1.2 Interpretation

  (b) any reference to any or all of the Grantors or any or all of the Secured Parties shall be construed so as to include its or their (and any subsequent) successors and any permitted assignees and transferees in accordance with their respective interests.

The sole recourse of the Secured Parties for satisfaction of any of the obligations of any of the Obligors hereunder and under the other Finance Documents shall be against the Obligors, and not against any assets or property of any Operative save to the extent such Operative is party to a Finance Document and is expressed to be liable for such obligation thereunder. In the case of Mr Wong Chi Seng, his liability shall be limited to his shares in the Company.

 

2. Payment of Secured Obligations

 

The Company shall discharge and pay to the Security Agent (when due and payable) each of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Finance Documents provided that:

 

  (a) neither the obligations of the Company under this Clause nor the security constituted by this Agreement shall extend to or include any liability or sum which would, but for this proviso, cause such obligations or security to be unlawful or prohibited by any applicable law; and

 

  (b)

every payment by the Company of any sum in respect of the Secured Obligations to or for the account of any of the Secured Parties to whom the same is due and payable which is made in accordance with the terms of the

Finance Documents under which such sum is payable to such Secured Parties shall operate in satisfaction pro tanto of such covenant.

 

3. Assignment

 

3.1 Assignment

 

The Company hereby assigns by way of security to the Security Agent as security for the discharge and payment of the Secured Obligations to the Security Agent all the Company’s rights, title and interests from time to time in and/or under each of the Onshore Insurance Policies including, without limitation, all proceeds and benefits of all claims in respect of each of the Onshore Insurance Policies, together with cash and other property at any time receivable or distributable in respect of each of the Onshore Insurance Policies.

 

3.2 Obligations to Perform

 

Notwithstanding the assignment referred to in Clause 3.1 (Assignment), the Company remains liable to perform the obligations imposed on it under or in respect of the Onshore Insurance Policies and neither the Security Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties is liable to perform any of such obligations nor liable for the consequences of non-performance.

 

3.3 Rights Prior to Enforcement

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Clause 8, unless and until the issuance of an Enforcement Notice by the Security Agent to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights, title and interests in the Onshore Insurance Policies in accordance with Schedule 7 to the Common Terms Agreement.

 

4. Perfection of Security

 

4.1 The Company shall deliver to the Security Agent (or procure the delivery to the Security Agent of):

 

  (a) in respect of each Onshore Insurance Policy subsisting at the date of this Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement, a notice of assignment to the Macau Direct Insurer(s) under such Onshore Insurance Policy substantially in the form of the Schedule A (Form of Notice of Assignment of Onshore Insurance Policy) (or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent) duly executed by, or on behalf of, the Company, and shall procure that each such notice is acknowledged by such Macau Direct Insurer in substantially the form of acknowledgement attached to such notice within 30 days of the date of this Agreement; and

 

  (b)

in respect of each Onshore Insurance Policy effected or coming into existence after the date of this Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effecting or coming to existence of such Onshore Insurance Policy, a notice of assignment to the Macau Direct Insurer(s) under such Onshore Insurance Policy substantially in the form of the Schedule A (Form of Notice of Assignment of Onshore Insurance Policy) (or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Security Agent) duly executed by, or on behalf

 

- 3 -


 

of, the Company, and shall procure that each such notice is acknowledged by such Macau Direct Insurer in substantially the form of acknowledgement attached to such notice within 30 days of the date of the effecting or coming into existence of such Onshore Insurance Policy.

 

4.2 The assignment of the Company’s rights, title and interests in any Onshore Insurance Policy which shall be effected or come into existence after the date of this Agreement, is a promissory assignment and will become definitive upon the Macau Direct Insurer(s) under such Onshore Insurance Policy receiving the notice of assignment in accordance with Clause 4.1(b). If the Company fails to comply with Clause 4.1, the Security Agent may request from the courts in Macau SAR a judgment for specific performance for the conversion of any such promissory assignment into a definitive assignment.

The Company hereby undertakes with the Security Agent that at all times during the subsistence of this Agreement, it will do and execute all things and documents as the Security Agent shall require it do or execute for the purpose of exercising the Security Agent’s Rights, securing and/or perfecting and/or enforcing the Assignment provided that any such requirement shall be reasonable prior to the delivery of an Enforcement Notice to the Company.

8.1 Conduct of Claims - Company

 

Notwithstanding Clause 3 (Assignment), but subject to Clause 8.2 (Default), the Company has the sole conduct of all claims under the Onshore Insurance Policies other than as expressly provided in Schedule 7 to the Common Terms Agreement.

 

8.2 Conduct of Claims - Default

8.3 Proceeds of Claims

 

The proceeds of all claims under the Onshore Insurance Policies shall be applied in accordance with Schedule 7 (Insurance) to the Common Terms Agreement.

 

9. Enforcement of Assignment

 

9.1 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Security Agent may, at any time after the Security Agent shall have given an Enforcement Notice to the Company enforce the Assignment without prior notice to the Company or prior authorisation from the Company or any court. To this effect, the Security Agent may without limitation give notice to

 

- 5 -


the Macau Direct Insurer(s) under any Onshore Insurance Policies that all rights, discretions and remedies of the Company in and/or under such Onshore Insurance Policies shall thereafter and until further notice be exercised and enforced by the Security Agent.

 

9.2 So long as Wynn Resorts has not delivered a notice under Clause 5.2 of the Wynn Resorts Support Agreement terminating its obligations under Clause 6 thereof, the Security Agent shall, prior to the acceptance of any offer made by a Senior Secured Creditor for the purchase of all or any of the Charged Property, give reasonable details of all of the written offers received by the Security Agent for the purchase of such Charged Property.

 

9.3 In making any sale or other disposal of all or any part of the Charged Property or any acquisition in the exercise of its powers, the Security Agent may do so for such consideration, in such manner, and generally on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit. Any contract for such sale, disposal or acquisition by the Security Agent may contain conditions excluding or restricting the personal liability of the Security Agent.

 

10. Application of Moneys

 

10.1 All moneys received or recovered by the Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the powers conferred by it shall (subject to (a) the claims of any Person having prior rights thereto and (b) Clause 10.2) be applied by the Security Agent (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Company or any other Grantor) in accordance with Clause 9 (Disposal and Insurance Proceeds) or, as the case may be, Clause 15 (Application of Proceeds) of the Deed of Appointment and Priority.

 

10.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents, the Security Agent may, at any time after the delivery of an Enforcement Notice to the Company, pay any or all of the moneys received, recovered or realised by the Security Agent under this Agreement (including without limitation the proceeds of any conversion of currency) into any suspense or impersonal account (which is interest-bearing provided that there is no tax liability on the Security Agent with respect to any interest in such account) for so long as the Security Agent shall think fit (whether or not any Secured Obligations shall have become due) pending any further application of such moneys (as the Security Agent shall be entitled, but not obliged, to do in its discretion) in accordance with the provisions of Clause 10.1. If the Secured Obligations have been fully discharged or would be fully discharged if the moneys in such suspense or impersonal account were applied towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, the Security Agent shall apply the moneys in such suspense or impersonal account towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations and if there are any moneys remaining in such suspense or impersonal account after the Secured Obligations have been fully discharged, the Security Agent shall pay such remaining moneys to any Person as directed by the Company. Any interest accrued on any moneys in such suspense or impersonal account shall be credited to such suspense or, as the case may be, impersonal account and shall subject to the terms of this Clause 10.2, be applied towards satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.

 

11. Company’s Obligations

 

The obligations of the Company hereunder and the Security Agent’s Rights shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by:

 

  (a) any winding-up, dissolution, re-organisation, bankruptcy, death or insolvency of, or any change in, the Company or any other Person;

 

- 6 -


  (b) any of the Secured Obligations being at any time illegal, invalid, unenforceable or ineffective;

 

  (c) any unenforceability or invalidity of any other agreement or document;

 

  (d) any time or other indulgence being granted to the Company or any other Person in respect of any of the Secured Obligations;

 

  (e) any amendment, variation, waiver or release of any of the Secured Obligations except for a release or discharge in accordance with Clause 16.20 of the Deed of Appointment and Priority;

 

  (f) any variation of the terms upon which the Security Agent holds the security constituted hereby;

 

  (g) any failure to take or failure to realise the value of any other collateral in respect of the Secured Obligations or any release, discharge, exchange or substitution of any such collateral; or

 

  (h) any other act, event or omission which but for this provision would or might operate to impair, discharge or otherwise affect any or all of the obligations of the Company or the Security Agent’s Rights hereunder.

 

12. Effectiveness of Collateral

 

12.1 No failure on the part of the Security Agent to exercise, or delay on its part in exercising, any Security Agent’s Right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of a Security Agent’s Right preclude any further or other exercise of that or any other Security Agent’s Right.

 

12.2 The Security Agent shall not be obliged, before exercising any Security Agent’s Right as against the Company (a) to make any demand of any other Grantor or any other Person, (b) to take any action or obtain judgment in any court against the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person, (c) to make or file any proof or claim in a liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person or (d) to enforce or seek to enforce any other security in respect of the Secured Obligations.

 

12.3 Until the satisfaction of the requirements set out in Clause 16.20 of the Deed of Appointment and Priority in respect of the release of security, any settlement or discharge hereunder shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Security Agent by or on behalf of the Company and/or any other Grantor being avoided or reduced by virtue of the Company’s or any other Grantor’s bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application and shall in those circumstances be void.

 

13. Set-Off

 

The Company authorises the Security Agent (but the Security Agent shall not be obliged to exercise such right) from time to time to, after the delivery of an Enforcement Notice to the Company, set off against any or all of the sums due and payable but unpaid by and/or any or all of the obligations of the Company to the Security Agent under this Agreement any amount or other obligation (contingent or otherwise) owing by the Security Agent to the Company and

 

- 7 -


apply any credit balance to which the Company is entitled on any account with the Security Agent in discharge of such sums payable by and/or such obligations of the Company (notwithstanding any specified maturity of any deposit standing to the credit of any such account).

  (i) the perfection of the security contemplated in this Agreement; and

 

  (ii) the exercise, preservation and/or enforcement of any of the Security Agent’s Rights or the security contemplated by this Agreement or any proceedings instituted by or against the Security Agent as a consequence of taking or holding the security or of enforcing the Security Agent’s Rights,

14.2 Stamp Taxes

 

The Company shall pay all stamp, registration and other taxes to which this Agreement, the security contemplated in this Agreement or any judgment given in connection with it is or at any time may be subject and shall, from time to time, indemnify the Security Agent on demand against any liabilities, costs, claims and expenses resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying any such tax other than any liabilities, costs, claims and expenses which arise as a consequence of any gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Security Agent.

 

14.3 Indemnity

 

The Company shall, notwithstanding any release or discharge of all or any part of the security, indemnify the Security Agent, its agents and any attorneys against any action, proceeding, claims, losses, liabilities and costs which it has sustained as a consequence of any breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, the exercise of any of the rights and powers conferred on them by this Agreement (other than any loss or cost which arises as a consequence of any gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Security Agent) provided that such costs shall be reasonable prior to the delivery of an Enforcement Notice to the Company. The Company is not liable to indemnify the Security Agent against any costs referred to in this Clause 14.3 to the extent that such costs have been paid by the Company to the Security Agent under Clause 14.1.

 

- 8 -


14.4 No Liability

 

Subject to Clause 9.2, none of the Security Agent or its nominee(s) shall be liable by reason of (a) taking any action permitted by this Agreement or (b) any neglect or default in connection with all or any part of the Charged Property or (c) the taking possession or realisation of all or any part of the Charged Property, except in each case in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct upon its part.

 

15. Currency Conversion and Indemnity

 

15.1 For the purpose of or pending the discharge of any or all of the Secured Obligations, the Security Agent may convert any moneys received, recovered or realised or subject to application by the Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement from the currency of such moneys to another for such purpose, and any such conversion shall be made at the Security Agent’s spot rate of exchange for the time being (or such other rate as may be available to the Security Agent from time to time in the ordinary course of business) for obtaining such other currency with the first currency and the Secured Obligations shall be discharged only to the extent of the net proceeds of such conversion received by the Security Agent.

 

15.2 If any sum (a “Sum”) due from the Company under this Agreement or any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which such Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of:

 

  (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Company; or

 

  (b) obtaining or enforcing an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal,

 

the Company shall (through the Security Agent) indemnify each Person to whom such Sum is due from and against any loss suffered or incurred as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert such Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange at which such Person may in the ordinary course of business purchase the First Currency with the Second Currency at the time of receipt of such Sum.

 

16. Payments Free of Deduction

 

All payments to be made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of tax unless the Company is required to make such payment subject to the deduction or withholding of tax, in which case the sum payable by the Company in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Person on account of whose liability to tax such deduction or withholding has been made receives and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.

 

17. Partial Invalidity

 

If, at any time, any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of

 

- 9 -


the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor of such provision under the laws of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby and, if any part of the security intended to be created by or pursuant to this Agreement is invalid, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason, that shall not affect or impair any other part of the security.

 

18. Discretion and Delegation

 

18.1 Any liberty or power which may be exercised or any determination which may be made hereunder by the Security Agent may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deed of Appointment and Priority, be exercised or made in its absolute and unfettered discretion without any obligation to give reasons save that the Security Agent shall act in a reasonable manner if expressly required hereunder.

 

18.2 The Security Agent shall have full power to delegate (either generally or specifically) the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on it by this Agreement on such terms and conditions as it shall see fit which delegation shall not preclude either the subsequent exercise of such power, authority or discretion by the Security Agent itself or any subsequent delegation or revocation thereof.
