If the Borrower desires that Lenders make Loans described in this Section 2.5(b), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in a Notice of Borrowing (which Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least

 

55


(A) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (B) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), specifying (w) whether the requested borrowing is of New Term Loans, if any, or Revolving Credit Loans, (x) the amount and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (y) the requested Borrowing Date and (z) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor. Upon receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each New Term Loan Lender and/or Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each such Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in immediately available Dollars. Such borrowing will then, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.3, be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent depositing into (which may take the form of crediting) a Funding Account of the Borrower (as directed by the Borrower) with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available Dollars.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loans are made hereunder in accordance with Section 5.4(a) on the Amended and Restated Effective Date (including for purposes of payment of fees and expenses in connection the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement), (i) such Loans shall be deemed requested pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i), (ii) such Loans shall be deemed not be Advances and (iii) the proceeds of such Loans shall be deemed applied to non-Project Costs.

 

(d) Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a principal amount of (A) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $5,000,000 or whole multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, and (B) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $10,000,000 or whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (or, in the case of the preceding clauses (A) and (B), if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less than $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof or $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 thereof, respectively, such lesser amount); provided, that the Swing Line Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Commitments which are Base Rate Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. In the event the Borrower is unable to borrow an amount of Loans requested in any Notice of Advance Request pursuant to subsection (a) above due to the limitations of this subsection, such request for Loans shall be deemed to be in an amount equal to the next higher minimum amount of Loans (of the same Type as those originally requested) otherwise permitted to be drawn under this subsection.

 

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent receives a Stop Funding Notice from the Disbursement Agent prior to the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Disbursement Agreement, none of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall, or shall have any obligation to, advance the Loans associated with such Stop Funding Notice; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be obligated to make any payments due pursuant to Section 2.21 as a result thereof. The Administrative Agent shall notify each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt of any Stop Funding Notice, but shall bear no liability to any Lender if, despite the receipt of such Stop Funding Notice, any Lender makes available any money to the Administrative Agent in respect

 

56


of the requested Loans. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall refund the amount received by it as promptly as possible and in any event by the following Business Day.

 

2.6 Swing Line Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make available to the Borrower a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments from time to time during the Swing Line Credit Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrower; provided, that (a) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect) and (b) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swing Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. During the Swing Line Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay all or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans in accordance with Section 2.11.

 

2.7 Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Refunding of Swing Line Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Loans (the proceeds of which shall be used for purposes permitted hereby other than the payment of Project Costs), it shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date. Each borrowing under the Swing Line Commitment shall be in a principal amount equal to $500,000 or a $100,000 multiple in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swing Line Loan to be made by the Swing Line Lender; provided, that the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to such Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available in immediately available Dollars to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the Company’s Concentration Account on such Borrowing Date.

 

(b) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall notify the Borrower

 

57


of any such request as soon as is reasonably practicable. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower notice of any such action.

 

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans.

 

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(e) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Revolving Credit Lender); (v) any reduction or termination of the Commitments; or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,

 

58


whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender, the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender, the appropriate Term B Loan Lender or the appropriate New Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of the Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (iii) the principal amount of each Term B Loan of such Term B Loan Lender in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.2 and the then unpaid principal amount of each Term B Loan of such Term B Loan Lender on the Term B Loan Termination Date and (iv) in the event any New Term Loans are made, subject to Section 2.26(e), the principal amount of each New Term Loan of such New Term Loan Lender on the date set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement and the then unpaid principal amount of each New Term Loan on the New Term Loan Termination Date. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.

 

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

 

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

 

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded in the absence of manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit G-1, G-2 or G-3 hereto, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (such notes, respectively, “Term B Notes”, “Revolving Credit Notes” and “Swing Line Notes”) or, in the case

 

59


of New Term Loans, a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of the Term B Notes with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the terms and provisions of such New Term Loans (such notes, “New Term Notes”).

 

2.9 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”) for the period from and including the Amended and Restated Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof; provided, however, that any Revolving Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, except to the extent that such Revolving Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided, further, that no such Revolving Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

 

(b) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers, the Managers and the Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Arrangers, the Managers and the Agents including, without limitation, pursuant to the Facility Fee Letter.

 

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, pursuant to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

 

2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof (a) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments or (b) if prior to the Phase II Final Completion Date, the Project shall not be In Balance. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof (or, if less, shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments to zero), and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. The Borrower shall not reduce the amount of the Term Loan Commitments.

 

60


2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall (i) designate whether the Borrower is prepaying Revolving Credit Loans and/or Term Loans and (ii) specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless all Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple in excess thereof.

(b) (i) With respect to the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale as to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party making such Asset Sale has not delivered a Reinvestment Notice within the period required therefor in the definition thereof, the Facility Proportionate Share of such Net Cash Proceeds (or portion thereof not subject to such a Reinvestment Notice) shall be applied, within two Business Days of the expiration of the aforesaid required period for delivery of a Reinvestment Notice with respect to such Asset Sale, toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing prepayment requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $25,000,000 in any Fiscal Year and (B) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Facility Proportionate Share of the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g).

 

(ii) With respect to the Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition of Property (other than any Asset Sale with respect to which a prepayment is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(i)) that are required pursuant to the terms of any First Lien Secured Obligations to be applied to (or offered to be applied to) the repayment of any First Lien Secured Obligations (in the event any such repaid First Lien Secured Obligations constitute a revolving credit facility, accompanied by a permanent reduction of commitments under such revolving credit facility in the amount of such repayment),

 

61


the Facility Proportionate Share of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, within one Business Day of the date any of such Net Cash Proceeds are required to be so applied (or offered to be so applied) to any First Lien Secured Obligations, toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g).

 

(iii) In the event any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale are not applied toward the prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(i) as a result of not being deemed part of the “Facility Proportionate Share” of such Net Cash Proceeds and such amounts are not applied to the prepayment and permanent reduction of First Lien Secured Obligations for any reason whatsoever (including the failure of any holder of such First Lien Secured Obligations to accept an offer of prepayment) within 60 days of the application of the Facility Proportionate Share of such Net Cash Proceeds toward the prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(i), then such amounts shall, on the last day of such 60-day period, be applied toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g).

 

(c) No later than (i) two Business Days following the date on which Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to the prepayment of Obligations under Section 5.14 of the Disbursement Agreement, (ii) two Business Days following the date on which Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds are required to be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.24 or (iii) unless the Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent in writing within such two Business Day period that such Liquidated Damages have been allocated for future application toward Project Costs, two Business Days following the date on which any Loan Party receives Liquidated Damages (provided, that to the extent such Liquidated Damages are paid pursuant to any obligation, default or breach, the results of which can be remedied through the expenditure of money, and the applicable Loan Party determines in its reasonable judgment to undertake such remedy, the Liquidated Damages subject to this subsection (iii) shall be net of reasonable amounts that such Loan Party anticipates to incur in connection with such remedy (such amounts, the “Reinvested Amounts”); and provided, further, that in the event such Loan Party has not expended any Reinvested Amounts in furtherance of such remedy by the date that is six months after a Loan Party initially received the relevant Liquidated Damages or, in the case of any Reinvested Amounts to be expended in furtherance of such remedy pursuant to a contract entered into during such six-month period, such amounts have not been expended by the date that is twelve months after a Loan Party initially received the relevant Liquidated Damages, such non-expended amounts shall be applied on the second Business Day following such sixth-month or twelve-month, as the case may be, anniversary date toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g)), the Borrower shall apply such funds toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g).

 

(d) If, for any Fiscal Year, commencing with the Fiscal Year in which the Phase II Opening Date occurs, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, and shall cause the applicable Loan Parties to, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(g). Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Loan Parties referred to in Section 6.1(a), for

 

62


the Fiscal Year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.

 

(e) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

(f) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

(g) Subject to Section 2.18, amounts to be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans, second, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments and, third, to the Borrower or such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled thereto. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the foregoing shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in immediately available funds in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing first priority security interest (subject to no other Liens) in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure all L/C Obligations from time to time outstanding and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount of such excess over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless the Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment to the applicable Lender on the amount prepaid.

 

2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice may be given by telephone confirmed promptly in writing), provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Other than with respect to Swing Line Loans which shall at all times be Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election

 

63


(which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefore and may be given by telephone confirmed promptly in writing), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

 

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be given by telephone confirmed promptly in writing), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

 

2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

 

2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or an Event of Default has otherwise occurred and is continuing, all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit

 

64


Facility plus 2.0% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder (in accordance with Section 2.9 or otherwise) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.0% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0%), in each case, with respect to subsections (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) or so long as such Event of Default is continuing.

 

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

 

2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations, if any, used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).

 

2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

 

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

 

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

 

65


the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower receives such notice from the Administrative Agent prior to the first day of an Interest Period with respect to new Loans to be made on such day, the Borrower shall have the right to withdraw such related Notice of Borrowing and have no liability under Section 2.21.

 

2.18 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term B Loan Percentages, New Term Loan Percentages with respect to a Series of New Term Loans or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 2.18(c), each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Loans, and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

 

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) of Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to the installments of such Term Loans (provided that the final payment of Term Loans on the Term Loan Termination Date shall be treated as an “installment” for purposes of this subsection (b)) pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender.

 

(d) Subject to Section 2.20, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on

 

66


a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

 

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

 

2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any

 

67


other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

 

(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon receipt by the Borrower of the notice described in the last sentence of this paragraph, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection (a) for any increased costs or reduced amounts receivable from more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and setting forth in such notice, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts.

 

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the additional amounts sought), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as set forth in the aforesaid notice; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender notified the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

 

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

68


2.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, other than Excluded Taxes (collectively, the “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any such Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts that would have been received hereunder or under any other Loan Document had such withholding not been required; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor a Guarantor shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Arranger’s, such Agent’s, such Manager’s or such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of subsection (f) or (g) of this Section 2.20, or (ii) that are withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender at the time such Arranger, such Agent, such Manager or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement. The Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall make any such required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

 

(b) If any Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as applicable, receives a refund, credit or other tax benefit for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2.20, which refund, credit or other tax benefit in the good faith judgment of such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower or such Guarantor, then such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount as such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, determines in good faith to be the proportion of the refund, credit or other tax benefit as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in the same position it would have been in if the payment of such tax and any payment by the Borrower or such Guarantor under this Section 2.20 had not been made. In addition, upon the Borrower’s reasonable request each Arranger, Agent, Manager and Lender, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to pursue any available refund, credit or other tax benefit that, in the reasonable and good faith determination of such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as applicable, is attributable to any tax with respect to which the Borrower or any Guarantor has made a payment pursuant to this Agreement, and shall remit immediately available funds to the Borrower in an amount equal to any such refund, credit or other tax benefit (including any interest received thereon).

 

(c) Subject to subsection (f) below, the Borrower shall indemnify each Arranger, each Agent, each Manager and each Lender for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes to the extent payable but not paid by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to Section 2.20(a) and paid by such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (including,

 

69


without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under Section 2.20(a) or this Section 2.20(c) and any penalties, additions to tax interest and related expenses attributable to such Non-Excluded Taxes). Payment under this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the date any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amounts demanded. Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20(a) shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or a Guarantor if the making of such a filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue.

 

(d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower or a Guarantor, as promptly as practicable thereafter the Borrower or such Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof.

 

(e) The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

(f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two duly completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent revisions thereof or successors thereto), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent revisions thereof or successors thereto) and a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, or any subsequent versions of any of the foregoing or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Non-U.S. Lenders that are non-U.S. partnerships or other similar Pass-Through Entities shall also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two duly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with all required attachments. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and on or before the date of the first payment to it following the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office pursuant to Section 2.23 hereof. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S.

 

70


taxing authorities for such purpose). If a Non-U.S. Lender is unable to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.20(f), such Non-U.S. Lender shall be entitled to neither relief from withholding nor indemnity hereunder with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes for the period that would have been covered by such form, unless (i) such Non-U.S. Lender’s inability to deliver such form resulted from a change in law after the date on which such Lender became a Lender hereunder or as a result of a change in the circumstances of the Borrower or any Guarantor or the use of proceeds of such Non-U.S. Lender’s loans or (ii) such Non-U.S. Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to the indemnity afforded hereunder.

 

(g) Each Arranger, Agent, Manager and Lender that is entitled to an exemption from non-U.S. withholding taxes under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or a Guarantor is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the relevant Guarantor(s), as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Guarantor(s), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding; provided, that such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Person’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Person.

 

(h) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall pay all Non-Excluded Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

 

2.21 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss (other than loss of anticipated profits) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (whether as a result of a Stop Funding Notice or otherwise) other than by reason of Section 2.17 if the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Borrower thereunder and the Borrower withdraws a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.17, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

71


2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, then (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

 

2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower or a Guarantor, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of reducing or avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations or rights of any Borrower or Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22.

 

2.24 Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds. (a) This Section 2.24 shall apply to all Loss Proceeds, all Insurance Proceeds and all Eminent Domain Proceeds received by any Loan Party (i) in the case of Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds related to the Phase II Project, at all times from and after the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date, (ii) in the case of Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds related to the Phase I Project, at all times, and (iii) in the case of Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds that do not relate to the Phase I Project or the Phase II Project, at all times. The Facility Proportionate Share of any such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds (other than those described in subsection (b) below) shall be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(c)(i) or 2.12(c)(ii), as applicable, unless each of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by the Majority Initial Lending Institutions (and, if required by Section 2.24(d), the Required Lenders) as required pursuant to Section 2.24(c) or 2.24(d), as the case may be, within 60 Business Days (or, in the case of Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds described in Section 2.24(d), 90 Business Days) after any Loan Party’s receipt of such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, in which event such amounts shall be applied to the repair or restoration of the applicable Project in accordance with the terms of such Sections:

 

(i) the damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain giving rise to the receipt of such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds, in the aggregate does not constitute the destruction of all or substantially all of the man-made portion of the Project;

 

72


(ii) neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from such damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain) and after giving effect to any proposed repair and restoration (assuming any Defaults or Events of Default that occurred prior thereto solely as a result from such damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain have been waived or otherwise cured), no Default or Event of Default could reasonably be expected to result from such damage, destruction, Event of Loss or proposed repair and restoration or Event of Eminent Domain;

 

(iii) the Borrower certifies, and the Majority Initial Lending Institutions (with, if required by Section 2.24(d), the consent of the Required Lenders) determine in their reasonable judgment in consultation with the Construction Consultant, that (i) in the case of Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds related to the Phase II Project received by any Loan Party from and after the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date but prior to the Phase II Completion Date, it is technically and economically feasible for Phase II Completion (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement and inclusive of any repair or restoration required as a result of any damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain) to occur prior to the Phase II Scheduled Completion Date (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) and the Phase II Project shall be In Balance and (ii) otherwise, that repair or restoration of the Project to a condition substantially similar to the condition of the Project immediately prior to the event or events to which the relevant Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, as the case may be relate, is technically and economically feasible within an eighteen-month period after receipt of any such Insurance Proceeds or Eminent Domain Proceeds, and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the relevant Loan Party to make such repairs and restorations (subject at all times to Section 7.7);

 

(iv) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a plan describing in reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected and the anticipated costs and schedule associated therewith (the “Repair Plan”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Initial Lending Institutions (with, if required by Section 2.24(d), the consent of the Required Lenders);

 

(v) the Borrower certifies, and the Majority Initial Lending Institutions (with, if required by Section 2.24(d), the consent of the Required Lenders) determine in their reasonable judgment, that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower to make all payments on Indebtedness which will become due during and following the repair period and, in any event, to maintain compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.1 during such repair period;

 

(vi) no Permit is necessary to proceed with the repair and restoration of the Project and no other instrument is necessary for the purpose of effecting the repairs or restoration of the Project or subjecting the repairs or restoration to the Liens of the

 

73


applicable Security Documents and maintaining the priority of such Liens or, if any of the above is necessary, the Borrower and/or the appropriate Loan Party will be able to obtain the same as and when required;

 

(vii) the Majority Initial Lending Institutions shall receive such additional title insurance, title insurance endorsements, mechanic’s lien waivers, certificates, opinions or other matters as they may reasonably request as necessary to preserve or protect the Lenders’ interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral; and

 

(viii) the proposed repair or restoration is not prohibited by each of the other Financing Agreements.

 

(b) (i) The Loan Parties shall have the right to use up to an amount of $5,000,000 of Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the Loan Parties for each single loss or series of related losses, but in any event no more than an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 of such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds during the term of the Facility, for working capital and/or to repair, restore and/or replace the Property with respect to which such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds relate and Sections 2.12 and 2.24 (other than this Section 2.24(b)(i)) shall not apply to such proceeds.

 

(ii) If, subject to Section 2.24(b)(i), there shall occur any damage, destruction, Event of Loss, or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) for any single loss or series of related losses not in excess of $30,000,000 are payable, such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Funding Account and released by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Loan Party(ies) in amounts from time to time necessary to make payments for work undertaken towards repair, restoration or reconstruction necessitated by such event(s), upon presentation of documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent supporting such requested payments.

 

(c) Provided that the conditions set forth in subsection (a) above have been waived by the Majority Initial Lending Institutions, or have been acknowledged by such Persons as having been satisfied, which acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, if there shall occur any damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) for any single loss or series of related losses in excess of $30,000,000, but not in excess of $100,000,000, are payable, such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by relevant Loan Party(ies) shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Funding Account and released by the Administrative Agent to relevant Loan Party(ies) in accordance with subsection (e) below.

 

74


(d) Provided that the conditions set forth in subsection (a) above have been waived by the Majority Initial Lending Institutions and the Required Lenders, or have been acknowledged by such Persons as having been satisfied, which acknowledgement shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, if there shall occur any damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain of or with respect to the Project with respect to which Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) for any single loss or series of related losses in excess of $100,000,000 are payable, such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Funding Account and released by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Loan Party(ies) in accordance with subsection (e) below.

 

(e) Except as provided in Section 2.24(b), amounts which are to be applied to repair or restoration of the Project pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent from the applicable Funding Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.24(e). From time to time the Administrative Agent’s authorization of release of Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds for application toward such repairs or restoration shall be conditioned upon the relevant Loan Party’s delivery to the Administrative Agent of (i) a certificate from the Borrower (I) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected with such release and certifying that such repairs or restoration are materially consistent with, and shall be undertaken in accordance with, the Repair Plan, (II) stating the cost of such repairs or restoration, which shall be no less than the amount of Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds requested in such release, and that such requested release amount will be applied to the cost thereof, (III) stating that the aggregate amount requested in respect of such repairs or restoration (when added to any other Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the relevant Loan Party(ies) or funds otherwise made available to the Loan Parties in respect of such damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain) does not exceed the cost of such repairs or restoration and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the relevant Loan Party(ies) to complete such repair or restoration and (IV) stating that neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from such damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain (provided, that in any event no Default or Event of Default under Sections 7.1 or 8(a) shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) such documents, certificates and information of the type described in Section 2.24(a)(vii) as the Majority Initial Lending Institutions may reasonably request and (iii) in the event such repairs or restorations relate to damage, destruction, Event of Loss or Event of Eminent Domain of the type described in Section 2.24(d), all other documents, certificates and information with respect to such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Eminent Domain Proceeds, repair and/or restoration as the Majority Initial Lending Institutions may reasonably request as necessary or appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration of the Project or to preserve or protect the Lenders’ interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral.

(ii) In the event any Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds are not applied toward the prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12 and this Section 2.24 as a result of not being deemed part of the “Facility Proportionate Share” of such Loss Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds and such amounts are not applied to the prepayment and permanent reduction of other First Lien Secured Obligations for any reason whatsoever (including the failure of any holder of such First Lien Secured Obligations to accept an offer of prepayment) within 60 days of the application of the Facility Proportionate Share of such proceeds to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12, then such amounts shall, on the last day of such 60-day period, be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(c)(i) or 2.12(c)(ii), as applicable.

 

2.25 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender (and cause such Lender to assign its outstanding Loans and Commitments, if any, in full to one or more replacement financial institutions or other Persons) that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22, (b) is a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent as contemplated by Sections 10.1(a)(i), 10.1(a)(ii), 10.1(a)(viii), 10.1(a)(ix) or 10.1(a)(x) where the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) solely in the event of the circumstances described in the immediately preceding clause (a), prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or to eliminate the illegality referred to in

 

76


such notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.22, (iv) on the date of such replacement, the replacement financial institution(s) or other Persons shall pay to such replaced Lender an amount equal to the sum of (without duplication) (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit that have been funded by such Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.9 through the date of replacement, (v) on the date of such replacement the Borrower shall pay to such replaced Lender any amounts due and payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, (vi) the replacement financial institution(s) or other Persons shall be Eligible Assignees, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) if such replaced Lender was replaced pursuant to clause (c) above, such replacement financial institution(s) or other Persons shall consent, at the time of such replacement, to each matter in respect of which such replaced Lender had not consented and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. The Borrower may not elect to replace any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.25 that is also an Issuing Lender unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the payment of all amounts owing to any replaced Lender in accordance with this Section 2.25, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Lender.

 

2.26 Incremental Facilities. (a) On or after the date on which the first Compliance Certificate is delivered after the Initial Phase II Calculation Date (and, with respect to any New Revolving Credit Commitments, prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date), the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent request (i) an increase to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Credit Commitments”) and/or (ii) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”), in an amount not in excess of $300,000,000 in the aggregate and not less than $50,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall set forth (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 15 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent; (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Revolving Credit Lender” or “New Term Loan Lender”, as applicable) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, be allocated and the amounts of such allocations (provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Credit Commitment or a New Term Loan Commitment) and (C) to the extent the 2014 Notes remain outstanding, a certification by the Borrower that the establishment of the New Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, does not violate any provisions of the 2014 Notes Indenture, or has otherwise been consented to by any party whose consent is required by the

 

77


terms thereof. The establishment of the New Revolving Credit Commitments and New Term Loan Commitments shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; (2) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 or 5.3, as applicable, shall be satisfied; (3) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Section 7.1 as of the most recent Quarterly Date of the Borrower after giving pro forma effect to such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, fully drawn, as applicable, on such date; (4) the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable New Revolving Credit Lender or New Term Loan Lender, as applicable, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 2.20(f) and 2.20(g); (5) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.21 in connection with the New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; and (6) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Such New Revolving Credit Commitments or New Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date.

 

(b) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Credit Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Credit Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Credit Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

 

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.

 

78


(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.26(a) and in respect thereof (i) the New Revolving Credit Commitments or the Series of New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Credit Lender, the respective interests of such Revolving Credit Lender in the Revolving Credit Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.26.

 

(e) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement, identical to the terms and provisions of the Term B Loans. The terms and provisions (including applicable rates of interest) of the New Revolving Credit Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans. In any event (i) the weighted average life to maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term B Loans, (ii) the applicable Scheduled New Term Loan Termination Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the Scheduled Term B Loan Termination Date, and (iii) the rate of interest applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable New Term Loan Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the weighted average interest rate payable in respect of the New Term Loans (whether in the form of interest, fees, original issue discount or a combination of any thereof) is higher by more than 0.25% than the weighted average interest rate payable in respect of the Term B Loans immediately prior to the incurrence of any such New Term Loans, the interest rates applicable to the existing Term B Loans shall increase to provide the existing Term B Loan Lenders the same weighted average interest rate provided to the New Term Loan Lenders. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.26.

 

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby and, if agreed to by the applicable Issuing Lender, commercial letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Letter of Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the extension of the expiry date thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in subsection (y) above).

 

79


(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

 

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Prior to (i) with respect to the Phase I Project, the Phase I Final Completion Date, and (ii) with respect to the Phase II Project, the earlier of the Phase II Final Completion Date and the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date, the Borrower shall have the right pursuant to this Section 3.2(a) to request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit to be utilized in furtherance of the payment or support of Project Costs for the Phase I Project or the Phase II Project, as the case may be. If the Borrower desires that the Issuing Lender issue such a Letter of Credit, the Borrower may request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender and the Disbursement Agent, in each case in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3 of the Disbursement Agreement, a Notice of Advance Request in the form, at the times and as required under the Disbursement Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Disbursement Agreement to the contrary, such Notice of Advance Request must be received by the Issuing Lender at least 3 Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Lender) prior to the proposed date of issuance (in addition to such other documents, certificates, documents and papers as the Issuing Lender may request) and must contain all the information relevant to the proposed Letter of Credit issuance as set forth in a Letter of Credit Request.

 

(b) The Borrower shall have the right pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) to request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (i) if prior to the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date, to be utilized for purposes permitted hereby other than in furtherance of the payment or support for Project Costs and (ii) if on or after the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date, to be utilized for general corporate purposes (including in furtherance of the payment or support for Project Costs). If the Borrower desires that the Issuing Lender issue such a Letter of Credit, the Borrower may request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, at least 3 Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Issuing Lender) prior to the proposed date of issuance (such proposed date to be a Business Day), a Letter of Credit Request accompanied by such other documents, certificates, documents and papers as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Letter of Credit Requests may be delivered by facsimile transmission.

 

Promptly after the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit (in any event upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 or 5.3, as applicable), the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders in writing of such issuance or amendment and if so requested by any such Lender the Administrative Agent shall furnish such Lender with a copy of such issuance or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to make any Letters of Credit available to the Borrower at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ participation in such Letters of Credit.

 

80


3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower shall pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any such fee accrued with respect to any Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by such Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no such fee shall accrue for the benefit of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the aggregate drawable amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit (but in any event not less than $500.00 per annum per Letter of Credit), payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit.

 

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or customarily charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

 

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender, regardless of the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, upon demand, at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations and make payments pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the reduction or termination of the Commitments, any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person or any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Revolving Credit Lender), and each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the

 

81


Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

 

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

 

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft or other form of demand shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender within one Business Day of the date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing subsections (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, for the account of the Issuing Lender, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Issuing Lender promptly upon receipt at its address for notices specified herein in like funds as received. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the first Business Day following the date notice of the applicable drawing is received by the Borrower from the Issuing Lender, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in subsection (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The

 

82


Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 (other than Section 5.3(a)) are satisfied (or, if Swing Line Loans are then available, the first date on which the conditions set forth in Section 2.7 are satisfied) after such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

 

3.6 Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments; Obligations Absolute. (a) In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender, including any act or omission of any present or future Governmental Authority; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted (subject to the next sentence) in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.6(a), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender.

 

(b) The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Credit Loans made by Lenders pursuant to this Section 3 and the obligations of Lenders under Section 3.4 shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower,

 

83


whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that any action taken by the Issuing Lender with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of the Loan Parties. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations of the Loan Parties shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Loan Parties (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the consent of the Lenders (whether the Required Lenders, the Required Facility Lenders for a particular Facility or otherwise) is required in connection with the exercise of remedies pursuant to this Section 8, for purposes of determining the required lender consent pursuant to the applicable definitions thereto (whether the “Required Lenders”, the “Required Facility Lenders” or otherwise), the Commitments of the Lenders shall be deemed terminated. Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the

 

137


Required Lenders, rescind and annul any acceleration of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments by written instrument filed with the Borrower. Upon any such rescission and annulment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Borrower any cash collateral delivered pursuant to this paragraph.

 

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS; THE ARRANGERS; THE MANAGERS

 

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

 

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent, with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions, each Initial Lending Institution or, with respect to Section 7.23 or the Disbursement Agreement, each Arranger, may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and consents to the Administrative Agent’s appointment of the Collateral Agent pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. No Agent, Initial Lending Institution (with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions) or Arranger (with respect to Section 7.23 and the Disbursement Agreement) shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Arranger, Manager, Agent, Initial Lending Institution (with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions), Managing Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any other Arranger, Manager, Agent, Initial Lending Institution or Managing Agent for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to the party asserting liability) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Person or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Arrangers, the Managers, the Agents, the Managing Agents or, with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions, the Initial Lending Institutions under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Person party thereto to perform

 

138


its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Agents, the Managers, the Arrangers, the Managing Agents nor the Initial Lending Institutions (with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions) shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Person.

 

9.4 Reliance. Each Agent, each Initial Lending Institution (with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions) and each Arranger (with respect to Section 7.23 and the Disbursement Agreement) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent, each Initial Lending Institution (with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions) and each Arranger (with respect to Section 7.23 and the Disbursement Agreement) shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent, each Initial Lending Institution (with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions) and each Arranger (with respect to Section 7.23 and the Disbursement Agreement) shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit.

 

9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the requisite Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents, Managers, Arrangers, Managing Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Arrangers, the Agents, the

 

139


Managers, the Managing Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party, the Completion Guarantor, Wynn Resorts, Wynn Resorts Holdings or any other Person, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managing Agents and the Managers that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the Completion Guarantor and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of the Issuing Lender, its Letters of Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties, Wynn Resorts, Wynn Resorts Holdings and the Completion Guarantor and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party, Wynn Resorts, Wynn Resorts Holdings or the Completion Guarantor or any other Person that may come into the possession of such Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

 

9.7 Indemnification. (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent and Manager in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower as may be required hereunder and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7(a) (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager under or in connection with any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement); provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

 

140


disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from such Arranger’s, Agent’s, Managing Agent’s or Manager’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Lender. The agreements in this Section 9.7(a) shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

(b) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Initial Lending Institution in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower as may be required hereunder and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7(b) (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Initial Lending Institution in any way relating to or arising out of any action taken or omitted by such Initial Lending Institution under or in connection with any Initial Lending Institution Provisions; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from such Initial Lending Institution’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7(b) shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

9.8 Arrangers, Agents, Managing Agents and Managers in Their Individual Capacities. Each Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent and Manager and their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Completion Guarantor, any Loan Party, Wynn Resorts or Wynn Resorts Holdings as though such Arranger was not an Arranger, such Agent was not an Agent, such Managing Agent was not a Managing Agent and such Manager was not a Manager. With respect to any Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent and Manager shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Arranger, an Agent, a Managing Agent or a Manager, as the case may be, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent and Manager in their respective individual capacities.

 

9.9 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent

 

141


effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Letters of Credit. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30 day period, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 40 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

9.10 Authorization. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien (or to direct the Collateral Agent or any other Person to release any Lien) covering any Property of the Completion Guarantor, Wynn Resorts Holdings, the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties or any other Person that is the subject of a Disposition which is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1. The Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Lenders to enter into agreements supplemental hereto with any Loan Party for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement or any Loan Document to which it is a party (without any consent or approval by the Lenders).

 

9.11 The Arrangers, Managers, Managing Agents, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents. The Arrangers (except with respect to Section 7.23 and the Disbursement Agreement), Managers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Managing Agents, each in their capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

9.12 Withholdings. (a) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.20(f) are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

 

142


(b) If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

 

(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Sections 2.20(f) and 2.20(g) and this Section 9.12.

 

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. (a) No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent) and each Loan Party party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the Borrower’s rights under Section 2.25, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or forgive the payment of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment of any interest or fee payable hereunder, in each case without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders) or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders); (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.1(a) or reduce any percentage or number specified in the definition of Required Lenders, Required Facility Lenders, Applicable Facility Lenders, Majority of the Arrangers or Majority Initial Lending Institutions, consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party, the Completion Guarantor or Wynn Resorts Holdings of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release a significant Guarantor from its guarantee obligations under the Guarantee, in each case without the consent of all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders); (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the consent of any Arranger, Agent, Manager, Managing Agent or Initial Lending Institution directly affected thereby (in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders); (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender (in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders); (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.12(g) or Section 2.18 without the consent of the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Facility directly affected thereby (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders); (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the consent of the Issuing Lender (in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders), (vii) amend, modify or waive any condition, provision or requirement to the funding of Loans (or

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement, modification or determination shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents, the Arrangers, the Managers, the Managing Agents and all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Managers, the Managing Agents and the Agents shall be restored to their former position hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be waived and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.1; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to determinations to be made pursuant to (A) if prior to the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date, Sections 3.2.10, 5.1.4(b), 8.1 and 9.6 of the Disbursement Agreement, the definition of “Consents” set forth in the Disbursement Agreement and Exhibit L to the Disbursement Agreement and (B) if after the Amended and Restated Disbursement Agreement Effective Date, Sections 5.1(b), 8.1 and 9.6 of the Disbursement Agreement and the definition of “Consents” set forth in the Disbursement Agreement, and which in each case shall be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to the extent the Administrative Agent is entitled or required to make any determinations (whether a consent, waiver or otherwise) under the Intercreditor Agreement or the Disbursement Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make such determinations upon the advice of the Required Lenders.

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, (i) the parties to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the Facility Fee Letter may, (A) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or the

 

144


Facility Fee Letter, as the case may be (including amendments and restatements thereof), for the purpose of adding any provisions thereto or changing in any manner the rights thereunder of the parties thereto or (B) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, (1) any of the requirements of the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or the Facility Fee Letter, as the case may be, or (2) any Default or Event of Default to the extent (and only to the extent) relating to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or the Facility Fee Letter, it being understood that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default (or portion thereof) relating to any of the other Loan Documents may be accomplished only as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, (ii) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented with the written consent of the applicable Loan Parties and the Required Lenders (A) to increase the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders, (B) to add one or more additional credit facilities of Loans to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents with the other then outstanding Obligations and (C) to include appropriately the lenders holding such additional credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Facility Lenders and Applicable Facility Lenders, and (iii) any Permitted C-Corp. Conversion shall require the consent of the Required Lenders only.

Issuing Lender:    As notified by the Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that any notice, request, demand or other information to be delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether pursuant to Section 6.1, 6.2 or otherwise) shall be effectively delivered to such Lender by the Administrative Agent posting such notice, request, demand or other information to IntraLinks.

 

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager, any Managing Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder until repayment of the Loans in full, no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (unless otherwise cash collateralized pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and the termination of the Commitments.

 

10.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents, the Securities Intermediary and, with respect to the Initial Lending Institution Provisions, the Initial Lending Institutions for all their reasonable and itemized out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the Arrangers’ and Initial Lending Institutions’ administration and other actions in furtherance of Section 7.23, the Disbursement Agreement and the Initial Lending Institution Provisions, as the case may be) including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of the Collateral Agent, the Nevada Collateral Agent and Latham & Watkins LLP, special counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Disbursement Agent, and any local counsel in the State of

 

148


Nevada retained by the Administrative Agent and the charges of IntraLinks and the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Construction Consultant and the Insurance Advisor, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, Arranger, Manager, Managing Agent and Agent (after the occurrence of an Event of Default) for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to each Arranger, Manager, Managing Agent and Agent and the charges of IntraLinks, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Arranger, Manager, Managing Agent and Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any Loan Party’s delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Arranger, Agent, Manager, Managing Agent, Securities Intermediary, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents, attorneys–in–fact and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments or suits, of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to or arising out of the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party or any of their Properties or the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this subsection (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in breach of a duty owed to the Borrower. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents, all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. No Lender may assign its rights and

 

149


obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in this Section 10.6. Any purported sale, assignment, participation or other transfer by any Lender of any of its rights or obligations hereunder, other than as expressly permitted under this Section 10.6, shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

 

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower, the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managing Agents and the Managers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided, that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have fully complied with the requirements of Section 2.20 and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

 

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender, any Affiliate of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or any Affiliated Fund of the assigning Lender or of another Lender (provided, that if any funding obligations are assigned to such an Affiliate or such an Affiliated Fund, such Affiliate or Affiliated Fund, as applicable, shall have demonstrable resources to comply with such obligations) or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in the case of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line

 

150


Lender, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity that is an Eligible Assignee (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and acceptance agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) (an “Assignment and Acceptance”; provided, that to the extent approved by the Administrative Agent, an Assignment and Acceptance may be electronically executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent via an electronic settlement system then acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which shall initially be the settlement system of ClearPar, LLC), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Affiliate of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or Affiliated Fund of the assigning Lender or of another Lender) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments or $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loan Commitments, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (provided, that for purposes of the foregoing limitations only, any two or more funds that concurrently invest in Loans and are managed by the same investment advisor, or investment advisors that are Affiliates of one another, shall be treated as a single Assignee). Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.6(c), the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Furthermore, to the extent necessary in order to achieve the Commitments and Term B Loan Extensions of Credit on the Amended and Restated Effective Date set forth on Annex B hereto in accordance with Section 5.4(a), the Lenders under the Original Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Date shall be deemed to have assigned their respective Commitments and Term B Loan Extensions of Credit in existence immediately prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Date to Lenders party to this Agreement immediately after satisfaction of Section 5.4(a), and in each case the Borrower consents to such assignments.

 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or

 

151


not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment by the Assignee or the Assignor to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or an Affiliated Fund of the assigning Lender or of another Lender or with respect to the initial syndication of the Commitments), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note, Term B Note and/or New Term Note, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note, Term B Note and/or New Term Note, as the case may be, to such Assignee or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term B Loan Commitment and/or New Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment, Term B Loan Commitment and/or New Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note, Term B Note and/or New Term Note, as the case may be, to the Assignor or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Term B Loan or Term B Loan Commitment and/or New Term Loan or New Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

 

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

 

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any

 

152


other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

10.10 Integration. Other than the promises, undertakings, representations or warranties set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the Facility Fee Letter, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers, the Managers, the Managing Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Arranger, any Manager, any Managing Agent, any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,

 

153


THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

 

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

 

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

 

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10.12 any special, punitive or consequential damages.

 

10.13 Certain Matters Affecting Lenders. (a) If (i) the Nevada Gaming Authorities shall determine that any Lender does not meet suitability standards prescribed under the Nevada Gaming Laws or (ii) any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Borrower shall determine that any Lender does not meet its suitability standards (in any such case, a “Former Lender”), the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to designate bank(s) or other financial institution(s) (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”) that agree to become a Substitute Lender and to assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence that such Substitute Lender (if not a Lender or Lenders or Affiliated Fund of a Lender) is an Eligible Assignee. The Substitute Lender shall assume the rights and obligations of the Former Lender under this Agreement. The Borrower shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of any Lender required by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, or any other gaming authority with jurisdiction over the gaming business of the Borrower, to file an application for a finding of suitability in connection with the investigation of an application by the Borrower for a license to operate a gaming establishment. In the event a Former Lender is replaced by a Substitute Lender in accordance with this Section 10.13(a), the Borrower and the Substitute Lender shall pay to the Former Lender (or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6) all amounts that would have been

 

154


required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.25 had such Former Lender been replaced in accordance with such provisions.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 10.13, if any Lender becomes a Former Lender, and if the Administrative Agent fails to find a Substitute Lender pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.13 within any time period specified by the appropriate gaming authority for the withdrawal of a Former Lender (the “Withdrawal Period”), the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the outstanding amount of all Revolving Extensions of Credit, Term B Loan Extensions of Credit and New Term Loan Extensions of Credit of such Former Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the earlier of (x) the date of payment or (y) the last day of the applicable Withdrawal Period and any other amounts that would have been required to be paid to such Former Lender pursuant to Section 2.25 had such Former Lender been replaced in accordance with such provisions.

 

(c) Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Lender in accordance with this Section 10.13, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Lender.

 

10.14 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(b) neither any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager, any Managing Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower, the Completion Guarantor or any other Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, the Completion Guarantor and any other Loan Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents and the Lenders or among the Borrower, the Completion Guarantor, the other Loan Parties and the Lenders.

 

10.15 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 10.21, each of the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager, any Managing Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Arranger, any Agent, any Manager, any Managing Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.15, (c) to any of its or its Affiliates’ employees, directors, agents, auditors, regulators, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of

 

155


such information and instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 10.15), (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.15), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or any of its affiliates, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) if required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section 10.15, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event any confidential or non-public information is disclosed pursuant to clauses (e), (f) or (g) above, the applicable Arranger, Agent, Manager, Managing Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall give the Borrower notice thereof.

 

10.16 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (or shall direct the Collateral Agent or other applicable Person to, in either case, without notice to or vote or consent of any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents provided that the Borrower and, if applicable, the appropriate Loan Party shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), a written request for release identifying the relevant Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition and the terms of such Disposition in reasonable detail, including the date thereof, the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower and, if applicable, the appropriate Loan Party stating that such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the proceeds of such Disposition will be applied in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, to the extent any such permitted Disposition includes a Disposition of Real Estate, the definitions, exhibits and schedules to this Agreement and any other Loan Document (including the Disbursement Agreement) related to descriptions of Real Estate shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect such Disposition. At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding which have not been cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created by the Security Documents for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents, in each case incurred in connection with the Obligations

 

156


hereunder, shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

 

10.17 Accounting Terms and Changes. Financial statements and other information required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP as in effect at the time of such preparation; provided that calculations in connection with the definitions, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be calculated and determined on the basis of such principles in effect on the date hereof and consistent with those used in the preparation of the most recent audited financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.1, unless otherwise modified pursuant to this Section 10.17. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of definitions, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s and the other Loan Parties’ financial condition (including the requirements and restrictions associated with the provisions of this Agreement applicable thereto) shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all definitions, covenants and other provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. “Accounting Changes” refers to changes in accounting principles required or permitted by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

 

10.18 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

 

10.19 Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

 

10.20 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE ARRANGERS, THE AGENTS, THE MANAGERS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

 

10.21 Gaming Authorities. The Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents and each Lender agree to cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Wynn Resorts, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, including, without limitation, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender, Arranger, Agent, Managing Agent or Manager and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, the provision of such documents or other information

 

157


as may be requested by any such Nevada Gaming Authorities relating to the Arrangers, the Agents, the Managers, the Managing Agents, any of the Lenders, Wynn Resorts or the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower expressly authorizes, and will cause each other Loan Party to authorize, each Agent, Manager, Managing Agent, Arranger and Lender to cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities as described above.

 

10.22 Release of Golf Course Collateral. Upon the request of the Borrower made at such time as the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the proviso contained in clause (k) of Section 7.5 are satisfied and so long as not prohibited by the Financing Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall (or shall direct the Collateral Agent or other applicable Person to, in either case, without notice to or vote or consent of any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Golf Course Collateral, and to release any guarantee obligations of Wynn Golf. In connection therewith, the Administrative Agent shall (or shall direct the Collateral Agent or other applicable Person to) execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Parties such documents and instruments, including UCC-3 termination statements, deeds of reconveyance and certificates of Capital Stock, all as may be reasonably requested by the Loan Parties to release the Liens granted for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Golf Course Collateral and to effectuate the release of Wynn Golf’s guarantee of the Obligations. After the consummation of the actions set forth in this Section 10.22, Wynn Golf shall no longer be deemed a “Loan Party” for purposes of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the release of the Golf Course Collateral in accordance with this Section 10.22, the Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Loan Parties to) Dispose of the Golf Course Collateral and/or distribute the Capital Stock of Wynn Golf to any Person other than Wynn Resorts Holdings or any other Loan Party (unless, in the case of Wynn Resorts Holdings or another Loan Party, such Person is acting as an intermediary for purposes of distributing the Capital Stock of Wynn Golf as otherwise so required).

 

10.23 Binding Effect; Amendment and Restatement.

(b) On the Amended and Restated Effective Date, the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect except to evidence the incurrence by the Borrowers of the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement (whether or not such “Obligations” are contingent as of the Amended and Restated Effective Date). This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Original Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent any Default or Event of Default existed under the Original Credit Agreement (including any Potential Event of Default (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) or Disbursement Agreement Event of Default under the Disbursement

Agreement) immediately prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Date, whether as a result of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties under the Original Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the Disbursement Agreement) prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Date or any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the Disbursement Agreement) prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Date (including any failure, prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Date, to comply with the covenants contained in the Original Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the Disbursement Agreement)), such Defaults and/or Events of Default (including any Potential Event of Default (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement) or Disbursement Agreement Event of Default under the Disbursement Agreement) are hereby permanently waived for all purposes under the Credit Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement and any other Loan Document (it being understood that the foregoing shall not relieve the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or such other Persons from complying with their respective obligations under the Loan Documents from and after the Amended and Restated Effective Date, including with respect to matters that were waived pursuant to this clause (c) but otherwise create Defaults or Events of Defaults under the provisions of the Loan Documents after the Amended and Restated Effective Date).

 

(d) On and after the Amended and Restated Effective Date, (i) all references to the Original Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the Original Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the Amended and Restated Effective Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby.

 

This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver or other modification, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loans Documents remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

 

10.24 Transfer of Golf Course Land to the Borrower. In the event Wynn Golf Disposes of a portion or portions of the Golf Course Land to the Borrower in accordance with Section 7.5(o), such transferred land shall thereafter no longer be deemed “Golf Course Land” and, in furtherance thereof, and subject to the Borrower taking all actions required pursuant to Section 6.10 with respect to such transferred land upon the consummation of such Disposition, (x) the Golf Course Lease shall be amended to exclude any such transferred land and (y) each of the Borrower Mortgage and the Wynn Golf Mortgage shall be amended to reflect such transfer (subject in the case of the amendments described in this clause (y) to the Administrative Agent receiving appropriate endorsements or supplements, or a commitment to issue such endorsements or supplements, in either case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, ensuring the Lenders that such amendments do not adversely affect the Lenders’ title and extended coverage insurance contained in the Title Policy in any material

respect), in each case pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Additionally, Section 7.28 shall not apply to any such Disposition. The Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to execute any documentation necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing (including, without limitation, amendments to the Loan Documents to reflect the above described amendments of the Mortgages) without further consent or action by the Lenders.

 

10.25 Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the following sentence, this Agreement is entered into for the benefit of the parties hereto only and no other party shall be entitled to enforce any provision hereof or otherwise be a third party beneficiary hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, the Disbursement Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be deemed third party beneficiaries under Section 9 and 10.5 only and shall be entitled to enforce such provisions to the extent applicable to such Persons.

 

10.26 Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.
