in the month following the making of such Loan, (ii) on any day in which any prepayment of principal is made with regard to such Loan, and (iii) on any day such Loan is paid or is payable in full.

2.4 Payment of Principal.

(a) Payment of Principal on Existing Debt. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, the aggregate principal balance of the Existing Debt shall be amortized in twelve (12) equal monthly installments of $455,898.56, which shall be due and payable on each consecutive Payment Date from and including the first Payment Date in October, 2006 through and including the first Payment Date in September, 2007; and the aggregate principal balance of the Existing Debt outstanding following the September, 2007 amortization payment shall be due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c). Each Schedule corresponding to the Existing Loans is hereby amended to delete any amortization schedule (or similar provision) included therein or in any attachment thereto.

(b) Payment of Principal on New Gaming Equipment Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, the aggregate principal balance of the New Gaming Equipment Loans shall be due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c).

(c) Conversion of Loans. On the first Payment Date in October, 2007 (the “Conversion Date”), all Loans will be combined into a fully amortizing loan at the Interest Rate, and subject to the provisions of Section 9, (i) the principal of each such Loan shall thereafter be fully amortized in seventeen (17) consecutive equal monthly installments, commencing on such Payment Date in October 2007 and (ii) shall be due and payable on each consecutive Payment Date from and including the first Payment Date in October, 2007.

2.5 Prepayments. Each prepayment of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment in full of all accrued interest thereon to and including the date of such prepayment. Debtor may prepay the unamortized Loan balance in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, all prepayments shall be in amounts of not less than $100,000 (and shall be in multiples thereof) except that after the first year of the making of a Loan, Debtor shall have the right to prepay the remaining balance in full on any Loan. Substitutions of Equipment will not be considered a prepayment event and will be permitted so long as, in Secured Party’s sole discretion (a) substitute Equipment in which Debtor grants Secured Party a first priority security interest is of equal or greater value and of a substantially similar nature and function than the Equipment disposed of and (b) all of the conditions precedent applicable to a Loan have been met as of the date of substitution.

2.6 Payment of Fees and Expenses. Debtor shall pay Secured Party the following non-refundable fees and expenses:

(a) Late Fees. Any payment not made when due shall (in addition to any interest otherwise accruing on such payment) bear late charges thereon, payable monthly on the Payment Date and calculated at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month on the amount of

 

-4-


such payment from the date due until paid, but in no event shall any interest, late fees or other amounts individually (or in the aggregate to the extent such amounts are aggregated under applicable law) be greater than the highest rate permitted by relevant law. The payment of late fees shall not reduce or otherwise affect Secured Party’s right to accelerate the Obligations. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if Secured Party elects to make the monetary Obligations become immediately due and payable hereunder pursuant to Section 9.2, then the foregoing late charges shall not be applicable to any payments that become due exclusively on account of such election; it being agreed that any such late charges shall apply (and shall continue to apply) to any payments not made and due prior to such election.

(b) Returned Check Fee. Debtor shall be responsible for and pay to Secured Party a returned check fee, not to exceed the maximum permitted by law, which fee will be equal to the sum of (i) the actual bank charge incurred by Secured Party plus (ii) all other actual costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party. The returned check fee is payable upon demand as indebtedness secured by the Collateral under this Agreement.

(c) Reasonable Expenses. Debtor agrees to pay to Secured Party, within five days of request therefor, any and all reasonable legal and other fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Secured Party in connection with Secured Party’s investigation of Debtor, its assets and its business and preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Relevant Documents, including field examination audits, filing fees and search fees provided that all such fees and expenses which have been incurred by Secured Party to date shall be paid on the date hereof (and any failure to so present same by Secured Party or to pay by Debtor shall not relieve Debtor of its obligations to pay and reimburse Secured Party therefor).

(d) Upfront Fee. On or before the execution of the Second Restatement, Debtor shall pay to Secured Party a commitment fee in the amount of $50,000.

2.7 No Setoff. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Debtor hereunder on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made to Secured Party without deduction, set-off or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever for any reason whatsoever and shall be free and clear of, and without reduction for, any present or future income, stamp, documentary, excise or other taxes (which shall be paid by Debtor).

2.8 Other Matters Concerning Payments. Other matters concerning payments are as follows:

(a) Invoices. On or about the fifteenth day of each month so long as Loans are outstanding, Secured Party shall present a monthly invoice to Debtor reflecting the interest and principal due on the next Payment Date, but any failure or delay from time to time by Secured Party in submitting invoices for payments shall not discharge or relieve Debtor of the obligation to timely make such payments.

(b) Interest Calculation; Lawful Rate; Non-Banking Days. Interest on the Loans shall be calculated on a daily basis upon the unpaid principal balance, with each day representing 1/360th of a year. If the interest rate calculated in accordance with any provision of this Agreement for any Loan (including, to the extent relevant, any application of the late fee) would

 

-5-


at any time exceed the maximum permitted by any applicable law then for such period as such rate would exceed the maximum permitted by such law (and no longer) the rate of interest payable on the applicable Loan shall be reduced to the maximum permitted by such law. If any payment pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Relevant Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Banking Day and in each such case such extension of time shall be included in computation of the interest due or other payment due.

3. LOANS.

3.1 Maximum Amount of Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the New Gaming Equipment Loan Period, Secured Party will lend to Debtor from time to time a principal sum up to the New Gaming Equipment Availability Amount (the “New Gaming Equipment Loan Facility”) to be used by Debtor solely to acquire Gaming Equipment.

3.2 Amount of New Gaming Equipment Loans; Promissory Notes. Each New Gaming Equipment Loan shall be used to pay not more than one hundred percent (100%) of the actual purchase price for Gaming Equipment (after taking into account applicable discounts, allowances and rebates). Further, not more than fifteen percent (15%) of any New Gaming Equipment Loan shall be used to pay for freight, delivery, taxes, installation, set-up, other labor, other similar services and other similar costs. Each New Gaming Equipment Loan (and each other Loan) shall be, if Secured Party requires (but otherwise need not be), evidenced by Debtor’s promissory notes in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement with appropriate insertions thereon made by Secured Party, payable to the order of Secured Party (as each such Note is amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Notes”).

3.3 Minimum Borrowings. Any borrowings by Debtor hereunder shall be for not less than the lesser of (a) Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) and (b) the New Gaming Equipment Availability Amount at one time.

3.4 No Obligation To Lend After New Gaming Equipment Loan Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Secured Party shall have no obligation to make any Loans after the earlier of (a) the end of the New Gaming Equipment Loan Period or (b) the date the New Gaming Equipment Loan Facility terminates.

3.5 Termination of the New Gaming Equipment Loan Facility. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all of the Loans shall be immediately due and payable, with all accrued interest, and the New Gaming Equipment Loan Facility shall terminate, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of all of the Loans by Secured Party.

3.6 Certain Obligations of Debtor Regarding the Loans. Secured Party’s obligations to make the New Gaming Equipment Loans are subject to Debtor providing to Secured Party Documents which evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party that:

(a) Debtor has acquired good and valid title to (and possession of) the Gaming Equipment from the manufacturer thereof or authorized dealer thereof, whichever is the seller (the “Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer”) within that period of time necessary so that (i) the

 

-6-


corresponding Loan shall constitute a Purchase Money Obligation (as defined in and for the purposes of the First Mortgage Indenture) and (ii) Secured Party will have a Purchase Money Security Interest (as defined in and for the purposes of the UCC) in such Equipment;

(b) the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer is a seller in the ordinary course of its business, and the proceeds of the Loan will be used to pay the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer or in the sole discretion of Secured Party, reimburse Debtor for its payment to the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer and that Debtor has paid the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer;

(c) such Equipment is free and clear of all Liens except Liens in favor of Secured Party and Permitted Liens, including that no Liens thereon have been filed of record by a creditor of the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer or any other Person;

(d) such Equipment consists only of new Gaming Equipment;

(e) such Equipment has been (A) delivered to Debtor to the Debtor’s Atlantic City Property and (B) fully installed and is operational; and

(f) Debtor has obtained insurance of the types and in the amounts required hereunder relating to such Equipment and all such insurance otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 8;

(g) no such Equipment is, or could in any manner be or be reasonably asserted to be, a fixture under applicable state law; and

(h) Debtor has provided to Secured Party a financing statement (or at the sole discretion of Secured Party, an amendment to an existing financing statement), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, covering the Equipment.

Each New Gaming Equipment Loan is subject to Secured Party’s receipt of a Note therefor, the Schedule therefor and other Documents reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party relating to the transactions contemplated by the purchase of the Gaming Equipment. If Secured Party elects to make any Loan hereunder, Secured Party shall have the right, as Secured Party may elect from time to time in its sole discretion, to make advances to Debtor, reimburse Debtor after it pays the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer or make one or more such Loans by paying the purchase price of the Gaming Equipment directly to the Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer of the Equipment. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.3, each of the request for and the acceptance of any Loan (including any Loan paid directly to an Equipment Manufacturer/Dealer) constitutes Debtor’s representations and warranties that all of Debtor’s rights and remedies in and under the Equipment Documents may be assigned to Secured Party, and Debtor is not as of the date thereof and will not as of the date of the acquisition of the Equipment be precluded from obtaining a security interest in the Equipment free and clear of any Liens other than the Liens of Secured Party and Permitted Liens.

If requested by Secured Party, Debtor shall as a precondition to a Loan confirm the foregoing matters in this Section and any other matters reasonably requested by Secured Party by delivery of a certificate dated the day of the Loan, signed by a duly authorized officer of Debtor.

 

-7-


Secured Party shall have no obligation to make any Loan during any period that there exists a material breach under or relating to this Agreement, any Relevant Document or any Senior Debt Document. Debtor shall remit to Secured Party the proceeds (after deducting selling expenses) of any disposition of Equipment, and Secured Party shall accept such proceeds as a prepayment of the Loan secured by such Equipment.

3.7 No Lending Against Fixtures. Debtor does not intend any Equipment to be a fixture to real estate under applicable law or an accession to other property. Debtor covenants that all Equipment shall at all times remain personal property and not fixtures. Further, Debtor and Secured Party agree that regardless of the manner of affixation, the Equipment shall remain personal property and not become part of the real estate.

16. SPECIAL PROVISIONS.

16.1 Original Agreement. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that under the Original Agreement, Debtor and Secured Party executed the Schedules identified on Exhibit F (the “Original Schedules”). The Original Schedules evidence Loans made available under the Expansion Facility and the Landmark Facility, and Debtor and Secured Party acknowledge and agree that the availability of any additional Loans under such Expansion Facility and Landmark Facility has terminated and that the outstanding aggregate principal amount due Secured Party under the Original Schedules is $12,221,058 at September 29, 2006 (the “Existing Debt”).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) except to the extent modified pursuant to the terms of this Section 16.1, the Original Schedules constitute Schedules for purposes of this Agreement, (b) the collateral described in the Original Schedules constitute Collateral for purposes of this Agreement, and (c) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Original Schedules.

To the extent any provision in any of the Original Schedules conflicts with or is otherwise inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control

16.2 Effect of New Jersey Gaming Laws. This Agreement and all Schedules shall comply with the requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction with regard to this subject matter including the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “CCC”). The terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Schedules shall be conditioned upon approval by the CCC, if such approval is required. Secured Party and Debtor agree that if, at any time, whether prior to or subsequent to the commencement of this Agreement, the CCC shall render a final determination either (i) disapproving any terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Schedules, or any Relevant Document or (ii) not permitting The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc., to be the Secured Party hereunder without being licensed by the CCC (or any other appropriate New Jersey regulatory agency) as a casino service industry or (iii) not permitting The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. to be the Secured Party hereunder without making a regulatory application which The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. is unwilling to make including an application for a waiver or for casino service industry status, then, if any one of the aforesaid events occur, this Agreement and all Schedules hereunder shall be deemed terminated 90 days after the date of such regulatory disapproval or determination by the CCC (such 90-day period hereinafter referred to as the “Cure Period”). The aforesaid termination due to CCC regulatory action shall hereinafter be referred to the “CCC Termination” and the 90th

 

-36-


day after such regulatory disapproval or determination by the CCC shall hereinafter be referred to as the “CCC Termination Date” provided that if Secured Party decides in its sole discretion not to seek any such License then the CCC Termination Date shall be ten (10) days after such decision by the Secured Party. If the CCC does render a disapproval or determination as aforesaid, and if during the Cure Period, as the case may be, either (i) Secured Party changes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Schedules so as to be acceptable to the CCC and Debtor or (ii) Secured Party sells 100% of its interest in this Agreement and Schedules to a lender acceptable to the CCC and Debtor, then the termination shall be void ab initio and this Agreement and Schedules shall remain in full force and effect. However, if Secured Party does not accomplish either (i) or (ii) during the Cure Period, then on the CCC Termination Date, Debtor shall pay to Secured Party, in immediately available funds, all indebtedness due under this Agreement and all Schedules including all principal, accrued interest, late charges and all other amounts due under this Agreement and Schedules but, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in any Schedule or elsewhere, Debtor shall not be required to pay any prepayment fee. If any Governmental Authority, including the CCC or the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, requests from either Party, their counsel or other representatives a copy of this Agreement or any other Relevant Document, such Party is hereby authorized to deliver such document to such governmental authority and such Party will promptly notify the other Party to such effect. Secured Party agrees to provide to the CCC and/or the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement all documentation reasonably requested by such Governmental Authorities with respect to its qualification as a “financial source.”

16.3 KINA Guaranty/Subordination Agreement. So long as the KINA Guaranty and the Subordination Agreement remain in full force and effect, the entering into the KINA Guaranty by each member of the Debtor Group shall not constitute a breach of Section 7.7 hereof or Section 4 of the Guaranty.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Subordination Agreement constitutes a Relevant Document, and (ii) subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, (A) the KINA Guaranty and the Guarantee Obligations (as defined in the KINA Guaranty) constitute Senior Debt, and (B) the KINA Guaranty and the Documents evidencing such Guarantee Obligations (including, without limitation, the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Kerzner Umbrella Agreement) constitute Senior Debt Documents, provided that, to avoid doubt, notwithstanding the labels “Senior Debt” and “Senior Debt Documents,” nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Second Restatement) shall modify or limit in any respect the subordination by Kerzner International North America, Inc. (“KINA”) to and for the benefit of Secured Party under the Subordination Agreement in accordance with its terms.

So long as none of the members of the Debtor Group make any payment or other transfer of money or other assets of any kind or nature to any Holder (as defined in the KINA Guaranty) in respect of any of the Guarantee Obligations (as defined in the KINA Guaranty) and the Subordination Agreement remains in full force and effect, then the Parties agree that the Guaranty and such Guarantee Obligations shall not constitute Debt for purposes of this Agreement.

 

-37-


Without the prior written consent of Secured Party, neither Guarantor nor Debtor shall (and each shall cause each other member of the Debtor Group not to) enter into any agreement or other arrangement that will or will have the effect of amending, modifying or supplementing in any respect (i) on or prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Kerzner Umbrella Agreement), the Kerzner Umbrella Agreement (including, without limitation, any Exhibit attached thereto) and (ii) after the effectiveness of such Transaction Documents, the scope of the obligations being guaranteed under the KINA Guaranty.
