8.    Limitation of Liability.    The Disbursement Agent’s responsibility and liability under this Agreement shall be limited as follows: (a) the Disbursement Agent does not represent, warrant or guaranty to the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Lenders or the Second Lien Secured Parties the performance of the Borrower, the Construction Consultant, the Architect, any Contractor or provider of materials or services in connection with construction of the Project; (b) the Disbursement Agent shall have no responsibility to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Lenders or the Second Lien Secured Parties as a consequence of performance by the Disbursement Agent hereunder except for any bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Disbursement Agent or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment); (c) the Borrower shall remain solely responsible for all aspects of its business and conduct in connection with its property and the Project, including, but not limited to, the quality and suitability of the Plans and Specifications, the supervision of the work of construction, the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and property managers, the accuracy of all applications for payment, and the proper application of all disbursements; (d) the Disbursement Agent is not obligated to supervise, inspect or inform the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Contractors, the Architect or any third party of any aspect of the construction of the Project or any other matter referred to above; and (e) the Disbursement Agent owes no duty of care to the Borrower, the Construction Consultant, the Architect, any Contractor or any other Person to protect against, or to inform any such party against, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Project. The Disbursement Agent shall have no duties or obligations hereunder except as expressly set forth herein (including with respect to review of the substantive terms and conditions of any contracts delivered to the Disbursement Agent), shall be responsible only for the performance of such duties and obligations, shall not be required to take any action otherwise than in accordance with the terms hereof and shall not be in any manner liable or responsible for any loss or damage arising by reason of any act or omission to act by it hereunder or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any loss that may occur by reason of forgery, false representations or any other reason, except for its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment). The Disbursement Agent shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to make or cause to be made any Disbursement required hereunder upon the delivery of the applicable Disbursement Request or other written instruction, duly acknowledged by the Disbursement Agent, to the applicable securities intermediary or account bank (including under any applicable Account Control Agreement) in respect of the applicable Disbursement Agent Account or Disbursement Agent Accounts from which such Disbursement is to be made.

Copies of any Project Budget Amendment Certificate, Contract Amendment Certificate, Final Plan Amendment Certificate or Additional Contract Certificate that are provided to the Disbursement Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall not be construed as requiring the Disbursement Agent’s approval of, nor shall the Disbursement Agent be liable or in any way responsible for, the Project Budget, Construction Contract or Final Plans and Specifications associated therewith. In addition, the Disbursement Agent shall have no responsibility to inquire into or determine the genuineness, authenticity, or suffi-

 

35


ciency of any certificates, documents or instruments submitted to it in connection with its duties hereunder, and shall be entitled to deem the signatures on any such certificates, documents or instruments submitted to it hereunder as being those purported to be authorized to sign such certificates, documents or instruments on behalf of the parties hereto and shall be entitled to rely (so long as such reliance is reasonable and in good faith) upon the genuineness of the signatures of such signatories without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, each of their affiliates, and each of their and their affiliates’ officers, directors, agents and employees, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby. The Disbursement Agent agrees to instruct the Construction Consultant to take the actions to be taken under this Agreement by the Construction Consultant. The Administrative Agent shall replace the Construction Consultant in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement if the Construction Consultant fails to perform its responsibilities hereunder. The Construction Consultant shall be required to act reasonably and in good faith in making determinations and carrying out its duties, rights and responsibilities hereunder.

The foregoing indemnities in this Section 9 shall survive the resignation or substitution of the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral and/or the Construction Consultant or the termination of this Agreement.

 

36


10.    Termination.    This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) (x) “payment in full” of all Obligations in accordance with the terms of and as defined under the First Lien Credit Agreement and (y) “satisfaction and discharge” of the Notes issued under the Indenture, and (b) the substantial completion of the transfer and release of funds contemplated by Section 4.6; provided, however, that the obligations of the Borrower under Section 9 of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10, the Disbursement Agent shall no longer be permitted to withdraw amounts on deposit in any Disbursement Agent Account.

11.    Substitution or Resignation of the Disbursement Agent.

11.1    Procedure.    A resignation or removal of the Disbursement Agent and appointment of a successor Disbursement Agent shall become effective only upon the successor Disbursement Agent’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 11.

11.1.1    The Disbursement Agent may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from all duties hereunder upon 30 days’ written notice to all parties hereto. The Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Second Lien Collateral Agent), acting in accordance with the First Lien Credit Agreement, may remove the Disbursement Agent as provided below by so notifying the Disbursement Agent and the Borrower in writing no less than 30 days prior to such removal, if:

(a)    the Disbursement Agent fails to comply with Section 11.3;

(b)    the Disbursement Agent is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered by such court with respect to the Disbursement Agent under the Bankruptcy Code;

(c)    a custodian or receiver takes charge of the Disbursement Agent or its property; or

(d)    the Disbursement Agent becomes incapable of acting in its capacity as disbursement agent hereunder, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent.

11.1.2    If the Disbursement Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Disbursement Agent for any reason, the Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts to promptly (but in no event later than 30 days after such resignation or removal) appoint a successor Disbursement Agent acceptable to the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold, or delay consent to any such successor.

11.1.3    If a successor Disbursement Agent does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Disbursement Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Borrower may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Disbursement Agent; provided that until a successor Disbursement Agent has been so appointed, the Administrative Agent shall act as the Disbursement Agent hereunder.

 

37


11.1.4    A successor Disbursement Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Disbursement Agent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. Upon the earlier of (a) delivery of such written acceptance and (b) 30 days after delivery of such a resignation or removal notice, the resignation or removal of the retiring Disbursement Agent shall become effective, and any such successor Disbursement Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Disbursement Agent under this Agreement. The retiring Disbursement Agent shall promptly thereafter transfer all property held by it as Disbursement Agent to any such successor Disbursement Agent.

11.2    Successor Disbursement Agent by Merger, etc.    If the Disbursement Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Disbursement Agent.

11.3    Eligibility; Disqualification.    The Disbursement Agent shall be at all times a bank chartered under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. At no time may the Disbursement Agent be disqualified under applicable Gaming Laws from acting in the capacity of Disbursement Agent hereunder.

12.    Miscellaneous.

12.1    Delay and Waiver.    No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other breach or default by the Borrower under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Lender nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single Event of Default or other breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other Event of Default or other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any of the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Secured Parties or any Lender of any Event of Default or other breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any of the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Secured Parties or any Lender of any provision or condition of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Secured Parties or any Lender shall be cumulative and not alternative. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and any other party hereto, on behalf of itself, may specifically waive any breach of this Agreement by any other party, but no such waiver shall be deemed to have been given unless such waiver is in writing, signed by the waiving party and specifically designates the breach waived, nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver of similar or other breaches, nor shall any such waiver constitute a waiver by any other party with respect to such breach.

 

38


12.2    Invalidity.    In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting or impairing the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provisions hereof, and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.3    No Authority.    The Disbursement Agent shall not have any authority to, and shall not make any warranty or representation or incur any obligation on behalf of, or in the name of, the Administrative Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent.

12.4    Assignment.    This Agreement is personal to the parties hereto, and the rights and duties of any party hereunder shall not be assignable except with the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that if the Borrower’s obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement are assigned with the consent of the Lenders in accordance therewith or in accordance with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Borrower may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to the same assignee without additional consent. In any event, this Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

12.5    Benefit. The parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but no others, shall be bound hereby and entitled to the benefits hereof.

12.6    Gaming Authorities and Liquor Laws.    Each party hereto agrees to cooperate with the Gaming Authorities and Liquor Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Authorities or Liquor Authorities relating to the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of a Loan Party, the Project Documents or the Financing Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby consent to any such cooperation and disclosure by the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent to any such Gaming Authorities or Liquor Authorities and releases such parties from any liability for any such cooperation or disclosure. The rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and if prior approval of any Gaming Authorities or Liquor Authorities is required therefor, such approval shall be obtained.

12.7    Posting.    The Borrower and the Construction Consultant agree that the Administrative Agent may make the certificates delivered to the Disbursement Agent pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement available to the Lenders by posting such documents (the “Posted Documents”) on IntraLinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Administrative

 

39


Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Posted Documents on the Platform, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in such Posted Documents. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Posted Documents or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to any person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such Person is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach in bad faith of such Person’s obligations under this Agreement as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.8    Entire Agreement; Amendments.    This Agreement (together with the other Loan Documents and Notes Documents) contains the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements, understandings and commitments, whether oral or written. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Disbursement Agent; provided that any amendments to Sections 4.2, 6.1.1 and 6.17 shall require the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control in the absence of manifest error.

12.9    Notices.    All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto or the Construction Consultant to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of facsimile notice, when received, or in the case of email, when received (or in the case of email not received on a Business Day or after business hours on a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) addressed as follows or to such other address as the applicable parties may hereafter notify to the other parties:

12.12    Choice of Law.    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final

 

42


judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.15.

EXHIBIT A-1-2


In connection with the requested disbursements, the Borrower hereby represents, warrants and certifies as of the date hereof as follows:

(a) Schedule 1 lists each party to whom payment is to be made from the funds transferred to the Construction Disbursement Account or, in respect of reimbursements to the Cash Management Account, each party to whom a corresponding payment has been made from the Cash Management Account and, for each Line Item and for each such party, the following: (i) the required payment date for each applicable payment; (ii) the name of the payee to be paid or that was paid, as applicable; and (iii) the net payment requested with respect to each payee. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the information set forth in Schedule 1 is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(b) Schedule 2 accurately sets forth, for each Line Item, the following: (i) the total Project Costs anticipated to be incurred to achieve the Final Completion Date promptly after the Scheduled Completion Date, both as of the Closing Date and, giving effect to any amendments to the Project Budget previously or concurrently made in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Disbursement Agreement and described in the columns labeled “PREV ADJUSTED” and “CURRENT ADJUSTED”, as of the date hereof; (ii) the total payments previously made (net of Retainage Amounts and Disputed Amounts withheld in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement) with respect to the Project under such Line Item; and (iii) the Borrower’s reasonable belief as to the remaining amounts required to be paid (including any applicable Retainage Amounts and Disputed Amounts) to achieve the Final Completion Date promptly after the Scheduled Completion Date. The information set forth in Schedule 2 is true, correct and complete in all material respects.

(c) The Borrower has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Construction Consultant copies of invoices, pro forma invoices or written notifications from the Construction Manager pursuant to which payments have been requested for all Hard Costs pursuant to this Disbursement Request.

(d) Schedule 3 sets forth a lien release summary chart of releases and waivers in the form specified by Exhibits F-1 and F-2 of the Disbursement Agreement, as applicable, (copies of which are attached hereto as Attachment 1), from each Contractor to be paid from funds requested under this Disbursement Request for payment of Hard Costs (or, in the case of funds requested hereby to replenish the Cash Management Account, which has been paid since the prior Disbursement Request from funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account) acknowledging that such Contractor has been paid in full any and all amounts due for work or services performed and materials furnished to date in connection with the construction of the Project, except for lien releases or waivers relating to (i) Retainage Amounts, (ii) Disputed Amounts, and (iii) Permitted Liens.

(e) To the Borrower’s knowledge, the construction performed as of the date hereof is substantially in accordance with the current Plans and Specifications for the Project. As of the date hereof, the Borrower has made available to the Construction Consultant all the Plans and Specifications. Further, all disbursements requested under this Disbursement Request are for the payment of Project Costs incurred for work completed substantially in accordance with the current Plans and Specifications for the Project.

(f) The Project Budget presently in effect is dated [            ] [and has not been amended] [and includes all amendments through Project Budget Amendment No.         ]. Said Project Budget accurately sets forth the anticipated Project Costs through the Final Completion Date and for each Line Item. Further, to the extent the work or payment required in connection with any Line Item has not yet been completed, the Borrower reasonably believes that the Remaining Costs with respect to such Line Item are equal or less than the Remaining Budgeted Amount with respect to such Line Item.

 

EXHIBIT A-1-3


(g) Prior to and after giving effect to the disbursement contemplated hereunder, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 5.17 of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

(h) As of the date hereof, no Default or Event of Default exists (other than Defaults that will be cured by the payment of money being requested hereunder) and the payments contemplated from the Construction Disbursement Account in connection herewith will not constitute, result in, nor create a Default or Event of Default.

(j) The Opening Date is expected to occur on or before the Scheduled Opening Date (as modified pursuant to Section 6.11) and the Substantial Completion Date is expected to occur on or before the Scheduled Completion Date (as modified pursuant to Section 6.11), in each case to the extent such milestone date has not already occurred.

(k) All proceeds of all previous Disbursement Requests, except for $[            ] remaining in the Construction Disbursement Account and $[            ] in the Cash Management Account, have been expended and have been applied to pay Project Costs in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement. Schedule 5 accurately lists the Hard Costs and Soft Costs paid from the Cash Management Account since the last Requested Disbursement Date, in each case, segregated by Line Item.

(l) The sum of (i) the amount reasonably expected to be on deposit in the Cash Management Account as of the Disbursement Request Date, plus (ii) the amount requested in this Disbursement Request to fund or replenish the Cash Management Account does not exceed $7,500,000.

(m) Each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1.2 of the Disbursement Agreement has been satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent as of the date of this Disbursement Request.

Blocked Account Control

Agreement | JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.

V1.4_0410

AGREEMENT dated as of February [__], 2011, by and among Revel Entertainment Group, LLC (“Company”), U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent under the Second Security Agreement (as defined below) (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”), the Disbursement Agent (as defined below) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Depositary”).

The parties hereto refer to Account No. [            ] in the name of Company maintained at Depositary (the “Account”). Such account is referred to in that certain Disbursement Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “Disbursement Agreement”) by and among the Company, Revel AC, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and first lien collateral agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the disbursement agent (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Disbursement Agent”). The parties hereby agree as follows:

1. The Company and the Second Lien Collateral Agent notify Depositary that by separate agreement (the “Second Lien Security Agreement”) the Company has granted the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of certain secured parties, a security interest in the Account and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. Depositary acknowledges being so notified. Depositary also hereby confirms that the Account is a demand deposit account maintained by Company with Depositary in Depositary’s ordinary course of business and that Depositary is a national banking association.

2. Prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) Depositary shall honor all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions which the Disbursement Agent is entitled to give under the Account Documentation (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “instructions”) received from the Company concerning the Account. Depositary acknowledges that the Disbursement Agent has been granted a power-of-attorney under the Disbursement Agreement to give certain instructions regarding the disposition of funds on deposit in the Account and shall adhere to any such instructions as if they were given by an authorized representative of Company hereunder without any inquiry or investigation as to the authority of the Disbursement Agent to originate such instructions. On and after the Effective Time (and without the Company’s or the Disbursement Agent’s consent), Depositary shall honor all instructions received solely from the Second Lien Collateral Agent (and not those from Company or the Disbursement Agent) concerning the Account and the Company and the Disbursement Agent shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account.

For the purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second business day next succeeding the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto,

 

EXHIBIT G-1-1


with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto (an “Exclusive Control Notice”), is actually received by the unit of Depositary to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on any business day, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the third business day next succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a “business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Account duly commenced by Depositary or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii) Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honoring the Disbursement Agent’s instructions and/or commence honoring solely the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s instructions concerning the Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that the Second Lien Collateral Agent has sent to it an Exclusive Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above), or (y) deem an Exclusive Control Notice to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified individual’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by Depositary (or if such Exclusive Control Notice contains minor mistakes or other irregularities but otherwise substantially complies with the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of this Agreement), with no liability whatsoever to Company, the Disbursement Agent or any other party for doing so.

3. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account Documentation”), which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any instructions on or after the Effective Time, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall provide Depositary with such documentation as Depositary may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent. The Second Lien Collateral Agent may request the Depositary to provide other services (such as automatic daily transfers) with respect to the Account on or after the Effective Time; however, if such services are not authorized or otherwise covered under the Account Documentation, Depositary’s decision to provide any such services shall be made in its sole discretion (including without limitation being subject to the parties hereto executing such Account Documentation or other documentation as Depositary may require in connection therewith).

4. Depositary agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset, banker’s lien or other like right against the Account for so long as this Agreement is in effect except with respect to (i) returned or charged-back items, reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers or other corrections or adjustments to the Account or transactions therein, (ii) overdrafts in the Account or (iii) Depositary’s charges, fees and expenses with respect to the Account or the services provided hereunder.

 

EXHIBIT G-1-2


5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Depositary shall have only the duties and responsibilities with respect to the matters set forth herein as are expressly set forth in writing herein and shall not be deemed to be an agent, bailee or fiduciary for any party hereto; (ii) Depositary shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith without investigation on any notice (including without limitation an Exclusive Control Notice), instruction or request purportedly furnished to it by the Disbursement Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Depositary has no duty to make any further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Depositary has no knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement or any other related documentation or whether any actions by the Second Lien Collateral Agent (including without limitation the sending of an Exclusive Control Notice), Company or any other person or entity are permitted or a breach thereunder or consistent or inconsistent therewith, (iv) Depositary shall not be liable to any party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act under or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such conduct constitutes its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (and to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages); and (v) Depositary shall not be liable for losses or delays caused by force majeure, interruption or malfunction of computer, transmission or communications facilities, labor difficulties, court order or decree, the commencement of bankruptcy or other similar proceedings or other matters beyond Depositary’s reasonable control. However, nothing contained in this Paragraph shall constitute a waiver by Company of rights or remedies, if any, it may have against the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Disbursement Agent under this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement, or any other related documentation.

6. Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be an employee of Depositary) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred as a result of following Company’s direction or instruction. The Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any Covered Items incurred (i) on or after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding related thereto, (ii) at the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s direction or instruction (including without limitation Depositary’s honoring of an Exclusive Control Notice) or (iii) due to any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of an interest in the Account or the funds on deposit therein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent to indemnify or reimburse the Depositary under the terms of this Agreement, shall be (i) an obligation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent solely in its capacity as trustee under the Indenture (as defined in the Second Lien Security Agreement); (ii) limited solely to funds available under the Indenture at any point in time; and (iii) not applicable in the event of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Depositary. The obligation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent to indemnify, or to reimburse or pay any amounts, under the terms of this Agreement shall not be an obligation of U.S. Bank National Association in its individual or corporate capacity. No such indemnification, reimbursement or other payment by the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall prejudice its indemnification or other rights against the Company and the Guarantors under the provisions of the Indenture.

 

EXHIBIT G-1-3


7. Depositary may terminate this Agreement (i) in its discretion upon the sending of at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto or (ii) because of a material breach by Company or the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Account Documentation, upon the sending of at least five (5) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto. The Second Lien Collateral Agent may terminate this Agreement in its discretion upon the sending of at least three (3) business days advance written notice to the other parties hereto; provided that Depositary may shorten or waive the requirement that Second Lien Collateral Agent’s notice be in advance and any such shortening or waiver shall be binding on all parties. Any other termination or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties hereto. The provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 above shall survive any such termination.

8. Company shall compensate Depositary for the opening and administration of the Account and services provided hereunder in accordance with the Account Documentation. Payment will be effected by a direct debit to the Account.

9. This Agreement: (i) may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument; (ii) shall become effective when counterparts hereof have been signed by the parties hereto; and (iii) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”), with respect to the Account, the State of New York shall be deemed to be Depositary’s “jurisdiction” (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC). All parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to the Account or this Agreement. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent (including via emailed pdf or similar file or facsimile transmission) to the parties hereto at their respective addresses, email addresses or fax numbers set forth below (or to such other address, email address or fax number as any such party shall designate in writing to the other parties from time to time). The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Company (except an assignment to Revel AC, Inc.) nor Depositary may assign its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent.
