Note 1 - Organization

Organization

Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Wynn Resorts" or the "Company") is a designer, developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. In the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau"), the Company owns approximately 72% of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), which includes the operations of the Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau resorts. The Company refers to Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau as its Macau Operations. In Las Vegas, Nevada, the Company operates and, with the exception of certain retail space, owns 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, the Company is a 50.1% owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). The Company refers to Wynn Las Vegas and the Retail Joint Venture as its Las Vegas Operations. On June 23, 2019, the Company opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts.

On September 20, 2019, and concurrently with the Refinancing Transactions (as defined and discussed in Note 6, "Long-Term Debt"), Wynn Resorts contributed all of its equity interests in Wynn Group Asia, Inc. ("Wynn Asia") to Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC, which was formerly known as Wynn America, LLC ("WRF"), making Wynn Asia a wholly owned subsidiary of WRF. WRF is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts. Wynn Asia is a holding company that holds Wynn Resorts' approximately 72% controlling interest in WML.

Development Projects

The Company is currently constructing an approximately 430,000 square foot meeting and convention facility at Wynn Las Vegas. The facility will feature approximately 217,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and convention space available for group reservations. The Company expects to open the additional meeting and convention facility in the first quarter of 2020. The Company opened the newly reconfigured Wynn Las Vegas golf course on October 11, 2019.

Note 2 -    Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 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, 2018

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company identifies as variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For information on the Company's VIEs, see Note 15 "Retail Joint Venture." All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Leases

Lessee Arrangements    

The Company is the lessee under non-cancelable real estate and equipment leases. Beginning on January 1, 2019 (the date of the Company's adoption of Topic 842, as defined and discussed further in "Recently Adopted Accounting Standards"), operating lease assets and liabilities are measured and recorded upon lease commencement at the present value of the future minimum lease payments. The Company combines lease and nonlease components in its determination of minimum lease payments, except for certain asset classes that have significant nonlease components. As the interest rate implicit in its leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The Company does not record an asset or liability for operating leases with a term of less than one year. Variable lease costs generally arise from changes in an index, such as the consumer price index. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and are not included in the determination of lease assets or liabilities. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company did not record an asset or liability for any of its operating leases.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company is the lessor under non-cancelable operating leases for retail and food and beverage outlet space at its integrated resorts, which represents approximately 101,000, 59,000, 142,000, and 36,000 square feet of space at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Wynn Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The lease arrangements generally include minimum base rent and contingent rental clauses based on a percentage of net sales. Generally, the terms of the leases range between five and 10 years. The Company records revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and recognizes revenue for contingent rentals when the contingency has been resolved. The Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components for the purpose of measuring lease revenue. Revenue is recorded in entertainment, retail and other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Gaming Taxes

The Company is subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which it operates, subject to applicable jurisdictional adjustments. These gaming taxes are recorded as casino expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These taxes totaled $543.9 million and $638.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $1.69 billion and $1.81 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Pre-opening expenses

Pre-opening expenses represent personnel, advertising, and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures and are expensed as incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred pre-opening expenses primarily in connection with the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), which requires recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of additional information about leasing activities. The Company adopted this standard using a modified retrospective transition approach with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. As a result, prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and are not comparable to current periods. The Company elected the practical expedient permitting lessees to carry forward historical lease classifications for existing arrangements. The following is a summary of the significant impacts on the Company's balance sheet as of January 1, 2019:

The Company recognized operating lease assets and liabilities of $154.1 million, which represented the discounted future minimum lease payments of all existing leases on the initial application date.
The net carrying amount of a definite-lived intangible asset, which related to a leasehold interest in land and totaled $88.1 million, was reclassified to operating lease assets.
Leasehold interests in land, net, which totaled $206.9 million, were reclassified to operating lease assets from property and equipment, net.

WYNN RESORTS, LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

Certain other initial direct cost assets, prepaid lease assets, and deferred rent accrued liabilities were reclassified to operating lease assets.

As the Company elected to carry forward historical lease classifications, an arrangement concluded to contain a capital lease under the previous standard was deemed a finance lease under Topic 842, with no resultant change in accounting other than the reclassification of associated initial direct costs from other assets to property and equipment, net. There was no impact on the Company's operating income, net income or cash flows as a result of adopting Topic 842.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of the new guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not expect that it will have a material impact.

On September 20, 2019, WRF and its subsidiary Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (collectively with WRF, the "WRF Issuers"), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5 1/8% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2029 Indenture") among the WRF Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in a private offering. The 2029 Notes were issued at par.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, WRF entered into a credit agreement (the "WRF Credit Agreement") providing for a new first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the "WRF Term Loan") and a new first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million (the "WRF Revolver" and together with the WRF Term Loan, the "WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities") (the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 2029 Notes are collectively referred to as the "Refinancing Transactions").

WRF used the net proceeds from the Refinancing Transactions to refinance the existing Wynn America credit facilities and the Wynn Resorts term loan and to pay related fees and expenses totaling $18.8 million, of which $14.8 million was recorded as debt issuance costs within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognized the Refinancing Transactions primarily as a modification of existing debt with the related unamortized debt issuance costs reallocated to the new debt instruments. For those components of debt that were deemed extinguished, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $12.2 million.

WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Subject to certain exceptions, the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum. The annual fee required to pay for unborrowed amounts under the WRF Revolver, if any, is 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, calculated based on the daily average of the unborrowed amounts under such credit facilities. The Company is required to make quarterly repayments on the WRF Term Loan of $12.5 million beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, with any remaining principal amount outstanding repayable in full on September 20, 2024.

The WRF Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and negative and affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries, to incur and/or repay indebtedness, to make certain restricted payments, and to enter into mergers and acquisitions, negative pledges, liens, transactions with affiliates, and sales of assets. In addition, Wynn Resorts Finance is subject to financial covenants, including maintaining a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement. Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2019, the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio is not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00.

The WRF Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each of WRF's existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), subject to certain exceptions, and are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of WRF's and each of the guarantors' existing and future property and assets, subject to certain exceptions, including a limitation on the amount of collateral granted by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("WLV") and its subsidiaries so as to not violate the indenture governing WLV's outstanding senior notes.

2029 Notes

The 2029 Notes will mature on October 1, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 5 1/8% per annum, payable in arrears semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The WRF Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium, as defined in the 2029 Indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after July 1, 2029, the WRF Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the 2029 Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a change of control triggering event, the WRF Issuers will be required to offer to repurchase the 2029 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. The 2029 Notes are also subject to disposition and redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

The 2029 Notes are the WRF Issuers' senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with the WLV senior notes due 2023, 2025, and 2027, and rank equally in right of payment with Wynn Las Vegas' guarantee of the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers' existing and future subordinated debt. The 2029 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the WRF Issuers' existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt), and structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of the WRF Issuers' subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2029 Notes, including WML and its subsidiaries.

The 2029 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of WRF's existing domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and each of its subsidiaries that guarantees its existing senior notes due 2023, 2025, and 2027. The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to all of their future subordinated debt. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the Guarantors that are not so subordinated and will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of such Guarantors' existing and future secured debt (to the extent of the collateral securing such debt).

The 2029 Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the WRF Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, create or incur liens to secure debt, and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the WRF Issuers' assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 2029 Indenture.

The 2029 Indenture also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain covenants, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the 2029 Indenture allows either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, as applicable, issued under such 2029 Indenture to accelerate the amounts due under the 2029 Notes, or in the case of bankruptcy or insolvency, will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the 2029 Notes.

The 2029 Notes were offered pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The 2029 Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Therefore, the 2029 Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Wynn Resorts Term Loan

On October 30, 2018, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement (as subsequently amended, the "WRL Credit Agreement") to provide for a $500.0 million six year term loan facility (the "WRL Term Loan I"). On March 8, 2019, the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, and certain incremental term facility lenders entered into an incremental joinder agreement that amended the WRL Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide the Company with an additional $250.0 million term loan (the "WRL Term Loan II," and, collectively with the WRL Term Loan I, the "Wynn Resorts Term Loan"), on substantially similar terms as the WRL Term Loan I. On September 20, 2019, the Wynn Resorts Term Loan was prepaid in full in connection with the Refinancing Transactions and the WRL Credit Agreement was terminated.

Commitment Letter

On March 8, 2019, in connection with the WRL Term Loan II, the Company agreed to terminate the remaining $250.0 million of the lenders' commitments under the commitment letter. Accordingly, there are no remaining commitments under the commitment letter.

The Redemption Note was recorded at fair value in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The Company repaid the principal amount in full on March 30, 2018. On March 30, 2018, the Company also paid an additional $463.6 million in settlement of certain legal claims concerning the Redemption Note, which is recorded as a litigation settlement expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

Certain members of the Company's executive management team receive a portion of their annual incentive bonus in shares of the Company's stock. The number of shares is determined based on the closing stock price on the date the annual incentive bonus is settled. As the number of shares is variable, the Company records a liability for the fixed monetary amount over the service period. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards of $2.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6.3 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 11 - Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $19.7 million and an income tax benefit of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $19.4 million and an income tax benefit of $124.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and the 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to the settlement of the Redemption Note.

The Company records valuation allowances on certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. In the assessment of the valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence including recent operating profitability, forecast of future earnings and the duration of statutory carryforward periods.

Wynn Macau SA received a five year exemption from Macau's 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits through December 31, 2020. Accordingly, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company was exempt from the payment of such taxes totaling $13.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company was exempt from the payment of such taxes totaling $56.0 million and $73.7 million, respectively. 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.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Wynn Resorts by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock.

The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS consisted of the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Ground Leases
Undeveloped Land - Las Vegas
    
The Company leases approximately 16 acres of undeveloped land on Las Vegas Boulevard directly across from Wynn Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, which expires in 2097. The ground lease payments, which increase at a fixed rate over the term of the lease, are $3.8 million per year until 2023 and total payments of $367.8 million thereafter. As of September 30, 2019, the liability associated with this lease was $62.5 million.

At September 30, 2019, operating lease assets included approximately $87.2 million related to an amount allocated to the leasehold interest in land upon the acquisition of a group of assets in 2018. The Company expects that the amortization of this amount will be $1.1 million each year from 2020 through 2096 and $0.7 million in 2097.

Macau Land Concessions

Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were built on land that is leased under Macau land concession contracts each with terms of 25 years from May 2012 and August 2004, respectively, which may be renewed with government approval for successive 10-year periods in accordance with Macau legislation. The land concession payments are expected to be $1.6 million per year through 2023 and total payments of $17.0 million thereafter through 2037. At September 30, 2019, the total liability associated with these leases was $15.7 million.

At September 30, 2019, operating lease assets included $194.2 million of leasehold interests in land related to the Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau land concessions. The Company expects that the amortization associated with these leasehold interests will be approximately $12.5 million per year from 2020 through 2028 and approximately $9.1 million per year thereafter through 2037.

Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In addition to the actions noted below, the Company and its affiliates are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Massachusetts Gaming License Related Actions

On September 17, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission ("MGC") designated Wynn MA, LLC ("Wynn MA") the award winner of the Greater Boston (Region A) gaming license (the "Boston area license"). On November 7, 2014, the gaming license became effective.

Massachusetts Gaming Commission Investigation and Adjudicatory Hearing

On January 31, 2018, the Investigations & Enforcement Bureau ("IEB") of the MGC announced it had commenced an investigation into the Company's ongoing suitability as a gaming licensee in that jurisdiction related to the alleged inappropriate workplace conduct by the Company’s former CEO Stephen A. Wynn. The Company fully cooperated with the IEB's investigation. After a three-day adjudicatory hearing before the MGC, the MGC concluded that the Company and Wynn MA are suitable to maintain a Massachusetts gaming license, subject to a fine of $35.0 million, which the Company paid during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and the Company's fulfillment of other conditions set forth in the MGC decision.

Revere Action

On October 16, 2014, the City of Revere, the host community to the unsuccessful bidder for the Boston area license, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103 ("IBEW"), and several individuals, filed a complaint against the MGC and its gaming commissioners in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, Massachusetts (the "Revere Action"). Mohegan Sun ("Mohegan") the other applicant for the Boston area license, joined the lawsuit and challenged the MGC's award of the Boston area license. On December 3, 2015, the court granted the MGC's motion to dismiss the claims asserted in the Revere Action and the court dismissed all claims except Mohegan's claim alleging procedural error by the MGC in granting the license to Wynn MA. The plaintiffs appealed. After multiple appeals and cross appeals, only two claims remained: (1) individual plaintiffs' claim for violation of the open meeting laws; and (2) Mohegan's claim for procedural error. On July 12, 2019, the Suffolk Superior Court granted the MGC's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the open meeting law claim, leaving only Mohegan's procedural claim.

On August 2, 2019, Mohegan filed a motion to file a second amended complaint, to add new claims related to the MGC's allegedly inadequate 2013 investigation, using information, documents and testimony from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission Investigation and Adjudicatory Hearing. On October 15, 2019, the court granted Mohegan's motion to amend and allowed it to file a second amended intervenor's complaint.

Wynn MA was not named in the Revere Action. The MGC retained private legal representation at its own nontaxpayer-funded expense.

Suffolk Action

On September 17, 2018, Sterling Suffolk Racecourse, LLC, owner of the property proposed for location of a casino by an unsuccessful bidder for the Boston area license filed a complaint in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, against the Company, Wynn MA, certain current and former officers of the Company, FBT Everett Realty, LLC, former owner of the land on which Encore Boston Harbor is located ("FBT"), and Paul Lohnes, a member of FBT. The complaint alleges, among other things, the defendants violated the RICO Act, conspired to circumvent the application process for the Boston area license and violated Massachusetts law with respect to unfair methods of competition. The plaintiff seeks $1.0 billion in compensatory damages and treble damages. All defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On May 7, 2019, the court held a hearing on the motions to dismiss and stayed all discovery pending a decision on the motions.

The Company will vigorously defend against the claims asserted. This action is in preliminary stages and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this action or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

Nevada Gaming Control Board Investigation

On January 25, 2019, the Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a complaint against the Company and its indirect subsidiary, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC ("NGCB Respondents"), related to the alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. Simultaneously, the NGCB Respondents entered into a Stipulation for Settlement of the complaint, under which, among other things, the NGCB Respondents agreed to pay a fine in an amount to be determined by the Nevada Gaming Commission, and the Nevada Gaming Control Board agreed not to seek to revoke or limit the NGCB Respondents' licenses, findings of suitability or any other gaming approvals. On February 26, 2019, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved the Stipulation for Settlement and fined the Company $20.0 million, which was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Derivative Litigation

A number of stockholder derivative actions have been filed in state and federal court located in Clark County, Nevada against certain current and former members of the Company's Board of Directors and, in some cases, the Company's current and former officers. Each of the complaints alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties in failing to detect, prevent and remedy alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. On September 19, 2018, the Board established a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") to investigate the allegations in the State Derivative Case (as defined below).
 
The actions filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada have been consolidated as In re Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Derivative Litigation ("State Derivative Case"). On October 26, 2018, the SLC filed a motion to intervene and stay the State Derivative Case pending completion of its investigation, which the court granted (the "SLC Stay"). A status hearing considering a number of matters related to the State Derivative Case is scheduled for November 13, 2019.

In 2018, several actions filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada were consolidated as In re Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Derivative Litigation ("Federal Derivative Case"), which also claim corporate waste and violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. In June 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay pending resolution of the Securities Action (described below). On March 29, 2019, the Court granted the Company's request for a stay.
 
On March 25, 2019, a separate stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court, District of Nevada alleging identical causes of action as the Federal Derivative Case with the additional allegation that the Board of Directors improperly refused the stockholder's demand to commence litigation against the officers and directors of the Company. On June 10, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, or alternatively to consolidate this action into the Federal Derivative Case, which is stayed. The motion is currently pending before the court.

On June 3, 2019, a separate stockholder derivative action was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada alleging substantially similar causes of action as the State Derivative Case with the additional allegation that various of the Company's attorneys committed professional malpractice, and certain current and former executives also breached fiduciary duties and aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties, in connection with the alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace. On July 26, 2019, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed Matt Maddox, Stephen A. Wynn, Kimmarie Sinatra, John J. Hagenbuch, Ray R. Irani, Jay L. Johnson, Robert J. Miller, Patricia Mulroy, Clark T. Randt, Jr., Alvin V. Shoemaker, J. Edward Virtue, D. Boone Wayson, and one of the Company's law firms from the action. On September 19, 2019, the court entered an order consolidating this action into the State Derivative Case, the effect of which the Company is seeking clarification.

Each of the actions seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution and disgorgement of profits, and also seeks to recover attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. 

Individual Stockholder Actions

A number of stockholders have filed individual actions in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada against certain current and former members of the Company's Board of Directors and certain of the Company's current and former officers ("Individual Stockholder Actions"). Each of the complaints alleges that defendants, among other things, breached their fiduciary duties in failing to detect, prevent and remedy alleged inappropriate personal conduct by Stephen A. Wynn in the workplace causing injury to each of the individual stockholders.

On January 29, 2019, the defendants filed motions to dismiss each of the Individual Stockholder Actions. The court held a hearing on defendants' motions to dismiss on September 18, 2019, and took the matter under advisement.

Securities Action
 
On February 20, 2018, a putative securities class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York (which was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court, District of Nevada) by John V. Ferris and Joann M. Ferris on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's common stock between February 28, 2014 and January 25, 2018. The complaint alleges, among other things, certain violations of federal securities laws and seeks to recover unspecified damages as well as attorneys' fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. The defendants have filed motions to dismiss, which are currently pending before the court.
 
The defendants in these actions will vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against them. These actions are in preliminary stages and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

Aruze and Affiliates Litigation

On February 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts determined that Universal Entertainment Corp., Aruze (together with Universal Entertainment Corp, the "Universal Parties") and Kazuo Okada, and the related parties (collectively, the "Okada Parties") were "unsuitable persons" under the Company's articles and redeemed and canceled Aruze's 24,549,222 shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock, and, pursuant to its articles of incorporation, Wynn Resorts issued the Redemption Note to Aruze in redemption of the shares. The next day, Wynn Resorts filed an action alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims (the "Redemption Action"). The Okada Parties denied the claims and asserted counterclaims.

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") by and between the Company and its individual directors and officers (the "Wynn Parties"), and the Universal Parties. The Settlement Agreement resolved all legal proceedings pending between the settling parties in the Redemption Action. The Universal Parties further released any claims against the Wynn Parties and their affiliates in any other jurisdiction, including a proceeding pending in Macau against Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. ("Wynn Macau SA") and certain related individuals ("Macau Litigation"). Subsequently the Company voluntarily dismissed its claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Kazuo Okada.

In 2015, the Okada Parties filed a complaint in the Court of First Instance of Macau ("Macau Court") against Wynn Macau SA and certain individuals who are or were directors of Wynn Macau SA or WML (collectively, the "Wynn Macau Parties"). On July 11, 2017, the Macau Court dismissed all of the Okada Parties' claims as unfounded, fined the Okada Parties, and ordered the Okada Parties to pay for court costs and the Wynn Macau Parties' attorney's fees. On or about October 16, 2017, the Okada Parties formally appealed in Macau. On February 21, 2019, the Macau Appellate Panel dismissed the appeal. Mr. Okada, who was at that time the only remaining claimant after the Universal Parties' withdrawal pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, failed to appeal within the prescribed time, resulting in the final resolution of the lawsuit in favor of the Wynn Macau Parties.

Derivative Litigation Related to Redemption Action

Two state derivative actions were commenced against the Company and all members of its Board of Directors in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada by the IBEW Local 98 Pension Fund and Danny Hinson (collectively, the "Derivative Plaintiffs") regarding the Redemption Action. On March 15, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation and order to dismiss

the action, with prejudice, which the court entered on March 18, 2019. Neither the Company nor any of the individual defendants made any form of payment in exchange for the dismissal of the action.

Note 15 - Retail Joint Venture

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Retail Joint Venture had total assets of $95.3 million and $85.0 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $629.3 million and $619.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Retail Joint Venture's liabilities included long-term debt of $611.6 million and $611.1 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs, related to the outstanding borrowings under the Retail Term Loan.

Note 16 - Segment Information

The Company reviews the results of operations for each of its operating segments, and identifies reportable segments based upon factors such as geography, regulatory environment, and the Company's organizational and management reporting structure. Wynn Macau and Encore, an expansion at Wynn Macau, are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated as one reportable segment ("Wynn Macau"). Wynn Palace is presented as a separate reportable segment and is combined with Wynn Macau for geographical presentation. Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, an expansion at Wynn Las Vegas, and the Retail Joint Venture are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated as one reportable segment ("Las Vegas Operations"). On June 23, 2019, the Company opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts. Encore Boston Harbor is presented as one reportable segment.

The Company also reviews construction and development activities for each of its projects under development, in addition to its reportable segments. Other Macau primarily represents the assets for the Company's Macau holding company.

(1) Includes lease revenue accounted for under lease accounting guidance. For more information on leases, see Note 13, "Leases".
(2) Adjusted Property EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, stock-based compensation, (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, change in derivatives fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value 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, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors 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 GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their EBITDA calculations pre-opening expenses, property charges, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that 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 has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
(3) Excludes $0.7 million included in pre-opening expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Overview

We are a designer, developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. In the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Macau"), we own approximately 72% of Wynn Macau, Limited ("WML"), which includes the operations of the Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau resorts, which we refer to as our Macau Operations. In Las Vegas, Nevada, we operate and, with the exception of certain retail space, own 100% of Wynn Las Vegas. Additionally, we are a 50.1% owner and managing member of a joint venture that owns and leases certain retail space at Wynn Las Vegas (the "Retail Joint Venture"). We refer to Wynn Las Vegas and the Retail Joint Venture as our Las Vegas Operations. On June 23, 2019, we opened Encore Boston Harbor, an integrated resort in Everett, Massachusetts.

Construction and Development Opportunities

We recently completed our reconfiguration of the Wynn Las Vegas golf course and opened the golf course on October 11, 2019. We are constructing an approximately 430,000 square foot meeting and convention facility at Wynn Las Vegas. The facility will feature approximately 217,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and convention space available for group reservations. Based on current designs, we estimate the total project budget to be approximately $425.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, we have incurred $302.7 million in total project costs. We expect to open the additional meeting and convention space in the first quarter of 2020.

Table of Contents


We are currently reconfiguring the West Casino at Wynn Macau. When completed, the enhanced space will consist of approximately 44 mass market table games, a refurbished high-limit slot area, two new restaurants and approximately 7,000 square feet of retail space, and will provide for improved pedestrian access from the boardwalk. We estimate the total project budget to be approximately $70.0 million. We expect to complete the gaming enhancements and open the new restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2019, and we expect to open the new retail space at varying times in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020.

We are in the preliminary planning and design stages of developing the Crystal Pavilion at Wynn Palace. We expect the Crystal Pavilion will become a unique world-class cultural destination, incorporating an art museum, an immersive theater and interactive installations, an expansive food hall, additional hotel rooms, and several signature entertainment features. We estimate construction of the initial phase of the Crystal Pavilion will begin in late 2021.

We are exploring various development opportunities with respect to the approximately 38 acres of land located on the Las Vegas Strip directly across from Wynn Las Vegas.    

We continually seek out new opportunities for additional gaming or related businesses, in the United States, and worldwide.
    
Key Operating Measures

Certain key operating measures specific to the gaming industry are included in our discussion of our operational performance for the periods for which the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented. These key operating measures are defined below:

Table drop in mass market for our Macau Operations is the amount of cash that is deposited in a gaming table's drop box plus cash chips purchased at the casino cage.
Table drop for our Las Vegas Operations is the amount of cash and net markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
Table drop for Encore Boston Harbor is the amount of cash and gross markers issued that are deposited in a gaming table's drop box.
Rolling chips are non-negotiable identifiable chips that are used to track turnover for purposes of calculating incentives within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
Turnover is the sum of all losing rolling chip wagers within our Macau Operations' VIP program.
Table games win is the amount of table drop or turnover that is retained and recorded as casino revenues. Table games win is before discounts, commissions and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.
Slot machine win is the amount of handle (representing the total amount wagered) that is retained by us and is recorded as casino revenues. Slot machine win is after adjustment for progressive accruals and free play, but before discounts and the allocation of casino revenues to rooms, food and beverage and other revenues for services provided to casino customers on a complimentary basis.
Average daily rate ("ADR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms occupied.
Revenue per available room ("REVPAR") is calculated by dividing total room revenues, including complimentaries (less service charges, if any), by total rooms available.
Occupancy is calculated by dividing total occupied rooms, including complimentary rooms, by the total rooms available.

Below is a discussion of the methodologies used to calculate win percentages at our resorts.

In our VIP operations in Macau, customers primarily purchase rolling chips from the casino cage and can only use them to make wagers. Winning wagers are paid in cash chips. The loss of the rolling chips in the VIP operations is recorded as turnover and provides a base for calculating VIP win percentage. It is customary in Macau to measure VIP play using this rolling chip method. We expect our win as a percentage of turnover from these operations to be within the range of 2.7% to 3.0%.


 
31
 

Table of Contents


In our mass market operations in Macau, customers may purchase cash chips at either the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The measurements from our VIP and mass market operations are not comparable as the measurement method used in our mass market operations tracks the initial purchase of chips at the table and at the casino cage, while the measurement method from our VIP operations tracks the sum of all losing wagers. Accordingly, the base measurement from the VIP operations is much larger than the base measurement from the mass market operations. As a result, the expected win percentage with the same amount of gaming win is lower in the VIP operations when compared to the mass market operations.

In Las Vegas, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers at the gaming tables or at the casino cage. The cash and markers, net of redemptions, used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 22% to 26%.

At Encore Boston Harbor, customers purchase chips at the gaming tables in exchange for cash and markers. Customers may then redeem markers only at the casino cage. The cash and gross markers used to purchase chips are deposited in the gaming table's drop box. This is the base of measurement that we use for calculating win percentage. Each type of table game has its own theoretical win percentage. Our expected table games win percentage is 16% to 20%.

(1) Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Room revenues increased $22.8 million, primarily due to $18.2 million from Encore Boston Harbor and higher ADR at our Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by rooms out of service for renovations at Wynn Macau.

Food and beverage revenues increased $34.6 million, primarily due to $29.0 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increased covers at our high-volume restaurants at our Macau Operations.

Entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $5.1 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the effect of which was partially offset by Entertainment, retail and other revenues of $13.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor. During the third quarter of 2018, Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau recorded business interruption insurance proceeds of $5.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to the full settlement of claims from Typhoon Hato in 2017.

Total operating expenses increased $51.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to operating expenses associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 23, 2019, partially offset by decreased casino expenses and pre-opening expenses.

Casino expenses decreased commensurate with the decrease in casino revenues at our Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by $64.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor.

Room expenses increased primarily due to $9.5 million from Encore Boston Harbor and an increase of $2.0 million at our Las Vegas Operations. The increase at our Las Vegas Operations was primarily due to increased payroll costs.

Food and beverage expenses increased primarily due to $28.3 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $2.2 million and $2.4 million at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau, respectively. The increases at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were driven by incremental costs associated with opening new food and beverage outlets at Wynn Palace and increased costs of goods sold.

Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the opening of Encore Boston Harbor, partially offset by a decrease of $8.9 million primarily related to corporate and other general and administrative expenses. The decrease in corporate and other general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, pre-opening expenses totaled $1.6 million, which primarily related to the additional meeting and convention facility at our Las Vegas Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, pre-opening expenses totaled $13.7 million, which primarily related to the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to additional depreciation expense of $36.3 million associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor.

Interest costs increased due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance and weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased due to the completion of Encore Boston Harbor construction activities on June 23, 2019.
  
Other non-operating income and expenses

We recorded a $12.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Refinancing Transactions. For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $8.7 million and gain of $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities drove the variability between periods.

Income taxes
We recorded an income tax expense of $19.7 million and an income tax benefit of $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and the 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to an increase in deferred tax assets.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $63.7 million for the same period of 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income from WML.

(1) Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Room revenues increased $36.5 million, primarily due to $19.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor and higher ADR at Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by rooms out of service for renovations at Wynn Macau.

Food and beverage revenues increased $38.8 million, primarily due to $32.8 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increased covers at our high-volume restaurants at our Macau Operations.

Entertainment, retail and other revenues decreased $19.5 million primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019, the effect of which was partially offset by Entertainment, retail and other revenues of $14.1 million from Encore Boston Harbor. During the third quarter of 2018, Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau recorded business interruption insurance proceeds of $5.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to the full settlement of claims from Typhoon Hato in 2017.

Total operating expenses decreased $234.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to a prior year litigation settlement expense of $463.6 million. The decrease was partially offset by operating expenses associated with the opening of Encore Boston Harbor on June 23, 2019.

Casino expenses decreased commensurate with the decrease in casino revenues at our Macau Operations and Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by $73.0 million of casino expenses from Encore Boston Harbor.

Room expenses increased primarily due to $10.0 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $3.0 million and $1.5 million from our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Palace, respectively. The increases from Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations were primarily driven by increased payroll costs.

Food and beverage expenses increased primarily due to $31.9 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $11.9 million, $8.7 million and $6.6 million at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. The increases at Wynn Palace and Wynn Macau were driven by incremental costs associated with opening new food and beverage outlets at Wynn Palace and increased cost of goods sold. The increase at our Las Vegas Operations was primarily driven by increased payroll costs.

Entertainment, retail and other expenses decreased $9.0 million, primarily due to the closure of certain owned retail outlets at Wynn Macau and their conversion to leased outlets beginning in the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to $67.1 million from Encore Boston Harbor and increases of $4.7 million$9.2 million, and $4.9 million, at Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to increased payroll costs and property taxes at our Macau Operations and increased advertising costs at our Las Vegas Operations. Corporate and other general and administrative expenses increased $34.6 million, primarily due to a fine of $35.0 million assessed by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.

Litigation settlement expense of $463.6 million was incurred in the first quarter of 2018 in connection with the repayment of the Redemption Note for claims related to the allegedly below-market interest rate of the Redemption Note.

The provision for doubtful accounts increase$8.0 million and $1.3 million at our Las Vegas Operations and Wynn Macau, respectively. The change was primarily due to the impact of historical collection patterns and current collection trends, as well as the specific review of customer accounts, on our estimated allowance for the respective periods.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, pre-opening expenses totaled $99.2 million and $35.3 million, respectively, which primarily related to the development of Encore Boston Harbor.

Interest costs increased due to an increase in the weighted average debt balance and weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest increased due to Encore Boston Harbor construction activities. Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Other non-operating income and expenses

During the first quarter of 2018, we repaid the $1.94 billion principal amount of the Redemption Note and recorded a loss of $69.3 million from the change in the fair value of the Redemption Note.
We recorded a $12.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Refinancing Transactions. For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources." We recorded a $2.1 million net gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the repayment of the Redemption Note, Wynn Resorts' purchase of $40.0 million of Wynn Las Vegas' 5 1/2% Senior Notes due 2025 and 5 1/4% Senior Notes due 2027 and the execution of the supplemental indenture related to Wynn Las Vegas' 4 1/4% Senior Notes due 2023.

We incurred a foreign currency remeasurement loss of $3.3 million and gain of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The changes were primarily due to the impact of the exchange rate fluctuation of the Macau pataca, in relation to the U.S. dollar, on the remeasurements of U.S. dollar denominated debt and other obligations from our Macau-related entities.

Income taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $19.4 million and an income tax benefit of $124.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 income tax expense is primarily related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S foreign tax credits and 2018 income tax benefit primarily related to the settlement of the Redemption Note.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $132.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $180.0 million for the same period of 2018. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interests' share of net income from WML.

Adjusted Property EBITDA

We use Adjusted Property EBITDA to manage the operating results of our segments. Adjusted Property EBITDA is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, pre-opening expenses, property charges and other, management and license fees, corporate expenses and other, stock-based compensation, (loss) gain on extinguishment of debt, change in derivatives fair value, change in Redemption Note fair value and other non-operating income and expenses. Adjusted Property EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because we believe that it is widely

Table of Contents


used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. We use Adjusted Property EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of our segments and to compare the operating performance of our properties with those of our competitors, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation. We also present Adjusted Property EBITDA because it is used by some investors 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 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, corporate expenses and stock-based compensation, that 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 has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, income taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted Property EBITDA. Also, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Property EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

The following table summarizes Adjusted Property EBITDA (in thousands) for Wynn Palace, Wynn Macau, Las Vegas Operations, and Encore Boston Harbor as reviewed by management and summarized in Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 16, "Segment Information." That footnote also presents a reconciliation of Adjusted Property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited.

Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Palace decreased 28.3% and 10.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win.
Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Macau decreased 24.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win. Adjusted Property EBITDA at Wynn Macau decreased 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in VIP turnover and VIP table games win, a decrease in entertainment, retail and other revenues primarily related to the closure of certain owned retail outlets, and increased general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operations decreased 7.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in table games win percentage and increases in general and administrative expenses and provision for doubtful accounts. Adjusted Property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operations decreased 7.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to decreased table drop, increased food and beverage expenses, general and administrative expenses and provision for doubtful accounts.
Adjusted Property EBITDA at Encore Boston Harbor was $7.7 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Encore Boston Harbor opened on June 23, 2019.

Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows primarily consist of operating income (excluding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges), interest paid and earned, and changes in working capital accounts such as receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, and payables. Our table games play is a mix of cash play and credit play, while our slot machine play is conducted primarily on a cash basis. A significant portion of our table games revenue is attributable to the play of a limited number of premium international customers who gamble on credit. The ability to collect these gaming receivables may impact our operating cash flow for the period. Our rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment, retail and other revenue is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Accordingly, operating cash flows will be impacted by changes in operating income and accounts receivable, net.

The increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily driven by changes in our working capital accounts and an increase in deferred tax assets related to the settlement of the Redemption Note during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded and paid a $463.6 million litigation settlement expense.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred capital expenditures of $421.4 million related to the construction of Encore Boston Harbor, $104.1 million at Wynn Macau primarily related to the room remodel and West Casino renovation, $47.2 million and $71.9 million at Wynn Palace and our Las Vegas Operations, respectively, primarily related to

maintenance capital expenditures, and $166.4 million primarily related to the construction of the additional meeting and convention space at Wynn Las Vegas and the reconfiguration of the Wynn Las Vegas golf course. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $603.6 million in capital expenditures, for Encore Boston Harbor and $336.2 million for the acquisition of land on the Las Vegas Strip directly across from Wynn Las Vegas.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we borrowed an additional $250.0 million term loan under the Wynn Resorts Credit Agreement, and in connection with the Refinancing Transactions described below, we repaid $991.3 million of outstanding principal under the Wynn America Credit Facilities and $746.3 million of outstanding principal under the Wynn Resorts Term Loan along with related financing costs, using proceeds from the borrowing of $1.03 billion under the WRF Credit Facilities and issuance of $750.0 million of WRF 2029 notes. We also repaid $174.7 million, net of amounts borrowed, on the Wynn Macau Senior Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we used cash of $460.1 million for the payment of dividends.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repaid the Redemption Note principal amount of $1.94 billion using cash on hand and amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility and the WA Senior Revolving Credit Facility. In April 2018, we repaid all amounts borrowed under the Bridge Facility and the WA Senior Revolving Credit Facility using net proceeds of $915.2 million from a registered public equity offering. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we borrowed $624.4 million under the Macau Senior Revolving Credit Facility, $615.0 million under the Retail Term Loan, and we used cash of $350.7 million for the payment of dividends and $301.1 million for distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of the Retail Joint Venture.

Wynn Macau, Limited generates cash from our Macau Operations, which we expect to use to service our Wynn Macau Credit Facilities and WML Notes, pay dividends to shareholders of WML (of which we own approximately 72%), and fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The Wynn Macau Credit Facilities contain customary negative covenants and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries.
Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC (formerly known as Wynn America, LLC) ("WRF") generates cash from dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries, including Wynn Macau, Limited, and contributions from Wynn Resorts as required. We expect to use WRF cash to service our WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities, WRF 2029 Notes, and WLV Notes, make distributions to Wynn Resorts, and to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary negative and financial covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that restrict our ability to pay dividends or distributions to any direct or indirect subsidiaries.
Wynn Resorts, Limited is a holding company and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends is highly dependent on our ability to obtain funds and our subsidiaries' ability to provide funds to us. Wynn Resorts, Limited and other primarily generates cash from royalty and management agreements with our resorts, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries, and the operations of the Retail Joint Venture of which we own 50.1%. We expect to use this cash to service our Retail Term Loan, fund the construction of the additional meeting and convention space in Las Vegas, and pay dividends.

Refinancing Transactions

On September 20, 2019, WRF and its subsidiary Wynn Resorts Capital Corp. (collectively with WRF, the "WRF Issuers"), each an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5 1/8% Senior

Table of Contents


Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") pursuant to an indenture (the "2029 Indenture") among the WRF Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), in a private offering. The 2029 Notes were issued at par. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, WRF entered into a credit agreement (the "WRF Credit Agreement") providing for a new first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the "WRF Term Loan") and a new first lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million (the "WRF Revolver" and together with the WRF Term Loan, the "WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities") (the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities and 2029 Notes are collectively referred to as the "Refinancing Transactions").

Subject to certain exceptions, the WRF Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum. The annual fee required to pay for unborrowed amounts under the WRF Revolver, if any, is 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, calculated based on the daily average of the unborrowed amounts under such credit facilities. The Company is required to make quarterly repayments on the WRF Term Loan of $12.5 million beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, with any remaining principal amount outstanding repayable in full on September 20, 2024.

The WRF Credit Agreement contains restrictions that limit the amount of certain restricted payments WRF and its restricted subsidiaries may make, including dividends and distributions paid to Wynn Resorts. Such restrictions include WRF's requirement to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 and a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the WRF Credit Agreement) not to exceed 5.50 to 1.00 at each fiscal quarter. WRF may make ordinary course dividends or distributions to Wynn Resorts in an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion in any fiscal year, with certain carryover provisions for unused amounts from the two preceding fiscal years, and unlimited provided that the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 5.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis for the distribution, plus certain other amounts subject to thresholds and limitations.

The 2029 Notes will mature on October 1, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 5 1/8% per annum, payable in arrears semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020. The 2029 Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the WRF Issuers and the guarantors to, among other things, create or incur liens to secure debt in excess of the greater of $1.85 billion or an amount that would cause the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2029 Indenture) to be greater than 3.00 to 1.00.

Wynn Resorts Finance used the net proceeds from the Refinancing Transactions to refinance the existing Wynn America Credit Facilities and the Wynn Resorts Term Loan and to pay related fees and expenses.

For more information on the Refinancing Transactions, see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 6, "Long-Term Debt."

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

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.
 
Legal proceedings in which we are involved also may impact our liquidity. No assurance can be provided as to the outcome of such proceedings. In addition, litigation inherently involves significant costs. For information regarding legal proceedings, see Item 1—"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies."

Our Board of Directors has authorized an equity repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion. Under the equity repurchase program, we may repurchase the Company's outstanding shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2019, we had $800.1 million in repurchase authority remaining under the program.

We have in the past repurchased, and in the future, we may periodically consider repurchasing our outstanding notes for cash. The amount of any notes to be repurchased, as well as the timing of any repurchases, will be based on business, market and other conditions and factors, including price, contractual requirements or consents, and capital availability.

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 domestic and international markets. There can be no assurances regarding the business prospects with respect to any other opportunity. Any new development would require us to

obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts, Limited or through subsidiaries separate from the Las Vegas or Macau-related entities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any transactions with special purpose entities nor do we engage in any derivatives except for an interest rate collar associated with our Retail Term Loan. We do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity. As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $18.1 million.

Contractual Commitments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, other than an increase in our fixed interest rate long-term debt obligations of $750.0 million and an increase in our annual fixed interest payments of $38.4 million, offset by a decrease in our variable interest rate long-term debt obligations of $646.0 million and a decrease in our annual estimated variable interest payments of $47.5 million, primarily in connection with the Refinancing Transactions as described above.

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, 2018. There have been no significant changes to these policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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, supplemented by hedging activities as believed by us to be appropriate. 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.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of September 30, 2019, approximately 54.5% of our long-term debt was based on fixed rates. Based on our borrowings as of September 30, 2019, an assumed 100 basis point change in the variable rates would cause our annual interest expense to change by $43.8 million.

In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the Retail Term Loan, the Company entered into a five year interest rate collar with a notional value of $615.0 million. The interest rate collar establishes a range whereby the Company will pay the counterparty if one-month LIBOR falls below the established floor rate of 1.00%, and the counterparty will pay the Company if one-month LIBOR exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.75%.

Foreign Currency Risks

We expect most of the revenues and expenses for any casino that we operate in Macau will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars or Macau patacas; however, a significant portion of our Wynn Macau, Limited debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the exchange rates resulting in weakening of the Macau pataca or the Hong Kong dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar could have materially adverse effects on our results, financial condition and ability to service debt. Based on our balances

as of September 30, 2019, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of $27.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), 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 were effective 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.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our 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 quarter to which this report relates that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date:
(1)    the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or
(2)    if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” have a corresponding meaning.

Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1)    the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Wynn Resorts Finance and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than to any Parent Entity and any Subsidiary of any Parent Entity;
(2)    the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of either Issuer or any successor thereto;

(4)    the first day on which Wynn Resorts ceases to own, directly or indirectly, 60% or more of the voting power of the outstanding Equity Interests of Wynn Resorts Finance.
Notwithstanding the above, a Change of Control shall not occur solely by reason of a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary thereof) shall have no further liability for the money. If either Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(1)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.
(2)    No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.11 and 9.04 hereof).
(3)    The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(4)    All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers,

42



 

evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(5)    Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers shall be required:
(A)    to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;
(B)    to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

Section 2.07
Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

43



 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of either Issuer holds the Note.

Section 2.09
Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or any of their Affiliates, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Section 2.10
Temporary Notes.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.11
Cancellation.
The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.13
Issuance of Additional Notes.
The Issuers will be entitled, upon delivery of an Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel and Authentication Order, subject to compliance with Section 2.02 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, the initial date from which interest shall accrue on such Additional Notes and issue price. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Issuers will be entitled to make any amendments to this Indenture or the Note Guarantees as they reasonably determine appropriate in good faith to facilitate the issuance of such Additional Notes.

Except as

46



 

provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.
Section 3.03
Notice of Redemption.
At least 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers shall deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 of this Indenture.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a)    the redemption date;

47



 

describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the discretion of the Issuers, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was mailed), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed. If mailed in the manner provided in Section 3.03 hereof, the notice of redemption shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to, but not including, the earlier of (1) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (2) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.09 as soon as reasonably practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to:

Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or Beneficial Owner may incur in connection with its registration, application for a license, qualification or a funding of suitability, or any renewal or continuation of the foregoing or compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority. Those costs and expenses will be the obligations of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable.

The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes.

Exempted Liens and Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 4.07 and Section 4.08, an Issuer or any Guarantor may create, assume or suffer to exist Liens or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions not otherwise permitted in Section 4.07 or Section 4.08, respectively, provided that at the time of such event, and after giving effect thereto, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by such Liens (not including Liens permitted under Section 4.07) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted under Section 4.08), measured, in each case, at the time any such Lien is incurred or any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into, by the Issuers and the Guarantors does not exceed the greater of (x) $1,850.0 million and (y) an amount that would cause the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis and Liens securing Indebtedness in excess of such amount to the extent such Lien is incurred in connection with an extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness (not to exceed the principal amount of such extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness plus fees, expenses and premium payable thereon) secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.09 or any previous extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any such Indebtedness (which extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness shall, for the avoidance of doubt, thereafter be included in the calculation of such amount); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that secure any of the Existing LV Notes so long as such Liens are limited solely to the pledge of the stock of the issuer of such Existing LV Notes.
Section 4.10
Corporate and Organizational Existence.

56



 

Subject to Article 5 hereof, except in the case of a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion, each of the Issuers shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(b)    the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuers and their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers), if the Board of Directors of Wynn Resorts Capital or the applicable Guarantor shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Wynn Resorts Finance and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
Section 4.11
Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 % of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes purchased, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within ten days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and stating:
(1)    that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.11 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment;
(2)    the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
(3)    that any Note not tendered shall continue to accrue interest;
(4)    that, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;
(5)    that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

57



 

(6)    that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and
(7)    that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 4.11 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue of such compliance.
(b)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful:
(1)    accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11, the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.11 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as described above under Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a

58



 

definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.
(d)    If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as described in Section 4.11(c), purchase all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

(d)    failure by Wynn Resorts Capital, Wynn Resorts Finance or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture not set forth in Section 6.01(c) above;
(e)    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Wynn Resorts Finance or any Guarantor (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Wynn Resorts Finance or any of the Guarantors) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee exists on the Issue Date, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $125.0 million or more, if such acceleration is not annulled within 30 days after written notice as provided in this Indenture;

60



 

(f)    failure by Wynn Resorts Capital, Wynn Resorts Finance or any Guarantor to pay final non-appealable judgments (not paid or covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has not denied responsibility) aggregating in excess of $125.0 million, which judgments are not paid, bonded, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
(g)    either Issuer or any Guarantor:

(3)    consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property,
(4)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
(5)    generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or
(h)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(1)    is for relief against either Issuer or any Guarantor in an involuntary case;
(2)    appoints a custodian of either Issuer or any Guarantor; or
(3)    orders the liquidation of either Issuer or any Guarantor;
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; provided that (i) if a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.
Section 6.02
Acceleration.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to either Issuer or any Guarantor, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of

61



 

all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
Section 6.03
Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04
Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05
Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. In addition, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06
Limitation on Suits.
Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, interest, or premium, if any, when due, a Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a)    such Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

62



 

(b)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c)    such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d)    the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(e)    during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or
instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to Wynn Resorts Finance and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by Beneficial Owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuers with such other information as the Issuers may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the Beneficial Owner of the Notes in lieu of the Depositary or its nominee.

The Trustee shall not have any obligation to check, verify or confirm any information in any Position Representation and may rely conclusively on any Position Representation delivered to it.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07
Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the

63



 

surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08
Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10
Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First:    to the Trustee, for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

64



 

Second:    to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and
Third:    to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11
Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 8.    
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 8.01
Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Issuers may, at the option of their respective Boards of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of each Issuer, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes, each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to be discharged from their obligations with respect to their Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only

70



 

for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in Sections 8.02(a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(a)    the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors released may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(g) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 9.02
With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.11 hereof), the Notes and the Note Guarantees, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

75



 

supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or by the Guarantors with any provision of the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(e)    make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(f)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes;
(g)    waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 4.11 hereof);

76



 

(h)    amend or modify any Note Guarantee in a manner that would adversely affect the holders of the Notes or release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture (except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture); or
(i)    make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.
Section 9.03
Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.04
Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.05
Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the supplemental indenture is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuers, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms.

Note Guarantee.
(a)    Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1)    the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection.

Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. Each Guarantor waives any right or claims of right to cause a marshalling of the Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s assets or to proceed against any Guarantor, any Issuer or any other guarantor of any Obligations that are Guaranteed in any particular order, including, but not limited to, any right arising out of Nevada Revised Statutes 40.430, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes 40.495(2).
(c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d)    Each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between the

78



 

Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, as the case may be, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
Section 11.02
Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, as the case may be, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 11.03
Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
Section 11.04
Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

79



 

(a)    A Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than either of the Issuers or another Guarantor, unless:
(1)    immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(2)    the Person surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture and other appropriate documents satisfactory to the Trustee.
(b)    In case of any consolidation or merger involving a Guarantor under this Section 11.04 hereof, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
(c)    Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantor is permitted to reorganize as a corporation pursuant to a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.
Section 11.05
Release of Guarantees.  
Subject to compliance with the provisions described above under this Article 11, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and the security interests granted by that Guarantor to secure its Note Guarantee will be released:
(a)    in connection with any sale, assignment, exchange, transfer conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Issuer or a Guarantor;
(b)    in connection with any sale, assignment, exchange, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Issuer or a Guarantor;

80



 

(c)    upon Legal Defeasance as provided for in Section 8.02 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided for in Section 12.01 hereof; or
(d)    upon the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor in a transaction or series of transactions that does not violate the terms of this Indenture.
Section 11.06
Additional Note Guarantees.  
Each Domestic Subsidiary of Wynn Resorts Finance that incurs or guarantees obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities or certain other capital markets debt securities (excluding any project financings in connection with Expansion Capital Expenditures) in excess of $100.0 million will guarantee the Notes and execute a supplemental indenture within 10 Business Days of such incurrence or guarantee; provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary need not become a guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary.
ARTICLE 12.    
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 12.01
Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:
(a)    either:
(1)    all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2)    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation will become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption;
(b)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

81



 

(c)    the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuers under this Indenture; and
(d)    the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 12.02
Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 13.    
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY
Section 13.01
Joint and Several Liability.
(a)    Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Indenture and the Notes, the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuers, and either of them, shall be deemed joint and several obligations of the Issuers. Any waiver including, without limitation, any suretyship waiver, made by either Issuer in this Indenture or the Notes shall be deemed to be made also by the

82



 

other Issuer and references in any such waiver to either Issuer shall be deemed to include the other Issuer and each of them to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(b)    Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Indenture or the Notes, each such document to which both Issuers are party shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the following waivers:
Each of the Issuers hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including, without limitation, (i) any right to require the Trustee or any of the Holders (each a “Beneficiary”) to proceed against either of the Issuers or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Beneficiary at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the power of a Beneficiary before proceeding against such Issuer or other Person, (ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or in any action for the collection or performance of the Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the “Note Obligations”), (iii) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any Person or the failure of a Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any Person, (iv) appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets, redemption, exemption, demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of a Beneficiary, any Issuer, any endorser, guarantor or creditor of either Issuer or on the part of any other Person under this or any other instrument or document in connection with any Obligation or evidence of Indebtedness held by a Beneficiary as collateral or in connection with the Note Obligations, (v) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Beneficiary, including, without limitation, an election to proceed by non judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of either Issuer, the right of either Issuer to proceed against the other Issuer or any other Person for reimbursement, or both, (vi) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (vii) any duty on the part of a Beneficiary to disclose to either Issuer any facts a Beneficiary may now or hereafter know about either of the Issuers or any other Person, regardless of whether a Beneficiary has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which such Issuer intends to assume, or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such Issuer, or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to the either Issuer, because each Issuer acknowledges that each Issuer is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of each of the Issuers or any other Person and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment of any Note Obligations, (viii) any defense arising because of the election of a Beneficiary, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law, (ix) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Law, (x) any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the other Issuer or any other Person that arises from the existence of performance of each Issuer of its obligations under this Indenture or the Notes, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy by a Beneficiary against the other Issuer or any collateral which a Beneficiary now has or hereafter acquires, whether

83



 

or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either of the Issuers or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights, (xi) any rights which it may acquire by way of contribution under this Indenture or the Notes, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights, and (xii) any defense based on one action laws and any other anti-deficiency protections granted to guarantors by applicable law. No failure or delay on the Trustee’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under this Indenture shall impair or waive one such power, right or privilege. Each of the Issuers acknowledges and agrees that any nonrecourse or exculpation provided for in this Indenture or the Notes, or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, limiting the Beneficiaries’ recourse to specific collateral, or limiting the Beneficiaries’ right to enforce a deficiency judgment against the Issuers, shall have absolutely no application to the Issuers’ liability under this Indenture or the Notes.
(c)    In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Article 13 and the corresponding provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1)    Interest. Wynn Resorts Finance, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Wynn Resorts Finance” ) and Wynn Resorts Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Wynn Resorts Capital,” and together with Wynn Resorts Finance, the “Issuers”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.125% per annum from September 20, 2019 until maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 1, 2020. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(2)    Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
(3)    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any

A-1-4



 

Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any Guarantor may act in any such capacity.
(4)    Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 20, 2019 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “Additional Notes.” The term “Notes” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.
(5)    Optional Redemption. The Notes are redeemable at the Issuers’ election, in whole or in part at any time prior to their Stated Maturity.
(a)    The redemption price for the Notes that are redeemed before July 1, 2029 will be equal to the greater of:
i.

(6)    Mandatory Redemption. Other than as set forth in Paragraph 7 below, the Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
(7)    Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note, each Holder, by accepting this Note, shall be deemed to have agreed that, if any Gaming Authority requires a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to be registered, licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law, such Holder or Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability in accordance with such Gaming Law and shall cooperate with the requests of any Gaming Authority for information, documentation, and/or testimony. If such Holder or Beneficial Owner (a) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (b) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, then the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to: (1) require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of: (a) the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability during such period, or (b) the receipt of the notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or (2) redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to: (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, or (b) the lesser of: (i) the principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes, in either case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to, but not including, the earlier of (A) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (B) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.
Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or Beneficial Owner may incur in connection with its registration, application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability, or any renewal or continuation of the foregoing or compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority. Those costs and expenses will be the obligations of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable. In addition, any Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable, required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws must pay all investigative fees and costs of any Gaming Authority in connection with such license, qualification, finding of suitability or application therefor.

Within 10 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 1, 2020. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
(2)    Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.

A-2-4




(3)    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any Guarantor may act in any such capacity.
(4)    Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 20, 2019 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “Additional Notes.” The term “Notes” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.
(5)    Optional Redemption. The Notes are redeemable at the Issuers’ election, in whole or in part at any time prior to their Stated Maturity.
(a)    The redemption price for the Notes that are redeemed before July 1, 2029 will be equal to the greater of:
i.
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; or
ii.
as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points,
plus, in either of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption on the Notes to be redeemed.
(b)    The redemption price for Notes that are redeemed on or after July 1, 2029 will be equal to the sum of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption on the Notes to be redeemed.
Any such redemption may, at the discretion of the Issuers, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including a Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the discretion of the Issuers, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived (provided that in no event shall such date of redemption be delayed to a date later than 60 days after the date on which such notice was mailed), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be

A-2-5





rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed.
Unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.
(6)    Mandatory Redemption. Other than as set forth in Paragraph 7 below, the Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

If such Holder or Beneficial Owner (a) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (b) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, then the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to: (1) require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of: (a) the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability during such period, or (b) the receipt of the notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or (2) redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to: (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, or (b) the lesser of: (i) the principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes, in either case, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to, but not including, the earlier of (A) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (B) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.
Neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or Beneficial Owner may incur in connection with its registration, application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability, or any renewal or continuation of the foregoing or compliance with any other requirement of a Gaming Authority. Those costs and expenses will be the obligations

A-2-6





of the Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable. In addition, any Holder or Beneficial Owner, as applicable, required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws must pay all investigative fees and costs of any Gaming Authority in connection with such license, qualification, finding of suitability or application therefor.
(8)    Repurchase at Option of Holder. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 10 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
(9)    Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be delivered at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
(10)    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.

SECTION 1.05.    Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.
(a)    Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Lender, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of extensions of credit hereunder and Obligations denominated in Alternate Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur.

SECTION 1.06.    Pro Forma Calculations.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net

-59-




Leverage Ratio, and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.06; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), or (d) of this Section 1.06, when calculating Consolidated EBITDA and the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining actual compliance (and not compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the Financial Maintenance Covenant, the events described in this Section 1.06 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.
(b)    For purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.06, then Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.06.
(c)    Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements, and synergies projected by Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken or with respect to which steps have been initiated, or are reasonably expected to be initiated, within eighteen (18) months of the closing date of such Specified Transaction (in the good faith determination of Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements, and synergies had been realized during the entirety of the applicable period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that, with respect to any such cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements, and synergies, the limitations and requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA (other than the requirement set forth in clause (c) of Consolidated EBITDA that steps have been initiated or taken) shall apply; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of additions made to Consolidated EBITDA for any Test Period pursuant to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” shall not (i) exceed 20.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period (after giving effect to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”) or (ii) duplicative of one another.
(d)    In the event that Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, prepayment, retirement, exchange or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility without a corresponding permanent reduction in the commitments with respect thereto), (i) during the applicable Test Period and/or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and on the first day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Interest on a Capital Lease shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness

-60-




that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Borrower may designate.
SECTION 1.07.    Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
SECTION 1.08.    Limited Condition Transactions. For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document which requires the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, total assets, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, or the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Default, or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, at the option of Borrower (Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens, the Limited Condition Transaction for which the proceeds will be used) (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default, ratio or basket, such representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of ratios or baskets on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of (i) any Incremental Commitments that may be incurred under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount and (ii) any Indebtedness that may be incurred under the Ratio Incurrence-Based Amount, in each case, determined at the time of signing of definitive documentation with respect to, or giving of notice with respect to, a Limited Condition Transaction may be recalculated, at the option of Borrower, at the time of funding.
SECTION 1.09.    Ratio Calculations; Negative Covenant Reclassification.
(a)    With respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of any Credit Document that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and/or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, whether or not specifically required to be determined on a Pro Forma Basis) (any such amounts (which will include any related “grower” component), the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of such Credit Document that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and/or Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, whether or not specifically required to be determined on a

-61-




Pro Forma Basis) which may include any “builder” or “grower” amount (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to such Incurrence-Based Amounts. For example, if Borrower incurs Indebtedness under clause (a), (b), or (c) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount” on the same date that it incurs Indebtedness under clause (d) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount”, then the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and any other applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under clause (d) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount” without regard to any incurrence of Indebtedness under clause (a), (b), or (c) of the definition of “Incremental Loan Amount”. If Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, delayed draw, or other committed debt facility, Borrower may elect to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Agreement and each other Credit Document on the date definitive loan documents with respect thereto are executed by all parties thereto, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, (i) unless specifically stated otherwise herein, any carve-out, basket, exclusion or exception to any affirmative, negative or other covenant in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may be used together by any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries without limitation for any purpose not prohibited hereby, and (ii) any action or event permitted by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such action or event but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. For purposes of determining compliance with Article X, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Asset Sale, disposition, fundamental change, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, contractual requirement or payment or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the “baskets” or categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause or subsection of (i) Section 10.01 (solely in the case of Indebtedness), (ii) Section 10.02 (solely in the case of Liens), (iii) Section 10.04 (solely in the case of Investments), (iv) Section 10.05 (solely in the case of Asset Sales and other dispositions), (v) Section 10.06 (solely in the case of Restricted Payments), (vi) Section 10.07 (solely in the case of Affiliate transactions), or (vii) Section 10.09 (solely in the case of payment or prepayment of Indebtedness), such transaction (or any portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such “baskets” or categories of such Section at the time of such transaction or any later time from time to time, in each case, as determined by Borrower in its sole discretion at such time and thereafter may be reclassified or divided (as if incurred at such later time) by Borrower in any manner not expressly prohibited by this Agreement, and such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Asset Sale, disposition, fundamental change, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, contractual requirement or payment or prepayment of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such “basket” or category of transactions or “baskets” or categories of transactions (or any portion thereof) of such Section without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens, Investments, Indebtedness, Asset Sales, dispositions, fundamental changes, Restricted Payments, Affiliate transactions, contractual requirements or payments or prepayments of Indebtedness, as applicable, that may be incurred pursuant to any other “basket” or category of transactions; provided that (A) all Indebtedness under this Agreement outstanding on the Closing Date shall at all times be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (a) of Section 10.01 and may not be reclassified, (B) all Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date under the Wynn Las Vegas Notes shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (e) of Section 10.01 and may not be reclassified and (C) all Indebtedness incurred on the Closing Date under the Wynn Resorts Finance Notes shall be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (v) of Section 10.01 and may not be reclassified. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.09(b) shall only permit redesignation and reclassification of “baskets” or categories within the same Section of Article X.
SECTION 1.10.    Divisions. Any reference in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to a merger, transfer, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, assignment, sale or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust shall constitute a separate Person under this Agreement and

-62-




the other Credit Documents (and each division of any limited liability company, limited partnership or trust that is a Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).
ARTICLE II.    

CREDITS
SECTION 2.01.    Loans.
(a)    Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrower in Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during, with respect to any Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender, the Revolving Availability Period applicable to such Revolving Commitment, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (without duplication) all Revolving Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time, (ii) the Revolving Exposure of such Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments in effect at such time, (iii) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of such Revolving Lender in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment of such Tranche in effect at such time, and (iv) the Revolving Tranche Exposure of all Revolving Lenders in respect of any Tranche of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche in effect at such time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the applicable Revolving Availability Period, Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow the amount of the Revolving Commitments by means of ABR Loans and LIBOR Loans.
(b)    Term A Facility Loans. Each Lender with a Term A Facility Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make a Term A Facility Loan to Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term A Facility Commitment of such Lender. Term A Facility Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(c)    LIBOR Loans. No more than twenty (20) separate Interest Periods in respect of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any one time in the aggregate under all of the facilities.
SECTION 2.02.    Borrowings. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing hereunder as provided in Section 4.05 in the form of a Notice of Borrowing; provided that, in the case of a borrowing of ABR Loans requested to be made on a same day basis, Borrower shall deliver the Notice of Borrowing no later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the day of such proposed ABR Loan (which day shall be a Business Day). Unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Noon) (or, in the case of a borrowing of ABR Loans requested to be made on a same day basis, 4:00 p.m.), New York time, on the date specified for each borrowing in Section 4.05, each Lender shall make available the amount of the Loan or Loans to be made by it on such date to Administrative Agent, at an account specified by Administrative Agent maintained at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made by each Revolving Lender pro rata based on its R/C Percentage. The amounts so received by Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower not later than 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the actual applicable Funding Date, by depositing the same by wire transfer of immediately available funds in (or, in the case of an account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, by crediting the same to) the account or accounts of Borrower or any other account or accounts in each case as directed by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.
SECTION 2.03.    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Revolving Commitments may be utilized, upon the request of Borrower, in addition to the Revolving Loans provided for by Section 2.01(a), for standby and commercial documentary letters of credit (herein collectively called “Letters of Credit”) issued by the applicable L/C Lender

-63-




(which L/C Lenders agree to the terms and provisions of this Section 2.03 in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth herein) for the account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in no event shall
(i)    the aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities, plus the aggregate principal amount of all the Revolving Loans then outstanding, exceed at any time the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time,
(ii)    the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender then outstanding, plus such Revolving Lender’s L/C Liability exceed at any time such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment as in effect at such time,
(iii)    the outstanding aggregate amount of all L/C Liabilities exceed the L/C Sublimit and, in respect of each L/C Lender, the outstanding aggregate amount of L/C Liabilities in respect of such L/C Lender exceed its L/C Sublimit,
(iv)    the Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the L/C Lender,
(v)    the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (x) the third Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect and (y) the date twelve (12) months following the date of such issuance, unless in the case of this clause (y) the Required Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date in writing (but never beyond the third Business Day prior to the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect), except for any Letter of Credit that Borrower has agreed to Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, on or prior to the third Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect, subject to the ability of Borrower to request Auto-Extension Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(b),
(vi)    any L/C Lender issue any Letter of Credit after it has received notice from Borrower or the Required Revolving Lenders stating that a Default exists until such time as such L/C Lender shall have received written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the Required Revolving Lenders, (y) waiver or cure of such Default in accordance with this Agreement or (z) Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that such Default has ceased to exist,
(vii)    any Letter of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternate Currency nor at a tenor other than sight, or
(viii)    the L/C Lender be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit, amend or modify any outstanding Letter of Credit or extend the expiry date of any outstanding Letter of Credit at any time when a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Liability cannot be reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(a) unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Lender and Borrower have been made to eliminate the L/C Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by Cash Collateralizing in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Lender to support, each such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Liability.
(b)    Whenever Borrower requires the issuance of a Letter of Credit it shall give the applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days written notice (or such shorter period of notice acceptable to the L/C Lender). Such Letter of Credit application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system agreed to by the applicable L/C Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit K or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit Request”) and shall specify a date of issuance not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect. Each Letter of Credit Request must be accompanied by documentation describing in reasonable detail

-64-




the proposed terms, conditions and format of the Letter of Credit to be issued, and if so requested by any L/C Lender each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by such L/C Lender’s form of application but which application shall not contain any operating or financial covenants or any provisions inconsistent with this Agreement. If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Lender to decline any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Lender at the time of the original issuance or automatic extension of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the third Business Day preceding the latest R/C Maturity Date then in effect (provided, that such three (3) Business Day limitation shall not apply to any Letter of Credit that Borrower has agreed to Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction prior to the extension thereof); provided, however, that the L/C Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Lender not to permit such extension. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and condition of any application, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. Each Lender hereby authorizes each L/C Lender to issue and perform its obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and each Letter of Credit shall be issued in accordance with the customary procedures of such L/C Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the failure of any L/C Lender to require an application at any time and from time to time shall not restrict or impair such L/C Lender’s right to require such an application or agreement as a condition to the issuance of any subsequent Letter of Credit.
(c)    On each day during the period commencing with the issuance by the applicable L/C Lender of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes hereof in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of the then Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus the amount of any unreimbursed drawings thereunder (the amount of such unreimbursed drawings shall be expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency). Each Revolving Lender (other than the applicable L/C Lender) severally agrees that, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire from the L/C Lender that issued such Letter of Credit, without recourse, a participation in such L/C Lender’s obligation to fund drawings and rights under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s R/C Percentage of such obligation (such obligation to fund drawings shall be expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency) and rights, and each Revolving Lender (other than such L/C Lender) thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such L/C Lender to pay and discharge when due, its R/C Percentage of such L/C Lender’s obligation to fund drawings (such obligation to fund drawings shall be expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency) under such Letter of Credit. Such L/C Lender shall be deemed to hold an L/C Liability in an amount equal to its retained interest in the related Letter of Credit after giving effect to such acquisition by the Revolving Lenders other than such L/C Lender of their participation interests.
(d)    In the event that any L/C Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Lender shall promptly notify (the “L/C Payment Notice”) Administrative Agent and Borrower of the amount paid by such L/C Lender and the date on which payment is to be made to such beneficiary. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Lender that issued such Letter of Credit in

-65-




Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency, the applicable L/C Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing following the determination thereof in accordance with Section 1.05. Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse such L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, for the amount of payment under such Letter of Credit in Dollars, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as ABR Loans as are in effect from time to time (determined based on a weighted average if multiple Tranches of Revolving Commitments are then outstanding) from the date payment was made to such beneficiary to the date on which payment is due, such payment to be made not later than the second Business Day after the date on which Borrower receives the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the third Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day). Any such payment due from Borrower and not paid on the required date shall thereafter bear interest at rates specified in Section 3.02(b) until paid. Promptly upon receipt of the amount paid by Borrower pursuant to the immediately prior sentence, the applicable L/C Lender shall notify Administrative Agent of such payment and whether or not such payment constitutes payment in full of the Reimbursement Obligation under the applicable Letter of Credit.
(e)    Promptly upon its receipt of a L/C Payment Notice referred to in Section 2.03(d), Borrower shall advise the applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent whether or not Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such L/C Lender for the amount of the related demand for payment under the applicable Letter of Credit and, if it does so intend, submit a Notice of Borrowing for such borrowing to Administrative Agent as provided in Section 4.05. In the event that Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the second Business Day after the date of the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the third Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time on a Business Day), such L/C Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such failure by Borrower to so reimburse and of the amount of the demand for payment (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency). In the event that Borrower fails to either submit a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent as provided above or reimburse such L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the second Business Day after the date of the applicable L/C Payment Notice (or the third Business Day thereafter if such L/C Payment Notice is received on a date that is not a Business Day or after 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day), Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the demand for payment (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency) including the interest therein owed by Borrower (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), specifying such Lender’s R/C Percentage thereof and requesting payment of such amount.
(f)    Each Revolving Lender (other than the applicable L/C Lender) shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of the applicable L/C Lender at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount upon not less than one Business Day’s actual notice by Administrative Agent as described in Section 2.03(e) to such Revolving Lender requesting such payment and specifying such amount. Administrative Agent will promptly remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Lender in Dollars. Each such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Lender under this Section 2.03(f), and the applicable L/C Lender’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this Section 2.03(f), (ii) the financial condition of Borrower or the existence of any Default or (iii) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to any L/C Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(g)    Upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender, through Administrative Agent, to an L/C Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(f) in respect of any Letter of Credit, such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of Administrative Agent, such L/C Lender or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such L/C Lender by Borrower hereunder and under the L/C Documents relating to such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation equal to such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage in any interest or other amounts (such interest and other amounts expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate

-66-




Currency) (other than cost reimbursements) payable by Borrower hereunder and under such L/C Documents in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation. If any L/C Lender receives directly from or for the account of Borrower any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation or any such interest or other amounts (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds of any collateral security), such L/C Lender shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender which has satisfied its obligations under Section 2.03(f), such Revolving Lender’s R/C Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such payment, each such payment by such L/C Lender to be made in Dollars. In the event any payment received by such L/C Lender and so paid to the Revolving Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by such L/C Lender, each Revolving Lender shall, upon the request of such L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent), repay to such L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Revolving Lender, with interest at the rate specified in Section 2.03(j).
(h)    Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, and with respect to each Tranche of Revolving Commitments, in respect of each Letter of Credit and each Tranche of Revolving Commitments for which such Revolving Lender has a L/C Liability, a letter of credit commission equal to (x) the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans of such Tranche made by such Revolving Lender that are LIBOR Loans in effect from time to time, multiplied by (y) the daily Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit allocable to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments of such Tranche (such Dollar Equivalent to be determined in accordance with Section 1.05) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit which expires in accordance with its terms, to and including such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit which is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to and excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated. Such commission will be non-refundable and is to be paid (1) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and (2) on each R/C Maturity Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to each L/C Lender, for such L/C Lender's account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit (whether commercial or standby) at the rate of 0.125% per annum, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, or increase thereof, on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Date in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the latest R/C Maturity Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition Borrower agrees to pay to each L/C Lender all charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by such L/C Lender, from time to time in like circumstances, with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, payment of drawings, and other transactions relating thereto.
(i)    Upon the issuance of or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower a written notice of such issuance, amendment or modification and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective amendment or modification thereto, as the case may be. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Revolving Lender a written notice regarding such issuance, amendment or modification, as the case may be, and, if so requested by a Revolving Lender, Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Revolving Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification, as the case may be.
(j)    If and to the extent that any Revolving Lender fails to pay an amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(f) or 2.03(g) on the due date therefor, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the applicable L/C Lender (through Administrative Agent) interest on such amount with respect to each Tranche of Revolving Commitments held by such Revolving Lender for each day from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as in effect from time to time) for the first three days and at the interest rate (in effect from time to time) applicable to Revolving Loans under such Tranche made by such Revolving Lender that are maintained as ABR Loans for each date thereafter. If any Revolving Lender holds Revolving Commitments of more than one Tranche and such Revolving Lender makes a partial payment of amounts due by it under Section 2.03(f) or 2.03(g), such partial payment shall be allocated pro rata to each Tranche based on the amount of Revolving Commitments of each Tranche held by such Revolving Lender.

-67-




(k)    The issuance by any L/C Lender of any amendment or modification to any Letter of Credit hereunder that would extend the expiry date or increase the Stated Amount thereof shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Section 2.03 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such amendment or modification shall be issued hereunder (i) unless either (x) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended or modified form or (y) the Required Revolving Lenders (or other specified Revolving Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04) shall have consented thereto or (ii) if the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed terms of the Letter of Credit.
(l)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no L/C Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance, (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Lender shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Lender in good faith deems material to it or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.
(m)    The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and any L/C Document to reimburse any L/C Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C Document under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Credit Document or any L/C Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any L/C Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit; or any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing;
(iv)    waiver by a L/C Lender of any requirement that exists for the L/C Lender’s protection and not the protection of Borrower or any waiver by the L/C Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice Borrower;
(v)    honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;
(vi)    any payment made by a L/C Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;
(vii)    any payment by a L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by a L/C Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-

-68-




possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(viii)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or a Guarantor.
To the extent that any provision of any L/C Document is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.03, the provisions of this Section 2.03 shall control.
(n)    On the last Business Day of each month, Borrower and each L/C Lender shall provide to Administrative Agent such information regarding the outstanding Letters of Credit as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (and in such standard electronic format as Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify), for purposes of Administrative Agent’s ongoing tracking and reporting of outstanding Letters of Credit. Administrative Agent shall maintain a record of all outstanding Letters of Credit based upon information provided by Borrower and the L/C Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.03(n), and such record of Administrative Agent shall, absent manifest error, be deemed a correct and conclusive record of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent Administrative Agent determines that there are one or more discrepancies between information provided by Borrower and any L/C Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower and such L/C Lender thereof and Borrower and such L/C Lender shall endeavor to reconcile any such discrepancy. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, with respect to commercial documentary Letters of Credit, on the first Business Day of each week the applicable L/C Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent, by facsimile or electronic mail, a report detailing the daily outstanding commercial documentary Letters of Credit for the previous week for such Letters of Credit issued in Dollars and for such Letters of Credit issued in an Alternate Currency.
(o)    Each Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Lenders, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrowers pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Lenders, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.03(m); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against a L/C Lender, and a L/C Lender may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Lender’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or such L/C Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Lenders may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Lenders shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The L/C Lenders may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

-69-




(p)    Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Lender and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Lenders shall not be responsible to Borrower for, and the L/C Lenders’ rights and remedies against Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Lenders required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.
(q)    Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(r)    A Revolving Lender may become an additional L/C Lender hereunder with the approval of Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower and such Revolving Lender, pursuant to an agreement with, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, Administrative Agent, Borrower and such Revolving Lender. Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional L/C Lender.
(s)    Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Revolving Lenders hereby agree that, as of the Closing Date, each letter of credit identified on Schedule 2.03(s) (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be a Letter of Credit as if originally issued under this Agreement by each relevant L/C Lender as set forth on Schedule 2.03(s), and that the fees and other provisions set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be applicable to each Existing Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date.
SECTION 2.04.    Termination and Reductions of Commitment.
(a)    (i)    In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.04, the aggregate amount of the Term A Facility Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the making of the Term A Facility Loans on such date).
(ii)    In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 2.04, the aggregate amount of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced by the amount of Incremental Term Loans of such Tranche made in respect thereof from time to time.
(iii)    The aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Tranche, and the L/C Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the last R/C Maturity Date.
(b)    Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time (without premium or penalty except breakage costs (if any) pursuant to Section 5.05) (i) so long as no Revolving Loans or L/C Liabilities will be outstanding as of the date specified for termination (after giving effect to all transactions occurring on such date), to terminate the Revolving Commitments in their entirety, (ii) to reduce the aggregate amount of the Unutilized R/C Commitments (which shall be pro rata among the Revolving Lenders), and (iii) so long as the remaining Total Revolving Commitments will equal or exceed the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Liabilities, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (which shall be pro rata among the Revolving Lenders); provided, however, that (x) Borrower shall give notice of each such termination or reduction as provided in Section 4.05, and (y) each

-70-




partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $5.0 million (or any whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof) or, if less, the remaining Unutilized R/C Commitments.
(c)    Any Commitment once terminated or reduced may not be reinstated.
(d)    Each reduction or termination of any of the Commitments applicable to any Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be applied ratably among the Lenders with such a Commitment, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective Commitment, as applicable.
SECTION 2.05.    Fees.
(a)    Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), with respect to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitments of each Tranche, a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date (or following the conversion of any such Revolving Commitment into another Tranche, the applicable Extension Date) to but not including the earlier of (i) the date such Revolving Commitment is terminated or expires (or is modified to constitute another Tranche) and (ii) the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Commitment, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage in respect of such Tranche in effect from time to time during such period on the actual daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s Unutilized R/C Commitment in respect of such Tranche. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the definition of “Unutilized R/C Commitments,” for purposes of determining Unutilized R/C Commitments in connection with computing commitment fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Liability of such Revolving Lender. Any accrued commitment fee under this Section 2.05(a) in respect of any Revolving Commitment shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of (i) the date the applicable Revolving Commitment is modified to constitute another Tranche and (ii) the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Commitment.
(b)    Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for its own account the administrative fee separately agreed between Administrative Agent and Borrower.
(c)    Borrower shall pay to Auction Manager for its own account, in connection with any Borrower Loan Purchase, such fees as may be agreed between Borrower and Auction Manager.
SECTION 2.06.    Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type. Each Lender may, at its option but subject to Section 5.06 as if such branch or Affiliate was deemed a “Lender” thereunder for purposes of documentation delivered to Administrative Agent and payments required to be made to Borrower thereunder, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect in any manner the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07.    Several Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and no Lender shall have any obligation to Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender. No Revolving Lender will be responsible for failure of any other Lender to fund its participation in Letters of Credit.
SECTION 2.08.    Notes; Register.
(a)    At the request of any Lender, its Loans of a particular Class shall be evidenced by a promissory note, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and otherwise duly completed, substantially in the form of Exhibits A‑1 and A‑2 of such Lender’s Revolving Loans and Term A Facility Loans, respectively; provided that any promissory notes issued in respect of New Term Loans, Other Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, New Revolving Loans, Other

-71-




Revolving Loans, or Extended Revolving Loans shall be in such form as mutually agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent.
(b)    The date, amount, Type, interest rate and duration of the Interest Period (if applicable) of each Loan of each Class made by each Lender to Borrower and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender or its registered assigns on its books and, prior to any transfer of any Note evidencing the Loans of such Class held by it, endorsed by such Lender (or its nominee) on the schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof; provided, however, that the failure of such Lender (or its nominee) to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing hereunder or under such Note.
(c)    Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as its nonfiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this Section 2.08, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the name and address of each Lender, the Commitment from time to time of each of the Lenders, the principal and interest amounts of the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive of the information noted therein (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to such Lender’s interest only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register; provided that Administrative Agent agrees to record in the Register any assignment entered into pursuant to the term hereof promptly after the effectiveness of such assignment.
SECTION 2.09.    Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans.
(a)    Subject to Section 4.04, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans (without premium or penalty), or to convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or to continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time or from time to time. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder; provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests). Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBOR Loans are prepaid or converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall), upon written notice to Borrower, have the right to suspend the right of Borrower to convert any Loan into a LIBOR Loan, or to continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans.
(b)    Application.
(i)    The amount of any optional prepayments described in Section 2.09(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans outstanding in order of amortization, in amounts and to Tranches, all as determined by Borrower.
(ii)    In addition to the foregoing, provided that Borrower shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the Financial Maintenance Covenant (whether or not then in effect) (calculated assuming all amounts offered pursuant to this clause(b)(ii) were accepted as prepayment for the Loans and applied thereto) as of the most recent Calculation Date, Borrower shall have the right to elect to offer to prepay at par the Loans pro rata to the Term A Facility Loans, the New Term Loans, the Extended Term Loans, and the Other Term Loans then outstanding and apply any amounts rejected for such prepayment to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.06 or 10.09, respectively. If Borrower makes such an election, it shall provide

-72-




notice thereof to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly, and in any event within one Business Day of receipt, provide such notice to the holders of the Term Loans. Any such notice shall specify the aggregate amount offered to prepay the Term Loans. Each holder of a Term A Facility Loan, a New Term Loan, an Other Term Loan, or an Extended Term Loan may elect, in its sole discretion, to reject such prepayment offer with respect to an amount equal to or less than (w) with respect to holders of Term A Facility Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Term A Facility Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Term A Facility Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Term A Facility Loans outstanding, (w) with respect to holders of (x) New Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay New Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of New Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of New Term Loans outstanding, (y) Other Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Other Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans outstanding, and (z) with respect to holders of Extended Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Extended Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans outstanding. Any rejection of such offer must be evidenced by written notice delivered to Administrative Agent within five Business Days of receipt of the offer for prepayment, specifying an amount of such prepayment offer rejected by such holder, if any. Failure to give such notice will constitute an election to accept such offer. Any portion of such prepayment offer so accepted will be used to prepay the Term Loans held by the applicable holders within ten Business Days of the date of receipt of the offer to prepay. Any portion of such prepayment rejected may be used by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.06 or 10.09, respectively.
SECTION 2.10.    Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows (each such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner, order and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b) below):
(i)    Casualty Events. Within five (5) Business Days after Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary receives any Net Available Proceeds from any Casualty Event or any disposition pursuant to Section 10.05(l) (or notice of collection by Administrative Agent of the same), in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds (it being understood that applications pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) shall not be duplicative of Section 2.10(a)(iii) below); provided, however, that:
(x)    if no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such proceeds is intended to be used to fund the acquisition of Property used or usable in the business of (A) if such Casualty Event relates to any Credit Party, any Credit Party or (B) if such Casualty Event relates to any other Company, any Company, or repair, replace, or restore the Property or other Property used or usable in the business (A) if such Casualty Event relates to any Credit Party, any Credit Party or (B) if such Casualty Event relates to any other Company, any Company (in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Security Document in respect of which such Casualty Event has occurred, to the extent applicable), in each case within (A) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (B) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within eighteen (18) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) six (6) months days following the date of such legally binding commitment and (2) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (provided that Borrower may elect to deem expenditures that otherwise would be permissible reinvestments that occur prior to receipt of the proceeds of a Casualty Event to have been reinvested in accordance with the provisions hereof, so long as such deemed expenditure shall have been made no earlier than the applicable Casualty Event), and

-73-




(y)    if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds not required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) is not so used within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a)(i) or otherwise, no mandatory prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) in any fiscal year until the date on which the Net Available Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) in such fiscal year shall exceed $15.0 million (and thereafter only Net Available Proceeds in excess of such amount shall be required to be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i)).
(ii)    Debt Issuance. Within five (5) Business Days after any Debt Issuance on or after the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Debt Issuance.
(iii)    Asset Sales. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c), in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Sale (it being understood that applications pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall not be duplicative of Section 2.10(a)(i) above); provided, however, that:
(x)    an amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c) shall not be required to be applied as provided above on such date if (1) no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom and (2) Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds is intended to be reinvested, directly or indirectly, in assets (which may be pursuant to an acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person that directly or indirectly owns such assets) otherwise permitted under this Agreement of (A) if such Asset Sale was effected by any Credit Party, any Credit Party, and (B) if such Asset Sale was effected by any other Company, any Company, in each case within (x) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (y) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within eighteen (18) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (A) six (6) months following the date of such legally binding commitment and (B) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); and
(y)    if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds is not reinvested in assets in accordance with the Officer’s Certificate referred to in clause (x) above within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a)(iii) or otherwise, no mandatory prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) in any fiscal year until the date on which the Net Available Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) in such fiscal year shall exceed $15.0 million (and thereafter only Net Available Proceeds in excess of such amount shall be required be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii)).
(iv)    Prepayments Not Required. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10(a), to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Available Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a) so long as applicable local law does not permit repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Proceeds

-74-




is permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or 2.10(a)(iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b). To the extent Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries would result in a material Tax liability to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any material withholding Tax), the applicable mandatory prepayment shall be reduced by the Net Available Proceeds so affected (the “Restricted Amount”) until such time as Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of the Restricted Amount may occur without incurring such material Tax liability, at which time an amount equal to any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or 2.10(a)(iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b).
(v)    Prepayments of Other First Lien Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.10(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or otherwise, any Net Available Proceeds from any such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance or Asset Sale otherwise required to be applied to prepay the Loans may, at Borrower’s option, be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness only to (and not in excess of) the extent to which a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance or Asset Sale is required under the terms of such Other First Lien Indebtedness (with any remaining Net Available Proceeds applied to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), unless such application would result in the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness receiving in excess of their pro rata share (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time) of such Net Available Proceeds relative to Lenders, in which case such Net Available Proceeds may only be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with outstanding Term Loans. To the extent the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid or prepaid with any such Net Available Proceeds, the declined amount of such Net Available Proceeds shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Net Available Proceeds would otherwise have been required to be applied if such Other First Lien Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Any such application to Other First Lien Indebtedness shall reduce any prepayments otherwise required hereunder by an equivalent amount.
(b)    Application. The amount of any mandatory prepayments described in Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans as follows:
(i)    First, to the outstanding Term Loans in order of amortization, in amounts and to Tranches, all as directed by Borrower; provided that mandatory prepayments may not be directed to a later maturing Class of Term Loans without at least pro rata repayment of any related earlier maturing Class of Term Loans;
(ii)    Second, after such time as no Term Loans or Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt remain outstanding, to prepay all outstanding Revolving Loans (in each case, without any reduction in Revolving Commitments); and
(iii)    Third, after application of prepayments in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) above, Borrower shall be permitted to retain any such remaining excess.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender holding Term Loans may elect, by written notice to Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans, pursuant to this Section 2.10. Any such amounts rejected by such Lenders shall be retained by Borrower (any such retained amounts, “Declined Amounts”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (i) deposited in the Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (with

-75-




all interest accruing thereon for the account of Borrower) or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 5.05. Notwithstanding any such deposit in the Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment.
(c)    Revolving Credit Extension Reductions. Until the final R/C Maturity Date, Borrower shall from time to time immediately prepay the Revolving Loans (and/or provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount for, or otherwise backstop (with a letter of credit on customary terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Lender and Administrative Agent), outstanding L/C Liabilities) in such amounts as shall be necessary (I) so that at all times (a) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans, plus, the aggregate outstanding L/C Liabilities shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments as in effect at such time and (b) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of any Tranche allocable to such Tranche, plus the aggregate outstanding L/C Liabilities under such Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Tranche as in effect at such time and (II) to comply with Section 7.02(a)(iii).
(d)    Outstanding Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit is outstanding on the 30th day prior to the next succeeding R/C Maturity Date which has an expiry date later than the third Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date (or which, pursuant to its terms, may be extended to a date later than the third Business Day preceding such R/C Maturity Date), then (i) if one or more Tranches of Revolving Commitments with a R/C Maturity Date after such R/C Maturity Date are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof and the commissions applicable thereto), effective as of such R/C Maturity Date, solely under (and ratably participated by Revolving Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Tranches of Revolving Commitments, if any, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time, and (ii) to the extent not capable of being reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, Borrower shall, on such 30th day (or on such later day as such Letters of Credit become incapable of being reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above due to the termination, reduction or utilization of any relevant Revolving Commitments), either (x) Cash Collateralize all such Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit (it being understood that such Cash Collateral shall be released to the extent that the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit is reduced upon the expiration or termination of such Letters of Credit, so that the Cash Collateral shall not exceed the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit outstanding at any particular time) or (y) deliver to the applicable L/C Lender a standby letter of credit (other than a Letter of Credit) in favor of such L/C Lender in a stated amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letters of Credit, which standby letter of credit shall be in form and substance, and issued by a financially sound financial institution, reasonably acceptable to such L/C Lender and Administrative Agent. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above, the occurrence of a R/C Maturity Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders of the relevant Tranche in any Letter of Credit issued before such R/C Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that upon the occurrence of any reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) above and, if necessary, the taking of the actions in described clause (ii) above, all participations in Letters of Credit under the terminated Revolving Commitments shall terminate.
SECTION 2.11.    Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), if (x) such Lender is charging Borrower increased costs pursuant to Section 5.01 or requires Borrower or any other Credit Party to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amounts to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 5.06 or such Lender becomes incapable of making LIBOR Loans as provided in Section 5.03 when other Lenders are generally able to do so, (y) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (z) such Lender is subject to Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification); provided, however, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender or Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case L/C Interests of, the Replaced Lender (or if the Replaced Lender is being replaced as a result of being a Defaulting Lender, then the

-76-




Replacement Lender shall acquire all Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender under one or more Tranches of Revolving Commitments or, at the option of Borrower and such Replacement Lender, all other Loans and Commitments held by such Defaulting Lender), (ii) at the time of any such replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by a Replacement Lender), (B) all Reimbursement Obligations (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency) owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated or acquired, as the case may be, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being assigned, as the case may be and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by a Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement, as the case may be. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, and the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans, Commitments and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment.
(b)    If any Lender is subject to a Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification), Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a) or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, in each case, in accordance with any applicable provisions of Section 2.11(a), even if a Default or an Event of Default exists (notwithstanding anything contained in such Section 2.11(a) to the contrary). Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.09 and shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis with respect to Loans of the same Tranche as the Loans held by such Lender. Notice to such Lender shall be given at least ten (10) days before the required date of transfer or prepayment (unless a shorter period is required by any Requirement of Law), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or redemption is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the Replaced Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence (unless a shorter period is required under any Requirement of Law). Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the Gaming Authority that the Lender is subject to a Disqualification, commencing on the date the Gaming Authority provides the notice of Disqualification upon to Borrower, to the extent prohibited by law: (i) such Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by the Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans.
SECTION 2.12.    Incremental Loan Commitments.
(a)    Borrower Request. Borrower may, at any time, by written notice to Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment of one or more new Tranches of Revolving Commitments (“New Revolving Commitments” and the related Revolving Loans, “New Revolving Loans”), (ii) an increase to any then-existing Tranche of Revolving Commitments (including the Closing Date Revolving Commitments) (“Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments”), (iii) the establishment of additional Term A Facility Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of existing Term A Facility Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term A Loans” and the related commitments, “Incremental Term A Loan Commitments”), and/or (iv) the establishment of one or more new Tranches

-77-




of term loans (“New Term Loans” and the related commitments, “New Term Loan Commitments”); provided, however, that (x) the aggregate amount of New Revolving Commitments, Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments, New Term Loans and Incremental Term A Loans incurred on such date shall not exceed the Incremental Loan Amount as of such date and (y) any such request for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $25.0 million and integral multiples of $1.0 million above such amount. Borrower may request Incremental Commitments from existing Lenders and from Eligible Assignees; provided, however, that (A) any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Commitments offered to it and (B) any potential Lender that is not an existing Lender and agrees to make available an Incremental Commitment shall be required to be an Eligible Assignee and shall require approval by Administrative Agent to the extent such approval would be required for an assignment to such Eligible Assignee under Section 13.05 (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b)    Incremental Effective Date. The Incremental Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement to this Agreement (the “Incremental Joinder Agreement”) executed by Borrower and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them, and delivered to Administrative Agent, subject, however, to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.12. The Incremental Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) of any Incremental Commitments and the final allocation of such Incremental Commitments. The effectiveness of any such Incremental Commitments shall be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent:
(i)    Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such Incremental Commitments;
(ii)    an Incremental Joinder Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Commitment;
(iii)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; provided that, if the proceeds of such Incremental Commitments are used primarily to fund a Limited Condition Transaction substantially concurrently upon the receipt thereof, the Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments may waive such condition (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower);
(iv)    the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that, any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such dates; provided, further, that, with respect to any Incremental Commitments the proceeds of which are being used in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction substantially concurrently upon the receipt thereof, the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitments and the funding thereof shall be (except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments) (x) the Specified Representations and (y) if applicable, the representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement relating to such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that Borrower or any of its Affiliates have the right to terminate its or their obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in such acquisition agreement;

-78-




(v)    without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to the Closing Date Revolving Facility, the final stated maturity of any New Revolving Commitments shall not be earlier than the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to the Closing Date Revolving Facility;
(vi)    other than customary “bridge” facilities (so long as the long term debt into which any such customary “bridge” facility is to be converted satisfies the requirements of this clause (vi)), without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to the Term A Facility Loans, (x) the final stated maturity of any New Term Loans shall not be earlier than the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to the Term A Facility Loans, and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term A Facility Loans (without giving effect to the effect of prepayments made under any existing Tranche of Term Loans on amortization); it being understood that, subject to the foregoing, the amortization schedule applicable to such New Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the lenders of such New Term Loans and set forth in the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement;
(vii)    the yields and interest rate margins and, except as set forth in clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.12(b), amortization schedule, applicable to any New Revolving Commitments and New Term Loans shall be as determined by Borrower and the holders of such Indebtedness;
(viii)    except as set forth in Section 2.12(a) and in clauses (i)(vii) of this Section 2.12(b), the terms (excluding maturity, amortization, pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or optional redemption provisions) of any New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans shall be (as determined by Borrower in good faith) substantially similar to the terms of the Revolving Commitments or the Term A Facility Loans, as applicable, as existing on the date of incurrence of such New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans except, to the extent such terms (x) at the option of Borrower (1) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by Borrower in good faith) or (2) are not materially more restrictive to Borrower (as determined by Borrower in good faith), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term A Facility Loans or the Revolving Facility, as the case may be (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Final Maturity Date applicable to the Term A Facility Loans or the Revolving Facility, as applicable) (it being understood that any New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans may provide for the ability to participate (i) with respect to any borrowings, voluntary prepayments or voluntary commitment reductions, on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Loans or facility and (ii) with respect to any mandatory prepayments, on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Loans (and on a greater than pro rata basis with respect to prepayments of any such New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans with the proceeds of permitted refinancing Indebtedness), or (y) are (1) added to the Term A Facility Loans or Revolving Facility, as applicable, (2) applicable only after the Final Maturity Date (in the case of term Indebtedness) or the latest R/C Maturity Date (in the case of revolving Indebtedness), or (3) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided that, in each of clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 2.12(b)(viii), if any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any New Term Loans or New Revolving Commitments that is more favorable to the Lenders under such facilities than the Financial Maintenance Covenant, then the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall be conformed to match such financial maintenance covenant (except to the extent such financial maintenance covenant applies only to periods after the Final Maturity Date (in the case of term Indebtedness) or the latest R/C Maturity Date (in the case of revolving Indebtedness)) (it being understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant or other provision is added for the benefit of any such New Revolving Commitments or New Term Loans, no consent shall be required from Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant (together with any related “equity cure” provisions) or other provision is also added for the benefit of any corresponding existing facility);
(ix)    any Incremental Term A Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term A Loan Commitments) shall have terms substantially similar to the terms of the existing Term A Facility Loans (and the existing Term Loan Commitments); provided, however, that upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Term A Loans as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and

-79-




the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Term A Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term A Loan Commitments) shall be as provided in this Section 2.12; provided, further, that the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement shall make appropriate adjustments to Section 3.01(c) to address such Incremental Term A Loans, as applicable, including such adjustments as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such Incremental Term A Loans with the existing Term A Facility Loans; and
(x)    any Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments shall have terms substantially identical to the terms of the existing Revolving Commitments of the relevant Tranche hereunder; provided, however, that upfront fees may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be as provided in this Section 2.12.
Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12, any Person providing an Incremental Commitment that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, and (i) in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Total Revolving Commitments under, and for all purpose of this Agreement, shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, (ii) any New Revolving Loans shall be deemed to be additional Revolving Loans hereunder, (iii) any Revolving Loans made under Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans of the relevant Tranche hereunder, (iv) any Incremental Term A Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term A Facility Loans hereunder and (v) any New Term Loans shall be deemed to be additional Term Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.12. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Incremental Term A Loans or New Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as Term A Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Term A Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Term A Facility Loans on the date such Incremental Term A Loans are incurred without the payment of any amounts under Section 5.05 or to include such Incremental Term A Loans ratably in each outstanding Borrowing of LIBOR Loans under the Term A Facility. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments and related Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Revolving Loans under the applicable existing Tranche of Revolving Commitments without the payment of any amounts under Section 5.05 or to include such Revolving Loans ratably in each outstanding Borrowing of LIBOR Loans under such Tranche of Revolving Commitments on the date such Revolving Loans are first incurred under such Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12 or this Agreement, if the proceeds of any Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction or similar Investment permitted hereunder and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Commitments so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality; provided, that the amount of any Incremental Commitments under the Incremental Incurrence-Based Amount determined at the time of signing of definitive documentation with respect to, or giving of notice with respect to, a Limited Condition Transaction may be recalculated, at the option of Borrower, at the time of funding.
(c)    Terms of Incremental Commitments and Loans. The yield applicable to the Incremental Revolving Commitments (and related Revolving Loans) and Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement.
(d)    Adjustment of Revolving Loans. To the extent the Revolving Commitments of a Tranche are being increased on the relevant Incremental Effective Date through Incremental Existing Tranche Revolving Commitments, then each of the Revolving Lenders having a Revolving Commitment under such Tranche prior to such Incremental Effective Date (such Revolving Lenders the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign or transfer to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment under such Tranche on the Incremental Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase

from each such Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans of such Tranche and participation interests in L/C Liabilities of such Tranche (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the related Revolving Commitments) outstanding on such Incremental Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments or transfers and purchases, such Revolving Loans of such Tranche and participation interests in L/C Liabilities of such Tranche will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments of such Tranche after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments (and after giving effect to any Revolving Loans of such Tranche made on the relevant Incremental Effective Date). Such assignments or transfers and purchases shall be made pursuant to such procedures as may be designated by Administrative Agent and shall not be required to be effectuated in accordance with Section 13.05. For the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities assigned or transferred and purchased (or re-allocated) pursuant to this Section 2.12(d) shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Post-Increase Revolving Lenders, be deemed to be Revolving Loans and participation interests in L/C Liabilities in respect of the relevant new or additional Revolving Commitments of such Tranche acquired by such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders on the relevant Incremental Effective Date and the terms of such Revolving Loans and participation interests (including, without limitation, the interest rate and maturity applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. In addition, the L/C Sublimit may be increased by an amount not to exceed the amount of any increase in Revolving Commitments with the consent of the applicable L/C Lenders that agreed to provide Letters of Credit under such increase in the L/C Sublimit and the holders of Incremental Revolving Commitments providing such increase in Revolving Commitments.
(e)    Equal and Ratable Benefit. Except in the case of any New Term Loans and New Revolving Commitments that are designated by Borrower as secured on a junior lien basis to the Obligations or unsecured, which shall be established pursuant to separate facilities, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall (i) constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents, (iii) rank pari passu in right of payment and/or with respect to security with the then-existing Tranches of Term Loans and then-existing Tranches of Revolving Loans, (iv) not be secured by any assets other than the Collateral; and (v) not be guaranteed by any person other than a Guarantor. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any Incremental Commitments or the funding of Loans thereunder. In the case of any New Term Loans and New Revolving Commitments that are designated by Borrower as secured on a junior lien basis to the Obligations, Borrower shall deliver a Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement executed by the administrative agent, collateral agent, or other representative of the lenders under such New Term Loans or New Revolving Commitments.
(f)    Incremental Joinder Agreements. An Incremental Joinder Agreement may, subject to Section 2.12(b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Sections 2.04(b)(ii) and 2.09(b)(i) to permit reductions of Tranches of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) with an R/C Maturity Date prior to the R/C Maturity Date applicable to another Tranche of Revolving Commitments without a concurrent reduction of such other Tranche of Revolving Commitments and (B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Incremental Commitments (and any Loans made in respect thereof)).
(g)    Supersede. This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.04 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.13.    Extensions of Loans and Commitments.
(a)    Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Tranche (an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be modified to constitute another Tranche of Term Loans in order to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so modified, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide

-81-




for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be substantially identical to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the amortization shall be as set forth in the Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or (B) additional or reduced fees (including prepayment or termination premiums) may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased or decreased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis, a less than a pro rata basis, or a greater than a pro rata basis in any optional prepayments of Term Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans hereunder in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, (iv) the final maturity date and the scheduled amortization applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the scheduled amortization of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall be adjusted to reflect the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Tranche that have been extended as Extended Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, and (v) the covenant set forth in Section 10.08 may be modified in a manner acceptable to Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the Final Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Term Loans, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 4.02, 4.07(b), or 13.04). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were modified.
(b)    Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Tranche (an “Existing Revolving Tranche” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “Existing Revolving Loans”) be modified to constitute another Tranche of Revolving Commitments in order to extend the termination date thereof (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so modified, “Extended Revolving Commitments” and any related Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be substantially identical to those applicable to the Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled termination date of the Extended Revolving Commitments and the related scheduled maturity date of the related Extended Revolving Loans shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Revolving Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche and/or (B) additional or reduced fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased or decreased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Applicable Fee Percentage with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the Applicable Fee Percentage for the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolving Tranche, (iv) the covenant

-82-




set forth in Section 10.08 may be modified in a manner acceptable to Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the Final Maturity Date in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment, and (v) the L/C Commitments of any L/C Lender that is providing such Extended Revolving Commitments may be extended and the L/C Sublimit may be increased, subject to clause (d) below (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Revolving Commitments, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 4.02, 4.07(b), or 13.04). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Revolving Commitments shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Sections 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to existing Revolving Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Revolving Commitments. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Tranche modified to constitute Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they were modified. If, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche, such Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitments bear to its remaining Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche.
(c)    Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Tranche are requested to respond (or such shorter period as is agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche that it has elected to modify to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in such Extension Elections. Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Extension Request upon written notice to Administrative Agent in the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request is less than the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to such Extension Request.
(d)    Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit P or Exhibit Q to this Agreement, as applicable, or, in each case, such other form as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent). Each Extension Amendment shall be executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than (A) the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, established thereby and (B) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of an L/C Lender’s obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, the consent of such L/C Lender). An Extension Amendment may, subject to Sections 2.13(a) and (b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13 (including, without limitation, (A) amendments to Section 2.04(b)(ii) and Section 2.09(b)(i) to permit reductions of Tranches of Revolving Commitments (and prepayments of the related Revolving Loans) with an R/C Maturity Date prior to the R/C Maturity Date applicable to a Tranche of Extended Revolving Commitments without a concurrent reduction of such Tranche of

-83-




Extended Revolving Commitments and (B) such other technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable).
SECTION 2.14.    Defaulting Lender Provisions.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    the L/C Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (ii) subject to Section 13.21, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim Borrower, Administrative Agent, any L/C Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that no Event of Default exists and is continuing at such time);
(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “un-reallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s L/C Liabilities cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (a) above or otherwise, Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (at the direction of any L/C Lender), (i) Cash Collateralize the obligations of Borrower to the L/C Lender in respect of such L/C Liabilities, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the un-reallocated portion of such L/C Liabilities, or (ii) make other arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and to the applicable L/C Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender;
(iii)    Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.05(a); and
(iv)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent or requested by the applicable L/C Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any L/C Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Liabilities in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate

-84-




share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Liabilities owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Liabilities owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(iv) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)    Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, each L/C Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(a)), (x) such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Exposure and L/C Liabilities of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender, and (y) all Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall thereafter be promptly returned to Borrower.
(c)    Certain Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.03(h) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that (i) to the extent that all or a portion of the L/C Liability of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14, such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such L/C Liability cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the L/C Lender except to the extent of any un-reallocated portion that is Cash Collateralized (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 4.02 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.14(c)).
SECTION 2.15.    Refinancing Amendments.
(a)    At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower may obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Loans, or Incremental Revolving Loans, or Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Loans, or Other Revolving Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under this Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $5.0 million and (y) an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof.
(b)    The effectiveness of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall, subject to the consent required pursuant to Section 2.15(d), be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent: (i) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Revolving Commitments or Other Revolving Commitments will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) being refinanced; (ii) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Term Loans will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced (determined without giving effect to any amortization or prepayments of Term Loans being refinanced)

-85-




(provided that (A) this clause (ii) shall not apply to unsecured bridge facilities allowing extensions on customary terms to a date that is no earlier than the applicable maturity date and (B) the stated maturity or Weighted Average Life to Maturity may be shorter if the stated maturity is not earlier than the earlier of (1) the stated maturity of such Indebtedness in effect prior to such refinancing or (2) 91 days after the Final Maturity Date in effect at the time of issuance); (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount so refinanced, plus, accrued interest, plus, any premium or other payment required to be paid in connection with such refinancing, plus, the amount of reasonable and customary fees and expenses of Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred in connection with such refinancing, plus, any unutilized commitments thereunder; (iv) to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, receipt by Administrative Agent and the Lenders of customary legal opinions and other documents; and (v) execution and delivery of a Refinancing Amendment by the Credit Parties and the Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness to Administrative Agent.
(c)    The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the applicable Refinancing Amendment.
(d)    Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.15, any Person providing the corresponding Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall, subject to consent of each L/C Lender to the extent such consent would be required for an assignment to such Person pursuant to Section 13.04 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) in the case of Other Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Refinancing Amendment, and (i) in the case any Other Revolving Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment, the Total Revolving Commitments under, and for all purpose of this Agreement, shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Other Revolving Commitments (net of any existing Revolving Commitments being refinanced by such Refinancing Amendment), (ii) any Other Revolving Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be additional Revolving Loans hereunder, (iii) any Other Term Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loans hereunder (to the extent funded) and (iv) any Other Term Loan Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loan Commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.15. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Other Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as Term A Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments.
(e)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Term Loan Commitments, Other Revolving Loans and/or Other Revolving Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.16.    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Certain Credit Support Events. Without limiting any other requirements herein to provide Cash Collateral, if (i) any L/C Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an extension of credit hereunder which has not been refinanced as a Revolving Loan or reimbursed, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.03(d) or (ii) Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral

-86-




pursuant to Section 11.01, Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day (in the case of clause (i) above) or immediately (in the case of clause (ii) above) following any request by Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Lender, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount.
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent, the L/C Lenders and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as Cash Collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral (including Cash Collateral provided in accordance with Sections 2.03, 2.10(d), 2.10(d), 2.14, 2.16 or 11.01) may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person prior to the right or claim of Administrative Agent or the L/C Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, Borrower will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by any Defaulting Lenders). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Administrative Agent or as otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral in accordance with the account agreement governing such deposit account.
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.03, 2.10(d), 2.10(d), 2.14 or 11.01 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Liabilities, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)    Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce un-reallocated portions or to secure other obligations shall, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable un-reallocated portion or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, the assignment of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitments to a Replacement Lender)) or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and the L/C Lenders that there exists excess Cash Collateral (which, in any event, shall exist at any time that the aggregate amount of Cash Collateral exceeds the Minimum Collateral Amount); provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Credit Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Credit Documents, and (y) Borrower and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated un-reallocated portions or other obligations.
ARTICLE III.    

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
SECTION 3.01.    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    Revolving Loans. Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Revolving Lender on each R/C Maturity Date, the entire outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loans of the applicable Tranche, and each such Revolving Loan shall mature on the R/C Maturity Date applicable to such Tranche.
(b)    Term A Facility Loans. Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders with Term A Facility Loans in repayment of the principal of such Term A Facility Loans, (i) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date), an

-87-




aggregate amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term A Facility Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for any prepayments made under Section 2.09, 2.10, 2.11(b), or 13.04(b)(B) or as provided in Section 2.12, 2.13, or 2.15), and (ii) the remaining principal amount of Term A Facility Loans on the Term A Facility Maturity Date.

Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower.

Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
(b)    Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender, specify (in accordance with Sections 2.09 and 2.10, if applicable) to Administrative Agent (which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Class and Type of Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.

(d)    If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension at the rate then borne by such principal.
SECTION 4.02.    Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing of Loans of a particular Class from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.05 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.04 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, LIBOR Loans of any Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments and Term Loan Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Revolving Loans and Term Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d), each payment or prepayment of principal of any Class of Revolving Loans or of any particular Class of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid outstanding principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (d) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d), each payment of interest on Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
SECTION 4.03.    Computations. Interest on LIBOR Loans, commitment fees and Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable and interest on ABR Loans and Reimbursement

-89-




Obligations shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable.
SECTION 4.04.    Minimum Amounts. Except for mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10 and conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.04, and Borrowings made to pay Reimbursement Obligations, each Borrowing, conversion and partial prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an amount at least equal to (a) in the case of Term Loans, $5.0 million and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining Term Loans and (b) in the case of Revolving Loans, $1.0 million and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (borrowings, conversions, or prepayments of or into Loans of different Types or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, conversions and prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period) or, if less, the remaining Revolving Loans. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount at least equal to $1.0 million and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and, if any LIBOR Loans or portions thereof would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans or portions, as the case may be, shall be ABR Loans during such period.
SECTION 4.05.    Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of Borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Loans and of Classes of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent by telephone not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time (promptly followed by written notice via facsimile or electronic mail), on at least the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified in the table below (unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests.

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount and the Class of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such Notice of Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment shall specify the Class of Loans to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 4.04) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the date of borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. In the event that Borrower fails to select the Type of Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as an ABR Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR Loan. In the event that Borrower has elected to borrow or convert Loans into LIBOR Loans but fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such LIBOR Loan shall have an Interest Period of one month.

-90-




SECTION 4.06.    Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent.
(a)    Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.
(b)    Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or L/C Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
SECTION 4.07.    Right of Setoff, Sharing of Payments; Etc.
(a)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), subject to obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of such Credit Party at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Credit Party), in which case it shall promptly notify such Credit Party thereof; provided, however, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof; and provided further that no such right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim shall apply to any funds held for further distribution to any Governmental Authority.
(b)    Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive (other than pursuant to Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Article V, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d) or as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Commitment Letter) any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents (including any guarantee), or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or fees, the sum of which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amounts then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amounts then owed and due to all of the Lenders

-91-




immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower consents to the foregoing arrangements.
(c)    Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such participation may exercise all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Credit Party. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, each L/C Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
ARTICLE V.    

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
SECTION 5.01.    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of Credit or any Lender’s participation therein, any L/C Document or any Loan made by it, or any deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (except for any Covered Taxes or Excluded Taxes);
(ii)    impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender, in each case, that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to such Lender or L/C Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans) or issuing, maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (or maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), then, in any such case, Borrower shall, within 10 days of written demand therefor, pay such Lender or L/C Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Lender for such increased cost; provided that requests for additional compensation due to increased costs shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market and for which it is the general policy or practice of such requesting Lender to demand

-92-




such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other similar agreements. If any Lender or L/C Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrower, through Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    A certificate as to any additional amounts setting forth the calculation of such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.01 submitted by such Lender or L/C Lender, through Administrative Agent, to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this Section 5.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other Obligations payable hereunder.
(c)    In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or the Lender’s holding company with regard to capital or liquidity requirements, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, the Commitments of such Lender, the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender and the basis for such request), Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that requests for additional compensation due to increased costs shall be limited to circumstances generally affecting the banking market and for which it is the general policy or practice of such requesting Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other similar agreements.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs incurred or reductions suffered and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 5.02.    Inability To Determine Interest Rate.
(a)     If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (i) Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Base Rate for such Interest Period, (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that Dollar deposits are not available in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period available to the Required Lenders in the London interbank market, or (iii) the Required Lenders determine in good faith that the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loans (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), Administrative Agent shall give electronic mail or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereof. If such notice is given, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans, or if Borrower does not make such revocation, (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be converted to, or continued as, ABR Loans, and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent (which Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist), no further LIBOR Loans shall be made, or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are Impacted Loans as provided above, Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans (to the extent

-93-




Borrower does not elect to maintain such Impacted Loans as ABR Loans) until (1) Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans (which Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to Impacted Loans cease to exist), (2) Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof.
(c)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans, (A) Borrower and Administrative Agent reasonably determine in good faith that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Base Rate or LIBOR, as applicable, for such Interest Period and that (i) such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) such circumstances have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans or (B) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 5.02(c), are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, then Administrative Agent and Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin) to this Agreement as may be applicable which shall include the spread or method for determining a spread or other adjustments or modifications that are generally accepted as the then prevailing market convention for determining such spread, method, adjustment, or modification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.04, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date that such amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c), (x) any Notice of Borrowing that requests the conversion of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a LIBOR Loan, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Loan; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.03.    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans or issue Letters of Credit shall be suspended until such time as such Lender or L/C Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans or issue Letters of Credit (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).
SECTION 5.04.    Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to continue, or to convert ABR Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.03, such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBOR Loans (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent as is required by law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and

-94-




(ii)    all Loans which would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans and all ABR Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans are outstanding, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION 5.05.    Compensation.
(a)    Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (excluding any loss of profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (1) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, (2) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) Borrower making any prepayment other than on the date specified in the relevant prepayment notice, or (4) the conversion or the making of a payment or a prepayment (including any repayments or prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 or as a result of an acceleration of Loans pursuant to Section 11.01 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 or 13.04(b)) of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including in each case, any such loss (excluding any loss of profits or margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that no such amounts under this Section 5.05(a) shall be payable by Borrower in connection with any termination in accordance with Section 2.12(b) of any Interest Period of one month or shorter.
(b)    For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 5.05 each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBO Base Rate in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 5.05 will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 5.06.    Net Payments.
(a)    All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding of any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws require the deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of any such payment by Administrative Agent, a Credit Party or any other applicable withholding agent, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the applicable withholding agent to be required, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Covered Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions are made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.06), the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to Administrative Agent for its own account, Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes by a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.06 documentation reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such payment by the applicable Credit Party. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Administrative

-95-




Agent and each Lender, and reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) upon its written request, for the amount of any Covered Taxes payable or paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 5.06) and for any other reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally imposed, other than any interest or penalties that are determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such written request shall include a certificate of such Lender or Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive.
(b)    In addition, Borrower agrees to (and shall timely) pay all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made under or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement filing, recordation or registration of, receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by Borrower under Section 2.11(a)) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c)    (%4)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.06(c)(ii) and (c)(iv) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(c), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(ii)    Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees to the extent it is legally eligible to do so to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, and from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax; (2) two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a CFC related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no interest payments in connection with any Credit Documents are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where such Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s). Any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date

-96-




on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other documentation prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, if any.
(iii)    Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, and from time to time upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9, or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States federal backup withholding.
(iv)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, and to determine the amount to deduct and withhold, if any, from such payment. For purposes of this Section 5.06(c)(iv), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(v)    Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.06(c), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.06(c).
(d)    On or before the date Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, if Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Otherwise, Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person) shall deliver two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (for all other payments) certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of Lenders are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Credit Parties to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Credit Parties and Administrative Agent agree to so treat Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(d), Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation that Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver as a result of a Change in Law after the Closing Date.
(e)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.6, such Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(f)    Any Lender requiring Borrower or any other Credit Party to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amounts to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use (at the Credit Parties’ expense) reasonable efforts, if requested by Borrower, (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment

-97-




of such Lender, the making of such change would avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g)    If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a cash refund in respect of an overpayment of Taxes from a Governmental Authority with respect to, and actually resulting from, an amount of Taxes actually paid to or on behalf of Administrative Agent or such Lender by Borrower or any other Credit Party, then Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrower of such refund and forward the proceeds of such refund (or relevant portion thereof) to Borrower as reduced by any reasonable expense or liability incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with obtaining such refund (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund); provided, however, that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.06(g) shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(g), in no event will Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.06(g) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
(h)    For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.06, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
ARTICLE VI.    

GUARANTEES

-98-




SECTION 6.01.    The Guarantees. Each (a) Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs, expenses, or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law after the filing of any bankruptcy or insolvency petition) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and (b) Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all other Obligations (including any interest, fees, costs, expenses or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Law after the filing of any bankruptcy or insolvency petition) from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Credit Party under any Credit Document, any Credit Swap Contract entered into with a Swap Provider or any Secured Cash Management Agreement entered into with a Cash Management Bank, in each case now or hereinafter created, incurred or made, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated and strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that (i) the obligations guaranteed shall exclude obligations under any Swap Contract or Cash Management Agreements with respect to which the applicable Swap Provider or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, provides notice to Borrower that it does not want such Swap Contract or Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, to be secured, and (ii) as to each Guarantor the obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations in respect of such Guarantor (such obligations being guaranteed pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations” (it being understood that the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall be limited to those referred to in clause (b) above and the Guaranteed Obligations of each other Guarantor shall not include any Obligations with respect to which such Guarantor is the primary obligor)). Each Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby agrees that if any other Credit Party shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Credit Party will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
SECTION 6.02.    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 6.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for Payment in Full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any of the Credit Parties with respect to its respective guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(iii)    the release of any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 6.08;
(iv)    any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Credit Documents;

-99-




(v)    any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vi)    any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations;
(vii)    the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;
(viii)    any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Credit Party would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Credit Party hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Credit Party as a surety under applicable law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2939, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2855, 2899, and 3433, and in the event that Nevada law applies to this Agreement or any portion hereof, Guarantors, and each of them, hereby waive the provisions of Section 40.430 of the Nevada Revised Statutes; or
(ix)    any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Credit Party as a guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Credit Party as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Credit Party under the guarantee contained in this Article VI or of any security interest granted by any Credit Party in its capacity as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law, or in any other instance.
The Credit Parties hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, marshaling and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Credit Party under this Agreement, the Notes, the Credit Swap Contracts or the Secured Cash Management Agreements or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Credit Parties waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party thereof upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Credit Party or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Credit Parties and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and

-100-




assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall permit amendments to the Credit Documents or an acceleration of the Obligations other than as set forth in the Credit Documents.

-101-




SECTION 6.03.    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article VI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or avoided or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission, avoidance or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach by, such Secured Party.
SECTION 6.04.    Subrogation; Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 6.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Credit Party now or hereafter owing to any Credit Party by reason of any payment by such Credit Party under the Guarantee in this Article VI is hereby subordinated to the prior Payment in Full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any other Credit Party to such Credit Party until the Obligations shall have been Paid in Full in cash. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amounts are paid to the Credit Parties in violation of the foregoing limitation, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions of the guaranty contained herein.
SECTION 6.05.    Remedies. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that, as between the Credit Parties and the Lenders, the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article XI (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article XI) for purposes of Section 6.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable arising under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other law providing for protection from creditors) as against such other Credit Parties and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the other Credit Parties for purposes of Section 6.01.
SECTION 6.06.    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VI is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 6.07.    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Credit Party under Section 6.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Credit Party, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
SECTION 6.08.    Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, (i) the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred such that such Guarantor no longer constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of which is Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor or Excluded Subsidiary, as applicable, upon the consummation of such sale, transfer or designation or such Person becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be automatically

-102-




released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 13.03 hereof) and the other Credit Documents, and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document, and the pledge of Equity Interests in any Transferred Guarantor or any Unrestricted Subsidiary to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect and evidence each release described in this Section 6.08 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents and this Agreement.
SECTION 6.09.    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 6.09 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.09, or otherwise under the Guarantee, as it relates to such Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 6.09 constitute, and this Section 6.09 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
SECTION 6.10.    Right of Contribution. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that to the extent that a Credit Party (a “Funding Credit Party”) shall have paid more than its Fair Share (as defined below) of any payment made hereunder, such Credit Party shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Credit Party hereunder which has not paid its Fair Share of such payment. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.04. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Secured Parties, and each Credit Party shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Credit Party hereunder. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (A) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Credit Party to (B) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Credit Parties multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Credit Parties under this Article VI in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Credit Party under this Article VI; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Credit Party for purposes of this Section 6.10, any assets or liabilities of such Credit Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Credit Party. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Credit Party.

(i)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such Designation;

SECTION 9.13.    Limitation on Designation of Immaterial Subsidiaries.
(a)    If for any reason the aggregate fair market value of the assets of all the Immaterial Subsidiaries exceeds the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount, then, promptly after the occurrence of such event that causes the aggregate fair market value of all Immaterial Subsidiaries to exceed the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount, Borrower shall designate (an “Excluded Designation”) one or more Immaterial Subsidiaries as no longer constituting Immaterial Subsidiaries for all purposes of this Agreement (an “Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary”) as may be necessary to ensure that the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount is satisfied. Borrower may redesignate (a “Redesignation”) an Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary as constituting an Immaterial Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement so long as such redesignated Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary is in compliance with the requirements of the definition of Immaterial Subsidiary and such Redesignation does not cause or otherwise result in the aggregate fair market value of the assets of all Immaterial Subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Redesignation of the Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary as an Immaterial Subsidiary) to exceed the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount. For purposes of this Section 9.13(a), fair market value shall be determined as of the most recent Calculation Date.
(b)    Any such Excluded Designation or Redesignation must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower delivered to Administrative Agent with the Responsible Officer executing such certificate certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions of Section 9.13(a).

ARTICLE XII.    

AGENTS
SECTION 12.01.    Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints DB to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including pursuant to regulatory requirements of any Gaming Authority consistent with the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. DB is hereby appointed Auction Manager hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Auction Manager to act as its agent in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents; provided, that Borrower shall have the right to select and appoint a replacement Auction Manager from time to time by written notice to Administrative Agent, and any such replacement shall also be so authorized to act in such capacity. Each Lender agrees that the Auction Manager shall have solely the obligations in its capacity as the Auction Manager as are specifically described in this Agreement and shall be entitled

-145-




to the benefits of Article XII, as applicable. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Agents (other than Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Auction Manager) to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article XII, except to the extent set forth in this Section 12.01, Section 12.06 and Section 12.07(b). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 12.02.    Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer (i) acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such Person and its Affiliates may have interests that differ from those of such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, and (ii) agrees that it will not assert any claim against Administrative Agent or its Affiliates based on an alleged conflict of interest of such Person in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 12.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:
(a)    shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties with respect to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)    shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 13.04) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender.
No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any

-146-




certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or (vi) any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is (i) a Disqualified ‎Lender, (ii) a Person subject to Disqualification or (iii) a Net Short Lender and (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to (i) any ‎Disqualified Lender, (ii) a Person subject to Disqualification or (iii) a Net Short Lender. Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.
SECTION 12.04.    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 12.05.    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XII shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that an Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
SECTION 12.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
(a)    Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of their resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing) to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent gives notice of their resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and Borrower (unless an Event of Default

-147-




specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing)) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.06(c)). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article XII and Section 13.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, their sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.
(d)    Any resignation by DB as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.06(d) shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Lender. If DB resigns as an L/C Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Lender hereunder with respect to all of its Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Lender and all L/C Liability with respect thereto, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Sections 2.03(e) and (f). Upon the appointment by Borrower of a successor L/C Lender hereunder and such successor’s acceptance of such appointment (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit of the retiring L/C Lender, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

-148-




(e)    To the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws or the conditions of any Gaming Approval, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall notify the applicable Gaming Authorities of any change in Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. Borrower shall provide advice and assistance to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in making such notifications.
SECTION 12.07.    Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders.
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
(b)    Each Lender acknowledges that in connection with Borrower Loan Purchases, (i) Borrower may purchase or acquire Term Loans or Revolving Loans hereunder from the Lenders from time to time, subject to the restrictions set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee” and in Section 13.05(d), (ii) Borrower currently may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding such Term Loans or Revolving Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to enter into an assignment of such Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (iii) such Lender has independently and without reliance on any other party made such Lender’s own analysis and determined to enter into an assignment of such Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (iv) Borrower shall have no liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against Borrower, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information; provided, however, that the Excluded Information shall not and does not affect the truth or accuracy of the representations or warranties of Borrower in the “Standard Terms and Conditions” set forth in the applicable assignment agreement. Each Lender further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to Administrative Agent, Auction Manager or the other Lenders hereunder.
SECTION 12.08.    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such ratably according with its “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders at such time or, if the Commitments have terminated and all Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such termination and repayment (with such “percentages” to be determined as if there are no Defaulting Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) resulting primarily from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (y) relating to or arising out of the Commitment Letter. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.08 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.
SECTION 12.09.    No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or Lead Arrangers shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, an L/C Lender, the Auction Manager or a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 12.10.    Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
SECTION 12.11.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Liability shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on 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, L/C Liabilities 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 Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 13.03) 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;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 13.03.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.
SECTION 12.12.    Collateral Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to hold and enforce the Liens on the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent to take the actions set forth in Section 13.04(g). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to Section 13.04(g).
(b)    Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders, the other Secured Parties or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Security Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in Section 12.01 or in this Section 12.12 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any act,

-150-




omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral or any part thereof as one of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
SECTION 12.13.    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender, an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.06, each Lender shall, indemnify the relevant Administrative Agent (to the extent that Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against all Taxes and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Security Document against any amount due Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.13, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Lender.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.02, Article VI or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Credit Swap Contracts unless Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Swap Provider, as the case may be.

(iii)    Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable but without duplication, for all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, assessments and other charges (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Credit Document or any other document referred to therein.
Without limiting the rights of any Agent under this Section 13.03(a), each Agent, promptly after a request of Borrower from time to time, will advise Borrower of an estimate of any amount anticipated to be incurred by such Agent and reimbursed by Borrower under this Section 13.03(a).
(b)    The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates and their and their respective affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives, advisors, partners and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly arising out of or by reason of or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of any Credit Document, any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the Transactions), any breach by any Credit Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in any Credit Document in connection with any of the Transactions, the use or proposed use of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the issuance of or performance

-154-




under any Letter of Credit or, the use of any collateral security for the Obligations (including the exercise by any Agent or Lender of the rights and remedies or any power of attorney with respect thereto or any action or inaction in respect thereof), including all amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.08 (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel for each group of similarly affected Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction)), but excluding (i) any such Losses relating to matters referred to in Sections 5.01 or 5.06 (which shall be the sole remedy in respect of matters referred to therein), (ii) any such Losses arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnified Persons (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (iii) any such Losses relating to any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by any Company (other than any claims against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any other agent or bookrunner named on the cover page hereto or any L/C Lender, in each case, acting in such capacities or fulfilling such roles); provided, however, this Section 13.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. For purposes of this Section 13.03(b), a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnitee means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person involved in the performance of the Indemnitee’s obligations under the facilities.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence.
To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder). No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising

-155-




from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 13.04.    Amendments and Waiver.
(a)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, modified, changed or waived, unless such amendment, modification, change or waiver is in writing signed by each of the Credit Parties that is party thereto and the Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders); provided that no such amendment, modification, change or waiver shall (and any such amendment, modification, change or waiver set forth below in clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 13.04(a) shall only require the approval of the Agents and/or Lenders whose consent is required therefor pursuant to such clauses):
(i)    extend the date for any scheduled payment of principal on any Loan or Note or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond any R/C Maturity Date (unless such Letter of Credit is required to be cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to Administrative Agent’s and applicable L/C Lender’s reasonable satisfaction or the participations therein are required to be assumed by Lenders that have Revolving Commitments which extend beyond such R/C Maturity Date) or extend the termination date of any of the Commitments, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or fees thereon, or forgive or reduce the principal amount thereof, without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any Default or Event of Default or of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans or mandatory reduction in Commitments shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or an extension or increase of any Commitment and any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction);
(ii)    release (x) all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as provided in the Security Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guarantees (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), without the consent of each Lender;

(iv)    (x) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Required Tranche Lenders or otherwise amend the definition of Required Lenders or Required Tranche Lenders without the consent of each Lender or (y) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Revolving Lenders or otherwise amend the definition of Required Revolving Lenders without the consent of each Revolving Lender (provided that, (x) no such consent shall be required for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Loans), and (y) with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit (including Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Loans) pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the

-156-




determination of the Required Lenders, Required Tranche Lenders and/or Required Revolving Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date);
(v)    amend, modify, change, or waive Section 4.02 or 4.07(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit (including Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Loans) pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, as applicable);
(vi)    impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender under a Tranche to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders for such Tranche; or
(vii)    amend, modify, change or waive any provision in Section 7.02 or waive any Default or Event of Default (or amend any Credit Document to effectively waive any Default or Event of Default), excluding any general waiver of any Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders (as opposed to a waive only for the purpose of making such extension of credit), if the effect of such amendment, modification, change or waiver would require Lenders under a Tranche to fund its Loans when such Lenders would otherwise not be required to do so, without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders for such Tranche;
provided, further, that no such amendment, modification, change or waiver shall (A) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or Total Revolving Commitments or a waiver of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), (B) without the consent of each L/C Lender, amend, modify, change or waive any provision of Section 2.03 or alter such L/C Lender’s rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (C) without the consent of any applicable Agent, amend, modify, change or waive any provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent, (D) amend, modify, change or waive Section 2.10(b) in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of prepayments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Tranche differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Tranche without the prior written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders of each adversely affected Tranche (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders required above in this Section 13.04(a)) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Loans) so that such additional extensions may share in the application of prepayments (or commitment reductions) with any Tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable); provided, however, the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Tranches, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered or (E) amend or modify the definition of “Alternate Currency” or Section 1.05 without the prior written consent of all the Revolving Lenders (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders required above in this Section 13.04(a)). 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 (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (y) the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be reduced or forgiven (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), nor shall the date for any scheduled payment of any such amounts be postponed, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (y), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction) and (z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (other than in the case of a consent by Administrative Agent to permit Borrower and its Subsidiaries

-157-




to purchase Revolving Commitments (and Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto) of Defaulting Lenders in excess of the amount permitted pursuant to Section 13.04(h)).
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitment Letter may only be amended or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof.
(b)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the consent of the Required Lenders (or in the case of a proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver affecting a particular Class or Tranche, the Lenders holding a majority of the Loans and Commitments with respect to such Class or Tranche) is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either:
(A)    replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of Borrower, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Classes or Tranches of Commitments and/or Loans of such non-consenting Lender with respect to which such Lender’s individual consent is required (such Classes or Tranches, the “Affected Classes”)) with one or more Replacement Lenders, so long as, at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver; provided, further, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case L/C Interests of, the Replaced Lender (or, at the option of Borrower if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Classes or Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), the Commitments, outstanding Loans and L/C Interests of the Affected Classes), (ii) at the time of any replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by the Replacement Lender), (B) all Reimbursement Obligations (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in the Alternate Currency) owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being acquired and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees and other amounts owing to the Lender with respect to the Loans being so assigned and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by the Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above, as applicable, and the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans, Commitments and L/C Interests of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment; or
(B)    terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay Loans held by such Lender (or, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans, the Commitment and Loans of the Affected Class) and, if applicable, Cash Collateralize its applicable R/C Percentage of the L/C Liability, in either case, upon three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as

-158-




is acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Principal Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Any such prepayment of the Loans or termination of the Commitments of such Lender shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) (or if the applicable consent requires approval of all Lenders of a particular Tranche but not all Lenders, then Borrower shall terminate all Commitments and/or repay all Loans, in each case together with payment of all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) under such Tranche), so long as (i) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), (A) the Revolving Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment and (B) such Lender’s R/C Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is Cash Collateralized or backstopped by Borrower in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the L/C Lenders. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), such Loans repaid or acquired pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided; that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 or Article IV)), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.
(c)    Administrative Agent and Borrower may (without the consent of Lenders) amend any Credit Document to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Term Loans, Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Credit Document. In addition, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). Administrative Agent and Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the terms of any Refinancing Amendment. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Loans and/or Commitments extended pursuant to Section 2.13 or incurred pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with Section 2.13, 2.12, or 2.15.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit 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 Credit Documents with the Term Loans (or any Tranche thereof in the case of additional Term Loans) and the Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments (or any Tranche of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments in the case of additional Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments) and 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, Required Tranche Lenders, and/or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented, or modified pursuant to an agreement

or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender, unless the Required Lenders shall have objected within such five (5) Business Day period) solely to effect administrative changes or to correct administrative errors or omissions or to cure an ambiguity, defect or error (including, without limitation, to revise the legal description of any Mortgaged Real Property based on surveys), or to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property or to make modifications which are not materially adverse to the Lenders and are requested or required by Gaming Authorities or Gaming Laws and (ii) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented, or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) to permit any changes requested or required by any Governmental Authority that are not materially adverse to the Lenders (including any changes relating to qualifications as a permitted holder of debt, licensing or limits on Property that may be pledged as Collateral or available remedies). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) additional extensions of credit consented to by Required Lenders shall be permitted hereunder on a ratable basis with the existing Loans (including as to proceeds of, and sharing in the benefits of, Collateral and sharing of prepayments), (B) Collateral Agent shall enter into the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(i)(D) and 10.01(t)(i)(E), as applicable (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(i)(D) and 10.01(t)(i)(E))), and (C) Collateral Agent shall enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(i)(D) and 10.01(t)(i)(E) (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or Ratio Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(t)(i)(D) and 10.01(t)(i)(E))).
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the applicable Credit Party or Credit Parties and Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, without the consent of any other Person, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law or to release any Collateral which is not required under the Security Documents.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall (A) release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations (other than (x) obligations under any Swap Contracts as to which acceptable arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the relevant counterparties and (y) Cash Management Agreements not yet due and payable), (ii) upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral to the extent required pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 10.05 (and Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to any Person other than a Credit Party, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04(a)), (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.08, (v) constituting Equity Interests in or property of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) subject to Liens permitted under Sections 10.02(i) or 10.02(k), in each case, to the extent the documents governing such Liens do not permit such Collateral to secure the Obligations, or (vii) as otherwise may be provided herein or in the relevant Security Documents, and (B) consent to and enter into (and execute documents permitting the filing and recording, where appropriate) the grant of easements and covenants and subordination rights with respect to real property, conditions, restrictions and declarations on customary terms, and subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements on customary terms reasonably requested by Borrower with respect to leases entered into by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent requested by Borrower and not materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders.
(d)    If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower shall have the right to terminate such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and repay the Loans related thereto as provided below so long as Borrower Cash

-160-




Collateralizes or backstops such Defaulting Lender’s applicable R/C Percentage of the L/C Liability to the reasonable satisfaction of the L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent; provided that such terminations of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed 20% of the sum of (x) the initial aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments on the Closing Date plus (y) the initial aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Commitments incurred after the Closing Date and prior to such date of determination; provided, further, that Borrower and its Subsidiaries may terminate additional Revolving Commitments of Defaulting Lenders and repay the Loans related thereto pursuant to this Section 13.04(h) with the consent of Administrative Agent. At the time of any such termination and/or repayment, and as a condition thereto, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender provided pursuant to such Revolving Commitments, (B) all Reimbursement Obligations (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency) owing to such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, in the event Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments owing to such Lender are being repaid and terminated or acquired, as the case may be, and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being so repaid, as the case may be and all other obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being terminated or repaid) shall be paid in full to such Defaulting Lender concurrently with such termination. At such time, unless the respective Lender continues to have outstanding Loans or Commitments hereunder, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4.02, 5.01, 5.03, 5.05, 5.06 and 13.03), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(h), such Loans repaid pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided; that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Article IV) for any purpose hereunder), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Tranche Lenders, as applicable, have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Credit Document, or (C) directed or required Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, any Lender (other than (x) any Lender that is a Regulated Bank and (y) any Lender as of the Closing Date (each, an “Excluded Lender”)) that, as a result of its interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”), shall not, without the consent of Borrower, have any right to vote any of its Loans and Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders. For purposes of determining whether a Lender (other than an Excluded Lender) has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Loans and Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars, (ii) the notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any of Borrower or other Credit Parties or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of Borrower or other Credit Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender or its Affiliates and (y) Borrower and the other Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of Borrower or other Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than five percent (5%) of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions

-161-




or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivative Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Loans or the Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Loans or the Commitments would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction, or (z) any of Borrower or other Credit Parties (or its successor) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transaction, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender protection in respect of the Loans or the Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any of Borrower or other Credit Parties other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) Borrower and other Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of Borrower or other Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than five percent (5%) of the components of such index. In connection with any such determination, each Lender (other than an Excluded Lender) shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to Borrower and Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that Borrower and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation).
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, Borrower and Administrative Agent may enter into any amendment, waiver, consent or supplement to this Agreement and such other related changes (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin) to this Agreement as may be applicable to amend the definition of “LIBO Base Rate” with the consents, if any, and in the manner, as set forth in Section 5.02(c).
SECTION 13.05.    Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.
(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations, or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign, or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans, or related Obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 13.05(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, assign or grant any participation (w) to a natural person, (x) to a Person that is a Disqualified Lender as of the applicable Trade Date (unless consented to by Borrower), (y) any Person that is subject to a Disqualification, or (z) under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the date for any scheduled payment on, or the final scheduled maturity of, any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond any applicable R/C Maturity Date (unless such Letter of Credit is required to be cash collateralized or otherwise backstopped (with a letter of credit on customary terms) to the applicable L/C Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction or the participations therein are required to be assumed by Lenders that have commitments which extend beyond such R/C Maturity Date)) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or Total Revolving Commitments or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of

-162-




any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or other Credit Document to which it is a party, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (a), Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01 and 5.06 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Sections 5.06(c), (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 5.06(c) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.06 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the entitlement to a greater payment results from any change in applicable Laws after the date the participant became a participant.
(b)    No Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Loans and Obligations) hereunder, except to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee) without the consent of Administrative Agent and in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, the consent of each L/C Lender (provided that neither the consent of Administrative Agent nor of any L/C Lender shall be required for any assignment between Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC) and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (x) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it, the aggregate amount of the Commitments or Loans subject to such assignment shall not be less than $5.0 million; (y) no such consent of Borrower shall be necessary in the case of (i) an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments by a Revolving Lender to another Revolving Lender, (ii) an assignment of Term A Facility Loans by a Term A Facility Lender to another Term A Facility Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Term A Facility Lender, (iii) an assignment of Term Loans (other than a Term A Facility Loan) by a Lender of Term Loans to another Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, or (iv) any assignment between Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, and (z) Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, no assignment will be permitted to any Lender that will result in such Lender holding, collectively with its Affiliates (including any Person deemed to be an Affiliate for purposes of sub-clause (x)(ii)(B) above), Loans and Commitments having an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, or greater, without the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after a Responsible Officer has received notice thereof. Each assignee shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided that (I) Administrative Agent

-163-




shall, unless it otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (II) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.08, and (III) such assignments may be made on a pro rata basis among Commitments and/or Loans (and related Obligations). To the extent of any assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 13.05(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans (provided that such assignment shall not release such Lender of any claims or liabilities that may exist against such Lender at the time of such assignment). At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.05(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally eligible to do so, provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms and other information as described in Sections 5.06(b) and 5.06(d), as applicable. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.11, 13.04(b)(B), or this Section 13.05(b) would, under the laws in effect at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 5.01 or 5.03 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from Changes in Law after the date of the respective assignment).
(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment of a security interest to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority. No pledge pursuant to this Section 13.05(c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or permit the pledgee to become a lender hereunder without otherwise complying with Section 13.05(b).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.05 or any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower and its Subsidiaries may, but shall not be required to, purchase (x) outstanding Loans pursuant to the Auction Procedures established for each such purchase in an auction managed by Auction Manager and (y) outstanding Term Loans through open market purchases, subject solely to the following conditions:
(i)    (x) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase pursuant to the Auction Procedures, at the time of the applicable Purchase Notice (as defined in Exhibit N), no Event of Default under Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(b) or, with respect to Borrower, Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (y) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated through an open market purchase, at the Trade Date of the applicable assignment, no Event of Default under Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(b) or, with respect to Borrower, Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;
(ii)    immediately upon any Borrower Loan Purchase, the Loans purchased pursuant thereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned, or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided; that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Article IV) for any purpose hereunder), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;
(iii)    with respect to each Borrower Loan Purchase, Administrative Agent shall receive (x) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to the Auction Procedures, a fully executed and completed Borrower Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment thereof, and (y) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to an open market purchase, a fully executed and completed Open Market Assignment and Assumption Agreement effecting the assignment thereof;

-164-




(iv)    with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase of Revolving Loans under any Revolving Facility (x) there shall occur a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments of each applicable Revolving Lender and (y) after giving effect to such Borrower Loan Purchase, there shall be sufficient aggregate Revolving Commitments among the Revolving Lenders to apply to the aggregate amount of L/C Liabilities outstanding as of such date, unless Borrower shall concurrently with the payment of the purchase price by Borrower for such Revolving Loans, deposit cash collateral in an account with Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.16 in the amount of any such excess L/C Liabilities;
(v)    Borrower may not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loan to fund the purchase of outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 13.05(d); and
(vi)    neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to represent or warrant that they are not in possession of non-public information with respect to Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any purchase permitted by this Section 13.05(d).
The assignment fee set forth in Section 13.05(b) shall not be applicable to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated pursuant to this Section 13.05(d).
(e)    Each Lender who is an Affiliate of Borrower (excluding (x) Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (y) any Debt Fund Affiliate Lenders) (each, an “Affiliate Lender”; it being understood that (x) neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries may be Affiliate Lenders and (y) Debt Fund Affiliate Lenders and Affiliate Lenders may be lenders in accordance with this Section 13.05 subject, in the case of Affiliate Lenders, to this Section 13.05(e) and Section 13.05(f)), in connection with any (i) consent (or decision not to consent) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Credit Document, (ii) other action on any matter related to any Credit Document or (iii) direction to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Credit Document, agrees that, except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action (1) described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 13.04(a) or (2) that adversely affects such Affiliate Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to other Lenders, such Affiliate Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders. Each Affiliate Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliate Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliate Lender and in the name of such Affiliate Lender, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (e). In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Affiliate Lenders will not be required to represent or warrant that they are not in possession of non-public information with respect to Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 13.05(e) and (ii) any Term Loans acquired by any Affiliate Lender may (but shall not be required to), with the consent of Borrower, be contributed to Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that any such Term Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be retired and cancelled promptly upon such contribution) and which may be converted into or exchanged for debt or equity securities that are permitted to be issued by such Person at such time; provided that upon any such cancellation, of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Tranche shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Tranche pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be reduced pro rata by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliate Lender shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of Borrower are not then present, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to Borrower or its representatives, (iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or any other Lender with respect to

-165-




any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Credit Documents, (iv) purchase any Term Loan if, immediately after giving effect to such purchase, Affiliate Lenders in the aggregate would own Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding, or (v) purchase any Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments.
(g)    (i)    No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning or participating Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (x) such assignee or participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by Borrower of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment in violation of this clause (g)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (g) shall apply, and nothing in this subsection (g) shall limit any rights or remedies available to the Credit Parties at law or in equity with respect to any Disqualified Lender and any Person that makes an assignment or participation to a Disqualified Lender in violation of this clause (g)(i).
(ii)    If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender without Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (g)(i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Revolving Commitment of such Disqualified Lender and repay all obligations of Borrower owing to such Disqualified Lender in connection with such Revolving Commitment, (B) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Lenders, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (C) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 13.05), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lenders consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

-168-




prior notice thereof is furnished to Borrower, (e) to pledgees under Section 13.05(c), assignees, participants, prospective assignees or prospective participants, in each case who agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.10 or by provisions at least as restrictive as the provisions of this Section 13.10 (it being understood that any electronically recorded agreement from any Person listed above in this clause (e) in respect to any electronic information (whether posted or otherwise distributed on Intralinks or any other electronic distribution system) shall satisfy the requirements of this clause (e)), (f) in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any Credit Document or to the extent required in connection with any litigation with respect to the Loans or any Credit Document or (g) with Borrower’s prior written consent.
SECTION 13.11.    Independence of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be independent of each other and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any such exception be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in contravention of applicable law.
SECTION 13.12.    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 13.13.    Gaming Laws.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are subject to the Gaming Laws and the laws involving the sale, distribution and possession of alcoholic beverages and/or tobacco, as applicable (the “Liquor Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, each other Agent, each Lender, each other Secured Party and each participant acknowledges that (i) it and each of its successors and assigns is subject to being called forward by any Gaming Authority or any Governmental Authority enforcing the Liquor Laws (each, a “Liquor Authority”), in each of their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including with respect to Pledged Collateral and the entry into and ownership and operation of the Gaming Facilities, and the possession, control, transfer or disposition of gaming equipment, alcoholic beverages or a gaming or liquor license, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Governmental Authorities.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, each other Agent, each Lender, each other Secured Party and each participant agrees to cooperate with each Gaming Authority and each Liquor Authority (and, in each case, to be subject to Section 2.11) in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and the other Credit Parties, including, without limitation, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Authorities and/or Liquor Authorities relating to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any other Agent, any of the Lenders, any other Secured Party or any participants, Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to the Credit Documents.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to make effective or perfect any security interest in favor of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (including, without limitation, Article VIII of this Agreement) shall be deemed not to apply to such assets.
SECTION 13.14.    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) to the extent required hereby, notifies Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act

-169-




(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act, and Borrower and the Guarantors agree to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.
SECTION 13.15.    Judgment Currency.
(a)    Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the respective L/C Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, such L/C Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Borrower in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent thereof and, in the case of other currencies the rate of exchange (as quoted by Administrative Agent or if Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
(b)    If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion and the date of actual payment of the amount due by Borrower, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c)    For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 13.15, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.
SECTION 13.16.    Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties hereby agree that Borrower shall not acquire any rights as a Lender under this Agreement as a result of any Borrower Loan Purchase and may not make any claim as a Lender against any Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Agent or Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not impair Borrower’s ability to make a claim in respect of a breach of the representations or warranties or obligations of the relevant assignor in a Borrower Loan Purchase, including in the standard terms and conditions set forth in the assignment agreement applicable to a Borrower Loan Purchase.
SECTION 13.17.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of Borrower and the other Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent

-170-




or fiduciary for Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, or the Lenders has any obligation to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents or in other written agreements between Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, or any Lender on one hand and Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on the other hand; and (iii) Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, or conflict with, those of Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby (other than any agency or fiduciary duty expressly set forth in an any engagement letter referenced in clause (ii)(A)).
SECTION 13.18.    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 any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents or the Swap Contracts or (with respect to the exercise of rights against the collateral) Cash Management Agreements (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 Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 13.18 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party.
SECTION 13.19.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit 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 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 13.19 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 Section 13.19 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 13.19, 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 13.19, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, 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 Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
SECTION 13.20.    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any Agent, any L/C Lender or any Lender, or any Agent, any L/C Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff,

-171-




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, such L/C Lender or such 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 payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and the Agents’, the L/C Lender’s and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Credit Document shall continue in full force and effect, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent or L/C Lender, 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. In such event, each Credit Document shall be automatically reinstated (to the extent that any Credit Document was terminated) and Borrower shall take (and shall cause each other Credit Party to take) such action as may be requested by Administrative Agent, the L/C Lenders and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.
SECTION 13.21.     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
SECTION 13.22.    Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of

-172-




a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

a.
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

5.
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
