7.2. Mandatory Disposition or Redemption Pursuant to Gaming Laws

 

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, 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 (1) 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 (2) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it shall not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to:

(1) the termination of the period described above for the holder or beneficial owner to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability; or

 


(2) 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

 

(b) redeem the Notes of the holder or beneficial owner at a redemption price equal to:

 

(1) the price determined by the Gaming Authority; or

 

(2) if the Gaming Authority does not determine a price, the lesser of:

 

(A) the principal amount of the Notes; and

 

(B) the price that the holder or beneficial owner paid for the Notes,

 

and in the case of (A) or (B), together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the earlier of (1) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (2) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption. 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:

 

(i) exercise, directly or indirectly, through any Person, any right conferred by the Notes, this Agreement or the Deed of Appointment and Priority; or

 

(ii) receive any interest or any other distribution or payment with respect to the Notes, or any remuneration in any form from the Company for services rendered or otherwise, except the redemption price of the Notes.

From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled.

 

8. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

 

8.1. Senior Loan Facilities Covenants

 

The covenants of Schedule 5 of the Common Terms Agreement (or the covenants of any amended, supplemented, refinanced or replacement Senior Loan Facilities) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes where the context permits such construction, and to the extent the context does not permit such construction, such provisions shall apply as closely as possible under the circumstances. Any and all waivers, consents or approvals made or given, or deemed given, by the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or any agent or adviser acting on their behalf) under the Senior Loan Facilities shall apply to the Notes with the same effect as if the waiver had been given by the holders of the Notes.

 

8.2. Aggregate Principal Amount of Senior Indebtedness

 

Notwithstanding Section 8.1, the Company shall not amend, supplement, refinance or replace the Senior Loan Facilities such that the principal amount of funded Senior Indebtedness outstanding at any time exceeds $800,000,000 (or if the Company incurs Financial Indebtedness (as defined in the Common Terms Agreement) permitted under paragraph 2(f) of Schedule 5 Part B of the Common Terms Agreement, $800,000,000 plus an amount being 150% of the aggregate amount of such Financial Indebtedness incurred by the Company).

 

9. COVENANTS OF THE HOLDERS OF NOTES

 

It is the express intention of the parties that the Company is entitled to have outstanding at any time up to $800,000,000 (or if the Company incurs Financial Indebtedness (as defined in the Common Terms Agreement) permitted under paragraph 2(f) of Schedule 5 Part B of the Common Terms Agreement, $800,000,000 plus an amount being 150% of the aggregate amount of such Financial Indebtedness incurred by the Company) aggregate principal amount of funded Senior Indebtedness. To this end, each holder of Notes shall cooperate with the Company in its incurrence of Senior Indebtedness by taking all actions requested by the Company to facilitate such incurrence, including, without limitation, entering into intercreditor agreements that, taken as a whole, are not less favorable to the holders of Notes than the terms of the Deed of Appointment and Priority.

 

10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

The events of default in Schedule 10 of the Common Terms Agreement (or the events of default of any amended, supplemented, refinanced or replacement Senior Loan Facilities) (each, an “Event of Default”) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes where the

 


context permits such construction, and to the extent the context does not permit such construction, such provisions shall apply as closely as possible under the circumstances. Any and all waivers of a Default or an Event of Default given, or deemed given, by the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or any agent or adviser acting on their behalf) under the Senior Loan Facilities shall apply to the Notes with the same effect as if the waiver had been given by the holders of the Notes.

 

11. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

 

11.1. Deed of Appointment and Priority

 

No holder of Notes may exercise any rights or remedies or take any action in respect of the breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default except as provided in the Deed of Appointment and Priority (or the provisions of any amended, supplemented, refinanced or replacement agreement governing intercreditor arrangements). Any proceeds from the exercise of remedies in accordance with the Deed of Appointment and Priority shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Deed of Appointment and Priority (or the provisions of any amended, supplemented, refinanced or replacement agreement governing intercreditor arrangements).

The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration (and registration of transfers) of Notes. The name and address of each holder of Notes, and, subject to Section 12.2, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.

 

12.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes

 

Except as provided in the Deed of Appointment and Priority or in Section 7.2 hereof, the rights of each holder of Notes under this Agreement and the Notes may not be assigned or transferred without the consent of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Except as provided in the Deed of Appointment and Priority, the rights of each holder of Notes under this Agreement and the Notes may not be assigned or transferred without the prior written consent of the Company. Subject to compliance with applicable law, obtaining the requisite consents and to the execution of deeds of accession acceptable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the Company, upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note

 


shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Each Note may be transferred only in whole, and not in part. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Schedule B as of the date of transfer and shall be deemed to have agreed to, and shall be subject to, all terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Notes.

 

12.3. Replacement of Notes

 

Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and

 

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, or

 

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

 

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

 

13. PAYMENTS ON NOTES

 

13.1. Place of Payment

 

The Company will pay, or arrange for payment of, all sums becoming due on such Note for principal and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by the holder of such Note. Upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender such Note for cancellation, promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by you, you will surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes in accordance with Section 12.2.

No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
