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 Revolving Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Second Lien Collateral Agent), acting in accordance with the Revolving 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;

 

22


(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 Agents.

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 Agents 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 Revolving Administrative 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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall act as the Disbursement Agent hereunder.

11.1.4 A successor Disbursement Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Disbursement Agent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agents 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 Agents, 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,

 

23


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 Agents, 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 Agents, 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 Agents, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Secured Parties or any Lender shall be cumulative and not alternative. The Administrative Agents (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.

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 Agents 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 Term Loan Credit Agreement are assigned with the consent of the Lenders in accordance therewith or in accordance with the Term Loan 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 Agents, 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

 

24


the Disbursement Agent, the Administrative Agents, 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 Agents 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 Agents 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 Agents 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 Agents in connection with the Posted Documents or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agents 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 Agents’ 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, the Loan Documents (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and the Second Lien 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.
