ARTICLE X
THE AGENTS
SECTION 10.1. Designation of the Agents. Each Lender hereby makes the following designations:
(a) Each Lender hereby designates Jefferies to act as the Administrative Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and authorizes Jefferies, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Jefferies accepts such appointment and agrees to act as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and to perform the duties of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby designates Goldman Sachs to act as the Syndication Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and authorizes Goldman Sachs, in its capacity as the Syndication Agent, to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Goldman Sachs accepts such appointment and agrees to act as the Syndication Agent on behalf of the Lenders and to perform the duties of the Syndication Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries. The use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender agrees that each Agent, at its option, may delegate its duties, rights and powers, and that each sub-agent shall implement all such duties, rights and powers on behalf of such Agent, that are required of such Agent, as the case may be, on behalf of the Lenders. Each Agent and such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors. The exculpatory provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply to such sub-agent and each such Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent and advisor and to their respective activities. Each Agent may replace such sub-agent upon consent of the Required Lenders and the exculpatory provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply to such replacement sub-agent.
-88-
(b) Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Administrative Agent (with respect to which the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel in order to avoid contravention of applicable law), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.
(c) Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and as to which such Agent is not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses (i) which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent, or (ii) which arise from the failure of another Lender to make its portion of the Commitment Amount available or to advance such Lender’s Percentage of any Loans to be made to the Borrowers (in which case such other Lender shall have responsibility for indemnification therefor). Neither Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Operative Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Operative Document, unless such Agent is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of an Agent shall be or become, in the respective determination of such Agent, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.
SECTION 10.2. Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrowers to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing (in the case of the Borrowers) and at the Federal Funds Rate (in the case of a Lender, for the first two (2) Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid) and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section shall affect or impair the rights or remedies of the Borrowers against such Lender so long as such amount and interest, if any, has been repaid by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent.
-89-
SECTION 10.3. Exculpation. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing no Agent or any of such Agent’s directors, officers, employees or agents (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as shall be required by Section 13.1), (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose any information relating to Greektown Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of such Agent’s Affiliates, (iv) shall be liable for any action taken by the such Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number of Lenders as shall be required by Section 13.1), (v) shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by Greektown Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or a Lender, (vi) shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for such Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (vii) shall be responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (viii) shall be responsible for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, (ix) shall be responsible for the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security or (x) shall have any duty to make any inquiry respecting the performance by Greektown Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any inquiry which may be made by any Agent shall not obligate such Agent to make any further inquiry or take any action. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which such Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.
SECTION 10.4. Successors. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders. If any Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may, after consultation with Greektown Holdings (but only if no Default then exists hereunder) and subject to any required approval of the MGCB and the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement, appoint another Lender as a successor to such Agent which shall thereupon become such Agent hereunder. If no successor for such Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and after consultation with Greektown Holdings (such consultation being required only if no Default then exists hereunder) and subject to any required approval of the MGCB and the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement, appoint a successor to act in the capacity of such retiring Agent which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial lending institution organized under the laws of the U.S. (or any State thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a commercial lending institution and having (x) a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and (y) a credit rating of “A” or better by S&P or a comparable rating by Moody’s; provided, however, that if, after expending all reasonable commercial efforts, such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial lending
-90-
institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth in item (y), such retiring Agent shall be permitted to appoint as its successor from all available commercial lending institutions willing to accept such appointment such institution having the highest credit rating of all such available and willing institutions. Upon the acceptance of any appointment by a successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of
(a) this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by such retiring Agent while it was Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent under this Agreement, as applicable; and
(b) Section 13.3 and Section 13.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
SECTION 10.5. Loans by Each Agent. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Credit Extensions made by it or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an Agent hereunder. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Greektown Holdings, it’s Subsidiaries, Kewadin, Monroe, the Authority, the Tribe or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof as if such Person was not an Agent hereunder.
SECTION 10.6. Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Agents and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of Greektown Holdings, its Subsidiaries, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agents and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary herein, with respect to any Default hereunder, no Lender shall exercise any independent rights, remedies or options against Greektown Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than pursuant to Section 4.5) hereunder or any other action that is not pursuant to the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.7. Copies, etc. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrowers). The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from or on behalf of the Borrowers for distribution to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
-91-
SECTION 10.8. Consultants and Reports.

All reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Consultants shall be paid by or on behalf of the Borrowers.
(b) Each of the Independent Consultants shall be contractually obligated to the Administrative Agent to carry out the activities requested by the Administrative Agent. Greektown Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries acknowledges that it will not have any cause of action or claim against any Independent Consultant resulting from any decision made or not made, any action taken or not taken or any advice given by such Independent Consultant in the due performance in good faith of its duties except for the gross negligence and willful misconduct of the Independent Consultant; provided, however, the foregoing standard of care shall not affect the standard of care which is required under any letter or agreement pursuant to which an Independent Consultant was engaged or the rights, remedies and options of the Lenders under any such letter or agreement.

SECTION 12.6.Limit on Recovery.

SECTION 12.8.Benefit to Subsidiary Guarantors.

SECTION 13.10.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;provided, however, that:
(a) neither Borrower may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders;provided,however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents (other than the requirement that the then outstanding Obligations hereunder be paid in full in cash on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization), subject to any required approval of the MGCB, the Borrowers shall, and shall be permitted to, assign all of their Obligations and rights under the Loan Documents to a new holding company (“Newco”) if such is formed to directly or indirectly hold substantially all of the Capital Stock of Greektown Holdings (such assignment, together with the assumption by Newco of all of the Borrowers’ Obligations and rights under the Loan Documents, the “Emergence Assignment”);provided that the Emergence Assignment shall occur on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization (but prior to the repayment in full in cash of the Obligations on such date).

SECTION 13.11.1Assignments. Subject to any required approval of the MGCB and the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement and upon prior notice to each Agent and consultation with Greektown Holdings (but only if no Default then exists hereunder), any Lender with the consent of the Administrative Agent (provided,however, that no such notice to or consent by any Agent or consultation with Greektown Holdings shall be required with respect to any assignment or sale by or to Jefferies or Goldman Sachs or their respective Affiliates; and furtherprovided,however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld by the Administrative Agent if the assignee is exempt from the supplier licensing requirements under applicable Michigan Gaming Laws) may assign or sell all or any fraction of such Lender’s total Loans and Commitments to an Eligible Assignee (each Person described in the foregoing clause as being the Person to whom such assignment and delegation is to be made, being hereinafter referred to as an “Assignee Lender”) in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 with respect to the Loans (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments) or such lesser amount agreed to by Greektown Holdings and the Administrative Agent, provided, that such minimum aggregate amount shall not be applicable in the case of assignments by such Lender to another Lender, any Approved Fund or its Affiliate. The Borrowers and each other Obligor and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee Lender until
-102-
(a) notice of such assignment and delegation, together with (i) payment instructions, (ii) the Internal Revenue Service Forms or other statements contemplated or required to be delivered pursuant toSection 4.2 and (iii) addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee Lender (including, if required, information required by the MGCB), shall have been delivered to Greektown Holdings and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and such Assignee Lender;
(b) such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Borrowers and each Agent, a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted by the Administrative Agent;
(c) the processing fees described below shall have been paid; and
(d) the Lender Assignment Agreement has been registered in the Register in accordance withSection 2.4.
From and after the date that the Administrative Agent accepts such Lender Assignment Agreement and the Administrative Agent records the information therein in the Register, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Accrued interest on that part of each assigned Loan and Commitment, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the Lender Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in this Agreement. Such assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender must also pay a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement;provided,however, that only one fee shall be payable for simultaneous multiple assignments made by a Lender to or from its Affiliates; and further,provided,however, that no such fee shall be due from the assignor Lender or the Assignee Lender with respect to any Lender Assignment Agreement to which Jefferies or Goldman Sachs is a party or if the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to waive such fee. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with thisSection 13.11.1 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, any Lender may (without requesting the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) pledge its Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, and any Lender that is an investment fund that invests in bank loans may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights (but may not delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including its Commitment(s), if any) to any trustee or any other representative of holders of obligations owed or securities issued by such investment fund as security for such obligations or securities.
SECTION 13.11.2Participations. Subject to any required approval of the MGCB, and the terms and conditions of the Development Agreement and upon prior written
-103-
notice to Greektown Holdings and each Agent, any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (other than an Obligor or an Affiliate of an Obligor) (each of such commercial banks and other Persons being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of the Loans, Commitments, or other interests of such Lender hereunder;provided,however, that
(a) no participation contemplated in this Section shall relieve such Lender from its Commitments or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitments and such other obligations;
(c) the Borrowers and each other Obligor and each Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;
(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in clauses (a), (b), (f) or, to the extent requiring the consent of such Lender, clause (c) ofSection 13.1;
(e) the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount under this Agreement that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold;
(f) each Participant shall provide promptly after request and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such request (or shorter period of time if required by the MGCB) all information required by the MGCB; and
(g) no sale of any participation interest shall be effective until such sale has been recorded in the Register in accordance withSection 2.4.
Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes ofSections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4 or 4.5 shall be considered a Lender. Each Participant shall only be indemnified for increased costs pursuant toSection 4.1 or 4.2 if and to the extent that the Lender which sold such participating interest to such Participant concurrently is entitled to make, and does make, a claim on the Borrowers for such increased costs. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant under thisSection 13.11.2 shall indemnify and hold harmless the Borrowers and each Agent from and against any Taxes, penalties, interest or other costs or losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Borrowers or such Agent as a result of the failure of either Borrower or such Agent to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not have been incurred or payable if such Participant had been a Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States that was entitled to deliver to the Borrowers, such
-104-
Agent or such Lender, and did in fact so deliver, a duly completed and valid Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) entitling such Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal taxes.
SECTION 13.12.Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Greektown Holdings or any of its Affiliates in which either Greektown Holdings or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
SECTION 13.13.Execution by Authorized Representative. Any signature by any Authorized Representative on this Agreement, any Loan Document and any other instrument and certificate executed or to be executed pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or such other Loan Documents is provided only in such Authorized Representative’s capacity as an officer or member of the Person in question, and not in any way in such Authorized Representative’s personal capacity.
SECTION 13.14.Waiver of Jury Trial. THE AGENTS, THE LENDERS, EACH BORROWER AND EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENTS, THE LENDERS, THE BORROWERS OR THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH. EACH BORROWER AND EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
SECTION 13.15.Maximum Rate of Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Documents shall be construed to permit the Lenders to charge or receive at any time interest, fees or other charges in excess of the amounts which the Lenders are legally entitled to charge and receive under any law to which such interest, fees or charges are subject. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the compensation payable to the Lenders by any Person, howsoever characterized or computed, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law to which such compensation is subject. There is no intention that the Lenders shall contract for, charge or receive compensation in excess of the highest lawful rate, and, in the event it should be determined that the Lenders have contracted for any rate of interest in excess of the highest lawful rate, then ipso facto such rate shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate so that no amounts shall be charged or received which are in excess thereof, and, in the event it should be determined that any excess over such highest lawful rate has been charged or received, the Lenders shall promptly refund such excess
-105-
to the Person entitled thereto;provided, however, that, if lawful, any such excess shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Lenders as additional interest (accruing at a rate equal to the maximum legal rate minus the rate provided for hereunder) during any subsequent period when regular interest is accruing hereunder at less than the maximum legal rate.
SECTION 13.16.Time of Essence. Time is of the essence as to all times and dates set forth in or applicable to this Agreement with respect to all payments to be made by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder;provided, however, that whenever any payment to be made under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest payable hereunder.
SECTION 13.17. Consent or Approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(a) Any request by the Borrowers for consent or approval by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents shall be given in writing in accordance withSection 13.2.

SECTION 13.21. Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
(a) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.
(b) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under thisSection 13.21), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor without preferences or distinction between them.
(c) if and to the extent that either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due, or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
(d) The Obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor under the provisions of thisSection 13.21 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable against each such Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any borrowings issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of
-107-
the occurrence of any Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Administrative Agent or Lender with respect to the failure by either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of thisSection 13.21, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under thisSection 13.21, it being the intention of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor under thisSection 13.21 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor under thisSection 13.21 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The joint and several liability of the Persons composing Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, constitution or place of formation of any of the Persons composing Borrowers, Subsidiary Guarantor or the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(f) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantor is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and the other Subsidiary Guarantors and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby covenants that such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor will continue to keep informed of the Borrowers’ and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
-108-
(g) The provisions of thisSection 13.21 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against either or both of the Borrowers and any of the Subsidiary Guarantor as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrower or the other Subsidiary Guarantors or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against the other Borrower or the other Subsidiary Guarantors to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of thisSection 13.21 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or otherwise, the provisions of thisSection 13.21 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
(h) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may have against the other Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, their debts or their assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to the other Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors therefor.
(i) Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing by either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the other Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors are hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of the other Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors owing to such Borrower or to any such Subsidiary Guarantor until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall deliver any such amounts to the Lenders for application to the Obligations in accordance withSection 3.1.2.
-109-
SECTION 13.22.USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 13.23.No Fiduciary Duties. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and Borrowers, their stockholders or their affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrowers, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Borrowers, their stockholders or their affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise Borrowers, their stockholders or their Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of Borrowers, their management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrowers, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

| | | |
| B. | Item 6.2.1(d): |

XI. | Item 7.12: Permits |
| | |
| • | The Operating Company obtained a building permit from the City’s Department of Building & Safety Engineering for the construction of the Permanent Casino based on permit drawings which showed the Event Center as completed space. The Operating Company has attempted to obtain an amended or replacement building permit for the Casino based on permit drawings showing the Event Center as core and shell space without interior improvements other than life safety improvements. The City’s Planning Department officials have determined that the completion of the Event Center as core and shell space would constitute a material change to the July 15, 2006 conceptual drawing approved by City Council in connection with the SD-5 zoning for the Permanent Casino Complex and that the amended or replacement building permit cannot be issued until the revised permit drawings are approved by City Council. The Operating Company has taken steps required to obtain the approval of City Council. The Planning Commission has scheduled a public hearing on the Operating Company’s requested change to the July 15, 2006 site plan approval drawings for December 3, 2009. It will be necessary for City Council to conduct a public hearing and approve the change to the July 15, 2006 site plan approval drawings. |
| | |
| • | The City has alleged that the Operating Company is in default under the Development Agreement for certain matters including (i) failure to construct an auditorium-style theatre as part of the Permanent Casino Complex, (ii) failure to complete construction of the Permanent Casino Complex by the required completion date, (iii) failure to build-out the Event Center as shown in the July 15, 2006 conceptual drawings approved by City Council for the SD-5 zoning for the Permanent Casino Complex, (iv) failure to pay Development Process Costs, and (v) failure to conduct a public offering. On August 10, 2009, counsel for the City sent a Notice of Default to the Operating Company listing additional defaults under the Development Agreement. |
| | |
| • | A Michigan Gaming Control Board Order Approving Debt Transaction, Supplier-Licensing Exemption Requests, and Eligibility, Suitability, and Qualification of Certain Key Persons of Greektown Casino, L.L.C., dated November 15, 2005, exists. |

| |
| Agent were immediately junior to such valid, perfected and unavoidable liens, if any, including, without limitation, in all cash and cash collateral of the Debtors and any investment of such cash and cash collateral, inventory, any accounts receivable, other right to payment whether arising before or after the Petition Date, contracts, properties, plants, equipment, general intangibles, documents, instruments, interests in leaseholds, real properties, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, other intellectual property, capital stock of subsidiaries, and the proceeds of all the foregoing. |
| |
| (c) Pursuant to section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected, first priority, senior security interest in and lien upon all Pre-Petition Collateral which was senior solely to the Pre-Petition Liens and any claims of the Pre-Petition Secured Parties. |
(iv) Consistent with the terms of this Order, all obligations owed or at any time owing to the Original DIP Agent and/or any of the Original DIP Lenders under or in connection with the Original DIP Loan Documents, including, without limitation all post-petition obligations, loans, advances, letters of credit and other indebtedness, obligations, and amounts (contingent or otherwise), including fees, expenses (including any attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’, consultants’ and financial advisors’ fees that are chargeable or reimburseable under the Original DIP Loan Documents), charges and any and all other obligations incurred in connection with, and as provided in the Original DIP Loan Documents, are defined and referred to herein as the “Original DIP Obligations”. Upon the Effective Date, a portion of the proceeds of the DIP Credit Agreement shall be used to repay, in full, in cash, the Original DIP Obligations, and all such obligations, including all liens granted in connection therewith, shall be
repaid, satisfied, released and discharged in full in accordance with the Original DIP Loan Documents on the Effective Date;provided,however, that all outstanding reasonable professional fees owed to the Original DIP Agent under or in connection with the Original DIP Loan Documents shall be paid by the Debtors in ordinary course and the process for such reimbursement shall be done in accordance with the Original Final Amended Order;further, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein, certain obligations of the Borrowers under the Original DIP Loan Documents, including the obligations to pay the costs and expenses of the Original DIP Agent and to indemnify the Original DIP Agent and Original DIP Lenders against certain liabilities, including but not limited to the obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 13.3 and 13.4 of the Original DIP Credit Agreement, and Section 22 of the Original Final Amended Order, expressly survive the termination of the Original DIP Loan Documents to the extent provided for therein, and such obligations shall constitute allowed, super-priority claims that are entitled to super-priority treatment under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
4.Need for Financing.
(i) There is an immediate and critical need for the Borrowers and the Guarantors to obtain additional funds and continue to use the Pre-Petition Collateral and DIP Collateral (as defined below), including Cash Collateral, in order, among other things, to: (a) maintain the construction of the permanent casino and hotel; (b) repay the Original DIP Outstanding Amount, which matures on December 31, 2009, and satisfy, release and discharge the Original DIP Obligations in accordance with the Original DIP Loan Documents pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement; (c) continue the orderly operation of their businesses; (d) maintain their business relationships with vendors, suppliers and customers; (e) make payroll, capital
expenditures and satisfy other working capital and operational needs; and (f) maintain the Debtors’ business while a plan of reorganization or other transaction is negotiated. The access of the Debtors to sufficient working capital and liquidity through the use of Cash Collateral, incurrence of new indebtedness for borrowed money and other financial accommodations is vital to the preservation and maintenance of the going concern values of the Debtors and to a successful reorganization of the Debtors.
(ii) The Debtors continue to be unable to obtain unsecured credit allowable only as an unsecured, administrative expense claim under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors also continue to be unable to obtain credit allowable under sections 364(c)(1), 364(c)(2) or 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code without the Debtors’ granting to the DIP Agents (for the benefit of the DIP Lenders) liens on the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors pursuant to sections 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code and super-priority claim status pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for its administrative claim under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case as provided by the DIP Loan Documents.
(iii) The terms of the DIP Credit Agreement and the use of Cash Collateral are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.
(iv) The ability of the Debtors to continue their businesses and reorganize under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code depends upon the Debtors obtaining such additional financing and using Cash Collateral.
(v) Without the ability to obtain the requested borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement, the Debtors’ ability to confirm a plan of reorganization and emerge successfully from the Chapter 11 Cases would be severely compromised.
(vi) It is in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates that they continue to be allowed to finance their operations and use Cash Collateral under the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other DIP Loan Documents. The relief requested by the Motion is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors’ estates, and good, adequate and sufficient cause has been shown to justify the granting of the relief requested herein, and the immediate entry of this Order.
(vii) Based upon the record before the Court, the use of Cash Collateral and the terms of the DIP Loan Documents have been negotiated at arm’s length and in “good faith,” as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and creditors. The DIP Agents and DIP Lenders have extended and are extending financing to the Debtors, and have otherwise entered into the DIP Loan Documents, in good faith and are entitled to the benefits and protections of the provisions of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Pre-Petition Secured Parties have permitted and are permitting the use of their Cash Collateral and Pre-Petition Collateral in good faith.
5.Debtors’ Stipulations.The Debtors have stipulated, acknowledged, admitted, represented, and confirmed the following, as of the Petition Date which, consistent with the terms of the Original DIP Orders, now constitute findings of this Court that are binding on the

6.Michigan Gaming Commission. On December [15], 2009, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (the “MGCB”) approved the DIP Obligations, as required by applicable non-bankruptcy law. Subsequently, the Borrowers and Guarantors executed the DIP Loan Documents, with the effectiveness thereof subject to, among other things, the entry of this Order.
7.Consensual Priming.The Pre-Petition Secured Parties have not objected and thereby have consented to the priming of the Pre-Petition Liens by the Post-Petition Liens (as defined below) and the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral on the terms and conditions set forth in
the DIP Loan Documents. The adequate protection provided herein and other benefits and privileges contained herein are consistent with and authorized by the Bankruptcy Code and are necessary in order to obtain such consent or non-objection of such parties.

(iii) The rights and remedies of the DIP Agents and the DIP Lenders specified herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the DIP Agents and the DIP Lenders may have under the other DIP Loan Documents or otherwise. The failure or delay by the (a) DIP Agents and the DIP Lenders to seek relief or otherwise exercise its rights and remedies under this Order or any other DIP Loan Documents or (b) Pre-Petition Secured Parties to exercise its rights and remedies under this Order shall not constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the DIP Agents, the DIP Lenders or Pre-Petition Secured Party hereunder, thereunder or otherwise, and any single or partial exercise of such rights and remedies against any party or DIP Collateral shall not be construed to limit any further exercise of such rights and remedies against any or all of the other parties and/or DIP Collateral.
