Item 1.01. Entry into A Material Definitive Agreement.

Indenture for 5.375% First Mortgage Notes due 2022

On March 12, 2012, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (the “Company”) and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (“Capital Corp.” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”) issued $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% First Mortgage Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “2022 Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Company plans to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay all outstanding loans under its term loan facilities and to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The 2022 Notes will mature on March 15, 2022 and bear interest at the rate of 5.375% per annum. The Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the 2022 Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2017, at a premium decreasing ratably to zero, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to March 15, 2015, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes with the net proceeds of one or more qualified equity contributions made to the Issuers by their parent, Wynn Resorts, Limited. If the Issuers undergo a change of control, they must offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Issuers sell certain assets or suffer an event of loss, and the Issuers do not use the sale or insurance proceeds for specified purposes, they must offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2022 Notes are also subject to mandatory redemption requirements imposed by gaming laws and regulations of gaming authorities in Nevada.

The 2022 Notes are the Issuers’ senior secured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities and the Issuers’ outstanding 7  7 / 8 % First Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”), the 7  7 / 8 % First Mortgage Notes due 2020 (“7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes”) and the 7  3 / 4 % First Mortgage Notes due 2020 (the “7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes” and, together with the 2017 Notes and the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The 2022 Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis (with certain exceptions) by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Issuers’ existing and future assets, and, subject to gaming approval, a first priority pledge of the Company’s equity interests, all of which is the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities and the Existing Notes. The first priority lien securing the 2022 Notes may be released in whole, or in part, under certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of the 2022 Notes.

The 2022 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of the Issuers’ subsidiaries except Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC (the “Guarantors”). The guarantees of the 2022 Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Guarantors’ assets, the same collateral that secures the guarantees under the Company’s credit facilities and the Existing Notes.

The 2022 Indenture contains covenants limiting the Issuers’ and the Issuers’ restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: pay dividends or distributions or repurchase equity; incur additional debt; make investments; create liens on assets to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; issue stock of, or member’s interests in, subsidiaries; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; engage in other businesses; merge or consolidate with another company; transfer and sell assets;


issue disqualified stock; create dividend and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

Events of default under the 2022 Indenture include, among others, the following: default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the 2022 Notes; default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the 2022 Notes; failure to comply with certain covenants in the 2022 Indenture; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuers, any significant restricted subsidiary or any group of restricted subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant restricted subsidiary, all 2022 Notes then outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the 2022 Indenture, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Registration Rights Agreement for 5.375% First Mortgage Notes due 2022

On March 12, 2012, in connection with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, the Issuers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers and the Guarantors agreed to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”), having substantially identical terms as the 2022 Notes, as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable Exchange Notes for the 2022 Notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers and the Guarantors agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC within 210 days after March 12, 2012 and to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 300 days after March 12, 2012. The Issuers and the Guarantors agreed to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the 2022 Notes if they cannot complete an exchange offer within the time periods listed in the preceding sentence and in certain other circumstances. The Issuers and the Guarantors may be required to pay liquidated damages if they fail to comply with the registration and exchange requirements set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Disbursement Agreement

On March 12, 2012 in connection with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Master Disbursement Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2007, as amended by a First Amendment thereto, dated as of October 31, 2007, a Second Amendment thereto, dated as of November 6, 2007, Section 7(a) of that certain Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2009, a Third Amendment thereto, dated as of October 19, 2009, a Fourth Amendment thereto, dated as of April 28, 2010, and a Fifth Amendment thereto, dated as of August 4, 2010 (as so amended, the “Disbursement Agreement”), by and among the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as bank agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust


Company Americas, as disbursement agent. The Sixth Amendment, among other things, waives the Company’s obligation to achieve the Phase II Final Completion Date and removes the Completion Guaranty Release Conditions (as such terms are defined in the Disbursement Agreement), and makes certain technical changes to reflect the issuance of the 2022 Notes.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Sixth Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement

On March 12, 2012, the Company entered into an eighth amendment (“Amendment No. 8”) to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2006 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 9, 2007, that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2007, that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 17, 2008, that certain Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2009, that certain Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 10, 2009, that certain Sixth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2010, and that certain Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2010, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Administrative Agent, issuing lender and swing line lender, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as lead arranger and joint book running manager, Banc of America Securities LLC, as lead arranger and joint book running manager, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, J.P.

Amendment No. 8 amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the issuance of the 2022 Notes. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, the Company has prepaid all term loans under the Credit Agreement, has terminated all of its revolving credit commitments that were due to expire in 2013, and has terminated all but $100,000,000 of its revolving credit commitments expiring in 2015.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement, which, as Exhibit B to Amendment No. 8, is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by this reference.

Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; provided, however, that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

The Excess Proceeds Offer shall be made to all Holders and any holders of Pari Passu Debt. The Excess Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “ Offer Period ”).

Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “ Purchase Date ”), Wynn Las Vegas shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the “ Offer Amount ”) to the purchase of Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and any such Pari Passu Debt tendered in response to the Excess Proceeds Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer.

Wynn Las Vegas shall provide the Trustee with notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer at least 10 days (or such lesser time as the Trustee shall permit) prior to its commencement. Upon the commencement of an Excess Proceeds Offer, Wynn Las Vegas shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Excess Proceeds Offer, shall state:

(g) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if Wynn Las Vegas, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that

 

66

(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders and Pari Passu Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, Wynn Las Vegas shall select the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased, on a pro rata basis, based on the principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Debt surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Wynn Las Vegas so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, shall be purchased); and

(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, Wynn Las Vegas shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Debt, or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and if applicable, Pari Passu Debt, tendered, and shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Debt, or portions thereof were accepted for payment by Wynn Las Vegas in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.10.

Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by Wynn Las Vegas to the Holder thereof. Wynn Las Vegas shall publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer on the Purchase Date.

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Wynn Las Vegas or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither Wynn Las Vegas nor a Restricted Subsidiary thereof shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (4);

(5) the incurrence by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the date on which the Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture shall initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) hereof. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

 

78


(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

Wynn Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(a) Wynn Las Vegas (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (it being understood that a percentage of the purchase price may be subject to escrow arrangements customary for asset sales);

(b) if the aggregate consideration to be received by Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary is in excess of $10.0 million, the Fair Market Value is evidenced by a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Wynn Las Vegas delivered to the Trustee; and

(c) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For purposes of this Section 4.10, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(1) any liabilities, as shown on Wynn Las Vegas’ most recent consolidated balance sheet, of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Wynn Las Vegas or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 30 Business Days by Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Wynn Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof. In any such case, Wynn Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall take all necessary action to ensure that the security interest of the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, continues as a perfected first priority security interest (equal and ratable with the security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes, the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) on any property or assets acquired or constructed with the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale on the terms set forth in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, Wynn Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may (1)

 

79


apply the Net Proceeds to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any pari passu secured revolving credit Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (2) invest the Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents which, at any time other than during a Collateral Release Period, shall be subject to a perfected first priority security interest (equal and ratable with the security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes and the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes, and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, as security for the Notes.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute “ Excess Net Proceeds .” Within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or (ii) the date when the proceeds of any sale of assets are required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas (such Excess Net Proceeds and the proceeds described in the preceding clause (ii) shall collectively constitute “ Excess Proceeds ”), Wynn Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of the Excess Proceeds, determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “ Asset Sale Offer Amount ”), to make an offer (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”) to all holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Proceeds less the Asset Sale Offer Amount (the “ Asset Sale Repayment Amount ”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Asset Sale Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment, such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Asset Sale Offer Amount and offered to the holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer and repayment of any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Wynn Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may use those Excess Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture, the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes, the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes and the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, to reduce revolving credit Indebtedness (and, if required, commitments) under the Credit Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Asset Sale Offer Amount that may be applied to the Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased as described in Sections 3.02 and 3.10 hereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations

 

80


are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.10 or this Section 4.10, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing prior to the consummation of such Affiliate Transaction; and

(3) in the case of any Affiliate Transaction involving the use of the Aircraft (if such aircraft is owned by Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Subsidiary) for any purpose not reasonably related to the Projects or the Permitted Businesses of Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary relating to or in connection with the Projects, Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is reimbursed promptly for actual costs and expenses incurred by such Person in connection with such use.

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):

(1) any employment agreement entered into by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any Person (other than the Principal) in the ordinary course of business;

(7) any Permitted Investment made pursuant to clauses (12), (13) or (14) of the definition thereof; and

(8) the issuance by Wynn Las Vegas of any Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to any Affiliate if such issuance is otherwise not in contravention of the terms of this Indenture.

Section 4.12 Liens.

Wynn Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any proceeds, income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.

Section 4.13 Line of Business.

Wynn Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business or investment activities other than the Permitted Business. Wynn Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, conduct a Permitted Business in any gaming jurisdiction in which such entity is not licensed on the date of this Indenture if the Holders of the Notes would be required to be licensed as a result thereof; provided that this sentence shall not prohibit any entity from conducting a Permitted Business in any jurisdiction that does not require the licensing or qualification of all the Holders of Notes, but reserves the discretionary right to require the licensing or qualification of any Holders of Notes.

 

82


Section 4.14 Corporate and Organizational Existence.

Subject to Article 5 hereof, except in the case of a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion, each of the Issuers shall, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(a) its corporate or limited liability company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); and

(b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuers and their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however , that the Issuers and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers), if the Board of Directors of Wynn Capital or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.15 Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “ Change of Control Offer ”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase (the “ Change of Control Payment ”).

Section 4.16 Events of Loss

After any Event of Loss with respect to Collateral, Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from the Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the damaged Collateral, with no obligation to make any purchase of any Notes; so long as, in the case of any such Collateral with a Fair Market Value (or replacement cost, if higher) in excess of $500.0 million:

(a) Wynn Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 90 days of the Event of Loss a written opinion from a reputable contractor that the damaged Collateral can be rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating within 365 days following the delivery of such written opinion to the Trustee;

(b) Wynn Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 120 days of the Event of Loss an Officers’ Certificate certifying that Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary has available from Net Loss Proceeds, cash on hand or available borrowings under Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof to complete the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction described in clause (a) above and, together with any anticipated revenues projected to be generated during the repair or restoration period, to pay debt service on its Indebtedness during the repair or restoration period; and

(c) the damaged Collateral is rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating in substantially the manner that it was operating immediately prior to the Event of Loss within 365 days following the delivery of such written opinion to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16, if the damaged Collateral is not necessary for and is not used in the operation of the Wynn Las Vegas Resort or Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, as the case may be, Wynn Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply the Net Loss Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof.

Any Net Loss Proceeds that are (1) not reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.16 or (2) otherwise required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, in each case, shall be deemed “ Excess Loss Proceeds .” Within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million or (ii) the date when, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Excess Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of such Excess Loss Proceeds determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Loss Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “ Event of Loss Offer Amount ”), to make an offer (an “ Event of Loss Offer ”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal

 

85


amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Loss Proceeds less the Event of Loss Offer Amount (the “ Event of Loss Repayment Amount ”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the Event of Loss Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment but does not exceed $100.0 million (unless the lenders under the Credit Agreement have waived any requirement of Wynn Las Vegas to prepay revolving credit Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to effect a corresponding permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Event of Loss Offer Amount and offered to the Holders of the Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer and repayment of any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, Wynn Las Vegas (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may use those Excess Loss Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture, the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes, the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes, the Notes and the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, to reduce revolving credit Indebtedness (and, if required, commitments) under the Credit Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Event of Loss Offer Amount that may be applied to the Event of Loss Offer, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to be purchased as described in Sections 3.02 and Section 3.10 hereof. Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Any Event of Loss Offer made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes, or the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes shall be required to be made to the Holders, as holders of Pari Passu Debt (as defined in those indentures).

Pending their application, all Net Loss Proceeds shall either be (1) applied to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any pari passu secured revolving credit Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, or (2) invested in Cash Equivalents held in an account in which the Trustee has a perfected first priority security interest for the benefit of the Holders (equal and ratable with the perfected security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes, the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). These funds and securities shall be released to Wynn Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) to pay for or reimburse Wynn Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) for either (1) the actual cost of a permitted use of Net Loss Proceeds as provided in this Section 4.16, or (2) the Event of Loss Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Wynn Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, a security interest (equal and ratable with the perfected security interest securing the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes and the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes, and subject to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), on any property or assets rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed with such Net Loss Proceeds on the terms set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

 

86


In the event of an Event of Loss pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Event of Loss” with respect to property or assets that have a Fair Market Value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $500.0 million, Wynn Las Vegas (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall be required to receive consideration:

(a) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (evidenced by a resolution of Wynn Capital’s Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the property or assets subject to the Event of Loss; and

(b) at least 80% of which is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.16 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of Wynn Capital may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Wynn Capital, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas if that designation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made in an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments, as determined by Wynn Las Vegas. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” The Board of Directors of Wynn Capital may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, Wynn Las Vegas shall be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of Wynn Capital may at any time redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of

 

87


Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter Reference Period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 4.18 Limitation on Status as Investment Company.

(a) Wynn Las Vegas or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof;

(b) the gross cash proceeds of such sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Wynn Capital or that Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of such sale and leaseback transaction; and

(c) the transfer of assets in such sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and Wynn Las Vegas or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.10 hereof.

Section 4.20 Restrictions on Payments of Management Fees.

Wynn Las Vegas shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(a) pay Management Fees if, at the time of payment of such Management Fees, a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall occur as a result thereof, or

(b) prepay any Management Fees.

Any Management Fees not permitted to be paid during a particular 12-month period pursuant to this Section 4.20 shall be deferred and shall accrue. Such accrued and unpaid Management Fees may be paid in any subsequent 12-month period to the extent such payment would be permitted under this Section 4.20 and the Management Fees Subordination Agreement.

In addition, Wynn Las Vegas shall not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’ qualifying shares) to any Person other than to Wynn Las Vegas or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas that is a Guarantor.

98


Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. In addition, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes, each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to be discharged from their obligations with respect to their Note Guarantees and the Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall

 

107


be deemed to be discharged from their obligations with respect to the Collateral Documents on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “ Legal Defeasance ”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and each of the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in Sections 8.02(a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors released may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note

Upon request of the Issuers, the Trustee will enter into amendments, restatements and modifications of the Collateral Documents from time to time in connection with the grant of any Permitted Liens; provided, however, that any such amended, restated or modified Collateral Documents shall contain terms no less favorable to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes than the terms contained in the Collateral Documents being amended, restated or modified (except as expressly provided for in this Indenture); provided, further, that any such amendment, restatement or modification does not otherwise adversely affect the rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes in any material respect (except as expressly provided for in this Indenture).

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.10, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof), the Notes, the Note Guarantees and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the

 

112


Notes, the Note Guarantees or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Collateral Documents, any amendment or modification to the definition of “Excluded Assets” in the Pledge and Security Agreement or the definition of “Excluded Property” in the Deeds of Trust shall require, in addition to the other consents required pursuant to Section 10.01(b) hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consent obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), if as a result of such amendment or modification, the Notes will not be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuers and the Guarantors.

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or by the Guarantors with any provision of the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected or, in the case of clauses (h), (i) and (j) below only, without the consent of the Holders of at least 95% in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

 

113


(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.10, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof;

(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes;

(g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.10, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof);

(h) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case, except in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents;

(i) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture if the assets or properties of that Guarantor constitute all or substantially all of the Collateral, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(j) amend the provisions of Section 10.03 hereof; or

(k) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

114


Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10.

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 10.01 Collateral Documents.

(a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest and premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest and premium and Liquidated Damages (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors to the Holders of Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Collateral Documents which the Issuers and the Guarantors have entered into prior to or simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture (including, without limitation, the Collateral Documents listed on Exhibit G hereto). Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral and limitations on exercise of rights and remedies) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Collateral Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuers and Guarantors shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Issuers shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Collateral Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interests in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by

 

115


the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) for the security and benefit of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees secured by the Collateral Documents, according to the intent and purposes therein expressed. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuers shall take, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries that are party to one or more Collateral Documents to take, upon request of the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder and of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien of the priority required by the Collateral Documents in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, in each case, equal and ratable with the Liens securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement and subject to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes are not secured by the deeds of trust entered into prior to the date hereof to secure the Credit Agreement, the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes or the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder by accepting a Note agrees that, as described in the Deeds of Trust and the Pledge and Security Agreement, each of the Deeds of Trust and Pledge and Security Agreement and any other document or instrument pursuant to which the Issuers or any Affiliate thereof from time to time grants a Lien to the Trustee or the Holders or an agent or representative on their behalf to secure their obligations hereunder (collectively, the “Security Documents”) are “Shared Security Documents,” and that the Trustee is authorized and directed by each Holder to treat and the Trustee and each such Holder agrees that it will treat the same as “Shared Security Documents” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the terms thereof for all purposes, including without limitation, for purposes of amending, modifying, varying or waiving any provision thereof, releasing any collateral thereunder, exercising any rights or remedies thereunder, directing the Collateral Agent thereunder to take any action thereunder or with respect thereto, removing the Collateral Agent and for purposes of sharing the proceeds of the collateral thereunder with the other First Lien Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Trustee shall (and is hereby authorized to) take or instruct the Collateral Agent thereunder to take such actions under the Security Documents or related thereto as requested by the Required Secured Parties from time to time, and notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture to the contrary, unless all debt secured by the Security Documents has been Discharged, the Trustee will not release or instruct the Collateral Agent thereunder to release any Collateral unless such release has been consented to by each other Project Credit Party or such Collateral has been released from the Lien securing the obligations owed to all other First Lien Secured Parties. The Holders hereby designate and direct the Trustee to designate, and the Trustee hereby designates Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as its collateral agent to act as specified in and under the Intercreditor Agreement, this Indenture, the Security Documents and any other such documents or instruments entered into by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (and its successors) as the collateral agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders. In addition, regardless of whether required by the Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder hereby agrees that to the extent that the Holders obtain a recovery under a title insurance policy that insures the Deeds of Trust, and such recovery would result in the Holders receiving a greater percentage recovery on the Notes (relative to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes) than the corresponding percentage recovery that will

 

116


be obtained by the other First Lien Secured Parties that are parties to (or whose representative is party to) the Intercreditor Agreement as of the date of this Indenture (after giving effect to Section 8 of the Intercreditor Agreement and the title insurance proceeds received by such other First Lien Secured Parties from their policies of title insurance) in connection with the exercise of remedies or other event or loss that gave rise to the recovery obtained by the Holders, then the Holders will turn over a portion of such proceeds to the Collateral Agent for distribution to such other First Lien Secured Parties in amounts necessary to ensure that each such party receives a similar percentage recovery (relative to the outstanding principal amount of First Lien Secured Obligations then held by such party) from such proceeds. The Issuers and the Guarantors hereby consent to the foregoing provisions. Each Project Credit Party is an express beneficiary of this Section 10.01(b) and the provisions of this Section 10.01(b) may not be amended or modified without the consent of each Project Credit Party.

Section 10.02 Recording and Opinions.

(a) The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Indenture an Opinion of Counsel either:

(1) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering and filing of this Indenture, financing statements or other instruments necessary to make effective the Lien intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, and reciting with respect to the security interests in the Collateral, the details of such action; or

(2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to make such Lien effective.

(b) The Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee within 30 days after November 30 in each year beginning with November 30, 2012, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of such date, either:

(1) (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, action has been taken with respect to the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-registering and re-filing of all supplemental indentures, financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments of further assurance as is necessary to maintain the Lien of the Collateral Documents and reciting with respect to the security interests in the Collateral the details of such action or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, and (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, based on relevant laws as in effect on the date of such Opinion of Counsel, all financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed that are necessary as of such date and during the succeeding 12 months fully to preserve and protect, to the extent such protection and preservation are possible by filing, the rights of the Holders of Notes and the Trustee hereunder and under the Collateral Documents with respect to the security interests in the Collateral;

(2) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien and assignment.

(c) The Issuers shall otherwise comply with the provisions of TIA §314(b).

 

117

(a) Subject to Sections 9.02 and 10.01(b), the other provisions of this Section 10.03 and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents, the Trustee will determine the circumstances and manner in which the Collateral will be disposed of, including the determination of whether to release all of the Collateral from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents and whether to foreclose on the Collateral following an Event of Default.

(2) all Collateral that is condemned, seized or taken by the power of eminent domain or otherwise confiscated pursuant to an Event of Loss; provided that the Net Loss Proceeds, if any, from the Event of Loss are or shall be applied in accordance with Sections 3.10 and 4.16 hereof;

(9) any Water Rights covered by or relating to any water permits so long as such Water Rights are covered by or related to other water permits owned by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The Trustee shall (i) release (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers) the Liens granted by Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Subsidiaries in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders on all of the Collateral, including the Golf Course Land and (ii) permit the termination of the Golf Course Lease and the Access Easement Agreement, so long as:

(1) the lenders under the Credit Agreement release their first Liens on all of the Collateral (provided that it shall not be deemed to be a release of the first priority Lien requiring the automatic release of the Trustee’s Liens (for the benefit of the Holders) if the release of the first priority Liens securing the Credit Agreement is the result of an extension, refinancing, renewal, replacement, amendment and restatement, restatement, defeasance or refunding (collectively, a “ Refinancing ”) of the Credit Agreement and as a result of which the first priority Liens in favor of the administrative agent (for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement) are terminated and/ or replaced with Liens in favor of the lenders or holders of such refinancing Indebtedness (or any agent on their behalf));

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

In addition, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and Section 10.01(b) hereof, the Holders’ security interest in all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Notes may be released at any time with the consent of the Holders of 95% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Upon any such release of those security interests, the disposition or transfer of such assets shall no longer be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in this Indenture.

In the event that the Issuers or the Guarantors grant Liens (other than Liens permitted under clause (25) of the definition of Permitted Liens) to secure any other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (7) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”) after the Holders’ security interests in all of the Collateral has been released as set forth in this Section 10.03(b), the Issuers or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be required to grant security interests on the same assets to secure the

 

119


Issuers’ obligations under the Notes and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Note Guarantees on an equal and ratable basis with such other Indebtedness, so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured. In such event, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized, on behalf of the Holders, to enter into an intercreditor agreement substantially similar to the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) The Trustee shall (i) release (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers) the Liens granted by Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Subsidiaries in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders on all of the Golf Course Land (and the related Water Rights) and (ii) permit the termination of the Golf Course Lease and the Access Easement Agreement, so long as:

In the event that, following the automatic release of the Trustee’s Liens (for the benefit of the Holders) in the Home Site Land, Wynn Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries grants a Lien on any or all of the Home Site Land to secure other Indebtedness or any Guarantee thereof, such Person shall concurrently grant a Lien on such portions of the Home Site Land in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to secure the Notes (or, if such Person is a Guarantor, its Note Guarantee); provided that the Lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders shall be a first priority Lien pari passu with the Liens securing in favor of the lenders under the Credit Agreement, subject only to other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement).

ARTICLE 11.

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Note Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. Each Guarantor waives any right or claims of right to cause a marshalling of the Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s assets or to proceed against any Guarantor, any Issuer or any other guarantor of any Obligations that are Guaranteed in any particular order, including, but not limited to, any right arising out of Nevada Revised Statutes 40.430, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes 40.495(2).

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

 

125


(d) Each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, as the case may be, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, as the case may be, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

 

126


The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event that the Issuers create or acquire any Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Sections 4.21 and 4.25 hereof, the Issuers shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.21 and 4.25 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

Section 11.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a) A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than either of the Issuers or another Guarantor, unless:

(1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2) either:

(A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture and other appropriate documents satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(B) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof.

(b) In case of any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of or involving a Guarantor under this Section 11.04 hereof, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuers or another Guarantor.

 

127


(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Guarantor is permitted to reorganize as a corporation pursuant to a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.

Upon delivery by Wynn Las Vegas to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(a) if the lenders under the Credit Agreement release the guarantees by such Guarantor under the Credit Agreement (provided that it will not be deemed to be a release of the first priority security interest requiring the automatic release of the Trustee’s Liens (for the benefit of the Holders) if the release of the first priority lien securing the Credit Agreement is the result of a Refinancing of the Credit Agreement and as a result of which the first priority liens in favor of the administrative agent (for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement) are terminated and/ or replaced with liens in favor of the lenders or holders of such refinancing Indebtedness (or any agent on their behalf);

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, if the sale or other disposition is made in compliance with Section 4.10 hereof, and if, after giving effect to such sale or other disposition, such Guarantor is an Immaterial Subsidiary;

 

128


(c) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) an Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof;

(d) if Wynn Las Vegas designates such Guarantor, if a Restricted Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17 hereof; or

(e) upon Legal Defeasance as provided for in Section 8.02 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided for in Section 12.01 hereof.

ARTICLE 12.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture and the Collateral Documents shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(a) either:

(1) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation will become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

 

129


(c) the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuers under this Indenture; and

In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture , if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.

131


such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either of the Issuers or any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights, (xi) any rights which it may acquire by way of contribution under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such contribution rights, and (xii) any defense based on one action laws and any other anti deficiency protections granted to guarantors by applicable law. No failure or delay on the Trustee’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under this Indenture shall impair or waive one such power, right or privilege. Each of the Issuers acknowledges and agrees that any nonrecourse or exculpation provided for in this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, or any other provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, limiting the Beneficiaries’ recourse to specific collateral, or limiting the Beneficiaries’ right to enforce a deficiency judgment against the Issuers, shall have absolutely no application to the Issuers’ liability under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Documents.

(c) In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Article 13 and the corresponding provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document to which both of the Issuers are a party, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) Interest . Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ Wynn Las Vegas ” ) and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Wynn Capital,” and together with Wynn Las Vegas, the “ Issuers ”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.375% per annum from March 12, 2012 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided , further , that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2012. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) Method of Payment . The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which

 

A-1-2


shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar . Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture and Collateral Documents . The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “ Indenture ”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Issuers. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a grant of a security interest in Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes (other than Exchange Notes) issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “ Additional Notes .” The term “ Notes ” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.

(5) Optional Redemption .

(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuers shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to March 15, 2017. On or after March 15, 2017, the Issuers shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to March 15, 2015, the Issuers may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings of Wynn Resorts that are contributed to Wynn Las Vegas; at

 

A-1-3


a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture (including Additional Notes) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, and that such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Qualified Equity Offering.

(7) Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note, if any Gaming Authority requires a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable Gaming Law and the Holder or Beneficial Owner (a) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (b) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Issuers shall have the right, at their option, to: (1) require the Holder or Beneficial Owner to dispose of its Notes within 30 days (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority) following the earlier of: (a) the termination of the period described above for the Holder or Beneficial Owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability if the Holder fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability during such period, or (b) the receipt of the notice from the Gaming Authority that the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable by the Gaming Authority; or (2) redeem the Notes of the Holder or Beneficial Owner at a redemption price equal to: (a) the price required by applicable law or by order of any Gaming Authority, or (b) the lesser of: (i) the principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) the price that the Holder or Beneficial Owner paid for the Notes, in either case, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes to the earlier of (A) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (B) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.

Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.

The Issuers are not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs relating thereto. Those expenses shall be the obligation of the Holder or Beneficial Owner.

 

A-1-4


(8) Repurchase at Option of Holder .

(a) If a Change of Control, occurs, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “ Change of Control Offer ”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “ Change of Control Payment ”). Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b) If Wynn Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries consummate any Asset Sales, within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or (ii) the date when the proceeds of any sale of assets are required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of the Excess Proceeds, determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “ Asset Sale Offer Amount ”), to make an offer (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”) to all holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.10 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Proceeds less the Asset Sale Offer Amount (the “ Asset Sale Repayment Amount ”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided , however , that to the extent that the Asset Sale Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment, such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Asset Sale Offer Amount and offered to the holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Asset Sale Offer from Wynn Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “ Option of Holder to Elect Purchase ” attached to the Notes.

(c) If Wynn Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries experiences an Event of Loss with respect to Collateral (other than Events of Loss with respect to Collateral comprising Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, if applicable, at any time prior to the completion of construction of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas), within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $500.0 million or (ii) the date when, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Excess Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of such Excess Loss Proceeds determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Loss Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then

 

A-1-5


outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “ Event of Loss Offer Amount ”), to make an offer (an “ Event of Loss Offer ”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.16 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Loss Proceeds less the Event of Loss Offer Amount (the “ Event of Loss Repayment Amount ”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided , however , that to the extent that the Event of Loss Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment but does not exceed $100.0 million (unless the lenders under the Credit Agreement have waived any requirement of Wynn Las Vegas to prepay revolving credit Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to effect a corresponding permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Event of Loss Offer Amount and offered to the Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer as provided in the previous sentence above. Any Event of Loss Offer made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes or the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes shall be required to be made to the Holders of Notes as holders of Pari Passu Debt (as defined in those indentures). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Event of Loss Offer from Wynn Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “ Option of Holder to Elect Purchase ” attached to the Notes.

(9) Notice of Redemption . Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

(10) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange . The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required

 

A-1-9


to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

(14) Intercreditor Agreement . The Indenture authorizes the Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of itself and the Holders of the Notes. The Intercreditor Agreement will restrict the ability of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to exercise certain rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will have the right, subject to certain limited exceptions, to direct the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments of, or waive defaults under, the Collateral Documents that grant Liens on the Collateral without obtaining consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. At any time when at least $100.0 million in Indebtedness remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will also have the right to amend the Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, so long as such amendment only affects the subordination provisions in respect of any junior Indebtedness but does not affect the provisions governing the relationship between the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Holders of the Notes.

(15) Trustee Dealings with Issuers . The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.

(16) No Recourse Against Others . No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

(17) Authentication . This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(18) Abbreviations . Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(19) Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes . In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture,

 

A-1-10


Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 2012, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Issuers and the Guarantors to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”).

(20) Governing Law . THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 4-1401 OF THE NEW YORK OBLIGATIONS LAW.

(21) CUSIP Numbers . Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Issuers shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Collateral Documents. Requests may be made to:

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) Interest . Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ Wynn Las Vegas ”) and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation (“ Wynn Capital ,” and together with Wynn Las Vegas, the “ Issuers ”), as joint and several obligors, promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.375% per annum from March 12, 2012 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Issuers shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “ Interest Payment Date ”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided , further , that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2012. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; they shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Note is exchanged for one or more Regulation S Permanent Global Notes, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments of interest hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Notes under the Indenture.

(2) Method of Payment . The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such

 

A-2-2


Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar . Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture and Collateral Documents . The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of March 12, 2012 (the “ Indenture ”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Issuers. The Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a grant of a security interest in Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. Notes (other than Exchange Notes) issued after the date of the Indenture in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Indenture are referred to as “ Additional Notes .” The term “ Notes ” includes any Additional Notes hereafter issued.

(5) Optional Redemption .

(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Issuers shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to March 15, 2017.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to March 15, 2015, the Issuers may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings of Wynn Resorts that are contributed to Wynn Las Vegas; at a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture (including Additional Notes) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, and that such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of such Qualified Equity Offering.

(7) Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws .

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 as soon as practicable.

Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Holder or Beneficial Owner shall not have any further rights with respect to the Notes to: (a) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes; or (b) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Issuers for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.

 

A-2-4


The Issuers are not required to pay or reimburse any Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs relating thereto. Those expenses shall be the obligation of the Holder or Beneficial Owner.

(8) Repurchase at Option of Holder .

(a) If a Change of Control, occurs, the Issuers shall make an offer (a “ Change of Control Offer ”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “ Change of Control Payment ”). Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b) If Wynn Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries consummate any Asset Sales, within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Net Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million or (ii) the date when the proceeds of any sale of assets are required, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of the Excess Proceeds, determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “ Asset Sale Offer Amount ”), to make an offer (an “ Asset Sale Offer ”) to all holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.10 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Proceeds less the Asset Sale Offer Amount (the “ Asset Sale Repayment Amount ”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided , however , that to the extent that the Asset Sale Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment, such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Asset Sale Offer Amount and offered to the holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer as provided in the preceding sentence. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Asset Sale Offer from Wynn Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “ Option of Holder to Elect Purchase ” attached to the Notes.

 

A-2-5


(c) If Wynn Las Vegas or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries experiences an Event of Loss with respect to Collateral (other than Events of Loss with respect to Collateral comprising Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, if applicable, at any time prior to the completion of the construction of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas), within 10 days following the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $500.0 million or (ii) the date when, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Excess Loss Proceeds are required to be applied to reduce Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Las Vegas shall allocate a portion of such Excess Loss Proceeds determined by multiplying the amount of such Excess Loss Proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding and all Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement (such amount being the “ Event of Loss Offer Amount ”), to make an offer (an “ Event of Loss Offer ”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.16 of the Indenture to repurchase such Notes and such Pari Passu Debt at an offer price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt to the date of repurchase, which offer price shall be payable in cash. The amount of any such Excess Loss Proceeds less the Event of Loss Offer Amount (the “ Event of Loss Repayment Amount ”) shall concurrently be applied to repay any term Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement; provided , however , that to the extent that the Event of Loss Repayment Amount exceeds the amount of term Indebtedness then outstanding under the Credit Agreement at the time of repayment but does not exceed $100.0 million (unless the lenders under the Credit Agreement have waived any requirement of Wynn Las Vegas to prepay revolving credit Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement and to effect a corresponding permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), such excess amount (after repayment in full of the term Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) shall be added to the Event of Loss Offer Amount and offered to the Holders of Notes and, to the extent required, the holders of such Pari Passu Debt pursuant to the Event of Loss Offer as provided in the previous sentence above. Any Event of Loss Offer made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2017 Notes, the 7  7 / 8 % 2020 Notes or the 7  3 / 4 % 2020 Notes shall be required to be made to the Holders of Notes, as holders of Pari Passu Debt (as defined in those indentures). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase shall receive an Event of Loss Offer from Wynn Las Vegas prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “ Option of Holder to Elect Purchase ” attached to the Notes.

(9) Notice of Redemption . Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

 

A-2-6


(10) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange . The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

A-2-9


Wynn Las Vegas or (c) any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas that, taken together, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and in the other Collateral Documents. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture and the Collateral Documents. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

(14) Intercreditor Agreement . The Indenture authorizes the Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of itself and the Holders of the Notes. The Intercreditor Agreement will restrict the ability of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes to exercise certain rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will have the right, subject to certain limited exceptions, to direct the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments of, or waive defaults under, the Collateral Documents that grant Liens on the Collateral without obtaining consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. At any time when at least $100.0 million in Indebtedness remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the agent under the Credit Agreement will also have the right to amend the Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, so long as such amendment only affects the subordination provisions in respect of any junior Indebtedness but does not affect the provisions governing the relationship between the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Holders of the Notes.

(15) Trustee Dealings with Issuers . The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.

(16) No Recourse Against Others . No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for

 

A-2-10


any obligations of either Issuer, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

(17) Authentication . This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(18) Abbreviations . Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(19) Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes . In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 2012, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Issuers and the Guarantors to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”).

(20) Governing Law . THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 4-1401 OF THE NEW YORK OBLIGATIONS LAW.

(21) CUSIP Numbers . Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

3


disposition, merger or other material corporate transaction involving the Issuers or any of the Issuers’ subsidiaries or affiliates (it being understood that, in the case of this clause (a), the Issuers shall be required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to proceed in good faith to amend such Registration Statement or supplement to such related Prospectus as soon as practicable to describe such events or to otherwise cause such Registration Statement to become effective and the related Prospectus to again be usable at such time as so doing would not have such a material adverse effect), or (b) when, at any time prior to the date which is one year from the effective date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (i) the Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) after the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that is required to remain effective to permit resales of Initial Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) below, in each case, ceases to be effective or any related Prospectus is not usable solely because the Issuers filed a post-effective amendment to any such Registration Statement to include annual audited financial information with respect to the Issuers and such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related Prospectus (it being understood that in the case of this clause (b), the Issuers shall be required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such post-effective amendment to become effective as soon as practicable); provided that such Suspension Periods shall not occur for more than 45 consecutive days, or more than 75 days in the aggregate; provided , further , that upon the termination of such Suspension Period, the Issuers shall promptly advise each Holder and purchaser and, if requested by any such Person, confirm such advice in writing that such Suspension Period has been terminated.

TIA : The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Section 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture.

SECTION 2. HOLDERS

A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “ Holder ”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

 

SECTION 3. REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

(a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable federal law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied

 

4


with), the Issuers and the Guarantors shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission on or prior to 210 days after the Closing Date (such applicable filing deadline, the “ Exchange Offer Filing Deadline ”), (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 300 days after the Closing Date (such 300 th day being the “ Exchange Offer Effectiveness Deadline ”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and qualification of the Initial Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Initial Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Initial Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered Initial Notes into the Exchange Offer that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Issuers or any of their respective Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.

(b) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided , however , that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Initial Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated not later than the 30 th Business Day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective, or, if later, the 10 th Business Day after the Exchange Offer expires (such applicable deadline being the “ Consummation Deadline ”).

(c) The Issuers shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission.

 

5


Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Initial Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Issuers and Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Initial Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Issuers and the Guarantors agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to (i) the provisions of Section 6(a) and (c) hereof and (ii) any applicable Suspension Period, and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto; provided , however , that if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement ceases to be effective during any Suspension Period, such 180-day period shall be extended by the number of days such Suspension Period is in effect. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in no event later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such period.

If, after the Issuers and Guarantors have filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Issuers and Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Issuers and Guarantors shall remain obligated to meet the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y).

To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to (i) the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and (ii) any applicable Suspension Period, and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years, or one year if such Shelf Registration Statement is filed at the request of a Holder or Holders, (in each case, as such time may be extended pursuant to Section 6(d) hereof) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or when all Initial Notes cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities.

(b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement . No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Issuers in writing, within 15 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act or other information reasonably requested by the Issuers and required by Regulation S-K of the Act in order to fulfill their obligations hereunder for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such information.

The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages of $0.50 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay liquidated damages for more than one Registration Default at any given time. Such interest is payable in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) upon the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (a) above, (ii) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (b) above, (iii) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (c) above, or (iv) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of (d) above, the liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (a), (b), (c) or (d), as applicable, shall cease to accrue.

All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for with respect to the payment of interest in the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Notes), as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors to pay liquidated damages with respect to securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, its directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser or Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 8 as an “ Indemnified Holder ”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) provided by the Issuers to any Indemnified Holder or any prospective purchaser of Initial Exchange Notes or registered Initial Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a preliminary prospectus or Prospectus or any supplement thereto, in the light of circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, provided , however , that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information expressly furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Indemnified Holder or any underwriter with respect to such Indemnified Holder or underwriter, expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). Any amounts advanced by the Issuers to an indemnified party pursuant to this Section 8 as a result of such losses shall be returned to the Issuers if it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a judgment not subject to appeal or final review that such indemnified party was not entitled to indemnification by the Issuers. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Issuers or the Guarantors may otherwise have to any Indemnified Holder.

(b) Each Indemnified Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and the Guarantors, and their respective members, managers, directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Issuers, or the Guarantors to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information included in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information expressly furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of such Indemnified Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In no event shall any Indemnified Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Indemnified Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Indemnified Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Indemnified Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Indemnified Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Indemnified Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the each Indemnified Holder may otherwise have to the Issuers and the Guarantors.

 

18


(c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “ indemnified party ”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “ indemnifying party ”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), an Indemnified Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Issuers and the Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i) effected with the indemnifying party’s written consent or (ii) effected without the indemnifying party’s written consent, if the settlement is entered into more than 30 business days after the indemnifying party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply with such reimbursement request. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

 

19


(d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Issuer or such Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Indemnified Holder, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(a), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Issuers, the Guarantors and each Indemnified Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Indemnified Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Indemnified Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Indemnified Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total received by such Indemnified Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Indemnified Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages which such Indemnified Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Indemnified Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by each Indemnified Holder hereunder and not joint.

 

20


SECTION 9. RULE 144A AND RULE 144

Each Issuer and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which such Issuer and such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

(a) Remedies . The Issuers and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that any failure by the Issuers and/or the Guarantors to comply with their respective obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Issuers and the Guarantors further agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements .

  (b) the execution and delivery of the Eighth Amendment Documents and the performance of the obligations of the Borrower and each of the Wynn Amendment Parties under or in respect of the Eighth Amendment Documents to which the Borrower or any Wynn Amendment Party as of the date this representation is being made is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Borrower and each such Wynn Amendment Party;

This Eighth Amendment shall be deemed to be effective on the date (the “ Eighth Amendment Effective Date ”) on which each of the foregoing conditions is satisfied and the parties hereto hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to provide any missing information in the Amended Credit Agreement on the date that it has determined, in its sole discretion and to its actual knowledge, that each of such conditions has been satisfied; provided that any such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to be a representation to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person regarding the satisfaction of such conditions or any other matter.

6. Consenting Lender Waiver . Each Consenting Lender hereby waives any amount owing to it pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement (“ Breakage Amount ”) to the extent such Breakage Amount is incurred in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to Section 5(a).

4


  Borrower and Capital Corp. of any and all Additional First Lien Mortgage Notes, the obligations of the Borrower and each of the Wynn Amendment Parties under the Security Documents to which it is a party (other than the Guarantee) are not impaired or affected (except as provided for in the Eighth Amendment Documents) and the Security Documents continue in full force and effect and shall secure the Obligations as amended by the Eighth Amendment Documents and (z) affirms and ratifies such Security Documents.

 

  (b) For the avoidance of doubt, by executing or consenting to this Eighth Amendment, each of the Consenting Lenders hereby ratifies and approves all prior amendments to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Seventh Amendment) and all other documents and instruments entered into by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in connection with the issuance of the Additional 2020 Notes and the Additional First Lien Mortgage Notes.

8. Miscellaneous . THIS EIGHTH AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, 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). This Eighth Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts and when signed by all of the parties listed below shall constitute a single binding agreement.

Except as amended hereby and the other Eighth Amendment Documents, all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect except that each reference to the “Credit Agreement”, or words of like import in any Loan Document, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Eighth Amendment shall be deemed a “Loan Document” as defined in the Credit Agreement. Section 10.12 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Eighth Amendment and all past and future amendments to the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents as if expressly set forth therein.

9. No Novation . This Eighth Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit Agreement or discharge or release the priority of any Loan Document or any other security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or the instruments, documents and agreements securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Eighth Amendment shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower or any Wynn Amendment Party from any of its obligations and liabilities under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

10. Effectiveness of Amendment to Security Agreement or New Security Agreement . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Borrower, the Wynn Amendment Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders hereby agree and acknowledge that, any amendment of the Security Agreement, or new security agreement, contemplated by Section 3(c) above shall, only insofar as it relates to collateral consisting of pledged equity in any entity licensed by or registered with the Nevada Gaming Authorities (but not in any other aspect thereof), only become effective when such amendment or new security agreement is approved by the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

(iv) On August 31, 2012, the Revolving Credit 2 Commitment of each Revolving Credit 2 Lender shall automatically, without further action by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, be permanently reduced by ten percent (10%) of the amount of the Revolving Credit 2 Commitment of such Lender then in effect; provided , however , that the aggregate amount of the foregoing reduction shall be reduced, Dollar for Dollar, by the aggregate amount of the reductions to the Revolving Credit 2 Commitments, if

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 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.

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. For purposes of clarification, Permitted Loan Repurchases shall not constitute payments (or prepayments) of Loans for any purpose hereunder.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Loan Lenders, and such payments and prepayments, and the principal amount of Term Loans cancelled and retired in connection with any Permitted Loan Repurchase, shall be applied to reduce the installments of such Term Loans (provided that the final payment of Term B-1 Loans and Term B-2 Loans on the Term B-1 Loan Termination Date and the Term B-2 Loan Termination Date, respectively, and of any Series of New Term Loans on the final maturity date thereof shall be treated as “installments” for purposes of this subsection (b)) pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments; provided , however , that any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.12(e)(i)(D) shall be applied in its entirety to reduce the installment of the Term B Loans due on September 30, 2012. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Borrower shall make each payment of interest on the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and each Series of New Term Loans on the dates and at the rates set forth in Section 2.15, which payments shall be made to the Term B-1 Loan Lenders, Term B-2 Loan Lenders and New Term Loan Lends under each Series of New Term Loans, as the case may be, pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of the Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans or New Term Loans (as applicable) then held by such Lenders and (ii) the Borrower shall repay the outstanding Term B-1 Loans to the Term B-1 Loan Lenders on the Term B-1 Loan Termination Date, the outstanding Term B-2 Loans to the Term B-2 Loan Lenders on the Term B-2 Loan Termination Date and the outstanding New Term Loans of each Series to the New Term Lenders thereunder on any amortization date or final maturity date of such Series.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) 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. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit 1 Commitments or Revolving Credit 2 Commitments (other than pursuant to Section 10.6(g)) shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit 1 Percentages or Revolving Credit 2 Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall make each payment of interest on the Revolving Credit 1 Loans and the Revolving Credit 2 Loans on the dates and at the rates set forth in Section 2.15, which payments shall be made to the Revolving Credit 1 Lenders or the Revolving Credit 2 Lenders, as the case may be, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit 1 Loans or Revolving Credit 2 Loans (as applicable) then held by such Lenders, (ii) the Borrower may apply prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans under Sections 2.11 and 2.12(f) to the Revolving Credit 1 Loans and/or the Revolving Credit 2 Loans in such percentages as the Borrower may elect, which payments shall be made to the Revolving Credit 1 Lenders or the Revolving Credit 2 Lenders, as the case may be, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit 1 Loans or Revolving Credit 2 Loans (as applicable) then held by such Lenders, (iii) the Borrower shall make prepayments of the Revolving Credit 1 Loans and/or Revolving Credit 2 Loans as required pursuant to Sections 2.12(e) and 2.12(g), which payments shall be made to the Revolving Credit 1 Lenders or the Revolving Credit 2 Lenders, as the case may be, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit 1 Loans or Revolving Credit 2 Loans (as applicable) then held by such Lenders, and (iv) the Borrower shall repay the outstanding Revolving Credit 1 Loans to the Revolving Credit 1 Lenders on the Revolving Credit 1 Termination Date and the Revolving Credit 2 Loans to the Revolving Credit 2 Lenders on the Revolving Credit 2 Termination Date.

(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 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

 

79


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 the Loans made pursuant to such borrowing as if they were Base Rate Loans, 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 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

 

80


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.

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

 

81


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, 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.

 

82


(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. 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

 

83


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 converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion 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.

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.

 

84


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.

(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;

(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;

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 .

(b) Each Conversion Option shall become effective upon Borrower’s and Administrative Agent’s written acknowledgement or receipt of such Lender’s election to exercise the Conversion Option; provided, however, that (i) no Conversion Option shall become effective unless each of such Lender’s Affiliates and Affiliated Funds holding Revolving Credit 2 Commitments and/or Term B-2 Loans exercise the Conversion Option with respect to such Revolving Credit 2 Commitments and/or Term B-2 Loans.

(c) Any Loans so converted will be allocated between Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans (and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, with the same allocation among Interest

 

92

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 1 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 1 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 1 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).

(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.

 

93


(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 1 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.

In the event that a Lender Default with respect to a Revolving Credit 1 Lender occurs at a time when any Letter of Credit is outstanding, then (i) such Revolving Credit 1 Lender shall be deemed a “Defaulting Lender and (ii) unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, such Revolving Credit 1 Lender’s Revolving Credit 1 Percentage of all undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit 1 Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit 1 Percentages (adjusted to eliminate the effect of any Defaulting Lenders), but only to the extent that (a) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit 1 Extensions of Credit (following the reallocation) does not exceed the Total Revolving Credit 1 Commitments of all Revolving Credit 1 Lenders that are non Defaulting Lenders. If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding sentence cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days following the request of the Issuing Bank, deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit multiplied by such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit 1 Percentage (less the portion of such amount that has been reallocated pursuant to the prior sentence) (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit 1 Percentage of the aggregate

 

94


amount of all such undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit). 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 specified above, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days following 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 of Letters of Credit multiplied by the aggregate Revolving Credit 1 Percentages of all Defaulting Lenders (less the portion of such amount that has been reallocated pursuant to the prior sentence) 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 (or upon any such Defaulting Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender), if any, shall be returned to the Borrower.

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 constituting Revolving Credit 1 Loans, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit 1 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 (it being understood that the fee that would have accrued to the benefit of such Defaulting Lender shall instead accrue to the benefit of the Revolving 1 Credit Lenders who were allocated the Defaulting Lender’s participation in the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2 above (and the fee that accrues on the portion of the Letters of Credit required to be cash collateralized pursuant to Section 3.3 above shall be payable to the Issuing 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 1 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. Upon any change in the Revolving Credit 1 Percentage of any L/C Participant, the L/C participations allocated to each L/C Participant shall be automatically reallocated such that each L/C Participant shall hold for its own risk and account an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participants new Revolving Credit 1 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 1 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 1 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 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 constituting Revolving Credit 1 Loans. 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.

 

96


(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 and the Administrative Agent 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 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.

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

 

97


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 1 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, any Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, 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.

(o) The Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to observe, satisfy or perform, or there shall be a violation or breach of, any of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants or conditions attaching to or under the issuance to such Person of any Permit or any such Permit or any provision thereof shall be suspended, revoked, cancelled, terminated or materially and adversely modified or fail to be in full force and effect or any Governmental Authority shall challenge or seek to revoke any such Permit, if such failure to perform, violation, breach, suspension, revocation, cancellation, termination or modification could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(p) Wynn Resorts Holdings takes any actions in violation of Section 7.24;

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in subsection (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to Wynn Resorts Holdings or any Loan Party, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Facility Lenders for the respective Facility, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Facility Lenders for the respective Facility, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Revolving Credit Commitments, the New Term Loan Commitments, and/or the Term B Loan Commitments, as the case may be, to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the applicable Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under the Security Documents (subject to applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and the UCC and securing any required Nevada Gaming Approvals), including, without limitation, the Security Agreement and the Mortgages, or otherwise available under applicable law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to (I) enter into possession of the Project and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the Project or to operate and maintain the Project and (II) set off and apply all monies on deposit in any Account or any amounts paid under the Completion Guaranty or any other monies of a Loan Party on deposit with the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the satisfaction of the Obligations. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such

 

151


Letters of Credit (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit 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 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 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.

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

 

153


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.

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 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

 

154


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 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

 

155


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 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.

 

156


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).

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.

(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.

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

 

162


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 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.

 

163


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 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.

 

164


(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 the Borrower (only in connection with a Permitted Loan Repurchase), 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 1 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 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 the Borrower (in connection with a Permitted Loan Repurchase), 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 1 Commitments or Revolving Credit 2 Commitments or $1,000,000 with respect to Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans, 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 (unless such Assignee is the Borrower) 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.

(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.

 

165


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 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 1 Note, Revolving Credit 2 Note, Term B-1 Note, Term B-2 Note and/or New Term Note, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit 1 Note, Revolving Credit 2 Note, Term B-1 Note, Term B-2 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 1 Commitment, Revolving Credit 2 Commitment, Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans and/or New Term Loan 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 1 Commitment, a Revolving Credit 2 Commitment, Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans and/or New Term Loans or a New Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit 1 Note, Revolving Credit 2 Note, Term B-1 Note, Term B-2 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 1 Commitment, Revolving Credit 2 Commitment, Term B-1 Loans, Term B-1 Loans, and/or New Term Loans 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.

 

166


(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall be permitted to acquire Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) pursuant to a Permitted Loan Repurchase so long as any Loans so acquired are cancelled and retired immediately upon the closing of such Permitted Loan Repurchase. For all purposes under this Agreement, upon the closing of a Permitted Loan Repurchase, any Loans acquired by the Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Loan Repurchase (i) shall be deemed not to be outstanding and to have no principal amount and (ii) shall be deemed to be automatically cancelled and retired without any further action by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person; provided , however , that the Borrower shall take such actions and execute such documents and agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to further evidence such cancellation and retirement. Immediately upon the cancellation and retirement of any Revolving Credit 1 Loans or Revolving Credit 2 Loans acquired by the Borrower from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to a Permitted Loan Repurchase, the Revolving Credit 1 Commitment or Revolving Credit 2 Commitment of such Lender (as applicable) shall be reduced by an amount equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit 1 Commitment or Revolving Credit 2 Commitment (as applicable), multiplied by (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the principal amount of the Revolving Credit 1 Loans or Revolving Credit 2 Loans so acquired by (B) the aggregate amount of all Revolving 1 Extensions of Credit or Revolving 2 Extensions of Credit (as applicable) of such Lender immediately prior to such Permitted Loan Repurchase. For purposes of clarification, Permitted Loan Repurchases shall not constitute payments (or prepayments) of Loans for any purpose hereunder.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off .

(a) Except for Permitted Loan Repurchases and except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders holding particular Loans or 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 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

 

167


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, 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;

 

168


(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 an Affiliate of a Lender or an 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 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-1 Loan Extensions of Credit, Term B-2 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.

 

169

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.
