69

Amount and in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect. Each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be repaid in full no later than that date. All Loans made or committed to be made under this subsection, collectively, the “Revolving Credit Facility”.

(iii)          Swing Line Loans. At any time prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to make loans (the “Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrower, in Dollars, HK Dollars or Patacas as requested by the Borrower, in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Swing Line Loan, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect. Amounts borrowed pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed during the period prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Swing Line Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be paid in full no later than such date.

B.          Borrowing Mechanics. Loans made on any Funding Date (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B for the purpose of reimbursing any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, and Swing Line Loans which shall be governed by the provisions of subsection 2.10), shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of (x) $15,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount in the case of Term Loans and (y) $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in the case of Revolving Loans; it being understood that each amount set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) shall apply to the requested aggregate amount of all Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, to be made on such Funding Date (calculated using the Dollar Equivalent (based on the applicable 2014 Restatement Date FX Rate, 2015 Joinder Date FX Rate, 2016 Restatement Date FX Rate or Closing Date FX Rate) in the case of Loans denominated in HK Dollars and Patacas).

Whenever the Borrower desires that Lenders make Term Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice with respect to such Term Loans. Each such Borrowing Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Macau SAR time, at least five Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date (or such shorter period acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and must specify (i) the amount of Term Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Funding Date, (iii) whether such Term Loans that are denominated in Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and (iv) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each relevant Lender will make the amount of its share of each borrowing as is required hereunder available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available Dollars, Patacas or HK Dollars, as applicable.

Whenever the Borrower desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B for the purpose of reimbursing any Issuing 

70

Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, and Swing Line Loans which shall be governed by the provisions of subsection 2.10), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice no later than 11:00a.m. Macau SAR time at least five Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date. The Borrowing Notice shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of Revolving Loans requested, (iii) whether such Revolving Loans that are denominated in Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (iv) in the case of any Loans requested to be made as Eurodollar Rate Loans and in the case of the HIBOR Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period requested therefor. Each relevant Lender will make the amount of its share of each borrowing as is required pursuant to and subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 2 available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available Dollars, Patacas or HK Dollars, as applicable. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent prior to the funding of any such Revolving Loans in the event that any of the matters to which the Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Borrowing Notice is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by the Borrower of the proceeds of any such Revolving Loans shall constitute a recertification by the Borrower, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which the Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Borrowing Notice.

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Borrowing Notice for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith; provided that in the case of the initial borrowing on the 2016 Restatement Date, the Borrower may revoke such notice if any condition set forth in subsection 7 of the 2016 Amendment Agreement will not, in the Borrower’s judgment, be satisfied or waived on or prior to the date on which the Lenders would fund such borrowing, and the Borrower shall pay any breakage and other costs incurred in connection with any such revocation in accordance with subsection 2.6D.

C.          Lending of Funds. All Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder. Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Notice pursuant to subsection 2.1B, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time) on the applicable Funding Date (or, for purposes of the initial funding (i) on the 2014 Restatement Date only, such other time agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and notified in writing to the Revolving Loan Lenders, or (ii) on the 2016 Restatement Date only, such other time agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and notified in writing to the New Initial Term Loan Lenders), in same day funds in Dollars, Patacas or HK Dollars, as applicable, by wire transfer (together with the applicable SWIFT confirmation) at the applicable Payment and Funding Office, and the Administrative Agent shall make such funds in the case of Term Loans and Revolving Loans, available no later than 1:00p.m. (Macau SAR time) on the applicable Funding Date (or, for purposes of the initial funding (i) on the 2014 Restatement Date only, such other time agreed to 

71

by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and notified in writing to the Revolving Loan Lenders, or (ii) on the 2016 Restatement Date only, such other time agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and notified in writing to the New Initial Term Loan Lenders) by depositing such Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to the account or accounts as directed by the Borrower.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date for any Loans that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

D.          The Register.

(i)          The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain, as agent for the Borrower, at its address referred to in subsection 10.9, a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(ii)          The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitment and the Loans (in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.1, and, for any Loans or Commitments denominated in HK Dollars or Patacas, including the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Loans and Commitments calculated using the 2014 Restatement Date FX Rate, 2015 Joinder Date FX Rate, 2016 Restatement Date FX Rate or the Closing Date FX Rate, as applicable) from time to time of each Lender, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender (and any cancellations of Term Loans pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of subsection 10.1I). Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any 

72

error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of any applicable Loans.

(iii)          Each Lender shall record on its internal records (including the Notes held by such Lender) the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(iv)          The Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in subsections 10.1B(ii) or 10.1I(vi), as applicable. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

E.          Notes. The Borrower agrees that, upon request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing the Loans made by, and payable to the order of, such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the original applicable Commitment. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on each obligor absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any Loan Party.

2.2          Interest on the Loans.

A.          Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.7, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to (i) in the case of Revolving Loans (but not including Swing Line Loans) or Term Loans denominated in Dollars, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate, or (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans (but not including Swing Line Loans) or Term Loans denominated in Patacas or HK Dollars, the HIBOR Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan shall be selected by the Borrower initially at the time a Borrowing Notice is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B, and the basis for determining the interest rate with 

73

respect to any Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.6G and 2.7, the Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum as follows:

(a)          if a Base Rate Loan, then from the date of funding of such Loan at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Loans; or

(b)          if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then from the date of funding of such Loan at the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Loans; or

(c)          if a HIBOR Rate Loan, then from the date of funding of such Loan at the sum of the HIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Loans; or

(d)          if a Swing Line Loan, then from the date of funding of such Loan at the sum of either (i) in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in Dollars, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for an Interest Period of one month or (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in HK Dollars or Patacas, the HIBOR Rate for an Interest Period of one month, in each case plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans.

All Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan.

B.          Interest Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower may, pursuant to the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at the Borrower’s option, either a one, two, three or six month period (or, with the consent of all relevant Lenders, nine or twelve months, or a period of less than one month if all relevant Lenders consent to such period); provided that:

(i)          the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan, or on the Business Day specified in the applicable Conversion/Continuation Notice, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan;

(ii)          in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Conversion/Continuation Notice, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii)         if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the 

74

month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv)        any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to subsection 2.2B(v), end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v)         no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Loans shall extend beyond the Maturity Date for such Loans;

(vi)        no Interest Period shall extend beyond a date on which the Borrower is required to make a scheduled payment of principal of the Loans unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date plus (c) the excess of the Commitments then in effect over the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, equals or exceeds the principal amount required to be paid on the Loans or the permanent reduction of the Commitments that is scheduled to occur on such date;

(vii)       there shall be no more than 12 Interest Periods outstanding at any time;

(viii)      in the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan in the applicable Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month; and

(ix)         notwithstanding the above, for any Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan made on a day that is not the last Business Day of a calendar month, the Borrower may select an Interest Period that shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan and expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month and thereafter revert to the Interest Period selected in compliance with the other provisions of this subsection 2.2B, including, without limitation, subsection 2.2B(v).

C.          Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (in the same currency as such Loan made to the Borrower) on each Interest Payment Date with respect to such Loan, shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans.

D.          Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6, the Borrower shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Loans equal to $5,000,000 (or $1,000,000 in the case of Revolving Loans) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to 

75

$3,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan, it being understood that each amount set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall apply to the requested aggregate amount of such conversion or continuation, as applicable, to be so converted or continued (calculated using the Dollar Equivalent (based on the applicable 2014 Restatement Date FX Rate, 2015 Joinder Date FX Rate, 2016 Restatement Date FX Rate or Closing Date FX Rate, as applicable) in the case of Loans denominated in HK Dollars and Patacas); and that in connection with a conversion or continuation of a Loan denominated in HK Dollars or Patacas which originally met the requirements of clause (i) or (ii) but no longer does solely due to fluctuation in exchange rates, such Loan shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (i) or (ii) as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be converted into a Base Rate Loan prior to the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that the Borrower shall pay any breakage and other costs incurred in connection with any such conversion in accordance with subsection 2.6D.

The Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least five Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan). A Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period and (v) in the case of a conversion to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan, that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, if a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower has not been notified in writing by the Administrative Agent that it may not continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan. In lieu of delivering the above-described Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D, the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other Person authorized to act on behalf of the Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.2D, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice the Borrower shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

76

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C, 2.6F and 2.6G, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

E.          Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all overdue amounts other than fees then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (and, in the case of any fees, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in the interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

F.          Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of (i) a 360-day year, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) a 365-day year, in respect of Base Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, (i) the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan during any period when such Term Loans may be assigned through a Settlement Service, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and (ii) the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan, or, with respect to a Term Loan during any period when such Term Loans may be assigned through a Settlement Service, the current Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

2.3          Fees.

A.          Commitment Fees. Each of the Company and, on and after the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Revolving Loan Lender in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, commitment fees for the period from and including September 11, 2011 to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date equal to (x) the average of the daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments over the 

77

sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans but not the Letter of Credit Usage plus (B) the Letter of Credit Usage multiplied by (y) 0.50% per annum, such commitment fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to be paid to each Revolving Loan Lender in the same currency as its Revolving Loan Commitment and to be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after September 11, 2011, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

B.          Annual Administrative Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an annual administrative fee in the amount and at the times set forth in the Agent’s Fee Letter.

; provided, that the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loans above shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 2.4B(iv) or any cancellations in accordance with subsection 10.1I, and the final installment payable by the Borrower in respect of the Term Loans shall be in an amount, if such amount is different from that specified above, sufficient to repay all amounts owing by the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Term Loans which are cancelled pursuant to and in accordance with subsection 10.1I, each of the installments of principal payments of the Term Loans due after the date of such cancellation (including the final principal payment on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date) shall be cancelled on a pro rata basis.

B.          Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions in Commitments.

(i)          Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice given to the Administrative Agent by 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time), in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans denominated in Patacas or HK Dollars), five Business Days’ (or, on any day prior to the 60th day following the 2016 Restatement Date, in case of a voluntary prepayment of Non-Extended Initial Term Loans, two Business Days’) prior written or telephonic notice given to the Administrative Agent by 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time), in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans, and upon written or telephonic notice given to the Administrative Agent by 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time) on the date of such prepayment with respect to Swing Line Loans denominated in HK Dollars, and in each case, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount (or in the case of Swing Line Loans, in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount); provided, however, that with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan not prepaid on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto the Borrower shall pay any amount payable pursuant to subsection 2.6D. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein in the currency in which such loans were made to the Borrower unless such notice is in connection with a refinancing of the Loans in which case such notice may be conditioned upon consummation of such refinancing. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4B(iv).

(ii)          Voluntary Reductions of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of such Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of 

80

$1,000,000 in excess of that amount. The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of such Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce such Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share; provided, that if such cancellation is in connection with a refinancing of all or a part of Commitments then outstanding, such date shall be the date on which such refinancing is consummated if such date is different than the date specified in the Borrower’s notice. Any such voluntary reduction of the Commitments shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4B(iv).

(iii)         Mandatory Prepayments. The Loans shall be prepaid in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth below, all such prepayments to be applied as set forth below or as more specifically provided in subsection 2.4B(iv):

(a)          Prepayments From Net Asset Sale Proceeds. If any Asset Sale is consummated, then no later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds in respect of such Asset Sale (other than Net Asset Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than the sale of the Venetian Macao Mall, Four Seasons Macao Mall or Four Seasons Macao Resort Project (including any complementary suites comprising a portion thereof)) to the extent such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are reinvested in the business of the Loan Parties within 12 months of receipt), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds (except that, in the case of Net Asset Sale Proceeds received from Permitted Asset Dispositions constituting the sale (including by way of the sale of equity interests in the applicable entities) of the Venetian Macao Mall, Four Seasons Mall or Four Seasons Macao Resort Project (including any complementary suites comprising a portion thereof), if the Company makes a dividend with the proceeds thereof in accordance with subsection 7.5(ii), such prepayments shall only be required in an amount not less than 75% of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds received in respect of such Permitted Asset Disposition); provided that no such prepayment or reinvestment shall be required with respect to any Asset Sales if at the time such prepayment would otherwise be due (A) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from such Asset Sale, and (B) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is, prior to giving effect to such prepayment, less than 4.0:1.0; provided further that the amount of any prepayment otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iii)(a) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Permitted Bond Ratable Share of such amount and (y) the amount of the related Net Asset Sale Proceeds which are required by the provisions of the Permitted Bonds, Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, Other Loans or any other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to subsections 7.1(xx) and 7.1(xxi) (collectively, the “Pari Passu Indebtedness”) to be applied or offered to be applied to the redemption or retirement of Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that to the extent such Net Asset Sale Proceeds are not so applied to retire or redeem Pari Passu Indebtedness after an offer to do so has been made (“Excess Asset Sale Proceeds”), such Excess Asset Sale Proceeds shall be applied to repay Loans in accordance with this subsection 2.4B(iii)(a). For purposes of this subsection 2.4B(iii)(a), (a) no Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be deemed to have been received by a Loan Party as a result of any Asset Sale of a complementary 

81

accommodation, apartment or condominium units at any Project (including any sale of equity in connection with the sale or disposition of such apartments, accommodations or units) until such time as the final payment for such Asset Sale is received (and is not contractually subject to return or refund) by a Loan Party, and (b) no prepayment shall be required with respect to Net Asset Sale Proceeds received as a result of Asset Sales of complementary accommodations, apartment or condominium units at any Project (including any sale of equity in connection with the sale or disposition of such apartments, accommodations or units) until the aggregate amount of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds with respect to the applicable Project is in excess of $10,000,000 since the prior prepayment made with respect to Net Asset Sale Proceeds received as a result of Asset Sales of complementary accommodations, apartment or condominium units at such Project (including the above-described equity sales), and in no event shall any prepayments with respect to Net Asset Sale Proceeds received as a result of Asset Sales of complementary accommodations, apartment or condominium units at any Project (including the above-described equity sales) be required to be made more frequently than once per calendar month.

(b)          Prepayments from Net Loss Proceeds. Subject to subsection 6.4C, the terms of the Gaming Concession Contract and applicable law, no later than the date on which Net Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to prepayment of Loans pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection 2.4B(iii)(b), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Loss Proceeds; provided, however, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower or another Loan Party may use such Net Loss Proceeds to repair, restore and replace the property or asset with respect to which such Net Loss Proceeds were paid in order to compensate the Borrower or such other Loan Party for the Event of Loss which occurred thereto so long as such Net Loss Proceeds are used for such purposes within 12 months of the Borrower’s receipt of such Net Loss Proceeds (or, if committed for such use by the Borrower, actually used for such purposes within 15 months of the Borrower’s receipt of such Net Loss Proceeds); provided further that the amount of any prepayment otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iii)(b) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Permitted Bond Ratable Share of such amount and (y) the amount of the related Net Loss Proceeds which are required by the provisions of the Pari Passu Indebtedness to be applied or offered to be applied to the prepayment, redemption or retirement, as applicable, of Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided that to the extent such Net Loss Proceeds are not so applied to retire or redeem Permitted Bonds after an offer to do so has been made (“Excess Loss Proceeds”), such Excess Loss Proceeds shall be applied to repay Loans in accordance with this Section 2.4B(iii)(b). To the extent such Net Loss Proceeds are not so reinvested, the Borrower will make a prepayment of the Loans within five Business Days of the end of such 12-or-15 month period, as the case may be; provided further, that no prepayment shall be required with any Net Loss Proceeds from any Event of Loss that, taken together with all other Events of Loss from and after the 2014 Restatement Date as to which the Net Loss Proceeds were not used to prepay loans hereunder do not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate, so long as such Net Loss Proceeds are reinvested in assets of the Loan Parties used or useful in the business of the Loan Parties (which assets shall be pledged as Collateral to support the Obligations) within 12 months of the Borrower’s receipt of such Net Loss Proceeds.

82

(c)          Prepayments from Net Termination Proceeds. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company or any other Loan Party of any Net Termination Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Termination Proceeds; provided that the amount of any prepayment otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iii)(c) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Permitted Bond Ratable Share of such amount and (y) the amount of the related Net Termination Proceeds which are required by the provisions of the Pari Passu Indebtedness to be applied or offered to be applied to the prepayment, redemption or retirement, as applicable, of Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided further that to the extent such Net Termination Proceeds are not so applied to retire or redeem Permitted Bonds after an offer to do so has been made (“Excess Termination Proceeds”), such Excess Termination Proceeds shall be applied to repay Loans in accordance with this subsection 2.4B(iii)(c).

(d)          Prepayments Due to Incurrence of Debt. On the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company or any other Loan Party of the Cash proceeds (any such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable fees, costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses and any Taxes paid or payable as a result thereof, being “Net Proceeds”) from the incurrence of any debt of the Company or any other Loan Party (other than any debt expressly permitted under subsection 7.1), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds.

(e)          Calculations of Net Proceeds Amounts; Additional Prepayments Based on Subsequent Calculations. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(d), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount (the “Net Proceeds Amount”) of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Loss Proceeds, Net Termination Proceeds or Net Proceeds, as the case may be, that gave rise to such prepayment. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual Net Proceeds Amount was greater than the amount set forth in such Officers’ Certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the additional Net Proceeds Amount resulting in such excess.

(f)          [Reserved].

(g)          Prepayments Due to Reductions or Restrictions of Revolving Loan Commitments. The Borrower shall from time to time prepay Swing Line Loans and/or Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect; provided that no prepayments shall be required pursuant to this clause (g) due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

83

(h)          Drawings on Conforming Parent L/Cs. In the event that any Conforming Parent L/C Draw Event shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent may draw down on each outstanding Conforming Parent L/C in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, a Conforming Parent L/C Draw Event shall be in addition to an Event of Default described in Section 8 and (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any rights or remedy under Section 8 in order to draw on the Conforming Parent L/Cs and (ii) any drawing on a Conforming Parent L/C shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall release any Conforming Parent L/C or a portion thereof in its possession to the Borrower, provided that each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (i) no Conforming Parent L/C Draw Event shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall at such time be in compliance with subsection 7.6 and shall have been in compliance therewith for the preceding four consecutive quarters (without giving effect to any such Conforming Parent L/C or a portion thereof or any substitute equity contribution by Parent or its Affiliates), (iii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iv) since the last day of the preceding calendar year, no event or change shall have occurred that caused, in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)          [Reserved].

(j)          [Reserved].

(k)          [Reserved].

(iv)          Application of Prepayments.

(a)          Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loan and Order of Maturity. Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied (1) as specified by the Borrower with respect to Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans in the applicable notice of prepayment and (2) on a pro rata basis (in accordance with subsection 2.4B(iv)(c)) with respect to Term Loans or, at the option of the Borrower, applied to the Non-Extended Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with subsection 2.4B(iv)(c)); provided that in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof on a pro rata basis and second to repay outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with subsection 2.4B(iv)(c)).

(b)          Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any amount (the “Applied Amount”) required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(e) or (h) shall be applied to first prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis to the full extent thereof, provided that, until the date that is 270 calendar days after the 2016 Restatement Date and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may elect to apply such prepayments first to prepay the Non-Extended Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis before prepaying the Extended Initial Term Loans or the New Initial Term Loans, and second, to the extent of 

84

any remaining portion of the Applied Amount, to prepay the Revolving Loans pro rata to the full extent thereof (without any reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments).

(c)          Application of Prepayments of Term Loans to the Scheduled Installments of Principal Thereof. Any prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) or 2.4B(iii)(a)-(e) or (h) shall be applied to the scheduled installments thereof (including the final principal payment on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date) on a pro rata basis.

(d)          [Reserved].

(e)          Application of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans. Considering Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.6D.

C.          General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i)          Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars, Patacas or HK Dollars, based on each Lender’s Percentage of outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Loans in each such currency (or, with respect to commitment fees under subsection 2.3A, each Lender’s Percentage of the Commitments under the applicable Facility in the currency of such Commitments), in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time) on the date due (or, if necessary, on the next preceding Business Day) at the applicable Payment and Funding Office for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge its accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(ii)         Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

(iii)        Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Loans shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans proportionately to the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares (subject to subsection 2.12). The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary address set forth on Schedule 2.1 or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by the Administrative Agent, and the 

85

commitment fees of such Lender and all other amounts due to such Lender, when received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3 (subject to subsection 2.12). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or Market Disruption Lender or if any Affected Lender or Market Disruption Lender makes Base Rate Loans or Alternate HK Dollar Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(iv)        Payments on Business Days. Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder, as the case may be.

(v)         Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal or interest on such Note.

2.5          Use of Proceeds.

A.          Revolving Loans. The proceeds of the 2014 Restatement Date Revolving Loans, including any Swing Line Loans, shall be applied by the Borrower (i) to fund the ongoing development of the VOL Casino Hotel Resort Project, (ii) to fund the development on Site 3 and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties, including to make any investment or payment not specifically prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents and to pay the Transaction Costs.

B.          Term Loans. (a) The proceeds of the Existing Term Loans were applied by the Borrower in accordance with the 2014 Credit Agreement and (b) the proceeds of the New Initial Term Loans shall be applied by the Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties including to make any investment or payment not otherwise specifically prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents.

C.          New Term Loans and New Revolving Loans. The proceeds of the New Term Loans and New Revolving Loans, if any, shall be applied by the Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties including to make any investment or payment not otherwise specifically prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents.

D.          Margin Regulations. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates in any manner that would cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate 

86

Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

E.          Sanctions. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or, to the actual knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their Affiliates) for business activities relating to Cuba, Sudan, Iran, Myanmar (Burma), Syria, North Korea or Libya. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or, to the actual knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their Affiliates) for business activities that are prohibited by sanctions, restrictions or embargoes imposed by the United Nations, the European Union, the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, HM Treasury of the United Kingdom, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia and/or the Reserve Bank of Australia. This includes, in particular (but without limitation) business activities involving Persons or entities named on any sanctions lists issued by any of the aforementioned bodies (each such Person or entity being a “Restricted Party”). Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit where the beneficiary thereof is a Restricted Party or has direct or indirect activities with a Restricted Party.

2.6          Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A.          Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 1:00p.m. (Macau SAR time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

B.          Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar or HK Dollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or HIBOR Rate, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be, until such time as Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise 

87

to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Loans denominated in Dollars in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be made with respect to Base Rate Loans.

C.          Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that it becomes unlawful for a Lender to make, maintain or continue its Commitments or Loans, as contemplated by this Agreement, as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Change in Law (or would conflict with any treaty, order, policy, rule or regulation (including any regulation set forth by the Nevada Gaming Authority or any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Company) having the force of law), then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall promptly give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (i) if the same is unlawful for such Affected Lender, the obligation of such Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans, HIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender (which such Affected Lender shall do at the earliest practicable date), (ii) if it becomes unlawful for such Affected Lender to maintain its outstanding Loans, such Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall, subject to subsection 2.8A, be terminated, its Commitments shall be terminated and its RL Percentage and/or TL Percentage, as applicable, shall be reduced to zero, in each case, at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law), whereupon such Affected Lender shall receive a prepayment in the amount of its outstanding Loans and cease to be a Lender under this Agreement, and (iii) the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent such additional amounts of cash as reasonably requested by any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender to be held as security for the Borrower’s reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans then outstanding (such amount not to exceed such Affected Lender’s obligations under subsection 2.10D, subsection 3.1C or subsection 3.3C). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

D.          Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, as applicable, or a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan does not occur as a result of the revocation by the Borrower of the related Borrowing Notice pursuant to subsection 2.6F, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan or HIBOR Rate Loan does not occur 

88

on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) and subsection 2.4B(iii)) or other principal payment (including pursuant to an assignment of Revolving Loans on any Increased Amount Date pursuant to Section 2.12) or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement. If at any time any prepayment is required that would give rise to any compensation pursuant to this subsection 2.6D under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, and no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then at the Borrower’s option upon five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable prepayment amount may be deposited irrevocably into the Prepayment Account in lieu of payment to the applicable Lenders. Such funds shall be held in the Prepayment Account until the last day of the applicable Interest Period, at which time the amount deposited in the Prepayment Account shall be further disbursed to the applicable Lenders. The deposit of amounts into the Prepayment Account shall not constitute a prepayment of principal and all principal to be prepaid using the proceeds from such account shall continue to accrue interest at the then applicable interest rate until actually prepaid.

E.          Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender, provided that as of the date of any such change in any Lender’s booking office for its Commitments or Loans hereunder or the effective date of any such assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, such Lender or Affiliate is not entitled to claim an amount in excess of that which would have been payable to or for the account of original branch of such Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, in respect of Included Taxes pursuant to subsection 2.7C(i) (but without prejudice to any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to such Included Taxes occurring after the date of such change or assignment).

F.          Market Disruption. If within one Business Day after the Interest Rate Determination Date for any Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans the Administrative Agent receives notifications from any Lender, or Lenders, holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans (any such Lender or Lenders, “Market Disruption Lenders”) that the cost to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market or the Hong Kong interbank market, respectively, would be in excess of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the HIBOR Rate, as the case may be (a “Market Disruption Event”), then, the rate of interest for such Loans for such Interest Period shall be calculated in the manner set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of the next sentence. Upon receipt of notification from the Market Disruption Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing (which notice shall identify the Market Disruption Lenders) of the occurrence of such Market Disruption Event, and thereafter the Borrower may by telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time prior to the Business Day next preceding the date of such Borrowing or the first day of such Interest Period, as the case may be, revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or 

 

89

HIBOR Rate Loans, as applicable, or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of (1) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, Base Rate Loans and (2) in the case of Loans denominated in HK Dollars or Patacas, Loans at the HIBOR Rate determined as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by Reference Banks in accordance with clause (b) in the definition of HIBOR Rate (or if the HIBOR Rate which gave rise to the Market Disruption Event was already determined in such manner, at the Alternate HK Dollar Rate) in the amount specified therein. If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing as substitute basis for determining the rate of interest for Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be). Any alternative basis so agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, with the prior consent of all Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto.

G.          Eurodollar Rate Loans and HIBOR Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, (i) if so notified by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a HIBOR Rate Loan (provided that, if such notice has been given by the Administrative Agent, such HIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Alternate HK Dollar Rate), after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed made with respect to Base Rate Loans.

2.7          Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy; Taxes.

A.          Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7C (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law:

(i)          subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents) to any additional Tax (other than any (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)          imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or HIBOR Rate, respectively); or

90

(iii)          imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar or HK Dollar market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or HIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this subsection 2.7A, which statement shall be prima facie evidence of the matters set forth therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7A for any Taxes, costs or reduced amounts incurred more than twelve (12) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such Taxes or increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable by such Lender and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstances giving rise to such Taxes, increased costs or reductions are retroactive in effect, then the twelve-month period referred to above shall (if the period of retroactive effect includes any period prior to the first day of such twelve month period) be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

B.          Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Lender for purposes of this subsection 2.7B) shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or participations in Letters of Credit or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or (as the case may be) or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error; provided that (A) the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.7B for any amount incurred more than 270 days prior to the date of the written demand therefor, and (B) the limitation in (A) shall not apply to any claim arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law giving rise to such loss, expense or liability.

91

C.          Taxes; Withholding; Etc.

(i)          Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on account of any  obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Agent or any Lender shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than an Excluded Tax) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within (a) the United States or any political subdivision in or of the United States or (b) Macau SAR or any political subdivision in or of Macau SAR or (c) any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower or by any federation or organization of which the United States or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment, all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Included Taxes”.

(ii)         Withholding of Taxes. If the Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Included Tax from any sum paid or payable by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents (each, as applicable, a “Withholding Agent”), then:

(a)         the applicable Withholding Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding;

(b)         the applicable Withholding Agent or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Instrumentality in accordance with the applicable law; and

(c)         the sum payable by the applicable Withholding Agent shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deduction, withholding or payment on amounts paid pursuant to this subsection 2.7C(ii)), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made.

(iii)        Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Instrumentality pursuant to subsection 2.7C, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(iv)        Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Instrumentality in accordance with the applicable law any Other Taxes.

(v)         Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this subsection 2.7C), and 

92

any 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 Instrumentality. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vi)        Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.1, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable and paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonably expenses arising therefore or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Instrumentality. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.

(vii)       Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Included Taxes imposed on payments made pursuant to the Loan Documents shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower, promptly upon request to such Lender by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation provided by the Borrower and prescribed by applicable law and such other information reasonably requested that is necessary to reduce or eliminate such Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any documentation pursuant to this subsection 2.7C(vii) if such Lender is not legally able to do so.

(a)          If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection 2.7C(vii)(a), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

93

(viii)      Treatment of Certain Refunds. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives or anticipates, in its sole discretion, that it will ultimately receive or otherwise benefit from a refund that it determines, in its sole discretion, is in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7C(ii), it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this subsection 2.7C with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalty, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.7C, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 2.7C(viii), the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Taxes had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(ix)         Survival. Each party’s obligations under this subsection 2.7C shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(x)          For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the 2016 Restatement Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

2.8          Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders.

A.          Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender or Issuing Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6 it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender or Issuing Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or Issuing Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letters of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender or 

94

(ii) take such other measures as such Lender or Issuing Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender or Issuing Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit through such other lending or Letters of Credit office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect, in any material respect, such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or Letters of Credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8A if such Lender or Issuing Lender would incur incremental expenses as a result of utilizing such other lending office as described in clause (i) above unless the Loan Parties agree in writing to pay all such incidental costs on or prior to the date such costs would be incurred by such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.8A (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that it will not request compensation under subsection 2.7 unless such request would be consistent with such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s general practice in such regard at such time.

B.          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender becomes (x) an Affected Lender, (y) a Market Disruption Lender or (z) entitled to receive any additional amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7A, 2.7B, or 2.7C(ii), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 10.1, including as a condition precedent to such assignment, (i) Administrative Agent’s consent to the assignee unless not otherwise required by subsection 10.1 and (ii) payment by the Borrower of the registration fee set forth in subsection 10.1B(i), if applicable), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment, or an Affiliate of the Company to the extent such Affiliate is permitted as an Eligible Assignee); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received irrevocable payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, and accrued fees and all other Obligations and other amounts payable to it hereunder (including amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6D) from the assignee or the Borrower (or such lesser amount agreed to by the parties) and (ii) such assignee would, immediately after such assignment, not be entitled to receive any additional amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7C(ii) hereof (or, alternatively, would be entitled to receive reduced additional amounts pursuant to subsection 2.7C(ii) hereof than such assignor would have received but for such assignment).

2.9          Incremental Facilities.

A.          The Borrower may by written notice to the Co-Syndication Agents and the Administrative Agent elect to request from time to time (i) prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, an increase to the existing Revolving Loan Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Loan Commitments”) and/or (ii) the establishment of one 

95

or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”), denominated in Dollars, HK Dollars and/or Patacas pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in an amount, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Permitted Bonds outstanding pursuant to subsection 7.1(xx), not in excess of the sum of (x) $2,000,000,000 in the aggregate minus the aggregate principal amount of the New Initial Term Loans funded on the 2016 Restatement Date plus (y) the amount of any New Term Loan Commitments the net cash proceeds of which are used solely to repay in whole or in part any Term Loans and, in each case, not less than $25,000,000 individually (and/or the equivalent thereof in HK Dollars and/or Patacas) (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), which amount set forth in such notice may be a proposed range of new commitments that otherwise comply with the foregoing requirements. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter time as is agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to each Co-Syndication Agent and the Administrative Agent. When available, the Administrative Agent will deliver a notice to the Borrower and each Lender setting forth the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee or any other Person (other than a natural Person) approved by the Borrower (each, a “New Term Loan Lender” or a “New Revolving Loan Lender”, as applicable) to which the Administrative Agent has allocated any portion of such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments and the amounts of such allocations, and in the case of each notice to any Revolving Loan Lender, the respective interests in such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section; provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Loan Commitment or New Term Loan Commitment.

B.          Such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments and the related Credit Extensions; (2) both before and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Series of New Term Loan Commitments or New Revolving Loan Commitments, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall not be greater than 3.5:1.0; (3) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied; (4) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Section 7.6 as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter after giving effect to such New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments; (5) the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in subsection 2.7C(vii); (6) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to subsection 2.6D in connection with the New Revolving Loan Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments; and (7) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term 

96

Loans for all purposes of this Agreement (all New Term Loans or New Term Loan Commitments of any Series, a “New Term Loan Facility”).

C.          On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Revolving Loan Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Loan Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Loan Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Loan Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Loan Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

D.          On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan Lender of such Series shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of such Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto. Proceeds of any Series of New Term Loans shall be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.

E.          The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Joinder Agreement, identical to the Extended Initial Term Loans and the New Initial Term Loans. The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Loan Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Facility (except that customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the New Revolving Loan Commitments may be different than those paid with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility). In any event (i) the weighted average life to maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Extended Initial Term Loans and the New Initial Term Loans, (ii) the applicable New Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the final maturity of the Term Loans, (iii) the rate of interest and any applicable original issue discount applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Co-Syndication Agents and the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this subsection 2.9.

2.10          Swing Line Loans.

97

A.          Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

B.          Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (Macau SAR time) one Business Day prior to the proposed Funding Date.

C.          The Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 3:00p.m. (Macau SAR time) on the applicable Funding Date by wire transfer (together with the applicable SWIFT confirmation) of same day funds in Dollars, Patacas or HK Dollars, as the case may be, where and as directed by the Borrower. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsection 4.2, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars, Patacas or HK Dollars, as the case may be, equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by the Administrative Agent from the Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Payment and Funding Office, or such other office of the Administrative Agent as may be designated in writing to the Borrower in the case of Swing Line Loans denominated in Patacas or HK Dollars.

D.          With respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loans, if (i) such Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding for more than four Business Days, (ii) any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall occur and be continuing on a date such Swing Line Loans are outstanding, or (iii) the Swing Line Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), no later than 11:00a.m. (Macau SAR time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Funding Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice given by Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Loan Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on such Funding Date in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Swing Line Loans (in each case, the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”), then (x) in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have delivered a Borrowing Notice in accordance with clause (iii) and (y) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Revolving Loan Lender of the amount requested, each Revolving Loan Lender shall deposit in an account specified by the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share of the amount so requested in same day funds and such funds shall be applied by the Swing Line Lender to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loans. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to the Borrower in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of such Pro Rata Share, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of the Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of the Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to the Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender. The 

98

Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; and (2) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

2.11          Refinancing Amendments. The Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Affiliates thereof or any other Person (other than a natural Person), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Loans or Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this subsection 2.11 will be deemed to include any then outstanding New Term Loans, New Term Loan Commitments, New Revolving Loans, New Revolving Loan Commitments, Other Loans or Other Commitments), in the form of Other Loans or Other Commitments in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Any Other Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, and such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the lenders thereof. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements generally consistent with those delivered on the 2016 Restatement Date under subsection 7 of the 2016 Amendment Agreement (which in the case of legal opinions, take into account changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change 

99

to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this subsection 2.11 shall (i) be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000 (or $10,000,000, in the case of revolving loans) and (ii) (x) with respect to any Other Loans or Other Commitments in the case of any Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments being refinanced, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (y) with respect to any Other Loans or Other Commitments in the case of any Term Loans being refinanced, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date of, and will have a weighted average life to maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced; provided that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the applicable Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Borrower or other Loan Parties or the provision to the Borrower of swing line loans pursuant to any Other Commitments established thereby, in each case, on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans with the existing Revolving Credit Facility. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment without the consent of any other Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans and/or Other Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this subsection 2.11 and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment. This subsection 2.11 shall supersede any other provisions in this Agreement (including subsections 2.7 and subsection 10.6) to the contrary.

2.12          Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including, but not limited to, any amendment, waiver or consent, provided that such Defaulting Lender’s consent shall be required in connection with any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of this Agreement that would to the extent that such modification would increase the amount of or extend the maturity of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments hereunder) with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents that requires the approval of Requisite Lenders or all affected lenders. During any Default Period with respect to a Defaulting Lender (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 2.3; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to its Loans and Commitments under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, voluntary and mandatory prepayments, interest and fees) may, in lieu of being distributed to such 

100

Defaulting Lender, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, be retained by the Administrative Agent and applied in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and to collateralize indemnification and reimbursement obligations of such Defaulting Lender in an amount reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender, third, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender, fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against the Defaulting Lender as a result of the Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and sixth, to the payment of the Term Loans and Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender; (c) (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Revolving Loan commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Loan commitment fee pursuant to subsection 2.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (ii) such Defaulting Lender’s New Term Loan Commitments and outstanding Term Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Term Loan commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection 2.12, performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or the operation of this subsection 2.12. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this subsection 2.12 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender as a result of it becoming a Defaulting Lender and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this subsection 2.12 shall alter in any way the Borrower’s obligations to repay any Defaulting Lender for Loans that it has actually funded. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the existence of any Funds Defaulting Lender or Insolvency Defaulting Lender.

2.13          Removal of Defaulting Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting 

101

Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; then, with respect to each such Defaulting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.1 and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Insolvency Defaulting Lender, and the Funds Defaulting Lender (if not also an Insolvency Defaulting Lender) shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided, (x) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed by such Terminated Lender, pay to such Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (2) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (3) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to subsection 2.3; (y) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to subsection 2.6D and subsection 2.7 or otherwise then due and payable to such Terminated Lender under any Loan Document as if it were a prepayment; provided, Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or issued by a new Issuing Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with subsection 10.1. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with subsection 10.1 on behalf of a Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1. For the avoidance of doubt, any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Section 3.          Letters of Credit.

3.1          Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations Therein.

A.          Letters of Credit. The Borrower may request, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that an Issuing Lender issue 

102

Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or another Loan Party for the purposes specified in the definitions of Commercial Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, the Issuing Lenders shall issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided that the Borrower shall not request that any Issuing Lender issue (and no Issuing Lender shall issue):

(i)          any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(ii)         any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $300,000,000;

(iii)        any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (b) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (unless the Issuing Lender agrees to issue a Letter of Credit with an expiration date which is more than one year from the date of its issuance); provided that the immediately preceding clause (b) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period; and provided, further that such Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Standby Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time such Issuing Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension;

(iv)        any Commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration date (a) later than the earlier of (X) the date which is 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (Y) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (b) that is otherwise unacceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion; or

(v)         any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, HK Dollars or Patacas;

provided further, that if any Revolving Loan Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage.

B.          Mechanics of Issuance.

(i)          Notice of Issuance. Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (Macau SAR time) at least three Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of 

103

the proposed date of issuance. The Issuance Notice shall specify (a) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (b) whether the Letter of Credit is to be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit, (c) the currency and face amount of the Letter of Credit, (d) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (e) the name and address of the beneficiary, (f) either the verbatim text of the proposed Letter of Credit or the proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise description of any documents to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Lender to make payment under the Letter of Credit and (g) the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any such documents; and provided, further, that no Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of the Issuing Lender to which such draft is required to be presented is located) that such draft is presented if such presentation is made after 10:00 a.m. (in the time zone of such office of the Issuing Lender) on such business day.

The Borrower shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and the Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which the Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Issuance Notice is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which the Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Issuance Notice.

(ii)         Determination of Issuing Lender. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Issuance Notice pursuant to subsection 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such Issuance Notice to all Issuing Lenders, requesting that the applicable Issuing Lender issue such Letter of Credit. Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in subsection 4.3, the Lender so requested to issue such Letter of Credit shall promptly issue such Letter of Credit, and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto.

(iii)        Issuance of Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the applicable Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures.

(iv)        Notification to Lenders. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each other Revolving Loan Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is the Issuing Lender, together with such notice), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit, determined in accordance with subsection 3.1C.

(v)         Reports to Lenders. Within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date, so long as any Letter of Credit shall have been outstanding during 

104

such calendar quarter, each Issuing Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth for such calendar quarter the daily aggregate amount available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that were outstanding during such calendar quarter.

C.          Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.

3.2          Letter of Credit Fees.

The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

(i)          with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, (a) without duplication of any amounts payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to the Agent’s Fee Letter, a fronting fee, payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Standby Letter of Credit (or such lesser amount agreed by the Issuing Lender) and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, equal to the product of (y) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Loans and (z) the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Standby Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) each Quarterly Date and, if applicable, on the date of any termination or expiration of such Standby Letter of Credit and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed;

(ii)         with respect to each Commercial Letter of Credit, (a) without duplication of any amounts payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to the Agent’s Fee Letter, a fronting fee, payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Commercial Letter of Credit (or such lesser amount agreed by the Issuing Lender) and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, equal to the product of (y) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Loans, and (z) the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Commercial Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee or letter of credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) each Quarterly Date and, if applicable, on the date of any termination or expiration of such Commercial Letter of Credit and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed; and

(iii)        with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable under clauses (i) and (ii) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

105

For purposes of calculating any fees payable under clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection 3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined in Dollars (with the amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit denominated in HK Dollars or Patacas to be converted into Dollars for purposes of this subsection 3.2 at the 2014 Restatement Date FX Rate) as of the close of business on any date of determination. Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(b) or (ii)(b) of this subsection 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.

3.3          Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

A.          Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

B.          Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event an Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such honored drawing. In the case of any such payment in Dollars of a Letter of Credit denominated in another currency, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (Macau SAR time) on the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Borrowing Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting the Revolving Loan Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such honored drawing and the Revolving Loan Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided, further, that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.

106

C.          Payment by Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i)          Payment by Lenders. In the event that the Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each other Revolving Loan Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such other Revolving Loan Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall make available to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Macau SAR time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of such Issuing Lender is located) after the date notified by such Issuing Lender. In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make available to such Issuing Lender on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender.

(ii)         Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From the Borrower. In the event any Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such honored drawing such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by such Issuing Lender from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request.

D.          Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i)          Payment of Interest by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, with respect to drawings honored under any Letters of Credit issued by it, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by the Borrower (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect 

107

to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest payable pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

(ii)         Distribution of Interest Payments by Issuing Lender. Promptly upon receipt by any Issuing Lender of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a drawing honored under a Letter of Credit issued by it, (a) such Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender, out of the interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which such Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such other Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the event such Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such honored drawing, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such honored drawing such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by other Lenders for the period from the date on which such Issuing Lender was so reimbursed by other Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Borrower. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request.

3.4          Obligations Absolute.

The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3B and the obligations of Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:

(i)          any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(ii)         the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or other Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii)        any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

108

(vii)       any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or

(viii)      the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

3.5          Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties.

A.          Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as provided in subsection 3.6, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

B.          Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties. As between the Borrower and any Issuing Lender, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit 

109

to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5B, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 3.5, the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.6          Increased Costs and Taxes Relating to Letters of Credit.

Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7C (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Issuing Lender or Lender or (as the case may be) any of their direct or indirect parents shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Change in Law, or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof:

(i)          subjects such Issuing Lender or Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents) to any additional Tax (other than any Excluded Tax or an Included Tax which is indemnified under subsection 2.7C) with respect to the issuing or maintaining of any Letters of Credit or the purchasing or maintaining of any participations therein or any other obligations under this Section 3, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by any particular Issuing Lender;

(ii)         imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participations therein purchased by any Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents; or

(iii)        imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Issuing Lender or Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office or 

110

(as the case may be) its direct and indirect parents) regarding this Section 3 or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Lender or Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Issuing Lender or Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents) with respect thereto; then, in any case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender or Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct or indirect parents, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct and indirect parents for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Issuing Lender or Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct and indirect parents shall deliver to the Borrower a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Issuing Lender or Lender or (as the case may be) any of its direct and indirect parents under this subsection 3.6, which statement shall be prima facie evidence of the matters set forth therein.

C.          Ownership of the Company. The equity interests in the Company are duly authorized, validly issued and (if applicable) fully paid and nonassessable and, as of the 2016 Restatement Date, none of such equity interests constitute Margin Stock.

115

breach or default has occurred by any party other than the Borrower, the Company, the Macau SAR or a Loan Party under any Material Contract (other than the Gaming Concession Contract and the Land Concession Contract, which are covered by the preceding sentence and not this sentence), in each case unless the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5          Title to Properties; Liens; Real Property.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have (i) good marketable fee simple title to (in the case of fee interests in real property), (ii) valid leasehold interests in (in the case of leasehold interests in real or personal property) and (iii) good title to (in the case of all other personal property), all of their respective material properties and assets reflected in the financial statements referred to in subsection 5.3 or in the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1, in each case except for assets disposed of since the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted under subsection 7.7. Except as permitted by this Agreement, all such properties and assets are held free and clear of Liens.

As of the 2016 Restatement Date, each agreement listed in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect and the Company and the Borrower do not have knowledge of any material default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder, and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the applicable Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles except to the extent that the failure of such agreement to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Property, the material Easements thereto and the current use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements and with all Insurance Requirements. No taking or voluntary conveyance of all or part of any Property, or any interest therein or right accruing thereto or use thereof, as the result of, or in settlement of, any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding by any Governmental Instrumentality affecting any Project has been commenced or, to the Company’s or Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Property or Easement or for the relocation of roadways providing access thereto except, in each case, as could not, individually or collectively, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as could not, individually or collectively, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no building or structure relating to or comprising a portion of any Project or any appurtenance thereto or equipment thereon, or the use, operation or maintenance thereof, violates any restrictive covenant or encroaches on any easement or on any property owned by others.

5.6          Litigation; Adverse Facts.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, as of the 2016 Restatement Date there are no actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (including any Environmental Claims) that are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without prejudice to subsection 5.21, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at law or in equity, or before or by any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (including any Environmental Claims) that are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7          Payment of Taxes.

Except to the extent permitted by subsection 6.3 or as set forth on Schedule 5.7, and except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, all Tax returns and reports of the Company or any other Loan Party required to be filed by such Person have been timely filed, all taxes shown on such Tax returns to be due and payable and all material assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Company or any other Loan Party and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable, except Taxes or assessments that are

being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings in accordance with subsection 6.3 and for which the Company, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or the IFRS, as applicable. The Company and the Borrower know of no material Tax assessment against the Company or any other Loan Party except for those for which reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP or the IFRS, as applicable, shall have been made or provided therefor.

5.8          Performance of Agreements; Materially Adverse Agreements; Material Contracts.

A.          None of the Company or any other Loan Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual Obligations, no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, except where the consequences of such default or defaults, if any, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

B.          Schedule 5.8 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts in effect on the 2016 Restatement Date.

None of the Company or any other Loan Party is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 or the Federal Power Act or required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or subject to regulation under any other U.S. federal or state, or Macau SAR statute or regulation which, in each case, would limit its ability to incur Indebtedness other than as is addressed by the Gaming Concession Contract, the Land Concession Contracts and Macau Gaming Law, or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Incurrence of the Obligations under the Loan Documents complies with all applicable provisions of Gaming Concession Contract and the Land Concession Contracts.  To the extent applicable, each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (i) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (ii) Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and (iii) any Anti-Bribery and Conflict of Interest Laws. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, by any Loan Party for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extension made to any Loan Party will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock or for any other purpose that, in each case, violates Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

5.11          Employee Benefit Plans.

A.          Except as could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the regulations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified.

B.          No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur which has resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

C.          Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code or as set forth on Schedule 5.11, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.16          Matters Relating to Collateral.

A.          Creation, Perfection and Priority of Liens. The execution and delivery of the Collateral Documents by the Loan Parties, together with the actions taken on or prior to the 2016 Restatement Date pursuant to the 2014 Credit Agreement, the 2015 Joinder Agreement and the Amendment Agreements, are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Obligations, subject to exceptions contained herein, in the Security Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on all of the Collateral, and all filings and other actions necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection and priority status of such Liens have been duly made or taken and remain in full force and effect, other than the filing of any UCC financing statements delivered to the Collateral Agent for filing (but not yet filed), the registration of each Floating Charge with the Macau Companies Registry in respect of each business ‘establishment’ maintained by any Loan Party from time to time, the filing of the Pledge Over Intellectual Property with the Trademark Bureau of the Economy Department of Macau SAR and the Pledge over Gaming Equipment and Utensils with the Macau Companies Registry, the delivery of certain notices and receipt of certain acknowledgements as contemplated by any supplements to the Macau Collateral Account Agreements in respect of accounts opened by any Loan Party from time to time, the delivery of certain notices, receipt of certain acknowledgements and receipt of certain Contract Consents as contemplated by the Assignment of Rights and as permitted hereunder not to be obtained, and the periodic filing of UCC continuation statements in respect of UCC financing statements filed by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent.

121

grant by the Loan Parties of the Liens purported to be created in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies in respect of any Collateral (whether specifically granted or created pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or the Assignment of Reinsurances or created or provided for by applicable law), except for filings or recordings contemplated by subsection 5.16A or as set forth in Schedule 5.16B.

C.          Absence of Third-Party Filings. Except such as may have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as contemplated by subsection 5.16A or filed to perfect a Permitted Lien, no effective UCC financing statement, fixture filing or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any filing or recording office.

D.          Information Regarding Collateral. All information supplied to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by or on behalf of any Loan Party with respect to any of the Collateral (in each case taken as a whole with respect to any particular Collateral) is accurate and complete in all material respects.

5.17          Sufficiency of Interests, Project Documents and Permits.

A.          Sufficiency. Other than those services to be performed and materials to be supplied that can be reasonably expected to be commercially available when and as required, the Company owns (or holds under lease) all of the materials, has obtained or contracted to obtain all services and has entered into all documents and agreements necessary as of the date this representation is made or deemed made to develop, construct, complete, own and operate the Projects (other than the Cotai Strip Infrastructure Project), each in accordance with all Legal Requirements. All conditions precedent to the obligations of the respective parties (other than any Loan Party) under the Material Contracts have been satisfied, except for such conditions precedent the failure of which to be satisfied as of the date this representation is made or deemed made could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

B.          Permits. All material Permits in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the initial Credit Extensions hereunder and in respect of the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Casinos and the approvals and consents required under the Gaming Concession Contract and the Land Concession Contracts required to have been obtained by the 2014 Restatement Date are listed on Schedule 5.17B.

5.18          Excluded Subsidiaries.

Other than as set forth on Schedule 5.18, as of the date hereof, none of the Excluded Subsidiaries owns or leases any assets (real or personal, tangible or intangible (including intellectual property rights)) that are material to the business and operation of the Company.

5.19          Accuracy of Information.

None of the factual information (other than appraisals, projections, pro forma financial information and forward looking statements and statements of a general economic nature as to which no representation is made under this subsection), taken as a whole, furnished by or on 

122

behalf of any Loan Party in writing to any Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender for inclusion in the Confidential Information Memorandum delivered to the Lenders, at the time such information was so furnished, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make such information, taken as a whole, not misleading.

The Loan Parties own all of the material property interests and have entered into all documents and agreements necessary to develop, construct, complete, own and operate the Projects (other than the Cotai Strip Infrastructure Project) in accordance with all Legal Requirements and as contemplated in the Loan Documents, other than those services to be performed and materials and equipment to be supplied and/or constructed that can be reasonably expected to be commercially available when and as required. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section is not intended to address Permits, as the representations regarding Permits are addressed under subsection 5.17.

B.          As of the 2014 Restatement Date and as of each Funding Date thereafter, the Land Concession Contracts create a valid and subsisting provisional or definitive, as the case may be, leasehold interest in the Property leased under such contracts by the Company, the Cotai Subsidiary and VOL, as applicable, subject only to Permitted Liens.

The provisions of this paragraph are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit the Borrower, and such provisions shall not at any time be construed so as to grant the Borrower the right to require Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of the Loan Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

Section 9.          Agents and Arrangers.

9.1          Appointment.

A.          Appointment of the Administrative Agent. BOC is hereby confirmed to act as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby confirms its authorization for the Administrative Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 (other than the second proviso to the first sentence of subsection 9.6, the second sentence of subsection 9.5 and the first sentence of subsection 9.7) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely by and on behalf of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for SCL, Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

B.          Appointment of Collateral Agent. BOC has entered into the Collateral Agency Agreement, whereby the Collateral Agent was appointed to act on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders solely with respect to the Collateral. Each Lender hereby confirms its authorization for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter 

176

into the Collateral Agency Agreement, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement.

(i)  Each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in the Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by the Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by the Collateral Agent for vesting in and confirming to it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon reasonable request by such Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent. In case any Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Collateral Agent.

9.2          Powers and Duties; General Immunity.

A.          Powers; Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide any notices, reports, financial statements or other information required to be delivered by the Company, the Borrower, or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent any such other sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is 

177

used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

B.          No Responsibility for Certain Matters. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of SCL, the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any Lender or any person providing the Settlement Service to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of SCL, the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

C.          Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, including any Settlement Confirmation or other communication issued by any Settlement Service, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (including, without limitation, attorneys for SCL, the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6).

178

D.          Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with SCL, the Parent, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from SCL, the Parent, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

E.          Administrative Agent Determinations. To the extent the Administrative Agent is entitled or required to make any determinations under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any intercreditor agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) request instructions from the Requisite Lenders.

F.          Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents (including the Collateral Agent) appointed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such other sub-agent. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such other sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this subsection 9.2 and of subsection 9.4 shall apply to any Affiliates of the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.2 and of Section 9.4 shall apply to the Collateral Agent any such other sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to the Collateral Agent and each other sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of Administrative Agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

179

9.3          Representations and Warranties; No Responsibility for Appraisal of Credit Worthiness.

Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of SCL, the Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of SCL, the Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and none of the Arrangers or the Agents shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

9.4          Right to Indemnity.

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each other sub-agent to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, and without limiting is obligation to do so, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and any other sub-agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or sub-agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s, or any other sub-agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any other sub-agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

9.5          Successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (provided that (i) such successor is or simultaneously therewith becomes a Lender, and (ii) so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such successor is reasonably acceptable to Borrower); provided further, however, in the event Administrative Agent resigns, Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint an Affiliate of 

180

Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent without obtaining the consent of Requisite Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Any resignation or removal of BOC or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of BOC or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (a) the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to the Borrower for cancellation, and (c) the Borrower shall issue, if so requested by successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document, the Assignment of Reinsurances and each Guaranty as secured party or beneficiary (as applicable), and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each Collateral Document and Guaranty; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document or Guaranty or the Assignment of Reinsurances, or (ii) release any Collateral (except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agency Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document or the Assignment of Reinsurances), in each case without the prior consent of Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to subsection 10.6, all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (and at the request of a Loan Party shall) execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Subsidiary from the Guaranty to the extent the stock of such Restricted Subsidiary is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or otherwise consented to by the Lenders in accordance with subsection 10.6 or such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (ii) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or required to be released by the terms of any other Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien or pursuant to any intercreditor arrangement entered into by the Administrative Agent and an agent or lender under a FF&E Facility pursuant to the terms hereof or to which the Lenders have otherwise consented in accordance with subsection 10.6, (iii) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such Collateral permitted under clauses (xiv)

In connection with any disposition or release of any Collateral pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, at the Company’s request and expense, the Collateral Agent shall (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) execute and deliver to the Company such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as the Company may reasonably request to evidence or effect such disposition or release. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (X) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents, the Assignment of Reinsurances and each Guaranty may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (Y) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.

9.7          Intercreditor Agreements.

Each Lender hereby further authorizes, or confirms its authorization for, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into the Collateral Agency Agreement, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and intercreditor agreements with any holders of any secured Indebtedness permitted to be incurred hereunder or otherwise consented to by the Lenders in accordance with subsection 10.6 and any amendments to the foregoing, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement and each such intercreditor agreement or amendment.

182

Requisite Lenders (or, if such amendment, modification, termination or waiver would result in a change that under subsection 10.6 would require the consent of all Lenders, then the prior consent of all Lenders).

10.1          Assignments and Participations in Loans.

A.          General. Subject to subsection 10.1B, each Lender shall have the right at any time to (i) sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee, or (ii) sell participations to any Eligible Assignee or any other Person (and in the case of any other Person, with the approval of the Borrower) in all or any part of its Commitments or any Loan or Loans made by it or its participations in Letters of Credit or any other interest herein or in any other Obligations owed to it; provided that no such sale, assignment or transfer described in clause (i) above shall be effective unless and until an Assignment Agreement or Settlement Confirmation effecting such sale, assignment or transfer shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in subsection 10.1B(ii) and provided, further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any participation in any Letter of Credit may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Commitment and the Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 10.1, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitments or the Loans, the Letters of Credit or participations therein, or the other Obligations owed to such Lender; and provided further, that any such Eligible Assignee shall have complied with the requirements of subsection 2.7 including subsection 2.7C(vii), and provided further that the Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to claim an amount in excess of that which would be payable to or for the account of the transferring Lender as of the effective date of any such sale, assignment or transfer in respect of Included Taxes pursuant to subsection 

183

2.7C (but without prejudice to the right of any Lender or Affiliate to later assert any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to any such Included Taxes occurring after the date of such sale, assignment or transfer).

B.          Assignments.

(i)          Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Each Commitment, Loan, participation in a Letter of Credit, or other Obligation may in whole or in part (a) be assigned, in any amount to an Eligible Assignee that is a Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Approved Fund, provided that the provisions of this clause (a) shall not apply to any Affiliate of the Borrower to the extent that such Affiliate becomes a Lender as a result of the provisions of subsection 10.1I, (b) be assigned in an aggregate amount of not less than $2,000,000 (or such lesser amount if contemporaneous assignments approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion aggregating not less than $2,000,000 are being made by one or more Eligible Assignees which are Affiliates, provided that related Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignor or assignee in determining compliance with such minimum assignment amount) to any Eligible Assignee that is not at such time a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender with the giving of notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that with respect to any assignment permitted by this clause (b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have provided prior consent to such assignment, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed and to be deemed given unless the Borrower has notified the assigning Lender of its objection to such proposed transfer within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of a request for such consent or (c) with respect to assignments of Term Loans to the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of subsection 10.1I, be assigned in an aggregate amount of not less than the amount specified in subsection 10.1I(ii) with the giving of prompt notice to the Administrative Agent. To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with clause (a), (b) and (c) above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein, or other Obligations or the portion thereof so assigned. The assignor or assignee to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,000 in respect of assignments, and in each case such documentation or other information, if any, with respect to Included Taxes as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7C(vii); provided, however, only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds, and in the event that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines that the Term Loans may be settled through a Settlement Service (defined below) pursuant to subsection 10.1C, only a written or electronic confirmation of such assignment issued by a Settlement Service (a “Settlement Confirmation”) shall be delivered with respect to assignments settled through the Settlement Service. In the case of any assignment to an Affiliate of the Company permitted pursuant to the definition of Eligible Assignee, such Assignment Agreement may (but shall not be required to), as mutually agreed by the assignor and the assignee, contain a representation that the assignee has no MNPI. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recordation, from and after the Assignment Effective Date, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment 

184

Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.10B) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement or, if applicable, Settlement Confirmation covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is the Issuing Lender with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit such Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder). The Commitments hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any remaining Commitment of such assigning Lender and, if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of Notes hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall be issued to the assignee and to the assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and the assigning Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, an Affiliate of the Company (other than a Subsidiary of the Company) may be an assignee pursuant to subsection 10.1B.

(ii)          Acceptance by the Administrative Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of (x) an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee or Eligible Affiliate Purchaser, or (y) if applicable, a Settlement Confirmation representing that the assignee is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) if applicable, and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to income tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7C(vii), the Administrative Agent shall, if the Administrative Agent has consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement or, if applicable, Settlement Confirmation by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of the Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register (on the same Business Day as it is received if received by 12:00p.m. (Macau SAR time) and on the following Business Day if received after such time) and (c) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement and, if applicable, Settlement Confirmation delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii). The date of such execution of a counterpart or recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”

C.          Settlement Service Mechanics. Except for assignments of Term Loans pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of subsection 10.1I, the Administrative Agent has the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Term Loans (other than New Term Loans) via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning 

185

Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 10.1. Each assignor Lender and proposed assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any transfer of Loans pursuant to the Settlement Service. The Administrative Agent’s consent (but not the Borrower’s consent) shall be deemed to have been granted to the extent required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i) with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of Term Loans shall be effected by such manual execution until the Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. Assignments and assumptions of Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments shall only be effected by manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement at all times. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Assignment Agreement to the contrary and so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments in respect of the settlement of an assignment of any Term Loans during periods when assignments may be settled through a Settlement Service (but not any Revolving Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment) and with respect to all unpaid interest and commitment fees if any, which have accrued on such Term Loans whether such interest and commitment fees accrued before or after the applicable Assignment Effective Date, shall be made in the manner provided for by the Settlement Service. Any and all fees payable to the Settlement Service shall be paid by the assigning Lender and/or its assignee which becomes a Lender hereunder and the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility whatsoever for payment thereof.

D.          Participations. The holder of any participation, other than an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date or any scheduled date for principal payments under subsection 2.4A of any Loan allocated to such participation, (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation, or (iii) releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral, and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder (including amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to subsections 2.6D and 2.7) shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. The Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of subsections 10.4 and 10.5, (a) any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant and (b) the participant shall be considered to be a “Lender”.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to 

186

the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

E.          Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks and Trustees. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, (i) any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or (ii) any Lender may pledge all or any portion of its Loans, Commitments, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes, to its creditors or to its trustee (solely in its capacity as trustee) or other representative in support of its obligations to such creditor or trustee; provided that (i) no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or such creditor or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

F.          Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.20.

G.          Representations of Lenders. Each Lender party hereto hereby represents and warrants as of the 2016 Restatement Date, or as of the applicable Assignment Effective Date, or as of the date of the Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee or Eligible Affiliate Purchaser; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of and/or investing in loans such as the Loans; and (iii) it will make its Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). Each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement or, if applicable, a Settlement Confirmation shall be deemed to agree that the representations and warranties of such Lender contained in subsection 2(c) of such Assignment Agreement or, if applicable, Settlement Confirmation are incorporated herein by this reference; provided that the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that is an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall only be required to make the representations and warranties set forth in clause (i) of this subsection 10.1G, in addition to all other representations and warranties of such Affiliate contained in the Auction Assignment Agreement.

H.          Subject to Gaming Authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 10.1, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, any or all of its Commitments or any Loan or Letter of Credit made or issued by it, or any interest therein, herein or in any other Obligations owed to any such Lender, shall be subject to the approval of any applicable gaming authorities, to the extent required by law and to the extent failure to obtain such approval could jeopardize the Gaming License or any other gaming licenses of the Company or any of its parents or Affiliates.

187

I.          Assignments to Eligible Affiliate Purchasers.

(i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 10.1 or any other provision of any Loan Document, any Eligible Affiliate Purchaser may, pursuant to an Auction Assignment Agreement, purchase Term Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection 10.1I and the Outline of Auction Mechanics attached hereto as Exhibit T, so long as (v) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (w) such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser agrees to, and does in fact, on each Auction Purchase Effective Date, without receiving any payment or other consideration from Borrower in exchange therefor (including any accrued yet unpaid interest that may have been owing in respect of such cancelled Term Loans) if such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Borrower, (1) immediately and irrevocably cancel, forever discharge and, in the case of an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser that is an Affiliate of the Borrower, forgive, the Term Loans purchased by and assigned to it in each Auction Loan Purchase for all purposes and (2) knowingly and voluntarily waive and relinquish (a) all of its interests, rights and obligations as the owner of such Term Loans and as a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) any rights it may have to invoke any such interests, rights and obligations or the provisions of the this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to such Term Loans now or in the future, (x) such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser purchases the Term Loans that are the subject of such Auction Loan Purchase by transferring the agreed purchase price (including any accrued yet unpaid interest owing in respect of such cancelled Term Loans through but not including the applicable Auction Purchase Effective Date) directly to each assigning Lender, and (y) such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser has delivered to each of the Auction Manager and Borrower a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U (the “Auction Certificate”), dated as of each Auction Purchase Effective Date and signed by a duly authorized officer of such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser, certifying to the matters set forth in clauses (v) – (x) above.

(ii)         Any Eligible Affiliate Purchaser may provide notice to the Auction Manager in the form of an Offer Document that it wishes to make one or more offers (each, an “Offer”) to Lenders to purchase outstanding Term Loans, with such Offer to be effected pursuant to Auction Assignment Agreements. Such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall have the right to purchase the Term Loans at a purchase price determined in accordance with the terms set forth in such Offer Document; provided that the aggregate stated principal amount of all Term Loans for which Offers are made in any Offer Document shall not be less than $25,000,000; provided, further, that the aggregate stated principal amount of all Term Loans assigned to any Eligible Affiliate Purchaser by a Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.1I(ii) in response to the Offers contained in a single Offer Document shall not be less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all tranches of Term Loans Offered by such Lender in such Offer Document, which amount shall be reduced to the extent necessary to reflect (1) the fact that such assignment includes all Term Loans held by the assigning Lender and (2) the proration of such Term Loans offered by the assigning Lender in the event a pro rata allocation is made as contemplated in the Offer Document.

(iii)        In connection with any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.1I, each of the assigning Lenders, on the one hand, and the Eligible Affiliate Purchaser, on the other hand, shall acknowledge and agree that, as of the Auction Purchase Effective Date, (A) each 

188

Auction Loan Purchase to which it is a party and the assignment related thereto are being made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this subsection 10.1I, (B) the Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall either (i) represent and warrant as of the Auction Purchase Effective Date that such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser has no material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to any Loan Party that both (x) has not been disclosed to the applicable Lenders (other than because any such Lender does not wish to receive MNPI with respect to any Loan Party) prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment, or (ii) state that it will not make such representation, (C) it has independently and without reliance on the other party to the Auction Assignment Agreement made its own analysis and determined to enter into the Auction Assignment Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby and (D) the other party shall have no liability to it.

(iv)        By submitting an Offer Document, an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall acknowledge and agree that it will make payment of the purchase price for the purchased Term Loans, as may be accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer Document, directly to the assigning Lender in accordance with the terms of the Offer Document.

(v)         On each Auction Purchase Effective Date, the Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall without receiving any payment or other consideration from Borrower in exchange therefor (including any accrued yet unpaid interest that may have been owing in respect of such cancelled Term Loans), (i) immediately and irrevocably cancel, forever discharge and, in the case of an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser that is an Affiliate of the Borrower, forgive, the Term Loans purchased by and assigned to it in each Auction Loan Purchase for all purposes and (ii) knowingly and voluntarily waive and relinquish (y) all of its interests, rights and obligations as the owner of such Term Loans and as a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (z) any rights it may have to invoke any such interests, rights and obligations or the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to such Term Loans now or in the future. Such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall further acknowledge and agree that the cancellation of the Term Loans purchased by and assigned to it in each Auction Loan Purchase is an essential term of, and condition to, each Auction Loan Purchase and the assignment by the assigning Lenders of any Term Loans to such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser.

(vi)        Assignment of any Auction Loan Purchases shall be effective upon receipt by the Auction Manager of a fully executed Auction Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment thereof and upon receipt by Administrative Agent of a copy thereof for recording in the Register. Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register by Administrative Agent on the Business Day the Auction Assignment Agreement is received by the Auction Manager, if received by 1:00 p.m. (Macau SAR time), and on the following Business Day if received after such time. Prompt notice thereof shall be provided to such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser and a copy of such Auction Assignment Agreement shall be retained by Administrative Agent. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Auction Purchase Effective Date.”

(vii)       Each of the assigning Lenders and the Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the purchase price of the purchased Term Loans that 

189

has been agreed between such assigning Lender and such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser, such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall pay directly to such assigning Lender all unpaid interest, if any, accrued on the purchased Term Loans to but excluding the Auction Purchase Effective Date applicable thereto. No interest shall accrue or be payable on such purchased Term Loans from and after the Auction Purchase Effective Date and any Term Loans owned by such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall immediately upon receipt of such Term Loans by such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled and no longer outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (notwithstanding any provisions herein or therein to the contrary), including, without limitation, (w) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including with respect to accrued interest), (x) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (y) the providing of any rights to such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser in its capacity as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (z) the determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no such purchased Term Loan may be further assigned, transferred, contributed, conveyed or resold by such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser. Without limiting the foregoing, such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser (in its capacity as an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser) shall not, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Auction Assignment Agreement, have or be entitled to any of the rights set forth in subsections 10.1B and 10.1D. Each of the Borrower and the Eligible Affiliate Purchaser shall expressly consent to the provisions of this paragraph.

(viii)      For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Eligible Affiliate Purchaser to make any payment to a Lender required by an Auction Assignment Agreement permitted by this subsection 10.I shall not constitute an Event of Default under subsection 8.3. For the avoidance of doubt, any extinguishment of any part of the Term Loans shall not affect any amendment or waiver which prior to such extinguishment had been approved by or on behalf of the Requisite Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

(ix)        The provisions of this subsection 10.1I shall not require any Eligible Affiliate Purchaser to undertake or consummate any Offer; provided that to the extent an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser undertakes to consummate any Offer, it shall, subject to the preceding conditions and the terms and conditions contained in the applicable Offer, purchase (and take all the necessary steps required herein to purchase) the principal amount of all validly tendered Term Loans at a price not to exceed the Applicable Threshold Price and in an aggregate amount up to the Maximum Offer Amount; provided, further, that to the extent no Lenders have validly tendered any Term Loans requested in an Offer or as otherwise agreed to by the Auction Manager, in its sole discretion, such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser may revoke, withdraw or amend the Offer for such Term Loans at least 24 hours before the Expiration Time. In addition, such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser may extend the Expiration Time of an Offer at least 24 hours before the Expiration Time, provided, however, that only one extension per Offer shall be permitted, which shall be for a period not exceeding five Business Days. Furthermore, if such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser has amended an Offer, the Auction Manager shall have the discretion to extend the applicable Expiration Time, upon notification to such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser, for an additional period to afford all Lenders the necessary time to consider such amendments.

190

(x)         All Term Loans assigned to an Eligible Affiliate Purchaser pursuant to subsection 10.1I shall be, as set forth above, immediately cancelled and, therefore, no Term Loans assigned to such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this subsection 10.1I may be further assigned, transferred, contributed, conveyed or resold by such Eligible Affiliate Purchaser.

10.2        Expenses.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Company agrees to pay promptly (i) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of preparation of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto; (ii) all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Loan Parties (including any opinions requested by Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder) and of the Company’s and the Borrower’s performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including with respect to confirming compliance with environmental, insurance and solvency requirements; (iii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Syndication Agents in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Loan Documents (subject to the terms of the separate letter outlining the payment of legal fees and costs and expenses) and the reasonable legal, engineering and other fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to any Loan Documents (whether or not effective or executed) and any other documents or matters requested by the Company (with respect to the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Amendment Agreements, subject to subsection 14 of the 2014 Amendment Agreement and subsection 13 of the 2016 Amendment Agreement); (iv) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of Lenders pursuant to any Collateral Document, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Agents and of counsel providing any opinions that the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Requisite Lenders may request in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Liens created pursuant thereto; (v) all the actual costs and reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants or appraisers and any environmental or other consultants, advisors and agents employed or retained by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or their respective counsel) of obtaining and reviewing any appraisals provided for under any Loan Documents, any environmental audits or reports provided for under subsection 6.7D; (vi) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; (vii) all other actual and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with the syndication of the 2014 Restatement Date Revolving Loan Commitments and the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Loan Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (viii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by the Agents and the Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by reason of such Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other 

191

realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of any Loan Document) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

10.3        Indemnity.

A.          In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each of the Company and the Borrower agrees to defend (subject to the Indemnitee’s selection of counsel after consultation with the Borrower), indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and Lenders and the officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents, trustees, advisors and affiliates of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that each of the Company and the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (but this provisions shall not limit, negate or impair in any way the obligations of any Loan Party to all other Indemnitees).

As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs (including the costs of any investigation, study, sampling, testing, abatement, cleanup, removal, remediation or other response action necessary to remove, remediate, clean up or abate any Hazardous Materials Activity), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) the Confidential Information Memorandum and other information supplied by the Loans Parties, (ii) any Operative Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the use or intended use of any thereof, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty), (iii) the statements contained in the engagement or commitment letter delivered by any Arranger, Agent or Lender to the Borrower or the Company with respect thereto, or (iv) any Environmental Claim or any Hazardous Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

192

To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this subsection 10.3A may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, each of the Company and, from and after the 2014 Restatement Date, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts or the Excluded Bank Accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to that Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. Effective as of the Closing Date, the Borrower hereby further grants to the Collateral Agent and each Lender a security interest in all deposits and accounts (other than any trust accounts or the Excluded Bank Accounts) maintained with the Collateral Agent or such Lender as security for the Obligations.

10.5        Ratable Sharing.

The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right 

193

of set-off or banker’s Lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s Lien, counterclaim or, subject to subsection 10.4, set-off with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this subsection 10.5 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of cash collateral provided for in the last proviso in subsection 3.1A or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, including pursuant to subsection 10.1I.

10.6        Amendments and Waivers.

A.          No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes or other Loan Documents (other than the Contract Consents), and no consent to any departure by the Loan Parties therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders (or the Co-Syndication Agents, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent only if this Agreement or such Loan Document expressly so provides); provided, that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, mutual mistake among all parties hereto or thereto, typographical error, defect or inconsistency; provided, further:

194

under the Loan Documents (other than the Contract Consents, the assignment or delegation of rights under which are governed by the provisions of subsection 7.13E); except as contemplated by subsection 2.11, change in any manner the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (it being understood that, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in “Pro Rata Share” and “Requisite Lenders” on substantially the same terms as the Term Loans, the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolving Loans); change in any manner any provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders; postpone any date fixed for the payment in respect of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees hereunder; release any Lien granted in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to 25% or more in fair market value of the Collateral other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (it being understood that the granting of additional Liens on Collateral is not a release of a Lien on such Collateral); release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; or change in any manner the provisions contained in subsections 9.1, 10.5, 10.6 or 2.4C(iii) (provided, that with respect to subsection 2.4C(iii), only the consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby shall be required);

(ii)         that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, unless approved in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Requisite Class Lenders of each Class, do any of the following: alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Facilities pursuant to Section 2.4 without the consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of each Facility which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof (provided, the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Facilities, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered); or amend the definition of “Requisite Class Lenders” (provided, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of such “Requisite Class Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans, the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date);

(iii)        that any such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which increases the amount of the Commitment for any Lender shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of such Lender; and

(iv)        that any release of Liens on Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent with respect to less than 25% in fair market value of the Collateral shall only require the consent of the Requisite Lenders.

B.          In addition, (i) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any of the provisions contained in Section 4 shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders, (ii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of that Note except that to the extent such amendment, modification, termination or waiver would not otherwise require the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby, only the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required hereunder, (iii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of 

195

Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Administrative Agent, (iv) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision hereof relating to the Swing Line Sublimit or the Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Swing Line Lender and (v) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 and this subsection 10.6 directly affecting any Arranger or Co-Syndication Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of such Arranger or Co-Syndication Agent.

C.         The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by the Borrower, on the Borrower.

D.         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender does not agree to any amendment hereunder requiring the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby and consented to by Lenders having or holding at least a majority of the sum of the aggregate Loans and unused Commitment of all Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 10.1, including as a condition precedent to such assignment, (i) Administrative Agent’s consent to the assignee unless not otherwise required by subsection 10.1 and (ii) payment by the Borrower of the registration fee set forth in subsection 10.1B(i), if applicable), all such Lender’s interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received irrevocable payment in full in cash of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (or such lesser amount as agreed to by such Lender), accrued interest thereon, and accrued fees and all other Obligations and other amounts payable to it hereunder (including amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.6D) from the assignee or the Borrower and (ii) such assignment (together with any other assignments pursuant to this subsection 10.6D or otherwise) will result in such amendment being approved.

E.          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 10.6, without the consent of any Lender, the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent may enter into any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any intercreditor agreement) necessary to implement the terms of any (i) Refinancing Amendment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) amendment entered into pursuant to subsection 2.7C.

10.7        Borrower’s Obligations.

[Reserved].

196

10.8        Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.9        Notices.

A.         Notices Generally. Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given to SCL or a Loan Party, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or Lender, shall be sent to such Person’s address as set forth on Schedule 10.9 or in any other relevant Loan Document, and in the case of any Lender, the address as indicated on Schedule 10.9 or otherwise indicated to Administrative Agent in writing. Each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile (except for any notices sent to a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent) or Macau Postal Service, United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided, any such notice or other communication shall at the request of Administrative Agent be provided to any sub-agent appointed pursuant to subsection 9.2F hereto as designated by Administrative Agent from time to time.

B.          Electronic Communications.

(i)          Subject to subsection 10.20, notices and other communications to the Agents and Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and secure Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

197

(ii)         Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii)        Any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Approved Electronic Communications.

(iv)        Each Loan Party, each Lender, the Issuing Lender and each Agent agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

Any notice given under or in connection with any Loan Document must be in English or accompanied by an English translation. All other documents provided under or in connection with any Loan Document must be in English or, if not in English, and if so required by the relevant Agent, accompanied by a certified English translation and, in this case, except with respect to the Foreign Security Agreements, the English translation shall prevail unless the document is a constitutional, statutory or other official document.

10.10      Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

A.         All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder.

B.         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower set forth in subsections 2.6D, 2.7, 3.6, 10.2, 10.3, 10.18, 10.19 and 10.25 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in subsections 9.2C, 9.4, 10.5, 10.19 and 10.20 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.

10.11      Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing 

198

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.12      Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.13      Severability.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.14      Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights.

The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments or representations of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, subject to the fourth sentence of subsection 9.6 and it shall not be necessary for any Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.15      Headings.

Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.18      Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

A.         EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THAT ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER, BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST THE MACAU SAR ARE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE COURTS OF MACAU SAR.

B.          EXCEPT AS SET OUT IN A. ABOVE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE COMPANY OR THE BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN THE CONSENTS), OR ANY OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY COMPETENT COURT OF MACAU SAR. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMPANY AND THE BORROWER, FOR THEMSELVES AND IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY

(i)          ACCEPT GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS;

(ii)        WAIVE ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS;

200

C.          Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Corporate Services Company (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 80 State Street, Albany, NY 12207-2543, as its agent to receive on its behalf and on behalf of its Properties, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process that may be served in any such action or proceeding. No less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of any such appointment in respect of any Loan Party, the Company shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such appointment has been renewed or extended. Service upon the Process Agent shall be deemed to be personal service on the Loan Parties and shall be legal and binding upon the Loan Parties for all purposes notwithstanding any failure to mail copies of such legal process to the Loan Parties, or any failure on the part of the Loan Parties to receive the same.

The Loan Parties further agree that the aforesaid courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any claim or counterclaim of the Loan Parties based upon the assertion that the rate of interest charged by or under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents is usurious. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Loan Parties further irrevocably agree to the service of process of any of the aforementioned courts in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Loan Parties at the addresses referenced in subsection 10.9, such service to be effective upon the date indicated on the postal receipt returned from the Loan Parties.

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER 

201

LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SUBSECTION 10.19 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

10.20      Confidentiality.

Each Agent (which term shall for the purposes of this subsection 10.20 include the Arrangers), and each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this subsection 10.20 include the Issuing Lender) shall hold all non-public information regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates and their businesses and obtained by such Agent or such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent’s and such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking or investment practices, it being understood and agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, the Administrative Agent may disclose such information to the Lenders and each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to other Lenders, each Agent, the other Loan Parties and SCL, (ii) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender to its head office and other branches of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this subsection 10.20), (iii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this subsection 10.20 or other confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as this subsection 10.20), (iv) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates received by such rating agency from any Agent or any Lender, (v) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (vi) disclosures required or 

202

requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, to the extent permitted by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall notify Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This subsection 10.20 shall supersede all previous agreements between the parties hereto relating to the confidentiality of information.

10.21      Usury Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower.

10.22      Counterparts; Effectiveness.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof.

10.23      USA Patriot Act.

203

Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.24      Electronic Execution of Assignments.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement 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.

10.25      Judgment Currency.

The obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars, in Patacas or in HK Dollars, as the case may be (the “Obligation Currency”), shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the equivalent in such Obligation Currency of such amount (determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 1.4 using the applicable Exchange Rate with respect to such Obligation Currency), in each case, as of the date immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

204

10.26      English.

The English language shall be the only official and recognized language of this Agreement. If for any reason a translation of this Agreement is required, such translation shall in the event of any dispute be secondary to the original English version which shall take precedence.

10.27      Gaming Authorities.

The Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to cooperate with the Macau Gaming Authority and any other applicable gaming authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Company and its Subsidiaries, including to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender or Issuing Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by the Macau Gaming Authority or any other gaming authority relating to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Borrower expressly authorizes each Agent and Lender to cooperate with the Macau Gaming Authority and such other gaming authorities as described above.

10.28      No Fiduciary Duty.

Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.28, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower and the Company agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower and the Company acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and the other Loan Parties, that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECOND AMENDMENT dated as of August 12, 2016 (this “Amendment”), to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 19, 2013 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among LAS VEGAS SANDS, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

A.            Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Lenders (as defined therein, the “Existing Lenders”) have extended credit to the Borrower in an aggregate amount equal to $3,500,000,000, consisting of (i) $2,250,000,000 original aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans and (ii) $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (the “Existing Revolving Commitments” and any Revolving Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) made thereunder, the “Existing Revolving Loans”).

B.            The Borrower has requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended as provided in Section 1 hereof to establish Replacement Revolving Commitments and Replacement Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.24(l) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

C.            Upon the Second Amendment Effective Date, the terms of the outstanding Existing Revolving Commitments of each Existing Lender that approves this Amendment and offers to replace its Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Loan (if any) with Initial Revolving Commitments and Initial Revolving Loans (as such terms are defined in the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below)) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel), on or prior to the Delivery Time, a signature page to this Amendment designating itself as a “Continuing Revolving Lender” (each Existing Lender with an Existing Revolving Commitment that does not so designate itself, being referred to herein as a “Declining Revolving Lender”) will be modified as set forth herein.

D.        All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below).

Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.              Amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement.  Effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date:

(a)        the Existing Credit Agreement (other than the appendices, schedules and exhibits thereto) is hereby amended in accordance with Exhibit A hereto (i) by deleting each term thereof which is lined out and (ii) by inserting each term thereof which is double underlined, in each case in the place where such term appears therein (the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended, together with Amended Appendix A-4 (as defined below), being referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”); and

(b)        Appendix A-4 to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety by Appendix A-4 attached as Exhibit B hereto (“Amended Appendix A-4”).

 

SECTION 2.             Revolving Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Continuing Revolving Lender agrees (i) that its Initial Revolving Commitment shall be equal to the amount set forth next to its name in Amended Appendix A-4, (ii) that its Existing Revolving Commitment shall be replaced in full by such Initial Revolving Commitment, (iii) that it shall make to the Borrower Initial Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Amended Credit Agreement and (iv) to all other terms of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement.  On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Loans (if any) shall be terminated and repaid in full in cash in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Existing Credit Agreement and Section 4 of this Amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Revolving Commitments and Initial Revolving Loans shall constitute a new, single Class of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3.             New Lenders.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement, as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Lender party hereto that is not an Existing Lender (each such Lender, a “New Lender” and collectively, the “New Lenders”), agrees to (i) provide an Initial Revolving Commitment equal to the amount set forth next to its name in Amended Appendix A-4, (ii) make to the Borrower Initial Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Amended Credit Agreement, (iii) assume all rights and obligations of a Revolving Lender and a Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement and (iv) all other terms of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.             Commitment Termination and Prepayments; Letters of Credit.  (a)  The Existing Revolving Commitments shall be (i) replaced in full by the Initial Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.24(l) of the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) terminated effective as of the occurrence of the Second Amendment Effective Date (the “Commitment Termination”).

(b)        On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall prepay in full the Existing Revolving Loans (if any), together with all accrued and unpaid fees and interest (the “Prepayment”).

(c)        The Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date shall remain outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement and the participations therein shall be reallocated on the Second Amendment Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.24(n) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5.             Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, on the Second Amendment Effective Date, the fees set forth in the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter dated as of August 9, 2016 (the “Commitment Letter”) between the Borrower and the Arrangers (as defined in the Commitment Letter, the “Arrangers”) and the confidential fee letter dated as of August 9, 2016 between the Borrower and the Arrangers.

SECTION 6.             Representations and Warranties.  To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the other parties hereto, that: (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (or, with respect to any representations or warranties that are themselves modified or qualified by materiality or a “Material Adverse Effect” standard, such representations or warranties are true, correct and complete in all respects on and as of the date hereof), except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date (or, with respect to any representations or warranties that are themselves modified or qualified by materiality or a “Material Adverse Effect” standard, such representations or warranties were true, correct and complete in all respects as of such earlier date) and (b) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 7.             Effectiveness.  This Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement shall become effective as of the first date (the “Second Amendment Effective Date”) that each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(a)        The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received counterparts of this Amendment that, when taken together, bear the signatures of (i) the Borrower, (ii) the Guarantors, (iii) the New Lenders, (iv) the Administrative Agent, (v) the Collateral Agent, (vi) the Swing Line Lender, (vii) the Issuing Lender and (viii) each Continuing Revolving Lender.

(b)        The Borrower shall have paid (i) to the Administrative Agent, the fees payable on the Second Amendment Effective Date referred to in Section 5, (ii) to the Administrative Agent and to the Arrangers, all fees and other amounts due and payable to them on or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower in connection with this Amendment and (iii) to each Revolving Lender under the Amended Credit Agreement, the fees set forth in Exhibit C hereto.

(c)        The Borrower shall have made the Prepayment and the Commitment Termination, and shall have paid all amounts required to be paid by it in connection therewith.

SECTION 8.             Reaffirmation.  Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors, by its signature below, hereby (a) confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, under each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment or the Amended Credit Agreement, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall continue to accrue to the benefit of the Lenders and the Secured Parties and (b) confirms that all of the representations and warranties made by it contained in the Amended Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents are true, correct and complete in 

 

all material respects on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date.

 

SECTION 9.             Effect of Amendment.  (a)  All references in the other Credit Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b)        Except as expressly provided with respect to the Prepayment and the Commitment Termination, neither this Amendment nor the effectiveness of the Amended Credit Agreement shall extinguish the Obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Credit Document or any other security therefor or any guarantee thereof, and the liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of the Obligations are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation, or a payment and reborrowing, or a termination, of the Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing or securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Borrower or any other Credit Party under any Credit Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder, and such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Amendment and in the Amended Credit Agreement.  The Existing Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect, until and except as modified hereby.  This Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document and a Refinancing Amendment pursuant to Section 2.24(l) of the Existing Credit Agreement for all purposes of the Existing Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement.

SECTION 10.          Notices.  All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11.          Applicable Law.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

SECTION 12.        Jurisdiction.  ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK.  BY 

EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AMENDMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1 OF THE AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 13.          Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers to the extent set forth in the Commitment Letter for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (in the case of the Arrangers, as provided for in the Commitment Letter).

SECTION 14.          Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and by different parties hereto on different counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 7 hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Amendment.

SECTION 15.          Headings.  Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

                              (iv)     With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by Borrower) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by Borrower to Swing Line Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Borrower from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

45

assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.17.

                              (v)      If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

                              (vi)     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made, or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when any Fronting Exposure exists unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

2.4.            Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

(a)              Letters of Credit. Prior to the expiration of the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower for the purposes specified in the definitions of Commercial Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

46

in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $250,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any Standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the expiration of the Availability Period and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit; and (vi) in no event shall any Commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such Commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Subject to the foregoing, Issuing Bank may agree that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any reason or for no reason for any such additional period; provided, in the event any Fronting Exposure exists, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage. On the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit will be deemed a Letter of Credit hereunder.

(b)             Notice of Issuance. Whenever Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Issuance Notice shall specify (i) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) whether the Letter of Credit is to be a Standby Letter of Credit or a Commercial Letter of Credit, (iii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (iv) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (v) the name and address of the beneficiary, and (vi) either the verbatim text of the proposed Letter of Credit or the proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise description of any documents to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Bank to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Bank, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any such documents; and provided, further, that no Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder on the same business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the office of the Issuing Bank to which such draft is required to be presented is located) that such draft is presented if such presentation is made after 10:00 a.m. (in the time zone of such office of the Issuing Bank) on such business day. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e). Borrower shall notify the applicable Issuing Bank (and the Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Bank) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Issuance Notice is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to have recertified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Issuance Notice.

47

(c)              Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments.  In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank.

(d)             Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank on or before the second Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

48

it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d).

(e)              Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f)               Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

49

 that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question.

(g)             Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

2.5.           Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a)              Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b)             Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.6.            Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be applied by Borrower to repay amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (or, with respect to the Initial Revolving Loans, to repay Existing Revolving Loans (as defined in the Second Amendment)), for working capital and general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Affiliates, including Investments (including Investments in Excluded Subsidiaries and Affiliates to fund costs of development projects undertaken by such Excluded Subsidiaries and Affiliates) permitted hereunder, Restricted Payments permitted hereunder for corporate overhead expenses or 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

50

permitted to be made in lieu of certain Investments, and to finance fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.7.            Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a)              Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b)             Register. Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans (and any cancellations of Term Loans pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.6(j)), and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates Scotiabank to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Scotiabank serves in such capacity, Scotiabank and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c)              Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term B Loan, Other Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.8.           Interest on Loans.

(a)              Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

              (i)       in the case of Revolving Loans:

 (1)       if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

51

 (2)       if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

  (ii)      in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

  (iii)     in the case of Term B Loans and Other Term Loans:

             (1)       if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

             (2)       if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum.

(b)             The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c)              In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than fifteen Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender.

(d)             Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

52

(e)              Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) with respect to Loans, shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such Interest Payment Date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iv) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(f)               Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made ratably by the Lenders with Revolving Commitments, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made ratably by the Revolving Lenders.

(g)             Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.8(f), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Borrower.

2.9.           Conversion/Continuation.

(a)              Subject to Section 2.18, Borrower shall have the option:

                              (i)       to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or

                              (ii)      upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

53

(b)             Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). A Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, if the Requisite Lenders request in writing, that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other Person authorized to act on behalf of Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.9(b), and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Borrower shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

2.10.         Default Interest. The principal amount of all overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon or any past due fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Initial Revolving Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for the applicable Base Rate Loan. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.11.         Fees.

(a)              Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders (in the case of any Defaulting Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.22(a)(iii)) having Revolving Exposure:

                              (i)       commitment fees equal to (A) the average of the daily difference between (1) the Revolving Commitments and (2) the aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, times (B) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage; and

                              (ii)      letter of credit fees equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (B) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

54

All fees referred to in this Section 2.11(a) shall be paid to Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (using the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Margin appropriate to the Class of Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender).

(b)             Borrower agrees to pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees:

                              (i)       a fronting fee equal to 0.125%, per annum, times the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and

                              (ii)      such customary documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

(c)             [Intentionally Omitted]

(d)             All fees referred to in Section 2.11(a) and 2.11(b)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year during the Availability Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(e)              Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent an annual administrative fee in the amount and at the times set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

(f)               In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Borrower agrees to pay to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

2.12.         Scheduled Payments/Commitment Reductions.

(a)              Term B Loans shall be amortized by 0.25% per Fiscal Quarter commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2014 through the Term B Facility Maturity Date (with each amortization payment due on a Quarterly Date), with the remaining balance due on the Term B Facility Maturity Date.

In the event any Other Term Loans are made, such Other Term Loans shall be repaid on each installment date as set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement.

(b)             Impact of Prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term B Loans and the Other Term Loans, as the case may be, as provided in Sections 2.15(a) and (b), as applicable; and (y) the Term B Loans and the Other Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date.

(c)              Impact of Cancellations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Term Loans which are cancelled pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.6(j), the amount of the remaining balance due on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date shall be reduced by the aggregate stated principal amount of such cancelled Term B Loans or Other Term Loans, respectively; provided that 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

55

in no event shall the remaining balance due on the applicable Term Facility Maturity Date exceed the aggregate stated principal amount of the Term B Loans or the applicable Other Term Loans, respectively, then outstanding.

2.13.        Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a)              Voluntary Prepayments.

(2)

	
with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and

 

	 	
(3)

	
with respect to Swing Line Loans, Borrower may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(1)

	
upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans;

 

	 	
(2)

	
upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein, unless such notice is in connection with a refinancing of the Loans or other transaction in which case such notice may be conditioned on consummation of such refinancing or other transaction. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a).

 

(b)             Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

 

  (i)       Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

56

telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of such Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

  (ii)      Borrower’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof (unless such notice is in connection with a refinancing of the Loans or other transaction in which case such notice may be conditioned on consummation of such refinancing or other transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may elect to reduce or terminate any Class of Revolving Commitments (and prepay Revolving Exposure associated therewith) without reducing or terminating Revolving Commitments of any other Class.

(c)              In the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall (x) make a prepayment of the Term B Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a) with the proceeds of any new or replacement tranche of term loans that have an All-In Yield that is less than the All-In Yield of such Term B Loans or (y) effect any amendment to this Agreement which reduces the All-In Yield of the Term B Loans (or any mandatory assignment under Section 2.23 by a Non-Consenting Lender shall have been made in connection therewith), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Lenders, (A) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid and (B) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term Loans for which the All-In Yield has been reduced pursuant to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of such prepayment or the effective date of such amendment, as the case may be.

2.14.         Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a)              Asset Sales. No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by the Credit Parties of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds (other than Net Asset Sale Proceeds in respect of Asset Sales permitted by Section 6.7 (excluding clauses (d) and (r) thereof), Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of the other Credit Parties, to invest (or commit to invest, pursuant to a binding contractual agreement that contemplates the consummation of such investment within 15 months of such receipt) such Net Asset Sale Proceeds within 365 days of receipt thereof in assets of the general type used or useful in the business of the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Parties may use a portion of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds to prepay or repurchase New Senior Notes and other Indebtedness of the Credit Parties that ranks pari passu in right of security with the Loans (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”) to the extent the indenture or other agreement therefor requires the Credit Parties to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Asset Sale, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Pan Passu Indebtedness with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

57

exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Loans on the date of such prepayment.

(b)             Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. Subject to the Cooperation Agreement, no later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by the Credit Parties, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Loss Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.15(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Loss Proceeds; provided, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors to invest (or commit to invest) such Net Loss Proceeds within 365 days of receipt thereof in assets of the general type used or useful in the business of the Credit Parties, which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Parties may use a portion of such Net Loss Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Pan Passu Indebtedness to the extent the indenture or other agreement therefor requires the Credit Parties to prepay or make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with such Net Loss Proceeds, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Loss Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Loans on the date of such prepayment.

(c)         Issuance of Debt. On the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Credit Parties of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of any Credit Parties (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(s)) (or, with respect to clause (ii) below, as promptly as practicable thereafter), Borrower shall use an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable and documented costs and expenses associated therewith, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (such amount being the “Net Debt Proceeds”) (i) to prepay the Loans and/or permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section 2.15(b), and/or (ii) repay, redeem, purchase or defease any LVSC Debt that is guaranteed by the Credit Parties.

(d)             Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. Borrower shall from time to time prepay first, the Swing Line Loans, and second, the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

(e)              Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans and/or reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(c), Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount (the “Net Proceeds Amount”) of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds, Net Loss Proceeds or Net Debt Proceeds, as the case may be, that gave rise to such prepayment. In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans and/or the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to such excess, and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the additional Net Proceeds Amount resulting in such excess.

(f)               Drawings on Conforming L/Cs. In the event that any Conforming L/C Draw Event shall have occurred, Administrative Agent may draw down on each outstanding Conforming L/C in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, a Conforming L/C Draw Event shall be in addition to any Event of Default described in Section 8 that may have occurred and be continuing, and (i) Administrative Agent 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

58

shall not be required to exercise any rights or remedy under Section 8 in order to draw on the Conforming L/Cs and (ii) any drawing on a Conforming L/C shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of Borrower, Administrative Agent shall release any Conforming L/C or a portion thereof in its possession to Borrower, provided that each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (i) no Conforming L/C Draw Event shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower shall at such time be in compliance with Section 6.6 and shall have been in compliance therewith for the preceding four consecutive quarters (without giving effect to any such Conforming L/C or a portion thereof or any substitute cash equity contribution by Adelson or his Affiliates), (iii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iv) since the last day of the preceding calendar year, no event or change shall have occurred that caused, in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

2.15.       Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a)              Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans.

Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied as specified by Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, any prepayment of Term Loans shall be allocated to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis or, at the option of Borrower, allocated to the Term B Loans on a pro rata basis (in each case in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof), and applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of the Term B Loans or the Other Term Loans, as the case maybe.

(b)             Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(c) shall be applied as follows:

 first, to prepay Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and further applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans; provided, that Borrower may elect to apply prepayments required by Section 2.14(c) first, to prepay Term B Loans on a pro rata basis before prepaying Other Term Loans;

second, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof; third, to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof;

 fourth, to prepay outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit; and

 fifth, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit.

(c)              The Borrower shall be required to apply all PA Subsidiary Net Asset Sale Proceeds received, directly or indirectly, by any Credit Party first to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the PA Investment Note owed by the PA Subsidiaries and second, up to an aggregate amount of $500,000,000, to prepay (with the proceeds received from the repayment of the PA Investment Note or otherwise) and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments, in each case, within five Business Days of the receipt thereof

(d)             Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar  Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

59

each case, in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c).

2.16.       General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a)              All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)             All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(c)              Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d)             Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e)             Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f)               Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose); provided that with respect to fees and expenses, the Administrative Agent has delivered to Borrower an invoice setting forth the amounts due in reasonable detail, and Borrower has not paid such amounts within three Business Days.

(g)             Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

60

payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h)             If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Secured Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 7.2 of the Security Agreement.

3.17.         Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, unless otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents or Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 hereof with respect to amounts realized from the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit to any assignee or participant in any drawing under a Letter of Credit. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.18.       Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)              Determining Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

61

telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be a request for the making of, conversion to, or continuation of the applicable Loans as Base Rate Loans.

(b)             Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)              Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.  Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/ Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

62

last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any amount under this paragraph if the event (or change in law or regulation or other action) giving rise to such loss, expense or liability occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender submits the statement referred to in the preceding sentence.

(d)             Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e)              Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19.

2.19.       Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)              Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case, that becomes effective after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the Closing Date by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or the Administrative Agent to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes that are indemnified under Section 2.20 and (B) Excluded Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

63

otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or the Administrative Lender, as applicable for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any amount under this paragraph if the event (or change in law or regulation or other action) giving rise to such loss, expense, liability, additional Tax or increased cost occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender submits the statement referred to in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b)             Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any amount under this paragraph if the event (or change in law or regulation or other action) giving rise to such loss, expense or liability occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender submits the statement referred to in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

2.20.       Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a)              Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

64

free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax other than (i) net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and U.S. federal backup withholding taxes, in each case imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, secured or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Credit Document), (ii) any branch profits taxes or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above, (iii) any taxes that are attributable to the applicable Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.20(c), (iv) in the case of any Non-US Lender, any U.S. federal withholding taxes resulting from any law in effect (including FATCA) on the date such Non-US Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.23), to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such non excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.20 (such excluded taxes hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”), or (v) any taxes that are imposed as a result of any event occurring after the Lender becomes a Lender other than a change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof.

(b)             Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax other than an Excluded Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Credit Documents (such Person, the “Withholding Agent”), then: (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding; (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable law; and (iii) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made.

(c)              Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of the receipt or other evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(d)             Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable law any Other Taxes.

(e)              Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20), and any 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 setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

65

(f)               [Reserved].

(g)             Status of Lenders.

  (i)       Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in clause (g)(ii)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(d)(ii)(1), (d)(ii)(2) and (d)(ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (g), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

  (ii)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

	 	
(1)

	
each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent) executed originals of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

	 	
(2)

	
each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

	 	
A.

	
executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

 

	 	
B.

	
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

66

	 	C.	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2, Exhibit B-3 or Exhibit B-4, as appropriate, to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

	 	D.	to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2  or Exhibit B-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

	 	(3)	any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Holder becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

	 	(4)	If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

67

	 		documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(g)(ii)(4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(h)             Treatment of Certain Refunds. If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund that it determines in its sole discretion is in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.20(b), it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund) net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalty, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(i)              Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

(j)               Issuing Banks and Swing Line Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender,” for purposes of this Section 2.20, shall include the Issuing Bank and any Swing Line Lender.

2.21.        Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

68

incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a direct result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that it will not request compensation under Sections 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 unless such Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation from borrowers under other lending arrangements with such Lender or Issuing Bank who are similarly situated.

2.22.        Defaulting Lenders.

(a)             Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

                              (i)           Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Requisite Lenders”.

                              (ii)         Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender hereunder, third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank hereunder, fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement, sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

                             (iii)         Certain Fees.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

69

	 	(1)	No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

	 	(2)	Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral.

	 	(3)	With respect to any such commitment fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

                              (iv)       Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.   Subject to Section 10.28, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

                              (v)         Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within three (3) Business Days following the written request of the (i) Administrative Agent or (ii) the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (x)first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure.

(b)             Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving 

 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)             New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

2.23.        Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Lender shall remain a Defaulting Lender, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of the Requisite Lenders or a majority of the applicable class of Lenders or affected Lenders, as the case may be, shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased-Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (a) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (b) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (c) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and such assignment (together with any other assignments pursuant to this Section 2.23 or otherwise) will result in the applicable amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent being approved; provided, Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving 

 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

71

Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.24.        Incremental Commitments; Commitment Extensions; Refinancing Indebtedness.

(a)             The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (in the form of an increase in the aggregate principal amount of Initial Revolving Commitments), as applicable, in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount at the time such Incremental Commitments are established from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in their own discretion; provided, that each Incremental Revolving Lender providing a commitment to make revolving loans shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, to the extent the same would be required for an assignment under Section 10.6, the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Incremental Revolving Lender is a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender; provided further that commitments to make additional Revolving Loans are on the same terms as any Class of Revolving Loans. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $100,000,000, or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments are requested to become effective and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be (x) commitments to make term loans with terms identical to Term B Loans or (y) commitments to make term loans with pricing, maturity, amortization, participation in mandatory prepayments and/or other terms different from the Term B Loans (“Other Term Loans”).

(b)             The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that:

      (i)           any commitments to make additional Term B Loans and/or additional Initial Revolving Loans shall have the same terms as the Term B Loans or Initial Revolving Loans, respectively,

      (ii)         the Other Term Loans shall rank pari passu or, at the option of the Borrower, junior in right of security with the Term B Loans or shall be unsecured (provided that (X) if such Other Term Loans rank junior in right of security with the Term B Loans, such Other Term Loans shall be subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to clause (v) below and (Y) if such Other Term Loans are unsecured, such Other Term Loans shall be subject to a subordination agreement the terms of which are consistent with market terms governing subordination arrangements for loans that are unsecured at the time such subordination agreement is proposed to be established, as determined 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

72

by the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to clause (v) below),

      (iii)        the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term B Facility Maturity Date and, except as to pricing, amortization, final maturity date, participation in mandatory prepayments and ranking as to security, shall have (x) substantially the same terms as the Term B Loans or (y) such other terms (including as to guarantees and collateral) as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,

      (iv)        the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans,

      (v)         with respect to any Other Term Loan that ranks pari passu in right of security with the Term B Loans, the All-In Yield shall be the same as that applicable to the Term B Loans on the Closing Date, except that the All-In Yield in respect of any such Other Term Loan may exceed the All-In Yield in respect of such Term B Loans on the Closing Date by no more than 0.50%, or if it does so exceed such All-In Yield (such difference, the “Term Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Margin (or the “LIBOR floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to such Term B Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Term Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%; provided that, to the extent any portion of the Term Yield Differential is attributable to a higher “LIBOR floor” being applicable to such Other Term Loans, such floor shall only be included in the calculation of the Term Yield Differential to the extent such floor is greater than the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in effect for an Interest Period of three months’ duration at such time, and, with respect to such excess, the “LIBOR floor” applicable to the outstanding Term B Loans shall be increased to an amount not to exceed the “LIBOR floor” applicable to such Other Term Loans prior to any increase in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Term B Loans then outstanding;

      (vi)       with respect to Incremental Revolving Loans, the All-In Yield of such Incremental Revolving Loans shall be the same as that applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date, except that the All-In Yield in respect of any such Incremental Revolving Loans may exceed the All-In Yield in respect of such Initial Revolving Loans on the Second Amendment Effective Date by no more than 0.50%, or if it does so exceed such All-In Yield (such difference, the “Revolving Yield Differential”) then the Applicable Margin applicable to such Initial Revolving Loans shall be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the Revolving Yield Differential shall not exceed 0.50%;

      (vii)      the Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Term B Loans in any mandatory prepayment hereunder; and

      (viii)    there shall be no obligor in respect of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments that is not a Credit Party.

Each party hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 10.5(e). Any amendment to this Agreement or any other Credit Document that is necessary to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24 and any such collateral and other documentation shall be deemed “Credit 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

73

Documents” hereunder and may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement, the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(a)(iii) shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received an Officer’s Certificate to that effect dated such date and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 3.1 and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Deeds of Trust and other Collateral Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assure that the Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments are, if applicable, secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) one or more Classes of then-existing Term Loans and Revolving Loans.

(d)             Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the outstanding applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis, and (ii) all Revolving Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Commitments, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of the applicable Class of outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.18(c) shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

(e)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.17 (which provisions shall not be applicable to clauses (e) through (i) of this Section 2.24), pursuant to one or more offers made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments, on a pro rata basis (based, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, on the aggregate outstanding Term Loans of such Class and, in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility, as applicable) and on the same terms (“Pro Rata Extension Offers”), the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate transactions with individual Lenders from time to time to extend the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class and to otherwise modify the terms of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments of such Class pursuant to the terms of the relevant Pro Rata Extension Offer (including, without limitation, increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans). For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to “on the same terms” in the preceding sentence shall mean, (i) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Class of Term Loans, that all of the Term Loans of such Class are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same and (ii) in the case of an offer to the Lenders under any Revolving Facility, that all of the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Facility are offered to be extended for the same amount of time and that the interest rate changes and fees payable with respect to such extension are the same. Any such extension (an “Extension”) agreed to between the Borrower and any such Lender (an “Extending Lender”) will be established under this Agreement by an agreement extending an existing Term Loan (such extended Term Loan, an “Extended Term Loan”) or extending an existing Revolving Commitment (such extended Revolving Commitment, an “Extended Revolving Commitment”) (an “Extension Agreement”). Each Pro Rata Extension Offer shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

74

the Extended Term Loan shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than five Business Days after the date on which notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

(f)              The Borrower and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments of such Extending Lender. Each Extension Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments; provided, that (x) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Extension and (y) (i) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, amortization, final maturity date and participation in prepayments and commitment reductions (which shall, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this proviso, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), the Extended Term Loans shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Term Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Term Facility Maturity Date in effect on the date of incurrence, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (iv) except as to interest rates, fees, any other pricing terms, participation in mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the Pro Rata Extension Offer), any Extended Revolving Commitment shall have (x) the same terms as an existing Class of Revolving Commitments or (y) have such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect on the date of incurrence and (vi) any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of any Extension Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 10.5(e). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. If provided in any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments, and with the consent of the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank, participations in Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to lenders holding such Extended Revolving Commitments in the manner specified in such Extension Agreement, including upon effectiveness of such Extended Revolving Commitment or upon or prior to the maturity date for any Class of Revolving Commitments.

(g)             Upon the effectiveness of any such Extension, the applicable Extending Lender’s Term Loan will be automatically designated an Extended Term Loan and/or such Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment will be automatically designated an Extended Revolving Commitment.

(h)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including without limitation this Section 2.24), (i) the aggregate amount of Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments will not be included in the calculation of the Incremental Amount, (ii) the Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments being requested shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $100,000,000, or, in each case, such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent) (iii) any Extending Lender may extend all or any portion of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitment pursuant to one or more Pro Rata Extension Offers (subject to applicable proration in the case of over participation) (including the extension of any Extended Term Loan and/or Extended Revolving Commitment), (iv) there shall be no 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

75

condition to any Extension of any Loan or Commitment at any time or from time to time other than as specified in clause (f)(x) above and notice to the Administrative Agent of such Extension and the terms of the Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment implemented thereby, (v) all Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations of the relevant Credit Parties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations of the relevant Credit Parties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (vi) neither the Issuing Bank nor the Swing Line Lender shall be obligated to provide Swing Line Loans or issue Letters of Credit under such Extended Revolving Commitments unless it shall have consented thereto and (vii) there shall be no obligor in respect of any such Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments that is not a Credit Party.

(i)               Each Extension shall be consummated pursuant to procedures set forth in the associated Pro Rata Extension Offer; provided that the Borrower shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent prior to making any Pro Rata Extension Offer to establish reasonable procedures with respect to mechanical provisions relating to such Extension, including, without limitation, timing, rounding and other adjustments.

(j)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.17 (which provisions shall not be applicable to the establishment of Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to clauses (j) through (o) of this Section 2.24), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (such loans, “Refinancing Term Loans”) pursuant to an amendment (a “Refinancing Amendment”), the Net Debt Proceeds of which are used to refinance in whole or in part any Class of Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Refinancing Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Term Loans shall be made, which shall be a date not earlier than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided, that:

      (i)           before and after giving effect to the borrowing of such Refinancing Term Loans on the Refinancing Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Refinancing Amendment governing such Refinancing Term Loans;

      (ii)         the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Facility Maturity Date of the refinanced Term Loans;

      (iii)        the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the then-remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the refinanced Term Loans;

      (iv)       the aggregate principal amount of the Refinancing Term Loans shall not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the refinanced Term Loans plus amounts used to pay fees and expenses (including original issue discount) and accrued interest associated therewith;

      (v)         all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates or any other pricing terms and optional prepayment or mandatory prepayment or redemption terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries than, the terms, taken as a whole, applicable to the Term B Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Term B Facility 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

76

Maturity Date or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as determined by the Borrower in good faith. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may establish Refinancing Term Loans to refinance and/or replace all or any portion of a Revolving Commitment (regardless of whether Revolving Loans are outstanding under such Revolving Commitments at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans), so long as (i) the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loans does not exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments terminated at the time of incurrence thereof, (ii) if the Revolving Exposure outstanding on the Refinancing Effective Date would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments outstanding in each case after giving effect to the termination of such Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall take one or more actions such that such Revolving Exposure does not exceed such aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments in effect on the Refinancing Effective Date after giving effect to the termination of such Revolving Commitments (it being understood that (x) such Refinancing Term Loans may be provided by the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments being terminated and/or by any other person that would be a permitted assignee hereunder and (y) the proceeds of such Refinancing Term Loans shall not constitute Net Debt Proceeds hereunder), (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining life to termination of the terminated Revolving Commitments, (iv) the final maturity date of the Refinancing Term Loans shall be no earlier than the termination date of the terminated Revolving Commitments and (v) all other terms applicable to such Refinancing Term Loans (other than provisions relating to original issue discount, upfront fees, interest rates or any other pricing terms and optional prepayment or mandatory prepayment or redemption terms, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries than, the terms, taken as a whole, applicable to the Term B Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the Term B Facility Maturity Date or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as determined by the Borrower in good faith;

      (vi)       (X) with respect to Refinancing Term Loans secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank junior in right of security to an existing Class of Term Loans, such Liens will be subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement and (Y) with respect to Refinancing Term Loans that are unsecured, such Refinancing Term Loans will be subject to a subordination agreement the terms of which are consistent with market terms governing subordination arrangements for loans that are unsecured at the time such subordination agreement is proposed to be established, as determined by the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its judgment;

      (vii)      there shall be no obligor in respect of such Refinancing Term Loans that is not a Credit Party; and

      (viii)    the Refinancing Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Term B Loans in any prepayment hereunder.

(k)             The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 10.6 to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Refinancing Term Loan. Any Refinancing Term Loans made on any Refinancing Effective Date shall be designated an additional Class of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, further, that any Refinancing Term Loans may, to the extent 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

77

provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment governing such Refinancing Term Loans, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans made to the Borrower.

(l)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 2.17 (which provisions shall not be applicable to clause (1) through (o) of this Section 2.24), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent establish one or more additional Loan Facilities providing for revolving commitments (“Replacement Revolving Commitments” and the revolving loans thereunder, “Replacement Revolving Loans”) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, which replace in whole or in part any Class of Revolving Commitments under this Agreement. Each such notice shall specify the date (each, a “Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall become effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that: (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement governing such Replacement Revolving Commitments; (ii) after giving effect to the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Commitments and any concurrent reduction in the aggregate amount of any other Revolving Commitments, the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date; (iii) no Replacement Revolving Commitments shall have a final maturity date (or require commitment reductions or amortizations) prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence for the Revolving Commitments being replaced; (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Loan (other than provisions relating to (x) fees, interest rates and other pricing terms and prepayment and commitment reduction and optional redemption terms which shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments and (y) the amount of any letter of credit sublimit and swing line commitment under such Replacement Revolving Loan, which shall be as agreed between the Borrower, the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent and the replacement issuing bank and replacement swing line lender, if any, under such Replacement Revolving Commitments) taken as a whole shall be substantially similar to, or not materially less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Commitments than, those, taken as a whole, applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans (except to the extent such covenants and other terms apply solely to any period after the latest Revolving Facility Maturity Date in effect at the time of incurrence or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); (v) there shall be no obligor in respect of such Replacement Revolving Loan that is not a Credit Party and (vi) the Replacement Revolving Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than pro rata basis) than the Initial Revolving Loans in (x) any voluntary or mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder and (y) any Borrowing at the time such Borrowing is made. In addition, the Borrower may establish Replacement Revolving Commitments to refinance and/or replace all or any portion of a Term Loan hereunder (regardless of whether such Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of Replacement Revolving Loans or otherwise), so long as the aggregate amount of such Replacement Revolving Commitments does not exceed the aggregate amount of Term Loans repaid at the time of establishment thereof (it being understood that such Replacement Revolving Commitment may be provided by the Lenders holding the Term Loans being repaid and/or by any other Person that would be a permitted assignee hereunder) so long as (i) before and after giving effect to the establishment such Replacement Revolving Commitments on the Replacement Revolving Facility Effective Date each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 shall be satisfied to the extent required by the relevant agreement governing such Replacement Revolving Commitments, (ii) the weighted average life to termination of such Replacement 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

78

Revolving Commitments shall be not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity then applicable to the refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the final termination date of the Replacement Revolving Commitments shall be no earlier than the Term Facility Maturity Date of the refinanced Term Loans, (iv) the Replacement Revolving Loans are secured by Liens on Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Loans.

(m)            The Borrower may approach any Lender or any other person that would be a permitted assignee of a Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 10.6 to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Replacement Revolving Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Replacement Revolving Commitment.

4.5.            Governmental Consents. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5, execution, delivery and performance by Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority and except for filings and recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to Collateral Agent for filing and/or recordation, as of the Closing Date.

4.16.         Governmental Regulation. Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur the Indebtedness contemplated hereby, as applicable, other than the Nevada Gaming Laws or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Secured Obligations unenforceable. Neither Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. As of the Closing Date, other than an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, the present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not greater than $50,000,000.

Except with respect to (a) specific property encumbered to secure payment of particular Indebtedness or leases or to be sold pursuant to an executed agreement with respect to an Asset Sale and (b) restrictions by reason of customary anti-assignment provisions in contracts and other agreements or provisions restricting assignments, subletting or other transfers contained in leases, licenses and similar agreements or restrictions on cash or other deposits, in each case, entered into in the ordinary course of business (provided that such restrictions are limited to the property or assets secured by such Liens or the property or assets subject to such leases, licenses or similar agreements, as the case may be), no Credit Parties shall enter into any agreement prohibiting the creation or assumption of any Lien to secure the Secured Obligations upon any of its properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired other than (i) as provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, (ii) as provided in any LVSC Debt Documents or any FF&E Facility and the guarantees and collateral documents relating thereto, or in any agreement relating to any LVSC Aircraft Financing, the New Senior Notes or to any other Indebtedness permitted to be secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.2 other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.1(e) including any refinancing thereof permitted hereunder provided that the provisions regarding the creation or assumption of Liens is not less favorable to the Credit Parties or the Lenders than those set forth in the documents evidencing the Indebtedness being refinanced, or (iii) as required by applicable law or any applicable rule or order of any gaming authority.

6.16.        PCT. For so long as PCT is an Excluded Subsidiary, Borrower shall not permit PCT to have any material assets other than the Palazzo Condo Tower and the Palazzo Condo Tower Parcel and assets related to or in connection with the Palazzo Condo Tower and the Palazzo Condo Tower Parcel.

6.17.        Joint Venture Partners. The Credit Parties shall not permit the amendment or other modification of any Organizational Documents of any PA Subsidiary, or permit the issuance of equity interests in any PA Subsidiary, if the result thereof would be to decrease the ownership percentage of Sands Pennsylvania, Inc. in PA Gaming to below the percentage ownership of Sands Pennsylvania, Inc. as of the Closing Date, other than as permitted by Section 6.7(q) or in connection with the sale of all or a part of the PA Project in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.17.

SECTION 7.  GUARANTY

7.1.            Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Secured Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2.            Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors (which right shall not supersede any Beneficiary’s right to remaining unpaid amounts guaranteed by such Contributing Guarantors) in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

115

aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, each of (A) any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder and under any guaranty of other Indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section 7.2, pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount, and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement (including any such right of contribution under this Section 7.2), and (B) any liabilities of such Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Borrower or other Affiliates of Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder, shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. In no event shall any Guarantor be required to contribute more than its Fair Share Contribution Amount toward the payment of Obligations under its Guaranty.

7.3.            Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4.            Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

116

(a)             this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b)             Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c)             the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d)             payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e)             any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedging Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedging Agreements; and

(f)              this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

117

knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedging Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedging Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedging Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedging Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5.            Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

118

dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedging Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof

7.6.            Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7.            Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof

7.8.            Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has yet been made) shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled or been cash collateralized 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

119

on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Bank. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

7.9.            Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10.         Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedging Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedging Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedging Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11.         Bankruptcy, etc.

(a)              So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b)             Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (A) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c)             In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

120

any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.12.         Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or disposition. A Guarantor designated as an Excluded Subsidiary shall be released and discharged from its Guaranty.

7.13.         Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.13, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 7.13 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.13 constitute, and this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 8.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT

8.1.            Events of Default. If any one or more of the following conditions or events shall occur:

(a)              Failure to Make Payments When Due.

(o)             Conforming L/C. Except as released as permitted under Section 2.14(f), any Conforming L/C shall cease to be in full force and effect at any time prior to twenty-four months from and after the date of its delivery to the Administrative Agent other than following a drawing in full by the Administrative Agent or, if permitted under the definition of Conforming L/C Draw Event, the replacement of such Conforming L/C with a cash equity contribution to Borrower in the amount of the Conforming L/C.

THEN, (1) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g), automatically, and (2) upon the occurrence (and continuance, if applicable) of any other Event of Default, at the request of (or with the consent of) Requisite Lenders (it being understood that during any period during which an Event of Default under Section 6.6 exists solely with respect to the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Exposure shall, take any of the actions described below solely as they relate to the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans), upon notice to Borrower by Administrative Agent, (A) the Revolving Commitments, if any, of each Lender having such Revolving Commitments and the obligation of Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate; (B) each of the following shall immediately become due and payable, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Credit Party: (i) the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Loans, (ii) an amount equal to the maximum amount that may at any time be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding (regardless of whether any beneficiary under any such Letter of Credit shall have presented, or shall be entitled at such time to present, the drafts or other documents or certificates required to draw under such Letters of Credit), and (iii) all other Secured Obligations; provided, the foregoing shall not affect in any way the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.3(b)(v) or Section 2.4(e); (C) Administrative Agent may cause Collateral Agent to enforce any and all Liens and security interests created pursuant to Collateral Documents; and (D) Administrative Agent shall direct Borrower to pay (and Borrower hereby agrees upon receipt of such notice, or without notice upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 8.1(f) and (g) to pay) to Administrative Agent such additional amounts of cash as reasonably requested by Issuing Bank, to be held as security for Borrower’s reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit then outstanding.  Any amounts in respect of obligations described in clause (A) of Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit, when received by the Administrative Agent, shall be held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to a cash collateral arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph, if at any time within 60 days after an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to clause (2) of such paragraph, Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal which shall have become due otherwise than as a result of such acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default (other than non-payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the Loans, in each case, which is due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.5, then

124

Requisite Lenders, by written notice to Borrower, may at their option rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. The provisions of this paragraph are intended merely to bind Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of Requisite Lenders and are not intended, directly or indirectly, to benefit Borrower, and such provisions shall not at any time be construed so as to grant Borrower the right to require Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder or to preclude Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any of the rights or remedies available to them under any of the Credit Documents, even if the conditions set forth in this paragraph are met.

No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, including any Settlement Confirmation or other communication issues by any Settlement Service, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and/or other Credit Parties), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5).

(c)             Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. 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 Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of Administrative 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. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

126

exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such subagent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

9.4.           Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

9.5.           Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a)             Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b)            Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding its Term Loan and/or Revolving Loans on the Closing Date or by the funding of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date and as of the date of funding of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans.

9.6.          Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share at the time any claim therefor is made, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party (but without limiting any Credit Party’s reimbursement obligations), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

127

losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

9.7.           Successor Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Swing Line Lender. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower, and Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders, with reasonable consent of Borrower, shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrower, to appoint a Lender as a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any resignation or removal of Scotiabank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of Scotiabank or its successor as Collateral Agent. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder. If Scotiabank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section has resigned as Administrative Agent but retained its role as Collateral Agent and no successor Collateral Agent has become the Collateral Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Scotiabank or its successor may resign as Collateral Agent upon notice to Borrower and the Requisite Lenders at any time. Any resignation or removal of Scotiabank or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute the resignation or removal of Scotiabank or its successor as Swing Line Lender, and any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event (a) Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the retiring or removed Administrative Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, (b) upon such prepayment, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Borrower for cancellation, and (c) Borrower shall issue, if so requested by successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Loan Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

128

9.8.           Collateral Documents and Guaranty.

(a)             Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents; provided that neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Secured Obligations with respect to any Rate Protection Agreement or Secured Cash Management Services Obligations. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary or reasonably requested by Borrower to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement to a Person that is not a Credit Party, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented, (ii) (x) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such Collateral permitted under Section 6.2(n) to the extent and for so long as the contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted validly prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such assets and proceeds or (y) release the Liens on the assets and property of any “Guarantors” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement that granted Liens on “Collateral” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent such “Guarantors” under (and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement are not Guarantors hereunder, (iii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented, or (iv) subordinate the Liens of the Collateral Documents to Liens permitted under Section 6.2(w) and the documents creating such Liens and to implement and/or create customary arrangements and agreements in connection with residential condominium (or “condo-hotel” or “timeshare”) units and associations otherwise permitted hereunder. In connection with any disposition or release of any Collateral pursuant to the terms of any Credit Document, at Borrower’s request and expense, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Borrower such documents (including UCC-3 termination statements) as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence or effect such release.

(b)             Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(c)             Rights under Hedging Agreements. No Hedging Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

129

the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in Section 10.5(c)(v) of this Agreement and Section 8 of the Security Agreement.

9.9.           Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 9.9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender,” for purposes of this Section 9.9, shall include the Issuing Bank and any Swing Line Lender.

9.10.        Intercreditor Agreements.

Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders (and the other Secured Parties), to enter into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreements on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent with any holders of any secured Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Sections 6.1(d), (r) or (s) or, at the request of Borrower, Sections 6.1(f) or (j), or otherwise consented to by the Lenders in accordance with Section 10.5, and to amend the Collateral Documents as contemplated by Section 5.18, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each such agreement.

SECTION 10.  MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1.         Notices.

  (i)           Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

  (iii)        The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the approved electronic communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the Platform or the approved electronic communications.

  (iv)        Each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents agree that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies.

10.2.         Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to pay promptly (a) all the documented actual and reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents of preparation of the Credit Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto (limited to (i) one primary counsel for the Agents as a group, (ii) one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Agents and Lenders as a group and (iii) special gaming

10.3.         Indemnity.

(a)              Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the each Agent and Lender, their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons, members and successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Amendment Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by any Credit Party or any of affiliates or shareholders of any Credit Party), and to reimburse each such Indemnitee upon demand for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted (x) from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee (or of the affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons and members of such Indemnitee), or (y) from the material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to any of the foregoing.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

132

(b)             No Credit Party shall be required to indemnify any Indemnitee for any amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without such Credit Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however that such Credit Party’s indemnification obligation in respect of such action, proceeding or investigation herein (other than such settlement payments made without such Credit Party’s consent) shall continue in full force and effect. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnitee of notice of its involvement in any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any Credit Party under this Section 10.3, notify such Credit Party in writing of such involvement. Failure by an Indemnitee to so notify such Credit Party shall relieve such Credit Party from the obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee under this Section 10.3 only to the extent that such Credit Party suffers material prejudice to substantial rights and defenses as a result of such failure.

(c)             If any person is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.3 with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party, the Credit Parties shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee. Upon assumption by the Credit Parties of the defense of any such action or proceeding, such Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but the Credit Parties shall not be liable for any fees and legal expenses of other counsel or the fees or disbursements of other providers of professional services subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Credit Parties have agreed to pay such reasonable and documented fees and expenses, (ii) the Credit Parties shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, or (iii) such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Credit Parties and such Indemnitee or among Indemnitees, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnitees that are different from or additional to those available to the Credit Parties or other Indemnitees; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees, except to the extent that local counsel (limited to one separate firm of attorneys in each separate jurisdiction) and/or a single firm of attorneys acting as special gaming counsel for all Indemnitees, in each case, in addition to regular counsel, are required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding and, except in the case of clause (iii) above, a separate firm of attorneys for such affected Indemnitees. The Credit Parties shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Credit Parties in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of each applicable Indemnitee unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of each such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of each such Indemnitee.

10.4.        Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

133

hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (A) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (B) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

10.5.         Amendments and Waivers.

(a)              Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mutual mistake among all parties hereto, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement either (x) does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank, or (y) reflects the intent of all parties to the applicable Credit Document at the time of its execution.

(b)             Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) that would be directly and adversely affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

  (i)           extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;

  (ii)          waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);

  (iii)        extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the expiration of the Availability Period;

  (iv)       reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.10) or any fee or any premium payable hereunder;

  (v)         extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees;

  (vi)        reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit;

  (vii)      amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.13(b)(ii), this Section 10.5(b), Section 10.5(c) or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required;

  (viii)     amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or amend Section 2.16(c), 2.17, or 10.5(a) in a manner intended to effect such a change; provided, 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

134

with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” on substantially the same basis as the Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loans, the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Closing Date;

  (ix)        release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or release Guarantors comprising a material portion of the aggregate value of the Guarantees from the Guaranty, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents;

  (x)          consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document; or

  (xi)        amend, waive or otherwise modify (a) any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions) of Section 6.6, (b) any of the terms and provisions of the proviso set forth in Section 8.1(c) or (c) with respect to any Credit Extension after the Closing Date, any of the express terms and provisions set forth in Section 3.2 without the written consent of the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Exposure, taken as a whole, and, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, any such amendment, waiver or other modification shall be effective for all purposes of this Agreement with the written consent of only the Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Exposure, taken as a whole (or Administrative Agent with the prior written consent thereof), on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand.

(c)             Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall:

  (i)           increase any Revolving Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Revolving Commitment of any Lender;

  (ii)         amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swing Line Sublimit or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of Swing Line Lender;

  (iii)        alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Classes pursuant to Section 2.15 without the consent of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Term B Loans of all Lenders, Incremental Term Loans of all Lenders or Revolving Exposure of all Lenders, as applicable, of each Class which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof; provided, Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered;

  (iv)       amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Revolving Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) without the written consent of Administrative Agent and of Issuing Bank;

  (v)         amend, modify or waive this Agreement or the Security Agreement so as to alter the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under the Credit Documents and Secured Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements or the definition of “Lender Counterparty,” “Hedging Agreement,” “Obligations,” or “Secured Obligations” in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty with Secured Obligations then outstanding and that treats such 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

135

Lender Counterparty differently than the Lenders without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty; or

  (vi)        amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.

(d)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) in accordance with the terms hereof with the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to permit additional extensions of credit to be outstanding hereunder from time to time and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees and other obligations in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the holders of such extensions of credit in any determination of the requisite lenders required hereunder, including Requisite Lenders.

(e)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Credit Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments in a manner consistent with Section 2.24, including, with respect to Other Term Loans, as may be necessary to establish such Incremental Term Loan Commitments as a separate Class or tranche from the existing Term Loan Commitments or to effect the terms of any Extension Agreement or Refinancing Amendment.

(f)               Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

10.6.        Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a)             Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.6(b) and Section 10.6(c), each Lender shall have the right at any time to (i) sell, assign or transfer to any Eligible Assignee, or (ii) sell participations to any Eligible Assignee or any other Person (and in the case of any other Person, with the approval of Borrower) in all or any part of its Commitments or any Loan or Loans made by it or its Letters of Credit or participations therein or any other interest herein or in any other Obligations owed to it; provided that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation shall, without the consent of Borrower, require Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify such sale, assignment, transfer or participation under the securities laws of any state; provided, further that no such sale, assignment or transfer described in clause (i) above shall be effective unless and 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

136

until an Assignment Agreement, Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption or Settlement Confirmation effecting such sale, assignment or transfer shall have been accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.6(b) and provided, further that no such sale, assignment, transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Commitment and the Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.6, no Lender shall, as between Borrower and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitments or the Loans, the Letters of Credit or participations therein, or the other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(b)             Register. Upon its receipt of (x) an Assignment Agreement or an Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, or (y) if applicable, a Settlement Confirmation representing that the assignee is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.6(c) if applicable, and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(g), Administrative Agent shall, if Administrative Agent has consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (to the extent such consent is required pursuant to Section 10.6(c), (A) accept such Assignment Agreement or Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption or, if applicable, Settlement Confirmation by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register (on the same Business Day as it is received if received by 12:00 noon and on the following Business Day if received after such time) and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement, Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption and, if applicable, Settlement Confirmation delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this Section 10.6(b). The date of such execution of a counterpart or recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.”

(c)             Right to Assign. Each Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein, other Obligation or rights under this Agreement may in whole or in part (i) be assigned, in any amount to another Lender, or to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or another Lender or Related Fund, or may be pledged by a Lender in support of its obligations to such pledgee (without releasing the pledging Lender from any of its obligations hereunder); provided that the provisions of this clause (i) shall not apply to any Affiliate Lender to the extent such Affiliate Lender becomes a “Lender” as a result of the provisions of Section 10.6(j) or (ii) be assigned in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount (A) if contemporaneous assignments approved by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion aggregating not less than $1,000,000 are being made by one or more Eligible Assignees which are Affiliates or Related Funds or (B) as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and participations therein, and other obligations of the assigning Lender) to any Eligible Assignee, in each case, with the giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; provided that if any assignment permitted by this clause (c) relates to Revolving Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, the assignee shall represent that it has the financial resources to fulfill its commitments hereunder and such assignment is consented to by Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, with respect to any assignment pursuant to this clause (c), at any time other than when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignee shall be acceptable to Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein, other Obligations or rights under this Agreement, or the portion thereof so assigned. The assignor or assignee to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

137

in the Register, an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,000 in respect of assignments other than assignments to or from any Arranger (it being understood only one such fee shall be payable in the case of concurrent assignments by a Lender to one or more Affiliates or Related Funds), and in each case such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(g); provided, however, in the event that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines that Term Loans may be settled through a Settlement Service (defined below) pursuant to Section 10.6(d), only a written or electronic confirmation of such assignment issued by a Settlement Service (a “ Settlement Confirmation”) shall be delivered with respect to assignments settled through the Settlement Service.

(d)             Mechanics. Administrative Agent has the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Term Loans via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 10.6. Each assignor Lender and proposed assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any transfer of Loans pursuant to the Settlement Service. Administrative Agent’s and Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted to the extent required pursuant to Section 10.6(c) with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of Term Loans shall be effected by such manual execution until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. Assignments and assumptions of Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments shall only be effected by manual execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement at all times. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Assignment Agreement to the contrary and so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments in respect of the settlement of an assignment of any Term Loan during periods when assignments may be settled through a Settlement Service (but not any Revolving Loan or Revolving Loan Commitment) and with respect to all unpaid interest and commitment fees if any, which have accrued on such Term Loan, whether such interest and commitment fees accrued before or after the applicable Assignment Effective Date, shall be made in the manner provided for by the Settlement Service. Any and all fees payable to the Settlement Service shall be paid by the assigning Lender and/or its assignee which becomes a Lender hereunder and Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility whatsoever for payment thereof.

(e)             Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender (other than an Affiliate Lender), upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f)              Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

138

and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(g)             Participations.

  (i)           Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Eligible Assignee (or, with the consent of Borrower, any other Person) (other than Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation or rights under this Agreement.

  (ii)         The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the expiration of the Availability Period) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.

  (iii)        Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, and (y) a participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 unless it shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.20 including, without limitation, Section 2.20(g); provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

139

sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.

(h)             Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6 any Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or Borrower, assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any central banking authority; provided, that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

(i)               Nevada Gaming Authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, any or all of its Commitments or any Loan or Letter of Credit made or issued by it, or any interest therein, herein or in any other Obligations owed to any such Lender, shall be subject to the lawful orders of the Nevada Gaming Commission, to the extent required by the Nevada Gaming Laws.

(j)               Assignments to Affiliate Lenders.

For purposes of any amendment, waiver or modification of any Credit Document or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, that in either case does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect such Affiliate Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders, Affiliate Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliate Lenders voting on such matter; and each Affiliate Lender hereby acknowledges, agrees and consents that if, for any reason, its vote to accept or reject any plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code is not deemed to have been so voted, then such vote will be (x) deemed not to be in good faith and (y) “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code such that the vote is not counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that for any Requisite Lender vote, Debt Fund Affiliate Lenders cannot, in the aggregate, account for more than 49.9% of the amounts included in determining whether the Requisite Lenders (whether consenting or not) have consented to any amendment, waiver or other action.

10.7.        Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

141

covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8.        Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.

10.9.        No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedging Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10.     Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11.     Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12.     Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

143

LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.17.     Confidentiality. Each Agent (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 10.17 include each Arranger), and each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 10.17 include the Issuing Bank) shall hold all non-public information regarding Borrower, Sands Expo and their respective Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, advisors and trustees (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(h) or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees, participants, pledgees, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

10.18.     Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

144

be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower.

10.19.     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

10.20.     Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Amendment Agreement.

10.21.     Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.22.     Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement 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.

10.23.     Gaming Authorities. Arrangers, Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities or any other applicable gaming authority in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Credit Parties, including to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender or Issuing Bank and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Nevada Gaming Authority or other gaming authority relating to Arrangers, Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, or Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, Borrower expressly authorizes each Agent and Lender to cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and such other gaming authorities as described above.

10.24.     Harrah’s Shared Garage Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or in the Collateral Documents, the Credit Parties shall not be obligated to grant the Lenders a leasehold mortgage covering their leasehold interest in, to and under the Harrah’s Shared Garage Lease unless and until the landlord thereunder consents to such a mortgage. Instead, Borrower shall, within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after request therefor by the Administrative Agent, cause VCR to assign its interest in, to and under the Harrah’s Shared Garage Lease to the Collateral Agent or a third party designated by the Collateral Agent, in either case on behalf of the Lenders, in which event the Collateral Agent or such third party, as applicable, shall simultaneously sublease all of the real property covered by the Harrah’s Shared Garage Lease back to VCR, all pursuant to documents reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

10.25.     Certain Matters Affecting Lenders.

(a)             If (i) any Nevada Gaming Authority or Pennsylvania Gaming Authority shall determine that any Lender does not meet suitability standards prescribed under the Nevada Gaming Laws or Pennsylvania Gaming Laws or (ii) any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of Borrower shall determine that any Lender does not meet its suitability standards (in any such 

Credit and Guaranty Agreement

145

case, a “Former Lender”), the Administrative Agent or Borrower shall have the right (but not the duty) to designate bank(s) or other financial institution(s) (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”) which may be any Lender or Lenders that agree to become a Substitute Lender and to assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence that such Substitute Lender is an Eligible Assignee. The Substitute Lender shall assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender under this Agreement. Borrower shall bear the costs and expenses of any Lender required by any Nevada Gaming Authority, or any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of Borrower, to file an application for a finding of suitability in connection with the investigation of any application by Borrower for a license to operate a gaming establishment or for any other approval required from the gaming authority.

(b)             Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.25(a), if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if the Administrative Agent or Borrower fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to Section 10.25(a) within any time period specified by the appropriate gaming authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), Borrower may prepay in full the outstanding principal amount of Loans made by such Former Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of any Withdrawal Period.

10.26.      Effect of Restatement. This Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, supersede the Existing Credit Agreement from and after the Closing Date with respect to the transactions hereunder and with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Credit Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as in effect prior to the Closing Date, (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (c) the liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of such Obligations are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations and (d) all references in the other Credit Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.

The Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates each hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
