After giving effect to the Acquisition, Holdings will be a holding company that directly owns, and the sole asset of which is, all of the equity interests in the Borrower referred to below. As used herein, the term “Borrower” shall mean (x) at any time prior to the consummation of the Merger, Newco and (y) on and after the consummation of the Merger, Target or Newco as the surviving corporation of the Merger.
          In order to effect the Acquisition and the Refinancing, to pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction (as defined below) and to provide for the working capital needs and general corporate requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the Acquisition (i) equity contributions shall be made to Holdings by the Equity Investors (which shall consist of at least $860.5 million of cash (of which at least $760.5 million shall be funded at the Closing Date), rollover equity provided by World Leisure Group and Howard B.

between Column Financial, Inc. and you; provided that, to the extent that less than $2,380 million of gross cash proceeds are actually provided on the Closing Date (as defined below) from the CMBS, the amount needed to fund the “Maximum Interim Funding Amount” (as defined below), at the option of the Borrower, instead may be provided through a temporary increase of the Term Loan Facility (such increase, the “Interim Term Loan Amount”), and (iii) the Borrower intends to obtain a senior secured credit facility made available to the Borrower in the aggregate amount of $575 million (the “Senior Secured Financing”) (with the transactions described in preceding clauses (i) through (iii), as more fully described in the Term Sheet (as defined below), being herein collectively referred to as the “Financing Transactions” and, together with the Acquisition and the Refinancing, being herein collectively referred to as the “Transaction”). The “Maximum Interim Funding Amount” shall mean the sum of the amount needed to: (i) fund the Acquisition and the Refinancing (net of the $1,500 million of required equity, the amount of any funded CMBS and the $250 million of the Term Facility), (ii) pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction (but not for other uses), and (iii) fund into a reserve account controlled by the Agents ninety (90) days of estimated working capital for Holdings and its subsidiaries (the amount to be reasonably approved by the Agents, which as of the date hereof based on the budget provided to the Agents would be approximately $320 million assuming a closing on or about June 30, 2006), which working capital would be released to the Borrower in accordance with the budget approved by the Agents (the “Working Capital Reserve”). All funds required to finance the Acquisition and Refinancing, and to pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction, shall be provided pursuant to the Financing Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in the Term Sheet, in the event that (i) the Existing Notes Tender Offer is consummated on or prior to the Closing Date and less than 100% of the Existing Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Existing Notes Tender Offer, CS and DB shall be entitled to reduce their commitments under the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of (and unpaid tender premiums associated with) the Non-Tendered Existing Notes or (ii) the Existing Note Tender Offer is not consummated on or prior to the Closing Date, on the date which occurs on the earlier of (x) the completion of the Existing Note Tender Offer or (y) 60 days following the Closing Date, the Lenders (as defined below) shall be entitled to reduce their commitments or require mandatory repayments of the Credit Facilities (as defined below) in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of (and unpaid tender premiums associated with) the Existing Notes which remain outstanding on such date.
          We understand that the Senior Secured Financing shall consist of (i) a $250 million “B” term loan facility (the “Permanent Term Loan Facility”), as such amount may be increased by the Interim Term Loan Amount described above (the “Term Loan Facility”), (ii) a $150 million delayed draw term facility (the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) a $175 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”); it being understood that (x) all of the Term Loan Facility shall be drawn on the closing date of the Acquisition (the date of such drawing, the “Closing Date”) and (y) subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet (defined below), a portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the Agents may be utilized to make payments owing to effect the Acquisition or the Refinancing or to pay any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction. A summary of the principal terms and the conditions of the Credit Facilities is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and certain conditions

-3-


 

precedent for the Credit Facilities are described in Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “Term Sheet”).
          Each of Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch (“CS”) and Deutsche Bank AG — Cayman Islands Branch (“DB”) (each a “Commitment Party” and, collectively, the “Commitment Parties”) is pleased to confirm that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet, it hereby severally (and not jointly) commits to provide 50% and 50%, respectively, of the Senior Secured Financing (with the commitment of each Commitment Party to be allocated ratably among the tranches comprising the Credit Facilities). It is agreed that (i) CS will act as sole Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for a syndicate of lenders reasonably satisfactory to you who will participate in the Senior Secured Financing (together with CS and DB, the “Lenders”), (ii) CS Securities and DB Securities will act as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Running Managers (with CS Securities on the “left”) for the Senior Secured Financing (in such capacity, collectively, the “Joint Lead Arrangers”) and (iii) DB Securities will act as Syndication Agent for the Senior Secured Financing (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”). It is agreed that you may appoint up to three additional Joint Lead Arrangers (with CS Securities remaining “left” and DB Securities listed second), and may award up to five agent titles (inclusive of CS Securities, DB Securities and any other Joint Lead Arrangers appointed as contemplated above), in each case in consultation with CS Securities and DB Securities and with economic allocations to be mutually agreed (provided that in no event shall any persons other than CS Securities and DB Securities receive league table credit with respect to the Senior Secured Financing and provided further that Abu Dhabi Central Bank, to the extent that they participate, will be entitled to joint lead arranger and joint book running titles and will receive full fees for any amounts to which they commit). You agree that, except as contemplated by the immediately preceding two sentences, no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Senior Secured Financing unless you and we shall so agree.
          Each Commitment Party reserves the right to syndicate all or part of its commitment hereunder to one or more other Lenders that will become party to the definitive credit documentation for the Senior Secured Financing pursuant to a syndication to be managed by the Agents in active consultation with you. All aspects of the syndication of the Senior Secured Financing, including, without limitation, timing, potential syndicate members to be approached, titles, allocations and division of fees, shall be managed by the Agents in active consultation with you. You agree to actively assist the Agents in such syndication, including by using your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Agents’ syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships and to provide the Agents and the Lenders, promptly upon request, with all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Agents to complete successfully the syndication, including, but not limited to, (a) an information package for delivery to potential syndicate members and participants and (b) projections and all information prepared by you or your affiliates or advisors relating to the transactions described herein. You agree, at the request of CS Securities, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Confidential Information Memorandum and other marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities, consisting of exclusively of information and documentation that is either (i) publicly available (or contained in other

-4-


 

securities offering documents related to the Acquisition) or (ii) not material with respect to Holdings, the Target, the Borrower or their respective subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal or other securities laws mutually agreed to be relevant. You also agree to make available your representatives, and to cause the senior officers and representatives of Holdings, the Target and the Borrower to be available, in each case from time to time, and to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of Holdings, Target, the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries to ratings agencies identified by the Agents and at a meeting or meetings of Lenders or prospective Lenders at such times and places as the Agents may reasonably request. The provisions of the preceding two sentences shall remain in full force and effect until the completion of the successful syndication of the Senior Secured Financing (as determined by the Agents). Furthermore, you agree to use your reasonable best efforts to obtain ratings for the Senior Secured Financing (in each case which may be of any level) from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investor’s Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Notwithstanding the Agents’ rights to syndicate the Credit Facilities and receive commitments with respect thereto, the Commitment Parties may not assign all or any portion of their respective commitments hereunder prior to the initial funding under the Senior Secured Financing on the Closing Date. You agree to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to satisfy the conditions precedent to the initial funding under the CMBS Commitment, and to refrain from and not permit or suffer to exist or occur any action or omission inconsistent with the timely closing of funding pursuant to the CMBS Commitment. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, CS’ and DB’s obligation to fund the commitments hereunder on the Closing Date is not subject to syndication of the Credit Facilities.
          You represent and warrant that, to the best of your knowledge, (i) no written information which has been or is hereafter furnished by you or on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) no other information given at information meetings for potential syndicate members and supplied or approved by you or on your behalf (such written information and other information being referred to herein collectively as the “Information”) taken as a whole contained (or, in the case of Information furnished after the date hereof, will contain), as of the time it was (or hereafter is) furnished, any untrue statement of material fact or omitted (or will omit) as of such time to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein taken as a whole not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were (or hereafter are) made; provided that, with respect to Information consisting of statements, estimates and projections regarding the future performance of Holdings, Target, the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, the “Projections”), no representation or warranty is made other than that the Projections have been (and, in the case of Projections furnished after the date hereof, will be) prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation thereof (it being understood that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control and that no assurance can be given that such Projections will be realized). You agree to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the date of the initial borrowing under the Senior Secured Financing, as appropriate, so that the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence remain correct. You understand that, in syndicating the Senior Secured Financing, the Agents will use and rely on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof.

          Each Agent’s commitments and agreements hereunder are subject solely to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet. Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter (as defined below), the fee letters of even date herewith among the parties hereto (the “Fee Letters”), the definitive credit documentation for the Senior Secured Financing or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the Transaction to the contrary, (i) the only representations relating to the Target (or the Borrower, as the case may be), its subsidiaries and their businesses the making of which shall be a condition to availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations made by the Target in the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 30, 2006, by and among the Target, you and K-Two Subco Limited (as amended, the “Acquisition Agreement”) as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you have the right to terminate your obligations under the Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations in the Acquisition Agreement, and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the definitive credit documentation for the Senior Secured Financing shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet are satisfied (it being understood that to the extent any Guarantee or any security interest, mortgage or other lien in the intended collateral or any deliverable related to the perfection of security interests, mortgage or other lien in the intended collateral (other than any collateral the security interest, mortgage or other lien in which may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement) is not provided on the Closing Date after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the provision of such Guarantee or security interest(s), mortgage(s) or other lien(s) or deliverable shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date but shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements described in the Term Sheet). “Specified Representations” means the representations of the Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined in the Term Sheet) set forth in the Term Sheet and relating to corporate power and authority to enter into the documentation relating to the Credit Facilities, due execution, delivery and enforceability of such documentation, Federal Reserve margin regulations, the Investment Company Act and, subject to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the perfection and priority of the security interests, mortgages or other liens granted in the proposed collateral.
          To induce the Agents to issue this letter (together with the Term Sheet, this “Commitment Letter”) and to proceed with the documentation of the proposed Senior Secured Financing, you hereby agree that all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and consultants) of each Agent and its affiliates arising in connection with this Commitment Letter and in connection with the Transaction and other transactions described herein (including in connection with our due diligence and syndication efforts and in our various Co-Agent (as defined below) capacities) shall be for your account and shall be payable on the Closing Date (and only if the Closing Date occurs). You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, and each other agent or co-agent (if any) with respect to the Senior Secured Financing (including the Administrative Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and the Syndication Agent, each in their capacity as such (each, a “Co-Agent”), each Lender (including in any event CS and DB) and their respective affiliates and each director, officer, employee, representative and agent thereof (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations or inquiries), claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against or involve any Agent, any Co-Agent, any Lender or any other such indemnified person as

a result of or arising out of or in any way related to or resulting from the Transaction or this Commitment Letter and, upon demand, to pay and reimburse each Agent, each Co-Agent, each Lender and each other indemnified person for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit, proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) or claim (whether or not any Agent, any Co-Agent, any Lender or any other such indemnified person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any such expenses arise); provided, however, that you shall not have to indemnify any indemnified person against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability to the extent same resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the respective indemnified person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Neither any Agent nor any other indemnified person shall be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for (x) any determination made by it pursuant to (and not constituting a material breach of) this Commitment Letter in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such person or entity (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), (y) any damages arising from the unauthorized use by others of information or other materials wrongfully obtained through electronic or computer information transmission systems (including, without limitation, Syndtrak and Intralinks) or (z) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) which may be alleged as a result of this Commitment Letter or the financing contemplated hereby.
          Each Agent (including in its capacities as Co-Agent) reserves the right to employ the services of its affiliates in providing services contemplated by this Commitment Letter and to allocate, in whole or in part, to its affiliates certain fees payable to each Agent in such manner as such Agent and its affiliates may agree in their sole discretion. You also agree that the Agents may at any time and from time to time assign all or any portion of its commitments hereunder to one or more of its affiliates. If any Interim Term Loan Amount is advanced on the Closing Date and remains outstanding, you agree to restructure the Credit Facilities as may be requested by the Agents to reflect multiple components of the Credit Facilities (including, without limitation, senior and junior notes or participations) or to document the Interim Term Loan Amount as a separate facility, each of which facilities may have differing Security (as defined in the Term Sheet), Guarantees (as defined in the Term Sheet) and other terms (but such restructuring may not change the conditions precedent to the initial funding on the Closing Date, the overall weighted average interest rate spread, or materially decrease Borrower’s rights or materially increase Borrower’s obligations relative to those set forth herein). You further acknowledge that (i) each Agent may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with the Agents, any information related to the Transaction, Holdings, the Borrower, the Target, the Sponsors (and your and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates), or any of the matters contemplated hereby, and (ii) each Agent and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services and securities/brokerage services) to other companies in respect of which you or the Target may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. Consistent with each Agent’s policy to hold in confidence the affairs of its clients, each Agent agrees (as to itself only) to treat, and cause any such affiliate of such Agent to treat, all non-public information provided to it by Holdings and the Borrower as confidential information.

          You agree that this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters are for your confidential use only and that, unless each Agent has otherwise consented, neither their existence nor the terms hereof or thereof will be disclosed by you to any person or entity other than (a) your officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and other advisors, and then only on a “need to know” basis in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (b) as reasonably required in connection with regulatory matters and (c) , with respect to the Commitment Letter, the Target and its advisors on a confidential basis in connection with the proposed Acquisition; provided that, (i) pursuant to second to last paragraph contained in the Fee Letters, certain provisions relating to market flex contained in the Fee Letters may be disclosed to the extent permitted under the terms of the Fee Letters, and (ii) the foregoing restrictions shall cease to apply (except in respect to the Fee Letters) following your acceptance of the provisions hereof and your return of an executed counterpart of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters to us as provided below. If this Commitment Letter is not accepted by you as provided below, please immediately return this Commitment Letter (and any copies hereof) to the undersigned.
          You hereby represent and acknowledge that, to the best of your knowledge, neither any Agent, nor any employees or agents of, or other persons affiliated with, any Agent, have directly or indirectly made or provided any statement (oral or written) to you or to any of your employees or agents, or other persons affiliated with or related to you (or, so far as you are aware, to any other person), as to the potential tax consequences of the Transaction.
          The reimbursement, indemnification, jurisdiction and confidentiality provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letters shall survive any termination of this Commitment Letter.
          In order to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act, each Agent and Lender must obtain, verify and record and you agree to provide at least three business days prior to the Closing Date information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act. Such information shall, among other things, sufficiently identify each entity (or individual) that enters into a business relationship with such Agent and Lender. As a result, in addition to your corporate name and address, each Agent and Lender will obtain and you agree to provide, at least three business days prior to the Closing Date, your corporate tax identification number and certain other information. Any Agent and Lender may also request and you agree to provide, at least three business days prior to the Closing Date, all relevant corporate resolutions and other identifying documents to the extent required for compliance. In addition to the foregoing, all client identification and verification rules and regulations under the laws of all relevant jurisdictions shall be satisfied.
          This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters (and your rights and obligations hereunder and thereunder) shall not be assignable by any of the parties hereto to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the other parties (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void). Any assignments of the commitments hereunder will not relieve the assignor from any of its obligations hereunder unless and until the assignee shall have funded the portion of the commitments so assigned. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters may not be amended or modified, or any provision hereof and thereof waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by you and each Agent. Each of this Commitment Letter and

-8-


 

each Fee Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof or thereof, as the case may be. This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Neither this Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letters are intended to create a fiduciary relationship among the parties hereto or thereto.
          Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or contemplated by this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters. Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and New York state courts located in the county of New York in connection with any dispute related to this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters or any matters contemplated hereby or thereby.

    The Initial Terms Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Term Loans”.
 
       
Maturity:   Any amount (the “Interim Term Loan Amount”) of Term Loans funded on the Closing Date in excess of $250 million in lieu of CMBS proceeds shall be repaid in full on the date (such date, the “Initial Interim Loan Maturity Date” and as may be extended in accordance with the proviso hereto, the “Interim Loan Maturity Date”) that is three (3) months after the Closing Date to the extent outstanding on such date; provided, however that, (i) at the request of the Borrower, the Initial Interim Loan Maturity may be extended up to a maximum of forty-five (45) days, and (ii) at the option of the Agents in their sole and absolute discretion, the Interim Loan Maturity Date (as may have been previously extended as provided herein) may be extended on a month to month basis on one or more occasions to a date or dates not later than the one year following the Initial Interim Loan Maturity Date plus any extension requested by the Borrower pursuant to the preceding clause (i). The final maturity date (such date, as may be extended in accordance with the proviso hereto, the “Term Loan Maturity Date”) of the Term Loan Facility shall be the Interim Loan Maturity Date; provided, however, if the Interim Term Loan Amount (and all related interest and fees) is paid on or before the Interim Loan Maturity Date and no event of default then exists, then the final maturity of the Term Loan Facility shall automatically be extended to the date seven (7) years from the Closing Date. If no Interim Term Loan Amount is funded on the Closing Date, then the Term Loan Maturity Date shall be seven (7) years from the Closing Date.
 
       
Amortization:   (i) Without limiting the making of any mandatory prepayments expressly provided for herein, no amortization of the Term Loans shall be required before 2009. Thereafter, equal quarterly amortization shall be payable in quarterly installments equal to (i) during each of the years 2009 and 2010, 2.5% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans incurred and (ii) for each year thereafter, 1.0% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans incurred.
 
       
    (ii) The remaining aggregate principal amount of Term Loans originally incurred shall be repaid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
 
       
Availability:   Initial Term Loans may only be incurred on the Closing Date.

  Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be made available in one or more tranches in an aggregate principal amount up to (i) $75,000,000 during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is six months thereafter and (ii) $75,000,000 during the period beginning on the date that is six months after the Closing Date and ending on the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date. Delayed Draw Term Loans shall not be made available if any Interim Term Loan Amount is outstanding. No amount of Term Loans once repaid may be reborrowed.
 
   
B. Revolving Credit Facility
 
   
Use of Proceeds:
  The proceeds of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Loans”) shall be utilized for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes, provided that a portion of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount to be agreed by the Borrower and the Agents may be utilized to pay amounts owing to effect the Acquisition or the Refinancing or to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction. Any such proceeds may only be used to fund interest expense accruing under the CMBS to the extent such proceeds are permitted to be invested or distributed pursuant to the investment or restricted payment covenants and all funds in the interest reserve established in connection with the CMBS (or available under a letter of credit provided in lieu thereof) have been depleted and/or drawn.
 
   
Maturity:
  The final maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be 6 years from the Closing Date (the “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”).
 
   
Availability:
  Revolving Loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date in accordance with the terms of the definitive credit documentation governing the Credit Facilities. Revolving Loans shall not be made available if any Interim Term Loan Amount is outstanding.
 
   
Letters of Credit:
  A portion to be negotiated of the Revolving Credit Facility will be available for the issuance of stand-by and trade letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) to support obligations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. Maturities for Letters of Credit will not exceed twelve months in the case of standby Letters of Credit or 180 days in the case of trade Letters of Credit, renewable annually thereafter in the case of standby Letters or Credit and, in any event, shall not extend beyond the tenth business day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.
 
   
Swingline Loans:
  A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount to be mutually agreed shall be available prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for swingline loans (the “Swingline Loans” and, together with Revolving Loans and Term Loans, the “Loans”) to be made by CS (in such capacity, the “Swingline Lender”) on same-day notice. Any Swingline Loans will

Such Guaranties shall be consistent with major sponsor precedent and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agents and shall, to the extent requested by the Agents, also guarantee the Borrower’s and its subsidiaries’ obligations under interest rate swaps/foreign currency swaps or similar agreements with a Lender or its affiliates (the “Secured Hedging Agreements”). All Guaranties shall be guarantees of payment and not of collection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no entity shall be required to provide a Guarantee (or constitute a Guarantor) (x) to the extent prohibited by applicable law or, in the case of any subsidiary of the Target which is not a guarantor of the Target’s existing credit agreement, existing contract, or (y) if the Agents reasonably agree that such entity is immaterial or that the cost of providing a guarantee by such entity exceeds the benefit to the Lenders of the respective guarantee.
 
   
 
  In addition, any Guarantor (other than Holdings) subject to “white wash” or similar requirements will be provided a reasonable period to complete such procedures, including, if necessary, a post-closing period to be mutually agreed.

Security:
  All amounts owing under the Credit Facilities and (if applicable) the Secured Hedging Agreements (and all obligations under the Guaranties) will be secured by (x) a first priority perfected security interest in all equity interests and promissory notes owned by Holdings, the Borrower and the Guarantors, (y) a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, receivables, inventory, equipment, contract rights, management rights and revenues, securities, patents, trademarks, other intellectual property, cash, bank and securities deposit accounts and material owned real estate) owned by the Borrower and the Guarantors, and (z) so long as the CMBS has not been consummated, first priority mortgages, pledges and other liens on the Properties and other assets contemplated to be collateral pursuant to the CMBS Commitment (the “CMBS Collateral”) (all of the foregoing in (x), (y) and/or (z), the “Collateral”), subject (in each case) to exceptions to be agreed, including with respect to assets subject to permitted existing liens; provided that, (x) other than with respect to CMBS Collateral, control agreements shall not be required over bank and securities deposit accounts, (y) pledges of equity interests in non-subsidiary joint ventures shall not be required to the extent prohibited by the applicable joint venture documentation or project level financing documentation, in each case to the extent the respective prohibition is not rendered ineffective under applicable law (provided that, in such instances, indirect pledges shall be required), and (z) when the funding under the CMBS Commitment occurs (i.e, at least $2,380 million of initial funding and a total commitment of $2,880 million, plus any Windstorm Tranche), all assets subject to liens or restrictions on liens pursuant to the CMBS shall be excluded from the Collateral; provided further that, in any case where clause (y) of the preceding proviso limits the equity interests in non-subsidiary joint ventures pledged, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Joint Lead Arrangers, use their reasonable efforts (although they shall not be required to make payments or other economic concessions to third parties to obtain such consents) to obtain any consents to the granting of security interests as contemplated hereby (before giving effect to the preceding proviso) and shall, in any event, ensure that indirect pledges are provided.
 
   
 
  Under the CMBS Commitment, the “Additional Windstorm Amount” may be (i) supported by letters of credit (the “Windstorm LOCs”) and/or a guarantee by Holdings3 (the “Windstorm Guarantee”) or (ii) funded with additional loan proceeds made available under the CMBS (the “Windstorm Tranche”) and deposited into a segregated reserve account (the “Insurance Reserve Account”). Neither the Borrower nor any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower may have liability for

  reimbursement obligations under the Windstorm LOCs, the Windstorm Tranche shall be no greater than $200.0 million and the Insurance Reserve Account shall act as cash collateral for the CMBS. Pursuant to the CMBS Commitment, Holdings shall be obligated upon any draw being made on such Windstorm LOCs to provide additional or replacement letters of credit in order to ensure that the aggregate amount of the Windstorm LOCs is not less than the “Additional Windstorm Amount”. If any amounts are drawn from the Insurance Reserve Account (other than to repay the CMBS), the Sponsors or Holdings (as contemplated by the CMBS Commitment) shall be obligated to replenish such amounts (the “Replenishment Obligation”). The Replenishment Obligation shall be evidenced by guarantees in favor of the Lenders and the lenders under the CMBS in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lenders (the “Replenishment Guarantees”).4
 
   
 
  All documentation (collectively referred to herein as the “Security Agreements”) evidencing the security required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be in form and substance consistent with major sponsor precedent and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agents, and shall effectively create first priority security interests, mortgages and other liens in the property purported to be covered thereby subject to permitted liens and except as otherwise provided for above or in the Commitment Letter. Such documentation shall include an automatic release of properties from such liens in connection with dispositions permitted under the Credit Agreement.
 
   
Incremental

Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall apply to reduce, first, any Interim Term Loan Amount, and then future scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loans as the Borrower shall elect.
 
   
Mandatory
   
Repayments/
   
Commitment
   
Reductions:
  Mandatory repayments of Term Loans shall be required from (a) 100% of the proceeds (net of taxes and costs and expenses in connection with the sale) from non-ordinary course asset sales (including, without limitation, insurance and condemnation proceeds) by Holdings and its subsidiaries (subject to baskets, reinvestment exceptions and exceptions to be negotiated, including (so long as no Interim Term Loan Amount is outstanding) 100% reinvestment right if committed to reinvest within 15 months of such sale or disposition so long as, if such reinvestment is after such 15 month period, such reinvestment is completed within 180 days thereafter), (b) 100% of the net proceeds from issuances of debt (with

  All mandatory repayments of Term Loans made pursuant to clauses (a)- (c) above shall apply to reduce, first, any Interim Term Loan Amount, and then future scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loans in a manner to be agreed. In addition, (i) if at any time the outstandings pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility (including Letter of Credit outstandings and Swingline Loans) exceed the aggregate commitments with respect thereto, prepayments of Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (and/or the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit) shall be required in an amount equal to such excess and (ii) after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction on the Closing Date, all unutilized commitments under the Term Loan Facility (if any) shall be terminated in their entirety.
