This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Securities Purchase Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth above by and among Revel AC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), its wholly owned subsidiary Revel AC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Revel AC”), and the Purchaser.

The Issuer has authorized the sale and issuance to certain purchasers of up to an aggregate of 152,200 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) $2,000 principal amount of 12% Second Lien Notes due 2018 of the Issuer (each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), and totaling $304,400,000 aggregate principal amount, and (ii) a warrant (in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto) exercisable to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Issuer, with the warrants exercisable in the aggregate for 152,200,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “Warrants” and the shares for which the Warrants are exercisable, the “Warrant Shares”).

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture (as defined below) will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Debt Securities” and, collectively with the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, the “Securities”), as provided in the Indenture, by the guarantors listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreements (as defined in the Indenture), all of the Issuer’s and Guarantors’ obligations under the Debt Securities will be secured by Liens (as defined in the Indenture) on certain assets of the Issuer and the Guarantors (subject to prior ranking Liens in favor of the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and other exceptions and limitations as set forth in the Indenture) (the “Collateral”).


The Notes and the Warrants comprising a Unit will not be separately transferable until the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the consummation of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Indenture).

A COPY OF THE SECURITYHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

No Person or group (other than a Permitted Holder) may hold or beneficially own (i) shares of Common Stock representing 5% or more of the actual outstanding shares of Common Stock unless such Person is an “institutional investor” which meets the qualifications for a “passive investor” under the New Jersey Casino Control Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “New Jersey Gaming Laws”), in which case such limitation shall be 25% (provided that for this purpose, holding or beneficially owning Warrants shall not be considered beneficial ownership of the underlying shares of Common Stock unless and until such Warrants are exercised), or (ii) Warrants exercisable for 25% or more of the outstanding shares (on a fully diluted basis giving effect to exercise of all of the Warrants) of Common Stock ((i) and (ii), together, the “Ownership Limitations”). “Permitted Holder” means (i) members of Company management who own shares of Common Stock on the date hereof, and their affiliates and family members, and (ii) any trust, corporation, partnership or other entity, the beneficiaries, stockholders, partners, members, managers, owners or Persons beneficially holding a controlling interest of which (or Persons which are the principal beneficiaries of which) consist of any one or more of the Persons referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i), and (iii) any group which consists exclusively of Persons referred to in the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii).

The Company may institute legal proceedings to force rescission of a Transfer prohibited by this Section 3(a) and to seek any other remedy available to it at law, in equity or otherwise, including an injunction prohibiting any such Transfer.


(b) As used herein, the following terms have the following respective meanings:

affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under, direct or indirect, common control with such specified Person.

Prior to due presentation for registration of Transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent thereof may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), and the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary or be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or an interest in any Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate on the part of any other Person and shall not be liable for any registration of Transfer of such Warrant that is registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary unless made with actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing a breach of trust in requesting such registration of Transfer or with such knowledge of such facts that its participation therein amount to bad faith. When a Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate is presented to the Warrant Agent with a request to register the Transfer thereof, the Warrant Agent shall register the Transfer as requested if the requirements of this Warrant are met.

(b) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to Sections 7 and 8, a Holder may exercise a Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate by delivering to the Warrant Agent (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly executed, (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Exercise/Transfer Certificate, and (iii) payment in full of the Exercise Price then in effect for each Warrant Share as to which a Warrant is exercised and any documentary, stamp or transfer tax, or other applicable tax or governmental charges ((i) through (iii), collectively, the “Exercise Delivery Documents”); provided, however, that in lieu of exercising such Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to exercise such Warrant on a cashless basis, in which event the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Cashless Consideration. If such Warrant is exercised on a cash basis, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price due shall be made by the Holder by check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company. The date such items (other than the payment of cash in the case of a cashless exercise) are delivered to the Warrant Agent (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” On or before the tenth Business Day following the date on which the Warrant Agent has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (other than the payment of cash in the case of a cashless exercise) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Warrant Agent shall (i) transfer promptly to, or upon the written order of, the Holder of such Warrant, appropriate evidence of ownership of any shares of Common Stock or other securities or property (including money) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or otherwise placed in such name or names as may be directed in writing by the Holder, and (ii) deliver such evidence of ownership and any other securities or property (including money) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same (together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock, if applicable, as provided in Section 8).

Any Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate which is exercised hereunder shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the open of business on the first Business Day following the Exercise Date, and the Person entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock or other securities or property deliverable upon such exercise shall, as between such Person and the Company, be deemed to be the Holder of such shares of Common Stock or other securities or property of record as of the open of business on such date and shall be entitled to receive any money, shares of Common Stock or other securities or property to which such Person would have been entitled had he been a record holder on such date.

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate shall be made without charge to the Holder for any incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such units; provided, however, that the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be required to pay any tax which


may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares or Warrants. The Holder shall be responsible for all tax liability that may arise as a result of beneficially owning Warrants evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 6.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrants evidenced hereby are outstanding, (i) declares a dividend on its outstanding Common Stock in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event; provided that in the case of an adjustment as a result of a dividend declaration, if such declared dividend is not paid, such adjustment will be reversed. In the event that any dividends of cash or other property are made on outstanding Common Stock during the period when the Warrants are outstanding but have not been exercised, the Company shall reserve a pro rata portion of such dividends for distribution, or otherwise make arrangements to pay a pro rata portion of such dividends, to Warrant holders upon exercise of the Warrants. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Global Warrant Certificate shall be increased or decreased proportionately, as applicable, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(b) Reclassification Event. If, at any time while this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrants evidenced hereby are outstanding, the Company effects any recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock or any reorganization, liquidation, consolidation or acquisition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (whether through merger of the Company or a Sale), in which the Common Stock is converted into, exchanged for or purchased for a different number, type or amount of shares or other securities or assets or a Change of Control Event in which all or a portion of the Common Stock is acquired, in each case other than a Mandatory Exercise Event (as defined herein) (a “Reclassification Event”), then the Holders of Warrants shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of a Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate (at such time as such Warrant is exercisable following the Opening Trigger Date or in connection with a subsequent Liquidity Event and subject to Sections 7 and 8), the same number or amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Reclassification Event if it had been, immediately prior to such Reclassification Event, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of such Warrant.


(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(d) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 6, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Global Warrant Certificate and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Global Warrant Certificate (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Warrant Agent.

8. Mandatory Exercise Upon a Mandatory Exercise Event. Upon the consummation of a Change of Control Event or a Sale, in each case which constitutes a Liquidity Event (each, a “Mandatory Exercise Event”), upon no less than ten days notice to the Holder by the Company, all Warrants evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate shall automatically, without further action by the Holder, be deemed exercised in full on a cashless basis, in which event each such Warrant will be compulsorily exchanged into the kind and number or amount of shares of Common Stock or other securities or assets to which such Holder would have been entitled as a result of such Mandatory Exercise Event had such Warrant been exercised on a cashless basis in accordance with the calculation set forth in Section 9 for the underlying shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Mandatory Exercise Event.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Mandatory Exercise Event which is a Change of Control Event and in which less than 100% of the Common Stock is being acquired by the applicable acquiror, such consideration shall be deemed to consist of (i) shares of Common Stock and (ii) the shares, other securities, cash or other assets being paid by the applicable acquiror, in proportion to the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock being acquired by the applicable acquiror. For example, if the applicable acquiror is acquiring 60% of the outstanding Common Stock, a Holder would receive upon mandatory exercise (i) shares of Common Stock for 40% of the shares underlying such Holder’s Warrant and (ii) the shares, other securities, cash or other assets being paid by the applicable acquiror for 60% of the shares underlying such Holder’s Warrant.

9. Majority Exercise Events. Within 30 days prior to (i) the Opening Trigger Date or (ii) the anticipated consummation of a Liquidity Event that is not a Mandatory Exercise Event, as applicable (each, a “Majority Exercise Event”), the Company shall provide, or cause to be provided to the Holders or the representative thereof identified to the Company in accordance with the Securityholders’ Agreement (the “Holder Representative”) notice of such Majority Exercise Event. In the event that the Holder Representative notifies the Company at least ten days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Company) prior to such Majority Exercise Event that the Holders desire to exercise a majority of the Warrants upon the occurrence of such Majority Exercise Event, then upon the occurrence of such Majority Exercise Event, all of the outstanding Warrants shall automatically, without further action by the Holder, be deemed exercised in full on a cashless basis, in which event each such Warrant will be


compulsorily exchanged into the Cashless Consideration In the event that the Holder Representative does not notify the Company at least ten days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Company) prior to such Majority Exercise Event that the Holders desire to exercise a majority of the Warrants upon the occurrence of such Majority Exercise Event, then the Warrants shall remain outstanding and unexercised and no Warrants shall be permitted to be exercised until the earlier to occur of (i) a Mandatory Exercise Event, in which case all Warrants shall be mandatorily exercised in accordance with Section 7 hereof, and (ii) ten days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Company) after the date that the Holder Representative notifies the Company that the Holders desire to exercise a majority of the Warrants, in which case all of the Warrants shall be mandatorily exercised in accordance with the terms hereof on such tenth day following such notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Company).

10. Calculation of Consideration for Cashless Exercise. If, upon a cashless exercise of a Warrant, (i) the Holder thereof is entitled to receive securities or assets other than Common Stock, such Holder shall receive such number of securities and/or such amount of assets based on the fair market market value of such securities or assets, as determined in good faith by the Board, with appropriate and customary adjustments to deduct payment of the aggregate Exercise Price from the consideration to be received, or (ii) the Holder thereof is entitled to receive shares of Common Stock, the number of shares thereof shall be computed using the following formula:

X = Y x [(A – B) / A]

Where:

X =     the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;

Y =     the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is exercisable;

A =     the Per Share Value of a share of Common Stock determined as of the Exercise Date; and

B =     the Exercise Price plus applicable taxes and other governmental charges.

The consideration received by a Holder pursuant to a cashless exercise, pursuant to the foregoing, is referred to herein as the “Cashless Consideration.”

11. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If more than one such Warrant shall be surrendered for exercise at one time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants so surrendered. If any fractional Warrant Share would be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, either (i) round the number of Warrant Shares up to the nearest whole number or (ii) make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the Holder of the Warrant at a price equal to the Per Share Value for a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date multiplied by such fraction (computed to the nearest whole cent). “Per Share Value” with respect to any shares of Common Stock or any Warrants, means on any particular date (a) the last sale price per share of the Common Stock or the Warrants on such date on any registered national stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock or the Warrants are then listed or quoted, or if there is no such price on such date, then the closing


bid price or last sale price, as applicable, on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (b) if the Common Stock or the Warrants are not listed or quoted on any registered national stock exchange or quotation system, the closing bid price or last sale price, as applicable, for a share of Common Stock or a Warrant in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (c) if the Common Stock or the Warrants are not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the five (5) trading days preceding such date of determination, or (d) if the Common Stock or the Warrants are not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock or a Warrant as determined in good faith by the Board; provided, however, that all determinations of the Per Share Value shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits or other similar transactions during such period.

12. Warrant Holders Not Deemed Stockholders. Prior to the exercise of any Warrant, nothing contained in any Warrant shall be construed as conferring on the Holder of any Warrant any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, including the right to vote on or to consent to any action of the stockholders, to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or to receive any notice of meetings of stockholders and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company.

13. Gaming Redemption. The Company may require a Disqualified Holder (as defined herein) to dispose of its Warrants or Warrant Shares or the Company may redeem any Warrants or Warrant Shares held by a Disqualified Holder at a price equal to the lowest of (i) the Per Share Value of such Warrants or Warrant Shares, (ii) such other redemption price as required by applicable law or order of any gaming authority or (iii) to the extent required by the New Jersey Gaming Laws, the price that the Disqualified Holder paid for such shares or interests. “Disqualified Holder” means any holder or beneficial owner of shares of capital stock or other equity interests (including Warrants and Warrant Shares) of the Company: (A) whose holding of such shares or interests may result or, when taken together with the holding of shares or interests by any other holder or beneficial owner, may result, in the judgment of the Board, in (i) the disapproval, modification, or non-renewal of any contract or agreement that is regulated or required to be approved by any gaming authority to which the Company or any its affiliates is a party or is subject; or (ii) the failure to obtain or the loss or non-reinstatement of any license, permit or franchise from any gaming authority held by the Company or any of its affiliates to conduct any portion of the business of the Company or its affiliates; or (B) who is required to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable gaming law and who fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the gaming authority), or is notified by a gaming authority that it will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable.

14. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreements prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on a Business Day, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreements on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m.,


Eastern time, on any Business Day, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreements.

15. Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. The Company may, with the consent, in writing or at a meeting, of the Holders of the then outstanding Warrants exercisable for a majority or greater of the shares of Common Stock issuable under such Warrants at that time, amend in any way, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, this Global Warrant Certificate and/or all of the outstanding Warrants; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment by its express terms shall adversely affect any Holder differently than it affects all other Holders, unless such adversely affected Holder consents thereto, and (ii) no such amendment concerning the number of Warrant Shares or Exercise Price shall be made unless any Holder who will be affected by such amendment consents thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, (i) make any changes or corrections in this Global Warrant Certificate that are required to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, (ii) add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of the Holders (including, without limitation, reduce the Exercise Price, accelerate the Exercise Time or extend the Expiration Date), or surrender any rights or powers reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Global Warrant Certificate, or (iii) add to this Global Warrant Certificate any legends, notations or endorsements required by any applicable securities laws or gaming or other regulations, including the New Jersey Gaming Laws and any requirements of The Depository Trust Company.

(b) GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND RULE 327(B) OF THE NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTIONS OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE COMPANY, THE WARRANT AGENT AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY, THE WARRANT AGENT OR ANY HOLDER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR


PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS FOR SUCH NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY, THE WARRANT AGENT AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE, AND AGREE NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(c) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Global Warrant Certificate and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(d) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Global Warrant Certificate shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Global Warrant Certificate shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Global Warrant Certificate.

[Exhibit D-1]


ESCROW AGREEMENT

Escrow Account No.: 145987000

Effective Date: February 16, 2011

Pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, dated February 16, 2011 (this “Agreement”), the Depositors identified on Schedule I (the “Depositors”) hereby establish an Escrow Account (the “Account”) with U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (“Agent”), to be maintained and administered in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

The funds described on Schedule I attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Assets”) will be deposited in the Account upon delivery thereof to Agent in the manner and at the time(s) specified in the said Schedule I. Agent is hereby authorized and directed by Revel AC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), as its escrow agent, to hold, deal with and dispose of the Assets as provided in the Instructions set forth in Schedule II attached hereto and incorporated herein; subject, however, to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, which in all events, shall govern and control over any contrary or inconsistent provisions contained in Schedules I or II attached hereto.

1. Agent’s Duties. Agent’s duties and responsibilities shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and Agent shall not be subject to, or obliged to recognize, any other agreement between the Issuer or any other persons even though reference thereto may be made herein; provided, however, this Agreement may be amended at any time or times by an instrument in writing signed by all the parties hereto. Agent shall not be subject to or obligated to recognize any notice, direction or instruction of any or all of the parties hereto or of any other person, except as expressly provided for and authorized in Schedule II and in performing any duties under the this Agreement, Agent shall not be liable to any party for consequential damages, (including, without limitation lost profits) losses, or expenses, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Agent.

2. Court Orders or Process. If any controversy arises between the parties to this Agreement, or with any other party, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement, its terms or conditions, Agent will not be required to determine the controversy or to take any action regarding it. Agent may hold all documents and funds and may wait for settlement of any such controversy by final appropriate legal proceedings or other means as, in Agent’s discretion, Agent may require, despite what may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. In such event, Agent will not be liable for interest or damage incurred by any party as a result of waiting for such determination or settlement. Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Account, the Assets or this Agreement, without determination by Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in matter. If any Assets are at any time attached, garnished, or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by


any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then in any such events Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it; and if Agent complies with any such order writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to the Issuer or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

3. Agent’s Actions and Reliance. Agent shall not be personally liable for any act taken or omitted by it hereunder if taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. Agent shall also be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, instruction, direction, certificate or document which in good faith it believes to be genuine.

4. [Reserved].

5. Agent Responsibility. Agent shall not be responsible or liable for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form, execution, validity or genuineness of documents, instruments or securities now or hereafter deposited in the Account, or of any endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein. Registered ownership of or other legal title to Assets deposited in the Account shall be maintained in the name of Agent, or its nominee, only if expressly provided in Schedule II. Agent may maintain qualifying Assets in a Federal Reserve Bank or in any registered clearing agency (including, without limitation, the Depository Trust Company) as Agent may select, and may register such deposited Assets in the name of Agent or its agent or nominee on the records of such Federal Reserve Bank or such registered clearing agency or a nominee of either. Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such document, security or endorsement or this Agreement.

6. Investments. The Account is a safekeeping escrow account, and no interest shall be paid by Agent on any money deposited or held therein. Agent is hereby directed to deposit the funds into the Account and said account shall remain uninvested until disbursed in accordance with Schedule II.

7. Notices/Directions to Agent. Notices and directions to Agent from the Issuer, or from other persons authorized to give such notices or directions as expressly set forth in Schedule II, shall be in writing and signed by an authorized representative as identified pursuant to Schedule II and in accordance with Section 10 hereof. Agent shall not be responsible or liable for the authenticity or accuracy of notices or directions properly given hereunder if the written form and execution thereof on its face purports to satisfy the requirements applicable thereto as set forth in Schedule II, as determined by Agent in good faith without additional confirmation or investigation.

8. Books and Records. Agent shall maintain books and records regarding its administration of the Account, and the deposit, investment, collections and disbursement or transfer of Assets, shall retain copies of all written notices and directions sent or received by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, and shall afford the Issuer reasonable access, during regular business hours, to review and make photocopies (at the Issuer’s cost) of the same.

9. Disputes Between the Issuer and Third Parties. In the event Agent is notified of any dispute, disagreement or legal action between the Issuer and any third parties, relating to or arising in connection with the Account, the Assets or the performance of Agent’s duties under this Agreement, Agent shall be authorized and entitled, subject to Section 2 hereof, to suspend further performance hereunder, to retain and hold the Assets then in the Account and take no further action with respect thereto until the matter has been fully resolved, as evidenced by written notification signed by the Issuer and any other parties to such dispute, disagreement or legal action.

10. Notices under this Agreement. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telex, facsimile, e-mail PDF or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery to the address indicated below for the Issuer (or to such other address as the Issuer may have theretofore substituted therefor by written notification to Agent). For all purposes hereof any notice so mailed shall be as effectual as though served upon the Issuer to whom it was mailed at the time it is deposited in the United States mail by Agent whether or not such undersigned thereafter actually receives such notice. Whenever under the terms hereof the time for Agent’s giving a notice or performing an act falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, such time shall be extended to the next business day.

11. Legal Counsel. If Agent believes it to be reasonably necessary to consult with counsel concerning any of its duties in connection with the account or this Agreement, or in case Agent becomes involved in litigation on account of being escrow agent hereunder or on account of having received property subject hereto, then in either case, its reasonable documented, out-of-pocket costs, expenses and attorney’s fees shall be paid by the Issuer upon receipt of a written request therefor and a reasonably detailed invoice thereof.

12. Agent Compensation. Agent shall be paid a fee for its services as set forth on Schedule III attached hereto and incorporated herein, which shall be subject to increase upon notice sent to the Issuer, and reimbursed for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred as set forth on Schedule III attached hereto. In the event that the conditions of this Agreement are not promptly fulfilled, or if Agent renders any service not provided for in this Agreement that has previously been approved in writing by the Issuer, or if the Issuer requests a substantial modification of its terms, or if any controversy arises, or if Agent is made a party to, or intervenes in, any litigation pertaining to this Agreement or its subject matter, Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services incurred as set forth on Schedule III attached hereto and reimbursed for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs, attorney’s fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel, and expenses occasioned by such default, delay, controversy or litigation and Agent shall have the right to retain all documents and/or other things of value at any time held by Agent under this Agreement until such compensation, fees, costs, and expenses are paid. The Issuer promises to pay these sums promptly upon receipt of written request therefor and a reasonably detailed invoice thereof from Agent. The Issuer and its

 

3


successors and assigns agree jointly and severally to indemnify and hold Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation, counsel fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel and disbursements that may be imposed on Agent or incurred by Agent in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including but not limited to any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving its subject matter.

13. Agent Resignation. It is understood that Agent reserves the right to resign at any time by giving five business days written notice of its resignation, specifying the effective date thereof, to the Issuer. Within 45 days after receiving the aforesaid notice, the Issuer agrees to appoint a successor escrow agent to which Agent may transfer the Assets then held in the Account. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed and has not accepted such appointment by the end of the 45-day period, Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent, and the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and attorney’s fees which Agent incurs in connection with such a proceeding shall be paid by the Issuer.

14. Escrow Termination. If, as provided in Schedule II, this Agreement shall not have previously terminated, then it shall terminate on February 28, 2011, at which time the Assets then held in the Account shall be distributed as set forth in paragraph (a) of Schedule II and Exhibit A thereto.

15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, enforced, and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

16. Automatic Succession. Any company into which Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any company to whom Agent may transfer a substantial amount of its Escrow business, shall be the successor to Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

17. Disclosure: The Issuer hereby agrees not to use the name of U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION to imply an association with the transaction other than that of a legal escrow agent, settlement agent, warrant agent, trustee and second lien collateral agent.

18. Brokerage Confirmations: The Issuer acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant a right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions of the escrow, the parties waive receipt of such confirmations, to the extent permitted by law. Agent shall furnish a statement of security transactions on its regular monthly reports.

19. Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission or PDF shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT:

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a Trust or other legal entity we will ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. We may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.
