Date, the first Business Day immediately following the date of such Cross Acceleration Occurrence, (ii) if there has been no Cross Acceleration Occurrence, the 20th Business Day immediately following such Early Termination Date or (iii) such other date as the parties may agree in writing.

Such interest shall accrue from, and including, such Early Termination Date to, but excluding, the CLF Closing Date and shall be payable on the CLF Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, (i) if the purchase of Shares by Liquidity Provider under Section 2(a) (A) is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Counterparty or any of their Affiliates, (B) (1) would require any Gaming Application or Gaming Approval or the consent of any Person under any agreement entered into for purposes of complying with Gaming Law requirements or (2) would violate, contravene or constitute a default under any provision of applicable Gaming Law, or (C) would otherwise be unavailable to the Banks, or (ii) if Liquidity Provider so elects by prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and each Initial Bank following the election by an Initial Bank to require Liquidity Provider to purchase Pledged Shares pursuant to Section 2(a), then in lieu of such purchase, as of the CLF Closing Date, each Bank will irrevocably sell and assign to Liquidity Provider, and Liquidity Provider will irrevocably purchase and assume from such Bank all of such Bank’s rights and obligations under the relevant ISDA Agreement and Security Documents for the aggregate purchase price (with respect to all ISDA Agreements) equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of all then outstanding obligations to the Banks under such ISDA Agreements and (b) the CLF Purchase Price (the “CLF Amount”); provided that in the event the foregoing sale and assignment of the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents from the Banks to Liquidity Provider (x) would require any Gaming Application or Gaming Approval or the consent of any Person under any agreement entered into for purposes of complying with Gaming Law requirements or (y) would violate, contravene or constitute a default under any provision of applicable Gaming Law (the matters described in the preceding clauses (x) and (y) being the “Gaming Law Conditions”) and such Gaming Law Conditions are not satisfied or otherwise resolved as of the CLF Closing Date, then Liquidity Provider shall pay the CLF Amount to the Collateral Agent on the CLF Closing Date, such payment to be made, at the election of Liquidity Provider, in its discretion, (I) on account of the sale and assignment of the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents, whereupon the Collateral Agent and the Banks shall hold the ISDA Agreements, Security Documents and Collateral in trust for the benefit of Liquidity Provider until such time as the same may be delivered to Liquidity Provider or its designee upon the satisfaction or other resolution of the applicable Gaming Law Conditions, or (II) on account of the sale and assignment of the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents, whereupon the Collateral Agent and the Banks shall deposit the ISDA Agreements, Security Documents and Collateral with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to Liquidity Provider until such time as the same may be released to Liquidity Provider or its designee upon the satisfaction or other resolution of the applicable Gaming Law Conditions; provided, further, however, that (III) if, as of the CLF Closing Date, (x) Gaming Law Conditions would prohibit the sale and assignment of the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents pursuant to clause (I) or (II) above, or (y) if Liquidity Provider so elects in its discretion, then Liquidity Provider or its designee shall pay the CLF Amount to the Collateral Agent on account of the Counterparties’ obligations under the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents, whereupon all obligations of the Counterparties and Liquidity Provider then due under the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents shall be

deemed satisfied in full, the ISDA Agreements and Security Documents shall be deemed cancelled and the Collateral shall be released from the Liens of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties. If Liquidity Provider proceeds under clause (III) of the preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties promptly shall execute and deliver to Liquidity Provider such termination statements, releases and other documents as Liquidity Provider may request to effectively confirm such cancellation and release. The sales, assignments and other transactions under clauses (I), (II) and (III) shall be without recourse to the Banks. No sale or assignment by the Banks to Liquidity Provider of all or any portion of their rights and obligations under the ISDA Agreements and the other Transaction Documents shall be effective unless and until the Banks shall have received payment of the purchase price therefor from Liquidity Provider.

(c) The obligations of Liquidity Provider under this Section 2 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of either Counterparty under any Transaction Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Transaction Document;

(iii) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of either Counterparty under any Transaction Document;

(iv) any change in the limited liability company or limited partnership (as applicable) existence, structure or ownership of either Counterparty, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting either Counterparty or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of either Counterparty contained in any Transaction Document;

(v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which Liquidity Provider may have at any time against either Counterparty, any Secured Party or any other entity, whether in connection herewith or with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against either Counterparty for any reason of any Transaction Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by either Counterparty of any amounts payable pursuant to any Transaction Document; or

(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by either Counterparty, any Secured Party or any other person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder.

 

6


(d) Liquidity Provider’s obligations under this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the obligations of the Counterparties under the Transaction Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any obligation of either Counterparty is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Counterparty or otherwise, Liquidity Provider’s obligations hereunder in respect of such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

(e) If the acceleration of the time for payment of any obligation of either Counterparty under the Transaction Documents is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Counterparty, the obligation of Liquidity Provider under this Section 2 shall nonetheless continue in effect and the Banks may exercise their right to require Liquidity Provider to perform under Section 2 forthwith or at any time thereafter.

SECTION 3. Right Of First Refusal. Upon the receipt of any Designation Notice from the Initiating Bank, and subject to the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, Liquidity Provider shall have the right by providing telephonic or written notice to the Initial Banks and the Collateral Agent (an “ROFR Exercise Notice”) by the Election Deadline, followed by written confirmation of telephonic notice, to purchase the Pledged Shares (a “Liquidity Provider Purchase”) at a purchase price per share equal to the closing price of the Shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such Designation Notice (or if such closing price is unavailable, the last available closing price of the Shares, as reasonably determined by the Initial Banks). Such purchase price for all the Pledged Shares is referred to herein as the “ROFR Purchase Price”. Unless (x) a Withdrawal Notice is delivered pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, (y) the Counterparties pay the amount payable in respect of all Transactions specified in the Designation Notice, or (z) a Buy-Out Exercise Notice is delivered pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, in each case prior to the Election Deadline, the closing date (the “Liquidity Provider Purchase Closing Date”) of Liquidity Provider Purchase shall be (i) if there has been a Cross Acceleration Occurrence, the first Business Day immediately following such Early Termination Date or, if there is a Cross Acceleration Occurrence after such Early Termination Date, the first Business Day immediately following the date of such Cross Acceleration Occurrence, (ii) if there has been no Cross Acceleration Occurrence, the 20th Business Day immediately following such Early Termination Date or (iii) such other date as the parties may agree in writing. Interest shall be payable by Liquidity Provider to the Banks on the amount paid to purchase Shares pursuant to this Section 3 at the applicable LIBOR rate as determined by the Initial Banks plus Spread. Such interest shall accrue from, and including, the applicable Early Termination Date to, but excluding, the Liquidity Provider Purchase Closing Date and shall be payable on the Liquidity Provider Purchase Closing Date.

SECTION 4. Representations And Warranties Of Liquidity Provider. Liquidity Provider hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Banks that:

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Liquidity Provider hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any tax (except for income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) a Bank’s net income by the United States, or by the jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or located (“Excluded Taxes”)), provided that if Liquidity Provider shall be required to deduct any tax (other than Excluded Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this provision) Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Liquidity Provider shall make such deductions and (iii) Liquidity Provider shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Liquidity Provider shall pay all stamp, transfer, registration or other taxes, duties assessments or governmental charges of any nature payable in respect of any obligation under the Liquidity Agreement.

(c) Liquidity Provider shall indemnify Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any tax (other than Excluded Taxes) paid by Bank on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Liquidity Provider hereunder (including any tax (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 10) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Liquidity Provider by Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
