Subcontractor implementing the work designed by such Person).
(d) Each Advance Request shall request Advances in order to
(i) until the Phase I Opening Date, pay interest and fees under the Bank Credit
Agreement and the 2014 Notes which are scheduled to become due and payable on
or after the requested Advance Date and prior to the next succeeding Advance
Date, (ii) pay other Project Costs specifically allocated to either the Phase I
Project or (subject to Section 3.3) the Phase II Project in the applicable
Project Budget and estimated to become due and payable on or prior to the
requested Advance Date, (iii) issue a Letter of Credit under the Bank Credit
Facility and/or (iv) replenish funds, or increase funds on deposit, in the Cash
Management Account. If the Company fails to set forth the information described
in clause (i) above in any Advance Request or fails to timely deliver any
Advance Request, then the Bank Agent and/or the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee
may deliver such information and a request for payment of interest and fees to
the Disbursement Agent, upon which request the Disbursement Agent shall, if
applicable, revise the Advance Request and related Notice of Advance Request to
provide for such payment. From and after the Phase I Opening Date, the Company
shall only be permitted to obtain Advances hereunder for the purpose of paying
Debt Service accruing with respect to Advances made under the Bank Credit
Agreement or from the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account to pay Project Costs
allocated to the Phase II Project under the Phase II Project Budget. Each such
Advance Request shall request Advances from the various Funding Sources
consistent with the requirements of Section 2.4 and shall include an estimated
use of proceeds for the requested Advance broken down for each Project by
Contractor and Line Item and shall certify as to the matters set forth therein.
Promptly after delivery of each Advance Request, the Disbursement Agent shall,
and shall instruct the Construction Consultant to, review such Advance Request
and attachments thereto to determine whether all required documentation has
been provided, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the
Company of any deficiency within three (3) Banking Days after delivery thereof
by the Company, it being acknowledged that any failure to notify the Company of
any deficiency in the Advance Request so delivered within the aforesaid time
period shall in no event be deemed an approval thereof. The Disbursement Agent
shall also instruct the Construction Consultant to promptly review the work
referenced in such Advance Request, including work estimated to be completed
through the applicable Advance Date, as such work is being performed.
(e) Concurrently with the delivery by the Company of each
Advance Request, the Company shall deliver to the Funding Agents and the
Disbursement Agent a Notice of Advance Request substantially in the form of
Exhibit D, appropriately completed and duly executed by a Responsible Officer
of the Company. Each Funding Agent shall, as soon as practicable (but no later
than two (2) Banking Days) after receiving each Notice of Advance Request,
deliver a notice confirming such receipt to the Disbursement Agent and, in the
case of the Bank Agent, confirming that the Company's calculation of interest
and fees scheduled to become due and payable under its Facility on and after
the requested Advance Date and through the scheduled next succeeding Advance
Date is accurate (or, if not accurate, shall provide the appropriate revisions
to the Disbursement Agent).
(f) Within three (3) Banking Days prior to the requested
Advance Date, the Construction Consultant shall deliver directly to the
Disbursement Agent (with a copy to the Company) its certificate with respect to
such Advance Request, in the form of Exhibit C-2 either approving or
disapproving the Advance Request (the "Construction Consultant's Advance
Certificate"); provided that if the Construction Consultant disapproves one or
more particular payments or disbursements to any Contractor or Subcontractor
requested by the Advance Request, but the Advance Request otherwise complies
with the requirements hereof, then the Advance Request shall be deemed approved
with respect to all payments and disbursements requested therein other than the
particular payments or disbursements so disapproved. If the Construction
Consultant disapproves the Advance Request or any one or more particular
payments requested therein, the Disbursement Agent shall instruct the
Construction Consultant to provide the Company, in reasonable detail, its
reason(s) for such disapproval.
(g) Promptly after receipt of a request therefor, the
Disbursement Agent shall deliver copies of any Advance Request to the Funding
Agents.
2.3.2 Funding Notices from Disbursement Agent.
(a) (i) Promptly after delivery of each Advance Request and
related Notice of Advance Request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3.1, the
Disbursement Agent shall review the same in order to reconcile the information
set forth in the Advance Request with the information set forth in the related
Notice of Advance Request and determine whether all required documentation has
been provided and whether all applicable conditions precedent pursuant to this
Agreement have been satisfied. In particular, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Disbursement Agent shall verify, to the extent
set forth herein, based on information provided to it by the Funding Agents,
the Company and the Construction Consultant, (A) the Company's calculation of
Available Funds, including Anticipated Earnings, set forth in the Advance
Request, (B) that the Projects are In Balance, (C) that the allocation of the
requested Advance among the various funding sources complies with the
provisions of Section 2.4 and (D) that the Company's calculation of interest
and fees scheduled to become due and payable under the Bank Credit Agreement
and the 2014 Notes, in each case, from and after the requested Advance Date and
prior to the immediately succeeding Advance Date, is accurate. Subject to the
other subsections of this Section 2.3, at such time as the Disbursement Agent
has received the Construction Consultant's Advance Certificate and otherwise
determines that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 with
respect to a requested Advance have been satisfied, but no less than three (3)
Banking Days prior to the requested Advance Date, the Disbursement Agent shall
countersign the Notice of Advance Request and deliver the same to the Company
and each Funding Agent (or otherwise electronically notify the Company and each
Funding Agent that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 3
with respect to a requested Advance have been satisfied) (such delivery or
notification, an "Advance Confirmation Notice").
(ii) In the event that the Construction Consultant
approves only a portion of the payments or disbursements requested by the
Advance Request (as contemplated by Section 2.3.1(f)) or, if based on the
Disbursement Agent's review of the Advance Request and accompanying Notice of
Advance Request, the Disbursement Agent finds any errors or inaccuracies in the
Advance Request or the Notice of Advance Request (including any inaccuracy in
the allocations made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof), but the Advance Request
and Notice of Advance Request otherwise conform to the requirements of this
Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall (A) notify the Company thereof, (B)
revise (to the extent it is able to do so and with the Company's consent, which
may be provided electronically) or request that the Company revise such
certificates to remove the request for the disapproved payment and/or rectify
any errors or inaccuracies, (C) deliver or request that the Company execute and
deliver to the Funding Agents the revised Notice of Advance Request and (D)
approve the requested Advance and issue the Advance Confirmation Notice after
making the required revisions (or receiving from the Company the revised
certificates) on the basis of the certificates as so revised. In the event that
the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance
Request so as to increase the amount to be advanced under the Bank Credit
Facility, the amount of such increase shall constitute the same type of Loans
as requested in such Advance Request (unless otherwise prohibited under the
Bank Credit Agreement). In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the
Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as to decrease the amount to
be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility, the amount of such decrease shall
(unless otherwise requested by the Company and permitted under the Bank Credit
Agreement) first reduce the amount of "Base Rate Loans" requested under such
Facility and then reduce the amount of "Eurodollar Loans" requested under such
Facility. All references to a particular requested Advance, Advance Request or
Notice of Advance Request in the ensuing provisions of this Article 2 shall, to
the extent the context so requires, refer to the same as revised or modified
pursuant to this clause (ii).
(b) In the event that the Disbursement Agent (i) on or prior
to the requested Advance Date determines that the conditions precedent to an
Advance have not been satisfied or (ii) prior to the requested Advance Date
receives notice from any Funding Agent that a Potential Event of Default or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Disbursement Agent
shall notify the Company and each Funding Agent thereof as soon as reasonably
possible but in no event later than one (1) Banking Day after such
determination or receipt, as the case may be (a "Stop Funding Notice"). The
Stop Funding Notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the conditions
precedent which the Disbursement Agent has determined have not been satisfied
and/or shall attach a copy of any notice of default received by the
Disbursement Agent. Upon such written notice from the Disbursement Agent, and
subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, (i) no Bank Lender shall have any
obligation to advance its portion of the requested Advance, if any, (ii) the
Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the 2014 Notes Proceeds
Account for the purpose of transferring such funds to the Disbursement Account
(provided that the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw funds from the 2014 Notes
Proceeds Account for the purpose of paying scheduled Debt Service on the 2014
Notes), (iii) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the
Company's Funds Account to satisfy such requested Advance, (iv) the
Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw, transfer or release to the Company any
funds then on deposit in the Bank Proceeds Account (provided that the
Disbursement Agent shall withdraw funds from the Bank Proceeds Account for the
purpose of paying scheduled Debt Service on the Bank Credit Facility), (v) the
Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw, transfer or release to the Company any
funds then on deposit in the Disbursement Account (other than in respect of
wires previously issued under Section 2.5.1(b)) and (vi) any Advance
Confirmation Notice issued prior to the issuance of a Stop Funding Notice (if
the Advance to which such Advance Confirmation Notice relates has not been
made) shall become null and void and of no force or effect; provided that such
nullification of any such Advance Confirmation Notice shall not affect the
obligations of the Company for break funding costs under the Bank Credit
Facility.
(c) Prior to the earliest of (i) termination of the "Term
Loan Commitments" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) other than due to
the funding in full thereof, (ii) termination of the "Revolving Credit
Commitments" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) and (iii) acceleration
by any Funding Agent of amounts owed under its Facility, unless any such action
has been rescinded, at such time, if ever, as the Disbursement Agent (x)
determines that the condition precedent to the requested Advance which had not
been satisfied has become satisfied or (y) receives notice from the Funding
Agent who issued the notice of default described in the preceding paragraph
that the Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has been cured or
waived, as the case may be, the Disbursement Agent shall deliver another
Advance Confirmation Notice with respect to the applicable Advance Request to
the Company and each of the Funding Agents.
(d) In the event that a Funding Agent entitled to waive
conditions precedent to funding pursuant to Section 3.5 or the Bank Agent
pursuant to Section 3.6 informs the Disbursement Agent in writing that it has
waived the event or events giving rise to the Stop Funding Notice, the
Disbursement Agent shall deliver an Advance Confirmation Notice (modified, if
applicable, to apply only to amounts to be advanced under such Funding Agent's
Facility unless all Funding Agents entitled to waive conditions with respect to
such Advance Request have waived the conditions or the Bank Agent has waived
such conditions pursuant to Section 3.6, in which case the Disbursement Agent
shall deliver an Advance Confirmation Notice with respect to all Advances
requested by the Company) to the Company and each of the Funding Agents.
2.3.3 Provision of Funds by the Bank Lenders.
(a) (i) (A) In the case of an Advance Confirmation Notice
issued pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a) above, on the requested Advance Date and
(B) in the case of an Advance Confirmation Notice issued pursuant to Section
2.3.2(c) or (d) above, on the third (3rd) Banking Day after such issuance,
before 12:00 p.m. New York, New York time, (x) the Bank Agent (subject to
Section 2.4.3) shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Disbursement
Account, in immediately available funds, the Bank Credit Facility's portion of
the requested Advance, if any, as determined pursuant to Sections 2.4.1 and
2.4.2 and set forth in the related Advance Confirmation Notice and (y) if the
related Notice of Advance Request includes a request for the issuance of one or
more Letters of Credit under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Bank Agent shall
also send written notice to the Disbursement Agent that the "Issuing Lenders"
(as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) have advised the Bank Agent that they
are committed to issue each such Letter of Credit.
(ii) Upon confirming that all funds required to be
deposited in the Disbursement Account pursuant to clause (i) above have been
deposited and, if applicable, upon receipt of the Bank Agent's confirmation
that the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) have
advised the Bank Agent that they are committed to issue each requested Letter
of Credit, the Disbursement Agent shall (subject to Section 2.3.2(b)) promptly
withdraw from the Company's Funds Account, the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account and
the Bank Proceeds Account the portion of the Advance to be funded from each
such account as determined pursuant to Section 2.4 and set forth in the related
Advance Confirmation Notice, deposit such funds in the Disbursement Account and
shall notify the Bank Agent that such transfer to the Disbursement Account has
been made. Upon receipt of such notice, if applicable, the Bank Agent shall
instruct the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under
the Bank Revolving Facility to issue the requested Letters of Credit. All funds
so deposited in the Disbursement Account shall thereafter be applied by the
Disbursement Agent as provided in Section 2.5.
(b) Neither the Disbursement Agent nor the Bank Agent shall
be responsible for any Bank Lender's failure to make any required Advance or,
if applicable, the failure of any "Issuing Lender" under the Bank Credit
Agreement to issue any Letter of Credit. The Disbursement Agent shall not
release to the Company any amounts properly advanced until all Advances
requested by the relevant Advance Request have been deposited in the
Disbursement Account and, if applicable, the Bank Agent has confirmed that the
"Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank
Revolving Facility have advised the Bank Agent that they are committed to issue
each requested Letter of Credit, unless one or more of the Lenders who have
made the Advances request the release of any funds Advanced by each such Lender
(the Disbursement Agent shall promptly notify all Funding Agents upon receiving
any such request). However, the withholding of such Advances by the
Disbursement Agent shall not release the Lender who failed to make the Advance
under its Facility or any "Issuing Lender" who failed to issue a Letter of
Credit from liability. The Disbursement Agent shall have no liability to the
Company arising from any Stop Funding Notice issued pursuant to Section
2.3.2(b) at the request of any Funding Agent (a "Stop Funding Request"),
whether or not such Funding Agent was entitled to issue such Stop Funding
Request. A Funding Agent shall not have any liability to the Company, the
Disbursement Agent, any other Funding Agent or any Lender arising from any Stop
Funding Notice issued by the Disbursement Agent in response to a Stop Funding
Request by such Funding Agent; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
release from liability the Funding Agent who issued the Stop Funding Request if
such issuance resulted from, or constituted an act of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of such Funding Agent, as finally judicially
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
2.3.4 Change in Facts Certified. The Company shall promptly
notify the Disbursement Agent prior to the making of any Advances in the event
that the Company obtains knowledge that any of the matters to which the Company
certified in the corresponding Advance Request are no longer true and correct
in all material respects. The acceptance by the Company of the proceeds of any
Advance shall constitute a re-certification by the Company, as of the
applicable Advance Date, of all matters certified to in the related Advance
Request, except to the extent that any matter so certified to relates to a
specific earlier date in which case such certification shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.
2.3.5 References to Dates. In the event that any day or date
referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 occurs on a day
that is not a Banking Day, the reference shall be deemed to be to the next
succeeding Banking Day.
2.4 ORDER OF SOURCES OF FUNDING.
2.4.1 Order of Withdrawals From Funding Sources. The full amount
of all Advances to be made on any given date shall be made from the following

outstanding from time to time for purposes of determining the funding ratio of
the Bank Credit Facility under Section 2.4.1 (second clause) above.
2.4.3 Advances Under the Bank Credit Facility. All issuances of
Letters of Credit under the Bank Credit Facility shall be satisfied through the
Bank Revolving Facility pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article 3 of
the Bank Credit Agreement. All other amounts required to be obtained from the
Bank Credit Facility for deposit in the Disbursement Account shall be satisfied
as follows:

Account on the relevant date, to the extent thereof (excluding amounts
previously advanced to the Bank Proceeds Account pursuant to Section 2.5.1(a)
which are intended to be used for Company payroll); and

Credit Facility.
2.4.4 Post-Funding Reallocations. In the event that at any time

erroneous or inaccurate, the parties shall cooperate to rectify such
misallocations by allocating future Advances in a manner that accounts for the
previous misallocation or by using such other methods reasonably determined by
the Disbursement Agent.

Company without further authorization from the Company, and the Company hereby
constitutes and appoints the Disbursement Agent its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to make such direct payments and this power of attorney shall
be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable;
provided that, except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of
Default, the Disbursement Agent shall not exercise its rights under this power
of attorney except to make payments as directed by the Company pursuant to an
Advance Request. No further direction or authorization from the Company shall
be necessary to warrant or permit the Disbursement Agent to make such payments

Disbursement Account are not sufficient to make such payments, the Disbursement
Agent may withdraw the shortfall from any other Company Account and transfer

Agreement shall impair any right, power or remedy of any such Funding Agent or
Secured Party with respect to any other condition precedent, or be construed to

to time, the Company shall be unable to satisfy the conditions precedent to the
initial Advance or any subsequent Advance set forth in Sections 3.2 or 3.3 for
any reason other than as a result of the Projects not being In Balance, the
Company shall be entitled to allow Affiliates of the Company (other than any
Loan Party) to pay Project Costs then due and owing with respect to a
particular Project (which payment shall be deemed to be an additional equity
contribution by such Affiliate to the Company) and to later reimburse such
Affiliates for the payments of such Project Costs (which reimbursement may take
the form of a distribution to such Affiliate) from the Funding Sources at the
time (if any) that the Company is able to satisfy the conditions precedent to
Advances set forth in Sections 3.2 or 3.3, as applicable.
3.7.2 Loss Proceeds. If, at any time:
(a) an Event of Loss occurs that causes the Projects to no
longer be In Balance, and
(b) as a result thereof, and in order to cause the Projects

Event of Loss and the deposit of such Loss Proceeds into the Company's Funds
Account, any Affiliate of the Company (other than any Loan Party) deposits or
causes to be deposited additional equity contributions into the Company's Funds
Account,
then, upon deposit of Loss Proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss into the
Company's Funds Account and so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after giving effect
thereto, the Company shall be entitled to submit a request for an Advance (in
form and substance, and with such attachments, certificates and exhibits, as
reasonably requested by the Disbursement Agent) requesting an Advance to be
used to make a reimbursement to such Affiliate (which reimbursement may take
the form of a distribution to such Affiliate) in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the amount of the Loss Proceeds received and deposited into the
Company's Funds Account and (ii) the amount of such additional cash equity
contribution deposited into the Company's Funds Account. Such Advance shall be
made for such purpose so long as the Company satisfies the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 3.2 or 3.3, as applicable.
3.8 CLOSING DATE TRANSACTIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, so long
as the Closing Transactions occur prior to, concurrently with, or immediately
after the Closing, the implementation of such Closing Transactions shall be

ARTICLE 4.
- REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
--------------------------------
The Company makes all of the following representations and warranties
to and in favor of each Funding Agent (so long as such Funding Agent is a party
hereto), the Lenders and the Disbursement Agent as of the Closing Date and the
date of each Advance, except as such representations relate to an earlier date
(in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in
all material respects as of such earlier date). All of these representations
and warranties shall survive the Closing Date and the Advances until, with
respect to each Funding Agent and the Lenders, the Obligations under such
Funding Agent's and Lenders' respective Facilities have been repaid in full in
immediately available funds and their respective Facility Agreements and the
other respective Financing Agreements and the commitments thereunder have
terminated. The following representations and warranties are made (i) as to the
Phase I Project prior to the Phase I Final Completion Date only and (ii) as to
the Phase II Project, after the Phase II Approval Date.
4.1 PERMITS. There are no material Permits that are required or will
become required under existing Legal Requirements by any Loan Party or any
Contractor for the ownership, development, construction, financing or operation
of the Projects, other than: (a) with respect to the Phase I Project, the
Permits described in Exhibit J-1 and (b) with respect to the Phase II Project,
from and after the Phase II Approval Date, Exhibit J-2. Exhibit J-1 and, from
and after the Phase II Approval Date, the Permits described in Exhibit J-2
accurately state the stage in construction by which each such Permit is
required to be obtained. Each material Permit described in Exhibit J-1 and,
from and after the Phase II Approval Date, Exhibit J-2, as required to be
obtained by the date that this representation is deemed to be made is in full
force and effect and is not at such time subject to any appeals or further
proceedings or to any unsatisfied condition (that is required to be satisfied
by the date that this representation is deemed to be made) that could
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely modify any material Permit,
to revoke any material Permit, to restrain or prevent the construction or
operation of the Projects or otherwise impose adverse conditions on the
Projects or the financing contemplated under the Financing Agreements. Each
material Permit described in Exhibit J-1 and, from and after the Phase II
Approval Date, Exhibit J-2, as not required to have been obtained by the date
that this representation is deemed to be made (other than Gaming/Liquor
Licenses and any massage or second-hand dealer licenses to be issued by Clark
County) is of a type that is routinely granted on application and compliance
with the conditions for issuance. The Company has no reason to believe that any
material Permit so indicated will not be obtained before it becomes necessary
for the ownership, development, construction, financing or operation of the
Projects or that obtaining such Permit will result in undue expense or delay.
Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates are in violation of any condition
in any Permit the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Exhibit J-1 and Exhibit J-2 may be updated from time
to time by the Company in response to changes in Legal Requirements and such
updates shall be effective upon the delivery of such updated exhibits to the
Disbursement Agent and the Construction Consultant.
4.2 IN BALANCE REQUIREMENT. As of each Advance Date the Projects are
In Balance.
4.3 SUFFICIENCY OF INTERESTS AND PROJECT DOCUMENTS.
4.3.1 The Company owns the Site and the Site Easements (other than
the Mortgaged Property encumbered or to be encumbered by Wynn Golf and Wynn
Sunrise) in fee simple. The Company has a valid leasehold estate or easement
interest, as the case may be, in the portions of the Site described in the
Affiliate Real Estate Agreements. Except as permitted by the Bank Credit
Agreement and the 2014 Notes Indenture, Wynn Golf owns the Golf Course Land
(including the Home Site Land and the Wynn Home Site) and the Golf Course Land
Easements in fee simple and Wynn Sunrise owns the Wynn Sunrise Land and Wynn
Sunrise Easements in fee simple.
4.3.2 Each of the Funding Agents has received a true, complete and
correct copy of each of the Material Project Documents in effect or required to
be in effect as of the date this representation is made or deemed made
(including all exhibits, schedules, material side letters and material
disclosure letters referred to therein or delivered pursuant thereto, if any).
A list of (a) all Project Documents that are Contracts and (b) all other
Material Project Documents, in each case, that have been entered into as of the
Closing Date and are necessary to the construction or operation of the Phase I
Project (excluding Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business
for services or materials that are easily obtained from replacement contractors
or vendors on similar terms and any Project Document with a total contract
amount or value of less than $15,000,000) is attached hereto as Exhibit Q-5.
Each representation and warranty of (a) each Loan Party set forth in Article 4
hereof or in any of the other Financing Agreements shall be true and correct in
all material respects as if made on the Closing Date (except that any
representation and warranty that relates expressly to an earlier date shall be
deemed made only as of such earlier date), (b) each Loan Party set forth in
each Material Project Document was true and correct in all material respects on
the date made in the applicable documents and (c) to the Company's knowledge,
each Major Project Participant (other than any Loan Party) set forth in any of
the Material Project Documents was true and correct in all material respects on
the date made in the applicable document, unless the failure of any such
representation and warranty referred to in clauses (b) or (c) to be true and
correct could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.3.3 All conditions precedent to the obligations of the
respective parties (other than the Company) under the Material Project
Documents have been satisfied, except for immaterial conditions waived by the
Loan Parties and except for such conditions precedent which by their terms
cannot be met until a later stage in the construction or operation of the
Projects, and the Company has no reason to believe that any such condition
precedent the failure to satisfy which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect cannot be satisfied on or prior to the appropriate
stage in the development, construction or operation of the Projects.
4.4 PROJECT BUDGET; SUMMARY ANTICIPATED COST REPORT.

9.2.1 Commencing upon execution and delivery hereof, the
Disbursement Agent shall have the right to meet periodically at reasonable
times, however no less frequently than quarterly, upon three (3) Banking Days'
notice, with representatives of the Company, the Construction Consultant, the
Primary Contractors and the Project Architects. The Disbursement Agent may (or
may instruct the Construction Consultant to) perform such inspections of the
Projects as it deems reasonably appropriate in the performance of its duties
hereunder. In addition, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right at
reasonable times upon prior notice to review all relevant information
(including Project Documents) in the Company's possession supporting the
amendments to the Project Budgets, amendments to any Project Documents, the
Company's Advance Requests and any certificates in support of any of the
foregoing, to inspect materials stored on the Mortgaged Property or at any
other location, to review the insurance required pursuant to the terms of the
Financing Agreements, to confirm receipt of endorsements from the Title Insurer
insuring the continuing priority of the liens of the Deeds of Trust as security
for each Advance hereunder, and to examine the Plans and Specifications and all
shop drawings relating to the Projects. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to
contact (or to instruct the Construction Consultant to contact) any Contractor
for purposes of confirming receipt of progress payments. From time to time, at
the request of the Disbursement Agent, the Company shall make available to the
Disbursement Agent the Project Schedule. The Company agrees to cooperate with
the Disbursement Agent in assisting the Disbursement Agent to perform its
duties hereunder and to take such further steps as the Disbursement Agent
reasonably may request in order to facilitate the Disbursement Agent's
performance of its obligations hereunder.
9.2.2 Powers, Rights and Remedies. The Disbursement Agent is
authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers, rights and
remedies under this Agreement as are specifically delegated or granted to the
Disbursement Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, rights and
remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Disbursement Agent agrees to
act in accordance with the instructions of the Bank Agent and in the absence of
such instructions shall take such actions or refrain from acting as it deems
reasonable subject to any express requirements of this Agreement. The
Disbursement Agent shall not act in accordance with the instructions of the
2014 Notes Indenture Trustee, and the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee shall not
give any instructions to the Disbursement Agent (except, in each case, for
instructions relating to the 2014 Notes Proceeds Account). The Bank Agent shall
be entitled to give instructions to the Disbursement Agent without consulting
with the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee (except for instructions relating to the
2014 Notes Proceeds Account).
9.2.3 No Risk of Own Funds. None of the provisions of this
Agreement shall require the Disbursement Agent to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
(in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Disbursement Agent, as finally, judicially determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction) if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
9.2.4 No Imputed Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, if the entity acting as Disbursement Agent also
serves as the Collateral Agent or Funding Agent under the Financing Agreements,
and except if such functions shall be performed by the same individuals within
such entity, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Disbursement Agent
shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of any fact known to such entity in
its capacity as the Collateral Agent or Funding Agent by reason of the fact
that the Disbursement Agent and the Collateral Agent or Funding Agent, as the
case may be, are the same entity. Except as aforesaid, no knowledge of the
collateral agent or any Funding Agent shall be attributed to the Disbursement
Agent. The Disbursement Agent's duties and functions hereunder shall in no way
impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or
obligations upon the Disbursement Agent in its capacity as Bank Agent or as
Lender. With respect to its participation in the extensions of credit under the
Bank Credit Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall have the same rights and
powers thereunder as any other Funding Agent or Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not performing its duties and functions hereunder. The
Disbursement Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to

business with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and may accept fees and
other consideration from the Company for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

incurred or made by the Disbursement Agent in accordance herewith. The
obligations of the Company under this Section 9.5 to compensate the

more than one category or grade of such minimum rating, as the case may be; and
(e) with respect to any replacement of the Person acting as Disbursement Agent
as of the Closing Date, shall be acceptable to each of the Bank Agent and the
Company (so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default then
exists) and the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee acting pursuant to the
Intercreditor Agreement. In case at any time the Disbursement Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.6, the
Disbursement Agent shall resign immediately upon appointment of a successor
Disbursement Agent in accordance with Section 9.7.
9.7 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE DISBURSEMENT AGENT. The Bank Agent
and the 2014 Notes Indenture Trustee, acting pursuant to the Intercreditor
Agreement, shall have the right should they reasonably determine that the

of thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice of substitution to the
Disbursement Agent and the Company, to cause the Disbursement Agent to be
relieved of its duties hereunder and to select a substitute disbursement agent

Agent, shall, if eligible hereunder, be the successor of the Disbursement Agent
hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 9.6 without the execution or filing of any paper with any
party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except
where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such
succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

application of all disbursements; and (d) the Disbursement Agent is not
obligated to supervise, inspect or inform the Company of any aspect of the
development, construction or operation of the Projects or any other matter
referred to above. Each Funding Agent, each 2014 Noteholder, and each Bank
Lender (by its execution and delivery of the Bank Credit Agreement or
acceptance of an assignment thereof in accordance with the terms of the Bank
Credit Agreement) has made its own independent investigation of the financial
condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making of the
extensions of credit contemplated by the Financing Agreements and has made and
shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan

its Affiliates. Neither the Disbursement Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be in any manner liable or responsible for
any loss or damage arising by reason of any act or omission to act by it or
them hereunder or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including, but not limited to, any loss that may occur by reason of
forgery, false representations, the exercise of its discretion, or any other
reason, except as a result of their bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or

jurisdiction.
