If Seller elects to attempt to remedy any Objection, then Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) Business Days after Seller receives the Objection Notice, in which case Seller will endeavor to remedy such Objection, but Seller will have no liability to Buyer if Seller is unable or fails to remedy such Objection (unless such objection is a Required Removal Exception).

(5th) Business Day after Seller received such Objection Notice if Seller did not within such five (5) Business Day period elect to cure such Objection, or (iii) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the then scheduled Closing if Seller is unable or fails to convey title in accordance with this Agreement (and the Closing shall be adjourned to account for such period, as applicable), either (x) to accept such title as Seller is able to convey, without any reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any other claim against Seller (in which case the exception to which Buyer had raised an Objection and which Seller did not elect to cure shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception) (but if such Objection is to a Seller Monetary Lien in excess of the Required Removal Threshold, Buyer shall have the right to accept such title as Seller is able to convey; and in such event such Seller Monetary Lien shall be Non-CPLV Lease Tenant’s responsibility as if such Seller Monetary Lien first arose during the term of the Non-CPLV Lease), or (y) to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer delivers an Objection Notice to Seller, and Seller does not notify Buyer within such five (5) Business Day period that Seller will attempt to cure such Objection, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remedy such Objection(s). The Closing shall be adjourned (but not beyond June 30, 2019) to permit such process to be completed, and if such process shall be ongoing as of 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2019, then this Agreement will automatically terminate without either party having any liability (other than obligations that, pursuant to the express terms hereof, survive termination hereof (for the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s failure to Remove any exception that is not a Required Removal Exception shall be neither a breach nor a default hereunder)), unless Buyer agrees to accept such title as Seller is able to convey, without any reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any other claim against Seller. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1, then this Agreement shall terminate and be deemed null, void and of no further force or effect (other than obligations that, pursuant to the express terms hereof, survive termination hereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall be required to Remove all Required Removal Exceptions at or prior to Closing, which for purposes of clarification shall not restrict Seller from entering into unrecorded Contracts that may remain in effect as of Closing pursuant to Section 8.1.

(a) Buyer shall have a period from the Effective Date until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 31, 2018 (the “Due Diligence Period”), to perform its due diligence review of the compliance of the Property with any zoning requirements relating to parking to be set forth in a zoning report to be prepared by EnviroBusiness, Inc. (d/b/a EBI Consulting) (the “Outstanding Consultant Report”). If, during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer first becomes aware (based on information provided in the Outstanding Consultant Report) of a failure of the Property to comply with any zoning requirements relating to parking that results in a Material Adverse Effect, Buyer shall have the right to provide a written notice (a “Due Diligence Notice”) to Seller (such notice to be delivered within the Due Diligence Period, if at all) requesting that Seller cure such non-compliance. Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Due Diligence Notice (the “Election Period”), Seller may deliver a written notice (a “Seller Response Notice”) to Buyer indicating that Seller either (i) intends to cure such non-compliance or (ii) does not intend to cure such non-compliance. The failure of Seller to deliver a Seller Response Notice within the Election Period shall be deemed to be an indication that Seller does not intend to cure such non-compliance. If

 

18


the Seller Response Notice indicates that Seller intends to cure such non-compliance, then the cure of such non-compliance shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the Transaction (it being agreed that under no circumstances shall Seller’s failure to so cure such non-compliance be deemed to be a default by Seller under this Agreement). If the Seller Response Notice indicates that Seller does not intend to cure such non-compliance, or if Seller does not send a Seller Response Notice during the Election Period, then Buyer may, within ten (10) days of (a) receipt of a Seller Response Notice indicating that Seller does not intend to cure such non-compliance or (b) the expiration of the Election Period in the event Seller fails to deliver a Seller Response Notice within the Election Period, terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of such ten (10) day period. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1(a), then the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1(a), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1(a).

(b) During the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Buyer, at its cost, may conduct such surveys and non-invasive investigations and inspections of the Property (collectively “Inspections”) as Buyer elects in its sole discretion and Seller, at reasonable times, shall provide reasonable access to the Property to Buyer and Buyer’s consultants and other representatives for such purpose. Buyer’s right to perform the Inspections shall be subject to and will not unreasonably interfere with or disturb the rights of tenants, guests and customers at the Property and the Inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with the Seller’s business operations. Buyer and its agents, contractors and consultants shall comply with Seller’s reasonable requests with respect to the Inspections to minimize such interference. Buyer will cause each of Buyer’s consultants that will be performing such tests and inspections (other than purely visual inspections) to provide (as a condition to performing such Inspections) proof of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence form with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) aggregate limit bodily injury, death and property damage per occurrence shall be provided to Seller.

19


(d) Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date that is ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (such date and time, the “Additional Parcels Removal Deadline”), to elect not to acquire the Additional Parcels for any reason whatsoever. If Buyer elects not to acquire the Additional Parcels pursuant to this Section 4.1(d), (i) clause (ii) of the definition of “Land” as defined in this Agreement shall be deleted, (ii) the legal description of the Additional Parcels shall be removed from any documents to which such legal description is contemplated to be attached thereto pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the Additional Parcels Owner shall be deleted from the definition of “Seller” as defined in this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action or refrain from taking any action as required by this Section 8.6 to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer, such action or inaction could cause VICI Properties Inc. to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” under Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto, and (ii) Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action or refrain from taking any action as required by this Section 8.6 to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer, such action or inaction would reasonably be expected to (1) require the divestiture of any of the Buyer’s other facilities, properties or other assets, or (2) impose, with respect to obtaining any Gaming License, any materially unusual and/or materially burdensome conditions, obligations or requirements on Buyer or require Buyer to undertake material new construction activity.

(a) Buyer shall request the Lender Consent from the requisite holder(s) and lender(s), as applicable, comprising each of the CPLV Lender, the First Lien Non-CPLV Lender and the Second Lien Non-CPLV Lender, as applicable, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue each such Lender Consent.

It shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder that none of CPLV Lender, First Lien Non-CPLV Lender or Second Lien Non-CPLV Lender, as applicable, requires in connection with the applicable Lender Consent (i) any adverse changes in those provisions of the applicable loan documents pertaining to (A) interest rate, (B) amortization, (C) loan amount, (D) debt service coverage ratio (or impose a debt service coverage ratio where one is not contemplated by the Existing Loan) to the extent under the applicable loan documents, provided that an increase in the debt service coverage ratio imposed by the CPLV Lender in an amount that preserves the same percentage cushion to the base case cash flows of CPLV Lease Landlord after giving effect to the acquisition by CPLV Lease Landlord (directly or through a subsidiary) of the Other Land Property shall not be deemed a change to the debt service coverage ratio existing currently under such financing, or (E) the guaranteed or indemnified obligations, (ii) any additional material Liabilities or cost to Buyer other than as set forth in the Fee Letter, or (iii) any other material and adverse changes to the Existing Loan other than (x) solely in the case of the CPLV Loan, supplementing the “Collateral” (as defined in the CPLV Loan) with the addition of the Property (as defined in the Other Land PSA) (it being understood and agreed that Buyer shall cause the Other Land Buyer to offer to so supplement the “Collateral” (as defined in the CPLV Loan) in connection with Buyer’s efforts to obtain the CPLV Lender Consent),

 

41


(y) solely in the case of the First Lien Non-CPLV Loan, supplementing the “Collateral” (as defined in the First Lien Non-CPLV Loan) with the addition of the Property (it being understood and agreed that Buyer shall offer to so supplement the “Collateral” (as defined in the First Lien Non-CPLV Loan) in connection with Buyer’s efforts to obtain the First Lien Lender Consent) and (z) solely in the case of the Second Lien Non-CPLV Loan, supplementing the “Collateral” (as defined in the Second Lien Non-CPLV Loan) with the addition of the Property (it being understood and agreed that Buyer shall offer to so supplement the “Collateral” (as defined in the Second Lien Non-CPLV Loan) in connection with Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Second Lien Lender Consent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each of Seller and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is an express condition precedent to the Closing hereunder that the Lender Consent (which shall not include the Mezzanine Consent) be obtained, and so long as Buyer complies with its obligations under this Section 8.7, neither the failure to obtain such Lender Consent nor, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in this Section 8.7 or in the Fee Letter, the refusal by Buyer or Seller to agree to any concession or inducement that may be imposed on such party by a Lender as condition to the grant of the Lender Consent, shall constitute a breach or default of such party under this Agreement or a breach of a representation or warranty by Buyer under Section 7.1.

SECTION 8.8. Private Letter Ruling.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree and understand that each of the CPLV Lease, Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease will include a provision (the “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio Escalator Cutback”) by which the annual “Escalator” (as defined in each of the CPLV Lease, the Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease, as applicable) as it relates to the fixed component of “Rent” (as defined in each of the CPLV Lease, the Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease, as applicable) may be reduced to the extent not comporting with a rent coverage test based on the EBITDAR of the “Leased Property” (as defined in each of the CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease) or “Leased Properties” (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease), as applicable, relative to the “Rent” (as defined in each of the CPLV Lease, the Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease, as applicable) payable under the CPLV Lease, the Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease or the HLV Lease, as applicable.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a private letter ruling with respect to each of the CPLV Lease, Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease, issued by the Internal Revenue Service, providing that “Rent” (as defined in such lease agreement) constitutes “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto (the “Favorable PLR”). Seller shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Favorable PLR, including, without limitation, executing and delivering any such additional documents or information as Buyer or the Internal Revenue Service shall reasonably request in order to obtain and make effective the Favorable PLR, so long as the execution and delivery of such documents shall not result in any additional material Liability or cost to Seller. Buyer shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Favorable PLR or a “will” level opinion of counsel that “Rent” (as defined in each of the CPLV Lease, Non-CPLV Lease, the Joliet Lease and the HLV Lease) constitutes “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code (or any similar or successor provision thereto) (an “Opinion”) following the issuance by the Internal Revenue Service or the United Stated Department of Treasury of a Treasury Regulation, Revenue Ruling, Revenue Procedure or similar published guidance on which taxpayers may rely regarding the application of Section 856(d) of the Code (or any similar or successor provision thereto) to a provision similar to the EBITDAR to Rent Ratio Escalator Cutback (“Rent Ratio Guidance”).

 

42


(c) If Buyer or any of its Affiliates (i) obtains a private letter ruling indicating that the Internal Revenue Service views the EBITDAR to Rent Ratio Escalator Cutback adversely (an “Adverse PLR”), (ii) following the issuance of Rent Ratio Guidance fails to obtain the Favorable PLR and fails to obtain an Opinion, or (iii) in the absence of Rent Ratio Guidance, fails to obtain the Favorable PLR, in each case of clauses (i)-(iii) above, on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to (A) the first day of the eighth Lease Year of the CPLV Lease, with respect to clauses (i)-(iii) below, and (B) the first day of the sixth Lease Year of the HLV Lease, with respect to clause (iv) below, then:

(i) CPLV Lease Landlord and CPLV Lease Tenant shall further amend the CPLV Lease attached hereto as Exhibit C to substitute the “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio” (as defined in the CPLV Lease) with a different metric based on gross revenue (as opposed to EBITDAR (as defined in the CPLV Lease)) that, as closely as feasible, achieves the same economic impact and/or benefit for CPLV Lease Landlord and CPLV Lease Tenant as provided for in the CPLV Lease as of the date hereof;

(ii) Non-CPLV Lease Landlord and Non-CPLV Lease Tenant shall further amend the Non-CPLV Lease attached hereto as Exhibit O to substitute the “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio” (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease) with a different metric based on gross revenue (as opposed to EBITDAR (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease)) that, as closely as feasible, achieves the same economic impact and/or benefit for Non-CPLV Lease Landlord and Non-CPLV Lease Tenant as provided for in the Non-CPLV Lease as of the date hereof;

(iii) Joliet Landlord and Joliet Tenant shall further amend the Joliet Lease attached hereto as Exhibit L to substitute the “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio” (as defined in the Joliet Lease) with a different metric based on gross revenue (as opposed to EBITDAR (as defined in the Joliet Lease)) that, as closely as feasible, achieves the same economic impact and/or benefit for Joliet Landlord and Joliet Tenant as provided for in the Joliet Lease as of the date hereof; and

(iv) HLV Landlord and HLV Tenant shall further amend the First Amendment to HLV Lease to substitute the “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio” (as defined in the HLV Lease) with a different metric based on gross revenue (as opposed to EBITDAR (as defined in the HLV Lease)) that, as closely as feasible, achieves the same economic impact and/or benefit for HLV Landlord and HLV Tenant as provided for in the First Amendment to HLV Lease as of the date hereof.

(d) The provisions of this Section 8.8 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of the Agreement.

SECTION 8.9. Confidentiality. Seller and Buyer agree that they continue to be bound by the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated February 13, 2018, between CEC and VICI Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, each of Seller and Buyer may disclose such

information to the extent required by applicable Gaming, securities or other Laws or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement or rules of any securities exchange and to financing sources and as otherwise contemplated by the Confidentiality Agreement, and Section 8.5 above.

In connection with such remediation activities, and in accordance with the terms of that certain Consent Order and Agreement dated January 7, 2005 between Seller and PA DEP (the “Consent Order”), Seller was required to impose certain institutional controls on the Real Estate. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the institutional controls by the execution and filing of record of an environmental covenant approved and executed by Seller and PA DEP (the “Environmental Covenant”) pursuant to the Pennsylvania Uniform Environmental Covenants Act at or before Closing (and in any case prior to the recording of the Deed), which Environmental Covenant will contain activity and use limitations that may (i) require the maintenance of a cap in certain areas of the Real Estate as identified in paragraph O of the Consent Order and Exhibit A thereto, and (ii) impose such other limitations as would not materially restrict the current use of the Property as a casino with related parking, retail facilities, horse racing facilities and other material current uses and would not have a material impact on the value or operations of the Property or on Buyer.

If Seller defaults in its obligation to consummate the Closing as and when required under this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon Seller shall pay the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount to Buyer, and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (y) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Seller and, as applicable, the Seller Parties or (z) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction. On the Effective Date, Seller Guarantor shall execute and deliver the PSA Seller Guaranty with respect to Seller’s obligations under this Section 9.2.

ARTICLE 10

CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION

SECTION 10.1. Right to Terminate. If, after the Effective Date, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than the date (the “Casualty Notice Date”) that is the earlier of (a) June 30, 2019 or (b) five (5) Business Days after Seller notifies Buyer of such Major Casualty/Condemnation; provided that the Closing Date shall be extended (but not beyond June 30, 2019), if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer and Seller to close. The failure by Buyer to terminate this Agreement by the Casualty Notice Date shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.1, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Major Casualty/Condemnation” shall mean (i) any casualty, condemnation proceedings, or eminent domain proceedings if the portion of the Property that is

 

45


the subject of such casualty or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings has a value in excess of Eighteen Million One Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and No/Dollars ($18,112,500.00), as reasonably determined by a third party contractor or architect selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or (ii) any uninsured casualty which Seller does not agree (as set forth as a written modification of the Non-CPLV Lease reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer executed and delivered on the Closing Date and guaranteed pursuant to the Non-CPLV MLSA), in its sole and absolute discretion, to repair or restore in a manner acceptable to Buyer.

SECTION 10.2. Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If, after the Effective Date, any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties hereto shall consummate the Closing upon the terms set forth herein. Any awards or proceeds received from the condemning authority or Seller’s insurance company, as the case may be (the “Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Non-CPLV Lease as if the Non-CPLV Lease were in effect as of the date that such Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds are made available, and any claims in respect to any such awards or proceeds and the related insurance policies shall be assigned to Non-CPLV Lease Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Non-CPLV Lease as if the Non-CPLV Lease were in effect as of the date that such Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds are made available, and in all events the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted as a result of any such casualty or condemnation; provided, that nothing in this paragraph is intended to vitiate Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 in connection with a Major Casualty/Condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event a Major Casualty/Condemnation shall have occurred prior to the Closing and the parties elect to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the parties will have their respective rights and obligations with respect to such Major Casualty/Condemnation (and any Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds) that they would have under the terms of the Non-CPLV Lease as if the Non-CPLV Lease were in effect as of the date that such Major Casualty/Condemnation occurred.

SECTION 10.3. Insurance. Subject to Section 8.11, Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property, or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.

SECTION 10.4. Waiver. The provisions of this Article 10 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1. Buyer’s Assignment. Other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 11.16 hereof, Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder (other than to an entity that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned and controlled by VICI) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may designate an entity that is directly or indirectly wholly-owned and controlled by VICI to be the named transferee on all

 

46


Closing Documents. In addition to, and without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Buyer named in the Preamble to this Agreement (the “Named Buyer”) shall have the right to identify another entity that is an Affiliate of Buyer for purposes of taking title to the Property (the “Title Entity”), whereupon, at the request of Named Buyer, Named Buyer, Seller, each Seller Party and each Buyer Party shall enter into a separate novation agreement with the Title Entity in the form attached hereto as Exhibit CC pursuant to which the Title Entity shall adopt and agree to be bound by all of the Named Buyer’s duties, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement (as so substituted with the identical agreement and with only such changes or conforming provisions as may be necessary to reflect the identity of the parties). The same shall result in a “repudiation” and “novation” of the duties, obligations and liabilities of the Named Buyer hereunder. Simultaneously with entering into such novation agreement, (a) Buyer shall cause (concurrently with and as part of such novation agreement) Buyer Guarantor to execute such confirmation or new guaranty as Seller shall reasonably require to confirm that Buyer Guarantor’s obligations under the PSA Buyer Guaranty shall continue to apply with regard to such Title Entity’s obligations under the new agreement following such novation to the same extent the PSA Buyer Guaranty applies to the performance by Buyer of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement, and (b) Seller shall cause Seller Guarantor to execute such confirmation or new guaranty as Buyer shall reasonably require to confirm that Seller Guarantor’s obligations under the PSA Seller Guaranty shall continue to apply with regard to Seller’s obligations under such new agreement following such novation to the same extent the PSA Seller Guaranty applies to the performance by Seller of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 5.2, (i) any Transfer Tax imposed as a result of any novation, in each case in accordance with this Section 11.1, (A) shall be the joint and several obligation of Buyer and Title Entity, and shall be paid in full by Buyer and/or Title Entity, and (B) the payment of the same shall be deemed to be an item required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.3, and (ii) Buyer and Title Entity shall indemnify Seller against the imposition of any such Transfer Taxes. The obligations of Buyer and Title Entity pursuant to Section 11(i) and (ii) shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.2. Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing and any document executed in connection herewith, none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

SECTION 11.3. Integration; Waiver. This Agreement and the Fee Letter embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

SECTION 11.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws; provided, however, that such designation shall not relieve any Party of its obligation to comply with the requirements of the laws of any other State as may be necessary (i) to effect the transactions in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) to pursue any claim or action seeking the enforcement of any lien, judgment or encumbrance against the Property, which shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Any party may designate another addressee for notices hereunder by a notice given pursuant to this Section 11.8. A notice sent in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.8 shall be deemed given on the date of receipt, with failure to accept delivery to constitute receipt for such purpose.

For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may file a notice of pendency or similar instrument against the Property in connection with an action for specific performance hereunder.

Each of the parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with one another and execute and deliver such documents as the other party or the Title Company shall reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the Transaction, so long as the execution and delivery of such documents shall not result in any additional Liabilities or cost to the executing party. The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall survive Closing and not be merged therein.

SECTION 11.12. Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement, any modification hereof or any of the Closing Documents.

SECTION 11.14. JURISDICTION. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION, THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROPERTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREUNDER (“PROCEEDINGS”) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY (a) SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COUNTY OF CLARK, STATE OF NEVADA AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEVADA SITTING IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA; PROVIDED THAT WITH RESPECT TO ANY IN REM SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TITLE TO THE PROPERTY, THE PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS OR ANY LIEN, JUDGMENT OR ENCUMBRANCE AGAINST THE PROPERTY), EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA OR THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND (b) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT SUCH PROCEEDINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDINGS, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.14 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 11.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSACTION, THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, THE PROPERTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREUNDER. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.15 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 11.16. Tax Free Exchange. Seller and Buyer each hereby reserve the right to include this transaction as part of one (1) or more tax deferred exchange transactions pursuant to Code Section 1031 and comparable provisions of applicable state law, at no out-of-pocket cost, expense, risk or liability to the other party hereto. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with the other party hereto, and to execute any and all documents (including without limitation Code Section 1031 exchange documents) reasonably necessary in connection therewith; provided, however, that the closing of the transaction for the conveyance of the Property shall not be contingent upon, and shall not be subject to, the completion of such exchange, nor shall such affect the Closing Date hereunder. Buyer and Seller shall be obligated to close title to the Property on or before the Closing Date whether or not Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall have consummated an intended Code Section 1031 tax deferred exchange transaction.

 

50


SECTION 11.17. CPLV Lease, CPLV MLSA, Non-CPLV Lease, Non-CPLV MLSA, Joliet Lease and Joliet MLSA. If the Closing shall occur, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, nothing contained herein or therein shall limit the obligations of (i) CPLV Lease Tenant under the CPLV Lease, (ii) CPLV Lease Tenant, CPLV MLSA Manager, CEC, Caesars License Company or Caesars Enterprise under the CPLV MLSA, (iii) Non-CPLV Lease Tenant under the Non-CPLV Lease, (iv) Non-CPLV Lease Tenant, Non-CPLV MLSA Manager, CEC, Caesars License Company or Caesars Enterprise under the Non-CPLV MLSA, (v) Joliet Tenant under the Joliet Lease, (vi) Joliet Tenant, Joliet MLSA Manager, CEC, Caesars License Company or Caesars Enterprise under the Joliet MLSA or (vii) HLV Tenant under the HLV Lease, as amended hereunder, as applicable. If the Closing shall not occur, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall limit the obligations of (i) CPLV Lease Tenant under the Original CPLV Lease and any documents related thereto, (ii) CPLV Lease Tenant, CPLV MLSA Manager, CEC, Caesars License Company or Caesars Enterprise under the Original CPLV MLSA and any documents related thereto, (iii) Original Non-CPLV Tenant under the Original Non-CPLV Lease and any documents related thereto, (iv) Original Non-CPLV Tenant, Non-CPLV MLSA Manager, CEC, Caesars License Company or Caesars Enterprise under the Original Non-CPLV MLSA and any documents related thereto, (v) Joliet Tenant under the Original Joliet Lease, (vi) Joliet Tenant, Joliet MLSA Manager, CEC, Caesars License Company or Caesars Enterprise under the Original Joliet MLSA or (vii) HLV Tenant under the HLV Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.17 is intended to vitiate any of the surviving obligations of the parties in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11.17 shall survive the Closing.

SECTION 11.18. Termination of Other Land PSA. If, at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, the Other Land PSA is terminated, this Agreement shall automatically terminate; provided that such termination shall not relieve either party hereto for liability hereunder that pursuant to the express terms hereof survives termination hereof. If the Closing (as defined in the Other Land PSA) under the Other Land PSA does not occur due to a default by either party thereto in its obligation to consummate such Closing (as defined in the Other Land PSA) as and when required under the Other Land PSA and the non-defaulting party thereunder elects to terminate the Other Land PSA and to seek payment of the Seller Liquidated Damages Amount (as defined in the Other Land PSA) or the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount (as defined in the Other Land PSA), as applicable, then such default shall also be deemed to constitute a default under Sections 9.1 or 9.2, as applicable, under this Agreement by (i) Buyer, if such default under the Other Land PSA is a default of buyer thereunder, or (ii) Seller, if such default under the Other Land PSA is a default by seller thereunder, and, in each case, the non-defaulting party hereunder shall terminate this Agreement and seek the payment of the Seller Liquidated Damages Amount or the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount, as applicable. The rights referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.19. Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall either party be entitled to recover from the other any actual, consequential, punitive, or special damages in connection with this Agreement. The foregoing shall not prejudice the right of the parties to obtain actual damages to the extent provided in Sections 7.3, 8.3 and 11.20 (and subject to the limitations set forth in each such section) in connection with the representations, warranties or indemnities that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

 

51


SECTION 11.20. Bulk Sales. The parties acknowledge that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires that certain governmental agencies or authorities be notified ten (10) days in advance of Closing of the proposed transfer of the Property by Seller to Buyer, and in certain cases that Seller obtain and deliver to Buyer a clearance certificate (a “Clearance Certificate”) evidencing the payment by Seller of certain taxes, assessments and contributions to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties further acknowledge that, as a result of procedures for the administration of applications for clearance certificates, and anticipated delays, Seller will not be able to obtain and deliver the Clearance Certificate as of the Closing, or for some period of time thereafter. Seller shall be responsible for providing all notices to governmental agencies required under the Bulk Sales Statutes (as hereinafter defined) and for providing at Closing evidence acceptable to Buyer that such notices have been delivered. Seller agrees to act with diligence to apply for, obtain and deliver to Buyer a Clearance Certificate at or as soon after the Closing as is reasonably possible. Seller represents to Buyer that all taxes accruing and due on or before the date hereof by Seller to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have been paid and satisfied, and any taxes due from Seller to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Transfer Taxes, as and to the extent applicable, allocated between Seller and Buyer and to be paid as set forth in this Agreement) for the payment of such taxes will be timely paid. Seller and Seller Guarantor each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all liability, and related expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs), arising under 43 P.S. § 788.3, 69 P.S. § 529 and 72 P.S. § 1403, 72 P.S. § 7240 and/or 72 P.S. § 7321.1, or under any comparable statutes of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (collectively, the “Bulk Sales Statutes”) for the failure of Seller to pay any taxes or other sums payable by Seller to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any agency thereof, by reason of Seller’s failure to file any tax returns and/or reports required to be filed by Seller with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or by reason of Seller’s failure to obtain and deliver to Buyer the Clearance Certificate required to be obtained under the Bulk Sales Statutes, which indemnity shall not expire unless or until Seller delivers such required Clearance Certificate to Buyer showing no taxes due. The provisions of this Section 11.20 shall survive Closing.
