(2) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the Issuing Lender of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the -31- account of Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lender's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment times the amount of such Letter of Credit. (3) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising Lender with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (1) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Los Angeles time on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan under the Revolving Commitment to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1(f) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than the delivery of a Request for Loan). Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4(c)(1) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. (2) Each Revolving Lender (including the Lender acting as Issuing Lender) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(1) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. Los Angeles time on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c)(3), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Committed Advance to Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Lender. (3) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the -32- Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(2) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.4. (4) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Committed Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Lender. (5) Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Committed Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.4(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, Borrower, any Co-Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Committed Advances pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than delivery by Borrower or any Co-Borrower of a Request for Loan). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. (6) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4(c) by the time specified in Section 2.4(c)(2), the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (6) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Repayment of Participations. (1) At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender's L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.4(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower, or the relevant Co-Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving -33- Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. (2) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(1) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.30 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (2) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (3) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (4) any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or (5) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower. Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower's or the relevant Co-Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower will immediately notify the Issuing Lender. Borrower or -34- the relevant Co-Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. (f) Role of Issuing Lender. Each Lender, Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lender, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Borrower and the relevant Co-Borrower hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower's or the relevant Co-Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lender, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (1) through (5) of Section 2.4(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower which such Borrower or such Co-Borrower proves were caused by the Issuing Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Lender's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Usage (in an amount equal to such outstanding amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be). For purposes hereof, "Cash Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the then outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Usage, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Lenders), subject to any limitations in the Intercreditor Agreement. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Any Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. -35- (h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the "International Standby Practices 1998" published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit. (i) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. (j) Fees for Modifications. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that the Issuing Lender's issuance fees shall be payable as set forth in the letter agreement referred to in Section 3.5. 2.5 Competitive Advances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date through and including the Maturity Date, each Revolving Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion make Competitive Advances to Borrower or to any Co-Borrower in Dollars pursuant to Competitive Bids accepted by Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower in such principal amounts as Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower may request pursuant to a Competitive Bid Request that do not result in the aggregate outstanding principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Competitive Revolving Notes being in excess of the Maximum Competitive Outstandings Amount, provided that after giving effect to the making of each Competitive Advance, the sum of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Committed Revolving Notes and the Competitive Revolving Notes plus the Letters of Credit Usage plus the Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed the then effective Revolving Commitment. Each Competitive Advance made to a Co-Borrower shall be directly used to finance the development, construction or operation of hotel/casino properties owned by that Co-Borrower. No Competitive Advance made by any Revolving Lender shall relieve that Revolving Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the undrawn Revolving Commitment. (b) Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall request Competitive Advances by submitting Competitive Bid Requests to the Administrative Agent, which specify the relevant date, amount and maturity of the proposed Competitive Advance and whether the Competitive Bid requested is an Absolute Rate Bid or a LIBOR Margin Bid, or both. Borrower and each Co-Borrower may submit telephonic requests for Competitive Advances. Any Competitive Bid Request made by telephone shall promptly be confirmed by the delivery to Administrative Agent in person or by telecopier of a written Competitive Bid Request. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic Competitive Bid Request purportedly made by a Responsible Official of Borrower or Co-Borrower, each of which hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting. The Competitive Bid Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 9:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on a Business Day that is at least one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Advance if an Absolute -36- Rate Bid is requested; if a LIBOR Margin Bid is requested, it must be received by the Administrative Agent five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Advance. (c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, no Competitive Bid Request may be submitted within the five Business Day period following submission of another Competitive Bid Request. (d) Each Competitive Bid Request must be made for a Competitive Advance of at least $10,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. (e) No Competitive Bid Request shall be made for a Competitive Advance with a maturity of less than 14 days or more than 180 days, or with a maturity date subsequent to the Maturity Date. (f) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Competitive Bid Request, notify the Revolving Lenders thereof by telephone and provide the Revolving Lenders a copy thereof by telecopier. Any Revolving Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers), advise the Administrative Agent that it elects not to be so notified of Competitive Bid Requests, in which case the Administrative Agent shall not notify such Revolving Lender of the Competitive Bid Request. (g) Each Revolving Lender receiving a Competitive Bid Request may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make or not make a Competitive Bid responsive to the Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 7:30 a.m. (or, in the case of the Revolving Lender which is also the Administrative Agent, not later than 7:15 a.m.) Los Angeles time, in the case of a LIBOR Margin Bid, on the date which is four Business Days prior to the requested Competitive Advance and, in the case of an Absolute Rate Bid, on the date of the requested Competitive Advance. Any Competitive Bid received by the Administrative Agent after 7:30 a.m. (or 7:15 a.m. in the case of the Revolving Lender which is also the Administrative Agent) on such date shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement. Any Competitive Bid made by telephone shall promptly be confirmed by the delivery to the Administrative Agent in person or by telecopier of a written Competitive Bid. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic Competitive Bid purportedly made by a Responsible Official of a Revolving Lender, each of which hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting with respect to that Revolving Lender. (h) Each Competitive Bid shall specify the fixed interest rate or the margin over LIBOR, as applicable, for the offered Maximum Competitive Advance set forth in the Competitive Bid. The Maximum Competitive Advance offered by a Revolving Lender in a Competitive Bid may be less than the Competitive Advance requested by Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower in the Competitive Bid Request, but, if so, shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000. Any Competitive Bid which offers an interest rate other than a fixed interest rate or a margin over LIBOR, is in a form other than set forth in Exhibit D or which otherwise contains any term, condition or provision not contained in the Competitive Bid Request shall be disregarded for purposes of this Agreement. A Competitive Bid once submitted to the Administrative Agent shall be irrevocable until 8:30 a.m. Los Angeles time, in the case of a LIBOR Margin Bid, on the date which is three Business Days prior to the requested Competitive Advance and, in the case of an Absolute Rate Bid, on the date of the proposed Competitive -37- Advance set forth in the related Competitive Bid Request, and shall expire by its terms at such time unless accepted by Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower prior thereto. (i) Promptly after 7:30 a.m. Los Angeles time, in the case of a LIBOR Margin Bid, on the date which is four Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Advance and, in the case of an Absolute Rate Bid, on the date of the proposed Competitive Advance, the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower of the names of the Revolving Lenders providing Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent at or before 7:30 a.m. on that date (or 7:15 a.m. in the case of the Revolving Lender which is also the Administrative Agent) and the Maximum Competitive Advance and fixed interest rate or margin over LIBOR set forth by each such Revolving Lender in its Competitive Bid. The Administrative Agent shall promptly confirm such notification in writing delivered in person or by telecopier to Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower. (j) Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reject any or all of the Competitive Bids. If Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower accepts any Competitive Bid, the following shall apply: (a) Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower must accept all Absolute Rate Bids at all lower fixed interest rates before accepting any portion of an Absolute Rate Bid at a higher fixed interest rate, (b) Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower must accept all LIBOR Margin Bids at all lower margins over LIBOR before accepting any portion of a LIBOR Margin Bid at a higher margin over LIBOR, (c) if two or more Revolving Lenders have submitted a Competitive Bid at the same fixed interest rate or margin, then Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower must accept either all of such Competitive Bids or accept such Competitive Bids in the same proportion as the Maximum Competitive Advance of each Revolving Lender bears to the aggregate Maximum Competitive Advances of all such Revolving Lenders, and (d) Borrower and the Co-Borrower may not accept Competitive Bids for an aggregate amount in excess of the requested Competitive Advance set forth in the Competitive Bid Request. Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower must accept (i) each LIBOR Margin Bid prior to 8:30 a.m. on the date which is three Business Days prior to the requested Competitive Advance and (iii) each Absolute Rate Bid prior to 8:30 a.m. on the date of the requested Competitive Advance or shall be deemed to have rejected the offered Competitive Advances. Acceptance of a Competitive Bid by Borrower or a Co-Borrower shall be irrevocable upon communication thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Revolving Lenders whose Competitive Bid has been accepted by Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower by telephone, which notification shall promptly be confirmed in writing delivered in person or by telecopier to such Revolving Lenders. (k) In the case of LIBOR Margin Bids, the Administrative Agent shall determine LIBOR on the date which is two Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Advance, and shall promptly thereafter notify Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower and the Revolving Lenders whose Competitive Bids were accepted by Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower of such LIBOR. (l) A Revolving Lender whose Competitive Bid has been accepted shall make the Competitive Advance in accordance with the Competitive Bid Request and with its Competitive Bid, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in this Agreement by making funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office in the amount of such Competitive Advance not later than 12:00 noon, Los Angeles time, on the date set forth in the Competitive Bid Request. The Administrative Agent shall then promptly credit the Competitive Advance in immediately available funds to the relevant Deposit Account. -38- (m) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Revolving Lenders promptly after any Competitive Advance is made of the amounts and maturity of such Competitive Advances and the identity of the Revolving Lenders making such Competitive Advances. (n) The Competitive Advances made by each Revolving Lender shall be evidenced by that Revolving Lender's Competitive Revolving Note. 2.6 Swing Line. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date the Swing Line Lender shall make Swing Line Loans to Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers in such amounts as they may request which do not result in the sum of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Committed Revolving Notes and the Competitive Revolving Notes plus the Letters of Credit Usage plus the Swing Line Outstandings exceeding the then effective Revolving Commitment (as in effect on the date of the making of the related Swing Line Loan), provided that (i) after giving effect to each Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default and (iii) the Swing Line Lender has not given at least twenty-four hours prior notice to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers that availability under the Swing Line is suspended or terminated. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section. Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 upon telephonic request by a Responsible Official of Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on the Business Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier), provided that if the requested Swing Line Loan is to be credited to an account which is not with the Swing Line Lender, the request must be submitted by 11:30 a.m., Los Angeles time. Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, the sum of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Committed Revolving Notes and the Competitive Revolving Notes plus the Letters of Credit Usage plus the Swing Line Outstandings will not exceed the then effective Revolving Commitment (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier). Unless notified to the contrary by the Swing Line Lender, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. If Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Line Outstandings each time there is a change therein or if it suspends or terminates availability under the Swing Line. (b) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin minus one percent per annum. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower for such interest. Interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (d) below). -39- (c) The Swing Line Loans shall be payable within five Business Days after demand made by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date or any earlier date when all other Obligations are due. (d) Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.6(a), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment times the amount of the Swing Line Loan. Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender through the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (subject only to the making of a demand upon that Revolving Lender by the Swing Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share under the Revolving Commitment of (i) Swing Line Loans to the extent that Swing Line Outstandings are in excess of $50,000,000 or to the extent that the sum of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Committed Revolving Notes and the Competitive Revolving Notes plus the Letters of Credit Usage plus the Swing Line Outstandings exceeds the Revolving Commitment (as in effect on the date of the making of the related Swing Line Loan) and (ii) any Swing Line Loan made (absent the consent of all of the Revolving Lenders) at any time when the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied. Each Revolving Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrower and the Co-Borrowers for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower or the Co-Borrowers with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower or the Co-Borrowers (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Revolving Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim. (e) Upon any demand for payment of the Swing Line Outstandings by the Swing Line Lender (unless Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings to $0), Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall request a Committed Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) sufficient to repay all Swing Line Outstandings (and, for this purpose, Section 2.1(f) shall not apply). In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the respective Committed Advances made by each Revolving Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers fail to request a Committed Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrower or the Co-Borrowers, cause Committed Advances to be made by the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Commitment in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above. The conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply to Committed Advances to be made by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to the three preceding sentences but the Revolving Lenders shall not be obligated to make such Committed Advances to the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) were not satisfied as to any Swing Line Loan which is part of such Swing Line Outstandings. The proceeds of such Committed Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings. 2.7 Co-Borrowers. Detroit is hereby designated as a direct Co-Borrower under this Agreement, with the right to request Loans and Letters of Credit through the Administrative Agent -40- directly from the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, provided that (a) each Loan and Letter of Credit made hereunder to Detroit or any other Co-Borrower shall be used solely and directly to finance the development, construction or operation of hotel/casino properties owned by that Co-Borrower, and (b) the liability of Detroit is limited to that portion of the Obligations which are actually borrowed or received by Detroit. From time to time following the Closing Date, Borrower may designate one or more Guarantors which are United States domestic Persons to be additional joint and several direct Co-Borrowers hereunder by written request to the Administrative Agent accompanied by (a) an executed Assumption Agreement and appropriate Notes executed by the designated Guarantor, (b) a certificate of good standing of the designated Guarantor in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (c) a certified corporate authority resolution covering the execution and delivery of the Assumption Agreement and such Notes, (d) a written consent to the Assumption Agreement executed by each other Guarantor, and (e) an appropriate written legal opinion similar to the Opinions with respect to the Co-Borrower and the Assumption Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request, together with copies of such of the foregoing as any Lender may request and the designated Guarantor shall become a Co-Borrower hereunder. 2.8 Mandatory Reductions of the Term Commitment. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall repay the Term Loans on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the Quarterly Payment Date occurring on December 31, 2005, in the related Term Amortization Amount. Each prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied to installments of principal in respect of the Term Loans in the order of their occurrence unless the Borrower otherwise specifies in writing at the time of such prepayment in a writing making reference to this Section. 2.9 Voluntary Reduction of the Commitments. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without penalty or charge, upon at least three Business Days' prior written notice by a Responsible Official of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (but in the case of assignments of Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Commitment, not less than $5,000,000), or to terminate, all or a portion of the then undisbursed portion of either of the Commitments; provided that (a) the Revolving Commitment may not be so reduced below an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Committed Revolving Notes and the Competitive Revolving Notes, plus (ii) the Letters of Credit Usage plus (iii) the Swing Line Outstandings, and (b) concurrently with each reduction of the Term Commitment, the Term Loans shall be prepaid in the same amount (with each such prepayment to be applied to Term Amortization Amounts in the inverse order of their occurrence). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction or termination of the Commitments under this Section. 2.10 Optional Termination of Commitments. Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Requisite Lenders may in their sole and absolute discretion elect to terminate the Commitments during the sixty day period immediately subsequent to the later of (a) such occurrence or (b) the earlier of (i) receipt of written notice to the Administrative Agent of the Change in Control from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, or (ii) if no such notice has been received by the Administrative Agent, the date upon which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge thereof. In the event that the Lenders elect to so terminate the Commitments, the Commitments shall be terminated effective on the date which is sixty days subsequent to written notice from the Administrative Agent to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers thereof. 2.11 Administrative Agent's Right to Assume Funds Available for Advances. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the proposed funding by the Administrative Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not intend -41- to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of the total amount of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrower or a Co-Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower or that Co-Borrower who shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower or the Co-Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its share of the Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, Borrower or any Co-Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 2.12 Release and Reattachment of Collateral. (a) If, following the Closing Date, Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are then entitled to the release of all of the Liens described in the Intercreditor Agreement, both pursuant to this Agreement, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and pursuant to the credit documents governing each of the then existing Qualified Obligations, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred and remains continuing, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may in their sole discretion request that the Administrative Agent release, and that the Administrative Agent as a Creditor Representative under the Intercreditor Agreement direct the Collateral Agent to release, each of the Liens securing the Obligations and the other Qualified Obligations. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall submit any request under this Section in the form of a Certificate, in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by a Senior Officer of Borrower and each Co-Borrower certifying that no Default or Event of Default exists, together with a written consent to the release of collateral executed by each Guarantor and such other supporting information as the Administrative Agent may request, including evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Collateral Agent and the holders of the other Qualified Obligations shall previously or concurrently release all Liens held by such creditors. Promptly upon receipt of such a Certificate, the Administrative Agent shall (i) provide a copy thereof to the Lenders, (ii) direct the Collateral Agent to return to the Persons legally entitled thereto, all Collateral pledged in support of the Obligations and the other Qualified Obligations, and (iii) release any Liens then held for the Obligations by the Administrative Agent (other than any rights of set off or other inchoate Liens), but subject to the requirement that the Liens held by the Collateral Agent and the holders of the other Qualified Obligations are previously or concurrently released, all at the sole expense of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (a "Collateral Release"). No Collateral Release shall constitute or be construed as a release (or to require the release) of the Guaranty. (b) If, following any Collateral Release, a Collateral Event occurs, then Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, promptly and in any event within thirty days following the occurrence of such Collateral Event and in any event not later than the granting of any Liens in such collateral for the benefit of any Senior Indebtedness, grant perfected Liens in the same collateral to secure the Obligations (including any Related Swap Agreements) equally, ratably and on a pari passu basis with such -42- Senior Indebtedness, provided that Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to provide Liens in any Property to the extent that Gaming Laws prohibit the granting of Liens in such Property to holders of the Obligations and the Senior Indebtedness unless and until all required approvals of Gaming Boards thereto are obtained. In such event, Borrower shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, use its best efforts to obtain all necessary consents from the applicable Gaming Boards to grant a perfected Lien on such Property securing the Obligations and such Senior Indebtedness and, upon receipt of all consents needed to grant such a perfected Lien, shall promptly take all action (or cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to take all action) reasonably necessary in order to grant and perfect such a Lien. The Liens granted pursuant to this clause (b) shall be (i) equal, ratable and pari passu with any Liens securing the other Senior Indebtedness, (ii) granted concurrently therewith, and (iii) granted pursuant to instruments, documents and agreements which are similar to the Collateral Documents or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. While each of the Liens contemplated by this clause (b) shall be equal, ratable and pari passu in the manner described above, it is acknowledged that the same may subordinate to certain prior Liens in favor of creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.6. In connection with the granting of any such Liens, Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall provide to the Administrative Agent (y) policies of title insurance on customary terms and conditions, to the extent that policies of title insurance on the corresponding Property are provided to the holders of other classes of Senior Indebtedness (and in an insured amount that is proportionately equal to the policies provided to the holders of the other classes of Senior Indebtedness), and (z) legal opinions and other assurances as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 2.13 Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations shall be and hereby are designated as "Senior Indebtedness" and "Senior Obligations" of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to all Subordinated Obligations, and all payments with respect to any Subordinated Obligations shall be subject to Section 6.1. 2.14 Collateral. As of the Closing Date and each subsequent date, unless a Collateral Release has occurred and no re-attachment has thereafter occurred, the Obligations under the Loan Documents, including each Related Swap Agreement, are secured by the Collateral contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents on an equal, ratable and pari passu basis with the other Qualified Obligations, as provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement and in the manner set forth therein. -43- ARTICLE 3 PAYMENTS AND FEES 3.1 Principal and Interest. (a) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date thereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set forth or provided for herein before and after Default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, with interest on overdue principal and interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. (b) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan on each Quarterly Payment Date shall be due and payable on that day. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9, the unpaid principal amount of any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Margin. Each change in the interest rate under this Section 3.1(b) due to a change in the Base Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Base Rate. (c) Interest accrued on each LIBOR Loan which is for a term of three months or less shall be due and payable on the last day of the related Interest Period. Interest accrued on each other LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable on the date which is three months after the date such LIBOR Loan was made (and, every three months thereafter through the last day of the Interest Period) and on the last day of the related Interest Period. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9, the unpaid principal amount of any LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR for that LIBOR Loan plus the applicable LIBOR Margin. (d) Interest accrued on each Competitive Advance shall be due and payable on the maturity date of the Competitive Advance. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9, the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Advance shall bear interest at the fixed interest rate or the margin over LIBOR specified in the related Competitive Bid. (e) If not sooner paid, the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be payable as follows: (i) the amount, if any, by which the Obligations outstanding (including, without limitation, obligations evidenced by the Competitive Revolving Notes) under the Revolving Commitment at any time exceed the then applicable Revolving Commitment, shall be payable immediately; (ii) the Term Loans shall be payable on each Quarterly Payment Date in the related Term Amortization Amount; (iii) the principal amount of each Competitive Advance shall be payable on the maturity date specified in the related Competitive Bid; and (iv) the principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall in any event be payable on the Maturity Date. (f) The Notes may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary -44- prepayment under this Section 3.1(f), (i) any partial prepayment shall be not less than $5,000,000, or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 which are in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment by 9:00 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the Business Day prior to the date of prepayment (which must be a Business Day) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) each prepayment of principal on any LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal paid, (iv) any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be subject to Section 3.8(e) and (v) each prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to Term Amortization Amounts in the inverse order of their maturity. Promptly following receipt of a notice of prepayment under clause (ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier) of the date and amount thereof. (g) No Competitive Revolving Note may be prepaid without the prior written consent of the Lender making such Competitive Advance. 3.2 Joint Lead Arranger's Fees. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to the Joint Lead Arrangers fees in the amounts heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers. These fees are for the services of the Joint Lead Arrangers in arranging the credit facilities under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid and are nonrefundable. 3.3 Upfront Fees. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, upfront fees in an amount equal to (a) that Lender's allocated Pro Rata Share of the relevant Commitments times (b) a fee percentage based upon the amount of the offered commitment of that Lender to the credit facilities described herein, as set forth in a written confirmation delivered to that Lender by the Lead Arranger, provided that the fee percentage for Bank of America shall be as set forth in a letter agreement with Bank of America. Such upfront fees are for the credit facilities committed by each Lender under this Agreement and are fully earned when paid. The upfront fees paid to each Lender are solely for its own account and are nonrefundable. 3.4 Unused Fees. From the Closing Date, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Commitment, an unused fee equal to the Unused Fee Rate in effect from time to time times the difference between (a) the principal amount of the Revolving Commitment, and (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations outstanding from time to time under the Revolving Commitment (including the Letters of Credit), other than the Swing Line Outstandings and other than the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Competitive Revolving Notes (the "Unused Fee"). The Unused Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the Maturity Date upon the date of any partial reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitment pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.10 or 11.26. 3.5 Letter of Credit Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay the following fees: (a) concurrently with the issuance of each Standby Letter of Credit, a letter of credit issuance fee to the Issuing Lender for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, in an amount set forth in a letter agreement between Borrower and the Issuing Lender; -45- (b) concurrently with the issuance of each Standby Letter of Credit, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Commitment, a standby letter of credit fee in an amount equal to the applicable Standby Letter of Credit Fee per annum as of the date of such issuance times the face amount of such Standby Letter of Credit through the termination or expiration of such Standby Letter of Credit, which the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Lenders; and (c) concurrently with each issuance, negotiation, drawing or amendment of each Commercial Letter of Credit, to the Issuing Lender for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, issuance, negotiation, drawing and amendment fees in the amounts set forth from time to time as the Issuing Lender's published scheduled fees for such services. Each of the fees payable with respect to Letters of Credit under this Section is earned when due and is nonrefundable. 3.6 Agency Fees. On the Closing Date and annually thereafter, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an agency fee in such amounts as heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between Borrower and Bank of America and the Lead Arranger. The agency fee is for the services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as Administrative Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The agency fee paid to the Administrative Agent is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable. 3.7 Increased Commitment Costs. If any Lender shall determine in good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender, with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such central bank or other authority, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten Business Days after demand of such Lender, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified in good faith by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, provided that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety days preceding the date of such demand. Each Lender's determination of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs or diminished rate of return on capital have been incurred or sustained by the Lender. If Borrower and the Co-Borrowers become obligated to pay a material amount under this Section to any Lender, that Lender will be subject to removal in accordance with Section 11.26; provided that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have paid such amount to that Lender and that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, within the thirty day period following the date of such payment, shall have notified that Lender in writing of their intent to so remove the Lender. -46- 3.8 LIBOR Costs and Related Matters. (a) In the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any Lender any reserve or comparable requirement (including any emergency, supplemental or other reserve) with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "eurocurrency liabilities") of that Lender, Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower shall pay that Lender within five Business Days after demand all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (determined as though such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Market) in respect of the imposition of such reserve requirements. The Lender's determination of such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance: (1) shall subject any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or cost with respect to any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income, gross income or gross receipts, (ii) franchise taxes imposed by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business," and (iii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then available under applicable Laws; (2) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office); or (3) shall impose on any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office or the Designated Market any other condition affecting any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances, its obligation to make LIBOR Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the same; and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Advance or in respect of any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office with respect to any LIBOR Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Advances or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances (assuming such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Market), then, within five Business Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional -47- amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender's LIBOR Lending Office had funded 100% of its LIBOR Advance in the Designated Market). A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this subsection and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (c) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Advance or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender's obligation to make LIBOR Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Base Rate Advances on either (1) the last day of the Interest Period(s) applicable to such LIBOR Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Advances to such day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a prepayment fee under clause (e) of this Section. Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower and the Co-Borrowers of any event occurring after the Closing Date of which it has actual knowledge, which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above, to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Loan or Advance, such Lender shall fund such amount as a Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as a Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose obligation to make LIBOR Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension. (d) If, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Loan: (1) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Designated Market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the Designated Market for the applicable Interest Period; or (2) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the Designated Market in the relevant amount for the applicable Interest Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable LIBOR Advances; then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower or the relevant Co-Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future LIBOR Advances shall be suspended unless (but -48- only if clause (2) above is the basis for such suspension) Borrower and each Co-Borrower notify the Administrative Agent in writing that they elect to pay the Enhanced LIBOR Margin with respect to all LIBOR Loans made during such period. (e) Upon payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Advance (other than as the result of a conversion required under clause (c) of this Section) on a day other than the last day in the applicable Interest Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or upon the failure of Borrower or any Co-Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to make an Advance) to borrow on the date or in the amount specified for a LIBOR Advance in any Request for Loan or Competitive Bid Request, or upon the failure of Borrower or any Co-Borrower to prepay a LIBOR Loan or Advance on the date specified in a notice of prepayment delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.1(f), Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Lender within 10 Business Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to borrow fee or failure to prepay fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of that Lender's LIBOR Advance had been funded in the Designated Market), equal to the sum of: (1) the principal amount of the LIBOR Advance prepaid or not borrowed or prepaid, as the case may be, times (the number of days from and including the date of prepayment or failure to borrow or prepay, as applicable, to but excluding the last day in the applicable Interest Period divided by 360) times the applicable Interest Differential (provided that the product of the foregoing formula must be a positive number); plus (2) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow. Each Lender's determination of the amount of any prepayment fee, failure to borrow fee or failure to prepay fee payable under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (f) Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower and the Co-Borrowers of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have been incurred by the Lender. (g) If any Lender claims compensation or is excused from making or continuing LIBOR Loans or Advances under this Section: (i) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may at any time, upon at least four Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender and upon payment in full of the amounts provided for in this Section through the date of such payment plus any prepayment fee (subject to clause (c) of this Section) required by clause (e) of this Section, pay in full the affected LIBOR Advances of such Lender or request that such LIBOR Advances be converted to Base Rate Advances; and -49- (ii) In the case where Borrower and the Co-Borrowers become obligated to pay a material amount under this Section to any Lender, that Lender will be subject to removal in accordance with Section 11.26; provided that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have paid such amount to that Lender and that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, within the thirty day period following the date of such payment, shall have notified that Lender in writing of their intent to so remove the Lender. 3.9 Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the rate otherwise payable with respect thereto plus 2% per annum (or, in the case of any Obligations which do not bear stated interest, at the rate then otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2% per annum), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 3.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed; computation of interest on LIBOR Loans, Competitive Advances and all fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers acknowledge that such latter calculation method will result in a higher yield to the Lenders than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal. 3.11 Non-Business Days. If any payment to be made by Borrower, any of the Co-Borrowers or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees. 3.12 Manner and Treatment of Payments. (a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent's Office, for the account of each of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (other than payments with respect to Swing Line Loans, which must be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender and received by 3:00 p.m.), Los Angeles time, on the day of payment (which must be a Business Day). All payments received after such time, on any Business Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, Los Angeles time, on a Business Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. -50- (b) Each payment or prepayment on account of any Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Lender comprising such Loan. (c) Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record (which may be in tangible or electronic or other intangible form) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and such record shall, as against Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower's and the Co-Borrowers' joint and several obligations to pay the Obligations. (d) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by overall net income, gross income or gross receipts, (ii) franchise taxes imposed on any Lender by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business," (iii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America that are not attributable to any change in any Law or the interpretation or administration of any Law by any Governmental Agency and (iv) any withholding tax or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then available under applicable Laws (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). To the extent that Borrower or any other Party is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, they shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender's receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrower or the relevant Party. If Borrower or any such Party becomes obligated to pay a material amount under this Section to any Lender, that Lender will be subject to removal in accordance with Section 11.26; provided that Borrower or the relevant Party shall have paid such amount to that Lender and that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, within the thirty day period following the date of such payment, shall have notified that Lender in writing of their intent to so remove the Lender. (e) All payments to be made by Borrower or any Co-Borrower shall be made without conditions or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. 3.13 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner, provided that each Lender which is not a bank under the laws of the United States or any state thereof severally represents and warrants that it has obtained the funds for its Advances in compliance with applicable Laws and that the making of its Advances will not constitute "prohibited transactions" as such term is defined in ERISA. -51- 3.14 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's right to require full payment of any interest (including interest at the Default Rate), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion. 3.15 Administrative Agent's Right to Assume Payments Will be Made. Unless Borrower, any Co-Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that Borrower, such Co-Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower, such Co-Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then: (a) if Borrower or any Co-Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and (b) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower or any Co-Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the "Compensation Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Advance included in the applicable Loan. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent's demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon Borrower or the Co-Borrowers, if applicable, and Borrower or the Co-Borrowers, if applicable, shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Advance. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent, Borrower or any Co-Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender, any Co-Borrower or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 3.15 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 3.16 Fee Determination Detail. The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Creditors, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment. 3.17 Survivability. All of Borrower's and the Co-Borrowers' obligations under Sections 3.7 and 3.8 shall survive for ninety days following the date on which the Commitments are -52- terminated, all Obligations hereunder are fully paid and all Letters of Credit have expired. -53- ARTICLE 4 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES Borrower and each Co-Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders on the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that: 4.1 Existence and Qualification; Power; Compliance With Laws.

Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a Party will, when executed and delivered by such Party, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, Gaming Laws or equitable principles relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion. 4.11 No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing that is a Default or Event of Default. 4.12 ERISA (a) With respect to each Pension Plan: (i) such Pension Plan complies in all material respects with ERISA and any other applicable Laws to the extent that noncompliance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; -56- (ii) such Pension Plan has not incurred any "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) no "reportable event" (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in any non-exempt "prohibited transaction" (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(m): (1) the Commitments to make Advances, the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, the obligation of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans and all other obligations of the Creditors and all rights of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any Co-Borrower, which are -72- expressly waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, except that all of the Lenders may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and rights and make further Advances and to cause the Issuing Lender to issue further Letters of Credit, which determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; (2) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable to the Issuing Lender without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any Co-Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, to be held by the Issuing Lender in an interest-bearing account as collateral for the Letters of Credit; and (3) the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers.

Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Creditors, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Creditors under the Loan Documents. Amounts due to a Lender under a Related Swap Agreement shall be considered a principal amount for purposes of the preceding sentence.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. (b) The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article 10 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Article 10 and in the definition of "Agent-Related Person" included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender. 10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 10.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or -74- thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Party or any Affiliate thereof. 10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 8.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 10.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with Article 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 10.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own -75- appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower and the other Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 10.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Party and without limiting the obligation of any Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or, if required by Section 11.2, all of the Lenders) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 10.8 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Bank of America in its individual capacity. 10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Lenders; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender. The -76- Administrative Agent shall, in connection with any such resignation, make appropriate arrangements to ensure that, to the extent that it then holds any capital stock or other equity securities of any Person which is a gaming licensee as collateral for the Obligations, that any transfer of possession of such pledged securities to any successor is in full compliance with the requirements of all relevant Gaming Boards. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender and the respective terms "Administrative Agent," "L/C Issuer" and "Swing Line Lender" shall mean such successor administrative agent, Letter of Credit issuer and Swing Line Lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated and the retiring Issuing Lender's and Swing Line Lender's rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender or any other Lender, other than the obligation of the successor Issuing Lender to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or to make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 and Sections 11.3 and 11.11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Article 3 and Section 11.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative -77- Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Article 3 and Section 11.3. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 10.11 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a "syndication agent," "documentation agent," "co-agent," "book manager," "lead manager," "arranger," "lead arranger" or "co-arranger" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 10.12 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of any collateral or interests therein received or held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with Section 9.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the Lenders' interest in the collateral or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders, except that Obligations owed to any Lender under a Related Swap Agreement shall be secured on an equal, ratable and pari passu basis with all other Obligations in an amount equal to (i) the marked to market exposure under the ISDA Master Agreement covering the Related Swap Agreement, or (ii) if not governed by an ISDA Master Agreement, an amount equal the Administrative Agent's then customary credit risk factor for Swap Agreements times the notional amount of Indebtedness covered by such Related Swap Agreement and, in each case shall be secured on a subordinate basis as to amounts in excess of such amount. 10.13 Foreclosure on Collateral. In the event of foreclosure or enforcement of the Lien created by any of the Loan Documents, title to any collateral encumbered thereby shall be taken and held (a) by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or (b) by Administrative Agent (or an Affiliate or designee thereof) pro rata for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the Obligations outstanding to each of them and shall be administered in accordance with the standard form of collateral holding participation agreement used by the Administrative Agent in comparable syndicated credit facilities. 10.14 Intercreditor Arrangements; Attornment Agreements. Each of the Creditors and the other Parties acknowledges that the Collateral for the Obligations, and the rights of the Administrative Agent to take action with respect thereto, are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by the other Creditors to: -78- (a) take any discretionary action, or exercise any prerogatives, provided to a Creditor Representative pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement; (b) enter into attornment, non-disturbance and estoppel agreements acceptable to the Administrative Agent with lessees of interests in leases of real property from Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted hereby; (c) provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, enter into or approve, as Creditor Representative, such amendments to the Collateral Documents as are required to secure additional Qualified Obligations designated by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; and (d) provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains continuing, enter into such instruments, documents or agreements as are reasonably required to release or partially release, or authorize the Collateral Agent to release or partially release, the Liens of the Collateral Documents under the circumstances described in, and subject to the conditions set forth in, Section 2.12(a) or Section 11.2, as applicable. 10.15 No Obligations of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers. Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower or any Co-Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Creditors under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower or the Co-Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower's and the Co-Borrowers' obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement. -79- ARTICLE 11 MISCELLANEOUS 11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Creditors provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Creditors; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit without prejudicing the Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan. 11.2 Amendments; Consents. Each amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination, waiver, approval and consent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the terms of all applicable Laws, including Gaming Laws. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the approval of Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a Party, signed by each such Party, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement to Article 10, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of all the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective: (a) Without the consent of each affected Lender, (i) to reduce the principal of, or the amount of principal, principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any Note, or (ii) to increase the amount of the Commitments or the Pro Rata Share of any Lender or (iii) to reduce the amount of any Unused Fee payable to any Revolving Lender, or any other fee or amount payable to any Lender under the Loan Documents or (iv) to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower or the Co-Borrowers to pay when due principal, interest or any Unused Fee or other fee; (b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Note or any installment of any Unused Fee, or to extend the term of either of the Commitments; (c) To permit the term of any Letter of Credit to exceed one year (provided that this shall not be construed to prohibit the provision of automatic renewal clauses in Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or extend beyond the Maturity Date; (d) To release the Guaranty, the Collateral Documents or any other material portion of any collateral for the Obligations, or to permit the Collateral Agent to take any such action (except in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement), provided that if no Default or Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may without the consent of any Lender (and shall at the request of Borrower), (i) release its Lien in any personal property financed or leased by Borrower or its Subsidiaries and granted a Lien in accordance with Section -80- 6.6(e), (ii) release its Lien in any collateral as otherwise may be expressly provided for in any Loan Document, (iii) release its Lien in the equity securities of, and all Guaranty Obligations executed by, any Subsidiary which is the subject of a Disposition not prohibited by Section 6.2, (iv) subordinate its Lien with respect to any Property which is the subject of a Disposition not prohibited by Section 6.2, (v) release its Lien in any Property which is the subject of a Distribution not prohibited by this Agreement, and (vi) release all of the Liens under the Loan Documents in a Collateral Release under Section 2.12, or shall, in each case to the extent such Lien or Guaranty Obligations are held by the Collateral Agent, shall to the extent permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement direct the Collateral Agent to take such actions. (e) To amend the provisions of the definitions of "Requisite Lenders" or "Maturity Date"; (f) To amend or waive Article 8, Section 6.4 or this Section; or (g) To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders. Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all of the Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 11.3 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any "workout" or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.3 shall be payable within five Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. (b) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (1) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by overall net income, gross income or gross receipts and franchise taxes imposed on any Lender by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is "doing business", (2) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by -81- the United States of America that are not attributable to any change in any Law or the interpretation or administration of any Law by any Governmental Agency and (3) any withholding tax or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 the Creditors from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section shall bear interest from the second Business Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate. 11.4 Nature of Lenders' Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Creditors or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or any Affiliate of Borrower. Each Lender's obligation to make any Advance pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several, and in the case of the initial Advance only is conditioned upon the performance by all other Lenders of their obligations to make initial Advances. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share of any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the non-Defaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, to replace such a Lender in default. 11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Letter of Credit, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 11.6 Notices. (a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection (c) below) electronic mail address, and all -82- notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: (1) if to Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 11.6 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and (2) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below), when delivered; provided, however, that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voicemail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature. (c) Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information as provided in Section 7.1, and to distribute Loan Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose. (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic requests for Loans and Swing Line Loans) that, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, are purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower or any Co-Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice that, in the reasonable judgment of such Agent-Related Person, is purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower or any Co-Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications -83- with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. (e) Notice to Borrower is Notice to Co-Borrowers. Borrower and the Co-Borrower expressly agree that the credit facilities provided hereunder are being provided for the joint convenience of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including the Co-Borrowers, and that (despite the joint and several nature of the Obligations), it is expected that Borrower shall administer the Advances and Letters of Credit on behalf of itself and the Co-Borrowers. Accordingly, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers agree that any notice provided to Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to constitute the same notice to the Co-Borrowers, without the requirement that separate notices be provided to the Co-Borrowers. 11.7 Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party followed by prompt transmission of an original signature. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto. 11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower and the Co-Borrowers are a Party will be binding upon and inure to the exclusive benefit of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Creditors, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may not assign their respective rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Notes with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of its Notes must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge. (b) From time to time, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of either or both of the Commitments, provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (none of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) in the case of assignments of a Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment, such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by each of the Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (none of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment Agreement, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Pro Rata Share of the relevant Commitment by the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not -84- assign a Pro Rata Share that is less than $1,000,000, (v) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment Agreement, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment Agreement, (vi) such assignment shall be of a constant and non-varying percentage of the Pro Rata Share of the assigning Lender, and (vii) the assignor Lender shall have paid a $3500 assignment fee to the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of such Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share set forth therein and, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers agree that they shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrower of appropriate Notes) to such assignee Lender, a Committed Advance Note evidencing that assignee Lender's Pro Rata Share of the appropriate Commitment and a Competitive Revolving Note, and to the assigning Lender, a Committed Advance Note evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata Share of the appropriate Commitment retained by the assigning Lender. (c) By executing and delivering a Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the performance by Borrower and its Subsidiaries of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment Agreement; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share held by each Lender, giving effect to each Assignment Agreement. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Creditors shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Share listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Pro Rata Share shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Share 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 Pro Rata Share. -85- (e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (including another Lender) in a portion of its Pro Rata Share (or in Competitive Advances made by that Lender); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.11 and 11.22 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers does not exceed the cost which Borrower and the Co-Borrowers would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitments, or in the granting Lender's Pro Rata Share, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby, and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (A) extend the Maturity Date or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to the Lenders, (B) reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or any other monetary amount payable to the Lenders, (C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal due under the Notes, (D) release the Guaranty, or (E) change the definition of "Requisite Lenders." (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the rights of the Lenders to make assignments of, and grant participations in, their Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments shall be subject to the approval of any Gaming Board, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, and to compliance with applicable securities laws, if any. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to one or more SPC's established or maintained by that Granting Lender the option to provide all or any part of any Loan or Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.6, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if a SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and each SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained. Each SPC shall be conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, and the Administrative Agent, the other Creditors, Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and each other Party shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans and Advances made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by a SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitments of the Granting Lender (and, if such Loan is a Competitive Advance, shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders) to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the related Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, -86- provided that the Granting Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.8, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower, the Co-Borrowers or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder), provided that neither the consent of the SPC or of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent of participants is required under Section 11.8(e)(vi), and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 11.14) any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 11.9 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and/or any of their Property in its possession against the Obligations. 11.10 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim against Borrower, any Co-Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lender a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lender and shall pay to the other Lender a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender's share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower, any Co-Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower or a Co-Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower and each Co-Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased. -87- 11.11 Indemnification by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower and each Co-Borrower jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 11.11 shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 11.12 Nonliability of the Lenders. Borrower and each Co-Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower and its Subsidiaries made by or through the Creditors are for purposes of administration of the Loans and Letters of Credit only and Borrower and its Affiliates are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower or its Subsidiaries); (b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Creditors pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Creditors; (c) The relationship between Borrower and the Co-Borrowers and the Creditors is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a -88- fiduciary or other "special" relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Creditors in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Creditors and neither Borrower, the Co-Borrowers nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and (d) The Creditors shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower and the Co-Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the Creditors harmless on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim. 11.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Creditors in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, the Creditors, and the Creditors' successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8, 11.11, and 11.28 no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof. 11.14 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Creditors (or, subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions, Affiliates of any Creditor); (b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower and the Co-Borrowers or any Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers or any Lender, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e) to any Gaming Board having regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower or its Subsidiaries, provided that each Lender agrees to use its best efforts to notify Borrower and the Co-Borrowers of any such disclosure unless prohibited by applicable Laws; (f) as required by Law or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are adverse parties; and (g) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Lender's interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section. For purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any information respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by Borrower to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by Borrower or its Subsidiaries to any Person not associated with Borrower without a confidentiality agreement or obligation substantially similar to this Section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, "confidential information" shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated -89- hereby. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Creditors to Borrower or any other Party. 11.15 Further Assurances. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document. 11.16 Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the letter agreements referred to in Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6, comprise the complete and integrated agreements of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Creditors in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 11.17 Governing Law. Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the local Laws of Nevada. 11.18 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 11.19 Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose. 11.20 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. 11.21 Foreign Lenders and Participants. (a) Tax Forms. (1) Each Lender that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any -90- exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. (2) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender. (3) Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 3.12(d) (A) with respect to any taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 11.21(a) or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.21(a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 11.21(a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 11.21(a) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.12(d) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate. (4) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan -91- Documents with respect to which Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 11.21(a). (b) Form W-9. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction. (c) Withholding. If any Governmental Agency asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 11.22 Hazardous Material Indemnity. Borrower and each Co-Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (and any successor to a Lender) and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers), arising directly or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in, under or about any Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower its Subsidiaries or any of their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Real Property (other than a Lender or a representative of a Lender), in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property; provided that, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding (including Exhibit K), the liability of Detroit shall be limited to that portion of the Obligations which are actually borrowed or received by Detroit. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any Real Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous Materials on any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the Creditors. Borrower and each Co-Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers under this Section (and under Sections 4.17 and 5.4, with respect to compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws) shall be unlimited corporate obligations of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers and shall not be secured by any deed of trust or mortgage on any Real Property. Any obligation or liability of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers to any Indemnitee under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the repayment of all -92- Loans, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders. 11.23 Gaming Boards. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agree to cooperate with all Gaming Boards in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Board relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the Loan Documents. 11.24 Lien Releases. The Administrative Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent on any collateral for the Obligations (and shall consent to the release by the Collateral Agent of any Liens held by the Collateral Agent) which is (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents, (ii) constituting Property leased to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents or which will concurrently expire and which has not been, and is not intended by Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary to be, renewed or extended, (iii) consisting of an instrument, if the Indebtedness evidenced by such instrument has been finally repaid in full, (iv) if approved or consented to by those of the Lenders required by Section 11.2, (v) for the avoidance of doubt, of the Golden Nugget Properties (and the stock of entities owning the Golden Nugget Properties) upon any permitted sale, transfer or other disposition of the Golden Nugget Properties, or (vi) as otherwise expressly required by the Loan Documents, provided in each case that any Liens securing the other Senior Indebtedness are concurrently released. If the collateral so released consists of capital stock of a Subsidiary which is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in connection with any transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent shall concurrently also release such Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty. Each of the Creditors hereby consent to the arrangements set forth in this Section and, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall promptly provide written confirmation of the authority of the Administrative Agent to release such Liens (or to consent to such release by the Collateral Agent) upon any one or more items of collateral under this Section. 11.25 Termination; Release of Liens. In addition to any Collateral Release as contemplated in Section 2.12, upon (a) the expiration or termination of the Commitments, (b) the full and final payment in Cash of the Loans, all interest and fees with respect thereto, (c) the reimbursement of all draws under Letters of Credit and the payment of all fees with respect thereto, (d) the expiration of all Letters of Credit or the deposit of Cash collateral with the Issuing Lender in the effective face amount thereof, (e) the payment of all amounts then demanded by any Lender or indemnitee under Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.11 and 11.22 and (f) the payment of all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to, and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, execute and deliver to Borrower and the Co-Borrowers discharges from further compliance with the covenants contained in Articles 5, 6, and 7 and releases of the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and shall return any Property pledged to the Administrative Agent as collateral for the Obligations, notwithstanding the survival of any provisions of this Agreement herein provided for. 11.26 Removal of a Lender. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall have the right to remove a Lender as a party to this Agreement in accordance with this Section (a) under the circumstances set forth in Sections 2.11, 3.7, 3.8(g) and 3.12(d) and (b) if such Lender is the subject of a Disqualification. If Borrower and the Co-Borrowers are entitled to remove a Lender pursuant to this Section either: -93- (x) Upon notice from Borrower and the Co-Borrowers, the Lender being removed shall execute and deliver a Assignment Agreement covering that Lender's Pro Rata Share in favor of one or more Eligible Assignees designated by Borrower and the Co-Borrowers (and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), subject to (i) payment of a purchase price by such Eligible Assignee equal to all principal and accrued interest, fees and other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement through the date of assignment and (ii) the written release of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender of such Lender's obligations under Sections 2.4(c) and 2.6(d) or delivery by such Eligible Assignee of such appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) as such Lender may reasonably require with respect to its participation interest in any Letters of Credit then outstanding or any Swing Line Outstandings; or (y) Except in the case of the removal of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, Borrower and the Co-Borrowers may reduce the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9 (and, for this purpose, the numerical requirements of such Section shall not apply) by an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share, pay and provide to such Lender the amounts, assurances and indemnities described in subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (x) above and release such Lender from its Pro Rata Share. 11.27 Joint and Several. Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers shall be obligated for all of the Obligations on a joint and several basis, notwithstanding which of them may have directly received the proceeds of any particular Loan or Advance or the benefit of a particular Letter of Credit, provided that, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding (including Exhibit K), the liability of Detroit shall be limited to that portion of the Obligations which are actually borrowed or received by Detroit. Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the Loan Documents, Borrower, the Co-Borrowers and the Guarantors constitute a single integrated financial enterprise and that each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement. Borrower and the Co-Borrowers each waive all defenses arising under the Laws of suretyship, to the extent such Laws are applicable, in connection with their joint and several obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower and each of the Co-Borrowers agree to the Joint Borrower Provisions set forth in Exhibit K, incorporated by this reference. 11.28 Non-Involvement of Tracinda. The parties hereto acknowledge that neither Kirk Kerkorian nor Tracinda Corporation, individually or collectively, is a party to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree that in the event (i) there is any alleged breach or default by any Party under this Agreement or any such Loan Document, or (ii) any party hereto has any claim arising from or relating to any such Loan Document, no party hereto, nor any party claiming through it (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), shall commence any proceedings or otherwise seek to impose any liability whatsoever against Mr. Kerkorian or Tracinda Corporation by reason of such alleged breach, default or claim. 11.29 Pledged Stock in Gaming Companies.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or any Co-Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 11.31 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

BORROWER AND EACH CO-BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 11.2. BORROWER AND EACH CO-BORROWER AGREE THAT THEY WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 11.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. -95- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
