NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Wynn Resorts” or the “Company”), was formed in June 2002 and completed an initial public offering of its common stock on October 25, 2002. Wynn Resorts’ predecessor, Valvino Lamore, LLC (“Valvino”), was formed on April 21, 2000 as a Nevada limited liability company to purchase the Desert Inn Resort and Casino for the site of the Company’s first casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, hereinafter referred to as “Wynn Las Vegas”.

In June 2002, Valvino’s indirect subsidiary, Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. (“Wynn Macau, S.A.”), entered into an agreement with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”), granting Wynn Macau, S.A. the right to construct and operate one or more casino gaming properties in Macau. Wynn Macau, S.A.’s first casino resort in Macau is hereinafter referred to as “Wynn Macau”.

The Company currently owns and operates two casino hotel resort properties, Wynn Las Vegas, which opened on April 28, 2005 and Wynn Macau, which opened on September 6, 2006. In addition, the Company is constructing “Encore at Wynn Las Vegas” or “Encore” and continues development of the second phase of Wynn Macau, as well as the Diamond Suites hotel tower at Wynn Macau. Encore will be fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas and is being constructed on 20 acres of land immediately adjacent to Wynn Las Vegas. Encore is expected to open to the public in early 2009. The second phase of Wynn Macau will be fully integrated into the first phase and is being constructed on the five remaining acres of the 16 acres of land for Wynn Macau. Wynn Macau intends to open approximately 20,000 square feet of additional gaming space and one restaurant in the expansion area in the third quarter of 2007. Further expansion areas are expected to open by Chinese New Year, 2008.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in the 50%-owned joint ventures operating the Ferrari and Maserati automobile dealership and the Brioni mens’ retail clothing store inside Wynn Las Vegas are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounts receivable and credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues credit in the form of “markers” to approved

(Unaudited)

 

casino customers following investigations of creditworthiness. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 63% and 59%, respectively, of the Company’s markers were due from customers residing outside the United States, primarily in Asia. Business or economic conditions or other significant events in these countries could affect the collectibility of such receivables.

Accounts receivable, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Company’s receivables to their carrying amount, which approximates fair value. The allowance is estimated based on specific review of customer accounts as well as management’s experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions.

Inventories

Inventories consist of retail, food and beverage items, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value, and certain operating supplies. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, average and specific identification methods.

Revenue recognition and promotional allowances

Casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in the customers’ possession. Hotel, food and beverage, entertainment and other operating revenues are recognized when services are performed. Advance deposits on rooms and advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenues until services are provided to the customer.

Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) consensus on Issue 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products)”. EITF 01-9 requires that sales incentives be recorded as a reduction of revenue; consequently, the Company’s casino revenues are reduced by discounts, certain commissions and points earned in customer loyalty programs, such as the players club loyalty program.

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances is primarily included in casino expenses as follows (amounts in thousands):

are included in general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, advertising costs totaled approximately $5.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, advertising costs totaled approximately $13.6 million and $11.6 million, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for 2006 have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The interpretation provides guidance on classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and translation. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement was effective January 1, 2007. The Company recorded a $2 million cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. See Note 15 for additional information.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements after it is adopted on January 1, 2008.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)”. The EITF reached a consensus that the presentation of taxes on either a gross or net basis is an accounting policy decision that requires disclosure. EITF Issue No. 06-03 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has historically and will continue to record taxes collected from customers on a net basis. Accordingly, the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-03 did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operation or financial position.

3. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” which provides for the reporting of “basic,” or undiluted, earnings per share (“EPS”) and “diluted” EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the addition of potentially dilutive securities, which for the Company include: stock options, nonvested stock, and the 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 (the “Debentures”) which were called for redemption in July 2007 (see Note 8).

   112,111    99,830    112,237    99,286
                   

The calculation of diluted EPS for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 also includes an addition to net income of $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, to reflect the interest expense, net of related tax effects that would not have been incurred on the Debentures, if converted.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred a net loss. As a result, basic EPS is equal to diluted EPS for those periods. The calculation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2006 excludes the following anti-dilutive securities: 3,329,750 shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, 270,000 shares under nonvested stock grants and 9,768,948 shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures.

$1 Billion Term Loan

On June 21, 2007, the Company entered into a $1 billion term loan facility (“Term Loan”). Borrowings under the Term Loan are available in the form of a delayed-draw term loan facility available through December 31, 2007, with the option to increase the facility to $1.25 billion if certain conditions are met. The Term Loan will mature and be payable on June 21, 2010. The Company may use the Term Loan to fund (a) the Company’s equity repurchase program announced on June 7, 2007, (b) up to $150 million in swing line (overnight) borrowings and (c) up to $350 million for general corporate purposes.

Loans under the Term Loan will accrue interest, at the election of the Company, at either the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) or a Base Rate, plus a borrowing margin as described below. Interest on LIBOR loans shall be payable at the end of the applicable interest period in the case of interest periods of one, two or three months, and every three months in the case of interest periods of six months or longer. Base Rate loans are expected to bear interest at (a) the greater of (i) the rate most recently announced by Deutsche Bank as its “prime rate,” or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% per annum; plus (b) a borrowing margin as described below. Interest on Base Rate loans will be payable quarterly in arrears. The borrowing margin is 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 1% for Base Rate loans, if Wynn Resorts, Limited and Wynn Macau’s combined net liquidity is equal to or greater than $400 million and 2.50% for LIBOR loans and 1.25% for Base Rate loans, if such net liquidity is less than $400 million. The Company will pay 112.5 bps per annum of the actual daily amount by which the actual Term Loan commitment exceeds the outstanding amount of the Term Loan.

Redemption of 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due July 15, 2015

On June 15, 2007, the Company announced that it had called for redemption on July 20, 2007, all of the outstanding principal amount of its 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 (the “Debentures”). Prior

to redemption, in July 2007 all of the holders converted their Debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $23 per share (a conversion rate of approximately 43.4782 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures). Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. As a result, in July 2007 $224.1 million principal amount of the debentures were converted into 9,744,680 shares of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, in July 2007 long-term debt was reduced by $224.1 million, equity was increased by $218.9 million, and deferred financing costs were reduced by approximately $5.2 million.

Wynn Macau Credit Facilities

On June 27, 2007, Wynn Macau amended its credit facilities dated September 14, 2005 and entered into related amendments and agreements with a syndicate of lenders. The amended agreements took effect on June 29, 2007 and expand availability under Wynn Macau’s existing senior bank facility from US $764 million to US $1.550 billion, including a US $550 million equivalent in fully-funded senior term loan facilities, and a US $1 billion senior revolving credit facility. Wynn Macau also has the ability to upsize the total facilities by an additional US $50 million pursuant to the terms and provisions of the agreements. All of the senior credit facilities described above are collectively referred to herein as the “senior secured credit facilities”.

The term loan facilities mature in June 2014, and the revolving credit facility matures in June 2012. The principal amount of the term loans is required to be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing in September 2011. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities will bear interest at LIBOR or the Hong Kong Interbank Offer Rate (“HIBOR”) plus a margin of 1.75%.

As part of the amendment to the Macau senior secured credit facilities, Wynn Resorts, Limited’s remaining support obligations to Wynn Macau and the US $30 million in contingent equity previously provided by the Company has been released.

$44.75 Million Note Payable

On March 30, 2007, World Travel, LLC, a subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, refinanced the $44.75 million note payable. The new loan has a principal balance of $42 million and is due April 1, 2017. The loan is guaranteed by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and secured by a first priority security interest in one of the Company’s two aircraft. Principal and interest are due quarterly with a balloon payment of $28 million due at maturity. Interest is calculated at 90-day LIBOR plus 125 basis points. In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred a loss from extinguishment of debt of $157,000 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the original loan.

10. Property Charges and Other

Property charges and other for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $13 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Property charges and other for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $26.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

In January 2007, the Company decided to abandon this parking garage to make room for the Wynn Diamond Suites expansion. The remaining property charges were related to the renovations to portions of the Le Rêve Theatre at Wynn Las Vegas and the remodeling of certain areas at Wynn Macau.

11. Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has entered into floating-for-fixed interest rate swap arrangements relating to two of its debt facilities. The Company accounts for its interest rate swaps in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and its related interpretations. These interest rate swaps essentially fix the interest rate at the percentages noted below, however, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for each reporting period have been recorded in the increase (or decrease) in swap fair value as a component of other income (expense), because the interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The following table represents the historical asset (liability) fair values (reflected in deposits and other assets or in other long-term liabilities as appropriate) as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The fair value approximates the amount the Company would receive if these contracts were settled at the respective valuation dates. Fair value is estimated based upon current, and predictions of future, interest rate levels along a yield curve, the remaining duration of the instruments and other market conditions, and therefore, is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods.

rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.793% on the $200 million notional amount and receives payments based on LIBOR. This swap fixes the interest rate at approximately 5.7% on $200 million of the outstanding $225 million term loan. This swap terminates in December 2008.

Wynn Macau Swaps

The Company entered into two interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on future borrowings under Wynn Macau S.A.’s senior term loan facility. Under the first swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 4.84% on borrowings estimated to be incurred under the senior term loan facility up to a maximum of approximately $198.2 million, in exchange for receipts on the same amounts at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. Under the second swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 4.77% on borrowings estimated to be incurred under the senior term loan facility up to a maximum of approximately HK$1.1 billion (approximately US$140.1 million), in exchange for receipts on the same amounts at a variable interest rate based on the applicable HIBOR at the time of payment. Both swap agreements terminate on November 28, 2008.

These interest rate swaps are expected to be highly effective in fixing the interest rate on approximately 100% of the US dollar and approximately 35% of the Hong Kong dollar borrowings under the senior bank facility at approximately 6.59% and 6.52%, respectively.

12. Share-Based Compensation

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Encore

Encore Construction and Development. Encore’s current design includes a 2,034 all-suite hotel tower fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas, as well as an approximately 72,000 square foot casino, additional convention and meeting space, as well as restaurants, a nightclub, swimming pools, a spa and salon and retail outlets. The Company commenced construction of Encore on April 28, 2006 and expects to open Encore to the public by early 2009.

The project budget for Encore is currently estimated at approximately $2.2 billion, consisting of approximately $2.1 billion for Encore and approximately $100 million for an employee parking garage on the Koval property, an associated pedestrian bridge and costs incurred in connection with the theatre remodeling and production of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” at Wynn Las Vegas. The project is being funded from the Company’s existing Credit Facilities and operating cash flow from Wynn Las Vegas. To the extent additional funds are required, the Company will provide these amounts with additional debt and equity contributions by Wynn Resorts or additional indebtedness to be incurred by Wynn Las Vegas.

On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Design Build Architectural, Engineering and Construction Services Agreement (the “Contract”) with Tutor-Saliba Corporation (“Tutor”) for the design and construction of Encore. The Contract sets forth all of the terms and conditions pursuant to which Tutor will design and construct Encore. In June 2007, the Company and Tutor executed the first amendment to the Contract which set the guaranteed maximum price for work under the Contract at $1.3 billion. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Contract, Tutor and the Ronald N. Tutor Separate Trust (the “Trust”) have entered into and consented to a Net Worth Agreement pursuant to which (x) the Trust agreed that it will retain its current majority holdings of Tutor and (y) the Trust and Tutor agreed that during the term of the Contract, Tutor will maintain (i) net worth of at least $100 million, and (ii) liquid assets of at least $50 million. Through June 30, 2007, the Company incurred approximately $567 million of project costs related to the development and construction of Encore and related capital improvements.

Completion Guarantee and Liquidity Reserve. As part of the Wynn Las Vegas financing, the Company contributed $50 million of the net proceeds of the initial public offering of Wynn Resorts’ common stock to Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC, a special purpose subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC formed in October 2002 and deposited those funds into a completion guarantee deposit account to secure completion of Wynn Las Vegas. As referenced in Note 8, in April 2007, all amounts in excess of $30 million were released as a result of the April 2007 amendment to the Credit Facilities. The remaining $30 million will be retained as Encore’s completion guarantee.

The Company also deposited $30 million from the net proceeds of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock into a liquidity reserve account to secure the completion and opening of Wynn Las Vegas. All funds in this account were released as a result of the April 2007 amendment to the Credit Facilities.

These released funds are expected to be applied to construction costs to be incurred in connection with Encore.

Wynn Macau

Construction and Development. The Company began construction on Wynn Macau in June 2004, under a guaranteed maximum price construction contract (“the Construction Contract”) between Wynn Macau, S.A. and

Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited, China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong) Limited and China Construction Engineering (Macau) Company Limited, acting together as general contractor. In September 2005, the Construction Contract was amended and restated to include the second phase of Wynn Macau. Wynn Macau opened to the public on September 6, 2006. The Company intends to open approximately 20,000 square feet of additional gaming space and one restaurant in the second phase in the third quarter of 2007. Further expansion areas are expected to open by Chinese New Year, 2008.

In addition, the Company continues to develop the plans for a further expansion of Wynn Macau, the Wynn Diamond Suites, which was first announced in November 2006. This further expansion will add a second fully-integrated resort hotel named “Wynn Diamond Suites” to Wynn Macau, with approximately 400 luxury suites and villas, along with restaurants, additional retail space and additional VIP gaming space. In July 2007, Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. issued a notice to proceed to the general contractor with respect to approximately $347.8 million of construction costs relating to the construction of Wynn Diamond Suites. While the complete project budget is still being finalized, the Company expects total costs to be in the range of $550 to $600 million. The Company expects Wynn Diamond Suites to open to the public in the first half of 2010.

Under the amended and restated Construction Contract, the general contractor is responsible for both the construction and design of the first and second phases of Wynn Macau (other than certain limited portions to be designed by an affiliate of Wynn Macau, S.A.) based on an existing scope of work and design specifications provided by Wynn Macau, S.A. The performance of the contractors is backed by a full completion guarantee given jointly and severally by Leighton Holdings Limited and China Overseas Holdings Limited, the parent companies of the general contractor.

Through June 30, 2007, the Company had incurred approximately $1 billion of the approximate total $1.2 billion of budgeted project costs for Wynn Macau (excluding Wynn Diamond Suites).

Land Concession Contract. In June 2004, Wynn Macau, S.A. entered into a land concession contract for the Wynn Macau project site. Under the land concession contract, Wynn Macau, S.A. leases a parcel of approximately 16 acres from the Macau government for an initial term of 25 years, with a right to renew for additional periods. Wynn Macau, S.A. has made six payments to the Macau government under the land concession contract and is required to make five additional semi-annual payments (including interest) for total payments of approximately $42.7 million. Wynn Macau, S.A. also paid approximately $17.9 million to an unrelated third party for its relinquishment of rights to a portion of the land. During the term of the land concession contract, Wynn Macau, S.A. is also required to make annual lease payments of up to $400,000.

Cotai Development

The Company has submitted an application with the government of Macau for a concession of land in Cotai for future development. The Company recently reconfigured its site plans for 52 acres and is awaiting final approval.

Litigation

The Company does not have any material litigation as of June 30, 2007.

15. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions where the Company operates. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial

statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company has recognized a total liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $45.4 million, $2 million of which was accounted for as an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of accumulated deficit as a cumulative effect adjustment. Approximately $2 million of such unrecognized tax benefit would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the total liability increased by approximately $1.7 million. If incurred, the Company would recognize penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized no amounts for interest or penalties.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has filed domestic income tax returns for the years 2002 to 2005 and foreign income tax returns for 2002 to 2006. The Company’s 2002 to 2005 domestic income tax returns remain subject to examination by the IRS and the Company’s 2002 to 2006 Macau income tax returns remain subject to examination by the Macau Finance Bureau.

There was no domestic tax provision/benefit recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 because of the Company’s domestic net operating loss carryforwards. There is no current domestic provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, because of the Company’s domestic net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a provision for income taxes as follows (amounts in thousands):

Provision for federal income taxes

   $ 13,885    $ 37,454
             

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of 13% and 20%, respectively, is lower than the U.S. Federal rate of 35% primarily due to the portion of Macau earnings that the Company considers permanently invested abroad, the lower foreign income tax rates applicable to its foreign income, and the tax holiday applicable to the earnings of Wynn Macau S.A. as described below.

Effective September 6, 2006, Wynn Macau, S.A. received a 5-year exemption from Macau’s 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits. Accordingly, the Company was exempted from the payment of approximately $12.5 million in such taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau Special Gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its concession agreement.

(2) “Adjusted Property EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, pre-opening costs, property charges and other, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, contract termination fee, and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Management uses Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its properties with those of its competitors. The Company also presents Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company’s ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including Wynn Resorts, Limited, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges and corporate expenses, which do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted Property EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income, Adjusted Property EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. The Company compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted Property EBITDA as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operations and cash flow data. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, Wynn Resorts’ calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

17. Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantors and Issuers

The following condensed consolidating financial statement information is related to Wynn Resorts (the “Parent”), which is the issuer of the Debentures, Wynn Resorts Funding, LLC, a subsidiary of the Parent that guarantees the Debentures (the “Convertible Debentures Guarantor”), and non-guarantor subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

The following condensed consolidating financial statement information is presented in the form provided because: (i) the Convertible Debentures Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent; (ii) the guarantee is considered to be full and unconditional (that is, if the Parent fails to make a scheduled payment, the Convertible Debentures Guarantor is obligated to make the scheduled payment immediately and, if it does not, any holder of the Debentures may immediately bring suit directly against the Convertible Debentures Guarantor for payment of all amounts due and payable); and (iii) the guarantee is joint and several.

Overview

We are a developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. We currently own and operate Wynn Las Vegas, a destination casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, which opened on April 28, 2005, and Wynn Macau, a destination casino resort in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”), which opened on September 6, 2006. In addition, on April 28, 2006, we commenced construction of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas (“Encore”), a hotel casino resort which, when completed, will be fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas. We are also currently expanding Wynn Macau and in November 2006, announced “Wynn Diamond Suites” an additional hotel tower for Wynn Macau. Until the opening of Wynn Las Vegas in 2005, we were solely a development stage company.

Table of Contents

In March 2007, we remodeled the Le Rêve Theatre to enhance the customer experience. The theatre went from 2,087 to 1,606 seats providing additional room for guests and a more intimate experience. The remodel effort lasted approximately 30 days from March 6, 2007 through April 4, 2007, during which time there were no performances of Le Rêve. Also, in March 2007, we commenced performances of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” in our Grail Theatre.

The resort, which is located at the intersection of the Las Vegas Strip and Sands Avenue, occupies approximately 217 acres of land fronting the Las Vegas Strip and approximately 18 additional acres across Sands Avenue, a portion of which is utilized for employee parking.

Encore at Wynn Las Vegas

We are constructing Encore on approximately 20 acres on the Las Vegas Strip, immediately adjacent to Wynn Las Vegas. Encore’s current plans include a 2,034 all-suite hotel tower fully integrated with Wynn Las Vegas, an approximately 72,000 square foot casino, additional convention and meeting space, as well as restaurants, a nightclub, swimming pools, a spa and salon and retail outlets. We continue to refine the final design of Encore. Encore is expected to open in early 2009. Our project budget is currently estimated at approximately $2.2 billion, consisting of approximately $2.1 billion for Encore and approximately $100 million for an employee parking garage on our Koval property, an associated pedestrian bridge and costs incurred in connection with the theatre remodeling and production of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” at Wynn Las Vegas, which opened March 2007.

Wynn Macau

We opened Wynn Macau on September 6, 2006. Wynn Macau is located on 11 acres of a total site area of 16 acres of land and features:

 

   

An approximately 110,000 square foot casino offering 24-hour gaming and a full range of games, including private gaming salons;

 

   

Luxury hotel accommodations in 600 rooms and suites;

 

   

Casual and fine dining in four restaurants;

 

   

Approximately 26,000 square feet of high-end, brand-name retail shopping, including stores and boutiques featuring Bulgari, Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, Piaget, Prada, Tiffany, and others;

 

   

Recreation and leisure facilities, including a health club, pool and spa; and

 

   

Lounges and meeting facilities.

Construction and development continues on the second phase. This phase includes additional gaming space, a dramatic front feature attraction, a theater showroom and additional food, beverage and retail amenities. We intend to open approximately 20,000 square feet of additional gaming space and one restaurant at Wynn Macau in this second phase in the third quarter of 2007. The remaining portion of the expansion is expected to open by Chinese New Year, 2008. After the completion of the expansion, Wynn Macau is expected to have a total of approximately 380 table games and 1,200 slot machines.

In July 2007, Wynn Macau S.A. issued a notice to proceed to the general contractor with respect to approximately $347.8 million of construction costs relating to the construction of Wynn Diamond Suites. While the complete project budget is still being finalized, we expect the costs to be in the range of $550 to $600 million. We expect Wynn Diamond Suites to open to the public in the first half of 2010. First announced in November 2006, Wynn Diamond Suites will be fully integrated into Wynn Macau and is expected to have 400 luxury suites and villas.

We operate Wynn Macau under a 20-year casino concession agreement granted by the Macau government in June 2002.

Cotai Development

We have submitted an application to the Macau government for a concession of land in Cotai. We recently reconfigured our site plan for 52 acres and are awaiting final approval.

Results of Operations

On September 6, 2006, we opened Wynn Macau and began generating operating cash flows from that project. Between April 28, 2005 and September 6, 2006, we relied solely upon the operations of Wynn Las Vegas for our operating cash flow. Prior to the opening of Wynn Las Vegas on April 28, 2005, we were solely a development stage company.

The reliance for our operating cash flow from only two properties exposes us to certain risks that our competitors, whose operations are more diversified, may be better able to control. In addition to the concentration of operations in two properties, many of our customers are high-end gaming customers who wager on credit, thus exposing us to increased credit risk. High-end gaming also increases the potential for variability in our results.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include the operations of both Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau. In contrast, the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 include a full period for Wynn Las Vegas and no operations for Wynn Macau. The table below presents our net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (amounts in thousands):

Casinos generally record win as a percentage of either drop or turnover. In our casino operations at Wynn Las Vegas, table games win is recorded as a percentage of drop. However, in our casino operations at Wynn Macau, we separate table play into two distinct segments. Our Macau VIP casino segment records table games win as a percentage of turnover, whereas our general casino records win as a percentage of drop.

Certain key operating statistics specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussions of the Company’s operational performance for the periods in which a Statement of Operations is presented. Below are definitions of the statistics discussed:

 

   

Table games win is the amount of drop or turnover that is retained and recorded as casino revenue.

 

   

Drop is the amount of cash or net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table’s drop box.

 

   

Turnover is the sum of all losing wagers within our Wynn Macau VIP program.

 

   

Slot win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained by Wynn Las Vegas or Wynn Macau and is recorded as casino revenue.

 

   

Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) is calculated by dividing total room revenue (less service charges, if any) by total rooms occupied.

Revenue per Available Room (“REVPAR”) is calculated by dividing total room revenue (less service charges, if any) by total rooms available.

Financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are comprised of $491.8 million in casino revenues (71.5% of total net revenues) and $195.7 million of net non-casino revenues (28.5% of total net revenues). Net revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were comprised of $113.5 million in casino revenues (41.5% of total net revenues) and $159.9 million of net non-casino revenues (58.5% of total net revenues). The quality of our resorts’ non-casino amenities, combined with providing guests an unparalleled total resort experience, has driven a premium in the two properties’ ADR as well as increased the length of casino play.

Casino revenues are comprised of the net win from our table games and slot machine operations. Casino revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $491.8 million represents approximately a $378.3 million (or 333.2%) increase from casino revenues of $113.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The three months ended June 30, 2007 includes a full quarter of Wynn Macau’s operations; the primary driver of this increase. At Wynn Las Vegas, we experienced a 21% increase in drop for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and the average table games win percentage (before discounts) of 24.2% was slightly above the expected range of 21% to 24%. Table games win percentage was 19.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Slot handle at Wynn Las Vegas increased 7.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2006, and the slot win percentage was within the expected range of 4.5% to 5.5%. Wynn Macau’s win percentage for the VIP casino segment of 3.3% was above the expected range of 2.7% to 3%. The average table games win percentage at the general casino at Wynn Macau of 18.4% was within the expected range of 17% to 19%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, room revenues were approximately $87.8 million, which represents a $18.6 million (or 26.8%) increase over the $69.2 million generated in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Wynn Macau generated $13.3 million of this increase in room revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

See the table below for key operating measures related to room revenue.

Other non-gaming revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 included food and beverage revenues of approximately $77.7 million, retail revenues of approximately $19.3 million, entertainment revenues of approximately $17.1 million, and other revenues from outlets, including the spa and salon, of approximately $13 million. The additional revenue earned at Wynn Macau during 2007 was the primary contributor to the increase in the food and beverage, retail and other revenues.

Departmental, Administrative and Other Expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2007, departmental expenses included casino expenses of $289.7 million, rooms expenses of $21.4 million, food and beverage expenses of $55 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $41.4 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses of approximately $74.3 million and approximately $14.4 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, departmental expenses included casino expenses of $57.9 million, room expenses of $18.1 million, food and beverage expenses of $49.4 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $34.1 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses of approximately $49 million and approximately $3.6 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable. The increase in expenses is due primarily to the inclusion of the operations of Wynn Macau, including the 39 percent gross win tax on casino revenue, and increases in Wynn Las Vegas expenses commensurate with the increase in revenues.

Pre-opening costs

Pre-opening costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $889,000 decreased by $16.1 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the opening of Wynn Macau. Pre-opening costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2007 relate to Encore and the second phase of Wynn Macau. As Encore and the second phase of Wynn Macau progress, pre-opening costs related to these projects will increase as opening approaches.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $51.9 million increased by $11.4 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to depreciation expense associated with Wynn Macau.

During the construction of Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau, costs incurred in the construction of the buildings, improvements to land and the purchases of assets for use in operations were capitalized. Once these properties opened, their assets were placed into service and we began recognizing the associated depreciation expense. The depreciation expenses will continue throughout the estimated useful lives of these assets. In addition, we continually evaluate the useful life of our property and equipment, intangibles and other assets. When circumstances require a revision to those estimates of useful life, we adjust them accordingly.

The maximum useful life of assets at Wynn Macau is the remaining life of the gaming concession or land concession, which currently expire in June 2022 and 2029, respectively. Consequently, depreciation related to Wynn Macau is charged on an accelerated basis when compared to Wynn Las Vegas.

Property charges and other

Property charges and other for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $13 million increased by approximately $10.6 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due a $10.2 million charge at Wynn Macau for the abandonment of costs related to portions of the main kitchen, warehouse, and certain restaurants to enable the main casino to be connected with the expansion.

In response to our evaluation of our properties and the reactions of our guests, we continue to make enhancements to both Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau. Costs of $2.8 million relating to assets retired as a result of these enhancement and remodel efforts for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were expensed as property charges.

Other non-operating costs and expenses

Interest and other income increased by approximately $791,000 to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to interest earned on the

remaining proceeds from the subconcession sale last September and higher interest rates earned on cash balances compared to 2006.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest of $9.2 million was $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $35.3 million, net of capitalized interest of $8.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to our increased debt outstanding year over year.

Our interest rate swaps are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. The fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase (or decrease) in swap fair value in each period. We recorded a gain of approximately $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swaps from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 we recorded a gain of $4.2 million resulting from the increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps between March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. For further information on our interest rate swaps, see Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate of 13% is lower than the U.S. Federal rate of 35% primarily due to the portion of Macau earnings that we consider permanently invested abroad, the lower foreign income tax rates applicable to our foreign income, and the tax holiday applicable to the earnings of Wynn Macau S.A., as described below. All of these factors resulted in the Company adjusting its expected annual worldwide effective tax rate to 20% from 29%.

Effective September 6, 2006, Wynn Macau, S.A. received a 5-year exemption from Macau’s 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits. Accordingly, we were exempted from the payment of approximately $7.5 million in such taxes. Our non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau Special Gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its concession agreement.

Financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are comprised of $949 million in casino revenues (71.7% of total net revenues) and $373.8 million of net non-casino revenues (28.3% of total net revenues). Net revenues for the first half of 2006 were comprised of $240 million in casino revenues (43.6% of total net revenues) and $310.6 million of net non-casino revenues (56.4% of total net revenues). The quality of our resorts’ non-casino amenities, combined with providing guests an unparalleled total resort experience, has driven a premium in our properties’ ADR as well as increased the length of casino play.

Casino revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $949 million represents approximately a $709 million (or 295.4%) increase from casino revenues of $240 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The six months ended June 30, 2007 includes a full six months of Wynn Macau’s operations; a significant driver of this increase. At Wynn Las Vegas, we experienced a 16.3% increase in drop for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the average table games win percentage (before discounts) of 25.9% was above the expected range of 21% to 24%. Table games win percentage was 19.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Slot handle at Wynn Las Vegas increased 4.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 2006, and the slot win percentage was within the expected range of 4.5% to 5.5%. Wynn Macau’s win percentage for the VIP casino segment of 3.3% was above the expected range of 2.7% to 3%. The average table games win percentage at the general casino at Wynn Macau of 18.3% was within the expected range of 17% to 19%.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, room revenues were approximately $173.1 million, which represents a $35.7 million (or 26%) increase over the $137.4 million generated in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Wynn Macau generated $25.7 million of this increase in room revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2007. See the table below for key operating measures related to room revenue.

Other non-casino revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included food and beverage revenues of approximately $180.1 million, retail revenues of approximately $56.5 million, entertainment revenues of approximately $29.6 million, and other revenues from outlets such as the spa and salon, of approximately $28.8 million. Other non-gaming revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included food and beverage revenues of approximately $152.3 million, retail revenues of approximately $36.5 million, entertainment revenues of approximately $37.5 million, and other revenues from outlets, including the spa and salon, of approximately $24.3 million. The additional revenue earned at Wynn Macau during 2007 was the primary contributor to the increase in the food and beverage, retail and other revenues. The $7.9 million decrease in entertainment revenues is primarily due to the closure of Avenue Q in May 2006 and approximately 30 fewer Le Rêve shows in March 2007 compared to March 2006 as a result of the closure of the Le Rêve theatre for modifications at Wynn Las Vegas. These decreases were offset by revenues from Monty Python’s Spamalot which opened in March 2007.

Departmental, Administrative and Other Expenses

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, departmental expenses included casino expenses of $554.4 million, rooms expenses of $42.3 million, food and beverage expenses of $109.2 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $76.5 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses of approximately $152.5 million and approximately $22.1 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, departmental expenses included casino expenses of $121.2 million, room expenses of $35.1 million, food and beverage expenses of $94.2 million, and entertainment, retail and other expenses of $66.6 million. Also included are general and administrative expenses of approximately $96 million and approximately $6.6 million charged as a provision for doubtful accounts receivable. The increase in expenses is due primarily to the inclusion of the operations of Wynn Macau, including the 39 percent gross win tax on casino revenue, and increases in Wynn Las Vegas expenses commensurate with the increase in revenues.

Pre-opening costs

Pre-opening costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $2.7 million decreased by $23.3 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the opening of Wynn Macau. Pre-opening costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007 related to advertising costs associated with the opening of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” at Wynn Las Vegas as well as costs related to Encore and the second phase of Wynn Macau. We expect that pre-opening costs will continue as construction and development of the second phase of Wynn Macau and Encore progress.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $103.4 million increased by $21.1 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to depreciation expense associated with Wynn Macau.

During the construction of Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau, costs incurred in the construction of the buildings, improvements to land and the purchases of assets for use in operations were capitalized. Once these properties opened, their assets were placed into service and we began recognizing the associated depreciation expense. The depreciation expenses will continue throughout the estimated useful lives of these assets. In addition, we continually evaluate the useful life of our property and equipment, intangibles and other assets. When circumstances require a revision to those estimates of useful life, we adjust them accordingly.

The maximum useful life of assets at Wynn Macau is the remaining life of the gaming concession or land concession, which currently expire in June 2022 and 2029, respectively. Consequently, depreciation related to Wynn Macau is charged on an accelerated basis when compared to Wynn Las Vegas.

Contract termination fee

In February 2006, we agreed with the producers of Avenue Q to end Avenue Q’s exclusive Las Vegas run at Wynn Las Vegas’ Broadway Theatre at the end of May 2006. To terminate the contract, we paid a termination fee of $5 million. This fee was recorded in the first quarter of 2006 in accordance with the liability recognition provisions of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

Property charges and other

Property charges and other for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $26.3 million increased by approximately $19 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the abandonment charges taken at Wynn Macau. In January 2007, we decided to abandon the parking garage to make way for the Wynn Diamond Suites project. We recorded a charge of $10 million during the first quarter of 2007 related to the Macau garage abandonment. In the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a $10.2 million charge at Wynn Macau for the abandonment of costs related to portions of the main kitchen, warehouse, and certain restaurants to enable the main casino to be connected with the second phase expansion.

In response to our evaluation of our properties and the reactions of our guests, we continue to make enhancements to both Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau. Costs of $6.1 million relating to assets retired as a result of these enhancement and remodel efforts for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were expensed as property charges. In the first quarter of 2007, we remodeled portions of the Le Rêve Theatre to enhance the customer experience. In the first quarter of 2007, we also remodeled the food court at Wynn Macau.

Other non-operating costs and expenses

Interest and other income increased by $4.5 million to $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to interest earned on the remaining proceeds from the subconcession sale last September and higher interest rates earned on cash balances compared to 2006.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest of $16.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $73.1 million compared to $71.3 million, net of capitalized interest of $14.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to our increased debt outstanding year over year.

Our interest rate swaps are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended. The fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as either

assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase (or decrease) in swap fair value in each period. We recorded a gain of approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 resulting from the increase in the fair value of our interest rate swaps from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we recorded a gain of $10.6 million resulting from the increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. For further information on our interest rate swaps, see Item 3—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate of 20% is lower than the U.S. Federal rate of 35% primarily due to the portion of Macau earnings that we consider permanently invested abroad, the lower tax rates applicable to our foreign income, and the tax holiday applicable to the earnings of Wynn Macau S.A. as described below.

Effective September 6, 2006, Wynn Macau, S.A. received a 5-year exemption from Macau’s 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits. Accordingly, we were exempted from the payment of approximately $12.5 million in such taxes. Our non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau Special Gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its concession agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow from Operations

Our operating cash flows are primarily affected by our operating income generated by Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau, interest paid, and non-cash charges included in operating income. Net cash provided from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $337.2 million compared to $41.5 million provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due to the operations of Wynn Macau and improved results of Wynn Las Vegas, especially in the casino department.

Capital Resources

We require a certain amount of cash on hand for operations. Our cash balances at June 30, 2007 included approximately $515 million remaining from the $900 million cash received from the sale of our subconcession on September 11, 2006. At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $838.5 million of cash and cash equivalents available for new development activities, general corporate purposes, enhancements to Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau, and to support the development and construction of Encore and the second phase of Wynn Macau. Of this amount, approximately $46.4 million is held by Wynn Resorts, Limited, which is not a guarantor of the debt of its subsidiaries, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A.

At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $40.6 million in cash and investments from the proceeds of our debt and equity financings, which is restricted for the following:

 

   

Construction, development and pre-opening expenses of Encore and;

 

   

$30 million restricted for the Encore completion guarantee.

Cash equivalents include investments in overnight money market funds. Restricted investments are kept in money market funds or relatively short-term, government-backed, marketable debt securities as required by agreements governing our debt facilities.

Investing Activities

Encore at Wynn Las Vegas

On April 28, 2006, we commenced construction on Encore. We expect to open Encore to the public in early 2009. Design and construction is progressing as expected at Encore. Current construction activities in the various project sections include the following:

 

   

The high-rise concrete pours have been completed through the 38th floor deck.

 

   

The drywall, mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in is completed up to the 10th floor and framing is completed up to the 19th floor.

 

   

Exterior glass installation is complete up to the 26th floor.

 

   

The low-rise casino concrete pours are complete.

 

   

The valet under the parking area has been poured and the columns and footings for the back of house basement are substantially complete.

 

   

The structural steel in the meeting rooms and the structural slab beneath the pool decks is in process.

 

   

Concrete has been poured for all 10 levels in the employee parking garage and the 10-level guest self park garage is substantially complete.

Our project budget is currently estimated at approximately $2.2 billion, consisting of approximately $2.1 billion for Encore and approximately $100 million for an employee parking garage on our Koval property, an associated pedestrian bridge and costs incurred in connection with the theatre remodeling and production of “Monty Python’s Spamalot” at Wynn Las Vegas. The project is being funded from our existing Credit Facilities and operating cash flow from Wynn Las Vegas. To the extent additional funds are required, we will provide these amounts with additional debt and equity contributions by Wynn Resorts or additional indebtedness to be incurred by Wynn Las Vegas.

On February 27, 2007, we entered into a Design Build Architectural, Engineering and Construction Services Agreement (the “Contract”) with Tutor-Saliba Corporation (“Tutor”) for the design and construction of Encore. The Contract sets forth all of the terms and conditions pursuant to which Tutor will design and construct Encore. In June 2007, we executed the first amendment to the Contract which set the guaranteed maximum price for work under the Contract at $1.3 billion. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Contract, Tutor and the Ronald N. Tutor Separate Trust (the “Trust”) have entered into and consented to a Net Worth Agreement pursuant to which (x) the Trust agreed that it will retain its current majority holdings of Tutor and (y) the Trust and Tutor agreed that during the term of the Contract, Tutor will maintain (i) net worth of at least $100 million, and (ii) liquid assets of at least $50 million. As of June 30, 2007, we incurred approximately $567 million of project costs related to the development and construction of Encore and related capital improvements.

The ongoing costs of Encore will be paid with funds from the following sources and in the following order of priority:

 

   

First, by using agreed amounts of excess cash flow from the operations of Wynn Las Vegas and any debt or equity contributions from Wynn Resorts or proceeds of additional debt financing at Wynn Las Vegas;

 

   

Second, by using the proceeds of borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities;

 

   

Third, by using the funds from the completion guarantee deposit account.

Wynn Las Vegas

In response to our evaluation of Wynn Las Vegas and the reactions of our guests, we continue to make certain enhancements and refinements to the property. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur

Table of Contents

capital expenditures relating to these enhancements and refinements. Under the terms of the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities, we are permitted to make up to $172.2 million of capital expenditures in 2007, of which we have expended approximately $23.8 million through June 30, 2007. The spending limit may be increased to the extent funds are contributed to Wynn Las Vegas by Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Wynn Macau

The first phase of Wynn Macau was completed, and the casino resort opened, on September 6, 2006. The construction of the expansion is progressing and is scheduled to open in stages, beginning in the third quarter of 2007. The overall Wynn Macau project remains within budget and the second phase is progressing according to our desired timeframe.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company has incurred approximately $1 billion of the total project budget (excluding Wynn Diamond Suites) of approximately $1.2 billion.

In July 2007, Wynn Macau S.A. issued a notice to proceed to the general contractor with respect to approximately $347.8 million of construction costs relating to the construction of Wynn Diamond Suites. While the complete project budget is still being finalized, we expect total cost to be in the range of $550 to $600 million. We expect Wynn Diamond Suites to open to the public in the first half of 2010.

Financing Activities

Wynn Resorts, Limited

On June 7, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.2 billion which may include purchases of both our common stock and our 6% Convertible Debentures due 2015. The repurchase program may include repurchases from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions. As of June 30, 2007, we had repurchased 1,310,834 shares of our common stock through open market purchases for a net cost of $123.4 million, at an average price of $94.13 per share.

On June 15, 2007, we announced that we had called for redemption on July 20, 2007, all of the outstanding principal amount of our 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2015 (the “Debentures”). Prior to redemption, in July 2007 all of the holders converted their Debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $23 per share (a conversion rate of approximately 43.4782 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures). Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. As a result, in July 2007, $224.1 million principal amount of the Debentures were converted into 9,744,680 shares of our common stock. Accordingly in July 2007 long-term debt was reduced by $224.1 million, equity was increased by $218.9 million, and deferred financing costs were reduced by approximately $5.2 million.

On June 21, 2007, we entered into a $1 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). Borrowings under the Term Loan are available in the form of a delayed-draw term loan facility available through December 31, 2007, with the option to increase the facility to $1.25 billion if certain conditions are met. The Term Loan will mature and be payable on June 21, 2010. We may use the Term Loan to fund (a) our equity repurchase program announced on June 7, 2007, (b) up to $150 million in swing line (overnight) borrowings, and (c) up to $350 million for general corporate purposes.

Loans under the Term Loan will accrue interest at our election of LIBOR or a Base Rate, plus a borrowing margin as described below. Interest on LIBOR loans shall be payable at the end of the applicable interest period in the case of interest periods of one, two or three months, and every three months in the case of interest periods of six months or longer. Base Rate loans are expected to bear interest at (a) the greater of (i) the rate most recently announced by Deutsche Bank as its “prime rate,” or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% per annum; plus (b) a borrowing margin as described below. Interest on Base Rate loans will be payable quarterly in

arrears. The borrowing margin is 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 1% for Base Rate loans, if the Company’s net liquidity is equal to or greater than $400 million and 2.50% for LIBOR loans and 1.25% for Base Rate loans, if the Company’s net liquidity is less than $400 million. For borrowings under the Term Loan, we expect to elect interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% on the outstanding balance. We will pay 112.5 bps per annum of the actual daily amount by which the actual Term Loan commitment exceeds the outstanding amount of the Term Loan.

Wynn Las Vegas and Encore

As of June 30, 2007, our Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities consist of a $900 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and $225 million term loan facility (the “Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan”). For borrowings under the Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan we have elected, and expect to continue to elect, Eurodollar loans which bear interest at the 1-month LIBOR and include a margin of 1.875% on that outstanding balance. We have a $200 million notional amount interest rate swap to essentially fix the interest on $200 million of the Wynn Las Vegas Term Loan at the rate of 5.7% per annum. (For further information, see Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Discussions about Market Risk”.)

As of June 30, 2007, there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolver. Consequently, $900 million remains available under the Revolver for future borrowings for the construction of Encore or for other uses as necessary. For borrowings under the Revolver, we have elected, and expect to continue to elect, Eurodollar loans, which bear interest at the 1-month LIBOR and currently include a margin of 1.625% on the outstanding balance. After opening Encore, the margin will fluctuate between a range of 1% to 1.75%, depending on our leverage ratio. In addition to interest, we also pay quarterly in arrears, an annual rate of 0.375% on the daily average of unborrowed availability under the Revolver. After the opening of Encore, the annual fee that we will be required to pay for unborrowed availability under the Revolver will be based on our leverage ratio and will range from an annual rate of 0.25% to 0.50%.

The $900 million Revolver will terminate and be payable in full on August 15, 2011. The Term Loan will mature in two installments: $112.5 million will be payable on September 30, 2012 and the remaining $112.5 million will be payable on August 15, 2013.

The Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities are obligations of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and are guaranteed by and secured by substantially all of the assets (except the corporate aircraft) of each of its subsidiaries (other than Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC). The obligations of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and the guarantors under the Credit Facilities rank pari passu in right of payment with their existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness with respect to the First Mortgage Notes and senior in right of payment to all of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

In April 2007, we amended our Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities to: (a) have the Final Completion as defined, be deemed satisfied for Wynn Las Vegas with the resulting release of (i) all amounts in excess of $30 million, which amount must remain for the completion of Encore, from the Completion Guaranty Deposit Account, ($24.6 million), and (ii) the balance of funds in the Project Liquidity Reserve Account ($32.8 million), (b) increase the permitted expenditures for Encore from $300 million to $500 million prior to the execution of a guaranteed maximum price construction contract, and (c) permit the issuance of up to $500 million of unsecured debt as and when permitted under the indenture governing the First Mortgage Notes.

$32.5 Million Term Loan for Aircraft

On May 10, 2007, World Travel G-IV, a subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, entered into a term loan credit facility to finance the purchase of an aircraft. We may borrow up to $32.5 million under this term loan facility of which approximately $25 million has been drawn through June 30, 2007. The loan will bear interest at LIBOR plus

 

41


Table of Contents

1.15% and will mature on August 10, 2012. Principle and interest payments will be made quarterly beginning July 1, 2007. Principle payments will be approximately $542,000 with a balloon payment of $21.1 million due at maturity.

Wynn Macau

On June 27, 2007, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A., amended its credit facilities, dated September 14, 2005 (“Amended Common Terms Agreement”), and entered into other related amendments and agreements with a syndicate of lenders. The Amended Common Terms Agreement and related agreements took effect on June 29, 2007 and expand availability under Wynn Macau, S.A.’s existing senior bank facility from US$764 million to US$1.550 billion, including a US$550 million equivalent fully funded senior term loan facility, and a US$1 billion senior revolving credit facility. Wynn Macau, S.A. also has the ability to upsize the total facilities by an additional US$50 million pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Amended Common Terms Agreement. All of the senior credit facilities described above are collectively referred to herein as the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”.

The term loan facilities mature in June 2014, and the revolving credit facility matures in June 2012. The principal amount of the term loans is required to be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing in September 2011. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at LIBOR or HIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be used to complete the expansion of Wynn Macau and fund pre-opening expenses for the expansion, to finance the development of the Wynn Diamond Suites, make investments in other projects in and around Macau and for general corporate purposes.

As part of the amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Wynn Resorts Limited’s remaining support obligations to Wynn Macau and US $30 million in contingent equity previously provided by the Company have been released.

Collateral for the Wynn Macau senior bank facility consists of substantially all of the assets of Wynn Macau, S.A. Certain affiliates that own interests in Wynn Macau, S.A., either directly or indirectly through other subsidiaries, have executed guarantees of the loans and pledged their interests in Wynn Macau, S.A. as additional security for repayment of the loans.

$44.75 Million Note Payable

On March 30, 2007, World Travel, LLC, a subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, refinanced the $44.75 million note payable. The new loan has a principal balance of $42 million and is due April 1, 2017. The loan is guaranteed by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and secured by a first priority security interest in one of the Company’s two aircraft. Principal and interest are due quarterly with a balloon payment of $28 million due at maturity. Interest is calculated at the 90-day LIBOR plus 125 basis points. In connection with this transaction, we incurred a loss from extinguishment of debt of $157,000 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the original loan.

Contractual Obligation and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business during the first half of the year to our contractual obligations or off balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except as follows. As of June 30, 2007, we had borrowed $100 million under a $1 billion term loan facility entered into on June 21, 2007 which will primarily be used to fund the $1.2 billion board approved equity repurchase program. The term loan will mature and be payable on June 21, 2010. Additionally, in June 2007, our obligations over the next 1 to 3 years under construction contracts and commitments increased by $1.3 billion upon our execution of a first amendment to the Contract with our contractor for the construction of Encore.

Other Liquidity Matters

Wynn Resorts is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends is dependent on its subsidiaries’ ability to provide funds to it. Restrictions imposed by our subsidiaries’ debt instruments significantly restrict certain key subsidiaries holding a majority of our assets, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A., from making dividends or distributions to us. Specifically, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture governing the First Mortgage Notes from making certain “restricted payments” as defined in the indenture. These restricted payments include the payment of dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect holders of equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. These restricted payments may not be made unless certain financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied. The other Credit Facilities of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A. contain similar restrictions; although the Wynn Macau, S.A. loan agreements permit distribution of the net proceeds of the subconcession sale.

If completion of Encore or the second phase of Wynn Macau is delayed, then our debt service obligations accruing prior to the actual opening will increase correspondingly. Wynn Las Vegas will fund its operations and capital requirements from operating cash flow and remaining availability under Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s Credit Facilities. We cannot assure you, however, that Wynn Las Vegas will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings available to us under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities will be sufficient to enable us to service and repay Wynn Las Vegas, LLC’s indebtedness and to fund its other liquidity needs. Similarly, we expect that Wynn Macau will fund Wynn Macau, S.A.’s debt service obligations with operating cash flow and remaining availability under its Senior Secured Credit Facility. However, we cannot assure you that operating cash flows and available borrowings will be sufficient to do so. We may refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of the indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all.

New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in Las Vegas, as well as other domestic or international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any other development would require us to obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts or through subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas or Macau-related entities.

Wynn Resorts’ articles of incorporation provide that Wynn Resorts may redeem shares of its capital stock, including its common stock, that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates to the extent a gaming authority makes a determination of unsuitability and orders the redemption, or to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by our Board of Directors. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note or both, as required by the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as we elect. Any promissory note that we issue to an unsuitable person or its affiliate in exchange for its shares could increase our debt to equity ratio and will increase our leverage ratio.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A description of our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There has been no material change to these policies for the six months ended June 30, 2007, other than as related to the allowance for estimated doubtful accounts receivable and income taxes as noted below.

Allowance for Estimated Doubtful Accounts Receivable

A substantial portion of our outstanding receivables relates to casino credit play. Credit play, through the issuance of markers, represents a significant portion of the table games volume at Wynn Las Vegas. However, the issuance of credit at Wynn Macau is less significant when compared to Wynn Las Vegas. We maintain strict controls over the issuance of credit and aggressively pursue collection from those customers who fail to pay their

balances in a timely fashion. These collection efforts may include the mailing of statements and delinquency notices, personal contacts, the use of outside collection agencies, and litigation. Markers issued at Wynn Las Vegas are generally legally enforceable instruments in the United States, and United States assets of foreign customers may be used to satisfy judgments entered in the United States.

The enforceability of markers and other forms of credit related to gaming debt outside of the United States varies from country to country. Some foreign countries do not recognize the enforceability of gaming related debt, or make enforcement particularly burdensome. We closely consider the likelihood and difficulty of enforceability, among other factors, when issuing credit to customers who are not residents of the United States. In addition to our internal credit and collection departments, located in both Las Vegas and Macau, we have a network of legal, accounting and collection professionals to assist us in our determinations regarding enforceability and our overall collection efforts.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 63% and 59% of our casino accounts receivable were owed by customers from foreign countries, primarily in Asia. The collectibility of markers given by foreign customers is affected by a number of factors including changes in currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the customers’ home countries.

We regularly evaluate our reserve for bad debts based on a specific review of customer accounts as well as management’s prior experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions.

The following table presents key statistics related to our casino accounts receivable (amounts in thousands):

 

    

June 30,

2007

   

December 31,

2006

 

Casino accounts receivable

   $ 147,695     $ 148,929  

Allowance for doubtful casino accounts receivable

   $ 55,077     $ 35,183  

Allowance as a percentage of casino accounts receivable

     37.3 %     23.6 %

Percentage of casino accounts receivable outstanding over 180 days

     20.6 %     13.9 %

The increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of casino accounts receivable is due to a normal increase in casino accounts receivable outstanding over 180 days. While collection efforts remain active, it is our current policy to fully reserve all accounts over one year old. Our reserve methodology is applied consistently to credit extended at both Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 27% and 10% respectively, of our outstanding casino account receivable balances originated at Wynn Macau.

As our customer payment experience evolves, we will continue to refine our estimated reserve for bad debts. Accordingly, the associated provision for doubtful accounts expense may fluctuate. Because individual customer account balances can be significant, the reserve and the provision can change significantly between periods, as information about a certain customer becomes known or as changes in a region’s economy or legal system occur.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions where the Company operates. We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

44


Table of Contents

SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not. Otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied. During our development stage, we accumulated significant net operating losses, which generated significant deferred tax assets. Because of the Company’s limited operating history, we had previously fully reserved these net deferred tax assets. On September 11, 2006, we recorded a gain on the sale of the subconcession right. Accordingly we determined that a substantial portion of these net deferred tax assets have become more likely than not realizable as defined by SFAS No. 109.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on the criteria of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. The Interpretation prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. As a result, the Company’s income tax recognition policy related to uncertain income tax positions is no longer covered by SFAS No. 5.

FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition (Step I) occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (Step II) is only addressed if the position is deemed to be more likely than not to be sustained. Under Step II, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. FIN 48’s use of the term “more likely than not” is consistent with how that term is used in SFAS No. 109 (i.e. likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%).

The tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition is to be recognized in the first subsequent interim period that they meet the “more likely than not” standard. If it is subsequently determined that a previously recognized tax position no longer meets the “more likely than not” standard, it is required that the tax position is derecognized. FIN 48 specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized no amounts for interest or penalties.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not yet determined the impact this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements after it is adopted on January 1, 2008.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Interest Rate Risks

One of our primary exposures to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt facilities that bear interest based on floating rates. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by managing the mix of long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings, and using hedging activities. We cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations. We do not use derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Swap Information

We have entered into floating-for-fixed interest rate swap arrangements relating to certain of our floating-rate debt facilities. We account for these swaps under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations.

Wynn Las Vegas

As of June 30, 2007, we have one interest rate swap arrangement to hedge the underlying interest rate risk on a total of $200 million of borrowings under the current Wynn Las Vegas, LLC term loan facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.875%. Under this interest rate swap arrangement, we receive payments at a variable rate of LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of 3.793% on the $200 million notional amount which expires on December 31, 2008. Although this interest rate swap is highly effective economically in fixing the interest rate on this borrowing under the new term loan facility at approximately 5.7%, changes in fair value of our interest rate swaps for each reporting period are, and will continue to be, recorded as an increase/(decrease) in swap fair value as the swap does not qualify for hedge accounting.

Wynn Macau

As of June 30, 2007, we have two interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the underlying interest rate risk on borrowings under Wynn Macau S.A.’s senior term loan facility. Under the first swap agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 4.84% on borrowings estimated to be incurred under the senior term loan facility up to a maximum of approximately $198.2 million, in exchange for receipts on the same amounts at a variable interest rate based on the applicable LIBOR at the time of payment. Under the second swap agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 4.77% on borrowings estimated to be incurred under the senior term loan facility up to a maximum of approximately HK$1.1 billion (approximately US$140.1 million), in exchange for receipts on the same amounts at a variable interest rate based on the applicable HIBOR at the time of payment. The term of both swap agreements is from November 28, 2005 through November 28, 2008.

These interest rate swaps are expected to be highly effective in fixing the interest rate on approximately 100% of the US dollar and approximately 35% of the Hong Kong dollar borrowings under the senior bank facility at approximately 6.59% and 6.52%, respectively. However, changes in the fair values of these interest rate swaps for each reporting period recorded are, and will continue to be, recognized as an increase/(decrease) in swap fair value as the swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Summary of Historical Fair Values

The following table presents the historical asset or (liability) fair values of our interest rate swap arrangements (reflected in deposits and other assets or in other long-term liabilities as appropriate) as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (all amounts in thousands):

 

Asset / (Liability) Fair Value at:

   Wynn Las Vegas
Interest Rate
Swap
   Wynn Macau
Interest Rate
Swaps
    All Interest
Rate Swaps

June 30, 2007

   $ 4,201    $ 980     $ 5,181

December 31, 2006

   $ 4,789    $ (1,467 )   $ 3,322

The fair value approximates the amount we would receive if these contracts were settled at the respective valuation dates. Fair value is estimated based upon current, and predictions of future, interest rate levels along a yield curve, the remaining duration of the instruments and other market conditions, and therefore, is subject to significant estimation and a high degree of variability of fluctuation between periods.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of June 30, 2007, approximately 82% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates, including the notional amounts related to interest rate swaps. Based on our borrowings as of June 30, 2007, an assumed 1% change in variable rates would cause our annual interest cost to change by $4.5 million.

Foreign Currency Risks

The currency delineated in Wynn Macau’s concession agreement with the government of Macau is the Macau pataca. The Macau pataca, which is not a freely convertible currency, is linked to the Hong Kong dollar, and in many cases the two are used interchangeably in Macau. The Hong Kong dollar is linked to the U.S. dollar and the exchange rate between these two currencies has remained relatively stable over the past several years. However, the exchange linkages of the Hong Kong dollar and the Macau pataca, and the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar, are subject to potential changes due to, among other things, changes in Chinese governmental policies and international economic and political developments.

If the Hong Kong dollar and the Macau pataca are not linked to the U.S. dollar in the future, severe fluctuations in the exchange rate for these currencies may result. We cannot assure you that the current rate of exchange fixed by the applicable monetary authorities for these currencies will remain at the same level.

Because many of Wynn Macau’s payment and expenditure obligations are in Macau patacas, in the event of unfavorable Macau pataca or Hong Kong dollar rate changes, Wynn Macau’s obligations, as denominated in U.S. dollars, would increase. In addition, because we expect that most of the revenues for any casino that Wynn Macau operates in Macau will be in Hong Kong dollars, we are subject to foreign exchange risk with respect to the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar. Also, because our Macau-related entities incur U.S. dollar-denominated debt, fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar, in relation to the U.S. dollar, could have adverse effects on Wynn Macau’s ability to service its debt, its results of operations and its financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A description of our risk factors can be found in Item IA of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There were no material changes to those risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Dividend Restrictions

We have not regularly declared or paid cash dividends on shares of our common stock.

Wynn Resorts, Limited is a holding company and, as a result, its ability to pay dividends is dependent on its subsidiaries’ ability to provide funds to it. Restrictions imposed by Wynn Resorts, Limited subsidiaries’ debt instruments significantly restrict certain key subsidiaries holding a majority of our assets, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A. from making dividends or distributions to Wynn Resorts, Limited. Specifically, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture governing the First Mortgage Notes from making certain “restricted payments,” as defined in the indenture. These restricted payments include the payment of dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect holders of equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. These restricted payments cannot be made unless certain financial and non-financial criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the terms of the other loan agreements of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Macau, S.A. contain similar restrictions; provided that the Wynn Macau, S.A. loan documents permit distribution of the net proceeds from the sale of the subconcession right in September 2006.

$1.2 billion Equity Repurchase Program

On June 7, 2007, the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts, Limited authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.2 billion which may include purchases of both its common stock and its 6% Convertible Debentures due 2015. The repurchase program may include repurchases from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased 1,310,834 shares of its common stock through open market purchases for net costs of $123.4 million, at an average price of $94.13 per share.

Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

As we have previously disclosed, using proceeds from our initial public common stock offering in October 2002, we placed $50 million into a required completion guarantee deposit account for Wynn Las Vegas and $30 million into a required liquidity reserve account for Wynn Las Vegas under the Wynn Las Vegas Credit Facilities. In April 2007, $20 million of the completion guarantee account and all of the liquidity reserve account together with the interest earned on the funds while held in their respective accounts, were released. Such funds are expected to be used for the construction of Encore as disclosed in Note 14 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Section 2.4 Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice.

(a) The president, chief executive officer, if any, a vice president, the secretary, an assistant secretary or any other individual designated by the Board of Directors shall sign and deliver or cause to be delivered to the stockholders written notice of any stockholders’ meeting not less than ten (10) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the date of such meeting. The notice shall state the place, date and time of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice shall contain or be accompanied by such additional information as may be required by Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), including, without limitation, NRS 78.379, 92A.120 or 92A.410.

(b) In the case of an annual meeting, subject to Section 2.13 below, any proper business may be presented for action, except that (i) if a proposed plan of merger, conversion or exchange is submitted to a vote, the notice of the meeting must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the plan of merger, conversion or exchange and must contain or be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan; and (ii) if a proposed action creating dissenters’ rights is to be submitted to a vote, the notice of the meeting must state that the stockholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and be accompanied by a copy of those sections.

(c) A copy of the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed postage prepaid to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at the address appearing on the records of the Corporation. Upon mailing, service of the notice is complete, and the time of the notice begins to run from the date upon which the notice is deposited in the mail. If the address of any stockholder does not appear upon the records of the Corporation or is incomplete, it will be sufficient to address any notice to such stockholder at the registered office of the Corporation.

(d) The written certificate of the individual signing a notice of meeting, setting forth the substance of the notice or having a copy thereof attached, the date the notice was mailed or personally delivered to the stockholders and the addresses to which the notice was mailed, shall be prima facie evidence of the manner and fact of giving such notice.

(e) Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting by a signed writing, either before or after the meeting. Such waiver of notice shall be deemed the equivalent of the giving of such notice.

Section 2.5 Determination of Stockholders of Record.

(a) For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, if applicable.

(b) If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders: (i) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is

 

- 2 -


waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (ii) for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting and must fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 60 days later than the date set for the original meeting.

Section 2.6 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.

(a) Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Corporation’s capital stock, represented in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. If, on any issue, voting by classes or series is required by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at least a majority of the voting power, represented in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), within each such class or series is necessary to constitute a quorum of each such class or series.

(b) If a quorum is not represented, a majority of the voting power represented or the person presiding at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted as originally called. When a stockholders’ meeting is adjourned to another time or place hereunder, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record as of the new record date. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the departure of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum of the voting power.

Section 2.7 Voting.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the NRS, in the Articles of Incorporation, or in the resolution providing for the issuance of preferred stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder of record, or such stockholder’s duly authorized proxy, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such stockholder’s name at the close of business on the record date.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual at the close of business on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual’s duly authorized proxy. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, or a guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of such

 

- 3 -


representative capacity. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand of record in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of a court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand of record in the name of a minor, votes may be cast by the duly appointed guardian of the estate of such minor only if such guardian has provided the Corporation with written proof of such appointment.

(c) With respect to shares standing of record in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (i) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the Board of Directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including, without limitation, the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the chairman of the board, if any, president, chief executive officer, if any, or any vice president of such corporation; and (ii) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the Corporation of satisfactory evidence of his or her authority to do so.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and except for the Corporation's shares held in a fiduciary capacity, the Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote.

(e) Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote does vote any of such stockholder’s shares affirmatively and fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

(f) With respect to shares standing of record in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner:

(i) If only one person votes, the vote of such person binds all.

(ii) If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all.

(iii) If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

(g) If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the NRS, or other applicable law provide for a different proportion, action by the stockholders entitled to vote on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved by

 

- 4 -


and is the act of the stockholders if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, unless voting by classes or series is required for any action of the stockholders by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the number of votes cast in favor of the action by the voting power of each such class or series must exceed the number of votes cast in opposition to the action by the voting power of each such class or series.

(h) If a quorum is present, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Section 2.8 Proxies. At any meeting of stockholders, any holder of shares entitled to vote may designate, in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, another person or persons to act as a proxy or proxies. Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Section 2.9 No Action Without A Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called and noticed in the manner required by these Bylaws. Prior to the completion of the initial public offering of the Corporation, the stockholders may take action by written consent. After the completion of the initial public offering of the Corporation, the stockholders may not in any circumstance take action by written consent.

Section 2.10 Organization.

(a) Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the board, or, in the absence of the chairman, by the vice-chairman of the board, or in the absence of the vice-chairman, the president, or, in the absence of the president, by the chief executive officer, if any, or, in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of such designation by the Board of Directors, by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast. The secretary, or in the absence of the secretary an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitation on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

(b) The chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors of elections. The inspector or inspectors may (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (ii) determine the number of shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies or ballots; (iii) count all votes and ballots; (iv) determine any challenges

 

- 5 -


made to any determination made by the inspector(s); and (v) certify the determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the count of all votes and ballots.

Section 2.11 Absentees’ Consent to Meetings. Transactions of any meeting of the stockholders are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is represented, either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not represented in person or by proxy (and those who, although present, either object at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened or expressly object at the meeting to the consideration of matters not included in the notice which are legally or by the terms of these Bylaws required to be included therein), signs a written waiver of notice and/or consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records and made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called, noticed or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not properly included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the time any such matters are presented at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or consent, except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws.

Section 2.12 Director Nominations. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of preferred stock to nominate and elect directors, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made by the Board of Directors, by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors, or by any stockholder of record entitled to vote in the election of directors who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 2.13 below.

Section 2.13 Advance Notice of Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations by Stockholders. At any annual or special meeting of stockholders, proposals by stockholders and persons nominated for election as directors by stockholders shall be considered only if advance notice thereof has been timely given by the stockholder as provided herein and such proposals or nominations are otherwise proper for consideration under applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation and these Bylaws. Notice of any proposal to be presented by any stockholder or of the name of any person to be nominated by any stockholder for election as a director of the Corporation at any meeting of stockholders shall be delivered to the secretary of the Corporation at its principal office not less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the day of the meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the meeting is first publicly announced or disclosed (in a public filing or otherwise) less than seventy (70) days prior to the day of the meeting, such advance notice shall be given not more than ten (10) days after such date is first so announced or disclosed. Public notice shall be deemed to have been given more than seventy (70) days in advance of the annual meeting if the Corporation shall have previously disclosed, in these Bylaws or otherwise, that the annual meeting in each year is to be held on a determinable date, unless and until the Board of Directors determines to hold the meeting on a different date. For purposes of this Section, public disclosure of the date of a forthcoming meeting

Any stockholder who gives notice of any such proposal shall deliver therewith the text of the proposal to be presented and a brief written statement of the reasons why such stockholder favors the proposal and setting forth such stockholder’s name and address, the number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in the proposal (other than as a stockholder). Any stockholder desiring to nominate any person for election as a director of the Corporation shall deliver with such notice a statement, in writing, setting forth (a) the name of the person to be nominated; (b) the number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such person; (c) the information regarding such person required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (or the corresponding provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the SEC applicable to the Corporation), and any other information regarding such person which would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC, had such nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated by the Board of Directors; (d) such person’s signed consent to serve as a director of the Corporation if elected and to file an application for licensing or finding of suitability if the Nevada Gaming Commission or other gaming authority shall so require or the Board of Directors deems it necessary or advisable; (e) such stockholder’s name and address and the number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by such stockholder; (f) a representation that such stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; and (g) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder. As used herein, shares “beneficially owned” shall mean all shares as to which such person, together with such person’s affiliates and associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act), may be deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Act, as well as all shares as to which such person, together with such person's affiliates and associates, has a right to become the beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement or understanding, whereupon the exercise of warrants, options or rights to convert or exchange (whether such rights are exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the occurrence of conditions). The person presiding at the meeting shall determine whether such notice has been duly given and shall direct that proposals and nominees not be considered if such notice has not been duly given. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at a meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein.

CAPITAL STOCK

Section 5.1 Issuance. Shares of the Corporation’s authorized stock shall, subject to any provisions or limitations of the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or any contracts or agreements to which the Corporation may be a party, be issued in such manner, at such times, upon such conditions and for such consideration as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

Section 5.2 Stock Certificates and Uncertified Shares. Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation by the president, the chief executive officer, if any, or a vice president, and by the secretary or an assistant secretary, of the Corporation (or any other two officers or agents so authorized by the Board of Directors), certifying the number of shares of stock owned by

 

- 14 -


him, her or it in the Corporation; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of uncertificated shares of some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock. Any such issuance of uncertificated shares shall have no effect on existing certificates for shares until such certificates are surrendered to the Corporation, or on the respective rights and obligations of the stockholders. Whenever such certificate is countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or a transfer clerk and by a registrar (other than the Corporation), then a facsimile of the signatures of any corporate officers or agents, the transfer agent, transfer clerk or the registrar of the Corporation may be printed or lithographed upon the certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. In the event that any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signatures have been used on any certificate or certificates for stock cease to be an officer or officers because of death, resignation or other reason, before the certificate or certificates for stock have been delivered by the Corporation, the certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed the certificate or certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon, had not ceased to be an officer or officers of the Corporation.

Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written statement certifying the number of shares owned by him, her or it in the Corporation and, at least annually thereafter, the Corporation shall provide to such stockholders of record holding uncertificated shares, a written statement confirming the information contained in such written statement previously sent. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the stockholders shall be identical whether or not their shares of stock are represented by certificates.

Each certificate representing shares shall state the following upon the face thereof: the name of the state of the Corporation’s organization; the name of the person to whom issued; the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate represents; the par value of each share, if any, represented by such certificate or a statement that the shares are without par value. Certificates of stock shall be in such form consistent with law as shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors. No certificate shall be issued until the shares represented thereby are fully paid. In addition to the above, all certificates evidencing shares of the Corporation’s stock or other securities issued by the Corporation shall contain such legend or legends as may from time to time be required by the NRS and/or the regulations of the Nevada Gaming Commission then in effect, or such other federal, state or local laws or regulations then in effect.

Section 5.3 Surrendered; Lost or Destroyed Certificates. All certificates surrendered to the Corporation, except those representing shares of treasury stock, shall be canceled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been canceled, except that in case of a lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new one may be issued therefor. However, any stockholder applying for the issuance of a stock certificate in lieu of one alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated shall, prior to the issuance of a replacement, provide the Corporation with his, her or its affidavit of the facts surrounding the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and, if required by the Board of Directors, an indemnity bond in an amount not less than twice the current market value of the stock, and upon such terms as the treasurer or the

 

- 15 -


Board of Directors shall require which shall indemnify the Corporation against any loss, damage, cost or inconvenience arising as a consequence of the issuance of a replacement certificate.

Section 5.4 Replacement Certificate. When the Articles of Incorporation are amended in any way affecting the statements contained in the certificates for outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation or it becomes desirable for any reason, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, including, without limitation, the merger of the Corporation with another Corporation or the conversion or reorganization of the Corporation, to cancel any outstanding certificate for shares and issue a new certificate therefor conforming to the rights of the holder, the Board of Directors may order any holders of outstanding certificates for shares to surrender and exchange the same for new certificates within a reasonable time to be fixed by the Board of Directors. The order may provide that a holder of any certificate(s) ordered to be surrendered shall not be entitled to vote, receive distributions or exercise any other rights of stockholders of record until the holder has complied with the order, but the order operates to suspend such rights only after notice and until compliance.

Section 5.5 Transfer of Shares. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation except on surrender and cancellation of the certificates therefor accompanied by an assignment or transfer by the registered owner made either in person or under assignment. Whenever any transfer shall be expressly made for collateral security and not absolutely, the collateral nature of the transfer shall be reflected in the entry of transfer in the records of the Corporation.

Section 5.6 Transfer Agent; Registrars. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more transfer agents, transfer clerks and registrars of transfer and may require all certificates for shares of stock to bear the signature of such transfer agents, transfer clerks and/or registrars of transfer.

Section 5.7 Miscellaneous. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make such rules and regulations not inconsistent herewith as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates for shares of the Corporation’s stock.

Section 5.8 Inapplicability of Controlling Interest Statutes. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Bylaws to the contrary, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 78.378 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), the provisions of NRS Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive (or any successor statutes thereto), relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the corporation do not apply to any and all acquisitions of shares of the corporation’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, effected by Stephen A.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(i) For purposes of this Article, (A) “Indemnitee” shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or member, manager or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise; and (B) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

(ii) Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided that such Indemnitee either is not liable

 

- 17 -


pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal proceeding he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bylaws, no director or officer may be indemnified for expenses incurred in defending any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that such director or officer incurred in his or her capacity as a stockholder, including, but not limited to, in connection with such person being deemed an Unsuitable Person (as defined in Article VII of the Articles of Incorporation).

(iii) Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or member, manager or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company or a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager or fiduciary of, or to serve in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

(iv) The expenses of Indemnitees must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in by him or her in connection with the defense.

 

- 18 -


(b) Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.

(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise.

(d) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any Indemnitee for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee, member, managing member or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

(e) Other Financial Arrangements. The other financial arrangements which may be made by the Corporation may include the following (i) the creation of a trust fund; (ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (iii) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation; (iv) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

(f) Other Matters Relating to Insurance or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board of Directors, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud (i) the decision of the Board of Directors as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

Section 8.2 Amendment. The provisions of this Article VIII relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person's consent or as specifically provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Article X below), no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all

 

- 19 -


of this Article VIII so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the directors of the Corporation then serving, or (b) by the stockholders as set forth in Article X hereof; provided that no such amendment shall have a retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.

ARTICLE IX

CHANGES IN NEVADA LAW

References in these Bylaws to Nevada law or the NRS or to any provision thereof shall be to such law as it existed on the date these Bylaws were adopted or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Corporation may provide in Article VIII hereof, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the Articles of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the Corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors or limit the liability of officers or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE X

AMENDMENT OR REPEAL

(a) Board of Directors. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter, amend and rescind these Bylaws.

Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.02. Term Loans borrowed and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) Each Term Borrowing, each New Loan Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s delivery of an irrevocable Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Term Borrowing or New Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of Term Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and each Borrowing of any Series of New Loans shall be in an amount agreed upon with the New Loan Lender in respect of such New Loans.

If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such Borrowing Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Term Borrowing or New Loan Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice.

Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing and if by telephone with written notice to follow promptly thereafter) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the provisos to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in the applicable Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice delivered (or deemed delivered) to the Administrative Agent available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on such day, whereupon each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan under its Commitments to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(d)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have requested that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

27


(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(d) by the time specified in Section 2.03(d)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein

(e) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

(iv) If any Subsidiary (other than any Restricted Subsidiary) of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries makes any dividend or distribution (in each case, whether in cash or Cash Equivalents) with respect to any Equity Interests in such Subsidiary, or any other payment on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance, acquisition, cancellation or termination of any such Equity Interest, or on account of any return of capital to Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or makes an advance or loan to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, then the Borrower shall cause Loans to be prepaid in an amount equal to 50% of such dividends, distributions and loans on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt thereof; provided that any proceeds from any Excluded Distributions shall not be required to be so repaid.

(v) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(vi) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.04 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (except in the case of prepayments to be made pursuant clause (iii) above, which shall be made promptly after, or concurrently with, the delivery of such notice). Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment, which shall be pro rata across all Facilities.

(c) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.04 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.04, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless agreed to by the Administrative Agent), if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans

 

30


is required to be made under Section 2.04(b), other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that, prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement is entered into or (ii) any voluntary prepayment of all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans is made with the proceeds of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred through a debt or equity securities offering) (which voluntary prepayment shall be deemed to have been made even if a portion of the Term Loans are replaced, converted re-evidenced with, into or by such Indebtedness so long as all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans are so prepaid), in connection with which, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii), the Applicable Rate with the respect to the Term Loans is decreased (or the interest rate applicable to such Indebtedness is lower than the interest rate applicable to the Term Loans), the Borrower shall pay to each holder of a Term Loan, concurrently with such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement or such voluntary prepayment, a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such fee shall be payable if the incurrence of such Indebtedness and prepayment of the Loans are part of another material transaction or series of related material transactions the primary purpose of which is not the refinancing of the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, no such fee shall be payable in connection with (i) any prepayment from the proceeds of the issuance of a debt or equity securities offering or (ii) any prepayment from the proceeds of debt with an interest rate that is equal to or higher than that applicable to the Term Loans.

SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Term Loan Commitments or New Loan Commitments (but the amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not (except as set forth in clause (iii) below) be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower); provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the sum of the unused Commitments under the Term Loan Facility and New Loan Facility, such Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

(b) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Term Loan Commitments or New Loan Commitments under this Section 2.05. Upon any reduction of unused Term Loan Commitments, the Commitment of each Term Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of Commitments of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). Upon any reduction of any unused New Loan Commitments, the Commitment each New Loan Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which

 

31


such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of Commitments of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of any Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Loans. (a) Generally. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all of its Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the date that is one (1) Business Day after such Loan is made.

SECTION 2.07. Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(b), (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 2.08. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee – Term Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to 0.500% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Term Loan Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Amount of Term Loans; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided, further, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof until the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Commitment Fee – New Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each New Loan Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to 0.500% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate New Loan Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Amount of New Loans; provided that any commitment fee accrued

 

32


with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; provided, further, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof until the New Loan Commitment Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the New Loan Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents and the Lead Arrangers the fees set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent or Lead Arranger, as the case may be).

SECTION 2.09. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Borrowing shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by each Lender making Loans thereunder and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowing and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term Note, New Loan Note or Swing Line Note, as the case may be, payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.10(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

33


(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.10(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.10(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.11. Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand

 

34


therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.11(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any

 

35


settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.12 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

SECTION 2.13. Incremental Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time following Successful Syndication, but prior to June 30, 2008, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of one or more New Loan Commitments, in an amount not in excess of (i) with respect to New Loan Commitments established on or prior to the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, $250,000,000 in the aggregate and (ii) with respect to New Loan Commitments established after the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, $500,000,000 in the aggregate, and in each case not less than $20,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that at no time shall the Aggregate Commitments and Loans outstanding hereunder exceed $1,250,000,000. For purposes of clarification, it is understood that the aggregate amount of New Loan Commitments may exceed $250,000,000 only to the extent that the Borrower did not borrow the full amount available under the Term Loan Commitments prior to the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. Each such notice shall set forth (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 15 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Loan Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment). The establishment of the New Loan Commitments shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) no Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments; (2) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (3) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable New Loan Lender, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 10.15; and (4) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Such New Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any Borrowing with respect to New Loans until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Term Loans have been fully funded and (b) the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, has occurred.

 

36


(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each New Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto and shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed its Pro Rata Share of participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.13(a) and in respect thereof, the Series of New Loan Commitments.

(d) The terms and provisions of the New Loans and New Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement, identical to the terms and provisions of the Term Loans. In any event, (i) the maturity date of the New Loans shall be the Maturity Date and shall not be subject to amortization and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the New Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Loan Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the interest rate payable in respect of the New Loans (whether in the form of interest, fees, original issue discount or a combination of any thereof) is higher by more than 0.25% than the interest rate payable in respect of the Term Loans immediately prior to the incurrence of any such New Loans, the interest rates applicable to the existing Term Loans shall increased to provide the existing Term Lenders the same interest rate provided to the New Loan Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13.

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

SECTION 3.01. Taxes. (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a

 

37


receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender arising out of such failure.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent makes a demand therefor.

(d) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent or a change in the lending office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in lending office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in Law).

(e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Lender, a Lead Arranger or an Agent is subject to withholding tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which the Borrower is formed or organized at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, withholding tax imposed by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01 in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.

(f) If any Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have previously been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant

to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender, Lead Arranger or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

(g) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.01(g) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).

SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, the Administrative

 

39


Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, by the United States or any political subdivision thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or maintains a Lending Office and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

 

40


(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor, provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).

SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Loan made by it at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurodollar Loans, or to

 

41


convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurodollar Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be waived and, in the case of the assignment by a Non-Consenting Lender who does not agree to any amendment, amendment and restatement or modification referred to in Section 2.04(d) prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the prepayment fee required by 2.04(d) to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; provided, further, that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents; and provided further, that the Administrative Agent is authorized to execute any such assignment on behalf of any Lender described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above.

 

42


(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in Swing Line Loans and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in Swing Line Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

(c) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Term Lenders, New Loan Lenders or Swing Line Lenders, as the case may be and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive termination of this Agreement, termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, 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 any 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.

SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact including for the purpose of any Borrowings, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

SECTION 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital,

 

64


statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under any Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof.

SECTION 9.04. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or any Subsidiary), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 8; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether

 

65


Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent and each Lead Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, neither such Agent nor the Lead Arrangers shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. DBTCA and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates as though DBTCA were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, DBTCA or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its

 

66


Loans, DBTCA shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include DBTCA in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

67


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 9.11. Other Agents; Lead Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “book running manager”, “documentation agent” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

SECTION 9.12. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any Subsidiary by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may agree to extend its Commitment without the consent of the Required Lenders) (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.06 or 2.07 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest;

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on any Loan, or (subject to clause (ii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees (including fees set forth in Section 2.04(d) or 2.08) or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or Section 2.05(b), 2.06(a), 2.12 or 8.03 without the written consent of all Lenders affected by such change;

and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; (iv) the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of any Class of Commitments shall be required with respect to any amendment that (x) waives any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 solely with respect to the making of Loans or other extensions of credit by such Class (it being understood that a general waiver of a Default or an Event of Default by the Required Lenders, as opposed to a waiver only for the purposes of making Loans or other extensions of credit, shall not constitute a waiver of a condition precedent governed under this clause) or (y) by its terms adversely affects the rights of such Class in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Classes; (v) for purposes of the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default, the Required Lenders shall be determined by reference to Total Outstandings only (without taking into account unused Commitments); and (vi) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may make the amendments contemplated in Section 2.13 without the consent of any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

 

69


Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, the parties to the Fee Letter may, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications thereto for the purpose of adding any provisions thereto or changing in any manner the rights thereunder of the parties thereto or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, (1) any of the requirements of the Fee Letter or (2) any Default or Event of Default to the extent (and only to the extent) relating to the Fee Letter, it being understood that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default (or portion thereof) relating to any of the other Loan Documents may be accomplished only as set forth in this Section 10.01.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Lenders to enter into amendments to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the Borrower or the Subsidiaries for the purpose of curing any typographical error, incorrect cross-reference, defect in form, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party (without any consent or approval by the Lenders).

SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. (a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i) if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(c)), when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.

 

70


(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the Borrower, each Subsidiary party thereto, the Agents and the Lenders.

(c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Borrowing Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Lead Arrangers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Latham & Watkins LLP, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent or Lead Arranger. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If the Borrower or any Subsidiary fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Person by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

 

71


claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other party to a Loan Document, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other party to a Loan Document, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any Subsidiary, or any other party to a Loan Document, or any of their directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any Law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any Indemnitee. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that each Indemnitee not party hereto shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 10.05 and shall be entitled to enforce the same as if it were a party hereto.

SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender, or any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such

 

72


payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent or Lead Arranger, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than to Disqualified Institutions) (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a payment or bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an Agent, a Lender or an Affiliate of an Agent or Lender;

(C) the Swing Line Lender; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

 

73


(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

(D) none of the Borrower, any direct or indirect holder of an Equity Interest in the Borrower, or any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Person that has been denied an approval or a license, or otherwise found unsuitable by any Gaming Authorities under the Gaming Laws applicable to the Lenders shall be an Eligible Assignee.

This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Swing Line Note, a New Loan Note or a Term Note, as applicable, to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender

 

74


sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 10.07 but shall not be entitled to recover greater amounts under such Sections than the selling Lender would be entitled to recover unless the sale of such participation was made with Borrower’s prior consent. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.15 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. No such SPC shall be entitled to exercise rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided, such SPC agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

 

75


(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as the Swing Line Lender; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the Swing Line Lender shall have identified a successor Swing Line Lender reasonably acceptable to the Borrower willing to accept its appointment as successor Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation of the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the Swing Line Lender, except as expressly provided above. If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(d).

SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts each such Person applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder or (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Loans made hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary or to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or its

 

76


business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof.

SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents, the Lead Arranger or the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender, and each of their Affiliates, is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Agent, Lead Arranger, Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Agent, Lead Arranger, Lender or Affiliate hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent, Lead Arranger, Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender may have.

SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Charges”) shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the interest and other Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.10 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Agreement, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 10.10, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.10, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.

SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, Lead Arranger or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.15. Tax Forms. (a) (i) Each Lender and Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” as

 

78


defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (Y) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (Z) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Foreign Lender), shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W 8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Foreign Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender.

(iii) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity payment under Section 3.01 to (A) any Foreign Lender if such Foreign Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.15(a), or (B) any U.S. Lender if such U.S. Lender shall have failed to satisfy the provisions of Section 10.15(b); provided that (1) if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 10.15(a) or Section 10.15(b), as applicable, on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 10.15(a) or Section 10.15(b) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate and (2) nothing in this Section 10.15(a) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that the requirements of 10.15(a)(ii) have not been satisfied if the Borrower is entitled, under applicable Law, to rely on any applicable forms and statements

 

79


required to be provided under this Section 10.15 by the Foreign Lender that does not act or has ceased to act for its own account under any of the Loan Documents, including in the case of a typical participation.

(iv) The Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor form. If such U.S. Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

SECTION 10.16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

THE BORROWER AND EACH LEAD ARRANGER, AGENT AND LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.16, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENTS, THE LEAD ARRANGERS, OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES OR ASSETS IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

SECTION 10.19. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any property of any such Person, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 10.19 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents.

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lead Arrangers, the Agents, the Lenders, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

SECTION 10.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

SECTION 10.22. Gaming Authorities. Each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender agree to cooperate with the applicable Gaming Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, including,

 

81


without limitation, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Agent, Lead Arranger Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Authorities relating to the Agents, the Lead Arrangers, any of the Lenders, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower expressly authorizes, and will cause each Subsidiary to authorize, each Agent, Lead Arranger and Lender to cooperate with the Gaming Authorities as described above.

SECTION 10.23. Certain Matters Affecting Lenders. (a) If (i) any Gaming Authority shall determine that any Lender does not meet suitability standards prescribed under applicable Gaming Laws or (ii) any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries shall determine that any Lender does not meet its suitability standards (in any such case, a “Former Lender”), the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to designate bank(s) or other financial institution(s) (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”) that agree to become a Substitute Lender and to assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence that such Substitute Lender (if not a Lender or Lenders or Affiliated Fund of a Lender) is an Eligible Assignee. The Substitute Lender shall assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender under this Agreement. The Borrower shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of any Lender required by any Gaming Authority, or any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Borrower, to file an application for a finding of suitability. In the event a Former Lender is replaced by a Substitute Lender in accordance with this Section 10.23(a), the Borrower and the Substitute Lender shall pay to the Former Lender (or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07) all amounts that would have been required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.07 had such Former Lender been replaced in accordance with such provisions.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 10.23, if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if the Administrative Agent fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.23 within any time period specified by the appropriate gaming authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the outstanding amount of all Loans of such Former Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of the applicable Withdrawal Period and any other amounts that would have been required to be paid to such Former Lender pursuant to Section 3.07 had such Former Lender been replaced in accordance with such provisions. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Lender in accordance with this Section 10.23, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Lender.

The Company shall pay interest under each Facility Agreement at the rate specified in that Facility Agreement.

  9.2.1 Subject to Clause 9.2.2 below, interest on each Advance shall be due on each Interest Payment Date relating to that Advance.

9.3 Interest Periods

The duration of each Interest Period shall be determined as follows:

 

  9.3.1 Each Interest Period for a Term Loan Facility Advance shall start on the Advance Date for such Advance or (if already made) on the Effective Date and, thereafter, on the last day of its preceding Interest Period. A Revolving Credit Facility Advance has one Interest Period only which shall start on the Advance Date for such Advance.

  (a) a Term Loan Facility shall be: (A) prior to the First Repayment Date, one, two, three or six months and (B) on and from the First Repayment Date, one, two or three months; and

 

  (b) a Revolving Credit Facility shall be one, two, three or six months,

in each case as the Company may, by not less than five (or, in the case of any Term Loan Facility Advance made on or prior to the Effective Date, two) Business Days’ prior notice to the Facility Agent for such Facility, select, provided that Term Loan Facility Advances with the same Advance Date shall have the same Interest Period and, save in the case of each Initial Advance made thereunder, the first Interest Period for each Advance made under a Term Loan Facility shall end on the same day as the end of the current

 

- 97 -


Interest Period of any other outstanding Advance made under the same Facility.

 

  9.3.3 If the Company fails to give such notice of its selection in relation to an Interest Period, the duration of such Interest Period shall, subject to this Clause 9, be 3 months.

 

  9.3.4 Any Interest Period which would otherwise extend beyond:

 

  (a) a Repayment Date (in the case of any Interest Period relating to an Advance under the Hotel Facility or the Project Facility); or

 

  (b) the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (in the case of any Interest Period relating to an Advance under a Revolving Credit Facility),

shall be of such duration that it shall end on such date.

 

  9.3.5 If two or more Interest Periods relating to Advances in the same currency under the same Term Loan Facility end at the same time, then, on the last day of such Interest Periods, such Advances shall be consolidated into and treated as a single Advance.

 

  9.3.6 The Company shall use reasonable efforts to at all times select the duration of Interest Periods so as to ensure that, in respect of such of the Advances outstanding under the Facilities as is from time to time equal to the Notional Amounts specified in the Hedging Agreements, the Interest Payment Dates for such Advances coincide with (and are no more frequent than) the selected dates for payment of amounts to the Company under the Hedging Agreements.

 

  9.3.7 Any Interest Period which would end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

 

  9.3.8 Interest on an Advance shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period relating to such Advance up to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

 

9.4 Default interest

 

  9.4.1

If the Company fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Senior Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on such Unpaid Sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to sub-clause 9.4.2 below, is 2% higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted an Advance under the relevant Facility Agreement in the currency of the overdue amount (or, where there is no such relevant Facility Agreement, an Advance in the relevant currency under the Hotel

 

- 98 -


 

Facility Agreement) for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the relevant Facility Agent (each acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this sub-clause 9.4.1 shall be immediately payable by the Company on demand in writing by the Intercreditor Agent or the relevant Facility Agent.

 

  9.4.2 If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of an Advance which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Advance:

 

  (a) the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Advance; and

 

  (b) the rate of interest applying to the Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be 2% per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

 

  9.4.3 Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum shall be compounded with the Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that Unpaid Sum but shall remain immediately due and payable.

Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR or HIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks under any Facility Agreement but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation on the Quotation Day under such Facility Agreement, the applicable LIBOR or HIBOR for the purpose of such Facility Agreement shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks under such Facility Agreement. Where LIBOR or HIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks under any Facility Agreement and none or only one Reference Bank supplies a quotation, then LIBOR or, as the case may be, HIBOR shall be treated as incapable of being determined under such Facility Agreement.

 

10.2 Market disruption

 

  10.2.1 If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance under a Facility for any Interest Period, the relevant Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent of the fact and that this Clause 10.2 is in operation and the Intercreditor Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the other Lenders.

 

  10.2.2 For the purpose of this Clause 10.2, “Market Disruption Event” means:

 

  (a) in the case of a US dollar Advance:

 

- 99 -


  (i) it is not possible, in respect of the Facility under which such Advance is made, to determine LIBOR in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Facility Agreement and Clause 10.1 (Absence of quotations); or

 

  (ii) before the close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Intercreditor Agent has been notified by a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in such Advance exceed 50 per cent of the Advance) that the cost to it/them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR;

 

  (b) in the case of a HK dollar Advance:

 

  (i) it is not possible, in respect of the Facility under which such Advance is made, to determine HIBOR in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Facility Agreement and Clause 10.1 (Absence of quotations); or

 

  (ii) before the close of business in Hong Kong on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Intercreditor Agent has been notified by a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in such Advance exceed 50 per cent of the Advance) that the cost to it/them of obtaining matching deposits in the Hong Kong interbank market would be in excess of HIBOR.

 

  10.2.3 Within five Business Days of the Intercreditor Agent notifying the Company in accordance with sub-clause 10.2.1 above, the Company and the Intercreditor Agent shall enter into good faith negotiations for a period of up to thirty days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest applicable to the relevant Advances. Any alternative basis agreed shall be binding on all parties hereto until (subject to the terms of such agreement) the Market Disruption Event referred to in sub-clause 10.2.1 above is at an end and the Intercreditor Agent has notified the Facility Agents and the Company accordingly.

 

  10.2.4

If no alternative basis is agreed pursuant to sub-clause 10.2.3 above by the earlier of (i) the thirty-day period provided in sub-clause 10.2.3 above and (ii) the Advance Date (where the notification under sub-clause 10.2.1 applies to any Advance which has not been made) or the last day of the Interest Period (where the notification under sub-clause 10.2.1 applies to an Advance which is outstanding), then each Lender participating in the relevant Advance shall, acting reasonably, certify an alternative basis for maintaining its participation in the relevant Advance which may include an alternative method of fixing the interest rate, alternative Interest Periods or alternative currencies but such alternative basis must reflect its cost of funding its participation in the relevant Advance from whatever sources it may in good faith select plus the applicable interest margin applicable to that Lender’s participation in the relevant

 

- 100 -


 

Advance. Each alternative basis so certified shall be binding on the Company and the certifying Lender and treated as part of this Agreement and the relevant Facility Agreement.

 

10.3 Break Costs

 

  10.3.1 The Company shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Senior Secured Creditor, pay to that Senior Secured Creditor its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of an Advance or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Company on a day other than an Interest Payment Date for that Advance or Unpaid Sum.

 

  10.3.2 Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Intercreditor Agent or the Company, provide a certificate confirming the amount and providing reasonable supporting evidence of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

  11.2.3 If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company, the amount of the payment due from the Company shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the amount which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

 

  11.2.4 If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

 

- 101 -


  11.2.5 After making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Company shall, if so requested in writing by the Intercreditor Agent, deliver to the Intercreditor Agent the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Senior Secured Creditor that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Company shall not be obliged to provide any such evidence from a Governmental Authority to the extent that it is not provided by such Governmental Authority).

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Senior Secured Creditor; or

 

  (b) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 11.2 (Tax gross-up).

 

  11.3.3 A Senior Secured Creditor making, or intending to make a claim under sub-clause 11.3.1 above shall promptly notify the Intercreditor Agent of the event which shall give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Intercreditor Agent shall promptly notify the Company.

 

  11.3.4 A Senior Secured Creditor shall, on receiving a payment from the Company under this Clause 11.3, notify the Intercreditor Agent.

 

  11.3.5

Each Senior Secured Creditor shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Intercreditor Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of the

  11.4.1 a Tax Credit is attributable to that Tax Payment; and

 

  11.4.2 that Senior Secured Creditor has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

that Senior Secured Creditor shall pay an amount to the Company which that Senior Secured Creditor determines shall leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been made by the Company.

 

11.5 Stamp taxes

The Company shall pay and, within fifteen days of demand, indemnify each Senior Secured Creditor against any cost, loss or liability that a Senior Secured Creditor incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Senior Finance Document.

  (b) an additional or increased cost; or

 

- 103 -


  (c) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Senior Finance Document,

which is incurred or suffered by a Lender or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Lender’s having entered into or maintaining its commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Senior Finance Document.

 

12.2 Increased cost claims

  12.3.2 compensated for by Clause 11.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 11.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in sub-clause 11.3.2 of Clause 11.3 (Tax indemnity) applied); or

 

  12.3.3 attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Senior Secured Creditor or their Affiliates of any law or regulation.

Each Senior Secured Creditor shall rateably in accordance with the proportion that the US dollar equivalent of the sum of its Available Commitments and its participations in any outstanding Advances bear to the US dollar equivalent of the aggregate of the Available Commitments and such participations of all the Senior Secured Creditors (or, if all such amounts have been reduced to zero, such proportion determined immediately prior to such reduction) for the time being, indemnify the Intercreditor Agent, within fifteen days of demand (accompanied by reasonable written certification), against cost, loss or liability incurred by the Intercreditor Agent (other than by reason of the fraud,

negligence or wilful misconduct of the Intercreditor Agent) in acting as Intercreditor Agent in accordance with the terms of the Senior Finance Documents (unless the Intercreditor Agent has been reimbursed by, or indemnified to its satisfaction by, an Obligor pursuant to a Senior Finance Document or otherwise in writing). For the purposes of this Clause 23.15.1, each Hedging Counterparty shall, in respect of each Hedging Agreement entered into by it, be deemed to have made an Advance to the Company in an amount equal to the Realised Hedge Loss (if any) under the Hedging Agreement to which such Hedging Counterparty is party.

  25.1.2 the Intercreditor Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received and distributed in accordance with this Agreement, without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on that Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

 

  25.1.3 the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor shall, within 10 Business Days of demand by the Intercreditor Agent, pay to the Intercreditor Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Intercreditor Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with this Agreement.

 

25.2 Redistribution of payments

The Intercreditor Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Company and distribute it between the Senior Secured Creditors (other than the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor) in accordance with this Agreement.

 

25.3 Recovering Senior Secured Creditor’s Rights

 

  25.3.1 On a distribution by the Intercreditor Agent under 25.2 (Redistribution of payments), the Recovering Senior Secured Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Secured Creditors which have shared in the redistribution.

25.4 Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Senior Secured Creditor becomes repayable and is repaid by such Recovering Senior Secured Creditor, then:

 

  25.4.1 each Senior Secured Creditor which has received a share of such Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 25.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Intercreditor Agent, pay to the Intercreditor Agent for account of that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Senior Secured Creditor is required to pay); and

 

- 124 -

Without prejudice to the provisions of Schedule 6 (Accounts) and subject to the terms of Clause 25 (Sharing Among the Senior Secured Creditors) and Clause 33 (Intercreditor Arrangements), a Senior Secured Creditor may, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it is continuing, set off any matured obligations owed by the Company under the Senior Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Senior Secured Creditor) against any obligation (which, for the purpose of this provision only, shall be treated as due and payable, save for unmatured obligations under the Hedging Agreements) owed by that Senior Secured Creditor to the Company, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Senior Secured Creditor may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

The sole recourse of the Senior Secured Creditors for satisfaction of any of the obligations of any of the Obligors hereunder and under the other Senior Finance Documents shall be against the Obligors, and not against any assets or property of any Operative save to the extent such Operative is party to a Senior Finance Document and is expressed to be liable for such obligation thereunder.

31. PARTIAL INVALIDITY

If, at any time, any provision of the Senior Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired.

 

32. REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Senior Secured Creditor, any right or remedy under the Senior Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the exercise of any right, power, discretion or determination which has been delegated to the Intercreditor Agent under the Senior Finance Documents (save for any such right, power, discretion or determination to be exercised by any such party for its own account) shall require the consent or agreement of the Required Lenders provided that the Intercreditor Agent may exercise any such right, power, discretion or determination (including giving instructions to the Security Agent) without requiring any Decision which the Intercreditor Agent, acting reasonably, considers is a minor, administrative or technical matter which does not adversely affect the rights of the Senior Secured Creditors under the Senior Finance Documents.
