further provided herein. 
  
 2.02. Term A Loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term A Lender severally agrees to make a Term A Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in the amount of its Term A Commitment. Term A Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate
Loans, as further provided herein. No Term A Loan which is at any time prepaid or repaid may be reborrowed, but each Term A Loan may be converted, in whole or in part, to a Term A Loan of another Type, or continued from time to time, in the manner
contemplated by Section 2.03. 
  
 2.03. Borrowings, Conversions
and Continuations of Loans. 
  
 (a) Each
Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (whether such Borrowing consists of Revolving Loans, Term A Loans or Converted Term Loans) shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.03(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar

$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, as of any date, not more than two Borrowings under the Aggregate Term A Commitments and not more than two Borrowings under the Converted Term

Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of
the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify
an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
  
 (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender of the amount of its
Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender having a Percentage of the relevant Commitments shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect
to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to
the Borrower as provided above. 
  
 (c) Except as
otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as
Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time
that Base Rate Loans are 
  

 - 37 - 








 outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of
America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice
to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to
permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has
determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or
otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension. 
  
 (iv) 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 L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such
Letter of Credit or amendment. 
  

 - 41 - 








 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
  
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such
date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer 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 that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In
such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans 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 2.03 for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Overall Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) 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. 
  
 (ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon
any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage times the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes
funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 
  
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans
because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer pursuant
to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from that Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04. 

 
 (iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Loan or L/C
Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C
Issuer. 
  

 - 42 - 








 (v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse
the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which that Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower
of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest
as provided herein. 
  
 (vi) If any Revolving
Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by that Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from that 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 L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of
the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any
Revolving Lender that Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount
or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to that Revolving Lender its Revolving Percentage
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which that Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 - 43 - 








 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by that Revolving Lender, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of
the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer 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: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
  
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary 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 L/C Issuer 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; 
  
 (iii) 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 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; 
  
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer 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 
  
 (v) 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, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
  

 - 44 - 








 The 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 the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim
against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit,
the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer 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, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable; (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 Issuer Document. The 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 the 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 L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C
Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim
against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the
L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms
and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer 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. 
  
 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all 
  

 - 45 - 








 L/C Obligations. Sections 2.06 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash
Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.04, Section 2.06 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders).
Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the 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 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as
most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
  
 (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Revolving Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not
such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit). Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum
amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the
request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
  
 (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C
Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such
maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) and on a quarterly basis in arrears, and due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur
after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and
other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

  

 - 46 - 








 (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
  
 (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted
Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted
Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 2.05. Swing Line Loans. 
  
 (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate
amount outstanding not to exceed at any time the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Overall Outstandings shall not exceed the Overall Commitments, and (ii) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus that Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance
any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Each Swing Line
Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing
Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
  
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount
to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the 
  

 - 47 - 








 Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by
telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of
the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line
Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing
Line Lender in immediately available funds. 
  
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 
  
 (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base
Rate Loan in an amount equal to the product of that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be
a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in
such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for
Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
  

 - 48 - 








 (iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by that Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover
from that 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 Swing Line
Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any
Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.05(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which that Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender,
the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender
will distribute to that Revolving Lender its Revolving Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which that Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in
the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent 
  

 - 49 - 








 will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest
on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05 to refinance that Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such
Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing
Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 
  
 2.06.
Prepayments. 
  
 (a) The Borrower may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of that Lender’s
Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Percentages. 
  
 (b) The Borrower may,
upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be
received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
  

 - 50 - 








 (c) If for any reason the Outstanding Amount under the Revolving Commitments at any time
exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans the Outstanding Amount under the Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

  
 2.07. Early Partial Termination of Revolving Commitment;
Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 
  
 (a) Early Partial Termination. A $125,000,000 portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall terminate on March 31, 2006 (the “Early Partial Termination”) unless by such date either (i) the Commencement of
Redevelopment has occurred (unless the Administrative Agent approves an extension to June 30, 2006, in which case the termination will occur on June 30, 2006, unless the Commencement of Redevelopment has then occurred), or (ii) the Required Lenders
have consented in writing to an Alternative Project. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender ratably according to its Revolving Percentage. In the event that after giving
effect to any Early Partial Termination, the Outstanding Amount under the Revolving Commitments would thereby exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, then the Borrower shall immediately repay Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans in the amount of
such excess. All fees accrued until the effective date of the Early Partial Termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
  
 (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate
or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amounts under the Aggregate Revolving Commitments would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (iv)
if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the
amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the
Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Revolving Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

 2.08. Optional Termination upon a Change of Control. Following the occurrence of a Change of
Control, the Required Lenders may in their sole and absolute discretion elect, during the thirty day period immediately subsequent to the later of (a) such occurrence or (b) the earlier of (i) receipt of Borrower’s written notice to the
Administrative Agent of such occurrence or (ii) if no such notice has been received by the Administrative Agent, the date upon which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge thereof, to terminate the Commitments, in which case the Commitments
shall be terminated effective on the date which is sixty days subsequent to written notice from the Administrative Agent to Borrower thereof. 
  
 2.09. Mandatory Conversion of Certain Revolving Loans. 
  
 (a) Unless an Early Partial Termination sooner occurs, then on the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Outstanding Amount of the
Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans (but not L/C Obligations) first equals or exceeds $150,000,000 for 45 consecutive days, or (ii) December 31, 2006, a $125,000,000 portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line
Loans outstanding under the Revolving Commitments (or, if less, the principal amount of such Obligations outstanding on December 31, 2006), will convert to term loans (the “Converted Term Loans”). 
  
 (b) Upon any such conversion, the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be reduced in the initial aggregate principal amount of the Converted Term Loans, and each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Percentage times the initial aggregate principal amount of the Converted Term Loans. Promptly following such conversion, the Borrower shall issue to each Lender having Converted Term Loans a promissory note substantially in the form
of Exhibit C to evidence its Converted Term Loans, in each case, in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the initial aggregate principal amount of the Converted Loans. 
  
 (c) The Converted Term Loans will be entitled to the ratable
benefits of the Guaranties and the Collateral Documents, shall bear interest at the same rate as the Revolving Loans, will amortize as set forth in Section 2.10, and all principal remaining outstanding thereunder shall in any event be due and
payable on the Maturity Date. 
  
 2.10. Amortization of the
Term A Loans; Mandatory Repayment of the Obligations. 
  
 (a) On each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay the principal amount of the Term A Loans in the amounts set forth below:

 - 52 - 








 (b) In the event that Revolving Loans are converted to Converted Term Loans as
contemplated by Section 2.09, then on each Quarterly Payment Date which thereafter occurs, and on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay a percentage of the original aggregate principal amount of the Converted Term Loans set forth below:

  

			
	 Quarterly Payment Dates ending:

	  	 Percentage of original amount of the Converted Term
Loans to be repaid on each Quarterly Payment Date and
the Maturity
Date


	 September 30, 2004 through June 30, 2007
	  	 1⁄4 of 1% of initial principal balance

	 September 30, 2007 through June 30, 2008
	  	 2.5% of initial principal balance

	 September 30, 2008 through March 31, 2009
	  	 4.0% of initial principal balance

	 Maturity Date
	  	 Remaining balance


  
 (c) In
any event, the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on such date. 
  
 (d) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made, and
(ii) the Maturity Date. 
  
 2.11. Interest. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i)
each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
  

 - 53 - 








 (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
  
 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan)
payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
  
 (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount
of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
  
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due
and payable upon demand. 
  
 (c) Interest on each
Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
  
 2.12. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.04: 
  
 (a) Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance
with its Revolving Percentage, an unused fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans (but not the Swing Line Loans) and
(ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The unused fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. The unused fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed
and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
  
 (b) Upfront Fees. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender through the Administrative Agent certain upfront fees
in the amounts specified in the Fee Letter; each Lender having been heretofore advised of the amount of the upfront fees to which it is entitled. 
  

 - 54 - 








 (c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. 
  
 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest
for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.15(a), bear
interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 2.14. Evidence of Debt. 
  
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by that Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to that Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence that Lender’s Loans in addition to such
accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
  
 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by that Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 2.15. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
  
 (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower
shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender its Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to that Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  
 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that that Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent that Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that that Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by that Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and that Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If that Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute that Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may 
  

 - 56 - 








 be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to that Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
  
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error. 
  
 (c) Failure to Satisfy
Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by that Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
that Lender) to that Lender, without interest. 
  
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(d) are several and not joint.
The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(d) 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, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(d). 
  
 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any
Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
  
 2.16. Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in that Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of
such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
  
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
  

 - 57 - 








 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C
Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
  
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may (with the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.08) exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if that Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 
  

 - 58 - 








 ARTICLE III. 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 3.01. Taxes. 
  
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
paid by the Administrative Agent, that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) Status of Lenders. 
  
 (i) Each Lender that is entitled to a complete exemption from withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party,
with respect to 
  

 - 59 - 








 payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not that Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
  
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of Section 3.01(e),
each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (two copies or such other such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
  
 (A) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN relating to such Foreign Lender and claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, which benefits entitle it to complete exemption from withholding tax on all payments to be made to such
Foreign Lender pursuant to this Agreement; 
  
 (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; 
  
 (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
  
 (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law (or other
evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) as a basis for claiming complete exemption from United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine that no withholding or deduction is required to be made. 
  

 - 60 - 








 Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (I) 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 and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available complete exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (II) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (III) take such steps as shall not
be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of that Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction
or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. 
  
 (iii) 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 that Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the
case of a typical participation by that 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 that is required by the Code and Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder to be transmitted or that Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which that 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 that Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to
establish that that Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to that Lender. 
  
 (iv) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.01 (A) with respect to any
Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption that Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) or (B) if that Foreign Lender shall have failed to
satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01(e) and such failure results in the payment of additional Taxes; provided that if that Foreign Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 3.01(e) on the date that Foreign 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 3.01(e) shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event
that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental 
  

 - 61 - 








 rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof,
that Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that that Lender or other Person for the account of which that Lender receives any sums payable under any of the
Loan Documents is not subject to withholding. 
  
 (v) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If that Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to that Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction. Thereafter and from time to time, each such 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 and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be
made to such Lender by the 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, and (C) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of that Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such
Lender. 
  
 (vi) If any Governmental Authority
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, that Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor,
including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts 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 Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (vii) The provisions of this Section 3.01(e) shall apply to the L/C Issuer, as such, in the same manner as
they are applicable Lenders generally. 
  
 (f)
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with
respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity 
  

 - 62 - 








 payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes
or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, that Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, that Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, that Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. If the
Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly pay the required Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent required
by this Agreement, however the relevant Lender, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall thereafter cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Taxes or Other Taxes at the Borrower’s sole expense if so requested by
the Borrower in writing. 
  
 3.02. Illegality. If any
Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of that Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by that Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until that Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from that Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if
applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of that Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if that Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if that
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
  
 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders
determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan , or (c) the Eurodollar
Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to that Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each
Lender. Thereafter, the 
  

 - 63 - 








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

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 
  
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer; 
  
 (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any
kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to that Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except
for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by that Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 
  
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by that Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to that Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to that Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by that Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of that Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to that Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a), the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this clause (a) for any taxes for which they are otherwise responsible pursuant to Section 3.01. 
  
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting
that Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of that 
  

 - 64 - 








 Lender or that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of that Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, that Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which that Lender or the L/C Issuer or that
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate that Lender or the L/C Issuer or that
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
  
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate that Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay that Lender or
the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
  
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that that Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of that Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
  
 (e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as that Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate
Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by that Lender (as determined by that Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on
such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from that Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 
  

 - 65 - 








 3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate that Lender for and hold that Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
  
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
  
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of that Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 
  
 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13; or 
  
 (d) including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by that Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
  
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was
in fact so funded. 
  
 3.06. Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders. 
  
 (a)
Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then that Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of that Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or
eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject that Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to that Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
  
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace that Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
  
 3.07. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this
Article III shall survive termination of the Overall Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

financial statement, certificate or other written information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to 
  

 - 74 - 








 the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of
this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith

or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, (b) the failure to comply therewith, either

Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
infringes upon any rights held by any other Person in a manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.18. In-Balance Test. At all times during the period between the Commencement of Redevelopment and the Completion Date of the Las Vegas North

 - 81 - 








 (b) Without limitation on the foregoing, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall
maintain liability, casualty and other insurance which is consistent with the coverages (including all deductibles and retentions) maintained by Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, provided that Borrower shall not
unreasonably refuse to purchase any coverages requested by the Requisite Lenders which is reflective of insurance ordinarily carried by responsible companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar assets in the geographic areas in which
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries operate. All such insurance shall be carried through insurance companies rated A+ or better by A.M. Best. 
  
 (c) In any event, Borrower shall maintain and keep in force the following insurance:

Flood Hazard Area, then Borrower shall provide, maintain and keep in force at all times a flood insurance policy covering the Property in limits that would equal or exceed the damage caused by what is expected to be the most severe flood (or any
greater limits to the extent required by applicable law from time to time). 
  

 - 82 - 








 (c) Each such policy shall name the Administrative Agent as an additional insured and mortgagee, and
shall to the extent relevant, include a waiver of subrogation against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, contain a provision that provides for a severability of interests, and shall provide that an act or omission by one of the insured shall

new policy issued, continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy which expired. If Borrower fails to pay any such premium, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain reasonable replacement coverage and
advance funds to pay the premiums for it on behalf of the Lenders. Borrower shall repay the Administrative Agent immediately on demand for any advance for such premiums, which shall be considered to be an additional Loan bearing interest from the
date of demand at the Default Rate. 
  
 6.08. Compliance with
Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,

operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often
as may be reasonably desired (but not so as to materially interfere with the business of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that when 
  

 - 83 - 








 an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or
independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice. If any Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of

deem appropriate for such purpose, and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent Collateral Documents of the types referred to in clauses (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (x) of Section 4.01(a) (as applicable) and favorable opinions of counsel to such

 ARTICLE IX. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 9.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America
to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor
any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
  
 9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
  
 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
  
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

  
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
  
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or 
  

 - 102 - 








 (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to
have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer. 
  

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made
in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or
other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have
been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to that Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from that Lender or the
L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  
 9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  
 9.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer
and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, 
  

 - 103 - 








 or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint
a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation
shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative
Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
  
 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the
obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
  
 9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any
of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to 
  

 - 104 - 








 time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
  
 9.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint
Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. 
  
 9.09. Collateral and
Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

Overall Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale
permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

transaction permitted hereunder.

by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) 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 or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or
any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on
such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (c) Special Indemnity Re Environmental Matters. The Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, including the allocated cost of attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by
any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating thereto, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) 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 or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party
has obtained a final and nonappealable 
  

 - 110 - 








 judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The indemnity set
forth in this Section (c) shall not be directly secured by any interest in real property. 
  
 (d) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, that Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that
the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against
any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (d) are subject to the provisions of Section
2.15(d). 
  
 (e) Waiver of Consequential
Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsections (b) or (c) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
  
 (f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days
after demand therefor. 
  
 (g) Survival.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Overall Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations. 
  
 10.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent
that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such
setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or that 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 
  

 - 111 - 








 thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) 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. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause
(b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 10.06. 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 neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may 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 Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (h) of this Section (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 L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Subject to the approval (if any) by any Gaming Board to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws,
any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),
participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that: 
  
 (y) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s relevant Commitment and the Loans at
the time owing to it; or 
  
 (z) in the case of
an assignment to a Lender; 
  
 the aggregate amount of the
applicable Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder or, if the applicable 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 
  

 - 112 - 








 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); 
  
 (i) 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 (i) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans or prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Commitments on a non-pro rata basis; 
  
 (ii) each assignment must be approved by the Administrative
Agent, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender which already holds a Commitment of the type to be assigned (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of that Lender; 
  
 (iii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, each assignment must be approved by the Borrower, unless the Person
that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (in each case holding a Commitment of the type to be assigned whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);

  
 (iv) the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that no processing or recordation fee shall be due with respect to an assignment to a Lender’s
Affiliate), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 
  
 (v) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have received the tax forms and other items required by Section
3.01(e). 
  
 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 Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, that Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such 
  

 - 113 - 








 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 that Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 
  
 (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 L/C Obligations 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 each of the Borrower and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In
addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent
a copy of the Register. 
  
 (d)
Participations. Subject to the approval (if any) by any Gaming Board to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, 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) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of that Lender’s rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of any of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including that Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) that Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) that 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 L/C Issuer shall
continue to deal solely and directly with that Lender in connection with that Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that that 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 that Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. 
  

 - 114 - 








 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant complies with Section 3.01(e) 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 Note, if any) to secure obligations of that
Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release that Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for that 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. 

 
 (h) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute
a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it
fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.15(b)(i). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or
expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which
a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan
by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby 
  

 - 115 - 








 agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is
one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information
relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Contingent Obligation or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
  
 (i) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii)
upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as
L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding
Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). 
  
 10.07.
Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any Gaming Board or any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of
any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing 
  

 - 116 - 








 provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the
consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
  
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other
than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from
the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
  
 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, but only after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by that
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to that Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not that Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan
Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of that Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that that Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
  
 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In
determining whether the 
  

 - 117 - 








 interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such
Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
  
 10.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 10.11. 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 any Credit
Extension, 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. 
  
 10.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties
shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 10.13. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or the subject of a Lender Disqualification, 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 that Lender and the Administrative Agent, require that Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with and 
  

 - 118 - 








 subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), 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 10.06(b); 
  
 (b) that 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 3.05) 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 Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 
  
 (d) 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 that Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time, any Gaming Board determines pursuant to the terms of applicable Gaming Laws
that a Lender Disqualification has occurred in respect of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent or that Lender, as applicable, fails to become licensed or to be found qualified or suitable within any time period
mandated by such Gaming Board in accordance with such Gaming Law, then the Borrower will have the right, at its sole option, to: 
  
 (i) require the Administrative Agent to resign its capacity as Administrative Agent, or to require the relevant Lender to dispose of all or a portion of
that Lender’s interests, in each case within 120 days after receiving notice of any finding by any such Gaming Board, or any other different time period as may be prescribed by the Gaming Board in accordance with applicable Gaming Laws; or

  
 (ii) redeem without premium or penalty the Obligations owed to
that Lender (without redemption of the Obligations owed to the other Lenders not subject to a Lender Disqualification) at par (and subject to the payment of any related amounts under Section 3.5) upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
notice by the Borrower, or any other different time period as may be prescribed by any Gaming Board in accordance with applicable Gaming Law. 
  

 - 119 - 








 10.14. Cooperation with Gaming Boards. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to cooperate
with all Gaming Boards in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents and other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Board
relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the Loan Documents. 
  
 10.15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
  
 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

  
 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE
BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SITTING IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
OF THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH CALIFORNIA STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL
COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT
OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY
OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
