In addition, on June 21, 2016, the Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2016, among CEC, CEOC and certain holders of claims (the “SGN Claims”) in respect of CEOC’s 10.75% senior unsecured notes due 2016 and 10.75% / 11.5% senior toggle notes due 2018 (the “SGN RSA”), was amended to limit the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements made by any Consenting SGN Creditor (as defined in the SGN RSA) to the business units of the Consenting SGN Creditors party thereto. On June 21, 2016, the SGN RSA, as amended, became effective upon the waiver by the Caesars Parties (as defined in the SGN RSA) of the requirement that holders of at least 66.7% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the SGN Claims sign the SGN RSA because Consenting SGN Creditors holding in excess of 65% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the SGN Claims have signed the SGN RSA.
