(“Capital Corp.”), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Bank Agent and Disbursement Agent, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Indenture Trustee (the “Disbursement Agreement”), the Owner and Capital Corp. jointly and severally agreed,

 

11


in favor of the Funding Agents and the other Secured Parties (each as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) to cause Final Completion (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) to occur and further agreed to comply with various other covenants and agreements set forth in the Disbursement Agreement. Each of the Owner and the Agent hereby agrees that this Agreement is intended to document the relationship between the Parties hereto but shall not, in any respect, affect the Owner’s obligations under the Disbursement Agreement. To that effect, each of the Owner and the Agent agrees that for so long as the Disbursement Agreement is in effect, the Disbursement Agreement shall take precedence over any and all of the Parties’ respective obligations hereunder and that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Disbursement Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement shall govern. Further, the obligations of the parties hereunder are independent of the Owners obligations under the Disbursement Agreement, and the Owner shall continue to perform its obligations under the Disbursement Agreement without regard to any breach, default or any other action or inaction by the Agent hereunder. The Lenders shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement entitled to enforce the provisions hereof, but shall not be bound in any respect by this Agreement.

 

6.17 Intent of the Parties. The Agent and the Owner acknowledge that applicable Nevada Revised Statutes in certain circumstances, among others (i) regulate the process by which an owner can withhold payment(s) to a contractor or subcontractor, including the amount(s) that can be withheld, and (ii) regulate when and how an owner or a contractor can terminate a construction contract and the available remedies upon such termination. It is the express intent of the parties that the Agent completely and unconditionally waive to the full extent allowable each and all of those Nevada Revised Statutes that are in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, including those with regard to the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii). Provided, however, the Owner and the Agent acknowledge that some applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes cannot be waived. Accordingly, to the extent the foregoing waiver by the Agent is expressly prohibited by applicable Nevada Revised Statutes as to certain provisions thereof, the Agent’s foregoing waiver shall not be deemed to extend to those non-waivable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In such circumstances, if any, where one or more provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes that cannot be waived, the offending portions of the provision in this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to be consistent with the nonwaivable sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes. To the extent such interpretation renders any portions of this Agreement ineffective, it is the intent of the parties that only such offending portion shall be so deemed, and the remainder of the provision in this Agreement shall be of full force and effect.
