Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.18 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such

Lenders.
C. While the bulk of the costs of the Project are to be financed using the Companies’ equity,

made pursuant to the Retail Facility. The Resort Budget includes the costs of all elements of the

and covenants of the Project Entities in favor of the Funding Agents and the Lenders and

Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 15 of 39
made in amounts sufficient to pay:
(a) Debt Service that will become due and payable under each of the
Bank Credit Agreement and the Second Mortgage Notes on or after the
requested Advance Date and prior to the immediately succeeding Advance
Date (other than Debt Service on the Second Mortgage Notes to be paid
directly out of the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account and Debt
Service on the Bank Credit Facility to be paid directly out of the Bank
Proceeds Account, in each case as provided in Section 2.6.4 and Section
3.3, and only to the extent that such interest accrues prior to the Opening

Second Mortgage Proceeds Account Advance Requests will not be required to
be accompanied by any General Contractor’s Advance Certificate or Architect’s
Advance Certificate or any other certificates or attachments set forth on Exhibit
C-1; it being understood that Advance Requests issued prior to such date will not

information other than as set forth in Section 3.2).
2.4.4

Consultant shall review the Advance Request and attachments thereto to
determine whether all required documentation has been provided, and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Project Entities of
any deficiency within three Banking Days after delivery thereof by the
Project Entities, it being acknowledged that any failure to notify the
Project Entities of any deficiency in the Advance Request so delivered
within the aforesaid time period shall not be deemed an approval thereof.

Proceeds Account and each subsequent Advance, the Construction

W02-WEST:LAR\400308993 14
-8-
Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 16 of 39
including work estimated to be completed through the applicable Advance
Date as such work is being performed. Not later than four Banking Days
prior to the requested Advance Date for any such Advance, the
Construction Consultant shall deliver to the Disbursement Agent (with a
copy to the Project Entities) a Construction Consultant Advance
Certificate either approving or disapproving the Advance Request;
provided that if the Construction Consnltant disapproves one or more
particular payments or disbursements to any Contractor or Subcontractor
requested by the Advance Request, but the Advance Request otherwise
complies with the requirements hereof, then the Advance Request shall be
deemed approved with respect to all payments and disbursements
requested therein other than the particular payments or disbursements so
disapproved. If the Construction Consultant disapproves the Advance
Request or any one or more particular payments requested therein, the
Construction Consultant shall provide the Project Entities, in reasonable
detail, its reasons for such disapproval, however the failure of the
Construction Consultant to do so shall not be deemed approval of any such
payment.
(c) Debt Service Notifications. The Bank Agent and the Trustee may
deliver notices correcting the amount of the Debt Service due to each of
them on the relevant Advance Date to the Disbursement Agent.
The Disbursement Agent shall use reasonable diligence to assure that the
Construction Consultant performs its review of the materials required by this
Section 2.4 and delivers its Construction Consultant Advance Certificate, and that
the Disbursement Agent’s own review of the materials required by this Section 2.4
is finalized, in each case not less than three Banking Days prior to the Scheduled
Advance Date. In the event that the Construction Consultant approves only a
portion of the payments or disbursements requested by the Advance Request or
the Disbursement Agent finds any minor or purely mathematical errors or
inaccuracies in the Advance Request or supporting materials, the Disbursement
Agent may require the Project Entities to revise and resubmit the same.
2.4.5 Su_RRplementation of Advance Requests. In the event that the Project
Entities obtain additional infor~nation or documentation or discover any errors in
or updates required to be made to any Advance Request prior to the Schednled
Advance Date, the Project Entities may, with the approval of the Disbursement
Agent and the Construction Consultant, revise and resubmit such Advance

occurred and remains continuing.

Project Entities’ calculation of the In Balance Test in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the Disbursement Agent and the Bamk Agent. The Disbursement
Agent, the Construction Consultant and the Bank Agent shall promptly review
any such request submitted by the Project Entities and, provided that the
Disbursement Agent, the Construction Consultant and the Bank Agent agree with
the Project Entities calculations submitted pursuant to this Section, the
Disbursement Agent shall promptly and in any event within ten Banking Days

certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Project Entities.

with counsel and any written opinion of counsel shall be full and complete

9.3.8 Disagreements.
(a) In the event of any disagreement between a Funding Agent and the
Project Entities or any other Person or Persons whether or not named
herein, and adverse claims or demands are made in connection with or for
any of the invest~nents or amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or
under any Control Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled at
its option to refuse to comply with any such claim or demand so long as
such disagreement shall continue, and in so doing, the Disbursement
Agent shall not be or become liable for damages or interest to such
Funding Agent or the Project Entities or any other Person or Persons for
the Disbursement Agent’s failure or refusal to comply with such
conflicting or adverse claims or demands. The Disbursement Agent shall
be entitled to continue so to refrain and refuse so to act until:
(i) the rights of the adverse claimants have been fully
adjudicated in the court assuming and having jurisdiction of the
claimants and the investments and amounts held pursuant to this
Agreement or under any Control Agreement; or
(ii) all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement, and
the Disbursement Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing
by all persons deemed by the Disbursement Agent, in its sole
discretion, to have an interest therein.
(b) In addition, the Disbursement Agent may file a suit in interpleader
for the purpose of having the respective rights of all claimants adjudicated,
and may deposit with the court all of the investments and amounts held

-84-
Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-7 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 5 of 43
by law. To the extent that the Disbursement Agent also acts as securities intermediary, (a) the
Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all fimds and other assets in the Accounts
described in Section 2.2, have been pledged to the Secured Parties (as their interests appear in the
matrix set forth in that Section) and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such
Secured Parties. Accordingly, it is the intention of the parties that all such funds and assets shall
not be within the balflcruptcy "estate" (as such term is used in 11 U.S.C. § 541) of the
Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on
any monies received by it hereunder, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement. The

reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness (and
shall be deemed permitted indebtedness under each Financing Agreement) hereunder and shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Agreement.
