        (iv)  Each
Loan or Swing Line Loan shall be deposited into the Operating Account. 


        (v)   Borrower
shall be entitled to write checks upon, or otherwise make withdrawals and transfers from, the Operating Account unless and until the Administrative Agent gives
a notice of exclusive control pursuant to the control agreement governing the Operating Account. 




        (e)   Subject
to the next sentence, each Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan which shall specify, inter alia, the
requested (i) date of such Loan, (ii) type of Loan, (iii) amount of such Loan, (iv) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the Interest Period for such Loan, and (v) whether
the Loan is requested under the Construction Loan Commitment or the Revolving Commitment. Unless the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, has notified Borrower to the contrary, a
Loan may be requested by telephone by a Responsible Official of Borrower, in which case Borrower shall confirm such request by promptly delivering a Request for Loan in person or by telecopier
conforming to the preceding sentence to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic request for Loan purportedly made
by a Responsible Official of Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting. 


        (f)    Promptly
following receipt of a Request for Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed
by telecopier) of the date and type of the Loan, the applicable Interest Period, and that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Nevada time, on the date specified for
any Loan (which must be a Business Day), each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Loan in immediately available funds available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's
Office. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 8, all Advances shall be credited on that date in immediately available funds to the Operating Account. 


        (g)   Unless
the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, each Loan shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000. 


        (h)   The
Advances made by each Lender under the Commitments may, at the option of such Lender, be evidenced by Notes in favor of that Lender with respect to each applicable
Commitment of that Lender. 


        (i)    Subject
to Sections 3.8, 3.9(c) and 3.9(d), a Request for Loan shall be irrevocable upon the Administrative Agent's first notification thereof. 


        (j)    If
no Request for Loan (or telephonic request for Loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(e), if applicable) has been made within the requisite
notice periods set forth in Section 2.2 or 2.3 prior to the end of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan, then on the last day of such Interest Period, such LIBOR Loan shall be automatically
converted into a Base Rate Loan in the same amount. 


        (k)   If
a Loan is to be made on the same date that another Loan is due and payable, Borrower or the Lenders, as the case may be, shall make available to the Administrative
Agent the net amount of funds giving effect to both such Loans and the effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect to each such
Loan. 



32







 





 
 
        2.2    Base Rate Loans.     Each request by Borrower for a Base Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for
Loan (or telephonic or other request for loan referred to in the second
sentence of Section 2.1(e), if applicable) received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 9:00 a.m. Nevada time, on the date (which must be a
Business Day) of the requested Base Rate Loan. All Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly designated as a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.3. 



 
 
        2.3    LIBOR Loans.     



        (a)   Each
request by Borrower for a LIBOR Loan or the continuation of an existing LIBOR Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan (or telephonic or other request for
Loan referred to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(e), if applicable) received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, not later than 9:00 a.m., Nevada
time, at least three Business Days before the first day of the applicable Interest Period. 



        (b)   On
the date which is two Business Days before the first day of the applicable Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall confirm its determination of the applicable
LIBOR (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and promptly shall give notice of the same to Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone,
promptly confirmed by telecopier). 


        (c)   Unless
the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, no more than ten LIBOR Loans shall be outstanding at any one time. 


        (d)   No
LIBOR Loan may be requested during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default. 


        (e)   Nothing
contained herein shall require any Lender to fund any LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market. 




 
 
        2.4    Letters of Credit.     



        (a)    Letter of Credit Commitment.    Subject to Section 2.1(d)(ii) and the other terms and conditions
of this Agreement (including Section 8.4), Borrower may request from time to time during the period from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date that the
Issuing Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.4, issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, and the Issuing Lender agrees
to issue for the account of Borrower one or more Letters of Credit and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it in accordance with subsection (b) below,  provided that (i) Borrower
shall not request that the Issuing Lender issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the
Revolving Outstandings would thereby exceed the Revolving Commitment or, on each date prior to the Opening Date, the Operating Reserve would not be maintained, (ii) Borrower shall not request
that the Issuing Lender issue any Letter of Credit if Borrower would not be in compliance with Section 6.14, (iii) in no event shall the Issuing Lender issue any Letter of Credit having
an expiration date after the Maturity Date or if the expiration date would be longer than twelve months following the date of issuance, (iv) Borrower shall not request any Letter of Credit if,
after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $10,000,000 or any limit established by Law after the Closing Date on the Issuing Lender's ability to issue the requested
Letter of Credit at any time, and (v) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit the Issuing Lender shall request confirmation by telephone from the Administrative Agent that such Letter of
Credit may be issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit if, (A) on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the
issuance thereof any Revolving Lender has notified the Issuing Lender in writing that the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 have not been satisfied with respect to the issuance of such Letter
of Credit, (B) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Agency or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or
any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or 



33







 

directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Agency with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance
of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for
which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing
Lender, or (D) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all of the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date. To
the extent that the Issuing Lender declines to issue or amend a Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above, then the Borrower shall have the right to designate one of the other
Lenders which is willing to issue a replacement letter of credit as the "Issuing Lender" in respect of that Letter of Credit. 


        (b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.    



        (1)   Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Official of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Issuing Lender
and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, at least 3 Business Days (or such later date and time as the Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in its
sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the
amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require. In
the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (W) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (X) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (Y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (Z) such other matters as the
Issuing Lender may reasonably require. 


        (2)   Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by
the Issuing Lender of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance
with the Issuing Lender's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment
times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 


        (3)   Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the
Issuing 




34







 





Lender
will also deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 




        (c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.    



        (1)   Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not
later than 11:00 a.m. Los Angeles time on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender
through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, Borrower
shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.1(g) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than
the delivery of a Request for Loan). Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4(c)(1) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 


        (2)   Each
Revolving Lender (including the Lender acting as Issuing Lender) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(1) make funds available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. Los
Angeles time on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c)(3), each Lender that so makes funds available shall
be deemed to have made an Advance to Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Lender. 


        (3)   With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 cannot be satisfied or
for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall
be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(2) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.4. 


        (4)   Until
each Revolving Lender funds its Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter
of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Lender. 


        (5)   Each
Revolving Lender's obligation to make Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
Section 2.4(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, 




35







 





however,
that each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Advances pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than delivery by Borrower
of a Request for Loan). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing
Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 


        (6)   If
any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(c) by the time specified in Section 2.4(c)(2), the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (6) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 




        (d)    Repayment of Participations.    



        (1)   At
any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender's L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.4(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount
or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such
Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding)
in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 


        (2)   If
any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(1) is required to be returned under any of
the circumstances described in Section 11.24 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 




        (e)    Obligations Absolute.    The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each
Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following: 



        (1)   any
lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 


        (2)   the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 


        (3)   any
draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement 




36







 





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 such Letter of Credit; 



        (4)   any
payment by the Issuing Lender 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 the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-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 



        (5)   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. 





The
waivers set forth in clauses (1) through (5) above shall not be construed as a waiver of any separate claims which may arise in favor of Borrower for any breach by the Issuing Lender
of its obligations under this Agreement. Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will within three Business Days notify the Issuing Lender. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such
claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 



        (f)    Role of Issuing Lender.    Each Revolving Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter
of Credit, the Issuing 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 Issuing Lender, any Agent-Related Person
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at
the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Requisite Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. 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 Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing
Lender, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses
(1) through (5) of Section 2.4(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may
have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing 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 the Issuing Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing 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 Issuing Lender 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 Issuing Lender 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. 



37









  




        (g)    Cash Collateral.    Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the Issuing Lender has honored
any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit
may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Usage (in an amount equal to
such outstanding amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). For purposes hereof, "Cash Collateralize" means to pledge and
deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the then outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Usage, cash
or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving
Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest
in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank
of America. 


        (h)    Applicability of ISP.    Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 



        (i)    Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.    In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 


        (j)    Fees for Modifications.    The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to or
of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that the Issuing Lender's issuance fees shall be payable as set forth in the letter
agreement referred to in Section 3.6. 




 
 

           2.5    Voluntary Reduction of the Commitments.     Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time
to time, without penalty or charge, upon at least three Business Days' prior written notice by a
Responsible Official of Borrower to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiple of $500,000, but not less than
$1,000,000, or to terminate, all or a portion of the then undisbursed portion of any Commitment provided that (i) prior to the Opening Date,
Borrower will not reduce any of the Commitments except in connection with the repayment in full of the Obligations except to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the In-Balance
Test is satisfied by an excess of $10,000,000, and (ii) Borrower shall not reduce any of the Commitments to an amount that is less than the aggregate outstanding principal of the Loans under
such Commitment or, with respect to the Revolving Commitment, to an amount which is less than the Revolving Outstandings plus the Operating Reserve unless the Obligations are concurrently paid in
full. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction or termination of any Commitment under this Section. 



 
 

          2.6    Administrative Agent's Right to Assume Funds Available for Advances.     Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 11:00 a.m., Nevada time, on the Business Day of the proposed funding
by the Administrative Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of the total amount of such Loan, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
Borrower a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such 


38







 

Lender.
If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay
such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the
date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to
the daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its share of the Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent
or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 


 
 

           2.7    Swing Line.     



        (a)   Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall from time to time from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date
make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request, provided that (i) after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the
Swing Line Outstandings do not exceed $10,000,000, (ii) the Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the then effective Revolving Commitment, (iii) on each date prior to the Opening Date,
the Operating Reserve shall be maintained, (iv) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default and (v) the Swing
Line Lender has not given at least twenty four hours' prior notice to Borrower that availability under the Swing Line is suspended or terminated. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this
Section without premium or penalty. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon
telephonic request by a Responsible Official of Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Nevada time, on the Business Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic
request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line
Lender that, after giving effect to such request, availability for Loans will exist under Section 2.1(a) (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Unless
notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. If Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to
debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m.,
Nevada time, on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Line Outstandings each
time there is a change therein and promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders if it suspends or terminates availability under the Swing Line. 



        (b)   Swing
Line Loans shall bear interest at the same rate (including the Applicable Margin) as Base Rate Loans made under the Revolving Commitment minus the then applicable
Commitment Fee Rate. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swing Line Lender
shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for such interest. The interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (d) below). 


        (c)   The
Swing Line Loans shall be payable within five Business Days after demand made by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. 



        (d)   Upon
the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.7(a), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a
participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment times the amount of the Swing Line Loan. Upon
demand made by the Swing Line Lender, each 



39







 




Revolving
Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The obligation of each
Revolving Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (except only demand made by the Swing
Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to
purchase its Pro Rata Share of Swing Line Loans (i) to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $10,000,000 or (ii) to the extent that the Revolving Outstandings exceed
the then effective Revolving Commitment, or (iii) in the case of Swing Line Loans made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an Event of Default. Each Revolving
Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in
the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower with respect
to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Revolving Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to
such claim. 


        (e)   In
the event that the Swing Line Outstandings are outstanding ten consecutive Business Days, then on the next Business Day (unless Borrower has made other arrangements
acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full), Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) sufficient to pay the Swing Line Outstandings in full.
In addition, upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing
Line Outstandings to $0), Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this purpose, Section 2.1(g) shall not
apply). In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the responsive Advances made by each Revolving Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply
to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that Borrower fails to request such a Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not
required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, cause Advances to be made by the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Commitment in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line
Outstandings as required above. The conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply to Advances to be made by the Lenders pursuant to the three preceding sentences, but the Lenders
shall not be obligated to make such Advances to the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 2.7(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) were not satisfied as to any Swing Line
Loan which is part of such Swing Line Outstandings. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings. 




 
 

           2.8    Mandatory Conversion of Certain Construction Loans.     



        (a)   On
the first date upon which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loans first equals or exceeds $150,000,000, a $150,000,000 portion of the
outstanding principal balance of the Construction Loans will convert to term loans (the "Converted Term Loans"). 


        (b)   Upon
any such conversion, the Construction Loan Commitments shall be reduced by the initial aggregate principal amount of the Converted Term Loans, and each Construction
Lender's Construction Loan Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of such Construction Lender's Pro Rata Share of Construction Loan Commitments at the time of conversion  times the
initial aggregate principal amount of the Converted Term Loans. Promptly following such conversion, all Construction Loan Notes will be
replaced with new Construction Loan Notes which appropriately reflect the revised Construction Loan Commitments, and the Borrower shall issue to each Converted Term Loan Lender a Converted Term Loan
Note to 



40







 




evidence
its Converted Term Loans, in each case, in an amount equal to the product of such Converted Term Loan Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Construction Loan Commitment at the time of the conversion
times the initial aggregate principal amount of the Converted Term Loans. 



        (c)   The
Converted Term Loans will be entitled to the ratable benefits of the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Collateral Documents, shall bear interest at the same rate as the
Construction Loans, will be repaid in the same manner, at the same time and with the same priority as the Construction Loans, and all outstanding principal under the Converted Term Loans shall in any
event be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 




 
 

           2.9    Collateral.     The Obligations shall be secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral
Documents. 


 
 

ARTICLE 3    
    
    PAYMENTS AND FEES    
    


 
 
        3.1    Interest.     



        (a)   Interest
shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date thereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be
payable at the rates set forth or provided for herein before and after Default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law, with interest on overdue interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 


        (b)   Interest
accrued on each Base Rate Loan on each Quarterly Payment Date shall be due and payable on that day. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 3.10, the unpaid principal amount of any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate
Margin. Each change in the interest rate under this Section 3.1(b) due to a change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate. 


        (c)   Interest
accrued on each LIBOR Loan which is for a term of three months or less shall be due and payable on the last day of the related Interest Period. Interest accrued
on each other LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable on the date which is three months after the date such LIBOR Loan was made (and, in the event that all of the Lenders have approved an Interest Period
of longer than six months, every three months thereafter through the last day of the Interest Period) and on the last day of the related Interest Period.  Except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.10, the unpaid principal amount of any LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
LIBOR for that LIBOR Loan plus the applicable LIBOR Margin. 




 
 

           3.2    Principal Payments.     The outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be payable as follows:




        (a)   The
Loans may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any
voluntary prepayment under this Section, (i) any partial prepayment shall be not less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice of any prepayment by 9:00 a.m. Nevada time on the Business Day prior to the date of prepayment (which must be a Business Day) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and, in
the case of a LIBOR Loan, three Business Days before the date of prepayment (which must be a Business Day), which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being
prepaid, (iii) each prepayment of principal on any LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal paid, (iv) any payment
or prepayment of all or 



41







 

any
part of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to Section 3.9(e) and (v) upon any partial prepayment of a LIBOR Loan that
reduces the principal amount of such Loan below $2,000,000, the remaining portion thereof shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. 


        (b)   If
not sooner paid, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall be payable as follows: 



        (i)    to
the extent that, on any date when Construction Loans are made, there are any outstanding Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, the proceeds of such Construction Loans
shall be used to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans to zero (but without reducing the Revolving Commitment); 


        (ii)   the
amount, if any, by which the Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the then applicable Revolving Commitment
(including as it may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.5), shall in each case be payable immediately. 


        (iii)  Borrower
shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loans and the Converted Term Loans on each Amortization Date in the amount set forth below
opposite the relevant Amortization Date, with each such payment being applied ratably to the principal amount of the Construction Loans and Converted Term Loans then outstanding: 




	Amortization Dates
 
	 	Quarterly Payment Amount

	June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009	 	$	1,000,000
	March 31, 2010 through and including December 31, 2010	 	$	3,750,000
	March 31, 2011 and each subsequent Amortization Date thereafter	 	$	5,000,000






        and




        (iv)  the
principal Indebtedness under the Loans shall in any event be payable on the Maturity Date. 




        (c)   The
Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to: 



        (i)    100%
of all Net Proceeds from Asset Sales (other than Asset Sales permitted by Section 6.1) except to the extent that such Net Proceeds are applied to purchase
Replacement Assets during the 360 day period following receipt thereof. To the extent that such Net Proceeds are not applied to the purchase of Replacement Assets during such period then, at
the end of such period Borrower shall prepay the Loans in the manner set forth below; and 


        (ii)   100%
of the proceeds from any casualty insurance, condemnation, eminent domain or similar takings, provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has then occurred
and remains continuing or would result therefrom (A) to the extent that Borrower has previously received Designated Bridge Equity Contributions in respect of the casualty giving rise to such
proceeds, Borrower may instead distribute the amount of such proceeds to Holding or the Members in an amount not to exceed the related Designated Bridge Equity Contributions, (B) if not used in
accordance with clause (A) and the Completion Date has not yet occurred, such proceeds shall be deposited into the Operating Account (but shall not be considered Cash Equity) and shall
thereafter be available for the payment of Project Costs, and (C) if not used in accordance with clause (A) and the Completion Date has occurred, then: 



        (1)   Borrower
may retain for its own account any such net proceeds which are in an aggregate amount not in excess of $25,000,000 to the extent that Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries apply such net proceeds to replace, repair or restore the property damaged, destroyed or taken to which such net proceeds relate or to the extent applied 





42







 



to
the purchase or construction of Replacement Assets of a similar character during the Reinvestment Period; and 


        (2)   if
the amount of such net proceeds are in excess of $25,000,000, but less than $100,000,000, then such proceeds shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent to be held
as cash collateral for the Obligations, and may be remitted to Borrower to replace, repair or restore the property damaged, destroyed or taken to which such net proceeds relate or for the purchase or
construction of Replacement Assets during the Reinvestment Period if the Administrative Agent determines that such net proceeds are adequate (when taken with any equity contributions agreed to by
Holding or the Members and any other cash resources reasonably available to Borrower) to so repair, replace or construct Replacement Assets serving the same or a similar function; 




        (iii)  In
respect of each Fiscal Year commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2009, not later than March 31 of the immediately following year,
Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year. 


Each
prepayment under clause (c) above shall be applied to the prepayment of (and permanent reduction of the Commitments) the Obligations in the following manner: 




        first, ratably to the principal amount of the Construction Loans and the Converted Term Loans outstanding on the date of such prepayment;
and 


        second, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit (provided that such
prepayment shall not automatically and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). 


        (d)   Each
mandatory prepayment of the Construction Loans and the Converted Term Loans shall be applied ratably to remaining installments due thereunder. 


        (e)   Each
optional prepayment of the Construction Loans or the Converted Term Loans shall be applied to installments in the manner specified by Borrower within ten Business
Days of the date of such
prepayment (or, in the absence of a timely specification, ratably to all remaining installments of the relevant Loans). 




 
 

           3.3    Arrangement Fee.     On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to BAS the arrangement fee as heretofore
agreed upon in the Fee Letter. Such arrangement fee is for the services of BAS in
arranging the credit facilities under this Agreement and is fully earned when paid. The arrangement fee paid to BAS is solely for its account and is nonrefundable. 


 
 

           3.4    Upfront Fees.     On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
accounts of the Lenders having Revolving Commitments or Construction Loan Commitments
upfront fees in the amounts set forth in the Fee Letter. The upfront fees received by each Lender are solely for its own account and are nonrefundable. 


 
 

           3.5    Commitment Fees; Unused Fees.     



        (a)   From
the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their Pro Rata
Shares of the Revolving Commitment, a commitment fee equal to the daily Commitment Fee Rate per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment exceeds the sum of (a) the
aggregate daily outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans (but not the Swing Line Outstandings) plus (b) the Letter of Credit Usage. The commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. 



43









  




        (b)   From
the date of this Agreement, through the Final Completion Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Construction Lenders
pro rata according to their Pro Rata Shares of the Construction Loan Commitment, a commitment fee equal to the daily Commitment Fee Rate per annum times the actual daily amount by which the
Construction Loan Commitment exceeds the aggregate daily outstanding principal amount of the Construction Loans. The commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
and on the Final Completion Date or upon the earlier termination of the Construction Loan Commitment. 




 
 

           3.6    Letter of Credit Fees.     With respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay the following
fees: 



        (a)   concurrently
with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and annually thereafter in respect of each Letter of Credit having a tenor in excess of one year or which is
renewed for such a tenor, a letter of credit issuance fee to the Issuing Lender for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, in an amount set forth in a letter agreement between Borrower and the
Issuing Lender; 


        (b)   quarterly
in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date or upon any termination of the Revolving Commitment, letter of credit fees to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Commitment, in an amount equal to the daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under each Letter of Credit times the Letter of Credit Fee, per annum, which the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and 


        (c)   concurrently
with each issuance, negotiation, drawing or amendment of each Letter of Credit, to the Issuing Lender for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, issuance,
negotiation, drawing and amendment fees in the amounts published from time to time as the Issuing Lender's scheduled fees for such services. 




        Each
of the fees payable with respect to Letters of Credit under this Section is earned when due and is nonrefundable. 


 
 

          3.7    Agency Fee.     Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an agency fee in such amounts and at
such times as heretofore agreed upon in the Fee Letter. The agency fee is for
the services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as Administrative Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The agency fee paid to the Administrative Agent is solely for its own
account and is nonrefundable. 


 
 

          3.8    Increased Commitment Costs.     If any Lender shall determine in good faith that the introduction
after the Closing Date of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender, with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of Law) of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such Lender's or such corporation's failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with
respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a
consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten Business Days after demand of such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified in good faith by such
Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement,  provided that Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay any such 


44







 

amount
which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand. Each
Lender's determination of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 



 
 

          3.9    Eurodollar Costs and Related Matters.     



        (a)   In
the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any Lender any reserve or comparable requirement (including any emergency, supplemental or other reserve) with
respect to the liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Euro liabilities") of that Lender, then Borrower shall pay within five Business Days
after demand all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (determined as though such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market) in
respect of the imposition of such reserve requirements (provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of
such demand or is attributable
to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand). Each Lender's determination of such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 


        (b)   If,
after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance: 



        (1)   shall
subject any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Loans
or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Advance or any other amounts due
under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances (provided, that
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is
ninety days preceding the date of such demand), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by the relevant Lender's overall net income by (A) any jurisdiction (or
political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is
"doing business" and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide
Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws; 


        (2)   without
duplication as to Section 3.9(a), shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof
(including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office); or 



        (3)   shall
impose on any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office or the Designated Eurodollar Market any other condition affecting any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing
LIBOR Loans, its obligation to make LIBOR Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same; 




and
the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Advance or in
respect of any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its LIBOR
Lending Office with respect to any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes 



45







 

evidencing
LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances (assuming such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market), then, within
five Business Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market). A statement of any Lender claiming
compensation under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 


        (c)   If,
after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or
impossible for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender's
obligation to make LIBOR Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and
Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances
on either (1) the last day of the Interest Period(s) applicable to such LIBOR Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Advances to such day(s) or
(2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the
conversion shall not be subject to payment of a prepayment fee under Section 3.9(e). Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date of
which it has actual knowledge, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will
avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons
set forth above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all
respects as a Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make LIBOR Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation
of the Special Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension. 


        (d)   If,
with respect to any proposed LIBOR Loan: 



        (1)   the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar Market generally that are beyond the reasonable
control of the Lenders,
deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for the applicable Interest Period; or 


        (2)   the
Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective pricing to such
Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market in the relevant amount for the applicable Interest Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making the applicable LIBOR Advances; 




then
the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future LIBOR Advances shall be suspended. 



46







 

        (e)   Upon
payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Advance (other than as the result of a conversion required under
Section 3.9(c)), on a day other than the last day in the applicable Interest Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of
acceleration, or otherwise), or upon the failure of Borrower (for a reason other than the breach by a Lender of its obligation pursuant to Sections
2.1(a) or (b) to make an Advance or the suspension of any Lender's obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans under Section 3.9) to borrow on the date or in the amount specified for a
LIBOR Loan in any Request for Loan, Borrower shall pay to the appropriate Lender within ten Business Days after demand a prepayment fee or failure to borrow fee, as the case may be (determined as
though 100% of the LIBOR Advance had been funded in the Designated Eurodollar Market) equal to the sum of: 



        (1)   the
principal amount of the LIBOR Advance prepaid or not borrowed, as the case may be, times the sum of the number of days from and including the date of prepayment or
failure to borrow, as applicable, to but excluding the last day in the applicable Interest Period, divided
by 360, times the applicable Interest Differential (provided that the product of
the foregoing formula must be a positive number); plus 


        (2)   all
out of pocket expenses incurred by the Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow. Each Lender's determination of the amount of
any prepayment fee payable under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 




        (f)    Each
Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such
Lender to compensation pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section 3.9, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office
if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section 3.9 shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrower, a calculation of the amount
due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the Lender. 




 
 

          3.10    Late Payments.     During the existence of an Event of Default, upon written notice to Borrower from
the Administrative Agent (with the approval of the Requisite Lenders), and in
any event if any principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, (a) the Loans shall
thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the interest rate specified in Sections 3.1(b) or 3.1(c), whichever is applicable, plus (ii) 2%, and
(b) each other Obligation shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin plus 2%, in each case,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be payable on demand and shall
be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 


 
 

           3.11    Computation of Interest and Fees.     Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans and on Swing Line
Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and actual numbers of days elapsed.
Computation of interest on LIBOR Loans and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each
Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day
on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue
or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the 


47







 

Notes
which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal. 


 
 

           3.12    Non Business Days.     If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan
Document shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be
considered due on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees. 



 
 

          3.13    Manner and Treatment of Payments.     



        (a)   Each
payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.8, 3.9, 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22) or on the Notes or
under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in
immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. Nevada time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day). All payments received after such time, on any Business Day, shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative
Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., Nevada time, on a Business Day and not so made
available to the account of a Lender on that Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds
Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. 


        (b)   Each
payment or prepayment on account of any Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Lender comprising such Loan. 



        (c)   Each
Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with
respect to each of its Loans and such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a
record shall not affect Borrower's obligation to pay the Obligations. 


        (d)   Each
payment of any amount payable by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and Borrower shall assure that each payment made by any other Party under
any other Loan Document) shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable
authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income by (A) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing
business" and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which that Lender has failed to provide
Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws whether or not such Lender was legally entitled to provide
such form or forms (all such non excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). To the extent that Borrower is
obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or
withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender's receiving a net after Tax amount
equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit
to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrower. 



48







 




        (e)   All
payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without conditions or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. 




 
 

           3.14    Funding Sources.     Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the
funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner. 



 
 

          3.15    Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver.     Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.10), fee, cost or
other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent's or
such Lender's right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.10), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount
payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion. 


 
 

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



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



        (b)   if
any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds,
together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the
"Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute
such Lender's Advance included in the applicable Loan. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand
therefor upon Borrower, if applicable, and Borrower, if applicable, shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum
equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Advance. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments or to
prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 




A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 3.16 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 


49









  




 
 

           3.17    Fee Determination Detail.     The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide reasonable
detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment. 


 
 

           3.18    Replacement of Lenders.     If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.8 or 3.9, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Agency for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.13(d), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.25. 


 
 

          3.19    Survivability.     All of Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.8 and 3.9 shall survive for
the ninety day period following the date on which the Commitments are terminated
and all Loans hereunder are fully paid, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such Sections made by any Lender to Borrower prior to the expiration of such period.

           4.3    No Governmental Approvals Required.     Except as set forth in Schedule 4.3 or previously
obtained or made, no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing,
registration or qualification with, any Governmental Agency is or will be required to authorize or permit under applicable Laws the execution, delivery and performance by each of the Completion

of its businesses as now operated, and no such Intangible Asset, to the best knowledge of Borrower, conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent right or Intangible Asset

Closing Date. 


 
 

           4.9    Litigation.     Except for (a) any matter fully covered as to subject matter and amount (subject

          4.16    Projections.     As of the Closing Date, Borrower believes that the assumptions set forth in the
Projections are reasonable and consistent with each other and with all facts known
to Borrower, and that the Projections are reasonably based on such assumptions. Nothing in this Section 4.16 shall be construed as a representation or covenant that the Projections in fact will
be achieved. 


 
 

          4.17    Hazardous Materials.     Except as described in Schedule 4.17, (a) neither Borrower nor any

such use, generation, storage and transportation are in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws except for such non compliance that would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect or be materially
adverse to the interests of the Lenders. 


 
 

           4.18    Gaming Laws.     Borrower is in compliance with all applicable Gaming Laws except for such non
compliance that would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. 



 
 

          4.19    Security Interests.     The Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral
described therein securing the Obligations (subject only to Permitted Liens and to such
qualifications and exceptions as are contained in the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the priority of security interests perfected by means other than the filing of a financing statement or

           4.20    Deposit and Brokerage Accounts.     As of the Closing Date, each deposit, brokerage, or other

          4.21    Representations and Warranties Relating to the Construction of the Project.     



        (a)    Equity Contributions.    The Site has been contributed to Borrower and has a cost basis of $50,000,000 and an
appraised value of $142,000,000. As of September 30, 2007, through Holding the Members have also contributed $94,190,000 in cash to the equity capital of Borrower (for the avoidance of doubt,
exclusive of the value of the Site), and such substantially all of such amount has been expended on Project Costs. As of each date a Loan is made, Holding has (or concurrently therewith will have)
contributed not less than $210,000,000 in cash to the equity capital of Borrower (for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of the value of the Site), and such amount has been (or concurrently therewith
will be) expended on Project Costs. 


        (b)    The Construction Plans.    To the best knowledge of Borrower, the Construction Plans presented to the
Construction Consultant prior to the Closing Date are adequate for the construction of the Project and consistent with all facts known to Borrower and with all applicable legal requirements. The
Borrower will assure that the Construction Plans are promptly modified to reflect anticipated material changes to the Project, realized deficiencies or any requirements of applicable law. 


        (c)    Timetable.    The Timetable presented to the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant prior to the
Closing Date is, to the best knowledge of Borrower, reasonable and achievable in light of the Construction Plans, the Budget and all other facts known to Borrower. By submitting each Draw Package,
In-Balance Certificate or update to the Timetable, Borrower shall be deemed to represent that it reasonably anticipates that the Opening Date will occur on or prior to the Opening Date
reflected therein (and, in the case of each Draw Package and In-Balance Certificate, that all interest and other material variable soft costs which will result from any extension of the
projected Opening Date have been included). 


        (d)    Budget.    The Budget delivered on the Closing Date, and each amended Budget thereafter delivered pursuant to
this Agreement, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of any amended Budget as of the date of its submission) is (i) based on assumptions believed to be reasonable by Borrower and is
consistent with all legal and factual matters material to the estimates set forth therein, (ii) consistent with the provisions of the Construction Plans in all material respects,
(iii) includes all reasonably anticipated Project Costs required to construct the Project in accordance with the Construction Plans and to achieve the Final Completion Date, (iv) includes all
interest and fees anticipated by Borrower to be payable in respect of the Obligations prior to the scheduled Opening Date (as in effect from time to time), and (v) includes all anticipated
Pre-Opening Expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Budget has been adjusted from time to time to reflect all material known costs for the design, development, construction and
opening of the Project. 



54







 




        (e)    Remaining Cost Reports.    Each Remaining Cost Report delivered hereunder (i) includes all reasonably
anticipated Project Costs required to construct the Project in accordance with the Construction Plans and to achieve the Final Completion Date as of the date of its preparation, and
(ii) includes all interest and fees anticipated by Borrower to be payable in respect of the Obligations prior to the date which is reasonably anticipated by Borrower to be the Opening Date as
of the date of its preparation. 


        (f)    Zoning and Land Use; Design Approvals.    The Project is consistent with all applicable zoning, land use and
other similar restrictions, including without limitation the CC&Rs and the Development Agreement, including without limitation the Design Guidelines referred to in Section 1.10 of the CC&Rs,
and is in any event appropriately zoned for the conduct of the hotel, gaming, restaurant, night club and liquor businesses. The Architectural Committee referred to in Section 4.2 of the CC&Rs
has approved the Project in the manner contemplated by Section 6.4 of the CC&Rs. 


        (g)    GMAX Contracts.    As of the Closing Date, Borrower has entered into fixed price or guaranteed maximum price
contracts in respect of 45% or more of the Hard Costs Line Items set forth in the Budget as of the Closing Date, which contracts have been presented to the Administrative Agent and the Construction
Consultant. 


        (h)    Permits.    There are no material Permits that are required or will become required under existing Laws for the
ownership, development, construction, financing or operation of the Project, other than the Permits described in Schedule 4.21. Borrower has no reason to believe that any Permit so indicated
will not be obtained before it becomes necessary for the ownership, development, construction, financing or operation of the Project or that obtaining such Permit will result in material expense or
delay. Borrower is not in violation of any condition in any Permit the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 


        (i)    Utilities.    All utility services necessary for the construction and the operation of the Project for its
intended purposes are or will be available at the Site as and when required on commercially reasonable terms. 


        (j)    Labor Disputes.    Neither the Project, the General Contractors nor any material subcontractors are affected by
any labor dispute, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 



        (k)    In-Balance Test.    As of the Closing Date and as of each date a Loan is made prior to the Final
Completion Date, the In-Balance Test is satisfied. In the event that the In-Balance Test fails to be satisfied on any date a Loan is requested to be made, then Borrower shall
have the right to cure such failure within ten Business Days by causing Holding or the Members to make contributions of additional Cash Equity to Borrower, provided that the requested Loan shall not
be required to be made unless and until Borrower has demonstrated to the Administrative Agent that such additional Cash Equity has been received by Borrower.

intention to effectuate such a cure in writing within 45 days following the last day of the relevant Fiscal Quarter (the "Test Quarter"). The giving of such a notice shall not relieve Borrower
of the obligation to deliver a Compliance Certificate on a timely basis pursuant to Section 7.2 in respect of the Test Quarter, provided that Borrower may annotate its Compliance Certificate
for the Test Quarter indicating its election of an Equity Cure pursuant to this Section and providing calculations of the amount of the contributions required to effectuate the Equity Cure.

Equity Cure shall be treated as an addition to EBITDAM for the Test Quarter and any fiscal period including the Test Quarter, but solely for the purposes of
determining Borrower's compliance with the Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants set forth in this Section, and not for the purpose of determining interest rates, fees, Excess Cash
Flow prepayments or any other purpose. No contributions in excess of the minimum amount required to effectuate the Equity Cure shall be treated as a contribution to 




64







 





EBITDAM,
nor shall any contributions be treated as a reduction of Indebtedness, Consolidated Interest Expense or to otherwise adjust the components of the Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio for the Test Quarter.

the Project which are not duplicative of the Project Costs set forth in the Budget in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20,000,000 during the term of this Agreement; 


        (c)   Permitted
Investments; and 


        (d)   Other

        (a)   permit
any Pension Plan to (i) engage in any non exempt "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code), (ii) fail to comply with

        (b)   withdraw,
completely or partially, from any Multiemployer Plan if to do so would result in a liability to Borrower and its Subsidiaries which is in excess of $1,000,000.

        (ii)   if
such Scope Change will increase the amount of the Project Costs reflected in the Budget in any amount unless both (1) Borrower has accounted for such increase

Administrative Agent.

the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(m) as to Borrower: 



        (1)   the
Commitments to make Advances and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower and any other Parties under the Loan
Documents shall be suspended without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in
accordance with Section 11.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions
satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, to reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances, which waiver or determination shall
apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; 


        (2)   the
Issuing Lender may, with the approval of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite Lenders, demand immediate payment by Borrower of an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to be held by the Issuing Lender in an interest bearing cash collateral account as collateral under the Security Agreement; and 



        (3)   the
Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and/or declare all or any part of
the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and
be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower. 




        (b)   Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(m) as to Borrower: 



        (1)   the
Commitments to make Advances and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower and any other Parties under the Loan
Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the Lenders may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving,
determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances, which determination shall apply
equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; 


        (2)   an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable to the Issuing Lender without notice to or demand upon
Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, to be held by the Issuing Lender in an interest bearing cash collateral account as collateral under the Security Agreement; and 




79













  





        (3)   the
unpaid principal amount of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and
payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower. 




        (c)   Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or any of them, without notice to
(except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices expressly
provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against
Borrower and any other Party and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity. 


        (d)   The
order and manner in which the Lenders' rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all
payments received by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and
the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent
and of the Lenders, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Secured Parties in the same proportions that the aggregate payment Obligations owed to each Secured Party under the Loan Documents bear to the
aggregate payment Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Secured Parties, without priority or preference among the Secured Parties. Regardless of how each Secured Party may treat
payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing Borrower's payment Obligations hereunder and under the Loans, payments of the proceeds from the exercise of the Secured
Parties' rights and remedies shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above,  second, to
the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the
date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due the Secured Parties under each of the Loan Documents), and  third, to the payment of all other
amounts (including any Secured Hedging Obligations and principal,
fees and obligations under any Secured Bank Products Agreements) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents. No application of payments of the
proceeds from the exercise of the Secured Parties' rights and remedies will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents,
or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity for the collection or recovery of all unpaid payment
Obligations. 



 
 

ARTICLE 10    
    
    ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT    
    


 
 

           10.1    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.     



        (a)   Each
Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and
each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Participant, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this 



80







 

Agreement
or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other
Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.
Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 



        (b)   The
Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Lender
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
"Administrative Agent" as used in this Article 10 and in the definition of "Agent-Related Person" included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender. 




 
 

           10.2    Delegation of Duties.     The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 



 
 

          10.3    Liability of Administrative Agent.     No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Party or any other party to any Loan
Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Party or any Affiliate thereof. 



 
 

          10.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent.     



        (a)   The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Party), independent accountants and other
experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other 



81







 

Loan
Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 


        (b)   For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 8.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented
to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 




 
 

           10.5    Notice of Default.     The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of
principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any
such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with Article 9; provided, however, that
unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 


 
 

           10.6    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.     Each Lender acknowledges
that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken,
including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any
Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower and the other Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to
be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any
Agent-Related Person. 


 
 

           10.7    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.     Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not
reimbursed by or on behalf of any Party and without limiting the obligation of any Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent 


82







 

determined
in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that
no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise)
of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the
Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations and
the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 


 
 

          10.8    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.     Bank of America and its Affiliates may make
loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding any Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Bank of America in its
individual capacity. 


 
 

           10.9    Successor Administrative Agent.     The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon
30 days' notice to the Lenders; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America
shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which
consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and
Swing Line Lender and the respective terms "Administrative Agent," "Issuing Lender" and "Swing Line Lender" shall mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer and swing line
Lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring Issuing Lender's and Swing Line Lender's rights, powers and
duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the
successor Issuing Lender to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 and Sections 11.3 and 11.11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative 


83







 

agent
has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders
appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 


 
 

           10.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.     In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Usage shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on 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, the Letter of Credit Usage and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents
and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Article 3 and Section 11.3) 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 to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Article 3 and
Section 11.3. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding. 


 
 

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


84









  




 
 

          10.12    Proportionate Interest in any Collateral.     The Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Secured
Parties, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of any collateral or interests therein
received or held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in
accordance with Section 9.2(d), each Secured Party shall have an interest in the Collateral or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Person under
the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all such Persons, without priority or preference among them. 


 
 

           10.13    Foreclosure on Collateral.     In the event of foreclosure or enforcement of the Lien created by
any of the Collateral Documents, title to the Collateral covered thereby shall be taken and held
by the Administrative Agent (or an Affiliate or designee thereof) pro rata for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the Obligations outstanding to each of them and shall be
administered in accordance with the standard form of collateral holding participation agreement used by the Administrative Agent in comparable syndicated credit facilities, which form shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Lenders. 


 
 

           10.14    Subordination, Non Disturbance and Attornment Agreements.     The Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized (but shall not be obligated to) to execute and deliver Subordination, Non Disturbance and Attornment Agreements
substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto with Borrower, any relevant Subsidiaries thereof and their commercial tenants without prior notice to or consent by the Lenders, and may, following
not less than two Business Day's notice to each Lender with a copy of the proposed agreement (unless the Requisite Lenders object thereto during such period), enter into Subordination, Non Disturbance
and Attornment Agreements and other related agreements which are in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 


 
 

           10.15    No Obligations of Borrower.     Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed to impose
upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the
Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any
failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, Borrower's obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the
manner provided by this Agreement. 


 
 

ARTICLE 11    
    
    MISCELLANEOUS    
    


 
 

           11.1    Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.     The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and
not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or
remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other
right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived as provided
in Section 11.2 in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without 


85







 

prejudicing
the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan. 



 
 

          11.2    Amendments; Consents.     No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent
thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any
amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a Party, signed by each such Party, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or
supplement to Article 11, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the Lenders
affected thereby, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective: 



        (a)   To
(i) change the principal of, or the amount of principal of, or the amount of principal prepayments of, any Loan without the consent of the holder thereof, or
to forgive or reduce the amount of any reimbursement payments due with respect to any Letter of Credit without the approval of the Issuing Lender and each Revolving Lender, (ii) decrease the
rate of interest payable on any Loan without the consent of the holder thereof, (iii) increase the amount or percentage of the Pro Rata Share of any Commitment of any Lender or decrease the
amount of any commitment fee payable to any Lender, in each case without the consent of that Lender, (iv) decrease the amount of any other fee or amount payable to any Lender under the Loan
Documents without the consent of that Lender, (v) increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders without the consent of all Lenders, (vi) to increase the interest rate
payable on any Loan without the consent of all Lenders, unless a corresponding increase is provided for each other Loan, or (vii) waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower
to pay when due any principal, interest or any commitment fee hereunder; 


        (b)   To
postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Loan (including  any Swing Line Loan), any amount payable to reimburse any
drawing under any Letter of Credit or any installment of any commitment fee, or to extend the term of any of the
Commitments without the consent of the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the relevant Commitment. 


        (c)   To
release the Holding Pledge Agreement, the Greenspun Pledge Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty, the Completion Guaranty or any material portion of the Collateral,  except as expressly provided for in any
Loan Document; provided that the Administrative Agent is authorized to release the Lien created by the
Collateral Documents on (i) assets secured by Indebtedness of the type described in Section 6.3(c), (ii) assets which are the subject of an Asset Sale permitted by
Section 6.1, and (iii) assets the sale, transfer or other disposition of which is not an Asset Sale, and shall do so upon request of Borrower subject to such reasonable and customary
requirements as the Administrative Agent may specify; 


        (d)   To
amend the provisions of the definition of "Quarterly Payment Date," "Requisite Lenders," "Maturity Date" or to amend any constituent definition in a manner which
results in a substantive change to any of the definitions listed in this clause (d); or 


        (e)   To
amend or waive this Section 11.2, or Sections 11.9 or 11.10; 


        (f)    To
amend the anticipated funding order set forth in Section 2.1(d) without the consent of all Lenders; 


        (g)   To
amend or waive any condition set forth in Section 8.2 to the making of any Revolving Loan (or to amend or waive any covenant which would result in an effective
waiver of such conditions), without the consent of the Majority Revolving Lenders; or 



86







 




        (h)   To
amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders. 




        Any
amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the
Pro Rata Share of the Commitments of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 



        If
any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved
by the Requisite Lenders, the Borrower may replace such non-consenting Lender (each, a "Non-Consenting Lender") in accordance with Section 11.25; provided that such
amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant
to this paragraph). 



 
 

          11.3    Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.     



        (a)   Borrower
agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation
and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including all reasonable Attorney Costs, and (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement,
attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any "workout" or restructuring
in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all
search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and
the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders. All amounts due under this Section 11.3 shall be payable within five
Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. 


        (b)   Borrower
shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (1) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by overall net income, gross income or
gross receipts and franchise taxes imposed on any Lender by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending
Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business", (2) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United
States of America that are not attributable to any change in any Law or the interpretation or administration of any Law by any Governmental Agency and (3) any withholding tax or other taxes
based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by
Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws, but including all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or
thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 the Lenders from and against any and all loss, 



87







 




liability
or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason
of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section shall bear interest from the second Business Day
following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate. 




 
 

          11.4    Nature of Lenders' Obligations.     The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure
of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among
themselves or with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. Each Lender's obligation to make any Advance pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, and in the case of the initial
Advance only is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their obligations to make initial Advances. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments
attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not
obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender,
reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, to replace such a Lender in default. 


 
 

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


 
 

           11.6    Notices.     



        (a)    General.    Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection
(c) below) electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 



        (1)   if
to Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number
specified for such Person on
the signature pages of this Agreement or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and 


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




88







 







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



        (b)    Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures.    Loan Documents may be transmitted or signed by
facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Parties, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the
failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature. 


        (c)    Limited Use of Electronic Mail.    Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only to
distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information as provided in Section 7.1, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may
not be used for any other purpose. 


        (d)    Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders.    The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to
rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic requests for Loans and Swing Line Loans) that, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, are purportedly given by or
on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or
(ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses
and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice that, in the reasonable judgment of
such Agent-Related Person, is purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative
Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 




 
 

           11.7    Execution of Loan Documents.     Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to
any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in
any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by
a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof
or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto. 



 
 

          11.8    Successors and Assigns.     



        (a)    Successors and Assigns Generally.    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee
in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8(b), (ii) by way of 



89







 

participation
in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.8(f)
(and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 


        (b)    Assignments by Lenders.    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.8(b), participations in Letter of Credit
Usage and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 



        (i)    Minimum Amounts.    



        (A)  in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment under any facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such
facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 



        (B)  in
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder)
or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than
$1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for
purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; 




        (ii)    Proportionate Amounts.    Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing
Line Lender's rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate facilities on a
non-pro rata basis; 


        (iii)    Required Consents.    No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 



        (A)  the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 


        (B)  the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for (i) assignments in respect of the
Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of 





90







 






the
applicable facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and (ii) assignments in respect of any Converted Term Loan unless such assignment is to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 


        (C)  the
consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the
assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and 



        (D)  the
consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving
Commitment or Revolving Loans. 




        (iv)    Assignment and Assumption.    The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount, of $3,500; provided,  however, that the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.
The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 


        (v)    No Assignment to Borrower.    No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower's
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or the Members or any of the Members' Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 


        (vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons.    No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 




Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 3.8, 3.9, 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its
expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.8(d). 


        (c)    Register.    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal amounts of the Loans and Letter of Credit Usage owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register").
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. At the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall annotate the Register to reflect any collateral assignment of the Obligations owed to that
Lender and, provided that the Administrative Agent has been 



91







 




given
the name and address of such collateral assignee, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not reflect further transfers of such Obligations on the Register absent receipt of written consent to
such transfers from such collateral assignee and (ii) shall record the transfer of such Obligations on the Register to such collateral assignee (or such collateral assignee's designee, nominee
or assignee) upon written request by such collateral assignee. 



        (d)    Participations.    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or the Members or the Members' Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in Letter of Credit Usage and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Sections 11.2 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or
(h) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.13(d)
and 11.3(b) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 11.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.10 as though it were a Lender. 


        (e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights.    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Sections 3.8, 3.9 (excluding 3.9(e)), 3.13(d) and 11.3(b) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.13(d) or 11.3(b) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply
with Section 11.21 as though it were a Lender. 


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


        (g)    Electronic Execution of Assignments.    The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import
in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 



92









  





Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.8 to the contrary, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, the Commitments or Loans shall be subject to the
approval of any Gaming Authority, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, and to compliance with applicable securities laws. 


 
 

           11.9    Right of Setoff.     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders)
may (a) exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any
deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations. 



 
 

          11.10    Sharing of Setoffs.     Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right
of setoff, Lender's lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives
payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws:
(a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each
of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each
Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or
receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment
obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender's share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or
any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by
Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of
the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all
notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise
any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased. 


 
 

           11.11    Indemnification by Borrower.     Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their
respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or
administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, 


93







 

whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use
by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any
liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after
the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 11.11 shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 


 
 

           11.12    Nonliability of the Lenders.     Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: 



        (a)   Any
inspections of any Property of Borrower made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and Borrower
is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower); 



        (b)   By
accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents,
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or
condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders; 


        (c)   The
relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall
under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates;
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform
Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with
respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such
matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and 


        (d)   The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or
death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim. 




 
 

           11.13    No Third Parties Benefited.     This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting
forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Administrative 


94







 

Agent
and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8, 11.11, and 11.14 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature
hereunder or by reason hereof. 


 
 

           11.14    Confidentiality.     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the
Issuing Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from
Borrower, the Completion Guarantors, the Manager and their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Lenders or their Affiliates;
(b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower, the Completion Guarantors, their Affiliates or any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrower,
the Completion Guarantors, their Affiliates or any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement with provisions
substantially similar to this Section 11.14; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e) to any Gaming Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over
Borrower or its Subsidiaries or over the Completion Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, provided that each Lender agrees to notify the affected party of any such disclosure unless prohibited by
applicable Laws; (f) as required by Law or legal process, provided that each Lender agrees to notify the affected party of any such disclosures unless prohibited by applicable Laws, or in
connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and Borrower, the Completion Guarantors or their respective Affiliates are adverse parties; (g) to another financial institution in
connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Loans, provided that the
recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement with provisions substantially similar to this Section 11.14; (h) to the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners; (i) to a nationally recognized credit rating agency provided that each Lender agrees to notify the affected party of any such disclosures, and (j) to any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.14). For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting a Person reasonably considered by
that Person to be confidential, provided that, in the case of information received from a Party or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential and "confidential information" shall not include (i) information previously filed with any Governmental Agency and
available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, (iii) information previously disclosed
by that Person to any other Person not associated with the disclosing Person without a confidentiality agreement or obligation substantially similar to this Section 11.14, and
(iv) information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Party or any Subsidiary thereof. Nothing
in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
"confidential information" shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and "tax
structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in
either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or
similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise
to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Lenders to Borrower or any other Party. 


95







 

 
 

           11.15    Further Assurances.     Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense
to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts
and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights
hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Collateral Document. 


 
 

           11.16    Integration.     This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and the letter agreements
referred to in Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.7, comprises the complete and
integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions
of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties
thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 


 
 

           11.17    Governing Law.     Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of California
applicable to contracts made and performed in California. 


 
 

          11.18    Severability of Provisions.     Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative,
unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or
jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 


 
 

          11.19    Headings.     Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents for any other purpose. 


 
 

           11.20    Time of the Essence.     Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. 



 
 

           11.21    Foreign Lenders and Participants.     



        (a)    Tax Forms.    



        (1)   Each
Lender that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS
Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such
Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax,
including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such
additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be
available under then current United States Laws to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to 




96







 


be
made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary
(including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such
Foreign Lender. 


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



        (3)   Borrower
shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.13(d) (A) with respect to any taxes required to be
deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 11.21(a)
or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.21(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this
Section 11.21(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this
Section 11.21(a) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.13(d) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law or
governmental order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a
subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or
is subject to withholding at a reduced rate. 


        (4)   The
Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to
which Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 11.21(a). 




        (b)    Form W-9.    Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a "United
States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such
Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax
imposed by the Code, without reduction. 


        (c)    Withholding.    If any Governmental Agency asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or
backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all
penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts 



97







 




payable
to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive
the termination of the Commitment, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 




 
 

          11.22    Hazardous Material Indemnity.     Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each
of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges,
administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but
not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the defense of any such
action has not been assumed by Borrower), arising directly or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in, under or about any Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or
discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower or any of its predecessors in
title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower or any predecessor
in title, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Real Property, in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean up, transport or disposal of
any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any
Real Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or
disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply
to Hazardous Materials on any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower under this Section (and under Sections 4.17 and 5.11) shall be unlimited corporate
obligations of Borrower and shall not be secured by any Lien on any Real Property. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.22 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders. 


 
 

           11.23    Gaming Compliance.     The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agree to cooperate with all
Gaming Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory
jurisdiction over Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Authority relating to Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or to the Loan Documents. 



        (a)   At
such time as Borrower has been issued a Gaming License, this Agreement and all other Loan Documents are subject to the Gaming Laws and the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders acknowledge and understand that (a) they are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability as a
lender to a gaming licensee; (b) all rights, remedies and powers in or under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Collateral (including Holding Pledged Collateral) and
the ownership and operation of gaming facilities may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws; and
(c) all provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relative to Collateral (including Holding Pledged Collateral) and the ownership and operation of gaming facilities are intended
to 



98







 

be
subject to the Gaming Laws and to be limited solely to the extent necessary to not render the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in
part. 


        (b)   Subject
to the release of any Collateral as contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent (or one or more agents or sub agents of the
Administrative Agent) shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, retain possession of all Holding Pledged Collateral delivered to it at a location within the State of Nevada designated
to the Gaming Authorities. 




 
 

           11.24    Payments Set Aside.     To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower made to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its
right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off 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 the Administrative Agent 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 set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand
its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, 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. 


 
 

           11.25    Replacement of Lenders.     If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.8 or 3.9, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Agency for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.13(d), if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that
gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 



        (a)   the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8; 



        (b)   such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.9(e)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 


        (c)   in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 3.8 or 3.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.13(d),
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 


        (d)   in
the case of any Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall concurrently replace all Non-Consenting Lenders; and 


        (e)   such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 




        A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower
to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 


99







 

 
 

           11.26    Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.     EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF
ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 


 
 

           11.27    California Judicial Reference.     If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of
California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a
referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision, provided
that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a "provisional remedy" as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and
determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Section 11.3, Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such
action or proceeding. 


 
 

          11.28    Purported Oral Amendments.     BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF
OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 11.2. BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR
WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 11.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 


 
 

           11.29    USA PATRIOT ACT.     Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (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, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to
identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Schedule 4.3    
    


        At such time as Borrower is issued a Gaming License, the pledge of the Holding Pledged Collateral, and any restrictions on the transfer of, and agreements not to
encumber, the equity securities of any limited liability company that is a registered holding company, contained in the Holding Pledge Agreement or in any other Loan Documents, must be approved by the
Gaming Authorities in order to remain effective. Any subsequent amendment of the Holding Pledge Agreement will need approval from the Gaming Authorities in order to become effective.
