BRIDGE LOAN

2.1                               Establishment of Bridge Loan

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender hereby establishes in favour of the Borrower a secured non-revolving bridge loan in the principal amount of up to $80,000,000, available on the terms and conditions set out herein.

(b)           All Advances shall be made in US Dollars.

(c)           At no time shall the amount of the Loan exceed the Loan Amount available to the Borrower at such time.

(d)           From the Closing Date, the Bridge Loan shall be available to the Borrower solely for the purposes contemplated in Section 6.1(ee) hereof and for no other purposes.

2.2                               Non-Revolving Nature of Bridge Loan

The Bridge Loan is a non-revolving facility and any portion of the Loan that is repaid shall reduce the Loan Amount and may not be re-borrowed.

2.3                               Pre-Payment

(a)           Subject to LIBOR contract maturity dates with respect to any Advance, the Borrower may from time to time (without premium or penalty) on any Banking Day repay to the Lender any portion of the Loan, provided that any such repayment (a) shall be in an amount of at least $500,000 and any greater amount shall be an integral multiple of $50,000 and (b) shall be effected on at least ten Banking Days notice in writing to the Lender; provided that such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower. The Loan Amount shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of any such repayment.

(b)           The Borrower shall also have the right to pre-pay the entire Loan at any time, provided that the Borrower repays to the Lender the Loan then outstanding (including, for greater certainty, all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing as of such date) (the “Pre-Payment Amount”), and the Borrower cancels any undrawn portion of the Loan. Notice of such voluntary pre-payment shall be given by the Borrower (which notice shall be irrevocable when given) to the Lender not later than 10 Banking Days prior to the date of such pre-payment, specifying the date of such pre-payment. On receipt of full payment of the Pre-Payment Amount, the Lender shall promptly execute and deliver a full release of the Security held by it with respect to the transactions and obligations contemplated herein, but in no event shall such release operate as a release of any indemnities which are stated to survive a termination and/or release of any such security or obligation. There shall be no make-whole payment by the Borrower to the Lender in connection with any pre-payment.

2.4                               Mandatory Repayment

(a)           The Loan shall be repaid in the following amounts and circumstances:

(i)                                     in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at any time shall exceed the Loan Amount at such time, the Borrower shall forthwith make a repayment on account of the Loan such that, after giving effect to such repayment, the aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding will be not more than the Loan Amount;

(ii)                                  upon the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the net proceeds of:

22




(A)                              insurance claims in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement, other than proceeds of claims under business interruption insurance, in respect of any of the assets and undertaking of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, unless such proceeds are used for repairs or reconstruction of damaged properties (as approved by the Lender, acting reasonably);

(B)                                asset and/or real property sales by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries out of the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (which ordinary course of business includes the sale of individual residential lots at market prices);

(C)                                any issue of securities (including by way of incremental debt or equity) by the Borrower (except those in respect of the Borrower’s long term incentive plan) or any of its Subsidiaries (other than in connection with the Fair Enterprise Investment), or borrowing of monies, other than Permitted Debt, by the Borrower of any of its Subsidiaries;

(D)          any expropriation or condemnation of the whole or any part of its real property or other assets, an amount equal to 100% of such net proceeds shall be applied to repay the Loan, subject, to the extent applicable, to the terms of the BMO Intercreditor Agreement; and

(iii)                               in full on the Termination Date.

(b)           The repayments referred to in items (A) to (D) inclusive of Section 2.4(a)(ii) shall be made as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three Banking Days) following the receipt by any of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries of the net proceeds referred to therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries shall direct all purchasers of the assets and/or real property specified in Section 2.4(a)(ii)(B) to pay the applicable amount of net proceeds arising therefrom and due to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement directly to the Lender. Upon the repayment of the principal amount of the Loan or interest pursuant to Section 2.4(a), the Loan Amount shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the principal paid.

(c)           For the purposes of this Section 2.4, net proceeds from any sale or other transaction referred to herein means the proceeds (including any cash received in respect of non-cash proceeds (including any cash payments received by way of deferred payment of principal pursuant to a note or instalment receivable or purchase price adjustment receivable or otherwise, but excluding any interest payments) but only as and when received) received by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries therefrom net of all reasonable professional fees, brokers fees paid on an arm’s-length market basis, filing fees, commissions, sales tax and other direct costs and expenses of such transaction, together with, where applicable, in respect of any sale or other disposition of assets, the amounts necessary to repay or otherwise satisfy all Permitted Encumbrances attaching to such assets ranking in priority to the Security or arising by virtue of this Agreement.

2.5                               Voluntary Reduction in Aggregate Commitment

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, by giving at least ten Banking Days’ notice to the Lender, which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower, to reduce the Loan Amount to a lower amount that is not less than the principal amount of the Loan then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the amount of the reduction, which shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000. The amount of any such reduction so made by the Borrower shall be permanent and irrevocable and the Loan Amount shall be reduced accordingly.

23




ARTICLE 3

GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE BRIDGE LOAN

3.1                               Advances

Each request by the Borrower for an Advance under the Bridge Loan shall be made by the delivery of a duly completed and executed Borrowing Notice to the Lender on the fifth Banking Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date. Any notice in respect of a proposed Advance shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. All Advances shall be in an amount of at least $500,000.

3.2                               Payments Generally

All payments in respect of the Bridge Loan (in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender no later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the due date thereof to the account specified therefor by the Lender from time to time. Any payments received after such time shall be considered for all purposes as having been made on the next following Banking Day unless the Lender otherwise agrees in writing. All payments shall be made by way of immediately available funds.

3.3                               Illegality

If the introduction of or change to any present or future Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body, shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain any Loan or any relevant portion thereof or to give effect to its obligations in respect of such Loan as contemplated hereby, the Lender may, by notice to the Borrower, declare that its obligations hereunder in respect of such Loan shall be terminated, and thereupon, subject as hereinafter provided in this Section 3.3, the Borrower shall prepay to the Lender forthwith (or at the end of such period to which the Lender shall in its discretion have agreed) all of the Obligations to the Lender in respect of such Loan, including all amounts payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.4. Any repayments made under this Section 3.3 shall permanently reduce the Loan Amount.

3.4                               Indemnity

(a)           The Borrower and each of the Guarantors (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify the Lender and its officers, directors and employees (each, an “Indemnified Person”) and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims and reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and his own client basis) (in each case, a “Claim”) that may be incurred by or asserted as a result of a claim by any third party or awarded in favour of a third party against any of them, in each case, arising out of, related to, or in connection with, or by reason of (i) the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Acquisition undertaken by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any Environmental Law, including (A) the claim of any Lien thereunder, (B) the presence of any Hazardous Substance affecting any Properties or any adjacent real estate to the Properties, or (C) the Release by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of any Hazardous Substance into the environment. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4(a), an Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Person under this Section 3.4(a) for any Claim to the extent that such Claim is solely attributable to:

(i)                                     the gross negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct or wilful illegal acts of any Indemnified Person;

(ii)                                  the failure on the part of any Indemnified Person to perform any of its material covenants or obligations contained in any Loan Document to which it is a party, or a representation or warranty made by any Indemnified Person under the Loan Documents to which it is a party or in any certificate or other document delivered by any Indemnified Person pursuant hereto or in connection with any Loan Document being found to be false or incorrect in any material respect so as to make it materially misleading when made;

24




(iii)                               the Claim of any Indemnified Person for expenses which such Indemnified Person is obligated to bear hereunder; or

(iv)                              a Claim to the extent arising from the act of offering, selling, disposing or transferring by any Indemnified Person of all or part of its interest in the Loan Documents.

(b)           The obligations and indemnification of the Borrower and each of the Guarantors under this Section 3.4 shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. The Lender shall hold the benefit of this indemnity in trust for those Indemnified Persons who are not parties to this Agreement.

3.5                               Proceedings in Respect of Claims

(a)           If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Person as to which an Indemnifying Party may have an indemnification obligation under Section 3.4(a), such Indemnified Person shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the Claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice promptly shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations to indemnify unless (and only to the extent) such failure shall prevent the Indemnifying Party from contesting, or materially and adversely affects the ability of the Borrower to conduct a contest of, such Claim.

(b)           The Indemnified Person shall be entitled, in its discretion, to require the Indemnifying Party to prosecute, at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, the entire defence of such Indemnified Person against any Claim by a third party for which such Indemnified Person is indemnified under Section 3.4(a). In addition, upon delivery by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of a written acknowledgement of the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify such Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in, and, to the extent that the Indemnifying Party desires, to assume and control the defence thereof through its own counsel (who shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Person); provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party is controlling any proceedings, the Indemnifying Party shall keep such Indemnified Person fully apprised of the status of such proceedings and shall provide such Indemnified Person with all information with respect to such proceedings as such Indemnified Person shall reasonably request. The Indemnifying Party must indicate its election to assume such defence by written notice to the Indemnified Person within 30 days following receipt of the Indemnified Person’s notice of the Claim, or in the case of a third party Claim which requires a shorter time for response then within such shorter period as specified in the Indemnified Person’s notice of Claim, provided that such Indemnified Person has given the Indemnifying Party notice thereof. The Indemnified Person may participate at its own expense and with its own counsel (provided that all Indemnified Persons shall use the same counsel) in any proceeding conducted by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the foregoing; provided the Indemnifying Party shall in any event remain liable hereunder in respect of the Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and control (but may, at its own expense, participate in) the defence of any such Claim if and to the extent that:

(i)                                     in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnified Person acting in good faith,

(A)                              such proceeding involves any risk of imposition of criminal liability on such Indemnified Person; or

(B)                                such proceeding involves any risk of impairment to the reputation of the Indemnified Person in any material respect; or

(C)                                the control of such action, suit or proceeding would involve an actual or potential conflict of interest, such that it is advisable for such Indemnified Person to be represented by separate counsel; or

(ii)                                  such proceeding involves Claims not fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party which the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person have been unable to sever from the indemnified Claim(s).

25




Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Section 3.5(b), in any of the circumstances set out in Section 3.5(b)(i) or (ii), the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to assume the defence of such Claim with counsel selected by it (provided that all Indemnified Parties shall use the same counsel) and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall in any event remain liable hereunder in respect of the indemnified Claim.

(c)           Except in the circumstances described in Section 3.5(b)(i)(C), the Indemnifying Party may enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim in respect of which it has an indemnity payment obligation under Section 3.5(a) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, except in the case of a settlement involving an admission of liability of such Indemnified Person, in which case the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person shall be obtained, provided that if such Indemnified Person withholds its consent to such settlement and the required admission of liability of such Indemnified Person is not in favour of a Governmental Body other than a court, would not give rise to the imposition of any penalty or sanction against the Indemnified Person by any Governmental Body, is not in respect of any criminal liability and would not otherwise impair the reputation of the Indemnified Person in any material respect, the maximum amount of liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person with respect to such Claim shall not exceed the amount of the proposed settlement rejected by such Indemnified Person. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Indemnified Person shall enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any Claim for which the Indemnifying Party has in writing agreed to fully indemnify under Section 3.5(a) without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent may be withheld in the Borrower’s sole discretion, unless such Indemnified Person waives its right to be indemnified under Section 3.5(a), with respect to such Claim.

(d)           Each Indemnified Person shall supply the Indemnifying Party with such information and documents reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party as are necessary or advisable for the Indemnifying Party to participate in any action, suit or proceeding to the extent permitted above, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for the reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of supplying such information and documents, all within a reasonable period of time following the Indemnifying Party’s request therefor.

(e)           Upon payment in full of any Claim pursuant to Section 3.5(a) to or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnified Person may have relating thereto (other than claims in respect of insurance policies maintained by such Indemnified Person at its own expense). Each Indemnified Person agrees, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable request and expense, to give such further assurances or agreements and to otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party to enable the Indemnifying Party to vigorously pursue such claims.

(f)            Any amount payable to an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be paid to such Indemnified Person within 30 days of the receipt (or deemed receipt) by the Indemnifying Party of a written request therefor from such Indemnified Person, accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the basis for such indemnity and the computation of the amount so payable; provided that payment of an indemnity in respect of a third party Claim need not be made until payment is due, whether by compromise, settlement, court proceedings, arbitration or otherwise, from the Indemnified Person in respect of such third party Claim.

3.6                               Evidence of Indebtedness

The Lender shall maintain and keep accounts showing the amount of all Loans advanced by the Lender, from time to time and the dates thereof and the interest, fees and other charges accrued thereon or applicable thereto from time to time, and all payments of principal (including prepayments), interest and fees and other payments made by the Borrower to the Lender from time to time under the Bridge Loan. Such accounts maintained by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the matters recorded therein.

26




ARTICLE 4

INTEREST AND FEES

4.1                               Interest Rate

(a)                                  Advances under the Loan (each such advance being referred to as an “Advance”) shall, subject to Applicable Laws, bear interest from time to time as set forth herein:

(i)                                     subject to Sections 4.1(a)(ii) and (iii) herein, from and after the Closing Date, all Advances under the Bridge Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1,000 basis points (the “Interest Rate”);

(ii)                                  from and after December 31, 2007, in the event that the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries has not (a) completed asset and/or real property sales, (b) entered into Approved Sales Contracts or (c) raised equity (other than the Fair Enterprise Investment), with aggregate net proceeds of not less than $50,000,000, all outstanding and any subsequent Advances under the Bridge Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus 100 basis points; and

(iii)                               from and after February 29, 2008, in the event that the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries has not entered into Approved Sales Contracts in respect of asset sales yielding aggregate net proceeds sufficient to repay the Loan Amount in full, all outstanding and any subsequent Advances under the Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate payable pursuant to Sections 4.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, plus 100 basis points,

with interest in each case payable at maturity of each separate Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that asset sales or Approved Sales Contracts relating to (A) purchases by MID or (B) (i) the Aventura Lands (as defined in the Gulfstream Construction Loan Agreement), (ii) the Hallandale Lands (as defined in the Gulfstream Construction Loan Agreement), (iii) the membership interest in the Gulfstream Park joint venture and/or the ground lease underlying the Gulfstream Park joint venture and (iv) Remington Park (collectively, the “Project Financing Assets”), shall not be applicable in calculating asset sales as contemplated in Sections 4.1(a)(ii) and (iii) herein.

(b)                                 If any Obligations are not paid when due or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all amounts owing or deemed to be owing hereunder, whether in respect of principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, both before and after judgment, and in the case of expenses from the dates such expenses are invoiced to the Borrower, shall bear interest at a rate per annum determined on a daily basis that is equal to the Interest Rate payable pursuant to Sections 4.1(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, plus 300 basis points per annum, in each case calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Such interest shall accrue from day to day, be payable in arrears on demand and shall be compounded monthly on the last Banking Day of each calendar month.

(c)                                  If the Lender determines, in good faith, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Borrower, and notifies the Borrower that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting financial markets inside or outside Canada, the United States or Europe, as the case may be, deposits of U.S. Dollars are unavailable to the Lender in the London interbank market, (ii) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate for an Advance on the basis provided in the definition of LIBOR, or (iii) by reason of a change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental regulation, guideline or order or in the interpretation thereof by any Official Body affecting the Lender, or any relevant financial market, LIBOR no longer represents the effective cost to the Lender of making or maintaining an Advance for a relevant interest period or other relevant period, then:

27




(i)                                     the right of the Borrower to request an Advance shall be suspended until the Lender determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Lender so notifies the Borrower; and

(ii)                                  if any of the circumstances in Section 4.1(c) shall occur, the Borrower and the Lender shall, following the giving of notice by the Lender under this Section 4.1(c), endeavour to determine an alternative basis, which may, if such parties agree, include (without limitation) alternative rates of interest, alternative Interest Periods, alternative currencies or any combination thereof, for Advances. If the Borrower and the Lender are unable to agree on such alternative basis within a period of 30 days from the date of such notice by the Lender (provided that in any event such period shall not extend beyond the last day specified for giving a Borrowing Notice in respect of any Advance then outstanding or three Banking Days before any repayment date required under Applicable Law, as the case may be), the Lender shall determine an interest rate and specify an Interest Period (not exceeding one month) in respect of each Advance then outstanding, which interest rate shall be the cost to the Lender (as certified by the Lender to the Borrower) of funding any such Advance for the Interest Period so specified from such sources as it may reasonably select and the amount of any such Advance shall bear interest at the rate so determined. The provisions of this Section 4.1(c) shall apply only for so long as the circumstances in Section 4.1(c) shall exist.

4.2                               Calculation and Payment of Interest

Interest on Advances shall accrue from day to day, both before and after default, demand, maturity and judgment, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable to the Lender in arrears on the last day of the relevant Interest Period.

4.3                               Fees

(a)           Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender on the last Banking Day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date (each a “Commitment Fee Payment Date”), in arrears, a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to 100 basis points per annum of the amount, if any, by which the Loan Amount (taking into account any repayments or cancellations that have been made by the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereunder) exceeds the amount of the Loan (the “Unutilized Amount”) on each day in such Fiscal Quarter or the part thereof ending on the Termination Date, as applicable. The Commitment Fee on any Commitment Fee Payment Date shall be payable in respect of the period from and including the Closing Date or the preceding Commitment Fee Payment Date, as the case may be, to but excluding the next Commitment Fee Payment Date, and shall be calculated on a daily basis on the Unutilized Amount on each day during such period on the basis of the number of days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

(b)           Arrangement Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender, on the Closing Date, an arrangement fee (the “First Arrangement Fee”) of $2,400,000, being 3% of the Loan Amount. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, on February 29, 2008, an additional arrangement fee (the “Second Arrangement Fee”) of 1% of the Loan Amount.

4.4                               Payment of Costs and Expenses

Whether or not the Borrower takes advantage of the Bridge Loan, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, on demand, the following costs and expenses (collectively, the “Lender’s Costs”):

(a)                                  all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender (in the case of solicitors’ costs, on a full indemnity basis) in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements, any actual or proposed amendment or modification hereof or thereof or any waiver hereunder or thereunder and all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto and all reasonable documented due diligence expenses incurred in connection therewith (including any surveys or appraisals of the Mortgaged Properties reasonably undertaken by the Lender);

28




(b)                                 all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender (in the case of solicitors’ costs, on a full indemnity basis) in connection with obtaining advice as to the rights and responsibilities of the Lender under the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements; and

(c)                                  all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender (in the case of solicitors’ costs, on a full indemnity basis) in connection with the defence, establishment, protection or enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Lender under the Loan Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of establishing the validity and enforceability of, or of collection of amounts owing under, any of the Loan Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and all reasonable costs and expenses of any receiver or receiver-manager appointed by the Lender or any of the Lender or by a court in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements;

including, without limitation, all of the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other advisors to the Lender, its agents, and any such receiver or receiver-manager, on a full indemnity basis, incurred in connection therewith, including all sales, goods and services or value-added taxes payable by any of them on all such costs, expenses and compensation.

(l)            Legal Name and Chief Executive Office. The Borrower and each Guarantor has advised, or will advise within five Banking Days of the Closing Date, the Lender in writing of their respective chief executive offices and places of business. None of the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors conducts business under any corporate names other than its legal name, and the Borrower and each of the Guarantors have, in the past, held themselves out as separate entities and have conducted operations under their own respective names;

(m)          Solvency. The Borrower has not entered into the transactions hereunder or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor, and the Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Taking into account the Bridge Loan (and

33




assuming Advances requested by the Borrower are advanced by the Lender), the Fair Enterprise Investment and the Borrower Restructuring Plan, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors is solvent (as such term is used in all applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, fraudulent transfers and conveyances), able to pay its debts as such debts become due, has capital sufficient to carry on its businesses and transactions and all businesses and transactions in which it anticipates engaging, and the value of its property at a fair valuation is greater than the sum of its debts. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors will be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery to the Lender of the Loan Documents or by the transactions contemplated thereunder, and no: (i) assignment for the benefit of the creditors of any of them; (ii) appointment of a receiver for any of them or for the property of any of them; or (iii) bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation proceeding, is pending or threatened (whether voluntary or involuntary) or has been instituted by or against any of them;

(o)           Affiliate Transactions. Other than the transactions contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated in the Remington Construction Loan Agreement and the Gulfstream Construction Loan Agreement, since the date of the Unaudited Financial Statements, neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors has entered into any transaction or agreement with any Affiliate which is not the Borrower or a Guarantor;

(p)           No Litigation. There is no court, administrative, regulatory or similar proceeding (whether civil, quasi-criminal, or criminal), arbitration or other dispute settlement procedure; investigation or enquiry by any Governmental Body, or any similar matter or proceeding (collectively “proceedings”) against or involving the Borrower or any Guarantor (whether in progress or threatened), which, if determined adversely to the Borrower or any Guarantor, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which purports to affect the legality, validity and enforceability of any Loan Document to which the Borrower or any of the Guarantors is a party; to the Borrower’s knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any Governmental Body or other Person; to the Borrower’s knowledge, no event has occurred which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such proceedings; and there was no judgment, decree, injunction, rule, award or order of any Governmental Body outstanding against the Borrower or any of the Guarantors which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

(q)           No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is in default or breach under any Applicable Law or under any Material Agreement, or under the terms and conditions relating to any Material Authorizations, and there exists no state of facts which, after notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach; in all cases where such default or breach could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and there are no proceedings in progress, pending or threatened which could reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, suspension or any adverse modification of any Material Authorization;

(r)            Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(s)           No Labour Disturbance. No labour disturbance by the employees of the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries or by any horse owners or trainers exists or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, is imminent, in each case, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(t)            Taxes. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and the Guarantors have accurately prepared and timely filed all federal, state, provincial and other tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid or made provision for the payment of all Taxes except those Taxes that are being disputed in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which the Borrower or any Guarantor has established on its books reserves considered by it to be adequate therefor, and including, without limitation, all Taxes that the Borrower or any Guarantor is obligated to withhold from amounts owing to employees, creditors and third parties, with respect to the periods covered by such tax returns (whether or not such amounts are shown as due on any tax return). No deficiency assessment with respect to a proposed adjustment of the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s federal, state, provincial or other Taxes is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any

34




Guarantor, threatened. There was no tax Lien, whether imposed by any federal, state, provincial or other taxing authority, outstanding against the assets, properties or business of the Borrower or any Guarantor other than Permitted Encumbrances;

(u)           Material Assets. The Borrower and each of the Guarantors owns or licenses or otherwise has legally enforceable rights to use, under validly existing agreements, all material assets (including all real property, patents, licences, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, service marks, copyrights and all rights with respect thereto), contracts, and other documents necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted and that (a) all such assets (other than permits and licences) have been assigned, pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered pursuant to the Security and (b) all permits and licences are subject to a negative pledge; provided that the names “Palm Meadows” and “Dixon Downs” are owned by MEC and have been licensed to the applicable entity;

(v)           Material Agreements. The list of Material Agreements included on the Disclosure Schedule (as the same may be supplemented and amended from time to time) constitutes all of the Material Agreements now in existence for the Borrower and the Guarantors. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantors nor, to the best knowledge of the Borrower and the Guarantors, any other party thereto, is in breach of or in default of any material obligation thereunder except those in respect of which the Borrower has advised the Lender in writing from time to time and of which the Lender has indicated in writing its satisfaction. To the best knowledge of the Borrower and the Guarantors, the Material Agreements are in good standing and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under any of the Material Agreements;

(w)          Investments. Except as disclosed in the Audited and Unaudited Financial Statements, none of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has loans to or investments in any Person in excess of $1,000,000, nor have any of them given any guarantee or incurred any liability in connection with the indebtedness of any Person in excess of $1,000,000;

(x)            ERISA. (i) the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA which would result in any material liability accruing to the Borrower or its ERISA Affiliates, (ii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has violated any provision of any Plan, (iii) no Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan initiated by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, (iv) the Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates have met their minimum funding requirements under ERISA with respect to each Plan, and (v) each Plan was able to fulfill its current benefit obligations as they come due in accordance with the Plan documents;

Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is an “investment company”, or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; provided that with respect to “affiliated persons” this representation is made solely to the best knowledge of the Borrower and the best knowledge of each of the Guarantors, without any investigation, with respect to the holders of publicly traded securities of the Borrower and provided that no representation is made herein with respect to Magna International Inc. or MID and the holders of their securities. Neither the making of any Advances, nor the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by the Borrower, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Securities Commission thereunder;

(z)            Margin Regulations. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is engaged, nor will any of them engage, principally or as one of its primary activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U, and neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors owns margin stock which, in each case, in the aggregate, would constitute over 25% of the assets of such Person and no proceeds of the Loan will be used to purchase or carry, directly or indirectly, any margin stock or to extend credit, directly or indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock;

(aa)         Foreign Ownership. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors is or will be a “foreign corporation”, “foreign partnership”, “foreign trust”, “foreign estate”, “foreign person”, “affiliate” of a “foreign person” or a “United States intermediary” of a “foreign person” within the meaning of the IRC, Sections 897

(ee)         Adequate Insurance. All of the property of the Borrower and the Guarantors is insured with good and responsible companies against fire and other casualties in the same manner and to the same extent as such insurance is usually carried by Persons carrying on a similar business and owning similar property located in the same general area as the property owned by the Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, including the Properties, and the Borrower and each of the Guarantors maintains or causes to be maintained with good and responsible insurance companies adequate insurance against business interruption with respect to the operations of all of such property and liability on account of damage to Persons or property, including damage resulting from product liability, and under all applicable workers’ compensation laws, in the same manner and to the same extent as such insurance is usually carried by Persons carrying on a similar business and owning similar property;

(ii)           withhold and collect all Taxes required to be withheld and collected by it and remit such Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Body at the time and in the manner required; and

(iii)          pay and discharge all obligations incidental to any trust imposed upon it by statute which, if unpaid, might become a Lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon any of its Properties;

except that no such Taxes or obligations need be paid, collected or remitted if (i) it is being actively and diligently contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings, (ii) reserves considered adequate by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall have been set aside therefor on its books, and (iii) such Taxes or obligation shall not have resulted in a Lien other than a Permitted Encumbrance, for which any enforcement proceedings, if commenced, shall have been stayed and, in any event, appropriate security shall have been given, if required, to prevent the commencement or continuation of proceedings;

(s)           Tax Deposits. Upon written direction from the Lender after the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default which remains uncured, the Borrower shall immediately commence to deposit with the Lender commencing with the first interest payment due under the Loan and on the first day of each month thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date that the Indebtedness is fully paid and (ii) the Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has been cured, a sum equal to one-twelfth ( 1/12) of the total annual taxes and assessments (general and special) respecting each of the Properties and the costs of insurance premiums, based upon the Lender’s reasonable estimate as to the amount of the taxes, assessments and premiums to be levied, assessed and incurred (except to the extent, and only to the extent, that, in respect of the Golden Gate Property and/or the Santa Anita Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor is making such payments to BMO and/or Wells Fargo, as the case may be, pursuant to the BMO Credit Agreement and/or the Santa Anita Senior Credit Facility). The Borrower’s initial deposit shall be increased by an amount equal to the Lender’s reasonable estimate of the amount of such taxes and insurance premiums to become owing on the due dates for the payment of such taxes and insurance premiums less the monthly payments to be deposited hereunder prior to such due dates. If any such taxes or insurance premiums relating to each of the Properties are also related to other premises, the amount of any deposit hereunder shall be based upon the Borrower’s and/or any Guarantor’s share of the taxes, assessments or insurance premiums, the Borrower shall apportion the total amount of the taxes, assessments or premiums levied or assessed as between such other premises and each of the Properties for the purposes of computing the amount of any deposit hereunder. Such deposits shall be held without any allowance of interest. Such deposits shall be used for the payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums on each of the Properties on the earliest possible date when such payments become due. If the funds so deposited are insufficient to pay any such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for any year when the same shall become due and payable, the Borrower shall, within 10 Banking Days after receipt of demand therefor from the Lender, deposit such additional funds as may be necessary to pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums in full. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for the year, the excess shall be applied on a subsequent deposit or deposits. Said deposits shall be kept in a separate, non-interest bearing account created by and in the name of the Lender. Upon the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default, the Lender may, at its option, without being required to do so, apply any monies at the time on deposit pursuant to this Section 6.1(s) on any of the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as the Lender may elect. When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining deposits shall be paid to the Borrower. A security interest within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Borrower is organized as a legal entity is hereby granted to the Lender in and to any monies at any time on deposit pursuant to this Section 6.1(s), as additional security for the Indebtedness. Such funds shall be applied by the Lender for the purposes made hereunder and shall not be subject to the direction or control of the Borrower. The Lender shall not be liable for any failure to apply the funds so deposited hereunder to the payment of any particular taxes, assessments and insurance premiums unless the Borrower, while not in default hereunder, shall have requested the Lender in writing to make application of such funds to the payment of the particular taxes, assessments or premiums for payment of which they were deposited, accompanied by the bills for such taxes, assessments or premiums. The Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission taken in good faith or pursuant to the instruction of any party, but shall be liable only for gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

44




(t)            Preserve Security. The Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall upon reasonable request in writing by the Lender do, observe and perform all matters and things reasonably within its powers necessary or expedient to be done, observed or performed for the purpose of maintaining and preserving the security interest of the Lender as provided for herein and in the Security as valid security, perfected in the manner contemplated hereby and in the Security;

The Borrower and the Guarantors shall at all times defend the Lender’s interest in and to the Properties, and the priority position of said interest subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, against any and all claims of any Person adverse to the Lender.

9.7                               Further Assurances

Whether before or after the happening of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall at its own expense do, make, execute or deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered by its Subsidiaries or other Persons, all such further acts, documents and things in connection with the Bridge Loan and the Loan Documents as the Lender may reasonably require from time to time for the purpose of giving effect to the Loan Documents all within a reasonable period of time following the request of the Lender.

9.8                               Assignment

The Loan Documents shall enure to the benefit of the Lender, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Guarantors, and their respective successors and assigns. Neither the Borrower nor either of the Guarantors shall assign, sell, convey or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Loan or the Loan Documents. The Lender, may assign, sell, convey, grant participations in, pledge, or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents as follows (each a “Permitted Lender Assignee”): (a) at any time, to any Affiliate of the Lender, without the Borrower’s or the Guarantors’ consent; (b) at any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any third party, without the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s consent; and (c) at any time, with the Borrower’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Any Permitted Lender Assignee shall provide written notice to the Borrower and the Guarantors of such assignment and its assumption of the obligations of the Lender hereunder and thereafter shall be entitled to the performance of all of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ agreements and obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents and shall be entitled to enforce all the rights and remedies of the Lender under the Loan Documents, for the benefit of such Permitted Lender Assignee, as fully as if such Permitted Lender Assignee was herein by name specifically given such rights and remedies. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly agrees that it will assert no claims or defenses that it may have against the Lender against any Permitted Lender Assignee, except those specifically available under this Agreement. In the event that the Borrower or any Guarantor shall become directly liable for any additional charges or levies by any governmental or regulatory authority in consequence of the operation of this Section 9.8, the Borrower shall give the Lender notice thereof and thereafter the Lender shall indemnify the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, in full for any such charges or levies. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall be given written notice of any such assignment. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall cooperate with and perform the reasonable requirements of the Permitted Lender Assignee, but the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements relating directly to or arising directly out of any such assignment shall not be the expense of the Borrower or the Guarantors.

9.9                               Disclosure of Information to Potential Permitted Lender Assignees

The Borrower and the Guarantors agree that the Lender shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to make available to any potential Permitted Lender Assignee any and all information which the Lender may have pursuant to the Loan Documents, provided such disclosure is not in violation of any applicable securities laws, rules or regulations and such potential Permitted Lender Assignee enters into a typical and customary confidentiality agreement in favour of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

9.10                        Right to Cure

The Lender may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion (but shall have no obligation to do so), for the Borrower’s account and at the Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of the Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder or required under the Loan Documents or requested by the Lender to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce any Loan, any of the Properties or any other Collateral, and which the Borrower or a Guarantor fails to pay or do or cause to be paid or done, including, without limitation, payment of insurance premiums, taxes or assessments, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, landlord’s claim, and any other lien upon or with respect to the Properties or any other Collateral. Any payment made or other action taken by the Lender pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to pursue the Lender’s other rights and remedies with respect thereto.

9.11                        Forbearance by the Lender Not a Waiver

Any forbearance by the Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise afforded by Applicable Law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The Lender’s

68




acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the Loan Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by the Lender shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right to accelerate the maturity of the Bridge Loan, nor shall the Lender’s receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages operate to cure or waive the Borrower’s or any of the Guarantors’ default in payment or sums secured by any of the Loan Documents. With respect to all Loan Documents, only waivers made in writing by the Lender shall be effective against the Lender.

9.12                        Waiver of Statute of Limitations and Other Defenses

The Borrower and Guarantors hereby waive the right to assert any statute of limitations or any other defense as a bar to the enforcement of the lien created by any of the Loan Documents or to any action brought to enforce any obligation secured by any of the Loan Documents.

9.13                        Relationship

The relationship between the Lender and the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be that of creditor-debtor only. No term in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, nor any shareholder or other Affiliate relationship between the parties, and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by the Lender to any other party.

9.14                        Time of Essence

Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and the performance of each of the covenants and agreement contained herein and therein.

9.15                        Service of Process/Venue

The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby consents to service of process, and to be sued, in the State of New York and consents to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts where the Properties are located as well as the jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any suit, or other proceeding arising out of any of their obligations hereunder, and expressly waive any and all objections they may have as to venue in any such courts. Further, in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, suits to enforce this Agreement or in any way relating to the subject matter of this Agreement may be brought by the Lender in any court located within the State or County where any of the Properties is located or in the United States District Court having jurisdiction over all or any portion of the Properties.

9.16                        Jury Trial Waiver

THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE LENDER, THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE LENDER NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE LENDER HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INCLUDE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR HAS TAKEN ANY ACTIONS WHICH IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT. THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH OF THEM WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND LENDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

69




9.17                        Final Agreement/Modification

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents is intended as the final expression of the agreement between the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Lender. All prior discussions, negotiations and agreements are of no further force and effect. This Agreement can be modified only in writing executed by all parties and the written agreement may not be contradicted by any evidence of any alleged oral agreement.

9.18                        Continuing Agreement

This Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the death, incompetence or dissolution of any of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors).

9.19                        No Third Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement, the Security and the other Loan Documents are made for the sole benefit of the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantors, and no other party shall have any legal interest of any kind under or by reason of any of the foregoing. Whether or not the Lender elects to employ any or all the rights, powers or remedies available to it under any of the foregoing, the Lender shall have no obligation or liability of any kind to any third party by reason of any of the foregoing or any of the Lender’s actions or omissions pursuant thereto or otherwise in connection with this transaction.

9.20                        No Brokers

Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender on the other hand, warrants and represents to the other that it has not employed any broker or agent in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender on the other hand, shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from any loss or cost suffered or incurred by it as a result of any commission owed to any broker or agent claiming a commission due as a result of representing such party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect hereto.

9.21                        Execution in Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

9.22                        Contribution by Guarantors with Respect to Obligations.

To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment (a “Guarantor Payment”) under its Guarantee and Indemnity given in connection with this Agreement, which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Obligations, and termination of this Agreement, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Guarantor under its Guarantee and Indemnity given in connection with this Agreement without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

This 9.22 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 9.22 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same

70




shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the respective Guarantees and Indemnity given by each of them in connection with this Agreement.

The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 9.22 shall be exercisable only upon the full and irrevocable payment of the Obligations in cash and the termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the termination of the Loan commitment hereunder.

9.23                        Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Agents; and Captions

The covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents shall bind, and the rights thereunder shall inure to, the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantors, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to Section 9.22, all covenants and agreements of the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be joint and several. In exercising any rights under the Loan Documents or taking any actions provided for therein, the Lender may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by the Lender.

9.24                        Loss of Borrower Note

Upon notice from the Lender of the loss, theft, or destruction of the Borrower Note and upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower from the Lender, or in the case of mutilation of the Borrower Note, upon surrender of the mutilated Borrower Note, the Borrower shall make and deliver a new note of like tenor in lieu of the then to be superseded Borrower Note.

9.25                        Acknowledgment

THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS THOROUGHLY READ AND REVIEWED THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE ATTACHED SCHEDULES AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND IS FAMILIAR WITH THE TERMS OF SAME; THAT THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY READ BY THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR AND ARE CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD AND FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTED TO BY THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR.
