1.             The amount to be prepaid (the “Prepayment Amount”) shall be an amount equal to (i) the outstanding Loan principal of $80 million; plus (ii) the aggregate amount of interest on such principal at the Interest Rate (as defined below) that would otherwise be payable,

 

2



 

if the Loan were not being prepaid, in respect of the Prepayment Period, as defined in paragraph 3 of this Article II.

 

2.             The “Interest Rate” shall be equal to (1) one-month LIBOR (as determined in accordance with the definition set forth in the Loan Agreement) as in effect three London banking days prior to the Closing Date (which interest determination date the parties anticipate will be May 18, 2005, plus (2) twenty-nine (29 %) per cent per annum, and shall be calculated in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

3.             The “Prepayment Period” shall equal (a) the period extending from the Closing Date (i.e., the date of prepayment) until the Maturity Date, minus (b) 8.5 months (calculated from the Maturity Date).

 

4.             The “Closing Date” shall be May 23, 2005.

 

5.             On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall, (i) pay the Prepayment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account designated by the Lender, (ii) pay any of Lender’s expenses then due, (iii) enter into a Marketing Side Letter Agreement with Whiteswan Limited, an Isle of Man company, addressing the matters described in Exhibit D and (iv) furnish the legal opinions described in paragraph 5 of Article V hereof (collectively, the “Closing Deliveries”).  Upon receipt thereof, Lender shall execute one or more instruments, in form reasonably satisfactory to the parties, terminating the Loan Documents, releasing all collateral for the Loan, including amounts on deposit in the Sinking Fund, and shall instruct First American Title Insurance Company to release to Borrower all funds and documents currently held by it in escrow, net of such escrow agent’s fees and expenses.  At its option, the Borrower may elect to apply amounts on deposit in the Sinking Fund toward payment of the Prepayment Amount on the Closing Date.

 

6.             The Borrower shall deliver the Closing Deliveries, and otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth in this Agreement, provided, however, that the obligation to pay the Prepayment Amount shall be an obligation solely of the Borrower and shall not be a recourse obligation of the Nation, its assets and revenues.

7.             Prior to and including the Closing Date, the Borrower shall continue to make all interest payments and sinking fund deposits due and payable at the times and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.  All interest that is accrued and unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be paid on the Closing Date, and shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

ARTICLE III

 

                Indemnification

Borrower and the Nation, subject to the proviso at the end of this paragraph, hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan, the Loan Documents or this Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein or herein, including (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party, if the claim, demand, action or cause of action directly or indirectly relates to a claim, demand, action or cause of action that such Person asserts or may assert against Borrower (or, to the extent related to the Loan, the Loan Documents or this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Affiliate of Borrower or any officer of Borrower); (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action by a third party if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to the Loan, the Loan Documents or this Agreement or the relationship of Borrower and/or the Nation and the Lender under the Loan Documents or this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, including any action by any party seeking to interfere with the purposes of this Agreement, whether arising before or after the Closing Date; (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a) or (b) above; and (d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless Borrower is materially prejudiced thereby (and then only to the extent prejudiced).  Each Indemnitee may

contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action with counsel selected by such Indemnitee.  Each Indemnitee is authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights hereunder and in defending any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section; provided that each Indemnitee shall endeavor in connection with any matter covered by this Section which also involves other Indemnitees, to use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees.  Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the prepayment of the Loan contemplated hereby and the payment and performance of all other obligations under the Loan Documents owed to the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations of the Nation under this paragraph shall only apply if Borrower is no longer owner and operator of the Casino.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

                Waivers, Consents and Jurisdiction

Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Lender, and then only to the extent therein set forth.  A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion.  Neither failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

1.             Waiver by Borrower of Immunity and Consent to Suit.  In accordance with the resolution of the Borrower dated May __, 2005, a copy of which is attached in Exhibit A hereto, the Borrower hereby, and solely in favor of Lender, irrevocably waives its sovereign immunity (and any defense based thereon) from any suit, action or proceeding or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to the judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, exercise of contempt powers or otherwise) in any forum with respect to this Agreement and any of the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and Lender with respect thereto shall have all available legal and equitable remedies, including, without limitation, the right of Lender to specific performance, money damages and/or injunctive and declaratory relief, and Borrower, and solely in favor of Lender, expressly consents to the exercise of jurisdiction over such action and over Borrower, and to the extent permitted by Federal law, the exercise of in rem jurisdiction over the available assets and income, of Borrower, by the courts of the State of New York and the courts of any other state or of the United States which may have jurisdiction over the subject matter.  Furthermore, Borrower, and solely in favor of Lender, waives any requirement of exhaustion of tribal remedies, and agrees that Borrower will not present any affirmative defense in any dispute based on any alleged failure to exhaust such remedies.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

5



 

Borrower expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered by any court, to take such action, including, without limitation, giving effect to any judgment entered.

2.             Waiver by Nation of Immunity and Consent to Suit.  In accordance with the resolution of the Nation dated April __, 2005, a copy of which is attached in Exhibit A hereto, the Nation hereby, and solely in favor of Lender, irrevocably waives its sovereign immunity (and any defense based thereon) from any suit, action or proceeding or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to the judgment, attachment in aid of execution, exercise of contempt powers or otherwise) in any forum with respect to this Agreement and any of the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and Lender with respect thereto shall have all available legal and equitable remedies, including, without limitation, the right of Lender to specific performance and/or injunctive and declaratory relief, and the Nation, and solely in favor of Lender, expressly consents to the exercise of jurisdiction over such action and over the Borrower and the Nation, and to the extent permitted by Federal law, the exercise of in rem jurisdiction over the available assets and income, of the Borrower, by the courts of the State of New York and the courts of any other state or of the United States which may have jurisdiction over the subject matter.  Furthermore, the Nation, and solely in favor of Lender, waives any requirement of exhaustion of tribal remedies, and agrees that the Nation will not present any affirmative defense in any dispute based on any alleged failure to exhaust such remedies.  Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Nation expressly authorizes any governmental authorities who have the right and duty under applicable law to take any action authorized or ordered by any court, to take such action, including, without limitation, giving effect to any judgment entered.

3.             Personal Jurisdiction and Service of Process.  Borrower, the Nation and Lender hereby irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in any court of the State of New York or any federal court sitting in the State of New York, and hereby waive any claim either may have that such court is an inconvenient forum for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, which is brought by the Lender against the Borrower and/or the Nation, or by the Borrower and/or the Nation against the Lender, as the case may be, and hereby agree that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding may be heard or determined in any such court; and each of Borrower, the Nation and the Lender further consent to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower, the Nation or the Lender at its address (including the addresses of their respective attorneys) set forth herein for the giving of notices, such service to become effective ten (10) business days after such mailing.

4.             Jurisdiction and Governing Law.  Except as otherwise provided by applicable federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of New York (including without limitation the UCC).  The courts of the State of New York and (to the extent jurisdiction over the subject matter is vested in them by the laws of the United States) any federal

 

6



 

court sitting in the State of New York, may exercise jurisdiction over any action, suit or proceeding arising with respect to enforcement, construction, termination or modification of this Agreement.  Borrower and the Nation are expressly and irrevocably prohibited from asserting that any of the Nation’s tribal courts (whether now or hereafter existing) or other forums (whether now or hereafter existing) of the Nation should exercise jurisdiction over any suit, action or proceeding, and Borrower and the Nation hereby waive any claim or right to assert such jurisdiction and any requirement that tribal remedies be exhausted is hereby waived.

5.             Waiver of Trial by Jury.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

6.             Effect of Waivers and Consents.  THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE IV SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE LENDER AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO IS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE INDEMNITEES).  THE LENDER AND THE INDEMNITEES SHALL HAVE AND BE ENTITLED TO ALL AVAILABLE LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, MONEY DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE OR DECLARATORY RELIEF.  THE WAIVERS OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND CONSENTS TO JURISDICTION CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE IV ARE IRREVOCABLE AND ARE SOLELY IN FAVOR OF AND WITH RESPECT TO SUITS, ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS OR PROCESSES BROUGHT BY LENDER.
